~*Mystifying Love*~ *Ch.3* ~The Theory Comes True~ After a while of 'Sunbathing', Kagome was on her stomach and Inuyasha was on his back. Inuyasha turned his head to look at Kagome and noticed she was asleep. He smiled a small smile and thought to himself… 'She is so beautiful…to think…Kagome, such a tender hearted person, could love me. Me, an 'irritating' hanyou. Heh…how I would love to kiss those tender lips of hers…but I hafto control myself…I'm still not 100% positive she really does love me. In the meantime, I'll stick with what she wrote' he thought starring at her Suddenly, Inuyasha quickly sat up and sniffed the air. He turned to Kagome and gently shook her awake. "Kagome! Wake up!" "Huh…Wha…. WHAT??" she said opening her eyes "We hafto pack up and go now" "Why? Something wrong? IS A DEMON COMING???" she said sitting up and putting her hands on her cheeks "No…It's nothing bad…it's just that we need to go cuz I smell r-" he said being cut off by pouring rain "You smelled rain…you couldn't tell me a little earlier?" "Hey! I woke you up as soon as I could!" "-_-**" Kagome just looked at him "... Can we go???? I'm getting soaked!" "AHHHH!! MY STUFF IS ALL WET!!!" "PICK IT UP AND LETS GO!!!!" he said grabbing her things and shoving it in her bag "INUYASHA!! THE STUFF IN MY BAG WAS DRY AND CLEAN!! NOW IT'S SOAKED!!" "Who cares about this stuff right now! We hafto get to dry grounds! Now!" "Why are you so anxious to get to dry ground??" "Cuz…I'm not exactly 'dressed' to fight right now!" "Huh?" "There are demons that fight better when there's moisture. Now if you wanna come in contact with them we can stay! But I rather not!!!" "Oh! Well…LETS GO!!!" she said grabbing some stuff and running "She makes me carry all this then expects me to rush…*sigh* I'll never understand that woman…." "INUYASHA!!!" "I'M COMIN!!! Jeez…." Then, after a lot of running around and more rain, they finally found a small abandoned hut near a couple of trees. "This'll hafto do for now. At least until it stops raining" Inuyasha said walking in with Kagome "It's not exactly sanitary if you ask me" she said looking around "If it'll keep us from the rain…it's fine!!!" "I guess…" After they got everything settled. Inuyasha made a small fire so their clothes can dry and to keep them warm. "Kagome…whatever that stuff was that we put on…it's starting to come off, and now I feel all greasy…" "Yea…Me too…too bad we don't have any clean dry towels to dry it off with" "Yes we do! Look. Two towels. One for me and one for you!" "NO!! Those are for when I go to the hot spring!! … Oh! Speaking OF the hot spring…as SOON as it stops raining, I'm going. I really need to get this stuff off. If I were you, I would go too, unless you're planning to stay all greasy…" "I don't think so!!! I'm goin!!!" "Alright then. Now that that's settled. I'm hungry. How 'bout you?" "Yea. OOH!! You got any of that stuff that comes in a cup!?? That noodle thing!!" He said reaching for her bag "As a matter a fact I do" she taking the bag before Inuyasha could "Mmmm…I haven't had that stuff in a while!" "^_^ Well, today's your lucky day! All I need to do is heat it up and Bingo! Instant Soup!" she said making it "^_^*" Inuyasha smiled 10 min later they were both eating soup. After they finished they both laid down next to the fire. Inuyasha fell asleep, but Kagome stood up. She couldn't sleep so she started cleaning. The stuff that was dry, which wasn't much, she folded it a put it in a corner. She did that for a while then rested next to Inuyasha. 2 hrs later she realized that the tapping on the hut from the rain stopped. She looked outside and noticed it stopped raining. She became happy and woke Inuyasha up. "Inuyasha!! It stopped raining!! We can go to the hot spring now!!" "Uh…I've been thinkin" "About?" "How come you're encouraging me to go to the hot spring with you? Usually you're telling me to leave. Now you're telling me to go with you" "Well…I need to get this off, you need to get this off. And plus, it's not like we're goin in completely nude!" "Oh. Just because we have what you call 'bathing suits' doesn't mean anything. You actually think I'm plannin to stay in the hot spring wearin this? NO!" "Neither am I. I'm just going in with it on. I'm taking it off in the water. All you need to do is NOT come near me" "Righ…Anyway…can we go now? I'm ready for a hot, as you like to say, 'Bath'..." "Hehe! Lets go. And don't forget the towels!" "I got them. Don't worry" So they walked to the hot spring. Kagome quickly got in and told Inuyasha to put her bathing suit next to the towels. He did so then got in himself. He put his trunks next to Kagome's suit. "Ahhhh…. this feels soooo relaxing…" Kagome said slowly putting her head in the water "I've been needing this for a LONG time…" Inuyasha said placing his hands behind his head For a while, they just starred at each other. 