Kagome had a wistful look on her face after the events of the past few day.

Inuyasha went over and sat in front of Kagome. "You know, you've saved my life, too," he said with a smile.

"What?" she said.

"I give you one free wish," he smiled shyly at her.

"Inuyasha, I never saved you life," she replied.

"So."

Kagome was blushing. "You said I did. Any wish?" she asked.

"Any wish," he repeated.

"I want to touch you ears again," she said quietly.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, but smiled. "As you wish."

She lightly felt his ears. She loved how the felt so soft, As she left them, her hands went down his hair where by the back of his neck she brought him in and kissed him.

Inuyasha was surprised by the kiss. That wasn't her wish, but he "granted" it anyway by kissing her in return.

"Sorry," said Kagome. "It's just last night ..." she explained

"Oh, Kagome. I've waited for that for a long time."

"Why did you--wait, I mean."

"I didn't think you liked me." Inuyasha confessed.

"You did?" Kagome looked away. Perhaps she had come off as a little mean to Inuyasha? She had yelled at him plenty of times.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha didn't know what he was going to ask, but he just wanted to hear her speak.

"I'm sorry," Kagome whispered.

"For what?"

"All the times I ever treated you badly."

"I'm even sorrier. I've treated you worse."

"You know, I have thought a lot of things in my time, but I always thought about you."

Inuyasha smiled. "Don't remind me of your time."

"Why?" she didn't understand.

''Because it takes you away from me."

"Inuyasha...you have never been like this. But I am so happy to be with you," he hugged her.

"I've never been like this 'cause I've always been... afraid."

Kagome just kept holding him so this moment would never end.

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her. "Kagome...I think I...love you..." Inuyasha had never been so forward and open in his life!

Kagome stood back and looked at him "What did you say?"

"Kagome ...I... love you."

"Oh Inuyasha!" She threw her arms around him and almost knocked him down with the force. "I...I love you Inuyasha."

He pressed his lips to hers in a new-found passion, the thrill that they were finally together coursing through his veins.

"I love you," Kagome whispered over and over as they shared their love in the darkness.
