"Wait when did Sesshoumaru start being like a brother to you?"

"Thats sounds interesting!"
"Well it is but he would say much more then that."
"Ok after Kagome and I eat you have to leave Inuyasha so we can get ready."

Chapter6 Confessions part 2
Inuyasha left to go to Sesshoumaru's office again, he had a private bathroom and was going to let Inuyasha use it to get ready for the festival. After Inuyasha left, Kagome and her mother started to get ready themselves. With the help of her mother Kagome safely got into and out of the shower. She felt so good after that, because she hasn't had a hot bath or anything in a couple of weeks. Sure she bathes in the hot springs but it is just not the same.
Kagome's mother had to run home and get Kagome some clean unmentionables.(lol thats funny) Kagome lid on her bed in a robe until he mother got back. It was around 4:45. Then they started to dry and style Kaome's hair. They put most of her hair up into a sloppy bun, but left a couple of pieces down to frame her face. Next they did Kagome's makeup it was simple, just a little red blush and some light green eye shadow. (she's wearing green eye shadow because she has brown eyes, and that the colour you wear to bring your eye colour.) The supper was to start at 5:30 and Kagome and her mother were all ready to go 10 minutes before that. All they had to do now was wait for Inuyasha to take Kagome to the dance. (Ok he asked her before he left to get ready, but it never showed up in the chapter for one reason or another!) Mrs. Higurashi left the room, she would meet Kagome and Inuyasha at the festival. Plus she wanted to give them some alone time.
Inuyasha left Kagome and her mom so they could get ready, and he wanted to look good tonight so he went to use Sesshoumaru private bathroom. He had a little chat with his older brother, and then went to get ready. He was amazed at the bathroom, it was huge. It had a shower, a huge tub, and everything any man could every want in a bathroom. Inuyasha had a shower and then used a thing which Kagome call a hair drier to dry his hair. He got fustrated after almost a half hour of drying his hair, where it was so long, but he got through it. He didn't know how Kagome could do this everytime she was home here in the future. He got dress in his tux, but his top hat wouldn't stay straight, and he was going to be late if he didn't leave now, so he left it crooked. Inuyasha walked through the hospital at a rather fast speed, as he was coming up to Kagome's room he almost ran into Kagome's mother, she look pretty good. She nodded at him and went on her way. Inuyasha knocked on Kagome's door. At first no one answered but then Kaogme told him to come in.
"Come in Inuyasha, I'll only be another minute."
"Feh."
Inuyasha just stood there looking around the room, he felt extremely nervous. Tonight would be the night that he told Kagome how he feels, but what he didn't know was if she would feel the same way back. He has ever felt like this in his entire life, not even when he was with Kikyou.
Kagome looked in the mirror once more she wanted to look perfect tonight, she was still surprised that Inuyasha asked her to go as his date. Not friends date but a date, she felt kind of kiddy and nervous. She hoped that she will be able to dance, it hurt to walk, but not as much as before. This morning she was in pain just from talking or moving any little bit but whatever medication they were giving her it was working. She felt almost hundred per cent better then this morning.
'Hopefully Inuyasha and I wont fight tonight like this morning!'
Kagome checked her self one last time and walked out of the bath room. Inuyasha waited patiently for Kagome, and then she walked out of the bathroom. Inuyasha was stunned she looked beautiful. She looked amazing, Kagome started to blush Inuyasha look so hot she couldn't stop staring at him. Inuyasha turned his head away as he started to blush. Inuyasha could smell the perfume Kagome was wearing it wasn't strong, it was as if she only put on little, so that only he could smell it.
"Kagome you look beautiful." Inuyasha's voice was very gentle.
"Thanks. You look very hansom yourself."
Kagome tried her best not to say hot.
"I have something for you."
"Inuyasha you have already done so much for me you didn't have to."
"Of course I did, I am your date."
Inuyasha pulled out a red rose courage, Kagome gasped, it was gorgeous. Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and pinned it on her dress, while Kagome blushed. Inuyasha held out his arm and Kagome linked her arm through his. They walk towards a set of elavators, just as they got to them the doors opened, and both stepped inside.
