How he changed my life

(MAJOR chapter edit!)

Chapter 1.

Disclamer: I don't own Inuyasha

Of the many battles that Inuyasha and Kagome have fought this one would turn the hands of fate for the two, just as things were beginning to look critical for the group.

"DIE INUYASHA!" bellowed Naraku

Several of his deadly tentacles flew at Inuyasha, covered in his deadly miasma,

"INUYASHA! Look out!"

Kagome cried, Inuyasha had just barely missed being hit due to his amazing speed Kagome reached for her sacred arrows.

'Please don't miss…..'

Naraku watched her and cackled.

"HAH! foolish wench you and you beloved half-breed shall be in for quite a surprise if he foolishly decides to strike me from behind!"

'what ever this means it can't be good!'

After many battles with Naraku she had wisely learned to take a few of his threats seriously this time she especially had a bad feeling.

"Inuyasha wait!"

But before he could be stopped he already drew his sword and had it held above his head.

"WIND SCAR!"

But it was too late Inuyasha had already struck him from behind Naraku then stuck his hand out from his barrier and threw some very unusual and vile smelling liquid, which also penetrated the wind scar by the liquid just touching it.

"BLEEEHHHH!"

"Hey! What you're trying to poison me now you bastard? Drownin me ain't gonna work!"

Naraku smirked at the drenched hanyo he declared his work done, as his barrier formed back around him as he began to disappear into the sky.

"Come back here and face me!"

Inuyasha shouted towards the sky as Naraku and his Incarnations fled.

"You know I'm going to find you and tear that body of yours to shreds!"

He didn't get an answer right away.

"NARAKU!"

Naraku almost fully vanished turned to him.

"You'll be facing a different kind of worry soon, I don't think you'll be wanting to battle any type of demon any time soon."

"WHAT THE HELL'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO STOP ME FROM KILLING YOU?"

"Heh! Heh, you shall see Inuyasha……just how helpless, weak and pathetic you truly are."

And with that Naraku evaporated into thin air.

"Damn it! He got away!"

Inuyasha gripped his sword and examined his sticky hands and growled while stabbing the ground with his sword. Kagome was very concerned and immediately rushed to his side ready to aid his wounds.

She usually found many stab wounds in which Inuyasha referred to as 'scratches' so she insisted that Inuyasha join her for awhile in the modern era.

"Inuyasha please-"

Kagome got ready with her 'plead and beg' voice. But very much to her surprise a response was quickly given.

"Keh! Fine!"

Inuyasha folded his arms into his haori sleeves and began to walk away……without her.

"HMPH!"

'He's willing to come home with me…..but also willing to leave me behind!'

Sensing that Kagome wasn't right behind him;

"Come on! Haven't got all day! Hurry it up!"

"Sango, Miroku?"

"Hi Kagome"

"Thank God your alright!"

Sango ran to hug Kagome.

"Same hear" responded Miroku.

"Hey guys we're going to be heading back to my era and we'll be probably gone for a week or two.

Sango and Miroku agreed to it after they had a discussion over what had just happened to Inuyasha, who sat in the corner appearing very grouchy at the choice of topic for discussion.

"I still don't see why you're all worked up over Naraku's threat he said much worse and after all, it isn't as if we haven't seen what ever he did to me once before!"

"Inuyasha can we please just go?"

"Keh!"

Kagome began to haul her gargantuan sized bag onto her back.

"Inuyasha I can manage on my on own!" Kagome snapped

Kagome wondered why she was so suddenly resistant towards Inuyasha's help, any other time she would've excepted without a second thought.

"Alright! Alright! Fine!"

A little while later while they were walking towards the well;

"What are you so agitated about anyway?"

"Nothing let's just hurry up and go!"

Inuyasha then went on a 'happier note'.

"Besides there's tons of Ramen at your house and I'm starving!"

'Then there's your comfy bed'

Inuyasha snickered to himself.

As they jumped into the well little did they suspect that Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru was watching them from a distance.

He had been watching them for quite sometime and saw the liquid which was poured over Inuyasha, and predicted what might be coming because he knew he knew what it was but could not recall

When no one was looking he leaped into the bone eaters well. Following after Kagome and Inuyasha he decided he would keep his distance as he knew how his brother was whenever he saw him around or so much as smelled his scent.

"Ohhh! So nice to be home! I'm soooooooo tired…..but wait I need to study for another exam!"

Hearing this Inuyasha frowned.

"Kagome, did you trick me into coming hear because of your 'tests' again?"

"No! you're wounded right now and then we've been battling Yokai now stop 2 MONTHS STREIGHT NOW!"

"Keh! If you'd allow it we wouldn't sleep till we killed Naraku!"

Kagome didn't believe him for a second.

"Even you'd eventually wear yourself out doing that!"

Kagome was preparing the Ramen while the argument continued but luckily she had learned excellent multi-tasking skills from spending time in the feudal era.

"………..AND IT DOSEN'T MATTER IF YOUR FULL YOKAI OR HALF!"

Inuyasha immediately sulked in his seat, this was always his number one excuse to say that he was stronger and not weak like humans were.

Inuyasha jumped out of his seat in the middle of their 'conversation'.

"Finally it's ready!"

Inuyasha immediately smelled the Ramen the moment it was ready and since he had an excellent sense of smell the Ramen smelled 20 times more delicious then it would to a human nose.

"There, you're just happy now aren't you?"

Inuyasha wasn't really listening due to how 'busy' he was gulping down his favorite cup of Ramen. Kagome didn't feel like letting him 'forget' this time.

"Uhh aren't you forgetting something?"

"Oh you're right I'm eating with my hands!"

