Making amends

 

She knew she was at a loss when she reached the streets of Tokyo. Kagome knew she was coming to a difficult path as she glanced at every street sign, every sign. Period.

 

Yes, she believed that she was in a situation, a bad one, when she realized she didn't know where Inuyasha lived. Seeing as Tokyo was an enormous city made Kagome doubt she would ever find him.

 

Scanning the airline, she smiled when her eyes came in lock with a washroom, a perfect room for her to change from her old, ratty wedding gown that was grabbing so much attention with, and into a nice informal outfit.

 

Locking the door behind her, she ripped off the white dress, not wanting it anymore, and pulled on a t-shirt and jean skirt. Kagome thought other wise, and quickly changed into a pear of jeans, seeing, as Japan could be a bit colder then her homeland.

 

Zipping up her small bag that she was thankful her mother packed, she left the bathroom and out the airport. Pulling out her wallet, she waved for a taxi and left to the city.

 

Paying the man, he drove off leaving her stranded on a street she had no clue what the name was.

 

Kagome sighed, thinking of a way to start looking. The only idea that came to mind was walking. Therefore, she began her trip around Tokyo on foot.

 

~*~

 

“Hello, would you know where an Inuyasha Takahashi lives?” Kagome asked for the umpteenth time that afternoon.

 

“No, sorry Madame.” The store clerk sighed as if he had always been asked that very question and was becoming fatigued because of it.

 

Kagome now realized how hard it was to find someone. Looking for roughly five hours now, exhausted and hungry from not eating she decided to stop for something to eat.

 

Ordering a small sandwich and a coffee, she thought of new ways in finding Inuyasha. She just hoped it wouldn't take so long.

 

Whispering a small thank you to her waiter when the food came, she gobbled it down, finally noticing how hungry she was.

 

Paying her bill, she left as soon as she came and wandered the streets again. A few moments passed when Kagome felt a slight dampness in the air. Ignoring it, she paused to cross the street and made her way to the other side of the road.

 

Scanning the streets in hope that Inuyasha was walking down them, her doubts outweighed her optimism as she stopped and dropped her head in defeat. She couldn't do this, it was impossible. Kagome had finally given up and sighed as tears started to sting her eyes.

 

Looking up, she saw a small park. Maybe a nice break to cool her nerves would help her out. She ran over and sighed in relief, as a park bench was empty. Sitting herself down, she felt a drop of water on her face. Looking up, she finally noticed the grey clouds above her head. Rain started pouring down and she felt like god was sympathizing with her and crying with her as her own tears joined the rain, hidden beneath the water drops that soaked her face.

 

The rain came down hard, almost burning her skin as she folded her arms in her lap and pulled her jacket on and the hood covered her already wet hair from the blowing wind. If this day could get any worse, it wasn't going to happen.

 

Kagome gasped when a lightening bolt hit on a mountain across the city.

 

It was getting worse, as the sound of thunder make her shiver in fear. Kagome had always hated the rain, ever since childhood.

 

The sun was soon to be gone. Kagome looked up and noticed she was wrong, the sun was already gone and time for everyone to sleep. Unfortunately, she had no place to stay, no money left over for a hotel room.

 

Kagome was about to give up hope of surviving this trip when a voice jolted her from her depressing thoughts.

 

“Are you okay?” Kagome looked up and saw a young man staring back at her, his eyes filled with worry for her.

 

“No I'm not okay, I'm lost, hungry, and broke.” Kagome huffed. Noticing her rude tone she sighed, “Sorry, I'm just not having a good day.”

 

The man sat down beside her and noticed the tears that she tried to hide, “Why were you crying?”

 

“Well, I'm originally from America,” Kagome pulled her jacket sleeves further down her arms, “I came to Tokyo to find someone.”

 

“This someone, are they important to you that you come all the way across the world for?” The man asked.

 

Kagome stared at the man, it wasn't exactly a usual question to ask someone, but she answered it, “Yeah, he's important, but I can't for the life of me, locate him.”

 

“So you came to Tokyo, not knowing where to go? That's not very smart.” The man chuckled.

