so long, she was finally able to process her grief, her pain. She had felt so comfortable with him and yet had actually believed that he would feel the same way. She had thought like a little child. After all, they hardly knew each other at all. She stopped. She had just poured out her soul to him, had given him insights into her deepest interior. He probably knew her better than her mother. He had taken her in, comforted her and was there for her. One day or not, they knew each other better than she now wanted to admit!Maybe he felt more for her after all ... but she immediately shook off that thought and walked on, this time a little faster.

The days passed rather slowly and Kagome spent most of them in her room, if not at one of her jobs. This guy just couldn't get out of her head. But the longer she thought about him, the more embarrassing this whole stupid situation seemed to be. He was something like her new boss and she had completely embarrassed herself before the official start of work. Could she even go there now without constantly feeling crooked looks at herself?

Inuyasha was no different either. Most of the time he just sat around in his room and stared out the window. Miroku had become a lot worried about his friend over the days because it was never his way of doing nothing. So on Friday he decided to get Inuyasha around again. Imprisoned for half a week was not doing him any good.
"Inuyasha, do you want to come to the study party tonight? I asked Shippo and he said he wouldn't mind if I brought one or two friends with me." lately, sitting on the windowsill with a coffee and staring thoughtfully at the sky, there was no reaction other than a brief shake of the head. Miroku gave him a helpless look before he remembered something. Somehow he had to elicit a reaction from him, if he had to be yelled at for it. "I have to go now. I'll take your car, okay?" Inuyasha nodded silently and thoughtfully and Miroku, who was slowly getting too colorful, yelled at him in turn. "INUYASHA! It's enough! Do you want to spend your whole life on that stupid windowsill and melt away with self-pity?" Now finally Inuyasha got an answer, but not the one Miroku had thought of. "Miroku, if you really want to drive my car, just take the key and leave me alone."With that, Inuyasha turned back to the window and fell into a long silence.
He just couldn't get this girl out of his head. She was really annoying the way she was always complaining about him, but when she sat so helpless and fragile in front of him and then cried at him ... that was a completely different person who had stood in front of him. Actually, he had never wanted to let go of her again and wanted to protect her forever, but she had to go. Everything in him longed for her, her wonderful scent, her beautiful, dark eyes and the way she smiled.
“Miroku, what day do we have today?” The person addressed, who had just packed his things angrily, was now standing confused in the living room and stared at Inuyasha again questioningly. “Friday, why?” Suddenly Inuyasha was wide awake again. He jumped up and beamed at Miroku. "You know what? I think you should take a little break this weekend. Take my car and drive out into the country, I'll take care of everything here for so long." Miroku was now suspicious. "Why the sudden change of heart? Besides, you've never done anything independently in your life in the house. When I'm here again, the whole apartment will be littered." "I just thought that you could need a vacation and I would have to Quiet to think, after all I seem to get on your nerves. Besides, Ka- "He broke off immediately and saw something red around his nose on the ground. "Well, I meant ..." Miroku smiled. "Oh, the shoe pinches. Of course I'll leave you alone for the weekend." With a wink he went to his room, packed a few more things, then took Inuyasha's car keys and left the apartment with a "Have fun" . Inuyasha wanted to reply something because it didn't quite suit him that Miroku was already calling him "one of those", but for now he was glad that he was alone with Kagome.It was an opportunity for him to apologize to her and get to know her better.

Sighing, Kagome got up and went into the bathroom. Today she had to go back to him and probably hear how ridiculous he found her behavior. On the other hand, he had been really nice to her and even comforted her. ° Oh man, he saw me cry. ° Your reflection turned red.
After showering, she hurried to her room and opened her closet. She only worked for him, but she could still wear something nice. Since it was warm again, she put on a white summer dress with a red flower pattern and beautiful white sandals. She smiled quickly at her mirror, then ran into the kitchen, ate something, and then went to the front door. "I'll be back later!" She shouted and was then already gone.
She walked slowly down the street. On Saturday mornings it wasn't quite as crowded here as usual, as most slept longer. That's why she was able to enjoy the silence, which was only interrupted by the twittering of birds, and let the warm sunbeams fall on her face. For some reason she was in a great mood, and it stayed that way until she stood in front of the block again and hesitantly pressed the doorbell.

