Author: I do not own Inuyasha in anyway or form.

Sango: *jumping around* She'll always wish shee didd!

Author: ... Forgive her, she got into some of the sugar I keep around the house.

Another thing I would like to thank AgentDoubleONight for being the first to review!

Sango: Yep. You made her day.

Author: Yes, yes you did.

"What did you say?" He stared in shock at the girl he was holding in his arms. Had she finally used her beauitful voice again? Not only that had she really said the words he had been waiting so damn long to hear? Or was he just going crazy?

She looked scaredly at him, "I said... I love you." She whispered the words once again, this time the words had worry mixed in them. Kouga hugged her tightly to him, "I love you too Kagome, I always have." He kissed her deeply

She let the tears slip down her face as she kissed him back. He pulled away after a moment wiping her tears away. He could see her, the girl he use to love right infront of him! Not the hollow, dead walking body that had taken her place for so long.

Kagome pulled back a bit smiling. Causing Kouga to smile bigger than ever. "Kagome, I promise... I won't fuck up this time. I'm yours, Only yours."

The girl smiled and pulled away from him as she spun in a circle. Then stopped and stared at him smiling slightly. The wolf stared at her. "Why now?" He asked her wondering.

How was she gonna explain this? She, herself was unsure of why exactly she had picked now.

But she would try for him, to explain what was on her mind. She sighed knowing she would have to find the will to talk, once more the way she use to. None stop.

"You stayed with me Kouga, You talked to me, even if I didn't answer, or pushed you away. Thats why. I've always loved you, but I tryed hiding and tryed to kill that love for you. I tryed making myself love another like I loved you. In away, I tryed making him you. While he tryed making me Kikyo."

It was a long thing to explain, but like always Kouga listened. And he didn't judge her one bit. Or blame her. This was easier then she thought it would be. "In the end, I felt I couldn't leave him cause there was no other choice, I felt I'd be alone forever without him. I didn't want that."

She looked at her feet. "I felt that it didn't matter anymore... That I couldn't leave him don't matter what. No matter how many reasons I had. Even if someone else." She looked at Kouga.

"Loved me better than anyone ever could. Everytime I got myself to realize it, I would try to leave him... He wouldn't let me. Maybe thats why I started feeling that I couldn't leave him.. thats what he put into my head." She went quiet again. Basically completely saying she was done talking for a while. A long while.

But even quiet he knew what she was saying, thinking. He had learned about her so well. They would have talks about random things without her even saying one word.

"Kagome... I should have helped you better. I should have done more sooner!" He punched a wall then pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Why had he let her, the girl he loved, go threw so much hell?

Kagome did not move. She just stared at him. Kouga looked at her. Knowing the old Kagome would have ran to him calming him down. This girl by him. Was only half of her.

She could showher feelings again, atleast most. And talked to him, but he could tell this talking thing maybe rare.

This Kagome also kept her distance. It would take time for him to get her to let him in completely, but he didn't care. He would spend the rest of his damn life proving he loved her, and fixing her.

He walked over taking her hand in his, as they started walking out of the place that held the well. Kagome stopped for a moment to look back at it and smile a little, remembering the crazy stories her grandpa had told her about it.

How if you fell into the well you'd go back to the federal era with demons, and the old time mikos. She shook her head at the memories. Finally able to smile as she thought of her grandfather.

"Kagome?" He looked at the well she was staring at. "Whats up babe?" Kouga asked the curiosity clear in his voice. "The well..." She said softly looking over at him. He smiled. He knew that well always made Kagome feel peaceful.

It was why she had picked this place, for training and everything. The reason the wells resting place was more open and rug was added to the floor. Targets added on one side of the walls, work out things, yoga mats, in other places.

Kagome had made herself busy this past year. That much was for sure. Kagome moved forward and tugged on Kougas hand a bit. He nodded knowing she was ready to leave, ready to start new.

They walked out hand in hand with each other, and once again, Kagome was able to feel joy in her iced over heart.
