Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha….unfortunately

"Inuyasha, this place is beautiful." Kagome said with wide eyes. Who knew he, of all people, could find a gorgeous place like this one.

Kagome couldn't believe her eyes. 'This…this place…it's… so beautiful.'

For miles and miles, as far as the eye could see, were thousands and thousands of flowers. Tall, strong trees that made the place elegant. Bushes with many different colored buds growing from them. They, along with the help from the moon light, made the place illuminating. It made Kagome's face bright up even more. She tried to fight off a blush. 'This is kind of like a date. Him and I, all alone, together.' She fought harder and harder to make sure the blush didn't show up. 'Come on Kagome. You can do this. Calm down. Calm. Calm. Ok.'

She finally calmed down and looked at Inuyasha. "It's beautiful, really. How did you ever find a place like this?"

"Well, a year after you left…." Inuyasha looked at the ground for a second, to hide his heartache at the fact that she left, and then looked back up. "I went for a walk and saw Kikyo. She told me to follow her and she took me here."

"Oh" It was Kagome's turn to look at the ground. 'Kikyo again, huh? I guess the competition is still going on. He's probably dating her now…since I left and all. Although, there maybe a little hope. He hasn't spoken about her since I got here. No one has. In fact I haven't seen her; usually I would have run into her by now. Well it couldn't hurt to ask.' She turned to Inuyasha who was now beginning to sit down on the grass. She accompanied him on that action and sat next to him. "Uh, Inuyasha, what happened to Kikyo, I mean where is she now?"

"Why are you so interested in her all of a sudden? What are you, jealous" He gave her a playful look.

" Me? No, no. I just want to know that's all."

"Well in that case, she was finally but to rest 2 years ago, a month after she showed me this place. A priest helped put her to rest." He looked at Kagome and saw sadness in her brown eyes. "But, it's been easier to relax now that she's gone. For one thing, I don't have to worry about you guys fighting over me anymore." He smirked.

"Ha, like that was the reason that there was static between us. I mean who would want to fight over you." she chuckled.

"Kagome…"

"Yes Inuyasha?" she looked at him curiously.

He couldn't take it anymore. 'I have to tell her how I feel. That way she'll know if she leaves again. I just have to tell her'

"Kagome I… I l

"What is it?"

But he just couldn't 'Ugh! There has to be another way for me to tell her.'

Kagome was now very concerned for the dog demon. 'What's going on with him? Is he ok?'

All of a sudden she felt strong arms embrace her. She was stunned for a second, but then looked at the white hair of the man that was holding her. "Inuyasha?"

"I… I'm really glad your back. I don't know what I would have done if you were gone another year or two." He held her tighter and closer to him as he spoke. "Please don't go again. I won't be able to take it. I'll miss you too much."

Now Kagome was really shocked. 'Did that really come out of Inuyasha's mouth? Did my leave actually make him feel this way?' She was too wrapped in her thoughts that she didn't notice Inuyasha getting closer and closer to her face. 'Since he feels this way maybe he should be the first one to hear what else is special about the well. Yeah, I tell him now.' "Hey Inuyasha—mmph!"

That was it, her second kiss with Inuyasha.