Kagome remembered her first elevator ride it was at the mall with her dad, she was only four or five at the time. They went on it almost ten times before they got kicked off by a mall officer. Kagome and her dad always had fun when he wasn't away at work. Her dad was a business man and worked long hours, but he always made time for his family. Kagome loved her father very much, but he died when she was only a little girl. She could still remember what he looked like.
Kagome sighed, Inuyasha looked at Kagome she had a twinkle in her eye, it was almost like a tear drop, but it wouldn't fall from her eye. Just as Kagome was about to say something the elevator stopped and they stepped out. They walked into a huge ball room, there were huge pillars with cloth wrapped around them, each one connecting to the other by the cloth. The ceiling looked as if it was made of clouds, a huge shandelear with candles instead of light bubbles hung in the middle of the room, there were lots of round tables set up around the room, and they had light blue table cloths on them, with chairs to match. Balloons were scattered across the floor all seem to be a different shades of blue and pink. In the middle of the room was a hard wood dance floor with a band playing off to the side. Candles hanging from the walls glowed softly. Inuyasha led Kagome down through a row of tables and then he stopped at one table in particular. He notice that it was different then the rest, it was a little bigger and had more chairs around.
"Inuyasha this is our table."
"How do you know?"
"There are name tags on each plate and ours are there, but why would we be sitting at the head table?"
"Oh, I don't know!"
"Could everyone please take their seats the feast is about to begin."
A voice said on loud speakers, Inuyasha jumped, he has never heard something that loud before. Kagome looked around the room, trying to find her mother, she spotted her talking to some people on the other side of the room. Inuyasha tapped Kagome on the shoulder to get her attention, he had pulled out her seat so she could sit down. Kagome saw someone coming towards the table that looked oddly familar. She almost gasped when she saw him.
"Hello little brother."
"Good evening Sesshoumaru."
Inuyasha said this through grid teeth he didn't want to say or do anything stupid that would ruin Kagome's evening.
"Good evening Sesshoumaru. How are you tonight?" Kagome asked.
She felt a little strange in the fedual era he was one of there enemies.
"Good Kagome, how about you tonight? Are you in any pain?"
"I feel a lot better then this morning, but I still have a little bit of pain in my side, but it is nothing to worry about."
"If it gets to bad take a rest. How rude of me, let me introduce you to my wife, Amy."
Inuyasah didn't even notice the women standing by Sesshomaru. She was tall and had black hair, she had on an orange grown, it seemed to match her. Everyone said hello and then sat down. Kagome's mother joined them a few minutes later. More introductions were made, and the meal began. Inuyasha tried his best not to eat fast and used a fork and knife, he didn't want to make a fool out of himself in front of his brother.
"Sesshoumaru, I was wondering why are we sitting at the head table with you?" Kagome asked.
"Thanks simple Kagome, I am the head doctor of this whole hospital and Inuyasha is my brother so he has to sit with me."
"Oh ok."
"Plus my wife made me."
The whole group laughed at this. Sesshomaru had changed so much over the centries, he is not as bitter and cold. He now had a sense of humor. ( a/n I think it is because of his wife!lol) It was very different from the old Sesshomaru.
"If you would excuse me, I have to give a speech before the dance can began."
Sesshomaru got up and left the table, he walked up onto a small platform that was placed in the middle of the dance floor during the clean up. A small man, wearing clothes from he feudal era walked over with a microphone and a sheet of paper, and gave them to Sesshomaru. He cleared his throat, he tested the mic as the whole room went quiet he began his speech.
"Hello and good evening everyone. Welcome to the Festival of the Demons year 2004.I am glad to see so many faces sitting here from last year and that you all look like your having fun. I am sorry to announce that creator of the Festival of the demons is not with us here tonight, and you got stuck with me. Tonight we have a special guest, one of the most powerful Miko's known to this world, and I would like her to start off our first dance of the night. Ladies and gentlemen Kagome Higurashi, and her date."
