And she's back! If you haven't read my profile, I suggest you do. I'll be updating it regularly(ish….), and I might put important stuff in there. Maybe not! Like today, I say the second Inuyasha movie. So amazed. Great animation. I applaud. But you're not hear for movie reviews. You're here for the fan fiction. So fan fiction, you shall receive! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Inuyasha groaned, sitting up in his brand spankin' new personally shaped hole, and sighed. He wasn't sure if he dared get out, though he knew that Kagome was gone. Her scent, though still lingering, wasn't nearly as strong as it usually was. Inuyasha leaned up against a muddy wall and sighed, closing his eyes to think. The image of Kagome's diary flashed into his head as he slowly read over that page.

"I think Inuyasha's the only one that keeps me coming back. I love Sango, Miroku, and Shippo in a way, but It's Inuyasha whom I really, truly love with everything, and I will always love him." Inuyasha unknowingly mumbled aloud, and Sango stood above him, in disbelief.

"So you know she loves you, but you're not doing anything?" She hissed angrily, kicking his head. Inuyasha groaned, grabbing his head, then looked up at Sango, growling angrily. He was in a personal hell. Even when Kagome accidentally said "sit", it hurt, so when she was as angry as she had been, it hurt terribly.

"Since when have you been here, slayer?" Inuyasha groaned out, massaging the soft area between his ears.

"Long enough to hear you recite her diary, which I still can't believe you stole. Inuyasha, did you know what a diary even is?" Sango asked angrily, sitting down, swinging her legs over the some five foot deep crater.

"Yeah, well, now I do. It's where girls write their intimate thoughts, and boys steal that to find out how they really feel." He said, and Sango kicked him again.

"Not at all." She bit out as Inuyasha growled as warning. "You're not ever even supposed to imagine about touching a girl's diary, even with her permission. And secondly, Inuyasha, if you read it all, I'm sure there was something about how she was going to go to the future and stay there when we're done. I can't afford to lose her Inuyasha, that's all I'll say." She said, rather harshly, accidentally bumping Inuyasha on her way towards Kaede's hut, again, as Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'She wouldn't really leave…would she?' Inuyasha asked as he winced, Sango's scent rushing back at him.

"Well, you're going to at least go and talk to her, aren't you?" She hissed from a slight distance, her liquid glare casting upon Inuyasha, letting him know that he was to go and talk to Kagome, and he was to do it now.

"Yeah…" He said quietly, walking in the direction of the well, sighing deeply.

The sapphire vortex greeted him with a comforting softness, and Inuyasha used this time to think. He sighed, jumping himself out of the well and into the future, as he winced. Something was burning, but the awfully potent stench of smoke was mixed…with Kagome's tears?

The girl had awaken quite some time ago, still laying in her bed. She had laid a brutal assault on the snooze button of her alarm clock twice, and now was finally "awake" if it were even to be called that. Kagome sighed, rolling over under her covers, her stomach now against the bed, her head turned to face the general direction of the window, which was draped with a blanket from under her bed. The sun always decided to shine extra bright when she wanted to sleep, didn't it?

Why was life so unfair? Kagome was now crying softly, not even noticing it at all, just thinking. First of all, the man she loved had stuck her. Kagome's small hand slowly made its way from her stomach up to her cheek, wincing at the now scabbed over scratches. They seemed to be healing well, but there would defiantly be scars, Kagome already knew this.

She continued into her thoughts. Her friends had (while she was gone, of course) volunteered her with a date with Houjo. While she hadn't known Inuyasha, she would have been THRILLED to take the date, but Houjo…was just…a mere fly in comparison. Kagome sighed again, knowing that Inuyasha might not come back and drag her off to the Feudal Era to save her, this time. Kagome mentally slapped herself, wondering why she had even thought that. Because you sat him about a hundred times! Kagome sighed, downheartedly, now sobbing and noticing. She didn't try to stop herself, just cuddled into her pillow and blanket.

Unable to take any more, Inuyasha jumped up onto the small room "extension" from Kagome's room, pushing the cracked window open slowly. "Kagome?" He whispered lightly, peeking his head into the room. Kagome's soft gasp, though he couldn't tell how, sounded a lot more feminine and delicate to his sensitive dog ears.

"Inuyasha.." She whispered softly, wiping her eyes of the tears, curling up in the blanket even more. Those beautiful golden eyes poured down onto her, making her, though unbeknownst to her, blush outrageously. "What're you doing here?" Kagome asked, softly, sitting up as she pulled the blankets along with her. She felt safe, felt secure, with those blankets surrounding her, and for no good reason. They were mere blankets, thin pieces of cloth. They couldn't protect her from anything..accept for a late night's chill.

