He smiled softly, looking through the seeing glass as the two laughed and teased each other on Kagome's bed. He sighed and gently blew the clouds, making them cover the scene as he sat back on another cloud, looking into the large white room with a small smile on his lips still.

 

He knew what he was doing was breaking the rules.

 

The dead and the living were separated with reason. They just weren't supposed to be together, like oil and water. There was always that thin line that kept them separate. Yet here he was, standing before the seeing glass, in the heavens, watching down and letting the younger do whatever he wanted, breaking the rules, and creating new ones.

 

She wasn't supposed to see him. Yet she did.

 

She wasn't supposed to feel him. Yet she did.

 

She wasn't supposed to hear him. Yet she did.

 

She wasn't supposed to love a man of the dead.

 

He thought back to the seeing glass, remembering the smiles and laughter they had shared.

 

Yet she did.

“…Thanks again, Kagome.” InuYasha awkwardly scratched the back on his head as he sat up, looking away from her face, his own heating up as he thanked her. He seemed to be doing that a lot though, thanking her. She just made his life seem a little less troubling.

 

“Don't worry about it, InuYasha. It's great that you found them again.” A week had passed and though Kagome was a little disappointed that she hadn't seen much of InuYasha, she understood. He was reunited with the family he had lost, and it wasn't like he completely stopped seeing her.

 

He would still visit her every few nights, sometimes just as she was falling sleep, in which he would hold her, other's just when she got home and would spend the rest of the evening with her.

 

She felt a little lonely though. Sango and Miroku had been going out, just the two of them, and InuYasha was busy with his family, so there were nights when she'd be by herself.

 

She knew she was being childish, but she felt left out of everyone's lives now.

 

“Kaggie Higurashi!” A voice sounded, the door opened wide and Kagome froze, glancing from Sango to the spot beside her while InuYasha chuckled. She relaxed her tensed muscles, realizing, again, that only she could see him.

 

“Yeah, what's up?” Kagome smiled. Sango pulled the door back to show Miroku who was waving at her brightly. She glanced to InuYasha, who had a sad smile on his lips.

 

“So, we were wondering if you wanted to go out with us. We're just gonna go to the mall.” Sango smiled brightly at the young girl who sat on the bed. She missed her best friend. Kagome had graciously hung out with them less to give them some time as a couple, but both Miroku and she had agreed that they missed the spunky girl.

 

“Sure.” Kagome tried to keep the excitement down but Miroku had chuckled, shaking his head as he pointed down the hall.

 

“We'll wait for you to get ready. That doesn't mean to take your sweet time though.” He gave her a warning with a smile before both he and Sango closed the door and left her to her own devices. Kagome smiled and stood up, starting to pull out clothing before she turned to InuYasha who was about to leave.

 

“Whoa, where do you think you're going?” Kagome asked as she turned to face him. He raised an eyebrow and pointed out the window.

 

“Out?” She gave him a roll of her blue eyes.

 

“Stupid. Come with us.” She smiled at his shocked look.

 

“I'm dead, Kagome.” He said slowly, as if he wasn't sure if she remembered. She gave a soft laugh and shook her head.

 

“Think of it as…hanging with Miroku, you know…to make up for the time you guys lost…” She gave a nervous glance into his eyes, not sure if what she had said had struck a nerve. He looked at her in surprise before giving her a soft smile; nodding his head he turned his back as Kagome started changing.

 

She was a wonder. She had given him so many new chances. A chance to be with the family he had lost, a chance to make up the broken promise he had given to Miroku. She gave him a new look on so many things. In such a short time, she had made him feel worth it.

 

How could he ever thank her?

 

“Okay, let's go!” Kagome smiled, waiting for him to turn around. He smiled back at her, taking her outstretched hand and holding it firmly as she walked outside. Miroku and Sango were on the couch, playing a video game viciously. Kagome's jaw dropped and she glared at them.

 

“Don't screw up my kill to death ratio! I swear to god if my score goes lower then it was the other day I will murder you two!” She screamed as she watched Miroku and Sango play, split screen. Sango rolled her eyes, waving her off as she started shooting wildly.

 

“Oh God, my perfect score…” Kagome pouted. InuYasha laughed and leaned in, pressing a kiss to her temple. She blushed and looked to Miroku and Sango, who hadn't noticed.

