Note: I don't have any rights to Inuyasha, it's characters, etc. I just like writing fanfic concerning the characters. Rumiko Takahashi is a great writer/creator. Kudos to her!
Chapter 5 MHYK
I'm so nervous around you. My heart always beats a little faster when I hear your voice. I'm also scared of you, that you'll see how vulnerable I am. I'm afraid that one day...you might break my heart. Do you feel the way I feel for you? Please look at me...really look at me.
Inuyasha to Kagome: Give me your hand.
Kagome is hesitant...
Inuyasha: Shut up and give your hand...
Kagome: You're so rude!
They are holding hands...
Kagome: Let's do something different today...
Inuyasha: What do you want to do?
Kagome: Anything...
Inuyasha: Fine, let's go
He takes her hand and immediately runs off...
Kagome: Where are you taking me?
The two, holding hands, head off to the local park.
In the background, the two could hear the faint sound of the local ice cream truck.
Inuyasha: race ya! Last one there's a rotten egg!
Kagome: I don't want—HEY! ( Inuyasha already ran off) Wait! No fair, you cheated!
The two have reached the ice cream truck. They are so short that the ice cream man has to bend down to take their orders.
Kagome: Sir, may I have the strawberry ice cream cone...and..she turns to look at Inuyasha who is still trying to decide what he wants...
Kagome: You can't take home the whole menu you know...
Inuyasha: Of course I can..I'm a prince...
Kagome: Inuyasha! She gives him the"the" look.
Inuyasha: Fine...I'll have the...
Kagome: Triple chocolate banana split sprinkled with every color of the rainbow?
Inuyasha gives her a smirk.
After they both finish their ice cream, they decide to lie down on a patch of grass situated in the exact middle of the entire park ( their favorite spot)
Kagome: Inuya–
Inuyasha: Shut up.
Kagome: Can we talk about-
Inuyasha: NO!
Kagome sits back up and is in a defensive stance.
Kagome: Why do you always avoid this conversation? I want to know.
Inuyasha: I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Kagome's thoughts: Why is he always avoiding the "Kagome and Inuyasha together or not?" topic...? I want to know...doesn't he? She's becoming angrier by the minute...
Kagome: Fine!
Inuyasha: FINE! ( makes sure that his voice is louder than Kagome's)
Kagome's got a fickle mind: But-
Inuyasha: Stop it! Fine! If you want to talk about it, we'll talk!
He turns his body to face her and cups her face in his hands. He stares at her for a couple of seconds before squishing her cheeks within his hands.
Inuyasha laughs heartily.
Kagome takes one of her hands and smacks Inuyasha's head.
Inuyasha: OW! What'd you do that for!
Kagome: Tag! You're it!
Inuyasha and Kagome proceed in chasing each other around the park.
They are both laughing until Kagome trips. Before she falls, Inuyasha catches her by the waist and turns her body so that he is one taking the fall.
Kagome is on top of Inuyasha and her hands are placed on his chest.
Kagome: Inuyasha! Are you alright?
Inuyasha: I—You're..too heavy...
Kagome smacks his head again: Thank you jerk.
They are fine until Kagome realizes the position that they are in. She blushes.
Kagome's thoughts: His hands...they're on my waist...why does he have to look at me like that? ( BA BUMP) My heart...
Inuyasha clears his throat and gets back up while placing her safely down also.
Inuyasha: Meet me behind the royal library today okay? Right when the sun has set.
Kagome: Don't you have a banquet to attend today? What time is it anyways...she checks her watch...! Inuyasha! Your mother's banquet! You only have 10 minutes before it starts! GO!
Inuyasha: Be there ok?
Kagome: ok.
Inuyasha: ...
Kagome: I promise with all my heart...
Inuyasha gives her a smirk. Before he leaves, he runs past Kagome and smacks her in the head.
Kagome: JERKOFF!
Inuyasha: Nyeh..sticks out his tongue at her...
At Kagome's house:
Kagome is lying down on her bed and looking up at the wall. It will only be an hour more till she has to leave to meet up with Inuyasha.
Kagome: Inuyasha, I've kept it in for the longest time...you might not feel the same, but I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel about you. I'm gonna say the words that will tell you what's exactly in my heart. For you, I'll try. She gets up and walks over to her closet. She knows exactly what to wear. She goes to the back of her closet and pulls out a blue dress. It's the dress that had once belonged to her mother.
