Inuyasha's plea and Kagome's return
KAGOME POV
'Inuyasha is sitting here licking my arm,HEALING my arm,and I just told him off,yelled at him,said I didn't want him or need him and he's helping me!I even told him I'm stealing Shippo and leaving yet he's still helping me instead of screaming. What the hell is going on with him!?Actually better question what is the world coming to!?Mean,uncaring,insensitive,violent,short tempered Inuyasha is now kind,caring,considerate,gentle,patient Inuyasha?NO WAY!If this is really happening it's the end of the world I'm sure of it!' I thought confused as I sat there letting him heal me.
I didn't even notice when he stopped. I just continued to sit there in a daze staring out into a bunch of nothingness lost in my own little world. That is until Inuyasha got up in my face my eyes widened in suprise and I flew backwards expecting to come in contact with the hard ground yet again but I never did.
I looked up and saw that Inuyasha had caught me and was holding me tightly. 'What is up with him today?Normally he'd just let me fall.' He growled a little and said "Kagome you need to be more careful. I just got finished healing you and you almost got yourself hurt again. You're head would've hit that sharp rock which would result in you either bleeding to death,going into a coma,or having a severe concussion" My eyes once again widened but this time in fear and gratitude. "Thank you Inuyasha. I guess I'm not as strong as I think I am...at least not when I'm around you..."I said the last part so quietly I was sure he didn't hear me.
I was proven wrong, oh so very wrong.
"Oh really? and why might that be?Why would I make YOU weak?"He asked me obviously amused."I refuse to tell you but lets just say unless you can beat a demon slayer and a priestess I suggest you don't try and force it." Now it was his turn to widen his eyes in suprise"you mean Sango knows?She's known what's going all along?WAIT!Were you the 'wonderful priestess' that helped her give birth?" He asked me with one breath. "Yes,yes,and yes. Now calm down so you don't have a heart attack or something." I told him softly.
He smiled when I said that.
He smiled a true sincere smile.
I soon found myself smiling back at him. Next thing I knew he was kissing me and I was kissing him back. I felt him nip my bottom lip with his fangs begging for permission and I let him in. He searched my mouth while I did the same. My tongue lingered on his fangs. 'I love how sharp they are, I love how safe I feel in his arms... I love...HIM...' I suddenly pulled away making him look at me with and confused and hurt look on his face.
I shook my head and said "we shouldn't be doing this. What about Kikyo?How do you think she would feel if she saw us. She would never forgive you and you would lose her forever." He growled obviously annoyed. It's strange how I could always read him like an open book. "Kagome don't you get it by now? I don't give a fuck what Kikyo thinks. If she saw us right now I'd do the same thing I'm doing now. I don't care if she never forgives me. I wouldn't want her to because I don't think I'm doing anything wrong by kissing the woman I love. I don't care if I lose Kikyo. Kagome don't you get it I love you and only you. Please come back with me."His eyes were so pleading,so desperate.
"Ok...Oh yeah here."I said while taking off his robe of the fire rat and holding it out to him. He shook his head and said "keep it a while longer. Ok?" I said "but this belonged to your mother and father why do you want me to hold onto it longer?I wasn't even supposed to keep it in the first place."I protested. It felt wrong to keep something of such importance.
"I want you to keep it until I manage to ask you something ok?" He asked me. I wondered what he wanted to ask but brushed it off and said "ok." My eyes were shining brightly with new determination. I refused to let his haori get damanged like it did on the cliff when I fell. (AN:she got a gash on her arm and the haori got a slight tear)
"I'm sorry about the tear. I wasn't thinking. I promise I'll sew it up for you."I told him while looking into his eyes silently begging for forgiveness.He kissed me again and said"don't worry about it,besides if it weren't for it you probably wouldv'e been in worse shape than just that gash on your arm." I nodded my head and he jumped up to the top of the hill with me before jumping a little further to make sure we didn't fall again.
