The Reason

Chapter 14 - The Reason

Last Time:

As the last notes of the song died away and the couples reluctantly broke apart, Soon another sound filled the gym. It was the sound of skin against skin. Miroku could no longer hold back. As he and Sango broke apart, her lovely green eyes looked up at him. Sango was leaning in to kiss him, but that was before she felt something on her rear end that shouldn't be there. She slapped Miroku hard as she yelled out, "HENTAI!" storming out of the gym with tears stinging her eyes, all she left behind was a big commotion and a red handprint.

But neither Kagome nor Inuyasha heard either of these sounds. They were entranced in each other's eyes. Amber into azure, and azure into amber. Kagome whispered to the air, "Inuyasha."

************************************************************

Kagome sighed. Moonlight streamed through her window and unto the space between her bed and Sango's futon, where Sango now lay sleeping, or it least it seemed. She was thinking about what had happened that night. she timidly put to fingers to her lips. `Was it really real? Was it a dream or not? But it was so real! It couldn't be a dream, could it?' she turned the events over and over and over again in her mind. Little did she know, that the house was almost full of those very same thoughts.

*************************************************************** *

The dance had ended. So was the romance between Sango and Miroku. Sango sat under a tree in the empty schoolyard, crying. `That idiot lecher! Why does he always have to ruin it? Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, IDIOT!!' she thought. Then saying out loud, "Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, Idiot, idiot, IDIOT!"

A voice from behind her said, "Talkin' about me, aren't ya?" Miroku sat down next to her.

Sango turned her head away and fiercely wiped her eyes, "Maybe" she replied.

"Don't worry. I think I'm an idiot, too" Miroku said.

Sango didn't respond to this, Miroku continued. Picking at the dead February grass, he said, "I-I-I'm sorry, Sango"

"Well ya should!" she retorted.

He didn't say anything. It was true, "I-I-I-I didn't know that we were candidates. If I knew, then, I would've pulled out."

"So you're saying that you don't want us to be cutest couple?!" Sango replied angrily, tears coming back.

"No! no, no, no! nothing like that, its-its just that-"he sighed and stood up. Maybe it would be easier if he didn't have to look at her, he couldn't help but getting lost in her eyes. "It's just that I knew I would ruin it somehow or other, probably doing what I just did."

Sango stood up and looked at him. "So, are you saying you really didn't mean it?" He nodded. She slunk down the tree trunk and sat down. She motioned for Miroku to do the same. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry"

"Wha-? Huh? What are you talking about? I'm the lecher here," he said.

"Its not that, I know that. Its just that, maybe I shouldn't have hit you so hard." She said. "Or in front of all those people." She looked away from him. It was harder to talk to him if she had to get lost in his violet blue eyes. his eyes almost made her want to ignore his groping.

For awhile, no one said anything. They just sat there, sitting. Soon though, Miroku broke the silence. He turned to her and gently said, "Sango,"

She turned to him and cocked her head to the side. "What is it?" they locked eyes for a single moment, then the next thing she knew, his body was against hers, along with his lips. She sat rigid for a moment before sinking into the kiss.

Her first kiss. Her first real kiss. There was that one guy in her village, but it was nothing compared to this. It was the same with him. For all of his lechery, Miroku didn't really get far with women. He had been kissed before, but that was all gone with the kiss with Sango.

Reluctantly, they broke apart. They stared into each other's eyes before going into another kiss. This one was much shorter, Sango broke it off and rested her head on his chest. She had to. It was no or never. She took a deep breath and said looking up at him, "Miroku?" he looked down at her. she took another deep breath and braced herself. "I love you, Miroku."

Miroku smiled. She loved him. Now he knew what he had to do. "I love you, too Sango" and with that they shared another kiss.

******************************************************

Inuyasha sat on the roof with his guitar. He was playing random things on his guitar. Switching songs in the middle of each other. He soon found himself playing The Reason by Hoobastank again. He soon heard someone singing behind him.

But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you

He stopped suddenly, stood up and turned around. Brandishing the guitar like a sword. He saw it was Kagome. She stood there, holding her hands up in a sign of peace. He brought down the guitar and placed it on the little ledge near the ventilation shaft of the school where he was sitting.

