Inuyasha had no idea where he wanted to go. All he knew was that he needed to be someplace where he felt safe. He didn't know if there was such a place any more. All he kept thinking up in the tree was what if Kagome fell out of it.
He was shocked that he had slept at all. What Kagome didn't know was that he had been trying to sleep for the past few hours but he was sleeping in ten minute intervals before the nightmare started again. Every time he closes his eyes, he still sees Kagome shooting an arrow at Naraku preventing him from catching her and watching her fall to her death. The biggest thing about it was that she did it for him. She did it so that he wouldn't have to choose. What if he was slower? What if she fell faster? What if something that had happened to her?
With a growl of anger, frustration and terror he all but dropped Kagome as he started pacing the meadow. He never paced but if he didn't keep moving, he would lose his mind.
"Inuyasha," he heard Kagome whisper as he continued to pace. He knew what he wanted to do, but he wasn't sure if it was something Kagome would allow him. He could picture the biggest SIT ever, however he had to do it. Mind made up, he went over to Kagome and held out his hand. She automatically put her hand in his and he pulled her to her feet.
Looking down in her liquid brown eyes filled with concern, he gulped. He blushed as he said "I have to do this…I can't…I'm sorry." With that he leaned down and kissed her.
