I just watched this amazing music video of Air the anime, and it blew me away! It's so amazing and sad that I felt myself tearing up! I've never even watched the anime, and the fan made video made me tear up! It's just so awesome that's it's won about nine awards and one runner up and two third places! Well, here's chapter six of my longest fanfiction so far…

There's a girl who's been waiting for you…

For a very long time she waited…

She's been crying…

Though no one hears it…

She cries for you and only you…

Your journey will begin soon…

And she is already there with you….

Realize the power within yourself…

That only you can assure that she'll stay by you

That she'll live…

That you will find your love…

This time….

Kagome looked around somewhat nervously as she exited the well. She was sure Yusuke was going to give her a verbal thrashing for worrying him, causing another wave of guilt to crash over her, but it wasn't her fault! First of all, Mr. Fox boy just had to refuse to let her leave, and then he had the nerve to kidnap her! Luckily he was called on an important errand, one that was apparently top secret, so she was allowed access to the well without a curious kitsune at her heels and a koumori tagging her by air.

She tiptoed to the house and opened the door nearly fainting with relief. It seemed that Yusuke either didn't notice her disappearance, or he was asleep…. But she wasn't caught, Kagome cheered happily to herself. Slowly opening the door to her room so as not to alert anyone of her presence, she tiptoed in. Sighing, Kagome put on her overlarge shirt, which doubled as her pjs, and slid under the covers. She nearly screamed in surprise when she felt a sudden tug at her waist. Twisting around made it easier to see exactly who it was. Kagome felt the corner of her eye start to twitch when she saw the uber good looking red head lying on the mattress next to her. Mentally sighing, she pondered the many odd ways she had fallen asleep since she met Youko as Shuuichi snuggled up next to her causing her to blush a violent red.

There was that first night when she had saved Youko, then there was the night she pretty much forced Shuuichi to sleep in the bed with her, then there was the night when she ended up giving Youko a massage and played around with his hair, and then there was right then with Kurama snuggled up next to her. Closing her eyes, she wrapped her arms around his as she snuggled back into him.

Kurama didn't want to wake up. He was normally the first one to wake up with the exception of Hiei, did Hiei actually sleep? But it was such a nice dream that it'd be a shame to wake up, heck even Youko was agreeing sleepily with him! The room smelt freshly like Kagome as the said girl slept in his arms snuggled up next to him. Smiling, he held her even tighter and buried his nose in her hair. It was such a realistic dream. He could feel the strands of her hair rubbing across his nose, and feel the girl's warm body against his. Kurama groaned and Youko followed suit as they had no choice but to wake up.

Opening his eyes, he spotted the girl in his dream… exactly where he imagined her in his dream. Gasping in surprise he let go of her and backed up until his head hit the back wall. Kurama watched in horror as blue eyes opened groggily. They gave a few weary blinks before Kagome launched herself at him causing him to blush deeply that was; if he was any lower a demon he would have. Instead, he turned a very light shade of red as Kagome pressed herself tighter against him as Youko purred in satisfaction.

~Stupid boy, I do not purr, I growl~ Youko sniffed somewhat disdainfully.

~Mm Hm, you growl, witch is why you sound like a happy cat that's been rubbed for hours~ Kurama pondered trying to annoy the fox.

~Watch your tongue Red~ Youko threatened.

~Why don't you watch yours? ~

~Who was the one who taught you to be intimidating? ~ Youko raised a delicately curved brow. Kagome suddenly snuggled into him causing their mental debate to come to a halt. The girl was just too innocent for her own good, Youko sighed to himself for what felt oddly like a memory of Kagome doing the exact same thing to him in a hut with a fox kit on the bed right by their side. He closed his eyes somewhat sadly, five hundred years. It had been five hundred years since he last held her in his memory.

Kurama was surprised as Youko surged forward. Caught surprised, he couldn't do anything as Youko made them change in front of the sleeping form of Kagome. He prepared himself for stopping Youko from hurting her, only to be shocked. Youko was cradling her in his arms as he purred softly.

~I thought I already told you, I do not purr…~ Youko scolded without any conviction. He was holding Kagome to him gently as she slept innocently unaware of what was happening. She was unconsciously snuggling up to him, causing a small smile to cross his face. Youko nearly sighed in aggravation when he could tell she was starting to awaken. It had been so long since his last memory of having her near him. The fact that he couldn't remember anything but what Kagome had already done, and how he currently felt towards her annoyed him to no ends.

