Disclaimer: I own nothing!

Chapter 7:

Kagura shifted. She didn't want to shift. She didn't order her body to shift . . . so why was she shifting? Why? Wasn't she supposed to be dead? Kagura was so sure that Naraku had given her heart back.

My heart . . . Kagura concentrated and then gasped. She could actually feel her emotions. It was strange. Suddenly a light feeling made it's way into her heart. That wasn't right, she didn't feel this way before in her entire life. It scared her, she wasn't supposed to feel these things. She wasn't supposed to have emotions. Having emotions was like . . . wearing the dead mikos garbs.

This light-hearted feeling scared Kagura so much . . . but she welcomed it. The light-hearted feeling only grew when she realized that she was finally free! She could do anything she wanted to . . . heck she even wanted to . . . why did she shift again!

Kagura sprang up from the resting mat she was on and glared about the room with a lopsided smile on her face. Her glare finally settled on a plant.

She strode up to the plant and whacked it on the stem. "So it was you! Stop shifting me! I want to sleep. In fact, I think I LOVE sleeping! Heck yeah! I want to sleep all day all the time! Do you wish to know why, little insignficant plant? I have my heart back-"

"Kagura . . ."

Kagura whipped her head around to see her sister Kanna. A huge light feeling made its way throughout her entire body as she ran to her sister and picked her up, swinging her around childishly.

"Kagura . . . I think . . . you should . . . rest a bit more."

Kagura's feelings plummeted, "Why? I am scaring you Kanna?"

Kanna stared at her sister for a moment. "I . . . don't think that . . . you control . . . your feelings . . . well enough."

"Hey you little brat, is the stupid witch awake yet?" the strong, arrogant voice filled the room, until Inuyasha himself entered the room. "Oh . . . I guess you are. ACK!"

Inuyasha was cut off Kagura pounced on him. She didn't know why she did . . . she just felt like it.

"Hello Inuyasha."

"Get off of me you stupid woman! I said off! GET OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW BEFORE I CUT YOUR FREAKIN' HEAD OFF WITH TETSAIGA!"

Kagura abruptly let go and then she felt salty tears course down her cheeks as that empty feeling overcame her. She didn't know why she was crying, she just felt it was the right thing to do.

"Why do you hate me?" Kagura was bawling like a young child.

Inuyasha scratched the back of his head. "I ……….. um ………….. no?"

Kagura abruptly stopped crying. Then she leapt on him and her lips collided with his.

"Inuyasha! Wake up!"

"Huh!" Inuyasha sat up quickly and looked around him. It was still nightfall, and Kanna was still sleeping by her sister, who in turn was still unconscious and breathing shallowly. (A/N: Yup, the psychotic Kagura was just a dream!

Slowly he got up and scanned the area. Eventually his gaze landed on someone . . . a someone who had a purple flower in her bright orange hair. "Ayame? What the heck are you doing here? Shouldn't you be chasing Kouga or something?"

Ayame tilted her head, "I don't know. It kinda looked like Kagura needed some help. But, since you don't want it," she turned away to leave, and smirked when she felt a hand grab her elbow.

"Help. Her. Now."

Ayame went over to the wounded Wind Demoness and started to examine her. The woman was damaged so horribly . . . signs indicated that she was being beaten upon before the battle that her wolf had seen had even started. So, Kagura really was fighting while injured . . . that was never a good thing. She whistled softly and her wolf came toward her. The wolf handed Ayame a stone that was shaped like a rainbow, but shined like the moon. Gently, she pushed the stone into Kagura's chest and all of her wounds healed instantly.

"I'll be going now . . . just don't let Kouga sniff you." With that, Ayame left as quickly as she had come.

Inuyasha just stared at Kagura for a moment. Why did Ayame have to wake him up to ask permission to heal somebody who obviously needed to be attended to? What was up with his dream? Why was Kagura acting so weird.

I guess that my subconscious is trying to tell me something. He then hit himself on the head for being so dense. Of course! He needed to be prepared for when Kagura woke up. She would be feeling all sorts of emotions at once, and she wasn't used to feeling such things. In fact, Kagura might just go insane when she woke up. Nobody could be so sure.

Inuyasha sighed. This was too troublesome.

He heard a moan and his head snapped into that direction. To his great surprise, Kagura seemed to be waking up. He watched silently as she sat up and looked around. She looked left, right, and finally down. Then she immediately gave her sister a bear hug.

"Kanna." Kagura set her sister down and stood. She pulled out her fan and tapped her chin. She turned and saw Inuyasha. Her fan dropped to the ground. "Inuyasha."

"Finally awake woman?" She continued to stare at him, "What are you looking at?"

Kagura picked up her fan and started tapping her chin again. "I'm trying to figure out if I really love you."

Inuyasha blinked stupidly.

"I love you Inuyasha."

Inuyasha pinched himself. It didn't hurt, but he could feel it all the same. He wasn't dreaming.

Kagura hung her head dejectedly, "You hate me Inuyasha."

"No." He stepped toward her and kissed her cheek. He smirked when Kagura dropped her fan again. "I actually think I like you too. But . . . let's just wait until your feelings are sorted out more.

Kagura stared at him. She knew that the emotion she had been missing toward Inuyasha was love. Now that she could feel, she knew she was in love with him. He just couldn't see that. He couldn't comprehend the complexities of her emotions. But, she could wait. "I love you Inuyasha, but I can wait if you're too shy."

Inuyasha immediately was in her face, "Who said I'm shy?" He gripped her chin and kissed her full on the lips. (A/N: Don't expect more than this! This fic is rated PG!) He pulled back slowly, "There! I love you! Are you happy?"

" . . ."

"Kagura?"

" . . . How does happy feel?"

He pondered this for a moment, then he just gave her a hug. "How are you feeling now?"

Kagura leaned into his hold on pure instinct. "I feel . . . happy?"

"Yes."

Kagura stared up at him, "Will I always feel this way?"

Inuyasha smirked at her. "From now on, you will."

Some people say that love isn't real. Some people say that love is a once in a lifetime experience. Some people say that enemies can't love. Some people say that love overcomes all.

Whoever says these things are all gravely mistaken. Love isn't the same for everyone. Love feels different for each experience. Love can be an addiction, an obsession, trust, friendship, maternal, or the love a man and woman share.

For Inuyasha and Kagura, it would always be different. Their love is for them and them alone. Nobody can call them anything else, but two people in love.

The End

I'm sorry that this was such a crappy ending. I'm not good with beginning or end. Only the middle. Goodbye whoever is still reading this fic. Please review, to give me some advice. Please don't' flame me though, but you can if you want. Nothing I can do to stop you.
