Chapter 12

After she was done reciting the poem Inuyasha kisses her passionately.

"Inuyasha I am so glad that you came back" Kagome said cuddling in his embrace, as she fell asleep.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha said with a smile I thought I'd never be able to hold her in my arms again! Inuyasha thought.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said with her eyes closed half asleep.

"What is it Kagome?" He said pushing her hair out of her face.

"Lets not let anyone know about us yes okay?" Kagome asked before passing out into slumber.

"yes lets not. No one but Souta since he already knows." Inuyasha said kissing her forehead.

"mhmm" Kagome nodded now into a deep slumber.

She heard me even though she is asleep. I guess its true what they say, when you're really connected with someone they hear you know matter where they are or how deep

a sleep they're in. Inuyasha thought to himself Kagome will never have to take medication again for mental problems because she never had any she just missed me and it

doesn't help that her father ran off not too long after I left and then her mother died because of head tumors and a heartache. I don't want Kagome to suffer the same Fate,

I'll always be by her side. he thought. "Kagome there is no mountain to high no river to wide just sing out my name and I'll be by your side." Inuyasha whispered in her ear,

she sighed in relief in her sleep. Wow she heard me I guess it is true.

After ten minutes Inuyasha fell asleep as hours passed they layed there Kagome on Inuyasha's shoulder and Inuyasha's head on top of Kagome's. Then the sun started to

set when Kagome woke to find Inuyasha sleeping ontop of her just as she was. She looked out the little window in front of them

"Oh my God! Its sunset Inuyasha." Kagome said startled and shook Inuyasha awake. "Inuyasha its sunset we slept all day! We have to get home Souta is probably

wondering where we are right now!" Kagome said putting on her shoes and started to clean up a bit.

"Kagome, don't worry Souta knows that your safe with me so slow down and take your time." Inuyasha said trying to slow her down.

"Inuyahsa thats not just it! look at the time!" She said shoving her watch in his face.

"It's 5:30...so?" Inuyasha said kissing her hand.

"So? SO!? so the coffee lounge opends in a half hour and I have to set up!!" Kagome said putting Inuyasha's hat on his head and started to move towards the doorway and

climb down the ladder. "Uh Inuyasha? A little help please I'm a little scared of dangling like 15 feet above the ground from a tree.

Inuyasha giggled and put her on his back and carried her down. They walked hand in hand back to Kagome's house. As they made their way to the door they started

kissing.

"Hey whats going on outside?" Kohaku opened the door to reveal a pair of lovebirds in mid kiss. Everyone started to stare at the pair. Miroku broke the silence.

"what are you two doing?"

Inuyasha and Kagome just stood there dumbfounded.

"Kagome whats going on?" Sango asked her long time friend.

"no..nothing!"

"The medication must have made her go nuts." Kohaku said about to go get the staight jacket.

"no I'm fine really." Kagome said starting to glisten.

"Souta you knew about Inuyasha and I? didnt you?" Kagome said shocked that everyone saw them kissing when Inuyasha and her agreed not to tell anyone well cats out

of the bag. Kagome gasped and her jaw dropped to the floor.

"we both did" Inuyasha said bowing his head and let his bangs shade his eyes. Everyone including Kagome just stood there dumbfounded.

"this is too much"Sango said "Lets go sit down."

Souta the last one shut the door and locked it. He went to go sit down as everyone watchedhim intently. Kagome looking at Inuyasha with tears in her eyes shaking from

the shock. Inuyasha looking down his eyes shaded by his bangs trying to avoid Kagome's questioning eyes. Kohaku staring at Souta with a raised eyebrow.

Souta took a deep breath getting ready to speak.

" Kagome I'm so sorry." Inuyasha spoke just before Souta was able to speak.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered in his doggy ear. Inuyasha twitched his ear and pulled Kagome into a tight embrace.

" I'm so sorry Kagome I caused you to become 'sick' because I left and then your mother died and your dad left you guys and all you had was Souta to take care of you,

and he worked so many jobs just to keep you from being taken away. Then you got sick and need medication, which made it harder all because of me you had to suffer!"
