Chapter 6- True feelings

Inuyasha had been awake for a few hours already and was sitting by the well waiting for Kagome to return. 'Where is she already! I need to know if she is still mad at me. I need to see her.' He sighed and just then caught a wonderful scent. It was Kagome. She was back. He jumped into the well and grabbed her and her big yellow bag and jumped out with them both in hand. They stood face to face just outside the well.

"Inuyasha I need to talk to you…" Kagome started to talk but was lost in his eyes.

She tried to look away so that she could talk to him with a clear head but she was having great trouble. He saw this and picked her up once again, leaving her bag behind as he ran as far away from the well and everyone else as he could. When he was sure he was far enough away from everyone, he stopped. It was a beautiful place, too. They were on the top of a hill. There were flowers all around them and it looked down on a lake. Everything looked perfect. He had been planning to take Kagome to this place for a long time to talk alone but he never had the courage to do it before.

"Where are we? This is beautiful! Why did you take me here?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, who blushed a little, then looked away.

"It's just a place I go to sometimes to think. I wanted you to see it. I though you might like it here. At least we can be alone here so we can…talk.. I don't think that anyone will find us here. " Inuyasha was blushing even more now. But he looked Kagome determinedly in the eyes. At that moment they could both feel the others love.

"Kagome…" Inuyasha started to say something but couldn't remember what it was because he was lost in her eyes. She blushed and looked away. Inuyasha put his hand on her cheek and moved her head slowly toward his. When their eyes met she opened her mouth wide and gasped a little because she couldn't believe how wonderful he looked at that moment. "Kagome? Are…you still mad at me?" Inuyasha's voice was soft and loving when he spoke.

Kagome looked surprised for a second, having already forgotten that she had been so angry the day before. "No. I understand why you were scared to tell me about everything. I just wish you could talk to me more." She looked away again.

He lifted her face to meet his once more and looked deep into her eyes. " I am here to talk to you now, aren't I?" Inuyasha said in such a sweet voice that Kagome melted. She couldn't move; she couldn't even speak. They started to move their faces closer together slowly. Their eyes never left each other's gaze until they finally kissed. They both shut their eyes tightly and Inuyasha put his arms around Kagome, bringing her closer to him. The kiss deepened as Kagome put her arms around his neck. Kagome seemed weak in the knees again, so Inuyasha held her even tighter. Kagome moaned ever so slightly and it drove Inuyasha crazy.

Kagome was quickly losing herself in Inuyasha's embrace. 'Is this really happening? Does this mean he wants to be with me? What will I do if he rejects me? I love him so much.' Kagome tried to clear her thought, but she just couldn't. Just then Inuyasha pulled away, leaving her breathless and wanting more.

"Kagome…" His voice was shaky and he was panting a bit. "What's wrong? I am sorry if I upset you." Inuyasha could feel that she was scared and even nervous. He didn't want her to feel either one. 'Does this mean she doesn't want me to kiss her any more? What if she rejects me?'

"I just…." She was having trouble speaking. "Inuyasha….do you…want to be with me? I know that we HAVE to stay near each other now, but is that what you really want? Do you want us to be more than friends?" Kagome couldn't believe she'd just asked him that. She was scared and nervous, but she could tell that he was too.

"Kagome. I have always wanted you to stay with me. I don't know what I would do if you left to stay in your time. I…..want you to be more than just my friend…I want you to be…."

Inuyasha was very nervous, and he was beginning to perspire - even his hands were shaking. Kagome grabbed his hands to stop them from shaking, and looked into his eyes. 'She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,' Inuyasha thought to himself, then tried to speak again. "I want you to be…..my…mate. Would you be my life mate Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, blushing as he watched Kagome's surprised face light up. Then Kagome smiled in such a way, that his heart nearly stopped. She was breathtaking, and Inuyasha didn't think he could live without her, but did she feel the same way?

"Inuyasha?? Do you mean that?" She gasped when he nodded yes, and then looked at the ground. "Oh my god. I…well….."At first she couldn't find the words. After several moments of silence, Kagome blurted out, "of course!!" She through herself into his arms once more. Kagome had tears in her eyes because she was so happy. 'I can't believe this! He wants us to be together always!' "Can we get married too? My mother would want us to be married." Kagome asked looking happy and hopeful.

"Whatever you want." Inuyasha said with a big smile. "I will do anything that will make you happy." He leaned down to her face and gave her another kiss, but this time it was different. Neither of them were scared anymore, and they let their true feelings fully show in their kiss. It was so intense that Inuyasha could no longer stand, so he lowered them both down onto the soft grass. He pulled away for a moment to take off his top and place it on the ground, and then he moved Kagome onto it so she would be more comfortable. He got on top of Kagome while holding most of his weight off of her so that he wouldn't hurt her. They started to kiss again.

