They had gotten into another one of their fights. Kagome had threatened to go home forever, but deep down they both knew it would never happen. Even so, Inuyasha had been scared, and followed Kagome when she left. He assumed she would be going home, but she was sitting in a field, thinking. Probably about our fight he thought.

Kagome was thinking about the fight and realized it was so stupid she couldn’t really remember why they fought in the first place. Nonetheless, he had hurt her with his harsh words.

“He’s such an idiot! Why is it so hard for him to see I love him?”

She loves me? he thought. After the outburst, Kagome hugged her knees to her chest. Leaves started to fall around her, the wind blowing in her hair.

She’s so beautiful. It’s like the leaves never touch her, only surround her… I can’t believe how much of a jerk I was. I’m going to apologize.

Walking carefully behind her he spoke.

“Kagome?”

“What is it Inuyasha? Come to insult me more?” she replied

Inuyasha winced at her words.

“No, actually, I came to apologize. I was a jerk.”

“Are you feeling ok?”

“Feh, Of course I am, why wouldn’t I be?”

“I guess I’m sorry too then. We both said some things we didn’t mean.”

“Yeah, come back to camp with me?”

“Sure.”

Kagome went to get on his back but instead, he picked her up bridal style and said
“I love you too Kagome” and kissed her on the forehead.
He had no idea what possessed him to do so but he was glad he did, for her was rewarded with a soft kiss to his lips. He smiled as the leaves blew around them, never touching them, but signifying a new beginning.
