Is It Really For The Best?

Chapter Three: The Short Times Are Quietly Passing...

'No way! InuYasha would never say things like this to me! What's going on! Why would he! He doesn't mean what he said does he! No way I'm not dreaming! NO WAY!' Kagome screamed in her head.

InuYasha, now worried, tried to shake Kagome from her thoughts,"Kagome! Kagome! Are you okay? Why are you standing there with that look on your face? Say something!" he shook her again.

Kagome snapped back from her thoughts," Ah! I'm sorry, InuYasha. It's just too unbelievable that you would come to my era just to see me in the middle of the night...it's so...unlike you. Are you feeling alright?"

InuYasha blushed at Kagome's words. 'Did she have to say it like that! And what does she mean,'so unlike me'? He was now frustrated at his embarassment," I'm feeling fine! Is it really that unbelievable that I would do this! What's so unbelievable about it anyway!"

Kagome blinked in surprise.'What was that outburst for? Did I...did I hurt his feelings or something?'

InuYasha was standing there, still blushing, and waiting for an answer.

Kagome smiled,"Sorry if I hurt your feelings or anything, InuYasha, it's just...you don't normally do this sorta thing. I'm really glad though...I-I couldn't sleep either...I wanted to see you." she blushed slightly.

InuYasha just stared in disbelief.'She...wanted to...see me too...?'

Remembering the rest of InuYasha's words, Kagome decided to ask,"Do you really think I shouldn't leave? I mean..." Kagome's blush deepened, "I'd miss you too."

InuYasha left his thoughts and answered,"Yeah, I think you should stay..." he started to blush again, "...uh, you know why."

Kagome smiled,"Now that you're here, do you wanna take a walk with me?"

InuYasha smiled back,"Y-yeah."

Kagome lead InuYasha to a nearby park,"This used to be my favorite place to play when I was little."

InuYasha had been to Kagome's era a few times and passed this park but he never really stopped to look around. He now noticed how green and lush the grass and trees were and how beautiful it was.

They stopped and sat under the largest tree in the park. The moonlight reflected off the nearby creek and InuYasha was feeling a little regret for not stopping at this park at least for a little while before.

The fuedal era was beautiful too, but he never really had much time to admire it because he was always busy thinking about Naraku and the jewel shards and when demons would show up.

"So what do you think, InuYasha? It's kind of hard to tell now because it's dark, but don't you think this park is pretty?

InuYasha was silent for a moment and took in more of the scenery around him,"It's...beautiful."

Kagome smiled again,"I was hoping you'd think so too."

A gentle but cool breeze whisped by and Kagome shuddered and wrapped her arm around herself in an attempt to warm herself up.

It was no use. Another breeze slightly stronger than the last whisped by and Kagome suddered again. Her thin coat obviously wasn't helping.

InuYasha just noticed her shivering. He didn't realize it was cold at all, his robe was keeping him plenty warm."Kagome..." InuYasha took off a part of his robe and wrapped it around her shoulders.

Kagome was surprized at InuYasha's action and spoke up,"No InuYasha, I'm fine. What if you get cold?" she said removing his robe from her shoulders.

InuYasha shook his head,"I'm fine, I'm half demon remember?" (does that change anything? --;)

Kagome thought about giving it back anyway but realized how cold she really was and kept it."Thank you, InuYasha."

He just shook his head,"mmm."

After a while it got colder and Kagome started to shiver again.

Noticing this InuYasha felt a little hesitant about it but didn't want Kagome to be cold so he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him for warmth.

Kagome was surprized but said nothing and smiled. Hesitantly she rested her head on his shoulder. She was worn out and tired from shivering and being up so late. Pretty soon, she fell asleep in InuYasha's arms.

InuYasha was feeling tired himself and rested his head on Kagome's and fell asleep.
