Disclaimer: Do not own Inuyasha characters but I do own the others YAY LOL also I don't own the song If You Love by Brownstone. Now that I'm done disclaiming and feeling poor on with the story
If You Love Me
Rin looked at Kagome who was sitting on the couch. She then looked at clock before looking back at her younger cousin.
"Everyone's at prom now."
"Yeah, Sango sent me pictures, she told me she'll call me tomorrow to tell me everything." She replied as she flipped through a magazine.
"Ah, I see." Rin nodded. "Well, do you need anything? I'm going out with Sesshoumaru?"
"No, I'm fine thank you." Kagome smiled. Rin nodded her head and walked out the door. Kagome relaxed on the couch. She closed her eyes to relax.
Sango sighed deeply as she sat at a table with Miroku.
"It doesn't feel right without Kagome and Inuyasha together." Miroku stated and Sango nodded her head.
"Inuyasha is so stupid, after he does all that the only thing he can think of is saying he's sorry. I wouldn't accept that lame apology either." Sango growled as Miroku agreed.
"What can we do? Let's enjoy ourselves, I'm sure Kagome would be sad if we didn't have fun because she wasn't here." He said to her. She slowly nodded her head. She saw Bankotsu and Kagura standing by the punch table with Kouga and Ayame.
"Where's Hikaru? I thought he was coming with Fumio?"
"Actually he decided to go have dinner and a nice night with Fumi." He replied.
"Oh." She nodded. "It seems no one wants to come to prom huh?"
"Who knows but I know after prom, we're having a good time." Miroku said standing up. He held his hand out and Sango placed her hand into his. He pulled her up and they walked to the dance floor.
Inuyasha and Midori walked into the gym. Inuyasha spotted his friends scattered around. They walked to a table and sat down. Midori looked at him.
"Are you sure you wanna be here?" She asked him. He nodded and shrugged.
"It's your prom so let's make it fun for you." He replied. She smiled softly at him. She still felt horrible about everything that happened.
"Can I give you one piece of advance when you return back to New York?" He asked while looking elsewhere.
"Sure." She replied.
"Go into acting. You'll make it big." He told her. She smiled and nodded.
"Thank you."
Sango saw Inuyasha and Midori. She grabbed Miroku and they walked over to him.
"Hey Inuyasha, you're here." She said and looked at Midori who instantly looked down. "I see you brought trouble maker."
"Midori and I had a talk and it wasn't her. My Aunt pulled some strings to get things to run her way." He replied.
"Are you positive?" Miroku asked looking at Midori. She quickly stood up and bowed at bended waist.
"Gomen-Nasi." She whispered. She looked at them with genuinely sad expression. "I did everything I did to be reunited with my family. Iria-Ba-San said if I got Inuyasha to come to New York. She would return me to my family." She told them. Both their eyes widened and they looked at Inuyasha. He nodded his head.
"So wait, what's the story?" Sango asked grabbing a seat as did Miroku. Midori began explaining the story just as she told Inuyasha. Sango and Miroku looked at each other.
"Oh my god that's horrible." Sango gasped.
"I gave her a test to see if she was telling the truth and she was." Inuyasha stated.
"What test you gave her?" Miroku questioned and Midori instantly began blushing. Sango stood up and placed her hands on the table as she looked at Inuyasha.
"Why are you here?" She asked him. He gave her confused look.
"Well, because I wanted Midori to have a prom."
"That's not what she's asking." Miroku said looking at his best friend. "Why are you here?" He asked again. Inuyasha looked confused. Midori stood up.
"You have someone you love right? Go to her." She smiled. Inuyasha looked at them in shocked.
"Inuyasha what the fuck are you doing here?" He turned around and saw Bankotsu, Kagura, Kouga, and Ayame.
"Are you really gonna punk out like that?" Kouga crossed his arms as he shook his head.
"I thought you were a man." Kagura placed her hands on her hips and smiled.
"If you love her like you do prove it. Women just don't want words." Ayame told him. Inuyasha looked at them and they all smiled at him. He smiled softly and nodded his head.
"You're right. Excuse me." He bowed his head and stood up.
"Don't worry about me I'll get home." Midori told him. He bowed his head at everyone and left out the gym.
He hoped into his car and drove towards Rin apartment. His heart was pounding. He knew at this point that his words were useless he had to prove to her that she meant everything to him.
He spotted a store caught his attention. He did a quick U-Turn and headed towards the store.
Kagome opened her eyes and saw that it was ten pm. She stretched her body and yawned. She slowly got off the couch and walked towards the stereo. She put in a mix CD that Rin had and went towards the bathroom.
A nice shower sounded so great. She relaxed as the warm water hit her body. Suddenly tears began to emerge from her eyes. Inuyasha never called her or tried speaking with her again. She figured she was just an infatuation to him. She shook her head and tried thinking of something else but her mind kept going back to him. Soon the tears began to fall and she couldn't stop them. She held everything in and tried to be so nonchalant but now everything was coming out. She placed her hands to her face and began sobbing. How was it that someone she loved so much made her cry like this?
She turned the shower off and wrapped a towel around her body. She walked into her room and changed into gray shorts and a pink tank top. She scrunched her damp hair up and went into the living room to give herself a pedicure.