Inuyasha got up early and, after showering, had dressed in a little more than usual clothes. He was wearing black trousers and a short-sleeved red shirt. He grinned in the mirror and thanked Miroku inwardly once for having such a good taste in clothes and also the same size as him. After all, Miroku got his car over the weekend ...
He had a quick breakfast and then cleaned up the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Immediately he ran to the door, almost tripping over the chair because Miroku had moved it and he still hadn't got used to it. He pressed the button and then opened the apartment door.He stood there nervously, staring at the stairs.

Kagome came slowly up the stairs and sighed again briefly before turning the last corner and climbing the few steps to the landing. She had turned her gaze to the ground, which is why she did not notice Inuyasha, who even forgot to take a breath in the face of this angelic creature who was walking towards him. She stopped and looked up, straight into two warm brown eyes that were almost staring at her. "Um ... hello, Inuyasha ... or ... Lord-" "Inuyasha is ok. Well, that's enough, I mean. I mean ... you look good and ... um ... me my, that's a nice dress, well, today it's nice and warm and you can wear a dress like that. So, as a girl and- "" Inuyasha, what are you talking about? "Kagome looked at him a little crooked and concerned at. Instantly Inuyasha blushed and turned, with a little swing, towards the door, so that he almost ran into it. "Come in!" He said somewhat sheepishly. ° Great, now I'm going to make a fool of myself! ° She smiled a little and followed him into the apartment. "You know, I first cleaned up. Because Miroku is not there, I was bored. But if you want, you can sit down and maybe have a drink with me. Then we could get to know each other a little better." He blushed again. Of course, that sounded exactly the way it shouldn't! After Kagome nodded a little confused again, he left quickly and got two glasses and a pot of iced tea. He put everything down on the table, filled the glasses and sat down next to her.
"Inuyasha, are you really fine too? You are so strange today, maybe I should come back later.", Kagome said after Inuyasha almost fell off the couch because he didn't want to do anything wrong again and she was so close on the skin. Inuyasha, who was now also sitting, looked after her confused when she got up. ° No, this time I won't just let her go!° "No!" He said quickly, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back slightly. But since today was apparently not his day, he pulled with too much momentum and she landed exactly, how could it have otherwise, on his lap. You couldn't really tell which of the two got more color on your face. Kagome was so perplexed that she couldn't move at first and just sat there and stared at Inuyasha. Straight into his warm eyes, which, after the first shock, were now looking at them almost lovingly. Slowly he raised a hand and brushed a stray strand of hair back from her face. "I'm sorry about what happened the other day. I didn't want you to cry, and I didn't want you to go either. I just couldn't bring myself to run after you, but I wanted to. I've had you so badly ever since missed, but didn't dare to go to you because I had hurt you so much. I'm sorry. "At the end his voice grew lower and lower until he fell silent and then gently wiped a tear from Kagome's cheek meanwhile rolled out of sight. She was just too stupid. She thought he would laugh at her and now this! Smiling, she let herself fall into his arms and leaned her head on his shoulder. He put his arms around her and his face on her head. He closed his eyes and breathed in her wonderful scent while gently stroking her back. “Kagome, I never want to let you go again and I don't want you to cry anymore.” She nodded barely noticeably and pressed herself a little tighter against him.

A week later she was happily walking down the street towards the city with Inuyasha, who was smiling at her every now and then. She stopped at the little kiosk and bought the newspaper as she did every week. "Well, my little one, who is your boyfriend there?" Kagome smiled friendly at the kiosk owner and then briefly looked over at Inuyasha, who was reading the front page of the newspaper."This ... is my classified ad!", She finally said and winked at the man again before calling Inuyasha and walking on with him.
