Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Chapter 2: Gift

Inuyasha Pov

I sat on Kagome's bed cross legs holding my beloved sword against my chest, with closed eyes hearing Kagome explain to me every detail of what happened before she woke up half an hour ago.

"So I dropped the Shikon since I tripped, and before I can retrieve it, you came to take me away and that's when hell broke loose even more. I don't know, the next thing we know your Tessaiga is in his hands and slashes everyone in one piece using the backlash wave, slicing you in half. I…. have no clue how... I..." Kagome's voice trembles making me open one eye to see her look at her trembling hands a little wide eye as though she's reliving the memory.

I felt my heart clenched at the sight.

"You believe me right Inuyasha?" she pleads with me, and strangely I do, she has no ounce of a lie in her words or her scent.

It must have been horrifying, yet I have no clue how to feel but I'm pissed off at the situation. I haven't lived it yet, but Kagome has.

I felt heavy heart and annoyed by this as I place my sword down on the right side of the bed and stood up.

"Kagome," I went up to her and took hold of her hands making her gasp and looking up at me, tears continue to roll down her eyes as her cheeks are so tainted red. She reeked of fear and panic.

How can I calm her?

"Please Inuyasha, you have to believe me, you know I can't make these things up, I…. I don't want anyone to die." but I nodded at her, soothing her small warm hands.

"I've known you for three years Kagome, I know you won't make something this big up. I believe you, plus Time travel for us is nothing new, so is not like I will automatically butcher it out of the question, I just don't know how to process this Kagome." I assured her. Kagome looks relieved when she grabs my robes with her both of her shaky hands and slips into my embrace, burying her face into my torso making my heart skips a beat while I look down at her.

"I don't know why the Shikon took me a year before, it took so long to gather the shards, and…." she began to ramble off. I sigh taking hold of her shoulders and pull her back so I can look at her eyes.

"Kagome, calm down," I said calmly. Kagome stares at me not sure what to say, when we heard the door knock once again.

"Kagome," we heard Kagome's mother peeking her head around the door.

"I called the school, you don't have to go... Err, Kagome is there something the matter?" She looks concerned over her daughter watching her enter the room.

At this moment I don't think is a good idea to tell her until Kagome calms down. Kagome wipes her tears and turns to her faking a smile.

"Um…"

"She will tell you later," I assured her mother not sure if this was a good idea, I turn to face Kagome, but she gave me a thank you smile making me feel a little shy under her smile and relieved that she didn't get mad at me.

"Alright then, don't forget to get your breakfast, " her mother didn't look so convinced, but as always understands and nods.

"I'll be in the back if you need to talk Kagome, please Inuyasha, take care of her," she said in a whisper of hope. I nodded at her and we watch her leave after she felt reassured by me.

Now alone once again with Kagome, she shook her head and walk around me to sit on the edge of her bed.

"Kagome?"

"I have a headache, can you give me some time? I need to collect myself." she lifts her gaze to look at me. I nodded at her, and turn towards her window and slide it open, placing my leg up ready to jump out.

"Inuyasha," her voice is almost so subtle and tender that it made me stop in my tracks, tweaking my ear.

"Yes?" I turned to face her and she bows slightly her head.

"Thank you." I didn't understand exactly why she was thanking me, but I shrug at her.

"Whatever," I said, knowing very well that's my way to say, you're welcome to her.

Opening the window I jump out the window leaving my sword behind knowing that I will be back and it's safe for now to leave it behind.

…..
...

I lay in my usual spot on the tree branch of the Goshinboku, looking at the bright blue sky, watching some clouds pass by as I hung my left leg out, pondering on Kagome's words.

How can that be? It makes no sense, from what Kagome told me, Naraku was in his full flesh demon form, he can't just take my Tessaiga like that. Can it be that fragment of the jewel that helped him? No, impossible, he had the fragment of the jewel before so he could have done it anytime. Gah, this makes no sense.

I scratched my head annoyingly when I heard a clear of the throat capturing my attention. I look down to see Kagome looking up at me holding a cap in hand.

"Kagome?" I stood up in the tree trunk with ease and jump down in front of her. She wasn't in her normal school uniform, but wearing what she calls jeans, and a loose white shirt, with her jet black hair tied in a high bun.

