Chapter 2: The truth revealed
" You're hopeless without Kagome." Miroku said, bending over to him.
" I agree with Miroku." Shippo said.
"YEAH? AND SO WHAT IF I NEED HER? WHY DO YOU CARE?" InuYasha bellowed at them.
The group stared at them for a few minutes until InuYasha walked out of sight and headed towards the forest.
' Kikyou means nothing to me anymore. Nothing! I never felt this way around her, but why is Kagome so important to me now too? Do I love her? She's just the re-incarnation of Kikyou! Nothing else!' InuYasha thought, leaning against his tree. He knew he was lying. She wasn't just ' Nothing', she was something all right, but he couldn't put his finger on it. ' Kagome....' He wanted to hold her right now, even if the consequence was to be ' sitted'.
MEANWHILE
Toma had looked around herself 'Nothing but trees.' She had said to herself, but then she spotted a dog-demon, no, a half demon with dog-ears.
"Oh, InuYasha!" Kagome said running over to him.
His ears perk a little. 'Kagome...its you.... I was just thinking about you....' He wanted to say that, but his mouth said something else.
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU, WOMAN?" He bellowed at her, making her wince.
"I-I-I'm sorry InuYasha...Don't be mad!" She said leaning into his chest and playing with his ears. 'His one weakness' She thought. ' He can't stay mad forever, can he?'
He froze while she played with his ears. Noticing this, Toma smiled and laughed.
"Heh, young love."
" NANI???" They both said, looking at each other in disgust.
' But I think its true...' InuYasha thought, now lost in his mind. ' I think I love her, but how would she re-act? Would she go home because she doesn't want to see me, or because she's embarrassed? Would she return the love? I don't know anymore. Its not like she's a book, I can't just read her!'
" Um...InuYasha? Are you there?" Kagome said, now concerned.
' I have to tell her tonight... no matter what... even if she doesn't return my feelings.'
"InuYasha? Are you-" Cut off by InuYasha grabbing her and kissing her.
' InuYasha? What are you doing? Why are you kissing me and why am I enjoying it?' She thought as she pulled away from his.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She yelled at him.
Just now realizing what he did.
"I-I-I'm sorry Kagome. I was lost in a moment and-" He said, now cut off by her, randomly kissing him back.
'Why are you kissing me now? Does this mean she likes me back?'
' InuYasha...I love you...Even if you don't like me back.'
She lets go of him.
" I told you, you love one another." Toma said, not wanting to stay forgotten.
"GAH!" They both said at the same time. They forgot all about Toma.
"Feh, who cares what you said, baka!" InuYasha said.
"I care what I think!"' She bellowed back at him.
"Yea? Well, I don't!"
"Well, you should!"
"Just shut up, wench!"
" Damn half demons!" She says and storms away.
" InuYasha? We should go back to the others...you know, before they start to worry." She was blushing deeply and he could tell even with her head bent down. InuYasha wasn't as embarrassed as her, he was enjoying himself. 'Maybe it's just a girl thing.' He thought walking down the path with her by his side. He looked over and saw her looking up at him with a blank expression.
"What?"
"Oh!" She said, snapping out of it. "Nothing!" That time she said it in a singsong voice.
" Yeah right! I don't believe you!"
"WHAT? Can't I daydream?"
"If you look like that, no!"
"Whats wrong with the way the look?"
"Never mind..." He mumbles and keeps walking.
She watched him walk for minute or so.
"Ah! InuYasha!" She ran up next to him and gently clutched his sleeve.
They were getting close to Sango and Miroku. They could tell because they could hear them arguing loudly.
SLAP!
" Dammit Miroku, keep your hands to yourself!" Sango yelled in the distance
Kagome stared at InuYasha for a minute and smiled. She then faced forward and started walking straight. InuYasha on the other hand, looked over at her. Thinking they far enough from Sango and the others, InuYasha looked over at Kagome.
"Um...InuYasha? Why are you staring at me?" She asked while blushing deeply.
He just smiled and looked away.
"Its nothing Kagome."
"Tell me, InuYasha." She says softly.
"No."
"Please InuYasha?" She said clinging to his arm.
"I...I just thought you looked cute is all." He said, blushing slightly.
She stared at him while he kept walking.
"You know...I think you're pretty cute too. Well, cute in a manly way." She said awkwardly. ' He probably thinks I'm a total idiot! That was so awkward-'
InuYasha suddenly turning around and putting a hand on her cheek cut off her thoughts.
"Inu...Yasha!" She said, shocked he would even make a move if he liked her.
"I'm sorry Kagome." He said, taking his hand off her cheek and starting to walk again.
" Don't be. To be honest, I didn't mind." She said, seeing him turn around and looking back at her. She closed her eyes and smiled at him.
InuYasha stared at her, mesmerized by her smile. He couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her and held her tight.
"Kagome?......... I-I-I-I love you." He said
