Gysophillia

Misstress Hanako

Flower of chapter: Rose - the flower of everyone's favorite. Beautiful and shines through out. It only dies if you don't take good care for it.

After a few months, a new kid had came to school, taking a liking towards Kagome. His name was Kouga Ookami. He was real nice and a great gentlemen. Within two months, InuYasha realized that Kagome had started dating him and he was, of course jealous. But he did tolerate with it. Even though he was dying inside without knowing started noticing his discomfort and thought she should take it to the next level. She took him to her house at night and they had made love...but in the end, without noticing InuYasha called out Kagome's name instead of Kikyo...and she noticed, while he didn't. Everything started going down for InuYasha, especially his relationship with Kikyo. She had told him that he called Kagome's name and he didn't know why. He kept apologizing and again after the third time sleeping with Kikyo, she had enough. It was now clear to her that he really has some serious affections towards Kagome. She had to stop this.

Kouga and Kagome's relationship was steady and strong. Kagome never felt so loved before in her whole entire life. And she even had room to hang out with Sango. It wasn't as hard as she realized. She forgotten about her past relationship with InuYasha as she started dating Kouga. She never realized InuYasha's feelings as well and somehow her heart still tugged as she kisses Kouga.

A year has past since Kagome and Kouga dated and now they are juniors. A new student has enrolled and he takes a liking towards Sango. He also becomes close friends with InuYasha. His name is Miroku Houshi. Strange, but suits him...He soon hangs out with InuYasha alot and begins to flirt around with Sango, and basically every girl around him.

Kouga and Kagome has been pretty well but Kouga urges Kagome alot to take it to the next level. She doesn't feel ready and wants to wait until she is. InuYasha by the way is falling down and Kikyo begins cheating on him with her recent boyfriend, Onigumo Hiromi. InuYasha doesn't believe it while Miroku keeps insisting he leaves her. Kagome also knows and begins to bond with InuYasha by comforting him while he secretly enjoys his time he gets with her while she isn't with Kouga. InuYasha realizes...he loves Kagome dearly. She was his rose from the beginning...A few days later...

"Kagome...Why are you always here for me?" InuYasha asks desperately.

"...I don't know. I guess I just want to be there for you when you need me." Kagome responds while staring out the window.

"I treated you so bad, back then..." InuYasha says solemnly.

"It's okay. That was back then, we all moved on." Kagome smiles while sipping on her hot chocolate then putting it down.

InuYasha can't take it anymore and grips her shoulders tightly as she looks at him, stunned. He shakes crazily and his grip gets tighter as he seem like he's crying. And his eyebrows furrow...

"No! It's not okay! I haven't!" InuYasha shouts and Kagome tilts her head to the side a bit, trying to comprehend what he is saying. "Back then, I never realized how much you meant to me. I treated you so badly and here you are now...helping me through my toughest situation. While I made your toughest situation worst!"

Kagome smiles sympathetically, "Don't worry about it, InuYasha-"

He kisses her.

The world freezes.

"I can't hold back anymore! I love you, Kagome Higurashi!" InuYasha shouts and Kagome retracts hastidly. Stunned and not knowing what to say.

She runs away and tried to get herself away from any of this sticky situation...not again, she thought. Her heart races and her face heats up. That was the first time InuYasha has kissed her...and she never felt so alive. Even when Kouga kisses her...what was she to do?

InuYasha breaks up with Kikyo and she secretly cheers because she won't have no burden on her back anymore. InuYasha tries to talk to Kagome and she avoids him. Kouga sees that she is becoming distant and starts talking to the cheerleading captain, Ayame Sanada. Sango sees and warns Kagome, but she refuses to listen. Why is it that InuYasha always brings trouble? Kagome thought. But she smiles and touches her lips.

"I just loved the way he kissed me." And her eyes widen.

I just loved the way he kissed me. She restated that and realized she really did love him. Eversince they were little. She just didn't know the definition in her own standards.

Love is in many definitions, but what matters is the way you define it. And with that said Kagome walked into the girls' bathroom to wash her face, only to hear moaning and she looks around to find Kouga making out with Ayame. Kagome gets heart broken and runs away.

The next day, she couldn't handle it and broke up with Kouga. Leaving him speechless, yet grateful. He had no more secrets to hide. Sango and Miroku still had their fits but they had a plan to make InuYasha encounter Kagome by "fate." Sango calls Kagome to meet her at the cherry blossom tree and Miroku does the same to InuYasha.

Right now, Kagome is sitting on the bench that was hanging swiftly from the incredibly large cherry blossom tree that was rooted a few yards away from her school. Her eyes staring up at the clouds that drifts above her and for a moment, she looks like she is in deep thought. Breaking out of her trance, her wanderous eyes finds a musculine figure approaching her, slowly. It was him. She tried hard to focuse and she gets a dejavu of this scene...Within the next few moments, he stood infront of her, smiling weakly.

"Hey, Kagome." He spoke, voice full of doubt and confusion. Kagome looked up at him and smiled weakly before answering.

"Hey, InuYasha..." She replied, sounding a bit confused as well.

As soon as the two catch up, InuYasha asks Kagome a personal question,

"Do you ever have regrets about our past?" Kagome turns to him and thinks for a bit.

"...only if we could've taken it to the point of love." She responded.

"I think that we were there...just didn't realize it." InuYasha states and Kagome nods.

"I don't know why but everytime I'm with you, I can just be myself...not anyone else. And I really appreciate that Kagome..." InuYasha states something that Kagome remembers herself say...but in opposite words.

"Everytime I'm with you...I feel that I have to be someone else."

"Ironic huh?" Kagome replies. He looks at her, confused. "Long time ago, everytime I was around you...I felt like someone else." InuYasha nods his head in shame.

"...but I really do mean it when I said I cared." InuYasha reminds her. "And...when I said...I love you."

Kagome smiles delicately and leans in closer. InuYasha turns red but lets her lean in, awaiting her arrival descending on his lips.

"...and I love you too."

Kagome was definitely...InuYasha's rose.
