Chapter One- True Fealings Confessed

It was a usual day as Kagome and InuYasha walked along the dirt path. They were in there way toward Kaede's hut after a week of traveling and hunting jewel shards. Sango and Miroku had already confessed there feeling for each other long ago. The had gotten married and lived in the village with Kohaku. They would soon have a baby and couldn't risk fighting alongside InuYasha and Kagome, but would do so if it was extremely important.

They walked for a few minutes in total silence. "God I love him so much, but he thinks I'm a stupid human and couldn't careless." Kagome thought to herself.

"Why is Kagome so kind to me. She doesn't reject me like most do…" InuYasha's thoughts were instantly broken as he heard Kagome voice.

"Inuyasha, two jewel shards are near by, over there." she said as she pointed West

"Alright, lets go" he said as he signaled for Kagome to climb on his back.

They soon reached a small clearing in the woods. InuYasha gently placed Kagome down and unsheathed his Tetsaiga. Soon two youkai appeared in the clearing. They appeared human but InuYasha could easily tell the were demons by their odor. One was a fox demon and the other a cat demon

"Kagome, stay behind me," Inuyasha growled.

Just then, Inuyasha leapt forward and brought his Tetsaiga down to strike the cat youkai. The demon easily dodged it and slashed at Inuyasha's chest. Blood dripped from the four slashes across Inuyasha's chest and he quickly counter attacked and cut off the demon's head.

"Inuyasha, look out behind you," Kagome shouted as the second one dashed for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha quickly jumped in the air and landed behind the demon. At the same time his eyes grew wide a the cat demon grew in size, his eyes were blood red and saliva dripped from his open mouth which showed his oversized fangs. The demon swung at Inuyasha and missed .

Kagome quickly shot an arrows and hit the demons back, but it had no effect Then, the demon headed straight for Kagome. She couldn't move as she was stunned with fear. Inuyasha quickly ran to her and carried her to the other side of the clearing. He placed here down and told her to shoot a sacred arrow when he attacks

"Wind scar!" Inuyasha shouted at the same time that Kagome shot a sacred arrow.

The attack surrounded the arrow as it headed straight for its target. The energy from the wind scar helped the arrow beak through the demons protective barrier. The arrowed hit the demons chest and he disintegrated leaving behind the shard as it fell to the ground. Kagome quickly found the one from the fox demon and she put them in the container she always carried.

"How could you be so stupid," Inuyasha yelled as he shook Kagome from her shoulders," You could've gotten yourself killed.

Kagome didn't answer him. She started to continue her walk to the village. "Was he really that worried about me? He never seemed to care before." She kept asking her self this until she made it back to the village and into Kaede's hut.

"Hello child," Kaede said as Kagome entered the hut. "What seems to be the problem?" she asked as she noticed Kagome's confused look.

"Oh, nothing," she quickly lied.

Just then, Inuyasha walked in and sat down in the corner of the hut. "What was wrong with Kagome? I was only worried about her" he thought to himself.

He looked over to see Kagome's beautiful eyes staring at him. They both quickly looked away with as a slight blush appeared on their faces. Inuyasha then left the hut and started to walk off into the forest. Kagome secretly followed, wondering were he was going. He walked to the sacred tree to were he was pinned for fifty years.

He then started to think about Kagome. How he secretly loved her and would never tell her in fear that she would reject him. "How could anyone love a lowly half-breed?" He asked himself. Just then he sensed someone was coming towards him. He quickly turned around to see Kikyou.

"Are you ready to go to hell with me?" she asked in a harsh voice as she moved closer.

"No, I'll never go to hell with you." he was cut off as Kikyou interrupted.

"Its that whore, isn't it. Kagome" she said with a hate in her voice.

"She isn't a whore, don't you ever say that about her! I love her."

"So be it, I release you from your promise you made to me." She said as she walked over to him and kissed him for one last time.

Kagome came in to late. She only saw him kissing her and then ran off with tears in her eyes.

"I knew he didn't care for me. He still loves Kikyou. I was so stupid to think he could love a girl like me." was all she thought as she ran to Kaede's village.

InuYasha instantly smelt the strong mixture of Kagome's sent and tears. He knew what she saw and instantly ran towards the village.

Kagome was packing her things and was getting ready to leave. She said goodbye to Kaede. When she opened the door to leave she saw Inuyasha.

"Kagome, it wasn't what u think………." Inuyasha began but was cut off

"SIT!

InuYasha instantly dropped as she said that word, landing face first with a ground-shaking crash.

"What was that for, wench ?", Inuyasha screamed, after he regained control of his body.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said with tears starting to form in her eyes, Inuyasha recognized that look and instantly knew what was about to happen.

"I'm going home." was the only thing she said before storming off toward the well.

It had started to rain and he lost his senses, but it didn't matter. He knew were she was going. Kagome ran to the well and jumped in. The blue light surrounded her as she fell. When she hit the floor she looked up too see the well house . She quickly got up and ran to her house. Opened the front door and ran upstairs to her room. She didn't even bother to say hello to her family. They knew InuYasha had done something foolish again. Kagome laid on her bed and stated crying until she fell asleep.

Inuyasha quickly climbed out of the well after he followed Kagome into it. He could see her bedroom light was off once he exited the well house, but he knew she was there. He could smell the salt that was coming from the house. He quickly ran and jumped to the tree that was next to her window. He looked in to see Kagome on her bed asleep, but with her cheeks covered in tears. He opened the window and jumped in, he landed softly on her floor without making a sound. He wiped away her tears with his thumb. Then she woke up.

"Inu…Inuyasha" she said still partially asleep.

"Kagome, I'm sorry. Earlier, I was trying to say it wasn't what you thought it was. I wasn't kissing Kikyou. It was her last kiss before she went to hell, without me." Inuyasha said with an apologetic tone in his voice.

"Inuyasha, does that mean that you don't love her anymore." Kagome asked with hope in her eyes.

"No, I will always love her," he said, as Kagome's eyes started to water again. "Kagome please don't cry, I hate it when u cry. I will always love her but not in the way I love you", he said as he pulled her closer into his embrace.

"Kagome, I love you with all my heart and I always will. I know you could never love a half-breed like me, but I….."

He was cut off as Kagome pressed her lips against his. His muscles were tense at the sudden surprise but he soon relaxed.

"Inuyasha, I love you too. I don't care if you're a half-breed. I would love you no matter what you were. I was always afraid you wouldn't love me because you still love Kikyou."

She then felt his arms tighten around her and she rested her head on his shoulder.

Inuyasha laid down pulling her with him. He pulled her as close as he could and wrapped his arm around her in a protective and possessive way.

Kagome curled up in his grasp as she fell asleep, happier than she ever was in her entire life. Inuyasha nuzzled her neck as they both fell asleep.
