Inuhanyo's lips, letting this wonderful touch of her souls pass into the fleeting flow of time, becoming a memory that even now, so soon after, she still did not want to believe to be true. She was still so incredibly close to his face, lost completely in the golden glow of his eyes. The hand on her cheek left her face and ran through the flowing strands of her long hair in a sliding, moving away from her.

Then she saw them, the tiny air bubbles that rose from both of their mouths to the quiet surface, reminded them of where they were at all ...

Gasping for air violently, she thrust her head through the surface of the water, which surrounded her body with splashing, small waves hitting her.

"Inuyasha?" She croaked uncertainly, feeling an uncomfortable scratching rise in her stale, still gasping lungs.

With a loud gurgling and the splashing of countless drops of water that hit the girl directly in her already wet face, she saw the young man emerge. Like a little dog fallen into water, the Inuhanyo shook his head and shook the wet and liquid element from his silver hair in a reluctant manner.

"Wh ... what was that ...?" She heard him say confused.

"I'm sorry ...", Kagome replied quietly, feeling that unbearable feeling again, the fear of still being able to be rejected, awakening inside her.

"What ...? No, you don't mean it ...", his voice whispered softly, carrying disappointment and horror with it and Kagome believed to feel her heart, her whole inner world contracting painfully at her sound.Her gaze wandered up from the teetering image of herself, along the young man's dripping clothes, to his face. She could still see him, the dark shadow in the golden depths, the dim glow that was still trying to tear her heart in two. The shadow with which the Inuhanyo shielded himself from people and everyone who might be able to love him in his early childhood. And now ... would he now keep her away from him too? Protect him? Before her and her feelings ... her love?

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha ... I ..."

"No ...", she heard him say, softly, almost pleading, which made her eyes widen in amazement.

"No.", he said one more time and she saw how the young man began to move, hesitantly walking towards her through the water, which repeatedly pushed itself from his body in gentle waves.

"Please don't say you are sorry ..."

And the next movement of the Inuhanyo was such a hasty act so unpredictable to the human eye that the girl in front of it almost startled. His movement was so arbitrary, so fast that she involuntarily flinched when she noticed how two strong arms closed around her body completely surprisingly, she could feel his closeness almost directly on her skin.

"Please don't say that what I just felt ... wasn't real ..." she heard his softly whispering voice, which, together with his warm closeness, made her pulse rush.

"Inuyasha ..." she mumbled, bewitched by his words, so astonishing at his sudden, sensitive embrace.

"I can't be without you anymore ..."

Shocked at the words that penetrated her like a breathtaking, unreal melody, Kagome stumbled back a staggering step. With so much feeling, a sad accusation and lovely affection at the same time, and yet so light as a feather, so beautiful was the sound, which faded away with a pleasant tingling sensation in her distorting interior. A touch of warmth that hit her against the cold and wet skin of her throat.

"Back then ... when it all began, I woke up from my sleep and we met for the first time ..." she heard him say again, so emotionally, slightly hesitantly and yet somehow at ease.

She noticed a gentle movement of his head, how he rose a little and the breaths ebbed against her skin.

"The whole time I was looking for something that I couldn't define for so long. And I thought I would find out what was wrong ... I would figure it out sometime.", She heard him say, felt like before as if stunned by his words.
"Please stay ..." asked the young man. "I beg you, stay by my side ... I finally understood that what I was looking for for so long ... that I have long since found it. You .."

Satisfied, Kagome closed the lids of her eyes, felt so weak, fought against the dwindling feeling, the yielding desire in her legs.

"I don't want to lose you again ...", she listened to his honest words, the truth, which was no longer ready to be scorned, could no longer be deceived, as well as the time, whose laws had so often lost their meaning."You just wanted to know from me what is bothering me ..."

The Inuhanyo's left hand wandered timidly over the wet, white fabric of her blouse that was clinging to her body, caressed her back and lay down on her soggy shoulder, clinging weakly. Reluctantly, the feeling of warmth gave way and the dark shadows of her eyelids slid out of her field of vision when she noticed that Inuyasha had moved a little further away from her.

