Chapter 7: Decision Revealed
 
Kagome was speechless. `He chose me over himself.' Tears rushed to her eyes. She flung herself into Inuyasha's arms, so happy that he was here with her because he wanted to. She looked up at him and noticed the soft expression of his eyes looking straight at her.
 
“Oh, Inuyasha. You worried me so much. I thought I would loose you.” The tears gushed out from her eyes. Unlike the tears she had been spilling the past few days, these tears were happy, loving tears. Inuyasha raised his hands up to her cheeks and wiped the tears from her face.
 
“There's no reason to cry any more,” he comforted her while bringing her closer to his body. “I'm here with you, forever. I love you, Kagome. I love you for accepting me for who I am.”
 
“I love you too, Inuyasha.” Kagome responded, slowly stopping the tears. “So, what exactly did you wish for?”
 
“I wished to stay with you and Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and even the old hag,” he added with a laugh. Kagome laughed along with him.
 
“But I also wished for one other thing.”
 
“What was it?” Kagome questioned him.
 
“I wished for the well between this time and your time to remain open. Now you and the rest of us will be able to visit each other whenever we want to.”
 
“It will also allow you to continue to go to this school-thing you keep fretting about,” Inuyasha added, knowing that it would put another lovely smile on Kagome's face.
 
That did make Kagome smile. Everything was turning out perfectly. She stood up, Inuyasha following.
 
“I can't wait to tell Miroku, Sango, and Shippo the good news,” Kagome said.
 
“Let's tell them together,” Inuyasha added, intertwining his fingers with Kagome's. This action made Kagome blush and Inuyasha smile.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
“I'm so happy for both of you, and for all of us as well,” Sango said after hearing the good news.
 
Shippo jumped up and down in jubilee. Inuyasha began to get irritated by Shippo's actions. With one big swoop, Inuyasha hit Shippo on the head. Everything was as it should be. Kagome couldn't bring herself to punish Inuyasha for his actions towards Shippo. She let out a sigh of relief instead.
 
That night, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Kaede, Kagome and Inuyasha all sat down to a well deserved feast. Lots of ninja food, as they would call Kagome's instant meals, was to be had. Laughs were the only thing that could be heard throughout the village. Smiles were passed from one person to the other. Nothing but happy conversing was being thrown about.
 
Kagome and Inuyasha passed a few glances towards each other. Apparently, no one noticed there looks of affection. Becoming bored with the talk, Inuyasha stood up.
 
“I'm going to go to sleep now,” he yawned. “Ya'll can catch me up with anything I miss tonight tomorrow.”
 
He headed off towards the forest. One backwards glance was made and it was directed at Kagome. Inuyasha gave one flick of the head towards the forest and then he left. Kagome knew exactly what he was trying to do. He was motioning her to come with him into the forest so they could be alone. Taking the hint, Kagome stretched out her arms, gave a fake yawn, and stood up.
 
“I think I'm going to copy Inuyasha. It's been such a long, tiring day that a full night's sleep sounds like a good idea. So long everyone! I'll see you in the morning!”She ran quickly away from the group in the direction Inuyasha took.
 
Sango knew exactly what was going on. Kagome and Inuyasha wanted to spend some time alone together. A smile spread across her face and she let out a giggle.
 
“What is it, Sango?” Miroku asked.
 
“Oh, nothing,” Sango lied.
 
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
 
“Inuyasha, where'd you go?” Kagome called out. She couldn't see anything, the moon wasn't bright enough to light up the forest. Kagome groped around, trying to figure out where she was. Before she knew it, her hands hit a tree. She looked up and realized where she was. The Tree of Ages stood directly in front of her, towering over her. She felt so small and fragile compared to the tree. `How can one tree have so much influence in a person's life?'
 
“Took you long enough,” Kagome heard a familiar masculine voice call out.
 
“I couldn't find you and I can't see anything! Unlike you, I don't have any special senses that allow me to see clearly in the dark.”
 
“Ha ha, real funny, Kagome.”
 
Inuyasha swooped down from the tree. Before Kagome could react, she felt arms wrap tightly around her waist. She didn't understand what Inuyasha was doing. The sensation of his arms around her waist caused her to feel like she was flying…FLYING! Her feet weren't touching the ground.
 
“What are you doing, Inuyasha?!”
 
Not long after she asked, she felt herself being lowered onto a tree branch. She looked down and figured out she was up in the Tree of Ages. `I wonder why Inuyasha brought me up here.'
 
“Inuya-“
 
Inuyasha sat with his back towards the tree and pulled Kagome closer to him. Kagome blushed when she figured out what was going on. She was in Inuyasha's lap, with his arms around her. Her eyes widened, her heart jumped.
 
“You don't know how long I've wanted to do this; to be here with you, under the stars.”
 
She looked up towards the sky. The stars were brighter and clearer the closer she got to them. The moon's ring outlined it's sphere, causing the moon to appear brighter. Inuyasha looked down into Kagome's eyes. What beautiful, bold brown eyes she had. With the help of the stars and the moon, Kagome's eyes sparkled like he had never seen before. He couldn't help himself, the time was right, everything was leading him to this moment. He bent his head down and placed his lips onto Kagome's lips. The action surprised Kagome to the point that she didn't know what to do or think. It didn't take her long to realize what was going on. She closed her eyes and leaned against Inuyasha's lips and body.
 
Inuyasha finally lifted his head and looked at Kagome, lust filling his eyes. His cheeks felt warm. Was he blushing? Kagome slowly opened her eyes, the same look filling her eyes as in Inuyasha's. Inuyasha wrapped his hands tighter around her. He was not going to let her go, he would not allow anything to get in the way between him and Kagome.
 
“Oh, Inuyasha.”
 
“Kagome.”
 
“I love you, Inuyasha. I love you just the way you are.”
 
“I love you too, Kagome. Nothing will ever change that.”
 
That night, Kagome fell asleep in Inuyasha's arms again. However, this time was different than the last time. She knew that this could not be the last time they would be together. He was hers, and would be hers forever. No wish would get in there way tonight, or any night to come.
 
It's finished now! I can't believe that it's finished.
