Thanks to all my reviewers and readers! Now on with the story…

Kagome sat up in the GoShinboku for a few more hours just reflecting. She then started to climb down. Once she got to the bottom she looked up, closed her eyes and whispered a prayer. "Dear Lord, I pray for: Wisdom to understand a man, love to forgive him, and patience for his moods. Because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll just beat him to death. Amen."

She then walked home feeling much better. When she got there she was surprised that no one seemed to be home. She thought that at the very least Shippo would be pouncing on her as soon as she walked through the door. Shrugging it off she made her way to the kitchen. When she got to the dining room she stopped and gasped.

There stood Inuyasha in a candle lit room. In his hand was a single blooming crimson red rose. He crossed the distance between them and put the rose in her hair, behind her ear. He bowed and offered his arm. "I'm sorry. Will you accept my apology and honor me with you presence at dinner?"

Kagome stood dumbfounded for a few moments trying to process what was happening. Finally she managed to answer. "Um yes. I would love to." She then grasped his arm as he led her to the table. When she sat down he even pushed in her chair for her. "Thanks Inuyasha." He only smiled and sat down next to her. Only then did Kagome get a look of what she was going to eat.

It seemed as though Inuyasha had tried to make Raman. It looked a little sloppy, like he hadn't known what he was doing during some point. There was also bread that looked slightly burnt. She ate some of the noodles and took a bite of the bread. She then looked up at him curiously. "Did you make all of this by yourself?"

Inuyasha squirmed uncomfortably. "The others helped me. Do you like it?"

Kagome just stared at him wide eyed. "No. I love it." She leaned over and hugged him. "You know you didn't have to do all of this."

Inuyasha hugged her back. "I wanted to. I shouldn't have yelled at you. When you're done I want to show you something."

"Why don't you show me now? We can eat later."

Inuyasha stood up and escorted Kagome to the front door. Once there her got in front of her and crotched down. He turned his head slightly and looked at her expectantly. "Get on."

Slightly confused Kagome hesitantly climbed onto his back. After she had positioned herself he ran. Kagome tightened her grip at the sudden burst of speed but soon enough found herself relaxing. Before long she was laughing. Inuyasha found her mood contagious started laughing with her. Within minutes they stood at the base of the GoShinboku Inuyasha slowed down slightly. Then he started leaping from branch to branch until they reached the top.

Now that they were at the top Inuyasha slipped Kagome off his back and positioned her in front of him. He then sat down and placed her in his lap, directing her attention to the setting sun. For the second time she gasped. The sky had reds, yellows, oranges, and purples that just seemed to flow and blend into one another. Together they watched the sunset in a comfortable silence. Soon the bright colors and setting sun where replaced with the rising moon and shining stars. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome and settled his chin upon her head. In turn Kagome snuggled in to his welcomed warmth. Inuyasha's ears picked up a soft melody that Kagome was humming. Shortly after that she started singing softly.

In the starlight, in the starlight
let us wander gay and free
For there's nothing in the daylight
Half so dear to you and me.

Like the fairies in the shadow
Of the woods, we'll steal along
And our sweetest lays we'll warble
For the night was made for song

When none are by to listen
Or to chide us in our glee
In the starlight, in the starlight
Let us wander gay and free

In the starlight, in the starlight
Let us wander, let us wander
In the starlight in the starlight
Let us wander gay and free

Inuyasha felt calm and at peace. He tightened his grip slightly and buried his mose into the crook of Kagome's neck. Losing himself in her scent. In response Kagome reached up and started scratching at one of his ear. Resulting in a happy growl from Inuyasha.

In the starlight, in the starlight
At the daylight's dewy close
When the nightingale is singing
His last love song to the rose

In the calm, clear light of summer
When the breezes softly play
From the glitter of our dwelling
We will gently steal away

Where the silvery waters murmur
By the margin of the sea
In the starlight, in the starlight
We will wander gay and free

In the starlight, in the starlight
We will wander, we will wander
In the starlight in the starlight
We will wander gay and free

Kagome's voice trailed off as she fell into content sleep in the arms of Inuyasha who fell asleep shortly after. There they slept under the winking stars.