"Now you know.", She heard him say softly, almost whispering and her gaze slid up a little, leaving her surprised, even slightly shocked, at the strange, excited, uncertain and restless shimmering glow in the otherwise so dreary glow , deep eyes of the young man, the insides of her two hands in front of her mouth ...




He felt so alive and so weak at the same time ...
The young man suddenly succumbed to the urge to just give in with his knees, to throw himself in front of her, to reveal his inner world, his deepest secrets. He wanted to touch her and never let her go again. He needed her ... now ... always and every moment that was to come.

But especially now, in this moment full of uncertainty and vulnerability, the moment when he felt more human than ever before in his life. Right now, in the transience of this moment, in which the calming light of the silver moon glided to the earth and the lovely being in front of him was immersed in breathtaking beauty. Kagome's damp, black and long hair shimmered blue under the grace of the wandering glow and the gentle, cold wind carried its aroma ticklingly on his nose. And his impatience for her reaction became more and more insane, more and more urgent.

Inuyasha sighed at her motionlessness and he had the feeling that he had to pull her into his arms again on the spot for her to understand. Felt the compulsion to kiss her instantly just so she could understand ... that he loved her.

Anything was better than this, his heart-eating silence ...

"I love you ..." his lips formed these three words, sending them through the darkness of the forest with an incredibly melodic and soulful sound.

"And it is up to you what you do with this knowledge.", He added, his words no more than a whisper, while his eyes closed carefully and he loosened his two hands from the girl and slid down his sides let.

His whole existence, his whole existence longed for the closeness of this girl, the feelings that she only aroused in him with her mere presence and which the Inuhanyo had completely fallen for. He had lost his heart to Kagome ...

"Inuyasha ..." he finally heard her sweet voice speak and he immediately opened his eyes.

"I've been thinking a lot lately ... But I was a coward, afraid of my own feelings and feelings. But I realized ... it doesn't matter what you think of me if I should ask you about it.It wouldn't change my feelings about you. And yet I didn't make it ... "

The young man uttered a low, slightly confused tone when he noticed how she smiled gently as she interrupted her sentence and he dared a careful look into the, him suddenly so enigmatic brown in Kagome's eyes, while she shyly too the fingers of her right hand brushed a few strands of her wet hair behind her left ear.

"I want you to finally start enjoying your life. I want you to smile ... for you to finally be happy. But all this time I've been wondering if I can stay by your side for that. And now ..."

One more time she smiled so breathtakingly at him.

"Now I know it is possible ... and I know that if I kissed you again, you would reciprocate."

The Inuhanyo was just speechless. Without letting another second pass, he grabbed Kagome stormily in his arms, feeling the warm skin of a delicate hand, which gently touched him on the right cheek of his face.

"I love you, Inuyasha ..."

The claws of his right hand carefully reached for the one on his cheek, carefully guiding it away from his face, while his other hand reluctantly placed itself on Kagome's, wandered down to her pretty face and caressed soft skin. He enjoyed the tingling sensation under the tips of his claws before they slowly and tremblingly pushed themselves under her chin, gently touching it to pull her a little closer to him.

The lids of his eyes blinked closed while, driven by every single beat of his wildly pounding heart, he came a little closer to the beautiful face of Kagome in front of him. Their lips touched each other gently, found each other under a sweet breath, while gently, as if carried by a magical wing, the other hand of the young man touched the other cheek of the girl. Timidly kissing, she wandered up to the back of Kagome's neck, touched wet hair and soft, warm skin, only to pull her a little closer to her.

Her lips just gently placed on each other ... a measuring touch that chased small, heated flames through every fiber of his body and forced the otherwise strong Inuhanyo to fight against the strange but also pleasant dwindling of his strength, dragged him to his mind ...

There was so much that was raging inside him, trying to let his wild heart jump out of his chest, gradually letting the sound of melancholy in his soul fade away ...

Here, where nothing but the darkness of the night listened and the gentle waves of the water cradled the two lovers in its embrace. A world in which the brightly shining stars watched over the peace and where tiny gold lights danced under the glow of the