She looks amazing, after two years of traveling together, Kagome is surely changing, becoming more beautiful and alluring. And here I haven't had to courage to tell her how I feel, well, what can I hope for? She won't love half-breed dirt like me. At least I have her friendship which means more than anything in this world.

"Mama asked me to go to the store to buy items she's missing. I wanted to know if you wanted to go with me. The last timeline, I didn't go to go since I was at school." she asks me. She fiddle with my hat against her fingers blushing, but I can tell she wanted to distract herself.

"Is your headache gone?" I question her, but she shook her head.

"I took some medication, so can you come with me?" she hoped, I stare at her for a brief moment noticing that she was begging me with her big blue eyes.

Like I can refuse those eyes. Damn it.

"Do I have another choice?" I coyly said snatching the hat away from Kagome's hand and placing it over my head to cover my ears, which up to this day, still feel uncomfortable with it. Kagome smiles watching me head for the stairs. I didn't hear her footsteps, so I stop and turned to face her. She was just staring at me, not sure why but her stare felt strange, I can't name it, but it made my heart skip a beat.

"So you're assuming I will have money to buy those things while you stare at the air?" I rose a brow causing her to clear her throat.

"Sorry, I was thinking, let's go." she rushes her steps and makes it to my side, but her mind is so far off which made me worry.

"Are you going to tell your mother?" I broke the silence making her look up at me as we kept going down the stairs.

"I will soon, thank you for covering for me earlier, um… I was thinking, why didn't you react to my explanation, I mean it's a lot, I come from a year from now, and as well" I lift my arms and place them behind my head looking in the distance.

"I said before, I'm not sure how to react to it. You said it yourself, it's a year from now, now that you are back we can change things around. I know it's not easy, but we can't do much until it comes. For now, we have to contrate on what's in hand, and with your knowledge finding the jewels should be easier." I told her not sure how to console her since I'm not good at these things.

Kagome stops to fully turn towards me. I silently gulped, getting ready for that magical word that makes me kiss the ground, but she instead of becoming mad slumps her shoulder and nods at me.

"That is true, we can save everyone, and yes I have more knowledge now, so it can help. Thank you Inuyasha," she said finally giving me that smile that I love so much. I lift my hand and scratched my cheek feeling embarrassed.

"Um…" I had no idea how to approach this when Kagome grabs my hand and began to pull me down the stairs. I was stunned, looking at her.

"We can start now, I know where the rest of the shards are so we can begin it earlier than normal when we return, but the Shikon gave me a strange request." she began and she hasn't let go of my hand. My eyes kept fixed on our joined hands, feeling warm about this.

I never can get tired of holding her hand, it just fits so naturally. I wonder if my old man felt the same with my mother.

"The Shikon did?" I asked.

"It told me I will hear about a strange village soon and when so I have to go to it since the Shikon has a dept. Um… to be honest, last year I don't remember ever hearing about a strange village that will connect to the Shikon, normal Naraku will possess someone using a piece of the jewel, or demons will go after us to get our jewels, and among a lot of things." Kagome explained to me.

"Strange village? That wasn't n the original timeline, interesting," I soaked it in.

"It is, that's how it went, go to the past and discover new things. Let's go before Mama gets frustrated that we came late, lunch is coming soon and we hadn't had any breakfast," she said taking my hand once again. I nodded, and we begin to head down, but now those words played in my head.

Well, I remember the background story of the Shikon, but…. A dept? What dept?

…

...

The strange smell in the air made my nose stuffy again making me scrunch my nose, trying hard to not sneeze. I'm somewhat getting accustomed to Kagome's strange era, but not enough to feel sick by the smells.

I walk behind her with crossed arms looking around observing people around, as Kagome stops in front of a small convenience store where we normally go when we go shopping. Kagome opens the glass door but turns to face me.

"You know what," |Kagome stops half opening the door, forgetting where she was going.

"Well, I can't read your mind Kagome, what?" I arched a brow causing her to smile at me.

"I'm in the past, so that means I can do things I haven't done before, well not change things, um…"

"Excuse me?" I heard a small elderly voice echo in front of Kagome. I turn to see an elder hunch woman, with short gray hair looking at Kagome wanting to pass by. Her clothes are particularly old and ripped as though she hasn't changed in months.

I took notice her skin looks wrinkly and strangely pale, and her brown eyes twinkled as she was looking at Kagome.

Okay? That's not suspicious at all.

