A/N: Phew. I just installed the Sims 2 for my laptop, what a mistake THAT was. It took up WAY too much memory, and it went as slow as my virus infested computer that doesn't even work anymore. So I uninstalled it. I'll just have to put it on my grandparent's computer, like always. :)

Pre-Chapter Note: Kimochi means "feeling"… Yeah. Easy. At least, I think it means that. Not 100 sure. Every Heart by BoA (I know you all know what I'm talkin' about) has another name. It's Minna no Kimochi. I think that means Everyone's Feelings. Minna means everyone and Minna no means Everyone's … so yeah. 'Cause it's Every Heart, Everyone's Feelings, pretty much sounds the same………………………… yeah.

"Can't get into the BK Lounge without coups!" Dane Cook's audience laughed.

"I love Dane Cook!" Inuyasha laughed as Dane did impressions of people talking through the Burger King drive through, or should I say, the BK Lounge drive-thru.

Once again, Kagome and Inuyasha were alone. Except this time it was different. The librarian caught Sango and Miroku doing too many PDA's, or Public Displays of Affection. So she assigned them both detention for the night, rearranging the books back into alphabetical order.

Now that their feelings were out in the open, these moments were especially important to Inuyasha and Kagome. Both of them were too stubborn to display their true feelings in front of everyone, so they were starting to encourage Sango and Miroku to get into trouble, just so they could have some alone time.

Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome's shoulder and she leaned into him as he laughed more at the great comedian, Dane Cook. "The pickles, the pickles, and the pickles…" Dane was imitating a woman who spoke to softly into the drive-thru. "Excuse me, ma'am, but are you trying to molest me via drive-thru?"

Inuyasha felt Kagome stiffen at the word "molest". Inuyasha forgot how sensitive Kagome was to anything that had to do with violent sexual activity, or romance in general. Love dies, and Kagome was scared of it. She didn't want to be hurt again. Inuyasha felt her grow uncomfortable as the audience laughed at this joke, so he turned the television off.

"Why'd you turn it off?" The miko looked at the hanyou, acting like it didn't bother her.

"Just because. Hey. Will you finish telling me what al happened to you in your past? I mean," he moved his arm to her waist. "Now that we're closer, and all…"

She considered telling him, and she spoke again. "You should trust me, you know. How could you love someone you don't trust?"

She nodded. "But I never said I didn't trust you. But alright. Let's see." She tried collecting all the pain stained memories that would haunt her forever. "Where did I leave off?"

"You told me you killed your sonofabitch stepfather."

"Okay… Now I need to tell you about my previous boyfriend, Masao. He was one year older than me, and he was the only boy who was nice to me. I felt like I could tell him anything, even about my stepfather. He seemed compassionate and caring towards all the pain I'd been through. Soon we went on a few dates and later he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was the happiest girl in Japan. He was one of those types that all the girls wanted, and he was hard to get. And I felt so lucky to have him.

"We were extremely close and we hung out any chance we got. When we were apart, we were raking up the other one's phone bill. We took things fairly slow until one night not too long ago. I remember we were walking home from a movie until he smiled at me and said we should take a walk through the park. I agreed because going home meant leaving him for the night.

"The park was empty with the exception of a few birds and a kid and a parent in the playground nearby. Masao was moving his arm, and I remember thinking he was going to put it around me like he always did. I was wrong. He pushed me behind a bush and I fell on my back. I was too confused to get up right away. He practically jumped on top of me and he shoved his tongue down my throat. I knew what was happening as soon as he pulled down my skirt. I knew he was planning on raping me," she paused and let Inuyasha wipe a tear off her cheek. "I thought he wouldn't do this because he seemed to care so much about my stepfather and all, but he was no different. Masao had the same look in his green eyes as my late stepfather. I screamed and kicked as he was raping me. I had my purse with me so I took out my pepper-spray and sprayed him. He clutched at his eyes as I made a run for it.

