Alright here's the next chappy for my loyal viewers and reviewers. Nothing much will be happening in this chappy...much. I'm trying to make it as interesting as possible and I'm going to be going over my story once I'm finished with it. I'll possibly do a rewrite so I hope you enjoy it now!!! ^_^

Disclaimer:

Me: No. Inuyasha doesn't belong to me neither by the way do the Inuyasha characters belong to me. *cries sadly on pillow* I can only dream about those things.

Well here's your next chappy ppls. :-)

Chapter 6

Confessions on a Tree

--------------

The sun was slowly setting in the background. The sky was starting to turn dark. Ready to end another perfect day. At least a perfect day for those who had a perfect day today. I on the other hand had a youkia at my throat ready to kill me on the spot.

"Please, Inuyasha...." I whispered out. Inuyasha though wasn't going to listen, he tightened his grip making me yell out in surprise.

Miroku decided it was time to take action He raised his staff in the air and came charging towards us. Sango at seeing him, raised Hiraikotsu in the air and charged forward as well.

My mind was spinning, not liking how this was going to end. I looked over at Sango then at Miroku. They were both charging with incredible speed but Inuyasha's youkia side caught on to their plan. He instantly jumped up in the air bringing me with him by the neck. I dropped my bow and arrow and grabbed on to his hands for dear life.

Thankfully he wasn't going to kill me straight forward. He landed on a nearby tree and pushed me up against the tree's trunk. Oh no, I thought. He is going to kill me isn't he?

Inuyasha came closer to me baring his teeth. I flinched but other than that didn't go to protect myself. I deserved this I guess. I lived a good life I don't have any regrets, oh wait, yes I do. I regret wishing on that tree and not staying here to take care of Inuyasha. That is my one and only regret I will never be able to take back.

I wished Inuyasha would just hurry and kill me now. His hand kept clenching and unclenching on my throat. I could see why when I looked up at him to see what the problem was. Inuyasha was having a battle inside of him, I could see it in his eyes. One part, probably his youkia side, wanted nothing more than to kill me. While his other part, his human side, knew that it was wrong and that he shouldn't do this.

I swallowed and opened my mouth to say something, anything. "Inuyasha, please don't." I whispered desperately. His grip loosened but he kept his hand at my throat. I breathed in some oxygen before I continued to speak.

"Inuyasha I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left. I didn't know this would happen if I did. I thought you'd go to...Kikyo." I whispered her name. Inuyasha's youkia side seemed to calm down slightly but his eyes were still a murderous red. I was afraid I'd lose him if I didn't do anything. So with his hand still around my neck I leaned forward, he tightened his grip, and hugged him.

Inuyasha went rigged. His hand was still gripping my neck so it was kind of an awkward position. His body seemed to give way and he went slack against me.

Surprised I backed up against the tree's trunk. Inuyasha came tumbling forward and I hastily grabbed him before he fell to the ground. Understanding dawned on me, and I looked down at Inuyasha to see his hair turn black and his nails turn to normal.

Swallowing I hesitantly looked past him to the ground. I closed my eyes, great I'm what 20 feet from the ground. Leaning back against the tree I was on I started to slip to a sitting position until I remembered Inuyasha was knocked unconscious.

Giving out an exsasperated breath I quickly mounuvered Inuyasha's body so he was facing away from me. I slipped into a sitting position and layed Inuyasha in front of me, with his head in my lap.

I let a sigh escape my lips. Inuyasha was going to be burning angry when he woke up and I'll be stuck up here until Miroku and/or Sango find me. I just wasn't ready for a talk to talk with Inuyasha especially if he was going to go youkia on me. I did tell him I was sorry, I sighed again, but sometimes sorry doesn't cut it.

Looking down at Inuyasha's human form I felt a small smile tug at my lips. He looked so peaceful you wouldn't have believed he'd been on a rampage all day. He then started to stir in his sleep and I prayed he wouldn't wake up but my my prayers weren't answered.

Inuyasha's eye lids slowly opened. He had to blink about a dozen times to make sure I wasn't going to disappear like an illusion. When he was satisfied his eyes narrowed into slits. I gulped, I was going to be dead by the end of this conversation, I just knew it.

"What the hell, Kagome!?!? Where in the hell have you been? Do you know how worried-everyone has been?" He was furious and he stumbled over his third question/insult.

At first I felt guilty about worrying him but the guilt was quickly swept away as I remembered why I had just vanished. I narrowed my eyes right back and started my own ranting. "Inuyasha you have no idea how I felt when I did what I did. It was stupid what I did and I felt bad about it, I did. You know what though? It was all your fault that I made that stupid wish or request from the tree. It was your fault Inuyasha."

By the end Inuyasha was staring up at me in confusion. He had no idea what I was getting at. I didn't explain it to him though, he should understand soon enough.