"Kagome," I called out pointing at the elderly lady. Kagome turns and flushes from embarrassment.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to block the entrance," she bows stepping to the side so the elder woman can pass by. I watch her step outside and turn to look at me, but her gaze changes to disgust, and pure hatred reeks out of her, not having a good feeling about this.

Old hag what got stuck in your butt? Wait, that smells demonic.

"Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Kagome took notice of my death glare toward the elder.

"That old hag, she smells demonic for some odd reason," I told her, but in a low voice so no one can hear us as we entered the store, hearing that blasted bell ring.

"Really?" Kagome asks making me nod at her and watching her grab the red plastic basket that is in front of the doors near a stand that is selling those magazine things Kagome love to read, the first thing she gets is the third magazine on the bottom shelf and place it inside of the basket.

"Yes, and she look at me with pure hatred, strange Kagome, you didn't pick something up?" I placed my hands inside of my sleeves following Kagome to the second aisle as she began to look for what she wanted to buy.

She stops in her tracks to turn to look at me and shook her head.

"No, I would normally pick up something, but I didn't, what in the world?" Kagome frowns confused by this as I am.

"Did we encounter another demon in this era last year? I mean this time in your time era? Okay, this is confusing as hell." I questioned her shaking my head.

Kagome who hunched down looking for some sauce lift her gaze at me and shook her head.

"No, not recently we haven't, mostly all back home in the Federal Era," she said to me she grabs a glass of soy sauce and lifts herself to look at me. She looks concerned now knitting her brows together.

"Did the Shikon tell you anything else?" I asked her. Kagome squints her eyes thinking back as I took the soy sauce out of her hands and place it in the red basket.

"Thanks," she whispers, but kept thinking, as we turn to our right slowly walking down the aisle.

"It said that things will change, that life can't be exchanged, that's about the most I remember. Now that I think of it, I think I'm missing something." Kagome looks uncertain about this.

What does that mean?

"Great more mind games," I mumbled under my breath.

"Then we have to keep an eye out, that aura from that old bat doesn't feel right," I told her,

"Geez don't' call her old bat, if you continue, I will have you sit….." her eyes widened when I felt my beads activate and this force overcame my very being pulling me down and making me slam myself into the grounds of the store, pains hot through me, as I felt myself twitch.

Kagome gasps in horror.

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry, I have forgotten," she bends down looking very worried that after a few seconds, the spell was over, that I could lift myself and rubbed my aching chin. I stood up giving Kagome a death glare.

"Next time do it in front of everyone, they missed the show!" I growled walking away from Kagome when I felt a hand on my arm and spun me around.

"I forgot Inuyasha, my mind is trying to adjust to this period, it is still fresh in my head, it's not easy for me, but I shouldn't have said those words, you didn't do anything wrong. I apologize," she said to me seeing the sadness in her eyes.

Don't do this to me.

"Huff, whatever," I came up, not sure how to approach this as Kagome smiles at me.

"Come here with me," she said turning around and I turned to follow her as well.

"About that older lady, if it happens again we'll follow her, but for now we have no idea, it can be the changes the Shikon has mentioned, but as anything, we just have to wait and investigate or just let it come to us,"

Kagome said as we reach three rows down, to see lots of strange things wrap in plastic, and lots of smells of spices and whatever the modern world uses, that overwhelmed my senses. I covered my nose with my sleeve, but let out a sneeze.

"Oi Kagome, are you trying to send my nose to the grave early?" I complained making Kagome stop and turn to me.

"Right, stay here then, give me a few minutes, and I'll be right back,"

"Just hurry," I told her. Kagome nods and rushes to get whatever she wanted. I took a step back when I perked my ears to hear that blasted bell ring once again indicating someone was coming in.

I turned since I couldn't smell if it was a woman or men entering, but I froze when I see that young boy that hangs out with Kagome in her school. He was smiling, wearing his school uniform, and bent down to grab those baskets things.

What the bloody hell is he doing here? Isn't he suppose to be at school or whatever it's called?

I kept my eyes sharply on him, watching buy things when I felt a hand on my arm.

"Inuyasha," Kagome snap me back making me turn to look at her.

"Did you sense another dark aura? Did the old hag... I mean elder came back?" she looks around, but I shook my head.

"Even worse," I said to her almost growling.

