Liberation
Shippou jumped on his father immediately but taking after his father for once, instead of bursting into chatter, whimpered to show he was worried and after a comforting growl directed his way he settled into sleep against his chest. Yamazaki smiled slightly and lifted one hand to cradle the small boy. "I've been really worried," Kagome admitted, "I spent so long by you hoping you'd wake up, it sucks I wasn't there when you did."
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why does it 'suck'?"
She looked a little embarrassed all of a sudden.
"Come on, tell me, please." He smiled at her gently and he saw the adoration in her eyes, yes she knew, and he knew, but for some reason the silence didn't do it this time, he wanted the opposite, he wanted, needed her to actually verbalize it.
"Fine, becauseIloveyou."
"What was that?" He asked even though he'd heard her perfectly, he had long grown accustomed to her speaking far too fast, words tripping over each other. He remembered again the hysterics he'd nursed her through all those years ago, numerous times.
"I wanted to be there when you woke, and stayed by you the amount of time I did because... I love you." It seemed to liberate her. "I love you Yamazaki, I love you, I love you, I love you so much, and I was so worried when I saw you were hurt, but you have survived, I knew you know, you do not seem like one to break his promises. You survived the thunder brothers, you looked after Shippou, you promised you wouldn't fucking die on me!"
He smiled one of his gentle loving smiles, and then he beckoned with his finger for her to lean down to his level. Confused and intrigued as to why he was so quiet all of a sudden she did what he wanted to hear what he had to say. But he didn't want to say anything. As soon as she was close enough he darted forward and kissed her, 'I love you too Kagome, my Kagome.'
