Rumiko Takahashi still owns them all… grr…
Inuyasha was still lying on her bed when Kagome came to. What happened? She thought with a groan. She looked over at him and couldn’t fight her smile; he was sound asleep still holding her pillow tight against his chest. It was the first time in past couple days he looked content. She uncurled herself from the window seal and sat beside the bed. “Kagome…” He muttered, pulling the pillow tighter. She reached out and tried to brush his bangs away from his face. The hair didn’t move, in fact she couldn’t get close enough to even really try because of his youkai aura. He, however, purred quietly and nuzzled closer to her hand. She winced as his aura shocked her.
Inuyasha sat up and panted. He felt her; he felt her hand on his face. Tears filled his eyes as he looked around the empty room. He laid his hand against his cheek where her fingers had brushed gently. “Kagome.” He whimpered hugging her pillow tight.
Kagome blinked at him. “Did he feel that? How could he feel that? I didn’t actually touch him.” She muttered, growing accustomed to talking to herself. She reached out to touch his ear and was pushed back once more but he didn’t react. She sighed, “I guess it was just wishful thinking.”
Inuyasha sniffled, “Why Kagome? Why didn’t you open up and tell me how upset you were?” He got off the bed and touched the extremely light stain of blood on her carpet. He shuddered as he thought of Kagome writing her goodbye note just a few inches from him, putting the barrel of the gun in her mouth and pulling the trigger. “Did you think about me?” He couldn’t stop the selfish question from falling from his lips. “Wench, did you think about how I was supposed to live without you?”
Kagome felt her cheeks heat. Not really… Well maybe, I don’t remember what I thought. If I try it hurts. He continued as if the words had been pushing to free themselves and he couldn’t stop the flow now, all the while his hands brushed the light stain softly.
“I’m sorry I made you do this Kagome. If I hadn’t fought you about coming home, if I’d just let you…” He bit his lip and sniffled several times before continuing. “I just did it because I miss you so damn bad when you leave!” Tears ran down his cheeks and he coughed to cover a sob. “Why didn’t I tell you this before? If I had maybe… You’d still be with me, by my side.”
She tried to touch his shoulder and was rejected by his aura. She screamed in frustration as tears of misery rained from her. “Why can’t I touch him!? I can’t comfort the man I love!”
Inuyasha caught the scent of Kagome’s pain and turned. “Kagome?” … Nothing… why had he expected anything different? He sighed and pulled the locket from under his robe. “Kagome I wish more than anything I could tell you how I feel.” He opened the locket and smiled at her picture. He kissed her picture softly before tucking it back into his robe.
Her eyes grew wide at the small act. Inuyasha, say it please say it. She thought as she watched the hanyou stand and lay her pillow back on her bed. He walked to the door and she willed him with her entire heart to say the three words she needed. He opened the door and looked over his shoulder at the stain most human eyes couldn’t see, “I love you Kagome.”
