Chapter 3: Answers
"Kagome?.........I-I-I-I love you." He said.
She stared at him for a few minutes before answering him.
"I-I love you too InuYasha. I really do." She said, tears welling up in her eyes while embracing with him. "But...why didn't you tell me sooner? I would've listened to you."
"I was afraid of you're response, Kagome." He said, burying his head in her hair. "I was afraid you didn't feel the same. I was afraid you'd reject me."
"How could you think that? I gave you so many hints and you thought I'd reject you? Why exactly?" She said, leaning against his shoulder, crying slightly.
He looked up and saw a single tear fall down her cheek.
"Kagome..." He said, wiping the tear off her face. "I was afraid you wouldn't believe me because of Kikyou. I...I'm not in love with her, she means nothing to me anymore. I...I don't know what she means to me anymore." He says as he buries his face back into her hair.
' Kikyou.' Kagome thought. That hurt her even more. How can he all of a sudden stop loving Kikyou? InuYasha loved her for more than 50 years, mind you, he was sleeping most of that time, but that wasn't the point. He must've still loved her. Why else would he keep bringing this up?
MEANWHILE
Sango stood up.
"Damn. It's getting late, where do you think InuYasha and Kagome are?" She said, looking at Miroku.
"Frolicking in the forest?" He said quietly.
"You know they wouldn't, not yet at least." She said, glaring at him for a moment and then turning her attention towards the sky.
"Are you taking my side on this then?" He asked the demon-slayer.
"I'm in between." She said, not bothering to look at him.
Miroku stared at her until the silence broke by Sango's shriek.
"DAMN PERVERTED MONK!" She yelled at him. "WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS TOUCH ME?"
"Sorry, it's the demons in my hand, you should know that by now Sango."
"Yeah, demons, right. I know you want me!" She joked until Miroku wrapped his arms around her waist.
"And what would you say if you were right?"
"Miroku? ......You can't be serious!" She said, blushing deeply.
"Oh? And why can't I? Just because I can be perverted, doesn't mean I can't be serious." He said, not letting go. "I love you Sango, I really do. And I want you to love me back"
Sango was shocked.
"How can you love me? This is a joke, Miroku, it has to be!" She said, turning to walk away and find the hanyou and Kagome.
Miroku grabbed her arm and held onto it.
"Its just possible, okay?" He said, leaning into her back. He wanted her to know how he felt, even if she didn't feel the same.
"Okay Miroku. I believe you. I guess...I guess my heart was afraid of rejection. I ...... I love you Miroku. Or, I think its love. Every time I was gonna tell you, that hand started up again!"
Miroku blinked then smiled.
"I'm sorry. Your body's so sexy, I just couldn't resist." He joked, making her giggle a little bit.
MEANWHILE
"InuYasha, how can you not know?" Tears were starting to form in her eyes again as she stared at him. His gaze met hers and he leaned down to kiss her. She kissed him back and blinked with two tears falling down her cheek.
"InuYasha, I don't understand. Tell me. Tell me how you feel about her!"
"I... I told you, she's no longer important to me. Now lets go back to Kaede's hut." He said, getting up and holding out a hand.
She stared at his hand then her gaze turned to his eyes. She nodded and grabbed his hand.
"Lets go."