Inuyasha said carelessly and continued to gorge on the food.

"INUYASHA!"

Inuyasha turned to her looking annoyed.

"Hey what's your problem now?"

Kagome was angered more by his tone.

"A simple thank you for once would be nice!"

Inuyasha gave her a stare that read like as if he had never heard of thanking someone for their kindness.

"For what?"

Kagome had it, she took a deep breath in and let it all out.

"OSUWARI!"

"AHHHHHHHH!"

And there went Inuyasha plunging towards the ground but he had his come back prepared as if he had rehearsed it.

"HEY WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"

Kagome's voice now sounded very stressed.

"YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A JERK AS ALWAYS!"

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS! YOU'RE ALWAYS BITTING MY HEAD OFF ABOUT SOMETHING! YET YOU NEVER SEEM TO WANT TO BE SPECIFIC! SO WHY NOT JUST BE CLEAR WITH ME FOR ONCE AND TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG?"

Kagome just stood there and stared at Inuyasha for 2 seconds looking him straight in the eye and he staring into hers it was one moment of affection until suddenly Inuyasha smelled and sensed Kagome's tears coming and he knew they were really going to be pouring this time.

"I-Inuyasha……..'sob'…….."

Just as he had thought Kagome immediately ran towards him and slammed into his arms which Inuyasha didn't feel but a bit of force hit his chest due to his strength.

"Oh Inuyasha I was just so afraid that Naraku finally had you and then when he threatened you, I know he's done worse then leave us off with a warning of things to come but I'm still really worried about you!"

Inuyasha stood still listening as Kagome continued.

"This time it seems he was serious!"

Inuyasha just stood there and held Kagome in his arms gently messaging her back and her neck.

To Kagome being in Inuyasha's arms was a place of reassurance to her because even at her most tense moments leaning against his cozily firm chest and hearing the steady beat of his heart was always an easy charm to lead her into a peaceful dreamless sleep, and make her drop her worries and troubles.

"Kagome……..I promise I won't let him get to me or let him kill me. But what's most important to me is that he never does any harm to you!"

Kagome's eyes began to widen she could not believe what her ears were telling her, nor the pleasant sensation her body gave her.

"I will always protect you! I will make sure Naraku's tainted hands never touch you…….or even get close!"

Kagome was beginning to feel a little faint, but it was a good feeling.

"You won't EVER suffer as Kikyo did I shall always love you and protect you as if you were my own!"

His words now bound Kagome to a trance, everything she had dreamed of.

"Inuyasha…….y-you truly mean that?"

"Yes Kagome……..Kikyo is special but……..so are you!"

"Oh! Inuyasha!"

With that she immediately locked her arms around Inuyasha's neck and pulled him in for a deep and passionate kiss in which he returned gratefully, he finally got that off his chest and her kissing him like this was prove alone that she shared the deep love in which he so longed for from Kagome. He never thought she felt the exact same way toward him.

When they pulled apart none realized how sleepy both of them were.

"Kagome I'm tired and you look worn out too, let's go take a nap."

Inuyasha said softly, while wrapping his arm back around her, she loved the way it felt to have his arm wrapped around her shoulders. And so with a simple nod she leaned against him and he scooped her up into his arms and carried her like a baby up the stairs.

As he laid her on the bed he carefully removed her socks and shoes and moved her in a comforting position and spot on the bed.

Kagome stirred slightly as he did this but didn't open her eyes or shift out of her spot. Inuyasha sat on the side of the bed watching Kagome sleep peacefully.

'My Kagome……laying there so peaceful!'

As Inuyasha looked at her more he began to wonder how he did not see the signs earlier that she had loved him as well but in a way no other not even Kikyo had loved him this much only one other person who's love was comparable to Kagome's and that was his own mother.

Then he wondered why he had not told her how he felt.

Because he was afraid the only thing he was really afraid of were of his own emotions and Kagome's feeling he didn't know how his life would be if it had not been for that fateful day Kagome showed up in his life.

He looked at Kagome's features and sighed. Her hair was spread out along the bed like a luminous sea of black beauty

Even though he could not see her eyes right now when he looked into them he saw unspoiled beauty he saw her soul it's self and she was as beautiful inside as she was out and he was especially attracted to the way her skin seemed to gleam in the morning and evening sun, and it's mystifying glow at night.

Her laughter filled his heart, she gave his heart the feeling that made him feel like he was on air with joy mixed in when they had those rare moments where they'd sit down and enjoy each other's company without Inuyasha putting on his little 'act' or simply when they would sit down and talk with Sango Miroku and Shippo.

No one could compare to her beauty but what caught his eyes at first was the many times she had shed tears for him, no one else but his mother had done that before Kagome.

Inuyasha knew he loved Kagome with all his heart, and if anyone hurt in anyway they would have a very angry hanyo to deal with right on the spot. Inuyasha made himself comfortable next to Kagome as he held her close to his chest and massaged her sore back.

Before he fell asleep he kissed her gently on the head and cheek and whispered

"I love you Kagome!"

Kagome had surprisingly heard this and opened her eyes in surprise to see Inuyasha sucking away at his thumb like a little baby while holding her like she would evaporate into thin air if he let go, she thought it was absolutely adorable so she leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on his cheek and said;

"I love you too Inuyasha! So much!"

Then she made herself comfortable once again against his chest and fell asleep.

Sesshomaru never took his eyes off them for a second

"Hmm things seem to be going quite odd yet normal between those two but something still doesn't seem right."

'What is that that Inuyasha was drenched in I know I've seen it before but why the hell can't I remember right now!"

"I hope Rin will be alright with Jaken."

'That girl has no idea what's coming to her!'
