InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome's Realization ❯ Chapter 30 ( Chapter 35 )

Author's note: Can you believe that I finished two chapters in one weekend? Me neither. One more thing, I've cracked my connector to the internet so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it fixed or if I'll have problems later when I finish another chapter trying to post it. Have no fear though I shall be updating. Till then hope everyone has a very safe Halloween.

Chapter 30

Kagome yawned and snuggled closer to Inuyasha. She had managed to find Ramen noodles for them to eat. After two bowls apiece they were now enjoying just being together. Not up for sitting in a tree Kagome suggested they climb out her window and sit on the roof and look at the stars.

"Cold?" He asked softly.

"No." She answered and smiled to herself when his body shook with laughter.

"That's good because it isn't cold out here." He rested his head on hers. "Are you falling asleep?"

"No but I feel like I could if I wanted to." Kagome said moving her arm to lace it through his, making herself more comfortable.

"You haven't even looked at the stars have you?" Inuyasha asked adjusting his arm so he could hold her hand.

Kagome laughed at this, "No, I haven't."

"Why did you suggest we come out here then?"

"I didn't feel like watching television and I didn't feel like sitting in a tree. This is what I came up with." Kagome moved her head so that she could look at his face.

He looked at her and smiled softly, then he leaned in and kissed her forehead. "That's what I thought."

Kagome gave him a big smile. "Yeah?"

"Yeah?"

Kagome gave him a loving look and for the first time looked up at the stars and moon. Kagome frowned. "The new moon is soon, isn't it?"

"You would have noticed that already if you had looked up." Inuyasha said trying not to laugh.

"Shut up!" Kagome said pinching him.

"Ouch."

"I thought I'd let you star gaze and I would just enjoy snuggling up next to you." Kagome admitted.

"The new moon is tomorrow." Inuyasha said.

"Wow." Kagome said leaning further in to him.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"It really has been a week, oh my God."

"Kagome?"

Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha "To me it feels like only a day has passed. I mean it seems like just yesterday I was reminding myself that the new moon was in a week and now its tomorrow."

"It's over." Inuyasha said reaching out to grab her hand. "It's over."

"No, it's not. There are so many things that I don't know."

"Kagome, it has only been a few hours since you've been revived." Inuyasha pointed out.

Kagome rubbed her face with her other hand. "I know."

Inuyasha frowned at this. He didn't want to rush into telling her what happened but he didn't want to see her like this either. "What do you want to know?"

Kagome's head snapped up. "Really?"

"Yes."

"What happened" Kagome paused to gulp. "after I died? What did you do first?"

Inuyasha's eyes fluttered shut as he vividly remembered Kagome dying. "I cried."

Kagome felt her chest tighten at the image of Inuyasha crying over her lifeless body. She waited for him to continue.

"At first, I just knew that you had died and that was it, you were gone. My life was to be forever without you in it. It hurt so much, I've never felt anything like it before." He stopped when he smelled Kagome's tears.

"Don't stop." She whispered wiping away her fallen tears.

"After a while I decided that you had too much to live for and too much to do and I wasn't going to let death stop you." He said.

"So you decided to take me back to your time?" Kagome asked after a moments pause.

"Yes. I thought maybe Keade could help."

"And she did, right?"

"She wasn't there."

"Keade was the one who brought me back so you went and found her and brought her back?"

"I didn't think about that. I remembered that Sesshomaru was nearby and went to him to revive you with Tenseiga." Inuyasha watched nervously as Kagome considered what he just told her.

"It didn't work?" Kagome asked her confusion clear.

"No it didn't."

"Why not? Sesshomaru's sword should have revived me." Kagome said her voice rising.

"I'm not going to continue if you're going to get worked up. Also, you'll wake your mother up." Inuyasha warned.

"We didn't know why it didn't work. Not then, anyway, but Miroku remembered a wizard who possessed the ability to bring people back to life so we went to the mountain he was living in but he too failed in reviving you."

"You tried twice to revive me and they failed?" Kagome asked her heart breaking at the answer she knew was coming.

"Yes." Inuyasha answered his gaze on his lap. Kagome felt fresh tears rising as she moved towards him and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him. Inuyasha inhaled her sweet scent and hugged her back. It was an awkward hug seeing as they were both sitting and when Kagome made a move as if to pull away Inuyasha tightened his hold. "Don't." He said freeing an arm to adjust Kagome's sitting position, pulling her across his lap.

Kagome buried her face into the crook of Inuyasha's neck. "I'm not going to leave you." She said clinging to him.

"You did leave me." Inuyasha said turning his face into Kagome's hair. "After the wizard failed to bring you back I didn't know what I was going to do. I had so much hope and faith that the wizard would be able to bring you back and when he couldn't I didn't know what to think or what to do."

"In the end you were able to bring me back. It wasn't all for nothing." Kagome reminded him wishing she could absorb the pain that he felt.

"Not before I had accepted that you were gone and I was going to have to live without you." Inuyasha whispered fighting his own tears.

"Shhh." Kagome said stroking his hair. "Don't think about that."

"I can't not think about it," Inuyasha said pulling back slightly so he could see her face.

Kagome leaned her forehead against his. "It's like you said, its over."

"Yes but I'm not sure I can forget about all the things I felt or everything that's happened." Inuyasha said closing his eyes.

"I'll help you." Kagome said bringing her hand up to stroke his cheek.

"Please." Inuyasha pleaded a few tears finding their way down his face.

"I will." Kagome said wiping away Inuyasha's tears as she shed some of her own. "How about a kiss to make it better?"

"What?" Inuyasha asked just before he felt Kagome's lips kissing his forehead, then both his cheeks, the hollow of his eyes, and the end of his nose.

"A kiss to make it better." Kagome repeated smiling at him before leaning in to kiss him softly on the lips.

Inuyasha's mind went blank when Kagome's sweet, warm lips touched his. How could he think of anything with Kagome kissing him? Without thought Inuyasha turned his head slightly to the side, deepening the kiss. Kagome sighed and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck drawing him closer.

Inuyasha couldn't believe how wonderful it felt to have Kagome in his arms kissing him, drowning his senses with her sweet scent. It was the most amazing feeling. He didn't want it to ever end.

Kagome felt liquid heat in the center of her stomach sending heat to her womanhood and then back to her stomach. When Inuyasha pulled away from her she instantly felt as if a part of her had been ripped away.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha managed.

"Shut up and kiss me." Kagome said silencing him with another kiss. Craving the taste of him Kagome ran her tongue along his bottom lip when Inuyasha's mouth opened in shock she dipped inside, savoring the taste of him. Challenging his tongue to join in on the fun and to her delight he did.

Need completely took over Inuyasha as he deepened the kiss, his hand cupping the back of her neck. When Kagome's tongue moved to return to its mouth his followed. Kagome gripped Inuyasha's shirt so tightly her knuckles turned white.

"Come inside with me." Kagome said against his mouth when they stopped for air.

"Inside?" Inuyasha asked gulping.

"Yes, where it's more comfortable." Kagome said in between kisses.

"Kagome, I don't know if we should…" But Inuyasha couldn't finish when she kissed him again.

"Stay with me, Inuyasha." Kagome rubbed Inuyasha's nose with hers. "I want to be with you. Be with me."

"Are you sure?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome gave him a wicked smile and kissed him again. Guess that's my answer, Inuyasha thought to himself as he scooped Kagome up in his arms and carried her inside.