"Worse?" she gasps looking at me wide-eyed as I turn my gaze back to that boy watching him read some boxes as he picks each one two rows ahead of us. Kagome follows my gaze and her eyes widen, but slaps my chest.

"Oi, he's worse, oh no…." She takes my arm and bends me down so we can hide behind the shelves. I blinked rapidly and turn to look at her confused by this.

"Why are we hiding?" I asked her.

"You know, I love to play hid and seek with Hojo, you know the normal." she peaks up through the edge of the shelves but squeals as though he saw her and bends down. She places her hand on her chest trying to control herself.

Darn it, I can't smell anything, so I don't know if he's close enough, but his steps are tough.

"Kagome!" I hissed when Kagome sighs, took my arm, and began to guide me through the horrible smell, which I have no clue what it is, but I think Kagome's Mother told me once it's called perfume, I call it crapume. It smells horrible.

"So, here's the plan, we go around get everything paid and with your speed, we can almost fly out without being detected by Hojo." she looks very certain while fisting her hand and slamming it against her palm. I stare at her as though she was crazy.

"You don't want to say hi to Herbal boy?" I question her since he always smells like medical herbs.

"Herbal boy? N... No, he'll probably have a truckload of medicine of herbs for me, and as well I'm supposed to be sick also, after all these years, I still can't hurt his feelings…. Wait… He's supposed to be at school, why is he out at this time? Is only ten." Kagome checked her wristwatch as I shrug at her.

"How am I supposed to know why he's doing here, I'm not his guardian," I grumble causing Kagome to roll her eyes at me.

"I know you do not know, I was just… You know what, never mind, let's just go before we get caught." Kagome turns and froze as she slowly lift her gaze and I did the same to see Hojo-boy looking down at Kagome and me.

"Kagome," he looks so cheerful as I place my hand under Kagome's arm to help her stand since she looks frozen in place. She turns to look at me and gave me a 'Thank you,' look, and clears her throat.

"H…. Hojo," she nervously said.

I just stare at Hojo, removing my hand away from Kagome and burying my hands inside my sleeves.

Boy, you're nervous, why? Unless she has the power to control you, then don't be, be more nervous around me if you get close to her, I'll personally make you meet my fist. I couldn't help but smirk at the thought, when Hojo says, ignoring what conversation they were having, when I heard.

"I thought you were bedridden with explosive diarrhea, so I skip school to buy you some medication, but…" but he went silent as Kagome slowly turn to look at me.

"E... Explosive diarrhea? couldn't my grandpa use something less embarrassing," I heard her whisper under her breath, but I kept my eyes sharp on Hojo, seeing if he would make some uncertain move.

That's a bit extreme, I agree, but don't come near her, I'll take care of her.

"Inuyasha," she hissed, I blinked turning to look at her since she caught me giving a death glare at Hojo.

"What?" I blink innocently causing Kagome to lower her head in defeat.

"I'm so done with you. Hojo, I came to buy some medication for it, my mother is a bit busy to go, don't worry, go back to class before you get in trouble. I think today is um, the physical exams." Kagome reminded him. His eyes narrowed as though he just remembered.

"Right, I forgot about that, are you sure you don't need anything?"

"No, I have Inuyasha with me, so I'm good," she assured him.

"Wait, is this Inuyasha you mentioned before? I heard from Yuki that he's a stubborn, possessive bad-boy, two-timing scoundrel."

I rose my brows up slowly turning to face Kagome as she burst out in nervous giggles, scratching the back of her head.

"Okay that's a bit overboard, Inuyasha is very loyal, I might have slightly over-say things," she said but I was not amused at all, but kept looking at her.

Do I seem that way toward her? I mean yes in the beginning, but after so long, can't she feel or see my sincerity towards her? She after all is my best friend in this world, she's the only person in this world that has brought me from my dark into the light, without her, I'm nothing.

"But…."

"Hojo, you should go, before you get in trouble, I'll see you tomorrow," she assures him. Kagome grabs my arm and pulls me away from him. Yet I kept staring at her as though I was ready to do something, but not sure yet.

She pays for her things, grabs the bags, and says goodbye to the young girl behind the counter. Then she pulls me out of the store and lets go of my hand clearing her throat.

"Um….." she had no words to say as I turn my head away from Kagome, but deep down I felt wronged.

