InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ True Love Lives On ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Chapter 7

Inu-Yasha looked at Kogome with a very funny look on his face.

"I….ummmm….I…"

"You what? Are a big dumb jerk?!"

"No! This is very serious…I LOVE YOU!"

Kagome literally fell backwards onto her bed at that statement.

"How can you love me, when you love Kikyo?"

"I don't love Kikyo, I love you. Kikyo is dead; there is nothing I can do about that. But me and you….there's something special there, and I don't want to loose it."

Kagome's eyes filled up with tears at the last statement made by Inu-Yasha. Finally, after all her pain and suffering, he was confessing his love to her.

`What do I do? What do I say?' she thought silently to herself.

When Kagome finally had the courage to speak, Inu-Yasha cut her off with a kiss.

When the kiss was finally broken, because Kagome had to breathe some time, Inu-Yasha spoke,

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't contain myself any longer. I'm sorry you found me and Kikyo together in the woods again, but I swear to you I was just telling her that I could never see her again because I wanted to be with you."

"Inu-Yasha…I have waited forever to hear you say that. But what happens when we find all the jewel fragments? I mean, how can we live together?"

"That's simple…we can use the jewel to make a pure wish on it….causing the jewel to purify. Either I can wish to live with you in your time, or you can wish to live with me in my time. Either way, I'd say that's a pure wish, wouldn't you?"

"Oh Inu-Yasha!"

Kagome and Inu-Yasha embraced for what seemed like years. When they finally separated Kagome spoke up.

"I need to get you some pillows and sheets…you can't get back through the well anyways tonight."

"Ok, sounds good to me."

When Kagome left the room Inu-Yasha started thinking to himself, `Well, now that Kikyo knows about me and Kagome, she'll no doubt be after her now…not to mention Naraku….now I HAVE to protect her. Then there's the problem of all the others…how will they react to this? Guess we'll find out tomorrow when we go back.'

"Inu-Yasha…are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think I'm going to sleep right next to your bed tonight, if that's ok."

"That's fine with me….are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah, just thinking…well, we better get some sleep, another long day tomorrow."

"You're right…good-night Inu-Yasha…I love you."

"Good-night my angel, I love you too."