We began to walk off towards where Miroku and Shippo were. I giggled when I remembered the things they'd do and say when left alone. Inuyasha looked at me questionably and asked "why are you laughing?" I said "you don't know what Miroku and Shippo do when they're alone do you?" He shook his head and I said "I didn't think so but it's hilarious to everyone except you'd get pissed which is why you've never seen them."He just nodded and laced his fingers with mine. I sighed and laid my head on his shoulder and let my eyes slide shut. I started to fall asleep and just before I did I felt Inuyasha pick me up bridal style so I could sleep. I did as intended and slept soundly in my hanyou's arms.
INUYASHA POV
I watched her fall asleep in my arms. She was always at ease with me. She felt SAFE with me. A soul collector came by and I told it "tell Kikyo I am not coming nor will I ever again." The soul collector did as told and left to find it's mistress. I saw the camp come into view and noticed Miroku and Shippo laughing so hard they wouldv'e passed out if they hadn't seen the sleeping girl in my arms. "KAGOME!"They both shouted at the same time while running towards me. They soon saw she was sleeping and quieted down.
"So Inuyasha how did you find her and manage to bring her back?" Miroku asked me. "I found her when she was falling off a cliff and she let herself drop onto a ledge and I jumped onto it,she told me off,we fought,I got into an arguement with my youkai in my head,I healed the wound she had on her arm,I kissed her,she kissed back,she asked me why I would risk Kikyo by kissing her,I told her how I felt,I begged her to come back with me,she agreed,I asked her to hold onto my haori a little longer,she agreed,we got off the ledge,we were walking,she fell asleep and I carried her here. End of story." The two stood shocked.
I yelled "SANGO!GET OUT HERE NOW!"She did as told and stopped hiding."I want you to take Kagome to the hot springs when she wakes up and do whatever it is you guys always do that takes so long." She smiled and said "ok Inuyasha and we have some girl time while we're there. Some good old girl talk and it always makes us feel better."I smiled and said "good,you guys stay as long as you want and try and have as much girl talk as possible.I think she'll need it to comfort her after being gone for so long." She put on a sly smile and asked "Inuyasha you love Kagome don't you?" I instantly looked proud and said "yes,yes I do and I told her that. Now if only I knew how she felt..."
Sango looked at me and said "Inuyasha you are such a baka.Kagome-chan has loved you for a very long time. Why did you think she got upset whenever you visited Kikyo?Also why'd you think she kept your robe of the fire rat for so long and in such good condition?Especially why did you think she wore it all the time?It's because she loves you. She couldn't be with you because of Kikyo but she also couldn't stand to be without you. That's why she improvised by wearing your haori all the time. So she could keep a little piece of you with her at all times." I looked at her in awe and said"wow...are you serious?"
She nodded her head and I yelled "Then why didn't any of you tell me sooner!?"They all laughed and Shippo said "we thought you would've figured it out sooner but you didn't!you're so stupid Inuyasha!" I was gonna pound him but I felt Kagome starting to wake up from all the yelling.She slowly opened her eyes and smiled at me."Hi Inuyasha..." I smiled at her and said "hello to you too. Now look around you." She did as told and blushed madly and pulled my haori over her head then buried her face in my chest.I laughed and so did everyone else."Come on Kagome everyone wants to talk to you. You've been gone for 2 years."She shook her head. "Come on Kagome you can't hide like this forever. Not that I have a problem with it or anything."
She slowly moved away and she put my haori back on while I put her down. She was instantly on the ground with a monk,demon slayer,kitsune,and neko all on top of her. "INUYASHA!HELP ME!"She screamed reaching her hands out to me. I laughed and pulled her up and out of the dog pile that formed on her.
Sango came up to us and grabbed Kagome's hand and said"come on Kagome-chan!Let's go to the hot spring and have some girl talk!We have alot to catch up on since the village!"She turned to Miroku and said "take good care of Ai or I'll kick your ass so bad you'll be left in a coma with a Hirokotsu shaped scar on your head!"He nodded at 300 miles per hour and I laughed. She was so protective of her daughter.She didn't even trust Ai's father alone with her for very long.
She looked at me and said"Inuyasha make sure he doesn't teach Ai anything perverted got it?"I nodded and she turned back to Kagome"COME ON!This is going to be so much fun!You have no idea how much I've missed you!"She then ran away dragging Kagome behind her. While she was being dragged Kagome turned around a little and waved at me and yelled "BYE INUYASHA!BE BACK SOON!...OR LATER!"
