Chapter One: The Truth
"Go away, Inuyasha! I'm not talking to you! I'm going home and if you try to stop me I'll say it!" Kagome screamed at the hanyou behind her as she ran towards the bone eaters well. "What's your problem?! We have to find the jewel shards! What are you mad at me for anyway!?" Inuyasha said using his youkai gift of speed to catch up to Kagome who was running as fast as she could with her huge pack strapped on her back. Inuyasha reached her and jumped in front of her. She yelped and turned to her right hoping to get around the glaring hanyou but he grabbed her arms. It was midnight and she wanted to leave. She had waited till everyone was asleep but she had unfortunately not noticed the hanyou watching her from half closed eyes.
"I don't have to tell you why I am leaving and I have a right to go back to my time when I want!" Kagome hissed at him. Her eyes glittered dangerously making Inuyasha's eyes widen a bit in surprise. He glared as Kagome tried to pull out of his hold on her arms. Kagome stopped struggling when she heard a low pitched growl. Looking up at Inuyasha her eyes widen in fear. He was glaring at her and his growling was getting louder. "You can't leave." Inuyasha said tightening his hold on her arms. Kagome winced at the increased pressure. She held very still and tried to think about what she could do but Inuyasha's words echoed through out her mind, pushing all thoughts to the side.
"You can't leave." The words went through her mind and suddenly Kagome became angry. How dare Inuyasha tell her what she can and can not do! She didn't belong to him or to any other man. "You have no right to tell me what to do. I don't belong to you. Besides, I'm not Kikyo." Hissed a very pissed and somewhat hurt, Kagome. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and asked in a gruff voice, "You think I want you to be Kikyo? She's dead. You're not her, you're you. The thing that wanders this realm is a zombie, nothing but dirt, bones, and ashes. I don't love her anymore. And I will tell you what to do because you do belong to me!"
"And I will tell you what to do because you do belong to me!" This new thought echoed in Kagome's mind. "You don't want me to be Kikyo." Kagome whispered. She lowered her gaze from the hanyou's face and stared at the ground. "I don't want you to be her. I want you to be you." Inuyasha said, releasing her left arm. He then took his right hand and cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his eyes. "I don't belong to you." Kagome said her eyes narrowing. Inuyasha hissed and said, "Yes, you do."
"Sit." Kagome said and to her surprise Inuyasha held on to her, pulling her down with him. "Did you really think I didn't know you would say that?" Inuyasha asked gripping her arms with his hands once again. Kagome glared at him. "Listen to me, Kagome. I need to tell you something." Inuyasha said and he let out a small sigh of relief when Kagome nodded, showing she would listen even though she was pissed. After a moments pause Inuyasha began. "Kagome, you do belong to me. From the moment I woke at the tree I have claimed you as mine. Why do you think Kouga and I fight so much? It's the same reason I want to kill Miroku when he touches you. I want you all to myself. I'm a hanyou but my father was a full inu youkai. I have inherited his instincts. And because of that I will chose a mate. The one I chose will be my mate for life." Inuyasha paused for breath and to let his words sink into Kagome.
Claimed me as his? But he doesn't love me, does he? Kouga. he wants me a for his woman and Inuyasha tries to kill him every time he comes near me. Miroku is a lecher and Inuyasha acts like he's gonna kill Miroku when he touches me. But what does Inuyasha want me to understand by telling me about him choosing a mate? What does it have to do with me and why if he has to chose a mate does he say he claimed me as his and......Oh my god! He said he claimed me as his......he will claim a mate for his self.....does that mean....me? Kagome asked herself and her heart started to beat uncontrollably.
Inuyasha felt her hearts increased pace. I think she may have just figured it out. He thought to himself, a small yet wicked grin appeared on his face then he frowned as Kagome tried to pull away a bit. Inuyasha sat up, the subduing spell having worn off. He removed Kagome's pack from her back and calmly placed her in his lap. She sat still, saying nothing. Her heart was still racing and her thoughts were racing back and forth in her mind. All her thoughts ran together in on big jumble making no sense at all. "Kagome, look at me." Inuyasha said gently. Kagome heard him but his voice seemed far away. Still, she looked at him and her breath caught. He's so handsome. The thought pushed all others into order and suddenly she could make sense of her thoughts. She took a deep breath while still looking at Inuyasha's golden eyes.
"Kagome, do you know what I meant when I said I claimed you as mine?" Inuyasha asked his voice soft and full of something although Kagome wasn't sure of what it was at first. "I think I do." Kagome whispered, suddenly out of breath. Inuyasha sighed and wrapped his arms around Kagome, pulling her against his firm chest. She stiffened, and Inuyasha stroked her raven black hair. She calmed down a bit and leaned into his chest. A sigh escaped her lips and Inuyasha smiled. "Do you like it here?" He asked still stroking her hair. "Hai." She said, while unconsciously playing with the beads around his neck.