Closing his eyes he retreated somewhat more content than he was earlier allowing Shuichi to come back into control. Sighing, he lay her down on the mattress and tucked the blanket in around her. Standing up, he made his way to the bathroom to get ready for the new day and Kagome's explanation, not that he didn't know exactly where she had been the entire time. He felt Youko smile as the dreams of what had happened resurfaced.

!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

Kagome smiled happily as she remembered what had happened the last three days she had been in the Sengoku Jidai.

"Youko, where are we?" She had asked curiously when he set her down. She could tell they were in a cave near a waterfall by the sound of water crashing down below and the same water running up ahead. Youko simply smiled mischievously at her causing her to stop for a moment. Her body was reacting strangely around him. A smile would make her heart flutter, while an actual laugh had her going along with him or smiling and blushing if she was the cause.

"We are in one of my bases," he supplied. Kagome nodded absentmindedly as she walked over to the entrance of the cave. It was impossible to not feel the spray of mist that came from under her, but it was even more unbelievably impossible to ignore the sight in front of her. The cave was on the other side of the waterfall, causing her to see things in an oddly distorted view. Youko suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the cave causing her to squeak as he dragged her along not waiting for her consent.

Laughing, she followed the excited kitsune as he took her through the cave and to the other side witch led out. Kagome gasped in wonderment. The natural path of the waterfall had carved out a little cliff surrounded by the land that had not eroded. The trees were impossibly tall acting as a defensive wall against people who wanted to look in. The waterfall's water continued on as a small stream and went over the cliff. There were many flowers and the place pretty much gave off the feeling of beauty. The grass was impossibly green, and the water was impossibly blue.

Youko turned to her, smiling, and causing havoc with her heart. "This is what I wanted to show you." She simply looked at him in wonderment and then started to explore on her own. Youko trailed after her nervous to whether or not she really liked it or not. He was sure that she couldn't act, but after noticing how great of a happy act she could put up he wasn't about to underestimate her.

Youko was caught by surprise when she turned to face him and gave him a strong hug, at least for a ningen it was strong. "Thank you sooooo much Youko!" she shouted before running off. He laughed and scratched his head somewhat overwhelmed at the way Kagome was messing with his heartstrings. A smile made his heart flutter, a laugh made him smile, a single frown made him worry, a wound made him burn in rage, a sigh made him want to cheer her up, and a single tear tore him apart. It was…disconcerting how quickly she got past all of the walls he had put up both physically and in his heart.

He was brought out of his musings when the flutter of Kuronue's wings made him look up and Kagome to run to his side. Kuronue nodded to Kagome and gave her a small hello then turned to Youko. "Now's the perfect time to stea- err…do important business!" Kuronue finished lamely.

Kagome frowned a bit and turned to Youko, "You have to do whatever your business is don't you?" she asked him. When he didn't reply or look at her she sighed, "Well, I have to go back anyway, c'mon let's go."

Which brought her to where she was now. Kagome felt a familiar aura, almost like Youko's but more…humanized. When she finally opened her eyes to wake up, she nearly groaned in annoyance. Great, absolutely great. Now she was feeling him! Wait…that didn't sound right… she mused to herself when the door opened. Standing there was Shuuichi wearing a grin.

"Yusuke says you have about five minutes to get downstairs and confess or he'll talk you to death. I suggest confessing, Yusuke can do a lot of damage talking," Shuuichi told her with his green eyes laughing. Groaning Kagome got up and walked up to him. She was surprised when he started to…blush? She was confused until she looked down at herself, damn! She was in her pjs and they didn't exactly leave much to the imagination. "Uh… I'll be down in a minute." She said blushing closing the door on him.

Kagome wanted to kill herself she was so mortified. Of all ways to greet a friend of her brother's, an uber hot friend anyway, that was so not it! Pulling on a black turtleneck and a white skirt, she exited the room. At the top of the stairs she mentally prepared herself for what she was sure as 'The Speech that would End he Life.'

As she entered the living room, she was nearly gagged with the feeling of suspicion.

"Take a seat Kagome." Yusuke gritted out of clenched teeth.

Bad sign…she thought to herself. Kagome started counting the seconds in her head as the tension became nearly so thick she felt she was choking. Just blow Yusuke…she begged. In the span of thirty seconds but what felt to her as three million eons the room nearly started to turn black. Expecting it, though still shocked, she nearly jumped out of her skin in surprise.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN WOMAN?!?!?!?!?!??!?"