 

“Haha! Yes! Take that! I own!” Miroku did a fist pump into the air, smiling in victory as Sango glared, turning everything off and muttering about how he was a cheater and totally `screen peeked'.

 

“Sorry that you suck.” He gave her a teasing smile as they started leaving the apartment. The trio started chattering away and InuYasha couldn't help but feel slightly awkward as Miroku pulled Kagome into a headlock and Sango burst out laughing when Kagome tried to take a bite out of his arm.

 

He had never really had friends like that. He was too busy trying to climb to the top of the industry ladder he had forgotten to live a life for himself. He smiled nostalgically as he watched them interact, like a family.

 

And then he briefly wondered if he was really meant to be here, with Kagome, distracting her from her own life, her own family and friends. His frown disappeared, though, when Kagome reached back, still in the head lock with Miroku, and blindly searched for his hand.

 

He raised an eyebrow, slipping his hand into hers and she gave it a soft squeeze, turning her head slightly from Miroku's grasp with a wink at him.

 

Maybe, just maybe,

 

He really did belong here.

 

With her.

“So…” Kagome fidgeted with her fingers a bit as they all sat in the food court, wolfing down Miroku's fries. Three pairs of eyes glanced up from what they were doing to look at her.

 

“Yeah?” They all asked at the same time. She would have laughed at the hilarity that InuYasha was just the same as them, had she not been preoccupied with remembering she wasn't supposed to acknowledge him while in the presence of her other friends.

 

“You know that game you wanted to go to, like, three months ago?” She saw InuYasha tense up a bit, his jaw becoming prominent as he looked at her in confusion. Miroku nodded his head.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Who were you going with again?” She casually took a sip of his drink. Miroku gave a soft, almost broken, smile as he sat back a bit.

 

“InuYasha Takahashi.” Sango raised an eyebrow, turning to Kagome. She had stopped mentioning the guy only a few weeks prior, yet here she was, sneaking him into the conversation. Kagome shrugged her shoulders innocently as she turned to face Miroku.

 

“You know…I know it sounds stupid but I kind of admired the guy.” Miroku started, he had forgotten about the dance Kagome had apparently shared with him, something Kagome thanked.

 

“Admired him?” Sango asked as she sat back too.

 

“He was at the top of his game, you know? He was making a name for himself. I remember seeing him every once and a while when I went to visit dad at work, and he'd always give a little smile and wave at me. He was the person I strived to be and when he said hi to me, it was like getting acknowledged by a celebrity…” He chuckled and shook his head.

 

InuYasha looked at him, surprised before smiling at him. He had remembered their many meetings and he had always wanted to get to know him better too, him being the only guy that came around that was around his age.

 

“I was so stoked when he came to me and started a conversation. I just…there was something about him that made me want to be friends. He looked like he needed one. Even though he was a hot shot, he always seemed so empty.” Miroku frowned, his royal blue eyes falling to the ground as he remembered the distant look in InuYasha's eyes.

 

“And then one day, he came up to me and asked if I wanted to go to the game with him.” Miroku smiled again.

 

“Was that why you were so excited?” Sango asked, a little happy that Miroku had found someone other then herself and Kagome, but disappointed when she realized InuYasha was gone.

 

“Yeah…but he died a few days before. I wasn't even allowed to attend the funeral, only a bunch of business men were.” He frowned. He had sent flowers though.

 

InuYasha gave him a broken expression. He remembered seeing his funeral, remembered people he had hardly cared for there, sitting stoically at his death bed. He had seen flowers and such, and he remembered the small bundle of white roses that Miroku had sent.

 

He reached a hand out, patting Miroku on the shoulder and somehow Miroku had started relaxing.

 

“He was excited to.” Kagome spoke up, they shot her a questioning look and she smiled awkwardly.

 

“I mean, I'm sure he was…” She looked to InuYasha who chuckled and shook his head. She really needed to work on the whole, `ghost don't exist' thing.

 

“I hope so.” Miroku smiled a bit, shaking his head to get rid of the heavy feeling that fell on him. Sango smiled and placed her hand on his, patting it gently. Kagome looked up at InuYasha, a small smile, he smiled back, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and pulling her close.

