Chapter Four

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, surprised at what had just happened. He had never expected her to kiss him and he didn’t expect that he would kiss back. Most of all, however, he didn’t expect that it would feel so good.

Kagome was just as surprised. Inuyasha was the first person she had ever kissed romantically. If felt so right and at the same time, so wrong. Should she have kissed him? She knew that she should have.

Kagome was surprised when Inuyasha hugged her tightly, silver hair falling on her shoulders. He whispered something in her ear. Something that sounded like ‘I love you’.

He had said it again. Her heart soared. Inuyasha loved her and even though she already knew it, it was still nice to hear.

She smiled and hugged him back.

It was a week later and the funeral had come and gone. He had been buried at a burial ground not far away beside all of the other keepers of the Higurashi Shrine.

Many people had come to the funeral to pay respects to the old man and to offer condolences to the grieving family.

Inuyasha had supported Kagome through the whole ordeal. He had vowed to himself to be by her side and he was. He loved Kagome and would do anything to make her feel better.

Overall, it had been a beautiful funeral and it honored the Grandfather very well. Now, through many tears, it was over.

Kagome stood at the grave of her Grandfather. Tears were going down her face, hitting the ground below.

She looked down at her feet. Below her, was her Grandfather’s body laying in a coffin. A lifeless body. But, he wasn’t truly below her, in fact, he was very far above her.

Kagome cast her eyes toward the sky. “God, please keep him happy,” she prayed, “and please let him know that I love him.”

Kagome placed a flower on the grave before running to the edge of the cemetery. She could have sworn, as she ran towards Inuyasha who was waiting on her, that she heard an “I will.”

A/N: Well, that was the last chapter. I know that it wasn’t long and it didn’t go into that much detail, but I thought that it ended this story fairly well! Inuyasha still didn't learn all of his numbers...
