Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.

The whole rest of the day it felt like Inuyasha and I were the only ones in the world. We just sat there talking and catching up. We were reconnecting ourselves and getting closer than we were before…That's what scared me though. Getting close to him, that even scared me, but getting closer than we were would make me even more vulnerable to whatever gets thrown at me next. I could barely take the first time and if it happens again…I'm going to be broken for good. The thing in is, though, I can't stop myself from getting close again. My mind is screaming at me to run away and go find someone else, but yet I stay, just talking to him…getting close.

When I talk to him, I feel safe. Today made me wonder why we ever became enemies in the first place because we are so alike we could be the same person.

Today, it felt like I was awaking myself or like I hadn't been alive since Junior High. I laughed, and talked, and didn't have a care in the world. All there was, all there ever was, was me and Inuyasha. It felt like we made time stop just so we could catch up. Like we could erase all the bad things and just sit there and laugh. Like we were invincible. It felt…nice. I guess since I haven't really talked to Inuyasha since we broke apart before this year, I forgot what it was like to be with him. To laugh with him. To talk with him. There were no rules, no restrictions, nothing existed but us. That was the best feeling in the world.

"Kagome! Where have you been?!" my mom yelled when I got in the house.

"Sorry! I fell asleep at Inuyasha's house last night and then I was with him till now," I apologized sincerely.

"I thought you hated him?" Souta piped in.

"Not anymore. Your ultimate hero found his way back on my good side," I smirked at Souta.

"YES!" he yelled before running upstairs.

"Oh, well if you were with Inuyasha then it's okay," my mom said with a smile as she walked away.

How can they trust him so much when I still have trouble trusting him now? I thought as I shook my head and walked upstairs.

I sighed as I fell onto my bed and lay there, staring at the ceiling, thinking.

I heard a knock at my door and sat up to find Sango staring at me. I waved for her to come in and she sat beside me on the bed.

"Your mom said that you were finally home!" she exclaimed sarcastically. "Have fun with Inuyasha?"

"For the most part," I said with a smile.

"For the most part?" she asked.

"I still don't know if I can trust him enough to let him close to me again," I admitted.

"Inuyasha's a good guy, Kagome, otherwise I would've already kicked his butt," Sango laughed jokingly. "I understand your doubts…but I don't think he'll hurt you again."

"Can you be 100 sure though?" I challenged her.

"Think about all he's done to get you to trust him again. Do you think he would do all that just to make you miserable again?"

I thought about the dates, the flowers, the kisses, Souta, today…everything.

"But he's-"

"Kagome, you don't let many people close to you and I'm aware of that, it's just…You've known Inuyasha your whole life and for most of your life, he was always there for you. Go back to before whatever happened between you and think about what that meant to you," she suggested, "And then, if you still don't think you can trust him, I won't push you anymore..." She trailed off, obviously wanting me to think about what she just said.

I thought about everything Inuyasha and I did together from birth until freshman year. I remember always feeling happy around him, and safe. I felt like I did today; so free and wild to do whatever I please.

"I…I…I'll think about it," I compromised.

She smiled and nodded as she left.

"Good luck," she yelled before I heard the front door close.

As I sat there now and continued to think, I thought about the things Sango said when I was thinking of the good features of Inuyasha and couldn't think of anything. Maybe I was too busy seeing only the flaws in him to see anything else. Today, more than anything in the world has opened my eyes. I know now that I was too busy seeing the flaws. I was too busy trying to push him away and protect myself from getting hurt again to see anything but the flaws. I think both of us were. We both lost our trust for each other that day, and in return we lost all knowledge of the all the good things we saw. The flaws that everyone has, without them, we wouldn't be who we are now nor would we be human.

Being human means making mistakes. Being human means hurting but it also means being happy. It's okay to the see the bad if you can see the good too, and I learned that. Inuyasha is an all around good guy. He can make me laugh when no one else can. He knows how to make me stop crying. He knows almost everything about me and even though I don't really want to get too close to him, I know that whether or not we want to, we will anyway because that's just who we are. We hated each other 2 days ago and now we are friends again. Whether we like it or not, we are part of one person. We are part of each other. It's amazing how life can put you with your complete opposite and you guys can be exact twins in personality.

Just because we are all of those things, it doesn't mean I'm going to let him get close again. I don't want to get hurt and even though I like how we used to be…times change along with people…