"Inuyasha," Kagome calls out for me, but I ignored her throughout, and Kagome frowns feeling heartbroken by this.

…..

...

...

Lunch was awkward so I ended up eating next to the tree, not daring to see Kagome, I'm trying to wrap my mind out of those words, as well as make sense of the future fight, my head is a mess.

"Inuyasha," I heard Kagome's mother call out for me, she has a small blue sweater over her and rubs her arms since the temperature was dropping a little. It's almost fall, it's late summer.

"Yes?" I lift my gaze to see her sit in front of the bench in front of me.

"Kagome is doing the dishes, did something happen between you two? I couldn't help but notice the tension between you two" she asks, I shrug at her as I took a stick from my right and began to doodle on the ground, trying to concentrate on how to word it.

"Nothing much, we met an herb boy in the store and he heard horrible things about me, well that's what I gather from Kagome's description of me to her friends," I explained.

"Herb boy?" she questions me, but I didn't reply to her, so she clears her throat and continues.

"So it bothers you?"

"Hell yes," I snap my eyes up at her. She crosses her arms across her chest and nods in a calm matter.

"I see,"

"Well, I don't, how the hell am I a two-timer scoundrel? I haven't cheated on Kagome,"

Even if I went to see Kykyo it doesn't mean anything, at first, I felt pity, but after a while, I wanted to just make her move on, nothing more or less. I don't want Kagome to think otherwise, I have no feelings for Kikyo, I just care about her after all we did have a history, but that's all. I don't love her.

"Also I'm possessive? The only reason I follow her is because of the jewels, but besides that, I give her space, am I that horrible in Kagome's eyes?" I asked her. Kagome's mother's eyes become tender and lifts her gaze to look at the tree behind me.

"Kagome is an open book, maybe she has over-spoken about you due to her emotions at those moments. Yet she's loyal and she is passionate, especially towards you. I'm sure she will explain it to you, you know Kagome, sometimes she speaks before she thinks things over, she is still a teenager." she explains.

Maybe, well I'm not much better either.

"Inuyasha, I have a favor to ask," she asks.

"Yes?" I couldn't say no to her, since she's been very kind to me.

"I have to clean the shrine soon, and Grandpa isn't as strong as he use to be, I need to move some things around, can you help me? Are you free this afternoon?" she asks of me.

"I got nothing else to do," I shrugged causing her to smile at me gently watching me doddle, not realizing I was drawing Kagome, Ms. Higurashi secretly smile at me.

"Inuyasha," she calls out,

"Hmm?" I lift my gaze to see her stand up.

"You are part of the family, there's no doubt about that, we love you, and Kagome, you're the most special person in her heart. My advice to you, listen to each other, and don't keep secrets in your hearts, is not healthy. Then I'll see you later, but for now, you should go and help Kagome in the kitchen."
I felt touched by her words making me timidly smile as I look down to see my drawing and arched a brow.

How come I never met this family while growing up? Maybe if so, I wouldn't hate humans, yet this one is making me care more and more.

Kagome's mother leaves and I stood up and headed for the back door, to see the door open, I stop to see Kagome washing the dishes, her eyes concentrated. I felt my breath catch, as she grazes her slim fingers through her jet-black hair behind her ear, giving me a view of her neck.

I swallowed hard.

Slowly I went up to her in a silent way and stood behind her. I lift my hands and pick up her soft hair in my hands and began to brush her hair. She froze lifting her gaze.

"Inuyasha?"

"Why did you put your hair down?" I asked as I look behind me to spot her hair band thing on top of the desk. So I pick it up and turn to tie her hair.

"Headache is not going away, even with the medication," she admits to me.

I felt saddened by this, watching Kagome turn, but I could hear her breath catch as she pushed herself against the counter, placing her hands at each side. I lift my hand and pressed it against her forehead. Kagome closes her eyes, taking a big breath, but I felt her slightly leaning into my touch.

Is she slightly warm, maybe is the side effect of the time travel? But she's used to it? I don't understand this but I know she should rest.

I lowered my hand to see Kagome staring at me strangely, her chest raising a bit rapidly, I can hear her heart race.

What's wrong with her?

Her cheeks are becoming a lovely pink, yet I couldn't help myself but get closer to her, feeling my own heart hammering against my chest.

I felt this strange pull towards her, as she inches closer to me, half closing her eyes.

