Inuyasha reached over and held Kikyou in his arms. He had never wanted to let her go. He didn't mind staying here like this. Before to long Kikyou was falling asleep in his arms. He looked down and how peaceful she looked. He didn't even want to breathe loudly, in fear that she would wake up.

"I'll never hurt you Kikyou." he whispered.

Inuyasha couldn't even think of a moment where he was this happy. He never knew what love was like until Kikyou. And now that he had it, he didn't want to loose it. Inuyasha wanted to remain with Kikyou, here in the future. Although it was true he didn't belong there. Kikyou made him want to belong somewhere.

He had always been rejected, and hurt. Kikyou never rejected him, and he knew that she wouldn't hurt him. Just as he would never hurt her.

The next morning Kikyou awoke, she was in Inuyasha's arms. She blushed a little, but had to admit it felt good to be in his arms. She almost wished that it could stay like this. She looked up to see that the silver hair was back. He wasn't human anymore, he was just Inuyasha. Her Inuyasha.

His grip around her was both protective and loving. She of course knew that he wouldn't have let anything happen to her. Soon a pair of golden eyes opened and he looked at her.

"Morning."

"How did you sleep?" she asked.

"Alright, what about you?"

She of course was fine, and so was he. Inuyasha helped Kikyou up, and the two stared at each other. Both looked away blushing. Sure they had spent a lot of time together. But sometimes couldn't help that feeling of shyness.

"We should get going."

"Yea." Inuyasha agreed.

So the two of them walked away hand in hand. Kikyou really didn't want to leave. But she had to get ready for work. A part of her dreaded seeing Bankostu. Yesturday he had admitted to her that he loved her. Something she had always known, something everyone knew. And she had never wanted to hurt him.

"What are you thinking about?" Inuyasha questioned.

He noticed how silent she was. Something had clearly been on her mind. Whatever was going on, he wanted to know. Because if he could help her, then he wanted too.

"Just about how much I hurt Bankotsu."

"Kikyou, you can't blame yourself for that. I can't really blame him for wanting to be with you."

She leaned her head on his shoulder, and he put his arm around her. Closing the little space that was between them.

"Yes, but I will always remain with you." she told him.

He stopped and looked at her. Inuyasha was no longer able to control the urge, and leaned over to kiss her. She looked surprised at first, but kissed her boyfriend back. With double the amount of passion. If things continued like this, they might just end up taking that next step. But soon both of them broke away.

"Kikyou, I never want to loose you. Your the best thing that ever happened to me."

She could very well say the same thing about him. Her live changed completely ever since that day at the lab. The first day the meant, a day neither would forget. She never knew what love was, how it felt to want to be with someone so badly.

"You'll never loose me Inuyasha, because your here."

She took his hand and placed it over her heart. She was not afraid to admit that her heart belonged to him. He smiled at her and kissed her again. Knowing that she would always be there, made him feel confident.

"How did I ever get so lucky?" she asked him.

He shook his head. He was the lucky one.

"No, Kikyou I'm the lucky one."

They entered the house. Kikyou wished that she could just stay with him all day. But she had to go to work today. She went upstairs to take a shower, Inuyasha just sat on her bed. A lot of thoughts running threw his head. He laid back on her bed, memories running threw his mind. All he good times they shared. How good it felt just to hear her voice.

Later as Kikyou was about to leave, she hugged him tightly. It was obvious that she had wanted to stay. And in truth he did not want her to go.

"I'd rather stay here with you." she admitted.

"Then don't go."

She had never just ditched work before. Or anything for that matter. Inuyasha picked up the phone and called the head scientist. If Kikyou wanted to stay with him, he wanted to make it possible.

"Yea, Kikyou isn't feeling well. She can't come into work today."

And without waiting for a response Inuyasha hung up the phone. He smiled at Kikyou, and she laid down next to him. Not really surprised with what he did. Besides she was glad to get to spend some time with him.

"Since I'm sick. You're going to have to take care of me."

He brought her closer to him, wrapping his arm around her. Just being with her, right now was enough. To him it was just them two, nothing and no one else seemed to matter. He almost wished that he could freeze this moment.

"Kikyou I'll always be here when you need me."

She reached over and kissed him. He placed his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. All of a sudden Kikyou was feeling better about not going to work. Seeing as how she could just lie in bed with him all day. She couldn't think of a better way to spend the day.

Soon the phone rang again. She pulled away from Inuyasha for a moment. He didn't want her to answer the phone. He rather just continue what they were doing.

"Do you really have to answer it?"

"Yes, it could be important."

She answered the phone, to find that it was Sango.

"Hello."

"Kikyou, its bad. Really bad."

"Sango calm down. What happened?"

Sango took deep breath. And decided to begin again this time slower.

"Bankotsu was in a car accident..."
