Chapter 5 (This is going kind of slow, but bare with me!)

The hanyou known as Inuyasha sat in the Goshinboku for hours. Trying to understand the women he loved.

What was bothering her? And why hadn't she told him about it?

He decided the only way to get the answer to these questions, was to ask her himself.

And with that thought, he instantly, jumped through the air, and landed in the well, that would take him five hundred years into the future.

Kagome suddenly saw a red and silver blur streak through her room. And her first thought was. 'that'll teach him!' and her second thought was. 'Oh shit!' as she ran after him.

She found Inuyasha standing at the bottom of the stairs, he punched Mr.Higurashi in the face, before gripping him around the neck, and shaking him violently, his eye flickering between gold, and red. All the while screaming, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

She ran down the stairs, and grabbed his wrist. "Inuyasha! He's just a human! Let. him. go.!" She said the last part through clenched teeth. He seemed to calm at the Miko's touch, but his hands didn't leave her fathers neck.

"Please, don't kill him" She pleaded. He looked at her, and then released him, looking as though it was against his better judgment.

"If you ever touch her again, she won't be able to stop me" He warned. Before grabbing her arm and hissing. "I need to talk to you!" and then dragging her towards the kitchen. As they passed through, to get to the outside door, Mrs.Higurashi didn't comment.

"Inuyasha! Let go of me!" She said, as soon as they were out of hearing range of the kitchen, and she tried to wrench her arm out of his grasp.

"Who the hell was that guy?" He asked, as he released her. Only to see her collapse on the ground in front of the Goshinboku. "Did he hurt you?"

She looked up at him through the tears she was trying as hard as she could to repress, the last statement had been said with so much caring, even Inuyasha couldn't have faked it. And that, above all else, possessed her to tell him the truth.

She rubbed her cheek, which was still red from where she had been struck. He came and sat next to her, and tenderly, gently, he rubbed at it. The heat off his hands made her shiver.

"Was this the first time?" He asked, Kagome was inwardly, astounded, that he wasn't yelling.

She just stared at the ground in front of her. "I'll take that as a no,"

"Who is he?"

She wouldn't look at him. And it was starting to annoy the hanyou. He grabbed her chin, and turned her face so it was facing his. then he repeated. "Who is he?"

She bit her lip, she looked up, down, every where but at Inuyasha. When she started trying to free herself from his grasp, he growled, which goaded her into a response.

"My Father" She said, then instantly started looking at the ground again. Inuyasha's nose was full of the scent of her tears.

"Your Father? But..." Kagome looked at him curiously, but he changed his mind, and said instead. "Where else are you hurt?"

She started rubbing her left forearm, so Inuyasha gently grabbed it, and pushed up the long sleeve of her school uniform, to reveal an ugly, hand shaped, bruise.

"How much did you see?" She asked suddenly. Surprising her companion.

Inuyasha growled. "He had just stopped strangling you by the looks of it when I got here, and then to the end." She winced. As he looked toward the shrine, growling at what the bastard had indicated would happen that night. Over his dead body!

"Why do you care?"

Inuyasha head snapped back to lock eye with the girl sitting next to him. She'd asked him that question so many times. and he'd alluded it, but maybe, now wasn't the time to do that.

"W-wh-why?" He stuttered. Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"This doesn't change my ability to track down jewel shards. It doesn't affect how I act with the group, or anything about my life there. Except for some dreams you probably already know about-" Inuyasha blushed at the reminder of what he had been doing for Kagome for the past two weeks. "- nothing changes. He's not going to kill me. So, why do you care?"

Inuyasha looked at her dumbstruck. He wanted to tell her, but what would she say? "Because, because I-"

"Why!" She asked again forcefully.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! ALRIGHT!" He screamed. Kagome's eye resembled saucers when he looked her direction. And he was about to jump into the Goshinboku, when suddenly, a warm hand grabbed his chin, turning his head in the opposite direction, and a pair of lips were on his.

He instantly responded, by sliding his arms around her waist. this was absolute heaven! He was kissing Kagome!

They finally broke away, both gasping for air, and she leaned her forehead against his. He still had his eye closed.

"What...exactly...does that...mean...exactly?" Inuyasha sputtered stupidly. Kagome giggled.

"That means...I love you too"

He captured her lips again. And they kissed for a few minutes, before she suddenly felt Inuyasha stiffen in her arms. She broke away from him to see his ears twitching, before he suddenly bounded off for the shrine.

'That Bastard!'