Kagome: Mother, I'm going to tell him. Please give me strength, I might not ever get this chance again...(breathe Kagome...breathe...) She gets up and twirls around in a serial of circles. It was now or never.
Kagome has exited the house. She reaches the library exactly at sunset. She looks around...
Kagome's thoughts: Where's Inuyasha? I'm sooo nervous. My heart is beating so fast...
She looks around again. Where is he? He should be here by now..Did I come too early? Too late? What if he came by earlier and I wasn't here? Maybe he already left..I know how impatient he is—
It starts to thunder–Kagome looks up at the sky...
Kagome: What luck----Please don't rain!
It starts to sprinkle.
Kagome: Oh no! Not on mother's dress! She runs over to one the library's arched tops to hide cover from the rain. She leans her back against the wall's cold, cement brick.
This town...so beautiful...
Inuyasha: Kagome!
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: I'm sorry I'm late!
Kagome: It's ok...
Inuyasha: My mom made me stay there until all of the guests left! My old man wasn't even sympathetic about it!
Kagome: It's alright Inuyasha. I wasn't waiting long.
( The rain begins to pour and the both of them are huddling closer to avoid the droplets)
Kagome looks at Inuyasha. Tonight he is more handsome than ever. He is dressed in a tuxedo and his hair is disheveled. She could tell that he was probably running to get here. His cheeks are still red from the running and his breathing...
Kagome's thoughts: Oh no! Stop looking at his lips! STUPID!STUPID!STUPID!
Inuyasha: Here...( Inuyasha has placed his tuxedo jacket over Kagome's shoulders )
You'll catch a cold.
Kagome: Thank you ( blushes)
Inuyasha: You look..nice. ( blushes even redder than Kagome is)
Kagome: Inu–Inuyasha..(breathe) how was the banquet?
Inuyasha: Shut up
Kagome: I was just ask— ( Inuyasha cuts her off)
Inuyasha: Shut up
Kagome is still in a calm tone but her temper is beginning to show: You're so rude!
Inuyasha: You talk too much.
Kagome: Only around you!
Inuyasha: Shut up ( blushes )
Kagome: I try to talk and you never seem to want to listen to me!
Inuyasha: You talk about stupid things!
Kagome: I don't talk always talk about stupid things! Fine! I won't talk anymore then! Kagome's mind: MAN! Why are we always fighting!
Inuyasha: It was fine.
Kagome: you told me to shut up and then you answer my question?
Inuyasha: I didn't feel like answering it before.
Kagome is mad until she remembers what the purpose was upon her coming tonight.
( The rain is pouring harder by the minute )
Kagome's thoughts: Why is this so difficult? I feel like my heart is flying off... ( BA BUMP) I want to tell you that I care about you... ( Blush )
Inuyasha and Kagome in unison: I care about you! Blush!
Kagome: You first...
Inuyasha: Shut up and say it.
Kagome's thoughts: he's so rude...
Kagome: I wanted to tell you that ( BREATHE) ( TAKE A CHANCE) You're the first thing that I think about when I wake up in the morning, and you're the last thing I think about when I close my eyes my eyes at night. Inuyasha, I love you! ( GASP ) ( Kagome is hyperventilating)
He doesn't say anything but takes her hand holds it rather firmly. She turns her head to look at him. His cheeks are extremely red but he's not looking at her. She turns her head away and decides to look down at the ground instead.
SNIFF...he jerks his head immediately and notices that she is softly crying. He knows exactly what she is thinking.
Inuyasha: Kagome, look at me...stop crying...he turns her toward him and wipes away her tears with his shirt sleeve. He pulls her toward him and wraps his arms around her tiny shoulders. He breathes in the sweet scent of her hair...that scent...her touch...
Kagome: ( whispers to Inuyasha ) what happens next?
Inuyasha: Tommorrow's dreams...he kisses her softly on the lips. Wake up Kagome. Wake up...
Kagome wakes up and she realizes that she has been carried off into someone's hut. She sits up and looks around. ( still in a dazed/confused state ) and tries to recollect everything that has just happened.
Kagome: I was...I was going through the forest and...OW? my head..it hurts!...she takes her arms and wraps them securely around her head. Her tears are pouring..her head is beginning to swell...the memories..the shattered pieces..they are all coming back to her..faster...faster...faster...INUYASHA!
