Disclamier: Ain't mine not now not ever.:( ON WITH THE STORY!
I'm sooooooooooooo sorry this was supposed to be up like two weeks ago. Sorry sorry sorry sorry. I had personal affairs and a ton of school work and my Editor (Chelsea) Was also busy but school has been hectic cause the end of the year is coming so its not her fault cause I took a long time to write it. At first it was completely different but I changed my mind Because someone didn't like the sappiness of the previous chappie so Adventure was needed.

Long Awaited Confessions chapter 7 - Brighter days
Kagome and Inuyasha stood frozen in their own little world while the others were busy commenting
on the whole situation.About a second or so after Inuyasha had captured Kagome's lips with his
Shippo spoke up in his small rather high pitched voice. "SEE WHAT DID I TELL YA! I KNEW
HE LOVED HER!" Miroku turned, smiled and said "Yes it appears youwere right Shippo." He
glanced over at Sango who gave him a huge smile. It was the brightest he had ever seen in all the
time he had known her. Miroku stood there thinking that she never looked more beautiful. The sun
was beaming down giving her skin a light glow and making her smile all the brighter. Everything
seemed perfect and the inu-gang never seemed happier. But the weather didn't seem to agree as it
quickly switched from sunshine to dark clouds. The thick ominous clouds blocked out the bright sun.
The smiles faded from their faces as it began to pour. The intensity of the storm increased as
booming thunder echoed through the courtyard. Rain was crashing down on the old building. Soon
the structure began to buckle under the strong, seemingly relentless rain and wind. Considering the
age and wear in the building which was scorched and smashed with attacks that had been intended
for them, made it no real surprise. The holes in the roof were allowing immense amounts of water to
pour through them then down and out of the doors surrounding the courtyard which was beginning to
flood. They should have known there was no joy no be had in a place that Naraku had inhabited
they had to get out of there. The flooding rain was starting to rise to their knees as it filled the
courtyard and the castle. Shippo was now cowering on Kirara's back burying his tiny face in the
scruff of her neck and shivering hard. Miroku grabbed Sango as they both jumped on Kilala.
Kagome had long since been secure on Inuyasha's back. Launching into the air the group began to
make their way out of the huge flooding ditch that contained the broken and battered castle. They
hadn't gotten far before Sango screamed "Kohaku we forgot Kohaku!" she had forgotten about him
during her moment of panic. Kirara quickly reversed and headed back toward the crumbling castle.
Inuyasha went back too, but kept more of a distance from the castle. The same castle that had been
the home of that devilish bastard Naraku, who stuck fear in the hearts of so many, who killed
without a care. But now he was dead. Inuyasha took pleasure in the sight of his fortress caving in but
that was short lived as an uncomfortable feeling developed in his stomach as he feared people might
still be inside. Kohaku, Kagura, and Kanna had never emerged from the castle, where they even in
there? A thought struck him "Kagome when you were in the castle do you remember anyone else
being there besides Naraku?" she thought for a moment before replying "I don't remember seeing
anyone in the castle, but I do recall Naraku talking to someone on a few occasions" There was that
feeling again it made his stomach lurch forward feeling as though it would pop out. That wasn't about
to go away and was only made worse but having to constantly dodge falling debris. Sango was
searching frantically for her brother her eyes shooting in every direction as she tried to calm
a frightened Shippo. "Where is he?" she thought frantically. She got her answer as her eyes spotted
three figures shifting around near the south entrance of the castle. Kirara dove down on a direct
course for the figures. They were moving awful slow one in particular seemed to be incapable of
walking and was being supported by the others. She prayed that was not her brother. As hey came
closer she found to her great relief that it was not Kohaku but Kagura. The three figures had just
noticed thepresence of Sango and the others. They landed as close to the group as they could and
ran to help. "Hurry get on Kirara and let's get the hell out of here!" she cried. No one objected nor
did they have time because a pillar came crashing down a mere two feet from them and caused them
to dive at the demon cat. An enormous wave splashed them caused by the falling pillar slamming into
the newly created river. Inuyasha landed a few feet away, the water was now waist high. "Is
everyone ok?" he asked as the boarded Kirara. They all nodded. Sango's eyes widen as she
focused on something behind Inuyasha. "INUYASHA LOOK OUT!" Sango screamed as she
watched it horror, a ten foot wave came crashing down on Inuyasha and Kagome sending them in
different directions. Kagome tried hard to keep her head above water as she heard her friends
scream her and Inuyasha' names. Sucking a small amount of water into her lungs she began to cough
and slip under the water. "Kami-sama please let Inuyasha or someone save me!" she thought
praying. Inuyasha wasalready on his way to save her. Kagome's hands were in the air grabbing for
anything as she tried to stay afloat. "Inuyasha where are you?" Kagome screamed in her head.
Suddenly she felt herself being lifted from the raging water. "Kagome are you alright?" Inuyasha spat
out quickly trying to regain his breath as he fought against the current. She nodded as she began to
cough in an attempt to remove the water that plagued her lungs. Inuyasha wrapped her arms tightly
around his chest as he began to swim toward a small bank. Climbing on the small piece of a wall that
was left standing Inuyasha coiled his hands around Kagome's shaking thighs as tight as possible and
jumped into the air headed for the next debris island. After a few good jumps Inuyasha finally
reached solid ground and began to pick up speed. The others had already taken to the skies not
being able to stay in themiddle of a surging river with two children and an injured women. Kirara
was going slower than usual because of the added weight but still didn't lag far behind Inuyasha.
