Wait For Me?

Sango1on1: Hello-dillo! Wuzz'up? OMG! ITS I AM! I O I I SUTE! SETSUNA A DEMO! HEADBANGS LA IMA!

Sorry about that! I wuv the reviewers…hopefully there are some…I haven't even posted…oookkkkk… Oh look! Seven pages already! WHOO-HOO! HAPPY SUMMER FOR ME!

R&RNF!

They had found a nice relaxing meadow by Keade's hut. It had various natural activities to do also, like, play by the pond which Shippo was doing, pick cherry's like Sango, eat apples like Miroku, relax in a tree as Inu-Yasha did, and just wonder around like Kagome. Everyone could enjoy the rest of the day in peace, and enjoy their mini sanctuary. There was too much happiness, too much joy, too much relief, and too much silence all in the same moments.

Kagome joined the shards together hesitantly, almost creating the Shinkon No Tama (two more from Koga to go), which so many youkai desired. 'Youkai…' She remembered.

'I wonder if Inu-Yasha still wants to become full fledge youkai…' She smiled when she saw Sango offer some cherries to Miroku, blushing like a cherry herself. He nodded and offered her an apple, blushing too, and she nodded as they both ate their fresh food together.

'Maybe they'll work out their relationship.' She thought. (SPOILER:) 'Miroku already asked Sango to marry him…'

She saw Shippo, trying to catch a fish in the pond. Once he did, he let it go and tried again.

'Shippo's probably happy too. Without all this stress, he can work on actually acting like a kid.'

She looked over the treetops, spotting Inu-Yasha on the highest one. He caught her staring and scoffed blushing.

'He'll probably turn full youkai once I give him the jewel…he'll be happy…though Koga wont be once I ask him for his two shards' She smiled, a sad one.

"My friends will be happy, but where does that leave me?

"Im being selfish…as long as they're happy, does it really matter?" She smiled again and continued to enjoy the breeze. She felt someone touch her shoulder.

"Koga?"

"Yo Kagome. Whats going on? Haven't seen you lately." Koga asked. Kagome nodded sadly.

"Whats bothering you?"

"Koga-kun…I…may I please have your two jewel shards?" She asked. Koga's eyes hardened.

"Why would you need them?"

"I…there are only two more shards until the Shinkon No Tama is completed."

'Please say no, allow me to stay in this era a little bit longer please…'

"I guess…now that Naraku's dead I don't really need them."

Kagome put on a weak smile.

"Thank you so much Koga-kun."

He handed her the shards. Kagome felt tears stinging her eyes, but they didn't show because a bright pink light illuminated the area when she made the whole Shinkon No Tama.

"I…probably wont see you again…hu? If dogbreath is gonna become full youkai and basically abandon you guys, and you still have your family to go to then I bet you'll go back…" Koga said. Kagome nodded.

"Sayonara Kagome," He said leaning in to kiss her…on the cheek. She smiled and did the same to him.

"You've always been there Koga. Domo arigato."

Koga smile and ran off, at average speed, to his wolf clan.

Inu-Yasha was grumbling while they were building a fire.

"Can't believe you kissed him back." He mumbled to Kagome.

"All the things you could've done. Hugged him back, maybe even a handshake you choose to kiss him on the cheek."

He had been rambling on about this for about and hour. Kagome was getting angrier by the second.

"He was saying goodbye! Forever! I thought I could at least give him a small kiss on the cheek!" Kagome spat. Inu-Yasha put on a happy face.

"Where's he going?" He asked smiling like crazy. Kagome's mouth fell open and she got up and walked away into the forest.

"Wait! Come with me to the hot springs! I already have your stuff." Sango said. Kagome nodded, and they walked together to the hot springs nearby.

"I don't see why she's so P.O." Inu-Yasha said, sitting by the fire.

"Poor, poor naïve boy…" Miroku said. Inu-Yasha growled and ran off to situate this problem by himself in a tree.

He had found a nice tree at that too. A high one, a little shorter then the God Tree.

'Kagome, I knew what you meant when you said Koga was saying goodbye…truth is, I don't want you to go anywhere. Truth is, I love you. But I can't forget about Kikyo. I love her too…right? But she's dead so why can't I go on? Would I be betraying her even in death if I went with you Kagome? I keep comparing you to Kikyo when truth has it I know you are different.

Kikyo was graceful and strong. She could watch out for her self and had great fighting skills. Yet she was majestic, like a perfect angel. A tint of sadness in her angelic eyes, a sad perfect maiden. Or is that what comes to being keeper of the Shinkon No Tama?

Kagome, you're a clumsy mess. You trip over air! But instead of being embarrassed or ashamed, you get right back up and continue what your doing with a smile on your face. You're so forgiving and kind. You'll do anything for another person, but hardly anything for yourself. You're beautiful, and yet when I call you ugly or say Kikyo was cuter, you don't object. I love being with you, you make me happy. When you leave for home, I sit and wait for you to come back always wishing I could have the guts to ask to go with you. When I use to go and get you to bring you back so that we could hunt for jewel shards, I was really bringing you back to me. You stayed by my side always. Even when I hurt you, or made you cry. I hated smelling those tears run down your face. I wished to wipe them away and I cursed whatever horrible untrue words I had said to you. Kagome, I love you.

I love you so much it hurts. Why can't I say that out loud to you? Why must I keep it bound inside me, never willing to let one word of it out? Is it because I know Kikyo would be torn in two if she were alive? Or is it my pride? I think im afraid you wont say you love me back.

Rejection is one of my many hidden fears. My number one fear is you leaving me Kagome…leaving and never coming back…Kikyo im sorry…Kagome Im sorry…I've hurt you both by not choosing. I'll choose soon…Kagome I'll choose don't leave me…Kikyo don't worry…wait for me?'