"Inuyasha, about what happened… Happen earlier, don't listen to it, I just spit things out cause I was mad at you at those moments, and my friends just came up with those nicknames. Well, half is true, but not fully but don't doubt this, you're my best friend in this world, and a loyal friend you are. You're very special in my heart, and I blindly trust you. Apparently, I'm apologizing a lot to you today, but once again please accept my apologies," she rambles off.

Kagome lifts her head and her eyes half close, and almost grazes her nose against mine, almost loveling. My chest warms up at the gesture, feeling her tremble, as I felt myself going in that direction.

At least my senses are back to normal, she's telling the truth, as always, how can I doubt her?

"Well I hope this is the last time, next time you will have to pay," I threaten, she nods at me, even though I knew I had no heart to do so.

She's too precious to me to harm her.

"Oh, give me a moment," she placed her hand on my arm and squeezed it gently. Painfully she pulls back while I nodded at her, making her smile, but I can feel her relief and happiness about my response.

I saw her take a breath as though she was composing herself.

I watch her rush towards the living room. I turned to see the remaining dishes, so I rolled my sleeves and began to wash them for her.

To be honest, I wouldn't care much, but it hurts if it comes from her. Her opinion of me matters to me.

I finished washing the raiming of the dishes, as Kagome came in with a bag at hand.

"Inuyasha, come here please, I'll get to the dishes in a moment," she said while she place the bags on top of the table, but when she glance over the sink, she was surprised that I finished for her, the plates already laying upside down drying, thanks to Sota for teaching me.

Yet, she just smiles at me, 'Thank you,' her eyes expressed making me blush, but slightly nodded.

"What is it?" I questioned her crossing my arms and going up to her, she takes something out and place it behind her back smiling at me. I arched a brow now curious about this.

"Kagome?" I tried to peek around her, but she giggles placing her hand on my ear and rubbing it gently making me freeze as I look at her stun...

"Now, now be a good boy, and wait," she whispers.

I slowly began to feel my leg bounce how good that felt. Her soft fingers caressed my ears. I cleared my throat and jerk away from her, not trying to give away my weakness.

"No touching the ears," I scolded moving them, with a deep blush, Kagome gets closer to me, her eyes jumping with so much happiness, as she surprises me and place her hand on my chin and turns my head to look at her.

"I'm from the future, and I'm going to change some things around, I regret a lot of things when I watch you die in my arms. So from on, I'm going to change things around instead of following the same choices I made in the past. Inuyasha, last year for me, I spotted this gift and I was meaning to buy it, but I didn't dare to do so, so now that I get a second chance, I did, is not much, but I hope you like it."

She timidly moves her other hand around and lifts it to show me it was a book with a pencil thing on top.

"You want me to read something?" I asked taking it from her hands to inspect it, but it had no words on it, but lines. She shook her head.

"No, I want you to begin a journal, write down everything you want to say or do even if you can't express yourself. This will be your way to open up a little at least for yourself. You told me that it's hard for you to express yourself in a way you wanted so it becomes harsh, so I wanted to help you." she looks now uncertain as I stare at the blue book, then look at Kagome.

"And I bought you some extra Ramen," she giggles turning around to take out three boxes of ramen each different flavor. I perked my ears up at those words, but then look back down at Kagome's gift.

What am I supposed to say about this? I'm touched she thought of it, but….

Kagome came up to me and incircle her arms around my shoulder and shocks me when she kisses my cheek so gently. Electricity overcame my body, and my eyes narrowed.

"Ka… Kagome?" she smiles, burying her face in the crock of my neck, blushing hard.

"I can't help it Inuyasha, I'm overcome with so many emotions, watching you die affected me so much even worse when I thought I wouldn't see you again two winters ago. I realized how much you mean to me, is deeper than I realized. Seeing Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, as well as Kirara dead…. It was too much for me. I'm still thinking this is a dream, having you in here with me alive and so warm. Just give me some time, please until I adjust to this new life once again."

Then I felt Kagome going limp in my arms, making me hold her into me so she won't hurt herself.

"Kagome?" I called out turning to look at her, her face was so red breathing hard and my heart was now tearing up. I pick her up with ease in my arms and sprinted towards her room.

I'm so sorry Kagome, I didn't realize how much it affected you.

I hope everyone likes this chapter…. And Inuyasha's point of view, I tried my best to keep him in character