"Kagome.. I'm sorry I took that book..thing. Really, I am." Inuyasha said, wincing at the anger in his tone. He really hadn't meant it that way.. The hanyou's eyes were drawn to the deep brown ones focused on him, and him alone in a sorrowful yet loving gaze. She simply scooted against the wall, patting the bed beside her softly, as Inuyasha followed like an obedient puppy. What else could he have done? The urge to be near Kagome was almost too much, and he could tell that she was in pain. "Kagome, you havn't been crying over the book, have you?" Inuyasha asked, knowing the answer, but not wanting to jump to conclusions. Hell, at the moment, the boy was praying that his assumption was wrong.

As he slowly settled on top of the blankets, he sighed as Kagome's head automatically rested at his shoulder. Inuyasha's chest sunk softly with a deep exhale, and he rested his head, though barely putting any weight on it, on Kagome's head, hoping to calm her, to comfort her. Inuyasha couldn't stand to see Kagome so miserable, so sad, and he knew that she would want to talk about what had happened to her. He really didn't want to hear anything about it, but if it made Kagome feel better.. anything for Kagome.

"Who all knows?" Kagome asked quietly, finally looking up at Inuyasha, who seemed at perfect peace. He sighed, looking down upon the girl, wrapping a hand softly around her waist.

"Miroku, Sango, Kaede..and of course me. No one else knows." He whispered quietly, burying his face into her hair, softly. Maybe, Inuyasha thought, if I act cute, she won't be mad. Inuyasha, however, no matter how much he tried to fool himself, was not being cute. He wanted to mark Kagome as his right that second, and the resistance he was holding over himself was unbelievable. Kagome's smile was very hard to miss, as she tangled her hand softly in the very bottom of Inuyasha's silver hair. Kagome sighed, inhaling deeply, signaling to Inuyasha that she would probably be crying at the end of what she had to say.

"I just..wish this hadn't happened. Any of it. Not me traveling back in time through the well, not you and I meeting, not me falling…" Kagome blinked, gulping deeply. "I just wish that somehow I could have avoided all of this. I've got people in a world of hurt while I just sit here, in your arms." Kagome spilled, and Inuyasha who wanted to make the statement true, wrapped his other arm around Kagome tightly, still seeming amazed at her neck, nuzzling it and smelling it through her hair. "I wish I had never gone down that ally, never gotten so accustomed to it..never…gotten raped." Kagome said quietly, tears streaming down her face, her voice squeaky. Inuyasha had stopped the new obsession with her neck to stare down at Kagome, occasionally wiping a tear away with a single clawed finger. Finally, courage surfaced.

"Kagome, this is what fate had planned for you. You've got people back there that love you, people here that love you, and someone.." Inuyasha gulped, "that loves you more than anything in the world. Now just get some rest, 'k?" Inuyasha finished himself rather forcefully as the girl below him just stared. The silver haired demon smirked a fanged smile down at the girl, sliding himself slowly under the covers, feeling his kimono snag on Kagome's silk pajama pants and tee-shirt more than once.

"Inuyasha, did you jus-" Kagome started, but Inuyasha shook his head, covering her mouth softly.

"Sleep, wench." Inuyasha said, teasingly, pulling softly on her long raven locks. Kagome nodded almost absently, closing her eyes and falling easily to sleep. She didn't know why, but was still extremely exhausted. Inuyasha lay in bed next to his favorite girl, smiling down at her, watching her every move. Soon, the sun's light stopped filling the room, and Inuyasha groaned. Well, I guess there'll be no marking her tonight. He thought rather angrily, sniffing the air. Can't even smell right. Better get a good smell to end my hanyou time.. Inuyasha smirked, laying his head next to Kagome's, their faces barely inches apart, as he pulled her, by the small of her back, towards him so that their bodies were touching. Inuyasha's eyes drifted down into a hazy rest just as the sun set…

And it's ovah with. I forced myself to finish it, but I'm rather proud. Not enough fluff, you say? Oh, you just wait to see what I have planned for you. In the original, poo-ey draft, Inuyasha and Kagome kissed. :Is chased by angry mob: DON'T KILL ME! THEN YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS:Runs away:

Ah, yesh. A special thanks to all the reviewers. I love you all in your own special way…sorta. But..yeah. So I post this? I guess so…I might post it early today, I might post it after I get up. It's 2:45, here, people, and I was up at about 7:00. It was a Saturday. Gimme a break! I guess that's what I get for being in dance, though…
