Summary: He doesn't think he deserves love until he meets her.
Warnings: fluff
He never fathomed it, never even bothered thinking he deserved the love that others around him had. The truth was often upsetting and left him grumpy for days, and he stayed away from human villages to avoid the sick feeling of seeing their love and devotion when he could not have it.
What woman would ever love him, a hanyou, that neither human nor youkai accepted?
Even the one woman who did had wanted to change him. He shouldn’t have bothered thinking they could have had a chance at happiness. His hopes almost died when their fragile trust had shattered, and Kikyou had sealed him to a tree.
Then Kagome came along, and perhaps, he thought, his hope had renewed when she told him she’d stay by his side and would accept him the way he was.
Right away, he was cautious. He didn’t want to give into false hopes and exercise the desires in his mind to have her, possess her, and keep her from the eyes of other males.
Maybe he didn’t deserve her, but in her eyes, he saw something that maybe she thought she couldn’t have him. She was weird, out of place, and not of this time. Sometimes he thought they were similar, both outcasts bonded together within a perilous and uncertain world.
Inuyasha soon learned that no matter where they were, as long as Kagome was with him, he felt like he belonged – that he had a chance to live the life of happy humans and find solace within the arms of someone who accepted him.
He watched her sleep every night, and sometimes he caught his name from her lips, and the knowledge revived his silent desires. She had changed him; there was no question about that.
With Kagome, Inuyasha knew he did not covet her in vain, and this time, she showed him that someone else was capable of wanting him back – for who he truly was.