 

“Well thanks, but if you're going to insult me, then I'd rather sit in the rain…alone.” Kagome growled.

 

“I'm sorry, who is this person you are looking for?” He asked.

 

“His name is Inuyasha Takahashi.” Kagome said in a bored tone.

 

“I think kami is smiling upon you today.” The man smiled.

 

“Yeah, he's smiling alright…” Kagome sighed, “Or rather, he's laughing at me.”

 

“No, he's smiling for sure.”

 

“Oh, and what makes you so positive Mr.?” Kagome demanded.

 

“Because, I know where this fellow, Inuyasha, lives.”

 

Kagome could've died at that moment, “Well why didn't you say something?”

 

“You didn't ask, now come, we better get you inside before you catch a cold.” The man stood and waved for her to follow him. She did, her excitement reaching its limits as she followed him down the path through the park.

 

~*~

 

“This is it.” Kagome gasped.

 

“It's…big.”

 

“Yeah, he likes living large.” The man smiled.

 

“That's the understatement of the year.” Kagome giggled, “I can't thank you enough.”

 

“Oh you probably can.”

 

“What can I do to repay you?” Kagome smiled.

 

“Well, I have one thing in mind.” The man's smile turned into an evil glare almost.

 

“And what is that?” Kagome asked, completely oblivious to the change in the young man's persona.

 

“You can kiss me.”

 

“Excuse me?” Kagome almost screamed, “You pervert, how can you ask that!”

 

“I only want what you said you'd offer.” The man smiled and waved his hands in defense.

 

“I didn't offer to kiss you!” Kagome shrieked, gaining attention from the neighborhood.

 

Kagome gasped when she heard the door open to the house before her open. To her surprise, a young woman, almost her age, walked out holding a child in her arms, “Miroku what the hell have you done this time?”

 

“I didn't do anything my lovely Sango.” The man, Miroku, laughed carelessly as his `wife' from what Kagome could tell, walked up to him and was dead on hurting him when she saw Kagome standing there.

 

“Who is this?” She demanded.

 

“Uhh, I'm Kagome.” She looked to the man, Miroku, “You live here? I thought you were taking me to where Inuyasha lives?”

 

Sango gasped, then eyed Miroku who nodded, “This is where Inuyasha lives.” Miroku smiled.

 

“You mean…you live with him?” Kagome gasped.

 

“Yes, now come in and outside of the rain before we all catch a cold.” Sango growled, holding her sleeping daughter.

 

Once inside, Kagome finally realized how cold she was when she decided to keep her jacket on instead of feeling the cold breeze on her arms.

 

“So you're her, huh.” Sango smiled.

 

“I'm who?” Kagome asked.

 

“You're the girl Inuyasha fell for.” Kagome blushed, “Yup, you're the one he told is about.”

 

“What'd he say?” Kagome asked, her curiosity growing.

 

“I think he should tell you,” Miroku smiled, taking his daughter from his wife, “He's in his room.”

 

Kagome's breath hitched as she followed where Miroku pointed his room to be. Taking slow steps, she took a deep breath before opening the hanyou's bedroom door. Instead of seeing the hanyou, she was met with a dirty room, covered with dirty clothes.

 

`So he doesn't do his own clothes here as well…' Kagome smiled at the memory of doing his clothes back in America.

 

She finally gasped when she heard movement from the bed, glancing over she found a large pile of blanket moving. She hadn't been able to see him with all the blankets on him; he was sleeping.

 

Kagome smiled at the peaceful face the hanyou had on. However, it turned into a frown when she heard him mumble her name and whimper. As if it were reflex, she pulled her hand and gently molded it to Inuyasha's face, effectively calming him and ceasing his whines and calls of pain and sadness.

 

What she hadn't noticed was the hanyou was no longer sleeping.

 

“I'm so sorry.” Kagome whispered, tears came to her eyes, “I shouldn't have made you leave…you only came to apologize and ask for your own happiness when all I did was push you away in my own selfishness. I didn't want you...I needed you.”

