Chapter 8: Dancing by Moonlight

Kagome had never felt so much like a princess in her life until that moment when she was out with Inuyasha. Before she had found out she was sick, they would always, it seemed, end up arguing, but now everything flowed so beautifully as if they were the only two people in the whole world.

"Maybe we should head back," Kagome spoke, "it's getting late and we've done so much already."

"Are you getting tired," Inuyasha asked as they walked along the street. The street lights were just starting to come on for the night ahead.

Kagome nodded, though the day had been magical and full of moments with the guy she had fell in love with, sleep was catching up to her.

Inuyasha looked down at her with a half smile as he took her hand, "I have one more surprise for you."

Kagome looked up at him, blinking from surprise and curiosity.

How could her dying change Inuyasha into such a gentleman in the blink of an eye? Could he really be in love with her this much? Suddenly it was getting harder and harder to accept she was going to have to leave him.

Inuyasha tightened his grip just a little bit on her hand as he led her to the park.

"Inuyasha, we've already been here," Kagome said.

"I know, I know," he let go of her hand, "wait here," he said before going over to the small bridge where they had fed the ducks earlier.

Kagome cocked her head to the side as Inuyasha handled with something that Kagome couldn't see. She heard a few growls from him and she could swear she heard him mumble, "How did she say this thing worked again."

Kagome hid a giggle behind her hand.

Finally she immediately stopped giggling and stood there stunned as lights that were hooked up all around the bridge lit up to create the perfect romantic scenery.

Inuyasha smiled triumphantly at the lights as he let go of the control that had switched them on. He turned to Kagome and held out his hand to her with a loving grin.

Kagome couldn't help but blush as she bashfully took his hand. Inuyasha led her to the top of the bridge.

"If you're tired, lean on me," he whispered as he slid his hands on her waist.

Kagome gulped nervously, he had never taken her waist like that before and her heart skipped a beat. She slowly nodded as she looked up, simply awed.

She laid her head on his chest as he moved slowly back in forth in a dancing motion. Kagome's feet began to move rhythmically along with his.

"You can put your feet on mine, Kagome," Inuyasha then whispered, remembering what Kagome's mother had taught him about romantic dancing.

Kagome looked down and for the first time realized he was barefoot. She figured she had been having such a good time with him that she had forgotten. No wonder some people was staring at them, she just figured it was his weird dress hat that he had been wearing so he could take her out.

Kagome slipped off her shoes, but stopped and stared down at his feet in front of hers.

"What?" he asked, "I'm not going to bite you or anything," he snorted at his own joke.

Carefully Kagome climbed, it wasn't that she was scared of him, it's just she was afraid she would like it too much. After a while of dancing with each other, Kagome sniffled.

"Hey, what's wrong," Inuyasha asked, stopping to look down at her with concern.

"It's just I'm going to miss you," Kagome admitted.

Inuyasha's face fell with an open-mouth, he was a little surprised to hear her say what he had been secretly thinking all day, "Hey don't cry," he looked around, wondering what to say, finally he looked up, "Kagome, look at the moon."

Frowning in wonder, Kagome looked up into the sky, the moon was glowing bright, it looked so breathtaking.

"You will always be with me Kagome, when I look at the moon, I'm going to think of you everyday," Inuyasha turned his eyes to Kagome, his smile suddenly fading, "I'm going to miss you everyday."

Kagome's eyes watered and she clung onto Inuyasha, letting the tears escape. Inuyasha pulled her to him, lying his head on hers and closing his eyes.

Inuyasha pulled back a little and took her left hand into his right one and there they danced slowly to the magnificent moonlight above.

A/N: ok, just wondering, is it too mushy, corny or what?
