Inuyasha and the priestess's broken heart

An InuxKag fanfic

CHAPTER 1

Secrets revealed

Inuyasha was battling Koga, again. But this time was different from the others, they were determined to see who Kagome would rush for, and whoever it was it was who she loved, though she was concerned for both, she only TRULY loved one of them. Then Koga got a good kick on Inuyasha and that was where the fight stopped, because Kagome had screamed and yelled for them to stop, and they did, well Koga did Inuyasha was thrown towards a tree.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, as he was attacked and was thrown against a tree rendering him unconscious, "*Kagome got REALLY mad* KOGA!"

"uh-oh." Said Hakkaku somewhat scared of what Kagome is about to do to Koga.

"why would you do that to him!"

"Kagome, that mutt is a threat to your health!" SLAP!

"He. Is. Not. A. Mutt. Koga."

"yes he is," SLAP!

"too bad I can't have you sat Koga."

"besides he hurt you!"

"no, I, hurt me."

"*quietly grunts and makes those muscle tension sounds, when someone wakes up from being unconscious. But no one noticed he was awake.*"

"since when do you care if I call him a-"

"you call him a mutt one more time and I will take Inuyasha's necklace off of him and put it on you, then have you sat."

"well since when have you cared if I call him that."

"because,"

"because why?"

"because, I-I I LOVE INUYASHA!"

then Inuyasha pretended to be just waking up, even though he now knows Kagome loves him, "ugh, crap."

"are you ok Inuyasha?"

"feh! my body is built a lot stronger than yours."

then she sat down next to Inuyasha, and hugged his neck, "yeah I know." "I was worried anyway."

"why do you care about that mutt so much!"

then Kagome's face turned fire truck red, the kind of red she only gets when she's about to "sit" Inuyasha, "KKOOGGAA!"

Inuyasha would have braced for a sit command, but she had turned to face Koga, "DON'T. EVER. EVER. CALL. INUYASHA. A. MUTT. EVER. AGAIN!" she screamed at the wolf demon named Koga in a state of pure fury.

"Kagome, it's ok, he won't call me a mutt again, I'm sure of that, he's seen what you do when I tick you off, so I doubt he wants to be "sat", it hurts." Inuyasha tried to calm the girl down, as he hugged her

"oh yeah! -" Koga was about to say the word mutt, when Inuyasha shook his head and looked at him with a, "don't go there she might kill you if you do right now, just let me calm her down" look

"grrr! You win this time! But I'll be back! I'm never going to give up on winning Kagome over." Koga called out as he ran off, then thought, 'mutt'

"hey Kagome do you want to go home or just sleep here, you look exhausted"

"thanks, I just want to stay here with you, but you can go up to a tree if you'd prefer." Kagome said beginning to fall asleep in Inuyasha's lap

then as she slept in his arms he jumped into a tree. and stared at her deep in mumbled, "she loves me? A weak half breed, how can she LOVE me?" as he mentally doubted the fact she loves him, she kind of moaned angrily in her sleep, and started to talk in her sleep as she always does, "I... LOVE... INUYASHA..." as she continued her napping she snuggled deeper into Inuyasha's chest, and he just watched the girl nap, '*mental sigh* she REALLY DOES love me. there's no doubt about it, she really does!' "*peaceful, happy, content sigh*" then he whispered happily, "I love you too Kagome"

and he could have sworn he saw her smile after he said that.

Hours passed, Kagome was still asleep Inuyasha had drifted off about half an hour ago, then suddenly Kagome started to flip out, because she was having a nightmare about her worst fear; losing Inuyasha forever.

Inuyasha got the holy crap scared out of him, "KAGOME? KAGOME! KAGOME WAKE UP! COME ON!" she was shaking her softly, but no good, "PLEASE KAGOME! I NEED YOU AROUND! I- I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO LOSE YOU! PLEASE WAKE UP." then has he begged one single tear escaped him, and hit Kagome's cheek, and she woke up instantly, and as she did she heard the pleas of the man she loved so dearly, begging her to wake up, saying over and over he loved her. "ungh-unnggh.." what Inuyasha heard sounded like music to his ears, inwardly he was ecstatic but he kept his demeanor surprisingly well for how happy he was, "Ka-Ka-gome?" she looked up into his gorgeous golden eyes, "yeah?."

