"If a demon senses the Shikon Jewel, there is a very good chance you will be hunted down, and even killed."silence was deafening. Everyone, including Kirara, was staring at Kagome. The young miko, wide-eyed and terrified was gaping at Myouga. Killed? That can't be possible . . . I mean, I'm the Keeper of the Shikon Jewel? Don't I get any protection points for taking care of it?!?! The silence was broken with a "Feh." . .yasha?" Kagome asked, still trembling.a theory , the old man said it himself," Inuyasha grumbled, "he doesn't know for sure if you're going to die."there is the possiblity that I may be wrong. . ." Myouga started. everyone turned to Sango, her fists clenched in her lap and her eyes hidden by her hair. "I won't have it. Kagome will not return to her time with that, that thing ." Her tone of voice clearly showed her despise of the jewel. what are you talking about? Kagome will be fine, she is after all a pries--" listen to yourself," the demon slayer said in a quiet voice. "Even after Myouga predicted the worst, which has very good odds of coming true, you still dismiss the warning. Haven't you learned anything during our whole journey, or are you just dense?" She looked up, tears in her eyes. "I won't have another one of my loved ones be put in danger just for the sake of some stupid jewel. " Sango looked Inuyasha straight in the eye. "I never thought that you, Inuyasha, out of all people would even consider putting Kagome in danger . . . after all she's done for you, does she mean that little?" The dog-demon growled, "Of course not! Out of all the people I have met in my whole pathetic life Kagome was the first person who showed me what I can become, who I can become! She means the world to--" Inuyasha stopped, realizing he had said more than he meant to. He looked around the room, recieving looks of surprise, shock, and disbelief. But the face that really made him take a second glance was that of Kagome's. Her expression was not like the others. Her face was soft, her eyes holding a sense of warmth within them. She was not smiling, but she wasn't frowning. It's like she understands . . . thought Inuyasha . . . as if she feels the same way . . . his eyes widened . . . no! I'm being delusional . . . it's wishful thinking. . . outta here." Inuyasha ran out the door of the hut, Tessaiga in hand. wait--" Kagome reached out and pulled Sango's hand, causing her to stop mid-sentence. "Kagome?" shook her head. "Let him go." She turned to face the door. Inuyasha. . .
ran blindly, not knowing where he was going. He stopped as something blocked his path. Goshinboku . . . He plopped down between the roots of the tree. "Damnit!" Inuyasha growled, punching the body of the tree. " I ran out of there like some coward . . . like Kouga." He smirked at his own comment. Kouga will never see the look Kagome gave me back there . . . Inuyasha stopped his train of thought. That look back there . . . it looked so much like the one she gave me this morning . . . that look . . . her eyes . . . it held so much . . . love? The dog demon shook his head violently. No! Kagome could never love me . . . could she? No! She doesn't love me, I'm a hanyou! Doesn't she love that Hobo guy? Inuyasha laid back into the grass and closed his eyes. No, wait, I remember her saying something about his head being empty . . . that's strange, how can someone's head be empty and be alive? But that look she gave me . . . her eyes were so inviting, so warm . . . no one has ever looked at me like that, not even Kikyou . . . well, maybe Mother had, but that was a different kind of love . . . I love Kagome in a special kind of way . . . wait, WHOA! I love Kagome?!?
YELP! Inuyasha's eyes flew open, startled to find the girl of his thoughts standing right behind him. "Damnit Kagome! Don't scare the shit out of me!" Kagome's eyes looked down at his, her eyes softening. "I'm sorry." hanyou was once again startled, this time by her quick submissiveness. Inuyasha wanted to apologize, but then realized his behavior would be considered suspicious. So he did the only thing he could do. He hardened his features once more. "What are you sorry about, girl?" sat down next to Inuyasha, her eyes averted to the floor. "I need to talk to you." She looks so sincere . . . "Eh, what is it then? Hurry up wench, I don't have all day." Inuyasha snapped. lied." Inuyasha's head jerked in her direction. "About what?"Myouga asked me if I had decided what to do with the Shikon Jewel . . ." Kagome's eyes were hidden beneath her hair, her expression unreadable. Inuyasha was silent for a moment, then asked quietly, "So, you've decided what to do . . ." and no . . ." Kagome said softly. "I, I don't know. . ." do you mean you 'don't know'? It's either you do, or you don't. Don't confuse me girl. Now, what were you planning to do with the jewel?"was . . . going to give it to you." again silence roamed the earth. Inuyasha stared at Kagome with a look of disbelief, awe, confusion, and happiness. She wants to give the jewel to me!?! After she knows what I want to do with it . . . wait a minute . . . are you pulling my leg? You're just joking, r-right?" Inuyasha was still in shock, but suspicious of her motives. What's going on through your head Kagome?! keeper of the jewel shook her head, eyes still hidden. "I wanted to give it to you all along, Inuyasha. I have no need for the jewel, for goodness sakes, I didn't even know I had it inside my body! I didn't tell you because . . . I was afraid."
Afraid? Afraid of what? Inuyasha wondered. What's holding you back from me? confirmed his suspicions. "I was afraid that you would turn full demon and forget all about us. But I was also afraid that . . ." she trailed off. "Afraid of what? Kagome, tell me!" Inuyasha shook her by the shoulders. Kagome finally looked up to meet his golden eyes, her eyes glazed with tears. that you would take the jewel to be with Kikyou once again." Inuyasha let his grip on her loosen slowly. Be with Kikyou? That thought hadn't even crossed my mind . . . why would she be thinking of such things? He looked into her eyes once more. That look again . . . that emotion. "Kagome, there's something else you want to tell me, isn't there?" She nodded, then looked away again. "Do you want to tell me?" She shook her head. Inuyasha sighed. I have to tell you, to ease my suffering." Inuyasha looked once again at the girl, who's face was now turned to his. love you."
