Chapter 3

After a few seconds of shock Kagome kissed him back before pulling away.

"Kagome, that was beautiful. Have you ever sang for anyone else?"

She shook her head, "No, just you, Sango and Miroku."

"Wow, you're really good."

"I am?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't you be?"

"Because I'm not good at anything else." She looked down at her hands like they were suddenly interesting.

"Well, I don't know about that, but from what I can tell you're a good kisser."

"Like that even matters, no guy is going to want a girl with as many problems as I have, no matter how good of a kisser I am."

"What if I knew someone who did?"

Kagome stood up and went to sit on her bed. "Yeah right, plus even if you did, it would be easier for me if they understood what I'm going through with my dad."

InuYasha stood up, getting angry that she wouldn't even listen to him. "You know what Kagome, just nevermind. I'm leaving. I'll see you tomorrow."

She didn't even answer as he walked out of her room, down the stairs and out the door. Kagome knew she had upset him, but at the moment she didn't care. She knew she was pushing away probably the only guy who cared about her that wasn't Miroku, but she was too upset to give two shits so she just cried herself to sleep like always.

The next morning she was late for school and was just having a bad day. InuYasha wouldn't even look at her or even act like she existed. Before heading to fifth period Kagome stopped by her locker and found two notes.

The first one read;

|My black haired whore,

Just because you broke up with me doesn't mean I am done with you, because I'm not. You will be mine again and you will stay that way forever, my darling. Talk to you soon. –Naraku|

Kagome started shaking and tried to read the second note that read;

|Kagome,

I am sorry I walked out yesterday, I just don't like that you kept putting yourself down. Please meet me at your locker after school. –Your friend Inu|

She calmed herself down and quietly finished her day so she could talk to InuYasha. As soon as the bell rang after her last class Kagome ran to her locker. When she got there she hugged him.

I'm so sorry InuYasha. I never should've acted like that and I never should've acted like you didn't care. I'm sorry I did."

InuYasha hugged her back and kissed her hair, "Kagome, its okay don't apologize. I know what you're going through with your dad. I promise I do."

She pulled back from the hug to look at him, "How?"

"I lost my mom 3 years ago."

"Oh… I'm sorry Inu."

"It's okay. How was your day?"

She just closed her eyes and shook her head trying to forget about the note Naraku left in her locker. "It was fine."

"No, I can tell by the look on your face something's wrong. What is it?"

"Nothing." She said as she headed towards her house, not noticing that something fell out of her back pocket. InuYasha noticed and quickly picked it up and read it. He then understood why she was acting so weird. He ran up and started walking beside her. She looked over at him and gave him a light smile.

"Hey Kagome, can we talk?"

"Sure, what about?"

"I meant privately."

"Oh um… okay let's go to my room."

When they got inside her room they sat on her bed and InuYasha looked at her.

"So um… InuYasha, what did you want to talk about?"

"Kagome, I know why you're acting the way you are."

She raised her eyebrows, "And that is?"

"I found the note Naraku wrote you."

Kagome's eyes widened, "You did? How?"

"It fell out of your pocket."

"Oh." She said as she looked at the ground.

InuYasha put his index finger under her chin forcing her to look at him, "I'm not going to let him hurt you, I promise. I will protect you."

"InuYasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you a question seriously?"

"Sure."

"Why do you can what happens to me?"

He sighed, "Because I care about you. I think you are absolutely amazing. That is why I was so mad yesterday."

Kagome held his hand in both of hers, "Really?"

He nodded, "Yeah, I really like you actually."

She smiled and leaned over lightly brushing her lips against his. She whispered in his ear, "I really like you too, Inu."

InuYasha's eyes widened, "Seriously Kags?"

Kagome nodded and InuYasha pulled her to him, putting his arms around her waist and kissed her. She responded by wrapping her arms around his neck and let his tongue explore her mouth. A few minutes later they pulled apart gasping for air.

InuYasha laid his forehead against hers, "Well can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Will you go out with me?" He asked her quietly.

"Yes Inu. I will."

He picked her up and kissed her hard. When they pulled apart InuYasha just held her tight against his chest until she pulled back to look him in the eyes.

"I have something you might want to know beforehand."

"What's that?"

"About a month after Naraku raped me I found out I was pregnant. Roughly 8 months later I gave birth to a little girl named Rin. She lives with my cousin Kagura who is 25 and also has a daughter from a previous marriage named Kanna. Kanna is 3 years old while Rin is 9 months old. Even though I don't actually get to raise her right now, Rin has been around me enough to know I am her mommy and Kagura is her aunt. I am with her most of my free time."

InuYasha looked at Kagome. 'I swear this girl is amazing. Her getting through her dad's death, the rape and having a baby just shows how amazing she is. She had been through so much, yet she is still so amazingly put together.' He gave her a light kiss on her forehead.

"I would be honored if you would let me meet your daughter one day."

Kagome laid her head on his chest, "I would love for you to meet her. I was actually going to go see her tonight if you want to go with me."

He kissed the top of her head, "I would love to."

Kagome looked at him with a twinkle in her eyes that he had never seen before.

After dinner Kagome changed her outfit before calling Kagura to make sure it was okay for her to go over there to visit Rin. Once they arrived a little girl with white hair and black eyes opened the door.

"Hi Auntie K. Mommy is changing Rin's diaper. She told me to tell you to take a seat and she will be here in a minute.

Kagome picked the little girl up and let out a little laugh.

"Well thank you for telling me that Kanna. I have someone I want you to meet."

She turned around and looked at InuYasha, "This is InuYasha he is one of my friends from school. I brought him over so he could me you, your mommy and Rin."

Kanna looked at InuYasha for a few seconds before opening her arms asking him to hold her. He looked at Kagome and she smiled.

"Just hold her. You'll be fine."

He took her out of Kagome's arms and Kanna laughed. "I like him Auntie. Is he going to stay around forever?"

Kagome looked InuYasha in the eyes, "I sure hope so."

InuYasha held Kanna in one arm and wrapped his other around Kagome's waist, kissing her forehead. At just that time a woman with dark brown hair and red eyes came down the stairs with a baby in her arms. As soon as the little girl that had black hair and brown eyes saw Kagome, she smiled and giggled while reaching for Kagome. Kagome smiled and laughed before giving the woman a hug and taking the small child in her arms. She cuddled the little girl against her chest and kissed her on the top of the head. Kanna began to struggle in InuYasha's arms so he put her down and she ran to Kagura, hugging her legs. InuYasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder looking down at the little beauty. Kagome turned her head and kisses InuYasha's cheek.

"Do you want to hold her?"

He was skeptical at first but slowly nodded his head. Kagome and InuYasha sat down on the couch while InuYasha held Rin. He just held her and looked at her like she was his own, and that made Kagome's heart soar. A few minutes later Rin fell asleep in her arms both InuYasha and Kagome just watched her. A little while later Kagura took Rin to her crib so she could continue sleeping.

While they were walking back to Kagome's shrine house InuYasha wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her temple.

"She is absolutely precious Kags."

"Thank you Inu. She is my world, I love her so much. I just wish I actually got to raise her myself even though Kagura is doing a great job."

"Yeah, that's understandable. Why isn't she living with you at the shrine?"

"Because Naraku doesn't know about Rin, plus I do not have a job to support me and a baby. I would be a terrible mother, and Naraku will never find out.

All of a sudden InuYasha smelled gunpowder and two seconds later he head a gunshot.
