2. The Truth Is Finally Revealed

Inuyasha was finally able to get up. "Maybe I should go out and drag Kagome in the forest with me and tell her I love her. Is that what she was trying to tell me? O my god! Kagome loves me as I love her!" he thought to himself questionably. "What should I do now…" He said hopelessly.

Back With Kagome and Shippo

"Kagome?" Shippo said.

Kagome stopped walking and looked at him. "Yeah Shippo." She said back.

"Well, I was wondering… why were you so mad at Inuyasha? He always does that to me but you never give him that look." Shippo said in a little voice afraid the reincarnation of the priestess would hit him as Inuyasha does.

There was a pause and Kagome said, "Well, I like Inuyasha. You wouldn't understand. You will when you are older though." She sighed and kept walking.

With Inuyasha

Inuyasha walked out of the hut and over to when Miroku and Songo were sitting. "So, what exactly did you do back there Inuyasha?" Miroku said in a perverted voice. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain and was unconscious.

"You are such a pervert! GRR!" Songo said with an angry look on her face. She turned to Inuyasha and said, "So, did she tell you?"

"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha said knowing what she meant but knowing she'll tell Kagome to tell him herself.

Songo looked angrily away from Inuyasha and said to herself hoping Inuyasha didn't hear, "Why didn't you tell him Kagome?" Inuyasha head it because of his hearing of course.

"What was that supposed to mean, does Songo know? Should I ask her? Why is this so complicated! Maybe I should just go get Kagome and tell her. Yeah, that is what I will do." He seemed happy with his decision and went off to find the woman he loved and the little fox demon that she was playing with.

Inuyasha finally found Kagome and Shippo at the God Tree. He said, "Come on Kagome I want to talk to you for a moment. Please."

Kagome looked frazzled. Inuyasha was never polite and he had never said please before so she nodded and told Shippo to go back to the village. When they were in the tree, she said, "What do you want?" She wasn't looking directly at Inuyasha at the time and was deep in thought.

Inuyasha took a deep breath and turned Kagome facing him. He looked into her eyes and said, "Kagome, I-I… I love you." He looked away and she had the most awestruck look on her face. He said, still looking away from her, "I love you Kagome but it took me this long to realize it."

"Inuyasha… I don't know what to say. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to say that." Kagome said back to him still shocked.

"Well, for the first part, you can say you love me too."

"I love you Inuyasha." Kagome hugged him and they both fell out of the tree. Kagome landed on top of Inuyasha and she giggled. He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers. She blushed and kissed him. They parted and got up. Kagome and Inuyasha walked back to the village with their hands holding one another.

Back At The Village

Shippo had arrived a little while ago and was being questioned by Songo and Miroku about where Inuyasha and Kagome were. Shippo said, "They are just talking in the forest. I don't know what about though." Shippo walked into the hut where Kilala was and sat down petting her.

"I wonder if they are really just talking, out there, in the forest, all alo─" Miroku's sentence was cut short by a wack in the head. Songo sweat dropped and wacked him in the head again. "What was that for Dear Songo? That hurt very much."

"You pervert! Whatever they are doing is none of your business and you shouldn't even be thinking about that! Oh my god! When will you learn to stay out of other people's business!" she angrier than ever. Just then, Kagome and Inuyasha walked into the village, still holding hands. Songo said, "Welcome back, this perverted monk here was wondering what exactly you were doing in the forest, all alone…" she quoted the monk just so Inuyasha would beat him to a pulp.

Inuyasha screamed, "Miroku! Get back here!" The frightened monk was already holding his head. It was no use; Miroku had no chance of out running Inuyasha and was beat to the ground. This whole time, Inuyasha had an evil grin on his face as if waiting for Miroku to mess up.

Songo whispered to Kagome, "So, what did he say? What did you say?"

"He said, he said he, he loves me. And I love him." Kagome said with a excited yet embarrassed look on her face. Inuyasha must have heard it with his ultra-sensitive dog hearing because he stopped punching Miroku and looked at Kagome. He was blushing so he got up and walked over to Kagome and held her hand. He kissed he lightly on her head.

"Awe, that's so adorable, when is the wedding?" Miroku said mockingly still not being able to think fully from all of the knocks in the head he got. Inuyasha growled and he ran away hoping not to get anymore hurt than already.

Songo watched the monk run and turned back to Kagome and Inuyasha. "I am very happy for the two of you." She said in an excited voice.

"Me too" Inuyasha said in a soft voice. Little did they all know that the Priestess Kikyou was watching the whole thing.

"You will pay for breaking my heart Inuyasha. You will go to Hell with me whether you like it or not." She walked away into the darkness.
