Disclaimer: Hey guys! Thanks so much for all the reviews! It really means a lot to me. I knew I liked that chapter. Mistletoe's are always helpful, never forget that. So, right now, I'm going to switch out of Inuyasha's point of view and go to regular point of view. Here's chapter 11!

Screams of joy and happiness erupted inside of Kagome's house as the clock struck twelve and the New Year finally came. Just outside the door, though, the two best friends were caught under the Mistletoe and now sharing a kiss. Something that Inuyasha always hoped would happen someday. The feeling of fireworks inside of him did not go away. What made him even happier was that she was responding to the kiss, just like he wanted her to.

Kagome could barely move. She was being kissed by a boy! And, not just any boy, but her best friend, Inuyasha!

This was her first kiss ever. She never thought that Inuyasha would be the first one to kiss her. This was her best friend. The one that promised to never hurt her and protect her. She felt so comfortable with him, he was so gentle with the kiss. All her thoughts melted away when she found the strength to wrap her arms around his neck.

As soon as he felt Kagome's arms around him, Inuyasha felt that he was able to do something. Slowly, he moved both of them towards the wall near the door. He carefully pushed her up against the wall, making sure he didn't hurt her. Kagome didn't mind feeling the cold wall against her back. She didn't mind anything at the moment, considering the fact that she couldn't think because of all the blood that was in her head at the moment. She only gasped when she felt Inuyasha press his body against her the slightest bit.

Inuyasha's arms went completely around her waist as Kagome's grip around his neck tightened. Their kiss was as if it went on for hours when it was only a minute. And in the one minute, Inuyasha might should have might as well been declared the happiest man in the world. That world suddenly disappeared with just one action of a person.

"So," The voice of a heart-broken girl was heard, "I guess you two are going out." Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome, hearing the familiar voice.

"Mai, what are you--"

"Don't apologize. After all, you two are a couple." And with that, she sniffed and ran back into the house. Inuyasha stared at the empty space before turning back to Kagome. Her face was flushed, as was his, as she stared at the empty space. She turned to him and stared back. The faded around them again and they were starting to feel the attraction to each other's faces.

In a second, Inuyasha leaned back down and captured her lips with his. Kagome's thoughts about her cousin melted away, yet again, and she tangled her hands in his hair. There was a little voice in the back of her head telling her that this was wrong, but you needed a hearing aid to actually hear it.

"Inuyasha. . ." Kagome moaned, attempting to make him stop, as the voice commanded. Her plan back fired and she melted even more as Inuyasha's grip tightened and he pressed his body a little more against her.

Suddenly, though, Inuyasha pulled away from Kagome. They both stared at each other for the longest time.

"I'm sorry." Inuyasha whispered. His voice was soft, as if he was finally at peace with everything. "I know that you didn't--" He was cut off when Kagome brought her hand up to rest on his cheek. Her warm hand stroked his cheek softly and he closed his eyes. Just as she leaned up to kiss him, someone interrupted them again.

"Kagome?" Both Inuyasha and Kagome's heads turned. Sango stood there, staring at the two with the most surprised expression Kagome had ever seen her put on.

"S-Sango. Hi." Kagome managed to get out.

"Your mom wanted to know where you were." Inuyasha slowly let go of her and Kagome did the same. Kagome looked to Inuyasha as he looked to her.

"I-I should go." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha nodded. Kagome slipped passed him and went back inside her house with Sango.

-----Inuyasha's P.O.V-----

I watched the Kagome leave and I closed my eyes, recalling everything that just happened. I kissed Kagome. I kissed Kagome. I totally and completely kissed Kagome.

I sat on the banister, still trying to grasp the thought. What was really strange to me was that she. . . kissed me back. She didn't pull away and she kissed me back. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. She really did kiss me back.

I got off the banister and went back inside the house. Everyone one was still as happy as can be. I think it was only a few minutes after New Years. I'm not sure, I can't think straight after what just happened.