'I hafto tell her. I hafto make her come out in the open. I need to know whether she really does love me!!' he thought "Kagome…" "Hm? What's the matter?" "Uh…remember earlier today…when you asked me if I was hiding something…?" "Yea…" "Well, I sorda am…" "*GASP* I KNEW IT!! What is it??? Spit it out!!!!" she said getting closer to him "Kagome calm down!! This is important!! I can't tell you when you're all angry with me!! It makes me nervous!!" he said looking down "Nervous? … Inuyasha…" "Um…yesterday, after I told you I was gonna see someone. I realized that you probably thought I meant Kikyo. So I went to your time to tell you that it wasn't her I was gonna see…well…I went to your time, but you were sleeping. I WAS gonna wake you up, but I noticed you were laying on a book. I couldn't help but read it, after all, it DID have my name written on it. And when I read it…it said something that really shocked me. And I need to know the truth about it. Do you know what I'm talking about?" he said looking up When he looked at Kagome, her face was in complete and utter shock. (*ô_ô'*) "Uh…y-you mean…m-my diary…?" "Well…yea, I guess…" "W-what did y-you read…?" "Is it true that you love me? I need to know Kagome" he said walking up to her with serious eyes "I-I…", she began as her eyes started to water "Inuyasha!" she ran up to him and hugged him "Ka…Kagome…" he said gently hugging her "I wanted to tell you sooner, but I was afraid that all I would be is a burden to you!" she said crying "A burden? … you never were, and never will be a burden to me…All I want to know is…do you REALLY love me…" "Yes! I do! With all my soul!" she hugged him tighter "That's all I needed to hear. Kagome…", he began, gently lifting her head to face him "I love you Kagome…don't ever think that I could ever love Kikyo the way I love you. After all, I lost Kikyo's heart 50 years ago. How could I love a 'thing' who shows me so much hate…You on the other hand, you…you love me for me…you don't care that I'm a demon, even if not a full one…you care about me…you worry, you cry, and you love me… Now that I know the truth, I will also show you the love you deserve…" he said smiling Kagome smiled back and a tear rolled down her cheek. Inuyasha wiped it away with his thumb and leaned over to kiss Kagome. Once their lips touched, all their senses were blown away. All either of them could feel was the feeling of their warm bodies pressed against each other and the taste of each other's lips. Once they parted, they were both panting. Kagome looked at Inuyasha and said… "Inuyasha…I've been waiting for this day to come for so long. I want to be with you forever…I want to kiss your lips, to hold you, I want you to hold me the way we are right now…for the rest of my life…I love you and no one can ever change that. Just promise me one thing..." "Anything…" "Promise me that you'll love me forever…even from beyond the grave" "I promise to love you even from beyond the grave. I give you my word" "And I give you mine" she said huggin him She then turned around and he placed his arms around her. He leaned in and kissed her neck gently. "I will always be yours" he whispered in her ear She smiled and closed her eyes. They stood there for a while. "We really need to get out of here. We're starting to look like prunes! ~_~*" Kagome said looking at Inuyasha "Heh…yea!" Inuyasha let go of Kagome and turned around. Kagome quickly got out of the water and put a towel on. She picked up the bathing suits and turned away from Inuyasha. Then, Inuyasha got out and put on a towel. He walked up to her and gave her a small kiss on the lips. They walked back to the hut hand in hand. "At least my pajama's are dry. Is your kimono dry?" "Yea, well most of it at least" "Well, I'm gonna get dressed. Turn around! ..." she said pointing to the wall Inuyasha turned around. Kagome got dressed then they repeated the same steps so Inuyasha can get dressed. Inuyasha only had the full bottom and the top-inside part of his kimono on. Inuyasha sat down next to the fire and motioned for Kagome to come and join him. Kagome walked up to him and sat between his legs. He wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace and she laid her head on his chest. "*yawn* I'm tired. You mind if I sleep here tonight Inuyasha?" "Do I mind? Of course not! I WANT you to sleep here. I wouldn't mind if we slept like this all the time!" he said smiling "Hehehe!! We can…" "I know…*sigh*…I love you Kagome…now sleep…we BOTH need rest" "Night Inuyasha. Sweet dreams" "But I'm holding my sweet dreams in my arms right now" he said kissing her forehead "So am I…I love you Inuyasha" Inuyasha smiled and they both drifted into a soft sleep… ~*~ I know, I know…that was VERY long but, "Stick a fork in me, I'm done!" –Chandler from 'Friends' Hope you liked it!!
