Ending of last Chapter:

"Wow! Inuyasha, I never know you could do something like that. I always thought you were not paying any attention to me when I wrap your wounds. You did a great job!"

'Kagome there is a lot you don't know about me, but maybe soon I will be able to tell you.' Inuyasha thought as he re-wrapped Kagome's wound.

"Feh, it wasn't that hard."

Chapter 2 Questions

Sango sighed again, for the tenth time in ten minutes. After the battle Kagome and Inuyasha went into the woods and never returned to get them. Miroku had decided that they should just leave Kagome and Inuyasha alone for awhile so they could talk, to sort out their feelings, and explain what happened during the battle. They could take care of each other, but Sango knew that Kagome was bleeding and that she needed to be taken care of. That was when Miroku discovered that his wind tunnel had been damaged and needed to be taken care of right away too. She never really had any choice; if Miroku was attacked he would have no way of protecting himself. However, Sango couldn't help wondering if Kagome was ok or not.

'Kagome is very smart she can take care of herself and plus she had Inuyasha with her so she should be fine. The only reason I'm here is to protect Miroku!' That's what Sango keep telling herself.

Sango looked over at Miroku, he was still staring out the window at the night sky in deep thought. Sango was wondering what was wrong with Miroku he hadn't tried to grope her all evening. It wasn't like she missed it, she just hated to see Miroku depressed. Miroku felt someone's eyes staring at him, so he turned around to see Sango staring. Her eyes were full of worry. He looked over at Shippo who was fast asleep on a pillow.

"Lady Sango don't worry, Inuyasha is capable of taking care of Kagome-chan, so relax. Ok! I bet Kagome and Inuyasha are sitting by a fire now eating ramen right now. I am sure we have nothing to worry about."

" I hope your right Miroku. I would never want anything to happen to them. You guys are my family." Sango silently started to cry after she said this.

Miroku got up from his spot and sat down by Sango, he was trying hard not to grope her and it was working so far, but he kept wondering how long it would last. He put his arms around Sango and hugged her. Miroku expected a slap but instead he got a hug back. Sango did something that would surprise them both; she grabbed Miroku's hand and led them outside. They walked along a path for a little while.

"Sango, where are we going?"

"I don't know, I guess just for a walk."

" Can I talk to you about something?"

Miroku was feeling sick inside. He wanted to tell Sango that he loved her and that he would like to marry her, but he didn't know how she felt so he just waited for her to answer him. He didn't think she would say yes anyway because of his wind tunnel.

'Maybe after we defeated Naraku she would...'

"Sure, Miroku, what is it about?" Sango also wanted to tell him how she felt but she couldn't. She didn't have time for a relationship or love. She had to defeat Naraku and rebuild her village. But she wanted to love Miroku, she did love him, and maybe they could rebuild her village together and start a family.

" Let us sit down over here. You see Sango what I wanted to tell you is..."

"Miroku do you feel that. It's a very powerful negative energy. It feels like Naraku but some how different."

'Damn! Right when I was about to tell her.'

"Yes Sango I feel it and I think we should go back to the hut. In the morning we will head back to camp in search for Inuyasha and Kagome-chan."

As Sango was getting up to leave she fell back down in pain. She had been wounded at the battle but never told anyone, but she guessed the secret was out now. She tried to move again but this caused only more pain. She started to cry slightly, she hated crying in front of people but she was in so much pain. Miroku was already by her side trying to figure out what was wrong.

" Sango what's wrong? Where are you hurt to?"

"I'm fine Miroku! I am not hurt, let's just get back to camp."

"Lady Sango you are not fine! Now tell me where you are hurt to!" Miroku screamed this.

Sango has never seen him so determined and angry at the same time. Sango sighed and decided to give into Miroku. The pain was almost unbearable now so she had to.

"If you stop calling me Lady Sango, I will tell what's wrong." She said through gasps of air.

"Ok, Sango. But let me carry you back to the hut first."

"OK"

Miroku picked up Sango and carried her back to the hut. When they got back Sango stopped crying and told Miroku that during the battle she was thrown at a tree and she thought she might have broken a few ribs.

Miroku remember Sango being thrown against a tree, but when he asked her if she was all right she said yes. He should have known she would have lied but he never thought of that at the time.

"La...Sango we have to put something around your ribs so they will heal better. Maybe we can wrap it up with some of the bandages they use on my wind tunnel. They are strong and will help it heal. I could help you! If you want ?"

"Why not, as long you keep your hands to yourself, I will let you help."

" Ok."

Miroku helped Sango undress, he was a little bit depressed when he found out Sango was wearing an undershirt but he got over it quickly as he started to help Sango dress her wound. Not once did Miroku try to grope her, he used all his will power not to and for once he never.

When they were all finished Miroku helped Sango lie down onto her mat, and then he went over to his own mat and lid down. Sango didn't want him to be alone, she wanted Miroku to lie down with her and comfort her while she was in pain. So Sango got up all her courage and asked a question that would change everything between her and Miroku.