Her tears didn't stop, she knew that once she let it out it wasn't going to stop for a while. She pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed. This was killing her. She hated love maybe he didn't love her like she hoped he did.
I don't wanna rain on this parade….
But I'm starting to question the love that was made
I'm not looking for just an affair
I want a love that is based on truth not just dare
Kagome looked up at the stereo. She never heard this song before. It was a slow, soft tempo and the words of the woman singing was captivating.
You will not hurt my pride
If right now you decide
That you are not ready to settle down
But if you want my heart
Then it's time that you start
To act like you're mine in the light and the dark
Kagome crawled over to the stereo and turned the song up. Even though it made her tears fall more. She wanted to hear it loud and clear.
If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it
If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it
Inuyasha stood in front of the door. He got ready to knock until he heard the music playing inside. He pressed his ear to the door to hear what she was listening to.
You see now actions speak louder than words
So don't just say things that I've already heard
Don't want your body without your soul
I don't want a love who will come here and go
You will not hurt my pride
If right now, you decide
That you are not ready to settle down
But if you want my heart
Then it's time that you start
To act like you're mine in the light and the dark
If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it
If you love me, say it
If you trust me, do it
If you want me, show it
If you need me, prove it
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he leaned against the door.
Oh, I, Oh I, I wanna touch you baby
And spread my love all around you, honey
And if you come, you gotta show, baby
True love to share…
Inuyasha waited till the song was over and he knocked on the door. Kagome slowly looked at the door. She got up and walked over to the door. She looked in the peephole and saw Inuyasha. She sighed deeply and looked up before closing her eyes. She got rid of the all the tears and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, he dropped to his knees bowing his head before her. Her eyes widened.
"I'm not gonna say sorry to you because I know you're tired of hearing it. What I did was wrong and what I did was stupid. Even if I promised myself to never, hit a woman. I basically slapped you in the face when I took Midori's words over yours. You've never lied to me and I don't know want made me go off the way I did. Kagome I love you with all my heart and I can't let you sit here and think I never felt anything for you." He told her. He slowly looked at her and saw tears running down her cheeks. "Kagome?" He whispered. She slowly began backing up while shaking her head no.
"I don't want to. I don't want to go through this all over again Inuyasha. I can't, I won't, I refused." She stated. Inuyasha stood up and closed the door behind him. He walked over to her and she backed up. Each step he took forward she stepped back. She was putting a barrier between them and she wasn't letting him in.
"Kagome, please trust me." She closed her eyes tightly as if she was trying to get rid of his imagine before her. "If I love you, say it. I love you." She looked him at him confusion. "If I trust you, do it." He took his tuxedo jacket off and held his arms out. Kagome looked at his chest that was opened with no protection. "If I want you, show it." He dropped to his knees. "If I need you, prove it." He slowly crawled to her. Her heart began pounding and her legs began shaking. She was finding it harder and harder to stand straight.
He placed his hands on her hips and hugged her close to him.
"Kagome, if you leave me and never turn to look at me again. I swear on everything I'll fade away from this world." He looked at her. She gripped her fists tightly. Inuyasha grabbed her left fist and place it to his lips. "Please believe me." He whispered. She closed her eyes tightly as she continued to shake. Her eyes then opened and she looked at him before looking at her left ring finger. She spotted a white gold princess cut ring, with a nice sized diamond in the middle with smaller diamonds going half down each side of the ring. Her eyes widened in shock and she looked at him.
"I-I-Inuyasha on my left hand."
"I told you, you were going to be wife didn't I? Will you accept me as your fiancé and your future husband?"
"Inuyasha…" Tears once again fell down her eyes. "Hai." She dropped down to her knees and hugged him tightly. He kissed her deeply and hugged her close to his body. "I love you so much."
"I love you too Kagome. I'll never do anything stupid again. I'll mature for you and I'll be all I can for you."
"Inuyasha, just be the one I love and know."
"Let's grow together." She kissed his lips. "This is much better than prom." Kagome giggled.
"Prom?" Inuyasha stood up and walked over to the stereo. He found a CD that he liked and placed the music on. Never Gonna Let You Go by Faith Evans came on.
He held his hand out towards her.
"Let's have prom here." He told her. She looked down at herself.
"I'm not really dressed to part." She laughed.
"You're beautiful no matter what you have on." She smiled and placed her hand in his. He held her close to him and they swayed the music. Kagome smiled. He gave her a lot of hell but she knew he was going to be in her life forever.
"Kagome, I have something to tell you about Midori." He told her. She raised her eyebrow and he began to explain to her about the whole situation. She placed her hand on his chest as she left what he said settle in. That did explain why his aunt was so fixated on him. "Kagome, I think it's time we talk to Iria-Ba-San." She nodded her head. "Also I wanna know something."
"What?" She asked softly.
"I need to be mature and look at my future, look at our future and I wanna know would you follow me wherever I go?" He asked. She smiled and nodded her head.
"Of course." She giggled.
"Even to New York?" He asked and she looked at him wide eyed. She then softly smiled knowing what he meant.
"Even to New York." She replied and he kissed her deeply.
