To Prove they Love
Chapter 6: Dearest
It would be nice if we could put away
And throw out
Everything except what truly matted,
But reality is cruel
In such times,
I see you laughing
Whenever I close my eyes
Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
That smiling face will
Have to stay with me without fail
People are all sad, so
They go and forget, but…
For that which I love,
For that which gives me love,
I will do what I can
Back then, when we met,
It was awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got hurt, didn't we?
Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
That smiling face will
Have to stay with me without fail
Back then, when we met,
It was awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got there in the end.
Chapter 6
Kagome opened her eyes. Everything that had happened seemed like a dream. Even if it was a dream, she could still taste Inu Yasha on her lips. Wait, where was Inu Yasha?
Kagome sat up too quickly, and her head spun with newly regained blood circulation. As soon as the dizziness passed, Kagome stood and left her room. There was no Inu Yasha there, no Inu Yasha in the bathroom, no Inu Yasha in the kitchen where her mom was making pancakes…Ooh pancakes. Kagome grabbed a plate that was already made especially for her.
"Mom, have you seen Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Not since the last time you came home with him."
"Oh." Kagome was really starting to wonder if it really had been a dream. So, she asked, "Mom, how long have I been gone?"
"Gone, Kagome, you didn't leave. You came home yesterday after your geometry test and went to sleep."
"I did?"
"Kagome are you feeling ok?"
If she had come home and gone to sleep without even knowing it, perhaps that really was a dream. Kagome finished her pancakes quickly. A thought had wiggled its way into her mind again. What if it hadn't happened yet?
"K, mom. Thanks for the pancakes. I'll be back soon!"
Kagome hurried out of the house. She ignored the fact that she should bring everyone things from her backpack. All that mattered was that Inu Yasha wasn't stuck to the tree on the other side. She was in the well house and down the well in record time. Amazing things happened when you were worrying about other things than squishing the food in a giant backpack.
In the past, nothing seemed different. There was no Inu Yasha, or apparent absence of Inu Yasha. But, he still wasn't there to greet her.
Panicking, Kagome ran all the way to the village. Was it just her imagination, or did the run seem easier? She didn't notice that the people were not staring at her. For the villagers in this world, seeing an oddly dressed teen was a typical occurrence.
However, Kagome did not see them staring in the dream world, so she did not notice the lack of it this time. She ran into Kaede's hut. "Kaede-basan, where's Inu Yasha?"
"Eh?" Inu Yasha looked up at her.
Kagome stopped to look. Inu Yasha was looking like she had sat him. Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara were sitting in their usual spots. Kaede was no where to be found.
"Kagome, why are you so worried?" Sango asked. She made a move to stand, but Kagome gestured her to remain seated.
"Oh…um…I don't know. Inu Yasha, are you ok?"
"Yeah. It was kind of weird, though. I think I might of had a weird dream or something, and it spit me out. Kagome, are you ok?"
Kagome had slid to the floor. Try as hard as she might, she couldn't hold in her laughter. Truthfully, she was relieved. The world was back to normal, and the other one was just like a dream. Inu Yasha had told her that, in his own little way. Maybe it was just a dream, and Inu Yasha fell out of the tree he normally slept in. Either way, it was gone.
She had triumphed. Kagome had overcome her fear of being only second best to Kikyou in Inu Yasha's heart. She had proven how much she loved Inu Yasha to herself. She was proud of herself.
"Kagome…"
Kagome looked to see Inu Yasha staring at her.
"Yes."
"When are we going to get married?"
"As soon as I'm out of High school, if that's what you want."
"Why not sooner?"
"Don't whine Inu Yasha. I'll say the magic word if you do. I wasn't able to say that for ten days."
"No, Kagome!"
Kagome smiled evilly. She decided she wasn't going to sit him, not right now, anyway. But…why tell Inu Yasha that? Things had returned to normal.

A/N: Ok, well I think that will be the end. It is possible I might write an epilogue, but only if you people think it will be ok. Tell me! Any way, the end sounds crappy, in my opinion, but I can't re write it right now. If given an extra month, I might come back to this one, but not right now. I will be working on another Inu Yasha fan fic…which one, I don't know, but I will. I think I might work on a Single Strand, since I still have bits of that written down. Shrugs Something will come to me.
Any how, it has been good to hear from any reviewers. If I hear from more with positive results, I might find an idea for the epilogue idea starts forming What is it? Hmm…yes, I need reviews. So, thanks for reading To Prove thy Love. I hope you enjoyed it, even if you didn't review.
Hidden Demon, signing out.