"Miroku, would you lie down with me?"

Miroku was shocked at first he never expected anything like this from Sango. Maybe she did like him! Sango was holding her breathe as she waited for an answer.

"Sure Sango, I would LOVE to."

Miroku got up and went over, crawled under Sango's blanket with her, and lightly put his arm around her waist. Miroku had expected to get slapped across the face but instead Sango snuggled closer to him. This night would mark history for them two, they both finally knew how they felt the about each other. But would they admit it?

"Good night Miroku." Sango said half asleep.

"Sweet dreams, My sweet Sango."

Sango's eyes snapped open. 'Did he just call me MY sweet Sango?' Sango was about to question Miroku about it, when she noticed that he was asleep. 'I guess I will have to wait until morning to ask him. Oh well!' And with that Sango fell into a peaceful sleep not knowing what will come tomorrow.

With Inuyasha/Kagome

Inuyasha had finished rewrapping Kagome's wound and they were now both enjoying the beautiful night that was in front of them. The fire created dancing shadows across the trees, and the moon was out, it was pale, but it was still a perfect night.

Kagome was sitting down leaning against a tree, and Inuyasha was sitting above her. He was keeping a close eye on her. Kagome knew that in the next week the new moon would appear and Inuyasha would lose all of his demon powers. The group decided that Kagome and Inuyasha would go back to Kagome's era for once, so Kagome could get some school work done and Inuyasha would be safe there. Plus he would also catch up on some sleep. This would be the first time her and Inuyasha went to her era while he was in human form and Kagome was going to take advantage of this.

They decided they were going to go to a movie, the mall and swimming. But one thing she had to do before they went, before Inuyasha was human, was to tell him how she felt. Kagome couldn't keep it in any more she had to tell him even if Inuyasha didn't want to be with her she would know that he knew how she felt before it was two late.

The group's final battle was coming near, the whole jewel was almost collected and soon it would happen. No one knew what to expect, what would happen, or even who will win. But they did know one thing; they would fight together as one, because as one they could not be defeated. Kagome knew that she would have to purify the jewel and calm the battle that it going on inside it but she didn't know how to do it. At least she didn't think she knew how to do it. Kagome knew what she had to ask Inuyasha, but what will his answer be?

"Ummm...Inuyasha I am sure that the new moon will be here in a couple of days."

Inuyasha jumped out of the tree and landed softly right next to Kagome before he answered. He looked at Kagome; she looked very uncomfortable and worried. 'Even when she is worried she looks beautiful.' Inuyasha stopped denying his feels for Kagome, which he could not anymore, he just had to except that he was in love with Kagome.

"Feh, I already know that! What about it?"

"Inuyasha did you forget that your coming to my era?"

"No! I just don't want to go."

"We have been over this Inuyasha it would be better to go to my time, Naraku knows when you change to your human form, and it's only until after the final battle."

"And then what Kagome you will go back to your era and I'll be left here alone!"

Inuyasha couldn't believe what he had just said. Kagome was shocked, she didn't know what to say, she knew this day would come when they had to talk about what was going to happen but she thought that she would say something to him and not the other way around. Inuyasha was now in a daze, he couldn't believe what he had just said. Inuyasha jumped back into the tree above Kagome to think. He needed to make a final decision. Kagome was too shocked to even notice what was going on. She had to tell Inuyasha how she felt because there might be a chance that he felt the same way but how would she say it.

Inuyasha POV (point of view)

' Kagome and I have become so close over these past three years. We have had many great times together. She hasn't left my side since the day she released me from the tree, and I have always been by hers. When we defeat Naraku what will happen to us? Miroku's wind tunnel will be gone and he and Sango will be able to finally be together. Shippo will most likely stay with Kaede, but what about me and Kagome?

'Ok I owe Kikyou my life because she died for me, she followed me into the after life, and for what do be with me. I don't want to die anymore I want to live and be happy. Kikyou knew what her powers would do to me, that they wouldn't kill me.' Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and sighed.

'I don't know if I really loved her? No it was more like companionship, we had been so lonely for so long that we thought it was love, but it wasn't. We didn't even trust each other. ? Gawd, if I had just trusted her she wouldn't have died, but then I wouldn't have ever met Kagome. Did she really die for me? She knew that the jewel was tainted after what happened between us, so she knew she would have to die, and that's what she did. She fulfilled her duties as a miko priestess.' Inuyasha brain swirled with all these thoughts, he thought his head might explode.

' Ok, Kikyou wanted me to change into a human but Kagome has shown me time and time again that she likes me the way I am. Kagome has done so much for me, and I can't stop thinking about her. Kikyou wanted to kill me at first but now she only wants me to go to hell with her. I can't go, I may have sworn to her that I would always protect her, but now it's different. This is not the same Kikyou from 53 years ago, its just part of soul, and it the part that has hatred towards me.'

