Chapter number four is here! Sorry for the late update. I've just been really caught up in all of the Inuyasha FanFics I've been reading lately. Without further delay, chapter four! :D
Rejection
Kagome hardly registered what Sango had said. All she could do was stare at Inuyasha. Her heart began racing wilding, pounding relentlessly in her ribcage. She was transfixed on the way he moved towards her, almost like gliding. A small, shy smile graced his lips as he finally came face-to-face with Kagome.
"Hey," he nearly whispered.
"Hey yourself," she responded just as quietly. When Inuyasha looked up, he saw a slight blush spread across Kagome's cheeks. It gave him motivation to continue. He sucked in a deep breath, closed his eyes for a few seconds to steady his nerves, and opened them again.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry about last night! I know I sent mixed messages and I didn't mean it, really. I love you, and only you. I was…afraid." Kagome gave him a curious look before speaking. "Afraid of what?" At this, golden eyes met blue in a swift glance.
"Afraid of being rejected," he said, sadly. Kagome shook her head, causing her raven tresses to toss around her head like a black halo, billowing in the wind. Inuyasha caught her scent as the movement stirred it up and to his nose.
"Rejected? Inuyasha, how would you come to that conclusion? If anyone should be afraid of rejection, it's me! Don't you get it yet? I love you. I wanted to show you last night, but you rejected me. Not the other way around." Miko stared at hanyou for what seemed like an eternity, her eyes swirling with emotion.
"I know, Kagome. But you have to understand why I was afraid! I thought Kikyo was the one and look where we ended up! I didn't want the same thing to happen with us. To you…" Inuyasha trailed off and ducked his head down, only to feel a small, soft hand reach out and pull his head back up.
"Inuyasha, I'm not Kikyo. I'm Kagome. Ka-go-me. I'm nothing like her. I would never not believe in you. I have faith in you. And I love you because of who you are, not who I think you could be." Inuyasha's eyes brightened.
"Kagome…" he murmured as his face flew forward and his lips connected with hers. The couple stood there for a few moments, in complete bliss, until Inuyasha broke the kiss due to the lack of oxygen. Needing to breathe sucks, ne? He smiled down at the small girl in his arms. "I love you," he whispered. Kagome's face broke out into a huge grin as she leaned forward to kiss him, saying "I love you, too" into his lips.
Ah, love! Isn't it wonderful? Well, I don't know if I should continue this or not. I actually have a few ideas to make this story a little longer, and more action packed. Well, let me know what you think, because I make this up to a seven chapter story if I have enough votes telling me to do so. Hopefully this damned fly won't be around to bother me when I type up the next chapter. –mutters murderously under breath- Thanks so much for reading! Later.
