Is this love?

Ok sorry it's been awhile since I've updated.

P.S. please comment and let me know if I should speed up the story or if you have any suggestions thanks!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha

Inuyasha's POV

This past week has been the best days of my life. I have been able to stay with Kagome the whole time! Every time I look at her I feel this tug in my chest and I can't take my eyes off her. I keep thinking about all the little traits that make her beautiful. Her skin is pale but looks super soft even with a few small scars that are unnoticeable and it is all I can do not to run my hands over that skin and test if it's as soft as it looks. And her hair.... it's so shiny and thick and it always smells like lilacs from her shampoo. I can't get enough of the smell and my sensitive nose helps me but she also has an indescribable unique scent all her own.

I long to kiss her again and feel her soft innocent lips beneath my own. I have never felt this way before. With Kikyo I always felt this calm slightly warm feeling in my stomach. I always thought she was pretty but her eyes were slightly colder and darker brown than Kagome's warm chocolate ones. When I stared into Kikyos eyes I feel like I am trying to look through murky water to see her emotions but with Kagome's I felt I could see deep into her soul and know how she felt.

But I love Kikyo she is my first love and I can't give that up just because she died. So why do I feel more for Kagome than Kikyo? I haven't even known her as long. This feeling is stronger than ever after this week. We watched movies together sat and talked for hours and had a great time. Right now we were attempting to make a cake for when Songo got home. That should be in a few hours. Now don't get me wrong I'm an ok cook but I have never baked a cake in my life.

"Oh how hard can it be? There are directions right here on how to make one from scratch. This will be simple right Inuyasha?" Kagome asks as she stares intensely at the directions in the cook book. I chuckle at the look of intense concentration on her beautiful face. She glares up at me and puts on a cute pout. I want to kiss her so much when she pouts with her bottom lip stuck out slightly.

"Well if your going to laugh at me then you do it." she says as she shoves the bowl at me. I chuckle quietly again and grab the flour.

"Ok you can finally see a master at work." I tease and look at the directions. I looks simple enough I decide. I pick up the flour and right as I am pouring it she bumps me from behind! My hand slips and flour goes everywhere! I set the flour down and slowly look down at myself. My once bright red shirt was now caked in white powder and my arms weren't much better. I stood there in shock until a brilliant plan pops up in my mind and I smirk as I turn around with my arms still up.

"Ops?" she says in a not so apologetic way. Well I will have to fix that.

"It's ok it was an accident accidents happen right?" she nods slightly with a weary look an her face. "Come here and give me a hug I know you didn't mean to mess me up." I say as a look of fake horror crosses her face and she begins to back away. My smirk grows as I advance on her. Finally her back meets the counter and there is no where to run I take my time walking towards her. When I reach her I wrap my arms around her and pull her close. I take my floury hands and run them through her hair and down her back then I lean down and nuzzle her face and neck with my face effectively rubbing off all the flour on my face.

Finally I pull back and take a look at my handy work. The front of her shirt was covered in flour like mine and her black hair now had thick white strips from the flour. Her right cheek and side of her neck had flour smudged on her delicate skin. She gasps as she looks down at herself.

"This was my favorite shirt!" she shrieks indignantly. I know she is joking since this is one of old shirts that Songo lent her.

"No it wasn't"

"Well maybe not but you are sooo not getting away with this!" she hisses as she steps slightly to the side before I know what she is doing she grabs the sprayer by the sink aims it at me and turns on the water.... ice cold!!! I gasp as the freezing water hits me right in the face. The water runs down to soak my shirt and makes the flour cling even more. She turns off the water and smirks before I tackle her.

I flip over and let her land on me to cushion her fall before I flip us over so that I am on top of her. I begin tickling her and she shrieks with laughter.

"S-stop!! I ca-can't breathe!" she gasps out between laughs I finally quit and we lay there staring at each other as she gasps for breath. When she can finally breath again I lean down and kiss her. Right when I deepen the kiss the worse thing ever happens.

"What happened to my kitchen?!" An all too familiar voice yells. Well it looks like someone got home early. I groan silently as I break the kiss and stand up. Luckily Songo didn't see us kissing. I can't let her know that I like Kagome maybe more than I liked Kikyo.

"We were going to surprise you with a cake but someone," I point at Kagome as she stands up beside me, " decided it would be funny to pour flour all over me and then spray me with water." I explain.

"Then why were you both on the floor she asks suspiciously.

"I had to get her back," I explain lamely before asking, " did you know she's extremely ticklish?"

Songo laughs as she looks at Kagome who is blushing furiously while fidgeting slightly.

"Yeah I know. She always has been!" Songo says as she laughs.

I am lost in though as her and Kagome playfully argue and tease each other. Why did I feel like this? Is this warm feeling and this tugging in my heart actually love? If so then what did I truly feel for Kikyo? I thought that was love but this feeling is deeper and stronger. What do I do now? Admit I love her or ignore these confusing feelings and hold on to my now fading love for Kikyo?

Kagome's POV

I sigh as I finally finish cleaning the kitchen. I am still remembering the kiss before Songo came home. I can still feel his lips moving strongly and firmly against mine before he deepened the kiss and I lost all train of thought. This past week I feel like we have gotten closer and I may be falling for him. But that can't happen. He can't love me... I'm broken and useless I tell myself once again. But the annoying voice in the back of my mind tells me differently. Can he really love me or is it an unrealistic dream? I feel like I am going to wake up one day and be back on the streets or worse back with my father. But that's impossible. There is no way I dreamed all of this and if I did I hope I sleep forever. I know I am already hopelessly in love and can't help but fall deeper every time I see him. How far is rock bottom and when I'm there will he love me back even if it's just a little?
