Chapter 6: Confession Under the Stars
Inuyasha followed Kagome around as she said goodbye to her friends from school. He didn't know what they said, why should he care? The only thing he really cared for at the moment was Kagome surviving this. As too optimistic as it sounded, perhaps just maybe she would be ok.
It was basically torture; he couldn't imagine how she felt about all this. It had taken all day for her to spend what time she could with her friends and family and Inuyasha wanted to give Kagome time with her family alone. So he got himself onto the roof to catch up with his thoughts.
He never had been a deep thinker, but now he found himself thinking more and more. He gazed up at the now appearing stars in the sky. He never believed in wishes and things like that, but he had remembered what Kagome had said about wishing on stars.
Inuyasha sighed as he look from the ground and back at the stars, 'I wish Kagome could live for a long time,' he thought, 'or if that's not possible at least make her the happiest person in the world before she goes.' Strange, he had never been so sentimental; now all that he could think about was her happiness.
A gloomy expression grew to his face along with a frown as he repositioned himself with his arms crossed on his knees and his head lying on top of them.
"Inuyasha," he heard from behind him. He turned and noticed Kagome was on the roof with him and he watched as she sat herself down beside him, she looked as if she had been crying. "You shouldn't be up here, it's dangerous," Inuyasha said keeping his eyes from her.
Kagome smiled a little, "It's ok, I've been up here before, I like looking at the stars," and as she said this she looked upward with a huge smile. She then turned to Inuyasha, "I'm sorry, I guess we'll have to do something tomorrow," she said holding her knees close to her.
"Hey, don't apologize, I understand," Inuyasha replied staring at her now. Kagome looked over at him and wanted to cry, but she tried fighting tears back by squinting her eyes in sadness instead, "I'm sorry, Inuyasha," she said.
Inuyasha frowned, "What for," he asked confused, what would she be sorry for? "Leaving you like this, leaving everyone, I know there's so much that.." but she couldn't continued and she started crying. "Kagome," Inuyasha spoke softly than pulled her into him and let her cry into his chest as he put his head on hers and closed his eyes. His head moved up and down in time with her sobbing which had caused her body to cause a hiccup like reaction.
"Please don't cry, it's not your fault," Inuyasha almost whispered. Kagome pulled from his grasp and looked up into his eyes, oh those gorgeous golden eyes. This made her squint more as more tears escaped, "Inuyasha," she said softly and hugged him suddenly again, "I don't want to leave you," she sobbed, "It's not fair."
Inuyasha closed his eyes and rubbed his cheek across her black hair taking in her smell and touch in the process, "I know, I love you Kagome," he confessed absentmindedly. Kagome was surprised, but didn't pull away, "Oh Inuyasha, I love you too."
A/N: ok, I know this chapter was too short, I realize that, but for one thing it's late and I'm trying to get some stories caught up and for another thing I wanted to leave it like this and it's my story so I can do it the way I want to, lol ;P but anyway, please review, I really appreciate it, thanks;) oh and I know Inuyasha is insensitive and a jerk at times, but in this story he really loves her and it's hard for him, so please bare that in mind and one last thing I thought I might have them take their relationship to the next level in a romantic kind of way, if you get what I mean before they couldn't, but I'm not so sure because it's supposed to be sad and dreary, what do you guys think?