"Kagome, I need to tell you something that I should have said long ago. However I want you to promise me that you will answer me truthfully because I will also be asking you something as well. Okay?" Inuyasha said a bit breathlessly, feeling Kagome's nod of agreement against his chest. He took a deep breath then let the words he had wanted to say for so long out. "I love you. I have loved you since I woke at the tree. I just didn't know what to do because I thought I could never love again after Kikyo betrayed me. It took me so long to gather the courage to tell you how I feel. I know that I am a jerk to you but it's just a front, Kagome. I want you to be my mate. I want you to stay here with me or even in your world so long as we stay together. Can we stay together, Kagome? Do you love me? And are you willing to be my mate?" Inuyasha asked breathlessly. He was afraid of Kagome's response. He knew that she could reject him and hate him for loving her but something inside told him that he must tell her how he felt.
Inuyasha's words hit Kagome full force in the heart. He loves me. He wants me to stay with him even if we must stay in my world.and he wants me to be his mate. Oh my god.what am I going to say!? I mean.I...I love him. I know I do but..stay here? Be his mate? I love it here.all our friends and traveling with them.but how will it be if I am Inuyasha's mate? Kagome's mind once again became a jumble of thoughts. 'Kagome you fool! You love him! This is what you've been waiting for! He finally said he love's you! Can't you see that you two should be together?' Nani? This isn't a voice I know!
Inuyasha sat silently as Kagome thought. He could see all the conflicting emotions in her eyes. She put her head on his chest and he knew that she was thinking about all he had said. He wanted to run to clear his own mind and get away from his fear of her rejecting him. No! I gotta stay and see this through! If I really want Kagome as my mate I gotta learn to be patient and let her make her choice! Inuyasha thought to himself. He began stroking Kagome's hair again and smiled as the contact calmed him. He inhaled her scent and loved the way it made him feel at peace. But he also knew the dangers of the forest so he kept alert and listened to the sound of the woods intently.
This went unnoticed by Kagome who was beginning to become frightened after she heard the other voice in her mind. Who are you? She asked in her mind. ' I can't tell you my name but please know I mean you no harm.' Then what do you want? Kagome asked closing her eyes and gripping Inuyasha's haori, never giving voice to her replies to the strange voice in her mind. 'Kagome, please don't be scared. I mean it! I am you're friend! You will meet me later in your journey for the shards of the Shikon no tama. I have three shards and I also wish to kill Naraku. But that isn't important at the moment. I only want to tell you that you and the hanyou share a special bond. One that was planned long ago by the gods. Look deep into your heart and make your choice. But no matter what happens know that you will always be the one who holds the hanyou's heart.' What about Kikyo? When he looks at me is he really seeing me or is he seeing her? I know he says it's me he cares for but I keep feeling a sense of doubt. Kagome replied. She opened her eyes and looked up at Inuyasha who was looking up at the stars. Suddenly all her doubts vanished. I love him. I want to be with him and no one else. Kagome said to the voice in her mind. 'Good but I must go for now. I will contact you this way again but I ask you not to speak of it to anyone. Tell the hanyou about your feelings for him. I bid you fair well.' Then the voice disappeared and Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, I've made my decision." She said reaching up, stroking the side of his face with her fingertips. Inuyasha looked down at her, eyes a bit wide and his throat feeling as though he hadn't had water in years.
He tried to ask her what she was going to do but he couldn't seem to speak. His voice caught in his throat and he simply nodded. Kagome took a deep breath then let out all her feelings. "I love you too, Inuyasha. I love being here with you and our friends. I want to stay with you no matter what. Even if it means I must stay here and not go home." She said and cupped the right side of his face in her left palm. Inuyasha took in her words then he reached up and taking her left hand in his he placed a light kiss on her palm. "I'm glad to know that," he said a smile crossing his face but it was quickly replaced by a frown as he continued, "but there is one thing you didn't answer."
Kagome sighed and looked into Inuyasha's eyes. She could see that he was afraid of rejection. This surprised her a bit but then again Inuyasha had surprised her so much in the last hour that it almost scared her. Inuyasha gazed back at Kagome and then he drew a breath prepared to ask her once more to be his mate. He never got a chance to say anything. Inuyasha blinked in surprise. Kagome had kissed him. She pulled back and smiled. "Kagome, you want to be my mate?" Inuyasha asked blinking owlishly. "Hai, but we do need to talk about some things." Kagome said as a smile crept over her face. Inuyasha let out a whoop of joy. Kagome laughed until Inuyasha pulled her closer and kissed her deeply.