"are you ok? You kind of freaked out."

"yeah, I'm ok." She answered as she snuggled back into him, he was so soft, so warm, so comforting, and welcoming.

"while you were sleeping you said... you said you love me. Did you mean it?"

Kagome was mentally ticked off at herself for telling him so soon, "uh-huh, I did, do you feel the same way? I mean about me."

"of course I do."

"really?" Kagome asked happily.

"yes. Really, I really do love you Kagome. I was so worried about you there. Did you have a nightmare or something?"

"uh-huh" Kagome answered as she nodded her head while just sitting in Inuyasha's arms.

"what about?"

then she looked into his eyes, they sent Inuyasha a message, Kagome was scared to tell him, "Kagome you can tell me" he said as he held her head in one of his clawed hands comfortingly.

"... *super nervous sigh* you."

"m-me?"

"uh-huh, but it was just about LOSING you. your death. Band of seven. You know nightmare stuff."

"you mean you had a nightmare where one of the band of seven killed me?"

Kagome suddenly started to cry uncontrollably, "uh-huh."

"were you hurt in the nightmare?"

"no but I don't see how that matters I-"

"it matters to me, YOU matter, I love you."

"*sniffle*thank you Inuyasha." Then he hugged her not wanting her to hyperventilate.

'it's getting hard to cry'

"listen Kagome" Inuyasha said not pulling her out of the hug, "I thought I'd lose you when you started to have that nightmare, because I thought I wouldn't be able to wake you up, I was terrified, of the thought of losing you."

'my tears, they have all dried up.' Then Kagome slowly pulled out of the hug, "I'm sorry Inuyasha."

"huh? Why are you saying that? You didn't do anything wrong."

"I scared you."

"no I scared me."

"oh, hahaha, very funny Inuyasha."

"*tiny chuckle* it is"

"that's almost exactly what I told Koga when he hurt you." she said suspiciously

"oh really why?"

"he said, besides Inuyasha hurt you."

"feh! I couldn't do that even IF I wanted to. I just can't."

"I know."

"but that doesn't go both ways, because it really hurts to be sat!"

"I'll definitely try to use that command less often."

"thank you, I'll at least try to nicer to you more often."

"thank you." "I love you."

"that's the third time you've said that Kagome."

"you heard me, yell that at Koga didn't you Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking up at him from her position on his lap.

"yeah but not everything, I really WAS knocked unconscious for a minute."

"well what DID you hear?"

"I could really only make out your voice, Koga's voice was REALLY distorted from the fact I was thrown against a tree."

"I was really mad at him for that!"

"I also heard you scream my name. I knew but couldn't believe you loved me."

"why didn't you believe it?" she asked turning around in his arms and on his lap.

"because I am only a half-breed?"

"how in the world can you say that." "one of the reasons why I love you, but it's a very insignificant reason"

"but how can you love a half demon?"

"because the half-demon is you, Inuyasha."

CHAPTER 2

desires

"I REALLY. DO. LOVE YOU. INUYASHA" she said searching his eyes.

"yeah I know that but-"

"why are you so hung over about being a Hanyou?"

"because I can't protect you very well as a weak half demon."

"no. you protect me perfectly as a half-demon." "and besides I love these adorable dog ears of yours." She said reaching for one.

"don't touch the ears K-Kagome."

"why not?"

"be-because, I do-don't li-ke it when peo-people to-touch m-my e-ears."

"then why can I hear you purr?" she said playfully

"because it feels nice" He said sounding actually kind of happy

"I love you and your weird phobia about having your ears rubbed"

"I-LOVE-YOU!"

"why are you purring SO loud?"

"you are ru-rubbing bot-both e-ears."

Then she stopped for a second and hugged him slightly, and playfully said "you are a very strange dog."

"hey! I am not a dog! I AM half human!"

"I was only kidding Inuyasha! I know you are only half dog demon!"

"do you want me to rub your ears again?"

"sure ok." And she did Inuyasha was feeling something he had NEVER felt before, the overwhelming urge to kiss Kagome fiercely and passionately. And the urge was growing fast, and he couldn't fight it back for much longer.

'why do I feel this strong need to kiss Kagome?' 'if I keep fighting it I am going to hurt one of us, most likely Kagome because she is only human.'

