Chapter 98 - The Words *Antinomie* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Sesshoumaru had left nearly an hour ago, and everyone was settled in for a day of relaxation and comfort. Inuyasha had been keeping an eye on the miko, more than curious about what happened the night before. She seemed better after their chat, and he overheard what she and his half-brother talked about before he turned in for the night. He had also seen her asleep on the taiyoukai's chest, looking very comfortable. Now, she had a small smile on her face, and she seemed a tad out of it. Finally, he could wait no longer.

"What are you smiling about, wench?" he asked, immediately drawing the attention of the others to the little miko.

Kagome's smile widened. "I think I get it now."

"Get what?"

She merely laughed and shook her head, refusing to explain. Once she caught sight of what the taiyoukai had been trying so hard to hide from her, it seemed as if everything fell into place in her mind. Fears of when or why he had fallen in love with her faded away, allowing her to finally assess her feelings. She didn't know how this would work, the two of them being so very different, but she didn't care. They would find a way. They seemed to fit together, and she was looking forward to learning just how much.

Kagome closed her eyes, picturing Sesshoumaru's face, seeing the love in his eyes along with the insecurity, and the sweltering heat. Then she tried to imagine what he would look like when she finally said the words he was waiting for. Several different options presented themselves, and she found herself eagerly awaiting his return so she could see the real thing.

All of the miko's companions watched her curiously, trying to interpret her quickly shifting facial expressions. Something had definitely changed. They just had no idea what.
