Last Time
"I just realized how much you mean to me, I couldn't live without you. How much it would hurt, I never realized because you seem so invincible. I know you don't feel the same way, I know Kikyo—"
"Shut up," I told her, and I kissed her right there in my tree, hugging her tight. The night breeze rushed around us, fireflies stopping to watch. I pulled back and Kagome stared at me wide eyed. Oh well, I already started so I mine as well—
"Kagome I…I…." I stuttered, saying those three little words was so damn hard, "I-love-you-and-I-love-Kikyo-but-she's-not-you-and-you-are-the-one-I-want-to-spend-my-life-with."
The smile she smiled then, could have lit the world, why with her with me I had no use for the sun.
Kagome's POV
I could see the beginning of the sun start to shine through my eyelids. I sighed knowing Inuyasha would be around to gruffly shake everyone awake, reminding us that if we didn't get a move on we'd never find the Jewel Shards before Naraku. I didn't want to get up though, not this morning, I was so comfortable and I had had the most wonderful dream. I sighed again, this time in contentment. I started to roll over, something had been poking me in the arm. As I started to I didn't feel any ground where I had started to move, my eyes snapped open and the only thing keeping me from falling out of the tree was the instinctive tightening of Inuyasha's arms. My heart pounding fiercely, the memories of last came night flooding back into my mind. The first dream…the one that had really only been a dream, thank god it wasn't real. Then Inuyasha had… had he really kissed me, told me what I had wanted to hear for so long?
He had. I nodded my head wonderingly, and then I had fallen asleep in his arms. I looked at his calm face, listened to his soft breathing, and by the looks of it he too had fallen asleep. I never wanted this moment to end, so I settled back into his arms and let sleep take me away for the third time that night. (A/N It's still pretty early, the sun is just rising so I'm still calling it that night, didn't want to confuse anyone)
Miroku's POV
I sighed looking up at Inuyasha and Kagome, how could he have the woman he loved asleep in his arms before I did? The ladies could not resist my charms…usually. I looked at Sango's beautiful face; I loved her beauty, her strength, how much she loves her family, I love everything about her, even the way she'll slap me and scream "Hentai!" What I wouldn't give for her to see past my lecherous ways, I didn't mean for them to hurt her. It was just the way I had lived for so long. Of course I did still need a son…Perhaps I could go and try to convince her, she might respond better when she's barely awake. I sat by her side and my hand crept toward her bottom. I sat there and she stirred, still asleep she whispered,
"Mir….oku…" smiling sweetly and innocently, I grinned, it seemed as though I was getting somewhere. Of course, I was looking the other way when her hand swung, at full force, towards me.
Inuyasha's POV
A loud CRACK woke me up, I looked down to see Miroku rubbing his cheek, and Sango sleeping peacefully. Had she really hit him in her sleep? I guess it had become so engrained in her mind, I shook me head, and Miroku thinks I need help when it comes to love. I looked down at Kagome, her head resting on my chest, her skin and hair so soft, I brushed my hand along her cheek and she smiled. I felt so…just plain happy. It bubbled up inside of me, filling me up, completing me. Kagome stirred, and I…well… I panicked, what was I going to do when she woke up? I could barely tell her last night, I had no idea what to do now! I held her carefully in my arms, marveling at her kindness, gazing at her beauty, laughing at the times when she would get so angry, and remembering with slight fear "The Sits." I leaped from the tree next to her odd bed, I laid her down, and covered her with a blanket and thanked kami that she was such a deep sleeper.
Kagome's POV
I woke for the third time feeling extremely befuddled and groggy, the sun had officially risen and I sat up my hair sticking out at odd places. I stretched my arms and yawned scanning the area cautiously for Inuyasha. That was when I realized that I was back on solid ground, my sleeping bag tucked securely around me. I sighed happily. I noticed that Miroku was also up, he sat near Sango. A red handprint blazing on his face, I smiled; nobody could pull the wool over Sango's eyes, even if her eyes were already closed…because she was asleep. Miroku saw me awake, he raised an eyebrow, and somehow through just one raise of an eyebrow he seemes to convey all of his perverted notions of what Inuyasha and I had been doing. I rolled up my sleeping bag and as I started to prepare breakfast Sango stirred waking from her deep slumber. I again scanned the trees looking for….could I really say it now?...my Inuyasha. And then I saw him, not in a tree, but on the ground, his arms tucked into his sleeves, Tetsuiga leaning against him, and a surprisingly thoughtful look on his face as he stared directly at the sun. I walked the distance toward him, sitting down beside him.
"You know, you'll go blind from staring at the sun too long," I teased, my arm brushing his. He jumped,
"What! That can happen?"
"No! I was just kidding! Well I bet it could probably harm them…" I trailed off. "If you want any ninja food, some is ready right now."
"No. I'm not hungry," he replied shortly, turning his head away, but I could see his face turning red, I wonder if he had been thinking about last night. Did he regret it?
"Well then I think we should head back to Kaede's village. I have a major test in a few days and I really need to cram," I said, shaking my head, balancing two lives was insanity.
"Fine," he said, surprising me. What he wasn't putting up a fight? Something really had to be up with him.
"O-o-ok, um…then we should probably getting going soon, right?"
"Ya," he said, still not looking at me. I stood up angry and confused.
"Fine," I said abruptly, stalking off. I never turned back and saw his look of confusion, love, and frustration.