"Inuyasha? You sound like you are kind of past just plain purring" she was concerned so she stopped rubbing his ears but the noise didn't stop

"come here." He said fiercely, but he sounded, wanting, not demanding. So she did, she sat strait up face to face with him, and she knew he had a strong need to kiss her, so she kissed him, since he didn't want to hurt her. She would have tried to pull away, but there was passion, sense-dulling chemicals forming, and, fury, but not anger fury, but the type of fury one can only have if they have an extreme desire to prove one's love to the one they truly love. And Inuyasha definitely has that.

When the long kiss subsided.

Then Inuyasha pulled back slowly, unsure if he injured the one he loved

"Kagome. I- I got a bit-"

"no. no, you didn't, you were actually pretty gentle" "would you like me to rub one of your ears?"

"no, it seemed to trigger what just happened, to me it almost felt the same as when I turn full demon, I thought I hurt you, and that thought terrifies me." He said with a look of pure anguish and sorrow.

"I know a saying that might cheer you up."

"what is it?"

{A/N ok while I was writing I thought of the sweet sorrow Shakespeare thing. If you don't like it, TOO DANG BAD! I'M WRITING IT!

SO CRAM IT UP YOUR CRAM HOLE!- White Goodman, dodge ball.}

"love is such sweet sorrow" Kagome quoted, "it means [*1] it rocks but has it's downsides, like right now for example, I love you more than anything, and you keep thinking you are going to hurt me if you show any of your true feelings, and so when you DO show them you feel guilt that you shouldn't be feeling."

{A/N *1 I am improvising I don't have any clue what it actually means.. so yet again just CRAM IT UP YOUR CRAM HOLE! If you don't like it.}

"thanks Kagome, it did help a little." Then he heard rustling in the bushes, "ggrrr. Whoever you are COME OUT!" Inuyasha screamed as he unsheathed and transformed his tetsusiaga.

"calm down, calm down." "I just came by to tell Kagome something, half-breed."

"KOGA! STOP IT! STOP CALLING INUYASHA DEMEANING NAMES UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SAT!"

"it hurts. A lot." Inuyasha said sheathing his sword, "I can still remember the first time Kagome used the sit command, man that one REALLY hurt."

"I just came to TALK to Kagome."

"it isn't about choosing you as my mate again is it Koga?" "because I have told my answer already 15 times and counting."

"no it isn't that, I have learned I can't change your mind there. It's about Ayame."

"Ayame? What about her?"

"I want to figure out if she likes me. If I can't have you I'll just admit defeat there. But I don't want to be lonely and truth be told I like her, so can you help me? Please?"

"sure Koga. As long as Inuyasha is fine with it, cause he won't let you go ANYWHERE with me alone. EVER."

"got that right." Inuyasha said smugly

"please Inuyasha let me take her to my den and talk to Ayame and find out if she likes me."

"ok, but 1, I'm going to be the one taking her, 2, you stay in my range of sight whenever Kagome isn't. and 3," BONK.

"HEY what was that for?"

"for throwing me into a tree, but I also have to thank you."

"really?"

"yeah, you made Kagome admit she loves me and because of that I was able to do the same. So thank you." "but don't let it go to your head."

"let's get going."

"ok, hop on Kagome." She did and as he was running she hugged him instead of just holding on for stability.

"so you two mated yet?"

Kagome's face turned so many shades of red there were even some that haven't even been named yet, some undiscovered, some are a normal color in terms of blushing, one was bright crimson red

"no we haven't."

"hmm. Taking things slow? Interesting."

"HEY what do you mean interesting? You get back here!"

"he never changes huh Inuyasha?"

"feh, neither will that lecher miroku."

"yeah. I wonder how many times Sango has slapped him today alone."

"definitely twice already, I know I heard one of them and it sounded painful for him."

"oh look Inuyasha Koga's den is coming into view."

"and so is the stench of wolf, I can also smell Ayame, Ginta, Hakkaku, that mangy wolf Koga, and many others."

"yeah, maybe I am getting a demon's sense of smell cause I can kind of smell the scent of Koga."

"heh you definitely are getting a demon's sense of smell."

"I wonder how."

"maybe it was when we kissed."

"maybe."

"hahaha. I can hear Koga, he heard us talking just now! he is fun to mess with."

