7 Days
Day 6
Kagome woke up first and she looked down at Inuyasha where had fallen
asleep, curled into a ball and was all tangled up in his sleeping bag. Kagome
stifled a giggle as she looked at him; sometimes he was just too cute.
"I been to busy to fix up my list, now is the perfect time to do so" thought
Kagome moving silently so as not to wake Inuyasha, and grabbed her yellow
bag. She grabbed a new uniform and some soap so she could wash up in the
stream. Last of all she pulled out her list and snuck off with one last look
toward Inuyasha. She wants to the same stream that she came back from last
night, only to discover that Inuyasha and Kikyou were…kissing. Kagome
was still a little suspicious of what actually happened but she remembered
what Inuyasha had said to her that night.
"Kagome, Kikyou kissed me but I didn't kiss back, I am staying here with
you"
Kagome sighed as she remembered
"I wonder if he meant now or forever?"
She remembered those feelings the words gave her, love, trust and …hope.
Hope that he would stay with her and not go with Kikyou, but she knew him
better than that. Kagome shook her self from those terrible thoughts
"I will enjoy the time we have now, and not think about the future" she
smiled and continued to the stream. When Kagome finally got there and took
a quick glance around to make sure she wasn't being watched she undressed
and hoped into the stream.
"Geez, I didn't realize how cold this stream was" Kagome thought as she
shivered. Kagome washed up as fast as she could and jumped out. She dried
herself and got dressed, and then she took her old uniform and washed it too.
Oncethat was all said and done she picked up the extra water skins she had
brought and filled them up. Finally she got down to her list.
"Hmm…ok, cross this off, done this, ok, all done" She stated once the list
was completed, and she realized she had already done most of the things.
"Well, I guess I'll lay off because of last night, I know I lost" Kagome said
aloud and none the less kept the list for reasons she didn't know why.

"Well the only thing I haven't done is tell him my feelings, but I don't think
I have the nerve"
Kagome sighed she would try but she didn't think it would help. Kagome
gathered her things and headed back to camp, but when she got there she
was surprised when she saw the camp. Inuyasha had cleaned up all their
things, rolled up the sleeping bags and started a fire, and was waiting
patiently for her to return.
"Wow Inuyasha, guess you really wanna get back huh?" Kagome asked with
just a hit of sadness in her voice.
"Yeah, I wanna see everyone and make sure that their ok, I guess" said Inuyasha turning away from her.
"Oh, I see well what say we skip breakfast and head home, I'm not hungry anyway" said Kagome more chipper than she felt.
Kagome went to grab her bag but was pulled down but a hand right into
something soft and warm. She turned around and found herself face to face
with Inuyasha and she realized that she was sitting in his lap.
"Umm,…Inuyasha are you o…" Kagome started when she was interrupted
but Inuyasha.
"No! We are having breakfast and then we will go, I want to make sure
you're well enough to travel"
"But Inuyasha, I'm really fine, I feel great"
"I don't care, will have breakfast and then we will go"
Kagome smiled at him and got up to start breakfast, once they had finished
they were on the way. The couple continued to walk for about two hours
occasionally making small talk but both were engrossed in their own
thoughts. Finally they came upon the village limits and Kagome squeaked.
"Look were here, we finally made it back"
"Kagome get on, we can run back, I think I can do it now" said Inuyasha.
Kagome nodded and hoped on and they ran the rest of the way, Kagome
wondering if she would ever be able to do this with him again. Within a
matter of seconds they were standing in front Kaede's hut. "Kagome,
Inuyasha you're back" said a small kitsune running at Kagome. Kagome
caught him in mid air "Shippo, I've missed you so much" Kagome said
hugging him tightly to her. Then Sango and Miroku emerged from inside the
tiny hut
"Priestess Kaede come and see they have returned" called Miroku into the hut. Soon came and elderly lady carrying a basket of herbs on her side.
"Aye, so ye have returned, we feared you lost, come inside and tell of ye travels" she said walking back into the hut to continue her work.
"Kagome, I'm so glad you are ok and returned home safely" said Sango hugging her friend.
"Yes, Lady Kagome it's a pleasure to have you safe again" said Miroku reaching around to touch
her but when Sango screamed
"HENTAI" and hit Miroku on the head leaving a nice size bump. Miroku
rubbed his head and smiled at the girls while Inuyasha was growling at him.
The girls walked inside laughing about this and that, conversing happily.
Miroku and Inuyasha were the only ones left outside.
"So Inuyasha six day with Kagome, what took you so long huh?' asked
Miroku with a lecherous glint in his eyes and on his face a perverted look on
his face.
Inuyasha scowled "Nothing perverted Miroku, we were injured and took us
a long time", he said as they went inside. Kagome and Inuyasha sat down
side by side and Inuyasha didn't miss the look Miroku gave him, and they
began to re-tell their story. They told all the details only omitting certain
intimate parts that they thought to old for young and perverted ears to hear.
By the time they had finished, it was night fall and they had had supper, the
four walked outside to stretch their legs from sitting all day talking about
what has happened to each of them over the last week. Deciding to stretch
some more the boys decided to go for a walk and the girls were left behind.
"Hey Kagome let's go take a bath I know you probably wanna get cleaned up and we can talk"
"Ok, I'd love to, let me grab my things" responded Kagome jumping up and
grabbing things out of her bags. What Kagome failed to notice was her list
was also dislodged in the process, falling to the ground next to her bag.
Sango and Kagome had run off s a short time later to the hot springs and
were already getting into the warm, soothing water when the boys came
back from their walk. Miroku went strait inside to speak with Kaede, and to
inquire about the girl's whereabouts which Kaede would not reveal.
Inuyasha sat down by Kagome's things, rubbing a hand over the soft fabric
of her backpack thinking about Kagome and Kikyou very troubled.
"What should I do" thought Inuyasha very confused
"Choose Kagome, she loves you for you"
"Who are you?"
"I'm you conscience trying to help you"
"Oh, I see, but I promised Kikyou, she's…"
"She's already dead; there is nothing you can do for her now"
"Yea, but Kikyou…I mean…a"
"You LOVE Kagome, Love her, what more do you need?"
That's when Inuyasha hands fell no a piece of paper. He picked up the paper
and read it and smiled.
"Well I guess I made my decision" said Inuyasha aloud to no one in
particular as he shot up and sped off into the forest after the soul collectors
he saw in the forest. He knew that she was there waiting for him and he
planed to tell her his decision. Sango and Kikyou had returned to camp after
a nice time in the springs and Sango went inside to put her things away and
Kagome stayed outside. Kagome saw Inuyasha shoot off into the forest and
she knew where he was going. Kagome felt hot tears rise but would not give
in, she held them back and smiled.
"I guess he made his decision" she thought and went inside to her friends pretending like nothing
was wrong.
"Goodbye Inuyasha" said a voice.
