Chapter 5
InuYasha walked at a fast pace, holding on to Kagome's hand, pulling her along. "InuYasha, where are you taking me?" Kagome said annoyed, but I do like holding his hand, I have to admit.
"I have the perfect idea on how to get you home, but it could be dangerous."
"I'll do anything." Kagome said smiling. She had faith in this InuYasha.
InuYasha continued dragging Kagome along behind him and stopped at the entrance to Kaede's village, then turned to the side, heading towards the forest where Kagome was bound to the tree of ages.
When they arrived, InuYasha let go of Kagome's hand and plopped down on the soft grass below, and patted the ground beside him, beckoning to Kagome to sit beside him.
Kagome sat down staring up at the orange fire sky. InuYasha looked up at the sunset too and before she knew it, InuYasha and she were staring into each others eyes, with a large blush forming across their faces. Orange and red fire blazed in the trees as Kagome closed her eyes. InuYasha leaned in and their lips touched for the briefest second before Kagome screamed so loud, InuYasha's eardrums felt as though they had shattered.
InuYasha got up from his position on the floor and looked questionably at Kagome. "Why? Don't you like me? I sure like you."
"Look InuYasha. You are supposed to be me, in this universe. You are nothing like me though. You like me, a half demon, while in my world I like half demon you. I never show that though because you are too hung up over Kikyo."
"Kikyo? Don't you mean Koki, the priest who bound you to the tree of ages 50 years ago?"
Kagome looked surprised, "Oh, yeah. Koki is the male version of Kikyo, from this world." She shook her head and continued. "Well anyway, oh never mind." Kagome plopped back down again.
"You can tell me anything Kagome. Since I'm technically InuYasha from your world since I'll always be me, half breed or not, whatever you say, I'll know that whatever I feel after will be what your InuYasha must feel.
"Alright, you pretend that you are the half demon version of you. InuYasha… I know you still have feelings for Kikyo, and I could never ask you to forget her, but there has been something that I've always wanted to tell you. InuYasha… I LOVE YOU!
"Kagome…" InuYasha said blushing. "I think that parallel me will feel the same as you, because I sure do." Then, without regret, Kagome and InuYasha knelt in for a long, lingering kiss.
