"Inuyasha."
"W-what!" He said nervously. Kagome just stared at him.
"Nothing." Inuyasha just stared at her.
Then Kagome got all cuddled up in her blanket as Inuyasha sat by the fire.
"Neh Inuyasha..."
"Hrm?"
"Why did you bring me back to life. I mean, instead of Kikyou?" She asked quietely.
Inuyasha threw a log into the fire.
"I couldn't live like that..." He said after awhile.
Kagome just looked up at him.
"Live like that?" she repeated questioningly.
"I don't think I could go on- knowing I could have saved you- and cacing your family- and especially after you-" he faulttered.
'I'v always loved you.' rang through his head again. He kept his back to her.
"Oh...so yyou brought me back only because you felt guilty?"
He pricked his ears.
"It's not like that-!" Why was she sounding so sad...He had rescued her!
He thought hard for a moment, she wanted to know if he cared about her like that.
"Kagome." He was fighting with himself over what he should say.
"What I meant when I said I couldn't live like that was, I couldn't live without you."
"Inuyasha! I- Couldn't either." Her eyes shimmered.
"Aisheteru, Kagome." Inuyasha said quietly.
Kagome sat there with her eyes wide, he said it!
She could ont believe her ears! He had said it!
"Inuyasha- aishiteru."
Inuyasha wanted to see her face, but he was blushing to much, and he didn't want to look like a loser in front of her, so he just hopped into a tree and leaned back in it smiling slightly.
"Thank you Kagome."
But that night, he couldn't let himeself relax to sleep.
His instincts were telling him that something was coming.
It wasn't here yet- but on it's way.
And so, when he finally did fall asleep, all his sences were on guard, watching over Kagome.
Kagome awaoke with her stomach growling that morning.
"Hm?" she blinked the sleep out of her eyes, and yawned.
Kagome remembered what Inuyasha said just the day, or night, before.
She felt so happy! Kagome looked up into the trees for Inuyasha, but she couldn't find him.
"Inuyasha?" she said aloud. "Hm." she looked around camp for him, but he seemed like he was gone.
'I wonder where he's gone off to...?'
She looked up at the sky, the leaves of the trees were still wet from dew- meaning it was really early still.
Kagome sat there wrestless and bored.
"I know!" she perked up. "I'll surprise him by making breakfast!" She paused. He usually did not like the things she cooked anyways...oh well! She'd try it again.