 

“Thanks for the second chance.” He whispered and relaxed as they started talking again.

InuYasha lay on Kagome's bed, staring up at the ceiling with a soft smile on his face. He had started taking to joining Kagome very now and then when she went out with Sango and Miroku. Somehow he felt at home with them, enjoying the ease with the group and laughing when Kagome slipped up about his presence, which she blamed on lack of sleep.

 

Apparently, she never slept.

 

He smiled as he sighed, thinking back on the last few weeks together. School was starting up and she had gone to the university to complain about the loans, he had offered to go with, to help her, but she insisted that she should do this alone, and that he still had to visit his parents.

 

He smiled at that. He finally had a place in the world, albeit a strange and reality breaking one. He heard Kagome's voice greeting Sango and sat up, waiting for her to finish talking to her roommate before entering. She smiled brightly and shut the door, rushing to tackle InuYasha on the bed.

 

“Guess what!” She smiled as she settled her body above his, his hands resting on her hips. She smiled brightly down at him, her blue eyes light and gazing into his deep gold ones, ones she had grown to love.

 

“What?”

 

“I got my loan!” She smiled brightly, thoroughly impressed with herself. It had been nerve wracking to go in by herself and talk to the administrator but she had done it. She had spoken to them politely and made her point clear and they had been a great help with fixing the mistake.

 

“That's awesome. Good job.” He smiled when she gave a soft squeal of pride and lean down, hugging him tightly to herself. He smiled back, wrapping his arms around her small body and bringing her close, enjoying the wave of warmth wash over his cool skin.

 

They lay that way for a while, content. Lately he had started to be around her more often, holding her hand, touching her arm, wrapping her in a hug. He was a little embarrassed by his intimate actions, but whenever she responded with a smile he found that it was worth it.

 

“Oh! I have something for you!” Kagome smiled and got up, instantly missing the feeling of him wrapped around her as she moved to her vanity desk, opening the second drawer and digging around a bit as InuYasha sat up.

 

She gave a triumphant sound as she pulled something out and hid it behind her back when she turned to face him. He raised an eyebrow as she neared, the smile on her face speaking of trouble. She laughed and sat before him, taking his hand in one hand.

 

“Look away!” She commanded. He rolled his eyes at her antics but did so, enjoying the fact that he was able to act like a child around her, something he hadn't been able to do when he was alive. With a pout he looked up towards the ceiling, closing his eyes. He felt something wrap around his wrist and finally Kagome allowed him to open them.

 

“Okay! Look!” She was ecstatic when he looked down at his wrist to see a threaded bracelet of white and red, two beads side by side: I+K.

 

He was silent as she looked at him happily. Somehow, something of the living realm had been able to stay on his body, and more then that, it was something Kagome had given him, something she had spent time making with thoughts of him. Gold eyes glanced up to the smiling face before him.

 

“Do you like it?” She asked, a little unsure about his silence. He looked at her beautiful face, her soft features and full lips, and suddenly he couldn't stop himself, he pulled her close, his lips pressed against hers. She had gasped in surprise and he had taken the opportunity to swallow the surprised sound.

 

He was about to pull away when she had tentatively reached her hand up, cupping his cheek and moving her lips against his, deepening the kiss with a shy hesitation. He smiled against her lips, wrapping his arms around her waist to pull her close.

 

He should have been thinking about how fast things were going, but he was distracted by the soft sigh she let out. Something about this girl had made him trust so completely, time, no matter how short, didn't seem to matter anymore. He knew, somewhere in the back of his mind, that she was meant to be with him.

 

They pulled back for some much needed air, her forehead pressed against his as she closed her eyes, her chest moving up and down, as her arms wrapped loosely around his neck, resting on his shoulders.

 

Blue eyes glanced up to his and he smiled, leaning in and giving her another chaste kiss. She smiled back and kissed him back before the door burst open.

 

“Hey, Kagome. Miroku came over an—What are you doing?” Kagome quickly pulled, her face flushed as she looked at her best friend who was standing at her door, an eyebrow raised in curiosity.

 

Oh, this was awkward….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A/N: Haha you got to love Sango's impeccable timing! I'm trying to slow things down but I don't know, is it working? Haha.

 

Take care,