 

She paused when she noticed his ears flicking about. Then a smile touched her lips, he was listening to her. Kagome caught on the hanyou's game and began to play her own as she brought her hand up to his ear and flicked it in between her fingers.

 

“…Then I realized when you left that I felt sadness come over me, the same feeling I had when you left the first time.” Kagome smirked; time to play the hanyou, “It was on my wedding day that I felt my emotions take a turn. When I was standing at the altar, wedding dress and all, I realized that I…never loved you.”

 

She paused, watching the hanyou ears falter then pick up with listening to her new onslaught.

 

“Looking into Kouga's eyes, thinking about how life would be if I said `I do.” Kagome sighed in a fake dreamy voice, “I pictured myself with a bunch of kids, living in a big house and being loved and loving my new husband--”

 

“That's enough, I know you know I'm awake.” Inuyasha growled and sat up, “You came all this way to tell me--”

 

He was cut off when he felt her dived onto him and effectively bringing them onto the floor with a soft thud.

 

“What the hell was that for?” Inuyasha winced.

 

“Inuyasha Takahashi…” Kagome started, “I love you.”

 

The she plunged her mouth onto his, delving into his mouth, hungrily eating at him as he took his sweet time focusing that she was kissing him. Inuyasha finally reacted, kissing her back as the passion grew.

 

“What are you doing here?” Inuyasha asked; have in a daze as they pulled away.

 

“I came to apologize.”

 

“For what, you're married.” Kagome growled and lifted her left hand up and in the hanyou's face.

 

“Do you see this?” Kagome interrupted.

 

“What the hell is this got to do with anything?”

 

“I see no wedding ring here bub.” Kagome smirked at the gasp Inuyasha let out, “I came here to tell you something, something that you've already told me.”

 

Inuyasha waited patiently, his breath hitched when Kagome smiled. His heart beat quickened as he realized the position they still acquired, her body sprawled across his on the floor.

 

“I wanted to tell you that I love you.” Kagome whispered, kissing Inuyasha's nose gently, “I always have and always will love you and I want to be here with you, wake up with you and say good night to you each day of my life.”

 

Inuyasha was speechless, what bought this on? He thought as he watched tears slide down her face. He pulled his hand out from the blanket it had successfully tangled in and rubbed the tears away, “I love you too, Kagome.”

 

Kagome didn't wait for more as she kissed him, Inuyasha didn't waste anytime reacting as he grabbed Kagome's head and pulled her closer, successfully pulling her closer.

 

“Excuse me, but supper's ready.” Miroku interrupted and smiled when Inuyasha threw a pillow at the door.

 

“So let me get this straight,” Inuyasha started once Miroku was gone, “You came all the way to Tokyo to find me and tell me this?”

 

“Yeah.” Kagome smiled.

 

“That was the stupidest thing you could've done, you don't know where I live, and it's raining, meaning you could've caught a cold or something serious.” Inuyasha complained as he rolled over and stood up followed by Kagome.

 

“What, you mean you coming to America wasn't stupid either?” Kagome placed her hands on her hips in frustration, “Maybe I shouldn't have come at all then, would that have made you happy?”

 

She glared at the hanyou, “…No.” He whispered.

 

Kagome watched as the hanyou lowered his head, she wouldn't have thought anything of it but she stifled a gasp when she saw Inuyasha choke on a sob. Kagome ran over, pulling him into a tight hug, “I'm sorry, I…I was stupid.”

 

“No you weren't.” Kagome pulled back and saw Inuyasha smile.

 

“What?”

 

“This was the stupidest thing you came up with…” Inuyasha smiled, “But I'm the happiest man alive to have you standing in my arms now.”

 

Kagome started crying as well, “I love you, I'm glad I came here.”

 

Inuyasha smiled and pulled her in for another kiss.

 

 

 

The end. Expect an epilogue tomorrow sometime…I hope. Another added point, I haven't edited this chapter yet, so if there's any problems ignore them, I was just too excited that I had to post this as fast as I got this done. I hope you like it, even with the odd spelling mistake.
