Chapter 4

I Need You

Kaede walked out of the hut, Sango and Kagome were sitting together outside the door, Sango comforting Kagome.

When Kagome saw Kaede walk out she jumped up immediately, she saw the blood on Kaede's hands and kimono and was scared "I… is Inuyasha ok?" Kagome asked her.

"He is hurt very badly Kagome, but he is strong I believe he will be fine… you can go see him." She said and smiled.

Kagome smiled back at her "thank you Kaede, for everything."

"It was my pleasure Kagome" she said and walked into market of the village to get water so she could clean herself up.

Kagome looked at Sango almost as if she was afraid to go inside of the hut but Sango smiled at her so she walked in.

Miroku and Shippo were standing by the bed Inuyasha was on talking to one another quietly. They both looked over at Kagome when she walked in and silently left leaving her alone in the room with Inuyasha.

Kagome walked over to the bed and looked down at Inuyasha, she saw the bandage on his head and wondered if he really would be ok. She sunk down onto the floor and reached her hand up to Inuyasha's face, moving his silver hair out of the way so she could see his eyes, he was asleep.

She grabbed his hand and laid her head on his chest "Oh, Inuyasha this is all my fault, if I would have just accepted the fact that you wanted to die with Kikyo, keep your promise to her, you wouldn't have run off and got hurt, she cried.

Inuyasha could feel someone's hand holding his own and slowly opened his eyes "Ka...gome…" he said.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said sitting up and looking into his eyes. She was still holding his hand without realizing.

"What happened?" he asked trying to sit up.

"No Inuyasha you can't your to weak… those demon's hurt you real bad when they hit you with that club" she said.

Inuyasha lay back down; he looked down at his and Kagome's hands and tried to lift his hand up.

Kagome looked down realizing she was still holding his hand, she started to blush and quickly let go "s..sorry.." she said embarrassed.

"Wait... no…" Inuyasha said grabbing her hand back "I liked it there..." he said and smiled at her.

She smiled back then looked down feeling very awkward "Inuyasha…" she began.

"Yes?" he asked still looking at their hands together.

"I… I… I understand about Kikyo and I won't stand in your way…" she said even though it pained her too.

"Kagome…" he said a little surprised.

"I never should have fought you about it in the first place, it's your choice, you promised… it's only right that you keep that promise..." she said and faked a smile for him.

"What about the promise I made to you?" he asked.

"Oh that doesn't matter and besides you already kept that promise" she said.

"I have?" he asked confused.

"Yes... you've protected me from Naraku and now that he's dead there's nothing left to protect me from. Besides you only made that promise so that you could use the Tetsusaiga (sp)."

"Kagome… that's not true… what about demons?" he asked.

"Inuyasha I'm a miko… I can protect myself now… besides with Naraku gone I can just go back to my own time…" she said feeling like she would cry but holding it back, she wanted Inuyasha to think she was strong, for herself and him.

Inuyasha had a bit of a headache and to him that's all it was so he sat up before Kagome could protest, he used the hand he had been holding to pull her to him into a hug.

"Inuyasha… what are you doing?" Kagome asked confused.

"Your wrong Kagome I didn't keep protecting you just to use the tetsusaiga, and I don't want you to go back… I need you here with me… do you remember the promise you made to me?" he asked, "That you'd always stay by my side?"

"Yes…" Kagome said feeling the tears building up, she couldn't hold them back anymore she buried her face into his shoulder crying.
