Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, I do own Sen
Chapter 8
It had been a couple days since Kagome and Inuyasha had left Sen in the future. Kagome stood by a river, waiting for Inuyasha to come back from a walk he had taken. The wind played with her long hair, causing her to put it up in annoyance. Her beautiful eyes stared at the water, wishing she could jump in for a nice cool dip to get away from the intense heat.
'I wonder how long it's been since I fell down the well? I has to be almost 3 years now, because I'm almost 18. How far away is my birthday anyway?' She wondered, thinking back to the last time she'd checked her calendar. 'It's less then a month away not. I can't wait! I'm going to be legally an adult.'
Kagome was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Inuyasha had come up behind her. He tapped her on the shoulder, causing her to jump from surprise.
"Inuyasha! I didn't even know you were there!" She exclaimed, trying to catch her breath.
"Feh, well you shoulda been paying attention. What if I had been a demon?" Inuyasha growled.
Kagome turned to him and just rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha you are a demon remember? At least a half demon, and if I had been in trouble you would have saved me." Kagome gave him a smile that just melted him inside. He just 'feh'ed and looked away, making sure she didn't see him blush.
Kagome just smiled and looked back towards the water. "Guess what Inuyasha."
"What?" He grumbled, still slightly embarrassed.
"It's almost been 3 years since I first saw you pinned to the tree. I'm almost 18 now. Only one more year of school and then I won't have to go back for tests or anything. Well except to see my family of course." She answered, smiling at all the memories she had made here. This era was more a home to her then the future could ever be to her. Everything felt right here, and nothing could change that.
Inuyasha smiled at the memory of first seeing her. He had thought she was Kikyou, but he was completely wrong. She had more attitude, more of a temper, and more spirit then Kikyou ever had had. She was also calmer, had a more innocent way of looking at things, and knew just how to put him in his place.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and sighed. It had been a couple of days they had told each other how they felt, and he couldn't help but feel as if she was regretting it. She was his entire world, and he knew that, but how did she feel? What if she was just caught up in the moment, and later realized that she didn't love him, and never could? It was tearing him up inside.
He heard Kagome sigh and lean against him, and he wrapped his arms around her thin waist. They both watched the water and thought about their past, and what their future might hold.
Kagome watched Inuyasha as he slept; his long white hair slightly messed up from the pillow, and one of his fangs poking out from behind his lip. His mouth held a small smile, and every once and a while his hands and feet would twitch from some movement in his dream. Kagome watched him from her place beside him with a small frown.
It had been a couple of days since she had heard him say the three words she always wanted to hear, and yet he had not said them again once. She was starting to think he was having doubts of his feelings, or maybe hoping that he had gone with Kikyou to hell. That particular thought brought tears to her eyes, though she tried to hold them back.
Her tears awakened Inuyasha, and he slowly opened his golden orbs to see Kagome looking at him with tears slowly rolling down her face.
"Ka-Kagome? What's wrong?" he whispered, not yet fully awake.
"Nothing, I'm sorry, go back to sleep." She answered, also whispering.
Inuyasha shook his head and propped himself up on his elbows, looking her straight in the eyes. Kagome leaned her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling as close to him as possible.
"What is it?" He asked again, placing one of his arms around her and stroking her hair.
Kagome leaned her head up and looked him in the eyes. "Inuyasha, do you regret telling you that you love me?" she asked, her voice cracking just a little bit.
Inuyasha stared at her for a moment, and then kissed her gently on the forehead. "No, I do not regret saying that I love you, because it's true."
A small smile started on Kagome's lips, and then spread into a large and extremely happy smile. She hugged him hard and said, "I love you too Inuyasha."
Now it was his turn to have a smile spread quickly across his face. He gently kissed her lips, and lay back down. Kagome snuggled in next to him, finally able to get a good night's rest.
... End of Chapter 8 ...
:sighs: I'm sorry it's so short, I'm having a bit of writers block. I have no idea what I want to do with this fic anymore, seeing as it doesn't have a plot. I'm not going to stop it, I just don't know what else to do!
Review Responses:
Inosan: there's two? I saw the one with the lava. She brings Naraku to hell? That's so cool! And I hope this cleared up the age issue, thanks for reminding me that I hadn't talked about her age...but she is older, and it's like a dog, when a dog smells a girl dog in heat he basically wants to jump her . hehe. And personally I don't believe that you have to wait until marriage before sex, but I might do that in this fic, I'm not sure yet...
