For Inuyasha

Kagome's thoughts as the group walks along, traveling to their next destination on their journey to destroy Naraku and comlete the Shikon No Tama.

' I can see you walking ahead of me, your back straight, your head held high. I wonder what you're thinking...

It has been a while since we had a big fight, since I had to slam you to the ground with a 'sit'. This peace is nice... but unfamiliar. I don't like fighting with you...making up is nice.

You always look so ashamed of yourself, you know its your fault but you won't admit it.

I sit beside you and watch you pout, one cute ear twitching, looking anywhere but at me.

I lean my head on your shoulder and everything is right between us again. For a little while...

Its different when you go to see her, then everything between us is so uncomfortable, its unbearable. When I see you after, you deserve your guilt. You head hung low, your face turned away, I know this shows that you care for me but why, then, do you go to her? If you know how much it hurts me, why do it? I know the answer. I know you still love her. When the time comes, will you go to her?

I want you to stay with me. You don't have to change for me. I love you Inuyasha.'

Kagome smiled and walked a little faster to catch up to Inuyasha. She put her thin arm around his waist and smiled up at him. Inuyasha smiled back, a little puzzled.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome began. Before she could get all the words out though, Inuyasha leaned down and covered her lips with his. Kagome gasped slightly then returned his kiss. When they broke away, they smiled at each other and continued walking, hand in hand.