When the kisses started to get too intense, Kagome pulled away a little. She didn't think she could take much more before she gave into him completely, so she had to stop. She couldn't give herself to him until they were married. "Inuyasha can you just hold me for a while?" He nodded and looked a little upset, but he wasn't even a little bit angry , so she let it go. Inuyasha lifted himself off Kagome, then lay on his back before pulling her close to him again. She put her head on his chest and her arm around his waist. They stayed like that for a little while before they both fall asleep. Since neither had gotten much sleep the night before, due to each worry about the other, they welcomed sleep happily.

Kouga found them a short time later. He looked at the two sleeping on the ground, and then yelled "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY WOMAN???!!!!!!!!" This woke the two pretty quickly and they jumped up.

"Kouga I am NOT your woman!! I am with Inuyasha now. We are going to be life mates," Kagome told the angry wolf demon with a bit of a blush on her face.

"What are you talking about!? Of course you are my woman! And I refuse to let you be with dog crap over there!! Now come with me! I will take care of you from now on!" Kouga sounded stern and very angry. 'How dare she say she is not my woman?!' he thought to himself.

Inuyasha was now angrier then he had ever been in his life. 'We finally told each other that we wanted to be together and this fucking asshole comes and tries to mess it up?! NO WAY!' "If you don't leave right now you won't be able to, you fucking asshole!!! How darn you!! She was NEVER yours and never will be! LEAVE NOW!!!" Inuyasha's tone was enough to scare even Kagome, but Kouga wasn't moving.

"FUCK YOU! SHE IS MINE!" Kouga yelled, running at Inuyasha at full speed, throwing him hard into a tree.

"INUYASHA!!!!!!" Kagome yelled and watched as Inuyasha got up off the ground, then began exchanging punches with Kouga.

"Die you fucking bastard!" Inuyasha yelled as he punched Kouga in the nose so hard that it broke and began to bleed all over. Kouga didn't stop for a second, kicking Inuyasha in the face, followed by a punch to the stomach hard enough to send him flying. Inuyasha hit his head on a rock as he fell, and his head started to bleed. He was becoming dizzy, but didn't slow down at all. He was able to roll out of the way of another one of Kouga's kicks, and then he was on his feet. Inuyasha then pulled out Tetsusaiga and used Zaze-No-Kizu on Kouga, but he was too fast and managed to get out of the way in time.

Kagome had seen enough of this. She was now infuriated and Inuyasha could tell but he did not stop fighting to look at her. "STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!!" Kagome yelled.

When they stopped and looked at her, the two pugilists were both a little scared at what they saw. Kagome's aura was strong and she had a bright purple light all around her. Her hair was flying wildly in the wind as she walked toward them. Her miko powers were very strong now that she was angry, and they were both afraid she might purify them by mistake because she was so mad. They both stepped back a bit. "Please calm down Kagome. You are going to kill us BOTH if you don't control yourself! Your miko powers are too strong because you have my blood in you. Please calm down!" Inuyasha was worried that she might do something that she would later regret, but Kagome seemed to calm down a little when she felt his worry.

"Kouga! LEAVE NOW! I am not your woman and I will never be! Do you understand me??" Kagome was still moving toward them and she looked very angry, and bright light surrounded her.

"Ye…yes. I will go if that's what you want." Kouga looked hurt and this calmed Kagome completely. She was no longer mad, in fact she felt a little guilty, but that passed quickly.

"Yes it's what I want. I hope that we can still be friends, but nothing more than that will ever happen between us Kouga." Kagome said this in a stern voice and watched solemnly as Kouga nodded to her, then left quickly in a blur. Once he was gone ,Kagome felt a little dizzy and she started to fall but Inuyasha caught her before she hit the ground.

"Are you ok???" Inuyasha yelled, sounding upset and a little surprised.

"I….think so. I don't know what happened, but I feel dizzy. I think I need to sleep for a bit. Will you hold me?" Kagome asked very softly. Then Inuyasha looked relieved, and laid them both down on the grass. Kagome fell asleep once again, hoping that Kouga would not return any time soon.

Inuyasha looked down at the sleeping Kagome, with her head pillowed upon his chest once again. 'She is so beautiful. I can't believe she really wants to be my life mate.' he smiled, whispering into her ear ever so softly. "I love you, my Kagome." Then he fell asleep again himself.

Kagome had not heard his confession to her, but was happy nonetheless in his arms fast asleep, dreaming of their future together.