"I ran to my house and he chased after me. Luckily my house wasn't far from the park. But it was so scary. I could feel his eyes on me, his breath on the hairs of my neck as he caught up to me. I stumbled in the front door and locked every lock there was. I snatched a knife and hid. From my hiding place, the pantry, I could hear glass shatter, and I knew he broke a window. I didn't know what he wanted from me! Why would he chase me just for sex?

"He stepped around my house and quickly found me hiding in the pantry. He attacked me again, this time his strength was more powerful. I grabbed the knife and cut him anywhere I could. I could barely see, but I felt the blade dig into his flesh. By now he was screaming in pain, but not dead. I saw police lights shining through the windows, and I thanked God. Apparently the person at the playground called the cops when they heard me screaming. I was so happy I'd been saved, but when the cops barged in, the first thing they saw was Masao lying in a pool of his own blood and me with the bloody knife.

"It was the stepfather problem all over again. They wouldn't listen to my side; All they cared about was that I murdered him. That was the most recent thing outside of this school. They were going to send me to a huge jail, but my mother said it was too harsh, and so they sent me here. But… ever since my boyfriend betrayed me, my only ray of sunshine turned dark. I found it extremely difficult to trust anyone. I gave up on most people…" her voice drifted off as she finished her story. She felt tears dripping down her cheeks. "It's funny how no matter how many times I go over these memories, I cry. It doesn't even upset me that much anymore. I just still find myself in tears. All I know is the frustration of not being believed with never leave me."

Inuyasha looked at her with affection. He felt like crying himself. How could anyone be so cruel? It's plain that these "murders" were self defense. He gathered her in his arms and pressed against her body tightly. "I believe you."

Kagome wasn't crying anymore. She was just sad and she felt empty. Now her screts were drained from her, and she felt like she was weightless - like there was nothing else in her to tell. She put her own arms around Inuyasha and placed her face in the curve of his neck, inhaling his intoxicating scent. His warmness made her feel a little happier, and her breath on his skin made his heart flutter. "… I love you, Kagome." She looked at him with her warm chocolate eyes. He leaned in and captured her lips delicately. It was only an innocent kiss, but it made both of their hearts pound heavily.

"I love you, too," she whispered. "You're the only person who I'm sure loves me… I now you'll never betray me, will you?"

"Never," he said and tasted her lips again. The kiss was over to quickly. He was burning for more from her, but he knew how she was scared by these things. "…Are you okay with this? I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

She smiled. "I'm fine. In fact, this is the total opposite of uncomfortable to me."

He flashed her a dazzling smile. "Good." He wrapped his hands firmly around her hips and she moved her to his neck. He let her crawl into his lap. He gently rubbed his claws in circles on her lower back. She smiled at this and gave him a peck on the lips. He felt a tiny growl of arousal creep up his throat. He covered her mouth with his as he pulled her even closer to him. He showered her mouth with his kisses, loving the taste of her. She was so addicting.

Kagome's heart jumped when he deepened the kiss and licked her bottom lip, not to mention nipping at it slightly. She gladly let him enter. She felt him purr slightly as she pushed her mouth closer to his. He broke off the kiss and moved his mouth to her neck. She felt herself gasp as his fangs lightly ran over her skin. She thought he might mark her, but he was considerate of her feelings and removed himself. He licked behind her ear instead.

Kagome finally caught up with her breath and started feeling odd. She loved Inuyasha and all, and she trust him more than anyone in the world but this was all too much for her. It started out with a few innocent kisses, now it was getting too heavy. "Inuyasha, please… stop…" she said as gently as she could.

He looked at her, puzzled.

"I'm sorry," she said. "It's just… I don't want to go too far. Can we please just take this slow?"

"Yeah… I'm sorry. I should've known."

"Don't be sorry. I told you it was alright. I'm just weird like that."

"You're not weird to feel that way."

"Yes I am."

"Then I guess I'm in love with a weirdo," he said and quickly kissed her. "Let's go get a snack while we wait for the two troublemakers." He took her by the hand and led her out the door. He was the happiest guy in Japan to have a girl like her.
