I Thought You Loved Me

Chapter 10: The Truth as well as Complications

(Inuyasha's Pov.)

It took a moment for me to register everything that she told me, but every word that processed in my mind couldn't and it became hard for me to let it all in. I thought that my whole life was a lot more difficult than she claimed for hers to be and I just couldn't see her as a royal. And after she told me that she is forced to marry someone she doesn't want to marry, I sat close to her as she put her hands in her face.

That was when I wrapped my arms around her, forgetting everything else, and held her close, and tried telling her that everything will be alright. As I sat there and heard her cry which made me wish that I could take her away from everything that tries to hurt her. I held her as she cried herself to sleep and as she breathed evenly, I carried her to the bedroom and watched her most of the night until I knew she would be okay and fell asleep myself.

I woke up on a perfect Friday morning and looked down to see Kagome snuggled in my arms, puffy eyes gone and all, with a smile on her face while she was sleeping. Carefully, I got out of her embrace, got dressed, left a note, and walked out of the house. I wanted to get her something nice, but I couldn't figure out what to get her. So I went to my parent's house and rang the doorbell. My mom answered the door saying, "Inuyasha, I didn't expect you to come here without Kagome and you always bring her. Makes me miss her though..."

I laughed. "Mom, you always miss her, even when she wasn't living with me." She then smiled up at me and said, "Well yea, I do, but that doesn't mean that I can't worry about her, I mean, it was a mess the first time we met Kagome... Do you remember that?" I laugh and shake my head, "Yea I remember because dad and you scolded me something fierce over her and that was the first time I cheated on her..." I saw the look mom was giving me saying, 'Lecture later but something is on your mind' and I continued, "Anyways, the reason I came here really is that I messed up yesterday with Kagome again by cheating on her yet again-"

She was about to give me another lecture of hers but I interrupted her, "-and I'm not going to explain what happened to you, mom, I'm here to ask you what you think Kagome might like for apologies as far as flowers and such..." Mom sighed and said, "I swear sometimes, I just don't know what is up with you and you're just lucky that she hasn't left you yet... Anyways, about what Kagome likes, I'm think roses, jewelry, and something special to you and her. That is the best I can do so if you're done here is 10k. Get your ass out there and get her something. And if you left her at the house don't be too long."

After saying that, she handed me 10k and shove me out the door with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. I waved at her and took off to go buy Kagome roses, jewelry, and something special. On my way to the store, a guy with short black hair, tide back in a ponytail ran into me with as much force as he could, almost knocking me off my feet, "You dumbass! Watch where you're going!" The guy got off of me, brushed himself off and said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to run into you but I'm in a hurry, you see, I got myself into a mess-" Just then I heard a furious voice that startled me "-MMiiirrroookkkuuu! Come out here now!" I knew that voice, just wasn't sure who it came from till she came out, looking pissed.

The guy named Miroku hid behind a car and mumbled, "Don't tell her you've seen me anywhere near here..." The moment she got closer to me, the smaller I felt and then she saw me, realization crossed her features, "Inuyasha! Is that you? Jesus, it's been how many years? 5 years! I missed you! Where have you been? I mean, seriously, why haven't you called?" I smiled, still feeling even smaller, "Hey Sango, yea it's me. I could remember the last time we talked; I mean I didn't have time to see you since I've been busy with my parents and all... Oh yea, I'm still with Kagome though and yesterday I kind of did something I regret ever doing..."

Sango gave me a disapproving look, "She is such a sweetheart, what did you do this time? And have you seen my friend around here?" I started to explain the whole thing to her and when I finished she gave me the dirtiest look she could make and spoke again, "Man, how could you do that to her, I should kick your ass right now, but since she took care of it then you're forgiven on my part."

I sighed and said, "I should have called you to anyways, I talked with her yesterday and it almost broke me in two, my god... Anyways, the person you're looking for, what does he look like?" I said, pointing over my shoulder at the car behind me where he was at. She looked over my shoulder and smiled, jumping on top of him, face in the ground, in a heartbeat as I knew her to do when we were young. "Ha! I got you Miroku, you pervert!" The guy underneath her was squirming and yelling, "HHHHEEEELLLLPPPPP MMMEEE!" I looked at him and said, "Sorry man you're on your own man once you do something she doesn't like, your done..." I flinched as I watch the guy get beat up and he had got it pretty badly.

After a while of Miroku getting his beatings harshly from Sango, he went out cold. Sango glared down at him, "Serves him right for being such a pervert... Anyway what are you doing now?" She asked. She looked at me waiting for an answer. I looked at her and said, "I'm making it up to Kagome by going to the store and buying her something but I haven't decided what to buy her besides flowers..." Sango smiled and said, "Go buy her some flowers, and then buy her a necklace that you think is the one for her,"

She then waved me close to her and whispered, "I would buy her something that has hearts or butterflies on it, she love them things, I tell yah... *giggles* Just go buy her something and I'll see you later." Then she shoves me in the direction of the flower shop and I go in a buy Kagome flowers. The next thing I do is go to the jewelry shop and asked the sales person where the most expensive items with hearts and butterflies are and she leads me to the area and I look at the delicate pieces, one of them catch my eye... The piece has a heart with butterflies on the edges of it and in the middle it says, "I love you" in white and the jewel is a oceanic tint.

I point to the piece and asked for the price and she tells me, "Its is very beautiful and one of the most rare pieces, it also has a tale to it as well..." Curious I ask about the tale, She says, " The legend about this necklace is that there was a lady and a half-demon who could not be together and it involved a marriage that was not for their own, but for the young lady, so in order to be close and connected, the half-demon forged this necklace and they became entwined for life and no one could break the bond, to this day, they are still unbreakable. No matter what, nothing could stop them, you see this tale is amazing and also true. They lived happy together...but anyway, that's the tale, so what you think? You want this necklace? The price is $850s, and I can make a discount for this item for you if you want."

I smiled at the nice lady and somehow she looked familiar to me but I don't know how... I shrugged it off and said, "That would be nice." She rang it up and I paid half-price for it. I was so glad and when I got home, I saw her in bed, still asleep. I set the flowers on the drawer next to her and I took the necklace with me and gently put it in my pocket, eager for Kagome to wake up. I then began to set the table and cook...
