Chapter 5: Suddenly Shy
Inuyasha paced impatiently around the well in the feudal era. What was taking Kagome so long? He should have just carried her back with him, instead of letting her go off to school all day.
Inuyasha's anxiety was caused by his desire to see Kagome again, but it was also caused by his nervousness about seeing her. He wasn't sure how to act around her now that she knew that he loved her. The whole dynamic of their relationship had changed.
The nearest tree had already long many of its branches to Inuyasha's frustration without lessening it at all. The only solution to his dilemma would be to see Kagome without their emotions charged and see what had changed. But for that he would still have to wait.
The last bell rang and Kagome shot out of the building, not even bothering to stop by her locker. She raced back to the shrine, and all she could think of was being with Inuyasha.
She reached the well and barely stopped to vault over the side. As soon as she hit the floor on the other side of the time-slip, she scrambled up the wall.
"Took you long enough." Inuyasha grumbled as her head appeared. He jumped up and swept her the rest of the way out of the well and into a kiss.
As they broke off the lingering kiss, though, both got suddenly shy. Kagome drew back, biting her lip, and Inuyasha shuffled and stared at his feet.
To halt the growing silence, Kagome threw out "So, now what?" It was strange to feel so nervous around Inuyasha, since he had always made her feel so comfortable.
"I don't know either." replied Inuyasha sheepishly, and then they both started chuckling at their circumstances. They finally had what they had wanted for so long, each other, but now they didn't know what to do next.
Author's Note: I know that these two chapters aren't as good as the first three, but I'm not a good writer in general, they were just inspired. Any suggestions for the story will be respectfully listened to!
