"Come on, come on!" Inuyasha never once let go of her hand.
"Slow down," Kagome panted. "I'm not as fast as you."
"Sorry," he looked out as he pulled her through the foliage. As he reached the destination, he pulled her down into a sitting position on the grass. She followed gratefully and took deep breaths as the both look down over the hill.
"What - "
"Shh!" He covered her mouth with his other hand. "It's a surprise!"
He nodded and he removed his hand. He held her other hand tight and looked out into the night sky focusedly. Kagome stared out as well, anticipation building. The sound of crickets and birds filled the silence as well as the wind. And the sun set, inky darkness covering the land in its shadowy blanket. Kagome looked around.
And suddenly, the stars seemed to be moving. They fell from the sky little by little and began fluttering around, igniting the light in their warmth. Kagome realized that they were little lights and not stars. She held her hands out to the beautiful scene and looked on in awe.
"They're so bright," she commented quietly. "Like sparkly stars!"
Inuyasha's face broke into a grin and he clasped her hand tighter in his, feeling the warmth flood into him. Kagome's beating heart sounded next to his and he could practically bathe in her happiness. She squeezed back and leaned over ever so slowly, pecking him on the cheek. She pulled away just as fast, letting her head fall inti his lap. She curled up to him and looked up into the night sky. Inuyasha paused for a moment, completely caught off guard. Then he smiled a goofy smile and looked up to the sky as well.
He just didn't know that very moment changed his life forever.