The crowd clapped and Sesshomaru left the platform. Kagome looked shocked, she didn't know that she would be starting off the festivals first dance. She looked at Inuyasha who didn't seem surprised at all, he got up from his seat and walked over to Kagome. He offered her his hand, Kagome still being shocked took it. He led her to the dance floor, by now the platform had been moved, the band started to play a slow song. Inuyasha took Kagome in his arms and the moved slowly with the music. A spot light had been placed on them.
"Inuyasha, what.."
"Shhh ...lets just enjoy this moment."
Kagome sighed she knew Inuyasha was right. She laid her head on Inuyasha's shouder. She could her his heat beat insync wit her own. Both Kagome and Inuyasha felt at peace. No jewel shards to worry about, no fighting, and no Kikyou. They could both just be happy and not have to worry about anything. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, he wanted to hold her in his arms so many times. The music stopped and everyone clapped. Inuyasha and Kagome left he danse floor. A new song started to play, this being upbeat and jazzy. Couples swarmed to the dance floor, to do the swing.
"Inuyasha can we tal..."
Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and again led her towards the dance floor but then he head towards two glass doors, that led to balcony outside. Kagome was about to say she needed to go get he coat if they were going to be outside, but she notice that it wasn't cold. There was a barrier around the balcony that was keeping the heat in. Kagome walked over to a bench and sat down. Inuyasha sat down right next to her.
"Kagome, I was so afraid I was going to lose you, I got so mad, nothing seemed to matter, not the jewel, or Naraku. All I wanted to do is see your smile again, your face, and hear your voice. I wanted to be by your side, and I couldn't. I felt it was my fault you got hurt and I didn't know how to heal you. It shouldn't have happen."
"It wasn't your fault Inuyasha. You can't be in two places at once, I let my guard down just for a second when I shouldn't have. You have protected me from many demons, and Inuyasha you have saved my life to many times to count. So I want you to get it through your head that it wasn't your fault ok. Stop worrying about it."
Inuyasha put his hand on hers, Kagome looked at him, Inuyasha leaned in and kissed Kagome. At first Kagome thought that she was dreaming, but she relaxed and kissed Inuyasha back. Inuyasha broke the kiss. He took one deep breath.
"I have been thinking a lot lately about who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I need to tell you that. We hated each at first, but then that changed. She is beautiful, powerful, strong, brave and most of all kind, She makes up my whole world..."
'Inuyasha has chosen Kikyou, but I thought he had some feelings for me. He just kissed me.'
Kagome looked away, she was on the blink of tears. Inuyasha thought he knew what Kagome was thinking, he needed to tell her now. He didn't want to put her through any pain, even if she didn't love him back.
"Kagome your thinking right now that I have chosen Kikyou. But that is not true. I thought once that I loved her but it wasn't love. It was only companionship, Kagome I have chosen you. I love you and I want to be with you. I never really understood what love really is until I met you and now I have fallen in love with you. You have shown me how to feel and care again, and you have changed my life. You have never left my side and like me for who I am, and you told me I don't have to change. You are the only one who is able to see into my soul and how I truly feel."
Kagome sat there for a moment, and then she put her arms around Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, I love you to, I always have and always will. You have become a part of my soul, my heart and mind. I though that you wanted to be with Kikyou, so I was afraid to tell you how I feel. I thought you loved Kikyou and no one else could fit in your heart. I thought there was no room for me. But without you I wouldn't have found my inner strength, and power. I love you Inuyasha very much."
Kagome and Inuyasha looked into each others eyes. Passion, hope, kindness and love was burning in both of them. There relationship went from friendship to a brand new relationship, love. (God I could have told them that along time ago, but I am not the writer of Inuyasha.)
"Did you plan all this, I mean the getting the dresses, the first dance, and everything?"
"I didn't so much as plan it, but they were my ideas. Sesshomaru did most of the planing."
"Inuyasha, you did all this for me, but now I have nothing to give you in return."
"Kagome just knowing that you love me is enough. But the night is not over yet, I could still have a couple of tricks left up my sleeve."
"I don't know if I should be scared or happy!"
