Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

The car stopped and Inuyasha got out and went over to my side of the car. He opened my door and held out a hand for me to take.

"Very…Gentlemen like," I said, cautiously taking his hand and getting out of the car.

Once out of the car I let go of his hand and we walked into the restaurant. It wasn't a fancy restaurant but it wasn't un-fancy either, it was somewhere in between.

The waiter brought us to our table and we ordered soon after.

"So what's up with you and Kouga?" Inuyasha asked, bringing us out of silence.

"You mean are we together?" He nodded. "No."

"Oh," he said more happy than sad.

Once again we went back to silence.

Soon after our food arrived and we ate in peace. I was busy staring at my plate, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see Inuyasha was busy staring at me.

I slowly looked up at him.

"You've been very…quiet," I pointed out.

"And?"

"That isn't like you."

"Well then let's talk," he suggested.

"My brother was asking about you," I told him, trying to get a conversation going.

"Really?"

"He asked why you were never around anymore."

"What did you say?"

"I dodged the question," I admitted.

He nodded.

"He really likes you, you know?"

"Yeah. I just wish someone else could like me to," he said looking down at his plate.

It was very weird being here with him. He wasn't acting like he usually does; he was acting more like the Inuyasha I used to love. I am being to think that coming here with him, might not have been such a bad thing. For once, I'm not focusing on his flaws, just him as a person and now I realize what Sango was talking about.

"Why do you still have that?" he said, pointing to my wrist.

The bracelet. I didn't really know myself why I had it or why I was wearing it for that matter. I thought a little longer before answering.

"It reminds me of the good times we've had."

"We had a lot of them," he said half smiling.

"I don't know which we've had more of, good or bad."

"I say good, because no time I spend with you is ever bad."

I blushed and adverted my gaze downward, away from his face. It's crazing how he can still make me feel like this.

After Inuyasha paid for the bill, we left. He said that there was one more part to our little date and that I was going to love it.

I stared out the window and we soon came to the beach. It was about mid-night and we were at the beach?

"Why are we here?" I asked him as we got out of the car.

"To watch the sun rise in a couple hours."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" he asked.

"This. The date."

"I said I would tell you after and I will."

"Fine," I said stubbornly.

"Come on," he said taking my hand and pulling me towards the water.

We have been walking on the beach for a couple hours now, just talking about random things that came to mind. I was staring down at the sand beneath my now bare feet.

"Why did you jump into the pool and take me with you at Sango's last party?" I asked.

"I knew it would bug you," he admitted.

I rolled my eyes.

Suddenly Inuyasha stopped walking so I stopped walking to. I was about to look up but he put a finger under my chin and lifted my lips up to his.

At first I was surprised by his actions and was thinking to pull him away, and then I thought about what he said.

Another chance. I thought.

I slowly kissed back and I could feel him smile against my lips as he slipped a tongue into my mouth. His arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer, the other hand still with one finger propping up my chin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave up all reason as to why not to kiss him.

When we broke apart, the sun was slowly coming over the horizon. His eyes looking even more intense in the new light.

We sat down on the sand and looked at the colors of the rising sun. After a little while my head became heavy as I got tired. Inuyasha saw my eyes start to droop and pushed my head onto his shoulder and wrapped his arm around me.

This, in so many ways, is what I wanted. Kouga was wrong, I did lose Inuyasha, but he was also right because Inuyasha lost me.

I woke up to find myself in my bedroom with Inuyasha sitting on the end of my bed watching TV.

"Morning," he greeted without looking back at me.

"When did you bring me home?" I asked, not remembering when I fell asleep.

"About an hour ago. You fell asleep while the sun was rising so I carried you to the car and brought you home," he explained.

"Thanks."

"Your brother convinced me to stay for breakfast, and your mom told me I could wait in your room."

"My brother looks up to you," I said smiling as I saw my door open.

"Inuyasha, are you going to start coming over more?" Souta asked jumping onto my bed.

"Ask your sister," he stated, looking at me with a smirk.

"Is he?" Souta pushed.

"Depends."

"On?" Inuyasha asked me.

"On why you brought me on a date in the first place."

"Sango told me what you thought happened in our past, and I never said those things to you so I thought I would prove to you that I still am the old Inuyasha and that I never hurt you like you said."

"Inuyasha, you were standing there and you said those things that broke my heart forever. It was your voice and everything."

"It wasn't me," he defended.

"Then who was it?" I asked, getting annoyed.

"Someone who can shape shift?" he suggested.

"Just get out," I whispered.

"What?"

"Get out."

"I showed you that it wasn't me," he said.

"No, you showed me that you can be decent not that it wasn't you."

"Kagome-"

"Out!" I screamed.

He left and I felt bad that I made that look come to his face that I only saw when people made fun of him being a hanyou. He made me feel like the bad guy here when it wasn't me.

The next day I was sitting in the living room watching TV when the door bell rang. It was Saturday so I was still in my P.J.s. I lazily got up and walked over to the door. I opened it to reveal the last person I wanted to see: Inuyasha.

"What are you doing here?" I spat.

"You said you would give me another chance, and since those words left your mouth, I haven't done anything wrong."

"You denied doing what you did," I pointed out.

"Kagome, you've got to believe me, it wasn't me."

"What happened to you hating me? Can't we go back to those times when we didn't have the nerve to talk to one another?"

"No."

"And why not?" I challenged angrily

"Because…I let myself get to close and now I can't just pull away."

"What are you talking about?"

"Kagome, you have no reason why I hated you do you?"

I shook my head aimlessly.

"Those things that you thought that I said to you, well you said them to me."

"No I didn't."

"Exactly. I didn't say them to you but a person who looked like me did," he explained.

"I don't believe you. You are just trying to get close to me so you can hurt me again."

"Kagome, let me prove it to you. Give me a week and after that if you still don't believe me, I will leave you alone forever."

"And if I don't let you prove it to me?"

"I'll always be around, getting you to let me," he said like it was no big deal.

"Fine, one week," I agreed.

"Starting tomorrow?"

"Sure," I confirmed.

He gently kissed my cheek and left, leaving me there in silence. One week in order to rid my life of Inuyasha forever. I felt my cheek where his lips just touched. I can't be falling for him again. I won't let myself get hurt for the third time.

Still need an Inuyasha, Shesshomaru, Kouga, Naraku and Kikyo for the RPG if you're interested.
