Chapter Five

Kagome

Inuyasha sent Mrs. Higurashi to bed and put Kagome in her bed and settled himself in front of her desk, preparing to sort out what had just happened in the day.

'Why, Kagome? Why had you done this for me, I'm just a worthless Hanyou?'

'Not to me you're not! I love you, and I would give up my life for you.'

'Kagome?'

'Yep!'

'How are we talking?'

'I don't know, but it reassuring you, isn't it?'

'Yes, it's very comforting to hear your voice, how can I get you back to normal?'

'Defeat Nanita, but if it gets too rough, then retreat, I don't want to live if it means you can't. I want to be with you!'

He could hear her crying 'Please don't cry, Kagome. I want to be with you, too. And there is nothing in the world that could stop me from being with you! I'll kill that damn demon-bitch, even if it means that I'll die, too!'

'If you're dead then we're not together!'

'Oh…right. I knew that!'

'I know you did. Oh, how do I look as a little kid?'

'Cute, how did I look?'

'Very cute, with your little fluffy, oversized ears!' He could hear her giggling madly.

'Hey! There was nothing wrong with my ears!'

'Of course not! Who ever said there was?'

'Shut up!'

'Thank you.'

'For what?'

'For being there for my mom.'

'Oh… it's nothing, my mom always over reacted, so I figured your mom might be the same way, that was why I was so leery about going to see her and tell what had happened. I thought she would hit me!'

'My mom wouldn't hit you!'

'I didn't know that! Oh… and your mom said some things when I first arrived.'

'I heard… is it true?'

'Uh….um… yeah.'

'FYI, it is true for me as well.'

'Really! But I'm just a half-demon, and you're a wonderful miko, and...'

'Stop saying stuff like that! You're great, and don't let anyone tell you different! Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kaede, and I couldn't care less that you're a half demon! You're a wonderful man, and wouldn't have you any other way!'

'Thank you, Kagome! I love you just the way you are, too!'

'Get some sleep, Inuyasha. You have had a rough day.'

'When can I talk to you again?'

'Tomorrow at this time, we can talk about anything, since no one can hear us.'

'Hey, since you're kind of omniscient right now, why don't you come into my dream, and we can talk there?'

'Good idea! I'll be there when you fall asleep. Sweet dreams!'

'As long as you're there.'

Inuyasha dreamed that he and Kagome were sitting on a river bank talking.

"I can't stand this! You can only be with me in my dreams right now!" Inuyasha yelled in defeat as he fell onto his back with his arms out.

"Don't worry, at least we can talk like this!" Kagome chirped happily.

"Yeah. At least we have this."

Kagome fell on her back as well, but Inuyasha put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

"Inuyasha… why can't it be like this, you know, in real life?"

"Because we're always either fighting demons, or fighting with eachother." Inuyasha sighed

"Why do we fight?"

"Koga, my pride, my stubborn attitude, your school work…" Inuyasha realized he was the reason for most of their fighting. Kagome noticed this and stopped him.

"Don't even think that you're the reason for most of our fighting!" 'Even if it can be true'.

"But it is! We wouldn't fight if it wasn't for my personality!"

"And wouldn't have you any other way, didn't I tell you this!"

"I love you, Kagome." Inuyasha leaned in and gave Kagome a passionate kiss on the lips. 'I wish this would never end, I wish we could be together for ever! Wait we can! When we get the jewel, that is what I'll wish for!'

Kagome could hear him, and it made her want to cry, 'He really does love me!' "I love you, Inuyasha."

They just laid there for a while, just holding eachother in their arms.