"Hey, Inuyasha!" I turned around to see my perverted friend, Miroku. He ran over to me, a confused expression on his face. Oh, boy. He heard. "What was that all about?"

"What do you mean?" Pretending like nothing was wrong doesn't work that much these days, sadly.

"Mai said that you and Kagome were kissing. Is it true?"

"What if it is?"

"Dude!" Miroku exclaimed with a grin on his face. "You finally did it!"

"Miroku, shut up! You're attracting too much attention."

"I can't help that I'm happy for my best friend."

"Well, I'm not happy."

"Why? You kissed the girl you've been in love with since, like, forever."

"It's not like she feels the same way about me."

"You don't know that." He did have a point. Now, I really didn't know how Kagome felt about me. Kami, when will the world make sense? "Why don't you talk to her?"

"I don't even know where she is, Miroku."

"Ask Sango, she's coming down the stairs right now." I blinked and looked at the stairs. Sango came down them and looked around. She must have been looking for us because when she caught sight of us, she rushed over.

"Sango, where's Kagome?"

"She's upstairs. She said she wants to talk to you." Without her saying another word, I rushed upstairs and sprinted towards Kagome's room. Though, when I got to the front of the door, I froze. What would I say? Is she mad at me? Is she happy? Will this make things weird between us? Does my breath smell?

I checked my breath. It smelled perfectly fine. It smelled like. . . Her. I let out a nervous breath before turning the door knob and opening the door. I stepped inside and saw Kagome, sitting on her bed, holding a pillow.

"Inuyasha!" She sounded sort of surprised, but I'm pretty sure she was expecting me. She let go of the pillow and patted the space next to her. I walked over and sat next to her. She started to fiddle with the end of her dress. Was she nervous? Of what?

"Inuyasha. . . About what happened outside." I shifted uncomfortably and scratched the back of my head.

"I'm really sorry about that Kagome." I whispered. "I know that you didn't want me to and I know we're just friends." Kagome nodded silently. She didn't look up at me and I'm glad she didn't. I probably would not be able to keep myself under control.

"It's okay." She whispered. I stared at her in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, we were under the mistletoe, after all." Forgot about that. . .

"Oh, yeah. . . I forgot about that. . ." I heard a giggle escape her and I smiled. Kagome was back. She looked up at me and smiled. Now that I wish she wouldn't have done that.

My smile faded slightly and I stared into her eyes. She stared right back at me, her smile fading too. I fought the need that came over me just a few minutes ago and just watched her. I clenched my fists tightly, fighting against my want. No, my need. Slowly, I started to give in and I leaned forward. The only thing that could stop me at that moment was another distraction. and, that's just what we got.

There was a knock at her door. I blinked and looked over to it.

"Come in." Kagome said softly. I looked over to her. She looked as if she was blushing and stared at the floor. I looked up to see who had been knocking.

"Hey, Kagome." Oh. . . Crap. Even though we're not at war, I don't like seeing him.

"Hello, Koga."

"Hey, Inuyasha."

"Hey. . ."

"Sango wanted me to come up here. She wants you to go downstairs and talk to her."

"Um, okay then." Kagome got up and left the room, Koga following after her. I watched the empty space in the door way. So, in one night, I convinced a love-struck teen that I was going out with my best friend, who I was in love with. I kissed my best friend, more than once. My best friend and her best friend found out about it, thanks to the love-struck, now heart broken, teen. And, now, I almost kissed her and she was not resisting. I have more questions than I wanted in life.

1. How will this affect our relationship? 2. How are Miroku and Sango going to act after this? 3. Is Mai going to kill me after tonight? And 4. . . Is Kagome as in love with me as I am with her?

A/N: Well, that's that. I liked the beginning of this chapter. I wasn't thinking of doing that at first. Then, I thought about it and I think this was better than the original idea. Anyways, I hope you liked this chapter. I think the last chapter was my favorite, to be honest. I think the ending will be better, though. So, R&R. Until Next Time! Happy Valentine's Day!
