Inuyasha and Co. were looking for the jewel shards again. As always, Inuyasha and Kagome had had another row and were walking many meters away from each other. ° He's such a thick head °, thought Kagome when she suddenly managed to hand out a piece of jewelery. "I can feel a splinter of jewels," Kagome said loudly and Inuyasha's ears twitched. "Where," he yelled. "Keep going straight ahead," said Kagome, jumping on Kirara with him. In a hurry they arrived at a lake with a demon. Inuyasha pulled Tessaiga and struck, but it didn't help. "Where's the splinter Kagome?" Asked Miroku and tried to help Inuyasha. "In his back," Kagome yelled at him. The demon shook off Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku and went to Kagome. "You see the jewel shards?" The demon asked her. Without answering, Kagome took out a bow and arrow and shot the demon down. But before he died, he grabbed Kagome's hand and threw her into the lake.Then he disappeared. Miroku went to Sango who was badly injured on the floor. Inuyasha ran to the lake and jumped into it. He looked everywhere for her and finally found her floating on the other side of the lake, unconscious on the bank. He quickly picked her up and brought her ashore. It was a pretty hot day, so Kagome hadn't been too cold. Still, Inuyasha put his top on top of her like a blanket. ° She swallowed too much water, Inuyasha thought. "I have to do it," he said to himself and slowly leaned over Kagome's face. And only millimeters away from each other, Kagome suddenly opened his eyes and was startled to see Inuyasha above him. This backed away quickly and turned bright red. Kagome thought for a moment. ° I remember again. The demon threw me into the water ... Inuyasha didn't want to kiss me ... Why should he have done it? Kagome lost a small sigh. "I, I ... wanted ..." Inuyasha stuttered. "I know ... you wanted to save my life all over again. Thank you!", said Kagome, got up and gave Inuyasha his top back. She wanted to go on and Inuyasha looked at her a bit puzzled." Are you coming? ", Kagome asked without turning to Inuyasha. ° But what? What did she ... Did I do something wrong again? °" Tell me, Kagome ... To me it sounds like I shouldn't be with you trying to save life ", Inuyasha said a little red in the face. ° He's right sometimes it might be better that way °, thought Kagome and then turned around." Of course ... But I'm getting tired of our arguments Inuyasha ! ", Kagome said bravely and looked him in the eye. Then she looked back at the ground." You too? "Inuyasha whispered so that you could still understand it. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha in amazement. What she saw took her breath away. Inuyasha smiled at her. It was a smile of relief. Kagome then had to smile too. But she was but still amazed. "Are you tired of it too? ", she asked something in a whisper and with a reserved voice."Yes ... a long time," said Inuyasha. Inuyasha took a few steps towards Kagome. Kagome couldn't help blushing. But, to Kagome's amazement, Inuyasha remained serious. Now he was standing very close in front of her and leaned over to Kagome. "Tell me how you feel for me, Kagome," the Hanyou whispered softly in her ear. Kagome wanted to give him an answer, which she did. She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Inuyasha's ear: "I love you, Inuyasha" Inuyasha pushed something away from Kagome. Kagome was a little startled. ° Have I made a mistake now? Shouldn't I have told him? °, she no longer understood the world until she slowly looked into Inuyasha's eyes. "I love you too, Kagome," said Inuyasha. A stone fell from Kagome's heart. Then Inuyasha leaned down a little further and kissed Kagome. The time had finally come that both of them had wanted for so long. The first kiss..
