Chapter 4

Confessions? I wish!

After Kagome had packed her bag to take to the feudal era, she went to say good-bye to her family. Inuyasha, surprisingly enough, was waiting quite patiently by the well house, if you don't count his foot tapping in annoyance. With the good-byes said, her and Inuyasha jumped through the well's portal to the feudal era where their friends waited.

Later at nightfall...

"Really Sango, I wish you would reconsider", Miroku pathetically begged Sango. He was, yet again, being a lecher and Sango was promptly ignoring him. Easy enough if you ask me.

"Not a chance, lech!", she said through gritted teeth. "Like I would want to bear any child of yours!"

Just then they heard Inuyasha yell at Shippo who was sitting by the well awaiting their return. He must have done something to get on the poor puppies nerves again. Well, fuck that. Inuyasha has distemper anyway.

Kagome came back alone but you could hear in the distance Inuyasha and Shippo yelling, no, begging Kagome to come back. Of course, their words were not understandable but it got the point across to Sango and Miroku.

"Umm... Kagome? Where are Inuyasha and Shippo? Isn't it the new moon tonight?", asked Sango.

"Why, yes it is", Kagome replied. "Exactly why Inuyasha won't be able to get away. They both deserve it".

"Deserve what?", asked Sango and Miroku in unison.

"Oh, I just tied them together and left them by the well. Their always picking fights with each other so I thought if the spent a night together in that special position that their in then maby it will help them to get along a bit, while I'm around anyway".

"So basically, you going to scare them into behaving?", asked the monk.

"Yea, pretty much".

After a moment of silence they all burst into fits of laughter. When that passed they gathered their stuff and went to join Inuyasha and Shippo so they wouldn't be edgy and so Kagome could keep Inuyasha calm, for the most part. He only feels safe as a human when Kagome is around and they all knew it.

When they reached the clearing where the well was located, Sango and Miroku had to hold back the laughter now threatening to erupt again. For Inuyasha was leaned against the well looking down at the little ball of fur literally tied into his arms. Shippo, meanwhile, was fast asleep. Inuyasha looked up as Kagome, Sango and Miroku entered the clearing and the first thing they saw in his face was protectiveness over the little fox, then anger and self pity directed at Kagome. They all saw it though, the kindness he was showing towards Shippo. Amazing what half an hour can do. (aka, it's a long walk to and from the village).

Kagome went to Inuyasha and loosened his bindings slowly until they were no longer tying the 'runt' to him. As soon as they were off he tried to high tail it but Kagome simply pulled him back down to the ground and pushed the still sleeping Shippo into his arms again. "Stay", she whispered. "Stay and show that you don't really hate him".

"But-". He was silenced by Kagome's finger touching his lips. She sat beside him and pulled his arm around her. From Sango and Miroku's point of view they looked like a little misfit family. They took that as their cue to leave.

Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo all slept soundly despite the fact that Inuyasha didn't go to sleep. He never did when he was human. He couldn't exactly rely on his senses to alert him of danger. Instead he stayed awake and watched over Kagome and Shippo while they slept. For a while, he was watching Kagome and noting how beautiful she was, that is before he caught himself and tried to redirect his thoughts elsewhere.

It dawned on him though that he must love Kagome. He had never thought this way before about her, only Kikyo. But Kikyo was part of the past and Kagome was his future, he could see this now. In the morning he would tell her that he loved her.

Morning:

Of course, he didn't tell her because his only emotions of love and devotion left him at dawn only to be replaced by the moody hanyou once more. No way would he ever have the guts to tell her when he was half demon. It would be far too embarrassing for him. 'Even love isn't worth embarrassment', he thought moodily.

Later, when he sat in the Goshinboku all he could think about was Kagome and how much he loved her. At least he made it over the line of admitting it to himself. now, to tell her.

Then he heard a scream, Kagome's scream. He bolted from the tree back to the village to see Naraku holding Kagome by the hair and his friends in their fighting stances. He had to get Kagome back! How dare Naraku even think of laying a finger on Kagome! He was gonna pay!

Inuyasha drew his sword as it transformed. Naraku only laughed. "You and I both know you won't use that blade while I have this", he said as he jerked on Kagome's hair. She screamed and it made Naraku laugh.

"If you want your wench back that come find her. I warn you, maby you should just stay here and not have to bother with the decision your going to have to make". Before Inuyasha could ask what the hell Naraku was talking about, he vanished. Inuyasha growled. "Damn-it. Kagome", he muttered to the heavens. "I'll get you back. Just hang in there". And with that he started his search to find his love that was so cruelly taken from him.