Soon the silence was interrupted by the shouts of Sango and Miroku. "KAGOME!" came Miroku's bellowing shout. My head swirled toward the voice, grateful to be out from Inuyasha's glare. When I heard another shout close by I opened my mouth and shouted, "SANGO, MIROKU!!!"

Inuyasha grumbled under his breath. I gave him a curious glance but, all he said was "Keh." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, I would only be stooping down to his childish level. Instead I turned my gaze away from the grumpy hanyou, to the ground to see if Sango or Miroku were there yet.

It only took 12 minutes before I heard Sango's voice from below. "Kagome?!? Are you up there?" I called down saying that "Yes I was and so was Inuyasha." Looking down at Inuyasha now I wondered if he'd be able to get us down.

Inuyasha seemed to read my mind. "I don't think I'm going to be able to get us down. We're too high up and the branches are too far apart." I sighed and closed my eyes. Guess we'll be up here all night till Inuyasha gets his powers back in the morning.

Sango seemed to be worrying and called up again. "Kagome? Are you all right? Why doesn't Inuyasha bring you down?" I opened my eyes and looked down to see a flash of Miroku's purple clothing but it was too dark for me to be sure. Also I couldn't even see how far this branch was to the one below me it could be a whole four inches and I wouldn't know.

I strained my eyes to look for Sango while calling down. "It's a new moon tonight and Inuyasha can't see in his human form. Besides we're about 20 feet from the ground! We'll just wait here until the sun comes up tomorrow. You two can go ahead to Keadae's hut, Shippo will be worried and so will Kirara." From below I heard two affirmatives. Faintly I heard the rustling of leaves then quiet.

I breathed in and out slowly and suddenly remembered Inuyasha was laying in my lap being quiet. I looked down expecting to see a sleeping human but Inuyasha was laying there, watching me closely. I felt my face heat up for some unknown reason and I looked away trying to hide it.

"Uh, Inuyasha?" My voice came out in a whisper.

"Yeah?" Was his reply.

"Could you, uh, I don't know, get out of my lap?" I looked anywhere but at him. Finding the branches above me quite interesting despite the fact I couldn't see them.

Inuyasha's weight on me didn't lift from my lap, though. With irritation seeping through my veins I looked down at him. He just smirked at me and stayed planted where he was. "Who's to say you won't just suddenly vanish once I move away? Huh?" I didn't resist the roll of my eyes. How ridiculous, as if I could just come and go as I please. What happened with the tree was probably a one shot deal, never to happen again.

"Whatever." I muttered under my to relax some I leaned my back up against the tree's rough trunk.

Inuyasha decided to break the silence. "So what were you talking about? When you were saying how you felt about whatever happened?"

I took my time before answering him. "Inuyasha...do you remember when you went to go see...Kikyo?" I asked him, my voice small. Inuyasha nodded his head in reply. "Well..you see, uh, I saw what happened Inuyasha." I finished off quickly. I looked away in shame but wasn't sorry in the least.

Inuyasha was surprised. Then he whispered, "You saw what happened?"

I nodded with tears in my eyes. "That's why I left. I thought that since you were going to be with Kikyo that nothing was going to be happening. Uh...NOT that anything WAS happening..." I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment. "Anyways, what I mean is that, that's why I just vanished." I continued on telling him about the god tree's ability to transport me to my era. (I didn't feel like writing down everything, you get the point already.)

Inuyasha, thankfully, listened till I was finished. When he spoke his voice was sketched with amusement, "So that's why you left." He shook his head, which made his hair brush against my legs, sending shivers up my spine. "Kagome you weren't there to see it all. You have NO idea what happened. When you said that you saw what happened I thought you knew everything. Damn Kagome you're wrong about everything."

My mind was racing with questions. What the hell was Inuyasha rambling on about? What else was there to see? What did I miss?

Inuyasha didn't tell me though. Instead he stated something very clearly and precisely. Something that caught me off guard and just came out of no where. His words rung in my ear like bells,

"I love you, Kagome."

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Alright now I know some of it didn't come out like you thought it would. I didn't put in the ideas my reviewers thought I should do. And I am deeply sorry about that, it's just that I already had this chapter started so I just went along with it.

Also I know that Inuyasha and Kagome aren't really uh what's the right phrase? Hitting it off, but I'm just not good with lovey dovey stuff. So sorry about that. I'd like to thank all my reviewers out there and that I will try and finish my story in the next chappy.

So PLEASE review and tell me how I did with this one. Oh and also I tried to make this one a lot longer since I haven't been updating as fast as I should be. *runs away and hides inside closet* So so so so sorry about not updating for a while!!!! Oh please review and I promise to try and work around my schedule to get my next chappy up...!!

So till my next update. Daddy'sPoetryAngel out! ^_^
