Unknown Forewarnings

Chapter Three: Just In Time

Inuyasha jumped out of the well. Listening closely he could hear the faint sound of a door bursting open. Next thing he heard was the loud thump and gasp as something hit the ground, along with the smell of blood.

Bursting through the well house door, the figures before him paused in their actions.

"Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome from the ground.

Before he could respond, the demon took his attention from Kagome and advanced on Inuyasha. "Stupid half-demon."

Inuyasha quickly dodged the demons attack, and drove his claws through his chest. The demon sputtered out blood. Unable to talk, the demon fell to the ground, covered in blood.

Shaking the blood off his claw, Inuyasha ran over to Kagome.

"Kagome, are you alright?" he asked her. She nodded, still looking at him questioningly. Without a second thought, Inuyasha lifted her up and took her into the house, and away from the blood soaked demon lying on the ground.

Once inside the house, Inuyasha gently set her on the couch, trying to be careful not to hurt her more. He had winced when he saw the gashes on her back, but she was sitting in front of him now, so he didn't have to see it. He could tell that her shirt was barely hanging off her shoulders, obviously from the demons claws. Hurriedly he pulled off his outer shirt and placed it around Kagome.

"Thank you" she said whisperingly. Inuyasha couldn't stand seeing her in pain. He kept replaying the dream in his mind. Seeing her dead.

Inuyasha fell to his knees in front of Kagome, and took her into a bone crushing embrace. Kagome was shocked, but she knew he had been worried about her. But that didn't make the pain subside.

"Ow" she said. Inuyasha let go immediately.

"Sorry"

"It's ok."

Inuyasha looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier. I didn't want you to get hurt."

"Don't apologize, Inuyasha. But I'm kind of surprised that you came at all. How did you know I was in trouble?"

"I had a dream. I saw you being attacked, but I was too late and you ended up dying in my arms."

Kagome could see the pain in his eyes. "Oh Inuyasha. I'm so sorry."

"For what?" he asked sounding shocked.

"For making you worry. I know you need me to find the jewel shards." She smiled sadly looking down at her own feet.

Inuyasha's mouth was slightly open. She thought that he only cared about the jewel shards.

'Wait,' he thought to himself. 'If that dream that he had was real, than if things had gone that way, she would have told him that she loved him.'

Lifting her face up with one hand, Inuyasha looked into Kagome's eyes. "Kagome I care about you. Not the jewel shards, not about becoming a full demon. Only you."

Kagome couldn't speak. 'Is he saying what I think he's saying?'

"Kagome you're more than just a shard detector. You're everything to me. I love you more than anything in this world and my own."

"What?"

"I love you Kagome." Sitting still, Kagome was shocked to say the least. Finally collecting her thoughts and voice, she grabbed onto his hands with her own, smiling at him.

"I love you too Inuyasha. I always have." Inuyasha grinned.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I was too stupid to tell you." Kagome shook her head.

"I was the stupid one. Not you."

Inuyasha smiled. He leaned forward kissing Kagome gently, almost teasingly. "Maybe we were both being stupid." Kissing her again, he thought one thing.

You never really know what you got until it's gone. And he had experienced it first hand. Luckily for him, he saved her in time.

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long to update. I couldn't help it.

I've been trying to think of some way to make Inuyasha realize his feelings once he loses her. But I didn't want her to die. I wanted to make this a horror/tragedy fic but I didn't want it to be gross. Believe me, if I had made it horror, there'd be nothing left of the characters once I was through with them. So after much thinking, I came up with this. Hope you liked it. And I really hope you review. Please! I would be forever grateful. And I'll reply if you want. Got any questions? I'm sure I can answer them. So thank you to those who did review, and I hope you will continue to do so.