"you are so mean to him!" Kagome said giggling

"he tried to take you, isn't that enough to hated him?"

"maybe for you but I don't hold grudges that small"

"SMALL?" "Kagome he tried to take the one thing I love more than anything."

Then they reached the actual wolf den, talking about things that some how relate to Kagome.

"hey Kagome! Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to." She lied.

'feh." Inuyasha scoffed angrily

"hey Koga. Why don't you and Inuyasha go hunt or something, you know to bond." "but don't kill each other."

"ok."

"feh whatever." Inuyasha said nonchalantly

"hey Ayame can I talk to you privately?"

"yeah sure." Ayame said as the two girls walked into the forest, "What about?"

"do you like Koga?"

"why do you?"

"OH NO NO NO NO. I love Inuyasha!" "I was just wondering if you like Koga."

"well does he like me?"

"*sigh* ok Ayame he asked me to ask you if you like him cause he wants to know if he should ask you to be his mate."

"ok, well thanks for letting me know Kagome!"

"you going to ask him or should I tell him he should ask you?"

"you tell him, I want to see how he asks me."

"ok I will, but I'd better get going, they HATE each other, and Inuyasha can do a lot of damage when he wants to,"

CHAPTER 3

Insecurities

"so why do you like her?"

"I just do. So stop asking"

"!INUYASHA!" they both heard Kagome calling Inuyasha.

"see ya later mangy wolf!" he said as he was about to dash off to Kagome.

"not so fast mutt" 'I am probably going to get a slap for that when I see Kagome again', "I need to know. Why do you love her so much."

"I JUST DO."

"THAT'S NOT A REASON."

"*agitated growl-sigh* fine, I'll tell you."

then Inuyasha told Koga a long story of why Inuyasha loves Kagome.

"and that's why I love her, happy now."

"yes, yes I am, I also know where I went wrong with winning her over, but it's too late now for fixing that."

"yeah, she yelled at you good when you threw me against that tree, I heard some of it, but I could really only recognize her voice for some reason."

"true unyielding love."

"what?"

"that's why. When you got hurt, you could only make out your true love's voice, because your brain was trying to organize what was happening at that moment, but so that you didn't get confused any further, you could still hear some things one of which was, in your case, Kagome."

"oh. That makes sense. I couldn't really recognize your voice, only Kagome, and the fact she slapped some one."

"which was me for calling you a mutt."

"feh! You never learned have you?"

"learn what."

"look up."

"oh..."

"KOGA, -"

"it's ok, Kagome, he wasn't actually calling me a mutt this time, let's just go, so you can calm down."

"yeah that sounds like a good idea, oh and Koga Ayame wants you to ask her to be her mate." "let's go Inuyasha."

Then Inuyasha dashed off with Kagome on his back.

After they to Kagome's time, and sat on top of a tree deep in the woods by her house.

"I am glad you aren't her, because I love you so much Kagome."

"I love you too Inuyasha." She said hugging him lovingly.

"I know, but -"

"you STILL doubt it?"

"kind of yeah."

"how can you doubt it?"

"because I am a HALF demon."

"UGH! You are STILL on that Inuyasha?"

"but I am."

"and I love BECAUSE you are a half demon and NOT a full demon."

"but I could protect-"

"please, just don't go there again. I LOVE you just the way you are, dog ears and all. Especially the ears, they are adorable!" she said reaching for them, even though she knew he would stop her somehow.

"they-they are?" he asked as she rubbed both of his ears.

"yes, adorably cute."

"well, I guess that is a good thing about being a half dog demon, it gave me these cute little dog ears you love."

"but I love you more than you will ever know."

"hey don't you still have those really strong spiritual powers?"

"OH YEAH!" "I forgot!" "KEIKO! AVION!"

"I forgot completely."

"would have preferred if I were human?"

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed, in a state of pure shocked anger, turning around to face him

'oh crap! She's going to sit me!'

then she sat down in front of him, "Inuyasha, don't say that. I love you as a human, I love you as a full demon, but I prefer you as a half demon. you are perfect just the way you are right now, a half dog demon, so don't ever even think about permanently changing yourself, I love you for you, not only for the protection, but for you being you."

"thank you." he said hugging her warmly.

"so..."

"yeah, I know and believe you love me."

"completely?"

"yeah."
