CHAPTER 16: LOVE
After her departure from the hut, it was close to night. Kagome goes into the forest, and jumps onto a tree. "Why can't he just understand for what happens? I just want him to see it. For his mother misses him deeply." She sobs a little with tears in her eyes. Inuyasha picks up her scent of salt, and her lavender and berry, "Kagome…" He keeps on running, and hears her crying. He finds her up in the tree where she's sitting. He feels guilty what he said to her. He jumps up to the branch. Kagome notices him sitting by her, looks away. "I'm sorry. I had no idea." Inuyasha confesses. "I should've thought this threw." He puts his arm around her waist. "Inuyasha, ever since Onigumo told the news. I had a hunch that you were still alive." Kagome said rest her head on his shoulder. "And your mother misses both you and your father. But she can't take the thrown, since it's has to be a male to take it." She added. Inuyasha lays his head on hers. Inuyasha grasps hold of her, and jumps down to the ground.
Meanwhile back in the hut, Miroku, Sango, Kirara and Shippo discuss about Inuyasha and Kagome. "I think they're falling in love." Miroku said with a smirk. "I agree. I mean, they having seen each other for 15 years. It's destiny." Sango adds. "I knew for sure it was for them to be together. So it's best to leave them along." Shippo said crossing his arms nodding.
Kagome blushes as she runs, "Catch me if you can." She laughs. Inuyasha shakes his, smirks as she runs goes after her, "Oh, I'll catch you for sure." They continue on running, until Kagome gets tired out. She looks back, and she sees nothing, "I thought he was behind me." She said confused. "Nope, I'm ahead of you." Inuyasha said. Kagome is shocked to hear that. She just laughs. She then starts running. Inuyasha chuckles, "You're going to be mine." He runs after her again. Kagome finds a waterfall ahead. She finds a cave nearby. 'That'll do." She goes in it and hides. "I hope he doesn't find me." She sits panting from running. Inuyasha comes to the front of the waterfall. He sniffs, in hopes to find her, "Damn the mist has hid her scent." Inuyasha looks around, and sees a cave behind the waterfall. "I wonder where Kagome would be?" he asks playfully. He takes off his haorai. He sneaks into the cave, and sees her behind the rock. Kagome feels that someone is behind her. As she turns around, Inuyasha pounces on her. He picks her up and jump into the water. It was a little cold, but they didn't care.
Kagome comes up to the side of the pool, and sits on the rocks. Inuyasha comes up and sits next to her. "Looks like I caught you." He said to her. Kagome looks away, blushing. She begins to shiver a little because of the cold air. Inuyasha reaches over, and wraps Kagome in it. "Thanks, Inuyasha." She said resting her head on his chest. Inuyasha embraces her in his arms, "I missed you so much." She said so much, Inuyasha." She snuggles in his arms. Inuyasha smiles, wit his eyes so soft to her, "I've missed you too, Kagome." He said taking her chin to make her look into his golden eyes. "Not to mention, I love you, Inuyasha." She confesses with tears in her eyes. Inuyasha wipes her tears gently off, "I love you too, Kagome." Without another second, they kiss passionately.
