I'm Still Here Chapter 7: Do I Love You?
Disclaimer:I don't own Inu-Yasha
"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome said as her wedding dress fell to the ground.
He turned around his eyes fell to the wedding dress on the ground and then up to meet Kagome's eyes. He had no expresion at all he just stared. Kagome took a step forward,"Inu-Yasha? What are you doing here?"she aked taking another step.
Just when Kagome was going to reach out and hug him, he jumped up and disappered into the shadows. "No," Kagome whispered,"Come back!"
"I told you it was him Kagome." Kagome looked down to see Sota.
"Sota what?How did he-"
"Kagome you need to calm down."
"I am calm." she said she wasn't yelling infact she was hardly talking.
"Your crying. Maybe you should come lay down?"Sota said with a look of worry on his face.
Kagome felt her face, she was crying. But why? "Not until you tell me how you knew Inu-Yasha was here!"
Sota sighed he knew he couldn't help his sister if he didn't tell her. "He's been coming to talk to me for the past 3 days and-"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kagome was shocked how could Sota not tell her!
"He didn't want you to know. He's been watching you when you leave the house. He asked me what you were doing when you went out and I told him about the wedding. I'm worried about him Kagome the look on his face when I told him was...was awful."
Kagome was now kneeling on the ground. She was mad at him for following her around. But she was glad he still cared about her. "Sota why was he here in the first place?"
"He said he wanted to take you back to his time. I'm sorry Kagome I'm sorry I didn't tell you!" Sota said kneeling down by Kagome.
It was to much, there was to much to take in and Kagome's vision went black again.
Kagome awoke to the sound of birds.She opened her eyes and saw she was in her room. She saw her wedding dress hanging on her closet door and the box with the pearls from Hojo sitting on her desk. Then memories of the night before came flooding in.
"Hello Kagome! Good to see your awake!" her mother said while giving Kagome a tray of breakfast foods.
"What happened?" the last thing she remembered was Sota kneeling down beside her.
"You passed out. Thankfully Sota caught you and brought you into the house. You have been asleep for three days!Are you feeling alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Three days! Three days! The wedding is only two days away, but i have so much to do and-"
"It's alright Kagome everything has been taken care of. You just eat up and we'll talk later,okay?"
Kagome nodded and began to eat as her mother left the room. When she was finished she took a shower and got dressed. The whole time all she could think about was Inu-Yasha. What was she going to do she knew that deep in her heart she still had feelings for Inu-Yasha no matter how much she told herself she only loved Hojo. Hojo. How did she really feel about him?Did she love him or was she lieing to herself? No she couldn't think that way. She did love Hojo and she wanted to marry him. If she ran into Inu-Yasha again she would tell him that.
"Kagome! Hojo is here!" her mother shouted from downstairs.
Kagome ran down the stairs and jumped into Hojo's arms.
"Glad to see your feeling better.I brought you some flowers." Hojo said happily as he gave Kagome a bunch of tulips.
"Thank you,"Kagome said,"But what about the wedding?"
"Don't worry Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi helped me with the final preperations. So all that is left is to get married!"Hojo said happily putting on his award winning smile.
"Good. I hope it wasn't too much work." Kagome laughed.
"Not at all. Want to go for a walk?" Hojo asked.
"Sure."
They walked around for a few hours talking about their honeymoon plans. They were going to go to a resort in the mountains for a week. After they went to have lunch and then walked back to Kagome's house.
"Well I promised the guys I'd go and see them today so I've got to get going. I love you Kagome."Hojo said and kissed her.
"Bye Hojo."Kagome replied and watched him drive off.
She walked up the stairs and toward the house. There was a note on the door it said: Dear Kagome, Me and your Grandpa have gone to Sota's school. I have no idea what is going on or when we will be back if you are hungry there is soup in the fridge. Love,Mum.
As soon as she finished reading it she heard the sound of a twig breaking by the tree in the corner.
"Hello? Is someone there?"Kagome asked walking up to the tree.
When she was about 2 feet away Inu-Yasha stepped out from the darkness. What was she going to do know? She told herself to tell him that she loved Hojo but that was easier to think about then do. Her thoughts were cut of as she was pulled into a hug. It felt good to be in his arms again. For a few moments she was at peace but then she realized wht was happening and she pushed Inu-Yasha away.
He looked surprised but opened his mouth anyways,"You don't belong here.You should come back with me."
Kagome was almost surpised by what he said but replied,"Inu-Yasha there is something I need to tell you."
Sorry this took so long a few things came up I wasn't counting on.But it's out now hope you like it! And like always a cliffhanger that keeps you on edge!
