Sitting in the hut, Kagome was staring out the window at the moonlight. It seemed like she had been sitting there for hours. She looked over at Inuyasha who had finally settled down and was sleeping peacefully. The gangrous root had worked even better then she and kaede had hoped. She said that now thanks to the herb Inuyasha's chances of survival were practically guaranteed. As she looked at Inuyasha sleeping so peacefully, her heart swelled with love so much she thought she was going to burst! She was so happy that Inuyasha had finally admitted his feelings for her. But then she had a thought.

"Did he really mean it?" "Was he really serious?" "He had been delirious and near death when he had said "I love you" On the mountain. Maybe he had only said it cause he thought he was going to die. "People say crazy things when they're dying." Kagome thought. Just then the most horrid thought popped into her head. "What if he doesn't even remember saying it!" Kagome shuddered. That was the worst thing she could possibly think of. Once she started thinking about it though she couldn't stop herself. "what if he honestly and truly doesn't remember saying it!" Now she was really starting to panic. "It was entirely possible." She thought "He was really out of it and he had lost a lot of blood." Kagome's joy now turned to heartache. She wanted to burst into tears, but she didn't. All she could do was stare at Inuyasha while the thoughts raced around in her head. The more she stared at Inuyasha, sleeping so peacefully, the more antsy she became.

"She wanted him to wake up NOW! She wanted to talk about this now! She couldn't wait any longer. She had to know if he meant it. Did he even remember? She had to find out now! Just as she was bending over to wake him up Kaede entered the tent.

"Kagome what are you doing!?"

"I have to wake Inuyasha up!" I have to know if he really meant what he said before. I'm sorry but I can't wait."

"Are ye insane child?! Inuyasha is gravely wounded his body needs this time to rest."

"I know but…But nothing child! Stop being so selfish and think about what Inuyasha's needs!"

Kagome is shocked by kaede's rebuke but decides she is right. The next morning Kagome wakes up to find that Inuyasha is already awake and has been watching her sleep for a while.

"Inuyasha!" "Oh thank the heavens!" "I'm so glad you're awake."

She falls asleep then the next morning

When he awakens the next morning he watches Kagome sleep and soon she awakens as well.

"Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"I just want you to know that I remember everything and I meant every word."

"Really?" Kagome says ecstatic.

"Yes"

"It wasn't just cause you were afraid you were dying?"

"No although that did give me the push I needed to finally get it out in the open."

Kagome smile is so big it takes up her whole face.

"I have something to ask you to make it official"

"Ok"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes! Yes! Oh Inuyasha of course I will! I love you!"

"I love you to Kagome."

They stay in each others arms for a few minutes. neither one of them wanting to end the perfect moment or remembering when they were this happy.

"Kagome?"

"Yah Inuyasha?"

"I'm sorry I am just really tired and in a lot of pain. I don't' think I can stay up and talk with you right now I need to get some more sleep is that ok?"

"Sure of course we will talk later."

"Ok"

She gets up to leave but he stops her.

"Kagome?"

"Yes Inuyasha?"

"Would you stay with me? I don't want to be alone."

"OK"

"I want to be with you always I never want to be alone again."

Kagome smiles and snuggles up next to him.

"So have you been here the whole time?"

"Yes"

"How did I get back here from the mountain I don't really remember."

"I had Kirara carry you and me and Shippo back to the village. Kaede is as much responsible for taking care of you as I am."

"I see what about Sango and Miroku?"

"They opted to walk back seeing as how Kirara couldn't carry all of us back at the same time."

"Oh I see that lecherous monk must have loved that.

He said and laughed but winced as he did so.

"You need to rest now so it is time you go to sleep."

"Yes ma'am" he said with a grin.

With that he closed his eyes and fell fast asleep with Kagome next to him.

A few days later Inuyasha and kagome are talking in the hut. Inuyasha is sitting up but he is still too weak to be up and around. Later on Miroku and Sango come in. They are relieved to see that Inuyasha is doing so well. Quite frankly they had half expected to come back and find him dead.

"Inuyasha! You're…you're alright!" Sango exclaimed.

"Of course I'm alright what were u expecting?"

"Ummm…well you know with your injuries…we kinda thought that…you know." Miroku started to explain.

"That what?" Inuyasha asked. "I'd be dead?" "You guys really don't have a lot of confidence in me do you?"

"No it's not that, Sango stuttered "It's just that your injuries were so serious."

"Look the point is that we're glad your ok," he paused "and we have some news."

"News? Kagome asked "What news?"

At this point Miroku and Sango began smiling like idiots and Kagome noticed that they were holding hands. A light then clicked on in her head.

"OMG you're dating aren't you!" "OMG that is sooo great!' she squealed. I am so happy for u!" Sango began to blush as soon as Kagome said this.

"How…how did you know?"

It doesn't matter; what matters is that I am soo happy for you!" This is soooo great!"

She got up and went to give them each a huge hug. She couldn't stop squealing and giggling. Miroku and Sango sat on the floor of the hut next to Inuyasha and Kagome. It was then that Miroku noticed something.

"Something is different about you two."

"What do you mean?" Asked Kagome.

"Just something about the aura around you two; it's…different." Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and smiled. They spent the rest of the day talking about the dramatic changes that had happened in their lives and relationships in the past day and reveling in the joy of each others company.