Kagome walked closer to him so that they could talk. Inuyasha said to her, "You know you got the words wrong, right?"

She rolled her eyes. "Well, I heard it only once."

"Keh!" he responded.

She sat down where he once sat and picked up the guitar. She began playing, trying to play The Reason. It was a futile attempt. Soon Inuyasha rolled his eyes and said, "Oi, can't you do anything right."

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him, but was pleased when he moved behind her and put her into his lap while he moved her fingers to the right positions. It was just like how her father taught her to play. Inuyasha had taken over the guitar again, but Kagome no longer played and just sat in his lap, enjoying his warmth. Soon she found herself being lulled to sleep, but not just yet. Craning her neck to look up at Inuyasha, who had come to put his chin on her head, she said, "Inuyasha?"

"What?" he said, stopping in the middle of playing Times Like These by the Foo Fighters.

"D-d-did you really mean it? what the song said?" Kagome asked timidly.

Inuyasha sighed. He knew this question was coming, but he really wasn't looking forward to answer. He instead pushed Kagome off of his lap and putting the guitar down, stood up. He looked at her, sitting there, and couldn't tear his eyes away. Soon Kagome stood up and came up to him. She looked up at him, and asked again, "Did you mean what the song said?"

"Yes." He replied more confidently as he actually felt.

suddenly, Kagome pulled Inuyasha into a hug, which he returned without hesitation. Pulling back a bit, they looked into each other's eyes. once more, amber eyes into azure ones, and azure into amber. They stood locked in an endless moment, even longer than that one time in the forest. This time, Inuyasha got his chance to move in closer. And this time, Kagome didn't pull away. In fact, she moved closer to Inuyasha, too. Soon their eyes closed and their lips met.

It was like nothing either had ever felt before. For Inuyasha, who kissed Kikyo before, was better than anything he had ever felt with Kikyo. Her reincarnation was a lot better than the original. For Kagome, this was her first kiss. And it was the best thing she ever felt.

Soon they broke the kiss and Kagome was enveloped in the strong arms of Inuyasha. They stood so for a while before Kagome summoned the will to ask a question that was on both their minds. She broke away from him and looked at him straight in the eye. Taking a deep breath she said, "Choose."

That single word made feelings and thoughts churn inside of him. He knew he would have to face the question sooner or later. He thought of everything he had experienced with Kikyo and compared them to what he felt with Kagome. With Kagome he felt angry, sad, happy and more. Compared to Kikyo, she dwarfed her. he looked down at Kagome. She looked so beautiful. Her hair away from her face, moonlight glinting of her pale skin, and a fierce look in her eye. Her eyes. that's what said it all. The eyes are a window to your soul. Kikyo's were always neutral, always the same. Unchanging. Almost cold in a way. But Kagome's! They changed more than the weather. And that was it was decided. He was going with Kagome.

He pulled her to him again and rested his cheek on her hair. He took in a deep breath, both to calm himself and get a nice whiff of Kagome's scent of eucalyptus, peppermint and a slight hint of vanilla. Softly he said, "You. You are the one I choose, Kagome."

Those words were said so softly, but yet they had such an impact on her. the tears that welled up in her eyes spilled over. Inuyasha smelt salt mixing with her scent and he was afraid that he had caused it. breaking away to look at her and find his worst fears confirmed, he said, "Kagome! I-I-I'm sorry! did I do this? I-If it makes you sad, I take it back!"

"No! I'm crying because I'm happy, you idiot!" she yelled.

"Keh! Damn women and their conf-" he was cut off as Kagome kissed him again. When the kiss broke, Inuyasha put a hand to her face, and she did the same.

"I'm starting to wonder if this is a dream," Kagome said, stroking Inuyasha's face. In truth, it did look like a dream. Everything was sort of hazy under the light of the full moon.

"Me too," Inuyasha said.

"You know, I never got that slow dance." Kagome said.

Inuyasha laughed. Something he did rarely. "Okay, okay."

And they started to dance under the moonlight. Kagome started to hum The Reason and Inuyasha started with the words from the chorus, the most important thing he had to tell Kagome.

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