'Sooo... Now I have stopped denying it, I love Kagome, I have fallen in love with the girl from the future, and I promised I would protect her. I need to be there for her. She has always been there for me, she brought me back to being a half demon before my demon blood could consumed me...She makes me feel so content and peaceful inside...When I was with Kikyou we were not able to express our feelings to each other...Kagome is the only other person besides my mother who has shed tears for me……Ok I have made a decision I will tell Kagome my true feelings and if she returns them I will stay with her, but if she doesn't I will go to hell with Kikyou. I love you Kagome and there is nothing stopping me from doing so any more! Tonight you will find out how I really feel about you.'

Inuyasha jumped out of the tree he had been sitting in. He had been sitting there for about two hours just thinking. Kagome had finally come out of shock and watched Inuyasha, wondering what he was thinking about. She had done some of her own thinking as well. Kagome decided that tonight would be the night she would tell Inuyasha how she felt. If she never did it tonight, she would never get enough courage to say it later. She looked up for Inuyasha, but didn't see him.

"Kagome can... we...umm talk?" Inuyasha said this in almost a whisper.

Kagome could only nod her head. It was like her whole throat had closed up and she wasn't able to talk. Inuyasha came over and sat down by Kagome. He sniffed the air a couple of times to check and see if anyone was around. Kagome saw what he was doing and checked the area with her own Miko powers, she sensed that it was only her and Inuyasha around. Inuyasha did one more check before he began to talk. He took a deep breathe and was about to began.

"It has been a crazy couple of days, hasn't it Inuyasha? But now it's a beautiful night!"

"Your right it has been crazy and yet the night is beautiful."

Kagome was yet again shocked at how Inuyasha was being so sweet. He only acts different around the group.

"Kagome you promised that you would stay by my side right ?"

"Ya of course I did! I could never leave you." Kagome blushed when she said this.

"So whatever happens you will?"

"Yes Inuyasha I will always...umm...are you still p..planing to become a full fledged demon?" Kagome said this so quite that only Inuyasha would ever hear it.

"I don't know anymore Kagome, since I met you my views on everything has changed. I am only a half demon, I feel..."

"Weak...Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome she knew him so well. It almost scared him."Well yes, no matter how much power I have, I can't defeat Naraku."

"Inuyasha he is using the power of the sacred jewel to make him stronger, you are the strongest fighter I know. You always make it through and I know from the bottom of my heart that you will find a way to defeat him."

"You have so much faith in me, and you have always stayed by my side, but why are you so worried about me changing into a demon Kagome?"

"Inuyasha, every time you change into a demon you always seem to forget me!" Slient tears ran down Kagome cheeks. Inuyasha whipped them away with his thumb.

"Kagome I could never forget you. You have never left my side."

"Inuyasha?"

"Ya?"

"If I never leave your side, will you promise that you will never forget me and what we have done these past 3 years?"

"Kagome, I promise."

"Inuyasha if you always wanted to be stronger why were you going to become human for Kikyou?"

"I guess, we were moving so fast I never thought it over."

"Inuyasha I know that's not true." Inuyasha was a little scared by this. Kagome knows him to well. She can now tell when he is lying or not.

"Well I thought it was the only way to be with Kikyou because of the Shikon jewel. I couldn't wait to be with the one I...loved."

"Do..you still...love her?"

"Kagome, at the time, I thought it was love, but it was more like companionship. We were lonely for so long that once we found each other we thought it was love. It's funny really one day I am running away from Kikyou's arrows, tying to get the Shikon jewel, and the next she was asking me to become a human for her. We wanted to share our pain together; I will never say that I didn't love her. But it's just that we never knew each other well enough to know if it was really love or not. But now..."

"So what now, you don't love her?"

"I will never deny that I had deep feelings for Kikyou, but I have realized that the Kikyou that it walking on this earth today is not the Kikyou from 53 years ago. It's only a bit of her soul that was taken, it's only the hatred she has for me, and I know now that I have to move on. The Kikyou I knew would have never wanted me to die. She would want me to be happy, and I finally understand why Kikyou made the decision she did. She knew the Shikon jewel was tainted and if she had to use it...I can't image what would have happened..."

"Your not going to hell now?" Kagome eyes where full of hope. She preyed that Inuyasha would no got to hell. She wanted him to stay with her.

"Kagome, she is not the real Kikyou, she is just a copy that smells like death, bones and soil. I will not go with her."

"But that is all I am just a copy!"

"Kagome don't say that you are a wonderful person full of passion, hope, courage and soul. You are not a copy of Kikyou you are you. You have your own sweet smell and your eyes show your soul and sprit. You will never be a copy of Kikyou. You are Kagome!"

"Oh Inuyasha I was afraid you were going to leave me and die. I was so scared!"

"You were, Kagome? I promised I will never leave you."

Kagome was now crying Inuyasha pulled her into his lap and hugged her. At first Kagome was surprised but then she relaxed and hugged Inuyasha back. Inuyasha was careful not to hurt Kagome because he didn't want anything to hurt her again. When they broke apart Kagome leaned up and Kissed Inuyasha softly on the lips...