Luckily Shippo, Kanna were small and collectively probably didn't weight much more than the
average adult. But the poor cat demon wasn't used to carrying four adults and Sango knew they had
to find a place to rest and fast. Inuyasha was not far off often sneaking a peek skyward to see if all
were alright on the demon neko's back. "Inuyasha we-" yelled Sango. "I know!" Inuyasha yelled
back. He too had noticed that Kirara buckled slightly under the weight and began looking for a place
to rest. The rain was still very much making itself known by not letting up. The wind was howling and
the storms floods were beginning to engulf the remnants of Naraku's fortress. They had to get to
higher ground and soon. Knowing the mountains weren't far off Inuyasha urged them to keep going
and hoped Kirara could hold out. The strong rain were drowning his sense of smell and blurring his
vision. Despite that he could still see the strong determination evident in the neko's eyes as it strived
to not let it's mistress down, he knew Kirara was losing energy. The mountains weren't far off but
the tension was growing. Kagome held on to Inuyasha for dear life, not wanting to view her
surrounding she had buried her face in Inuyasha hair. Just being with Inuyasha was usually comfort
enough but with all the stress of recent days and the anxiety that was swarming in her chest she was
far from comforted. Her body was ridged as the freezing cold rain mixed combined with strong gusts
of air created by Inuyasha pounded her already frail body. Her nerves were out of whack she
thought of how merelyfifteen minutes ago the sun was shining and she was warm in her love's
arms."Just relax" She thought to herself "We are out of there Naraku is dead we are all safe
and Inuyasha is righthere with you" Gripping Inuyasha tighter she relaxed slightly as she tried to
block the though of drowning from her mind. Inuyasha feeling her tense further as her death grip
almost affected his breathing he soothing spoke to her. "Kagome it's alright we're out of there, there
is nothing to be afraid of, we are all ok, please relax I'm right here and I won't ever let anything
happen to you" He finished slightly aggressively but his voice was still calm and soothing. Kagome
had now relaxed a little more and felt the need to look back.Waited until Inuyasha was at the height
of his jump so she could have the best view. She lifted her head from Inuyasha's back and turned to
look at the scene behind her. A gasp escaped her lips as she saw a whirl pool of mud,water and
debris swirling round and round at the place where they stood moments ago. She could see more
and more as they reached greater and greater heights. The entire castle was now completely
obliterated absolutely nothing left but bits of rubble here and there as the currents continued in their
circular motion. "That…that could have been us" Kagome whimpered into Inuyasha's back as they
ascended the first mountain in the set. Kagome once again tensed as tears began to leak from her
eyes. Inuyasha knew they had to stop and soon as the gang was falling apart. Kagome was
extremely shaken and now crying on his back it pained his heart so much when she started to cry.
"Kagome please don't cry, please, don't think about it, it's over now, Naraku is dead and we are all
safe and sound so please, please stop crying." Inuyasha pleaded to the hysterical girl clinging to his
back. Hearing this Kagome tried to get her self under a little control her tears subsided a little and
her death grip loosened. Reaching the top of the mountain Inuyasha strained his eyes and spotted a
small forest, it was small but the trees were close together which would provide some shelter from
the storm which was finally beginning to let up. Signaling to the others that they could stop Inuyasha
landed his last jump and turned to walk into the forest having landed only a few feet from it. Sango
immediately jumped from Kirara's back the second they made contact with the ground and sprinted
toward her hysteric friend. Even though she was still latched tightly on Inuyasha she hugged her well
her back really. "Kagome are you ok? Oh my god for a second there I thought is was going to loose
you" Sango said her voice cracking and a tear sliding down her cheek. Kagome got off Inuyasha's
back and pulled her best friend into a proper but breath constricting hug. "I was so scared" Kagome
said barely audibly as she gripped her friend tight. "It's ok Kagome everything is alright" Sango said
to calm her friend down.Kagome released her and gave her a small fake smile in hopes she wouldn't
worry. Kagome then turned around and flung her self on Inuyasha with all the strength she could
muster. The hanyou barley swayed as the frail girl made contact with his chest. Normally it would
have knocked him flat but she was so exhausted it barley made an impact. Kagome once again burst
into tears as she hugged her savior. "Arigatou Inuyasha that's twice you saved me in one day, what
would I ever do without you?" Inuyasha wrapped his arms around his love hugging her in return.
"What would I do without you is the question you should be asking because my heart was black
before I met you, I trusted no one...You were the one who gave life to my cold heart and if I ever
lost you it would shatter into more pieces that the Shikon no Tama" Inuyasha said as a tear dropped
onto her shoulder. Kagome could feel a wave of fatigue course though her body as she fell back into
Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha lifted the half asleep girl up and headed for the forest the others close
behind. Her last thoughts before falling into a peaceful sleep was of Inuyasha, "Even through
everything I know we will always be together and I am so thankful that I am with him" she
thought as she drifted to sleep.