"Do you wan to head back to the dance Kagome?"
"Well maybe in a little while. I need to ask you something. We haven't really talked about the what has happened over the past couple of days. I was wondering that day during the battle Sango said she found 13 jewel shards, why would Naraku split the jewel up?"
"I think there not real but something he made himself. Like taking some pink stone and then adding a little power to them so there host will think it a jewel shard. I also think he is trying to slow us down with these jewel shards."
"Thats what I was thinking, I just had to ask you though, I couldn't get it off my mind. God have you notice how much has happened over the past couple of days?"
"Your telling me. Come on lets go back to the dance."
"Sure."
Inuyasha and Kagome walked back into the ball room, it seemed a bit darker then before. They walked on to the dance floor and started to dance to the fast beat of the music. Kagome was amazed on how well Inuyasha could dance. He moved just like a professional dancer. The band was playing a 50's number again and Inuyasha and Kagome were doing the swing. A circle had formed around them and all eyes were on them. Their bodies were insynic with each other and the moved perfectly not making one mistake. As the music ended Inuyasha dipped Kagome to the floor, both were now breathing hard. Kagome felt a little shock of pain run through her side, and Inuyasha noticed this on her face.
"Kagome are you in pain? Do you want to sit down?"
"A little bit and I think I need to sit for a while Inuyasha."
"Ok."
Inuyasha and Kagome walked over to the table hand in hand. Kagome's mother stop talking to Amy when she saw her daughter coming. She thought they make such a cute couple, and now they could me happy together. Kagome had loved Inuyasha for a long time, she told her mother that about 2 years ago. (ok it could be longer but I am not sure so don't bit my head off ok.)
" I see you both are having fun." Amy said.
"This festival is so cool. Its one just for demons. I wish I could meet the creator of it."
Amy wished she could tell Kagome who that demon was but it could affect the course of time, which Sesshomaru told her could change their whole future. She knew that along time ago she wouldn't be able to go and tell her husbands brother anything until the course of history was done.(which means until Kagome and Inuyasha really are living in the future, and not travelling through the well. They have to live through their lifes course.)
For the next couple of hours everyone had fun and danced, but as the night was starting to come to a close something happened. Inuyasha got a chair and put it in the middle of the floor, and got Kagome to sit on it. The little man came with a mic again and gave it to Inuyasha. Kagome just sat their wondering what was going on. She looked at Sesshomaru who was standing behind Amy with his hand on her shoulder, then she saw her mother, and now she looked back at Inuyasha. He looked at her and started to speak into the microphone.
" Kagome I know sometimes I can be a jerk, and say stupid stuff. But tonight I am going to say something that will change our lives. Kagome Higurashi will you marry me?"
"Inuyasha...of course I will."
The whole room clapped and cheered. Inuyasha put down the mic and pulled out a ring from his pocket, and he slipped it on to Kagome ring finger.
"Inuyasha how did you know?"
"Sesshomaru told me, he said it is very important in this time. I didn't want anyone in your time to try and take you away from me, so now everyone knows your mine."
"Inuyasha no one will ever take me away from you."
They had a couple of more danses and then said their good nights and good byes. Kagome's mother left to go home as Inuyasha and Kagome went back to her room. They have both were very tired. Kagome still couldn't believe this was happening to her. Kagome went into the wash room and changed into her P.J's, while Inuyasha changed into some his brother had gotten him. Kagome came out of the bathroom at first she was kind of embrassed but then she walked over to Inuyasha, who was already laying on her bed. She crawled in beside him, and he put his arm gently around her waist.
"Kagome do you think we are moving to fast?"
"I don't think we are Inuyasha, I know we only confessed our love towards each other tonight, but we have known each other for 3 years."
"Thats what I thought to."
Kagome and Inuyasha fell into a peaceful sleep. Only thinking about each other and their future together.
Wow...I am so sorry for not updating for so long, but I promise I will start to update faster. ok! anyway I hope you all liked this chapter and don't forget read and review. Did anyone figure out who Amy is? Or the little short guy? Well later days!
