Thoughts in italic

"Please Inuyasha!!! We can search for more shards tomorrow.we won't find them in the dark walking around like blind idiots!" Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's face filled with determination for them to make camp. "I said no wench can't you understand we need to find them now?!" "DON'T CALL ME, WENCH! OSWARI!" Almost instantly Inu-yasha got a fine taste of this particular area's dirt. Finally getting back on his feet he glared at her before noticing the watering eyes that were on the brink of spilling staring angrily at him…."Hey, no crying!!!" Kagome's tears slowly disappeared.  Maybe I should…she does look kinda tired. He looked around at the others, Miroku seemed to be dragging his feet as well as Sango…heck even the damn kid looks like he had a run in with Nakuru…… sighing dejectedly he walked to the side of the trail, far enough to avoid unwanted company but not enough to get lost.

"Thank you Inu-yasha!!!!" After calling out, Kagome became busy helping set up camp.

 As usually he bounded into a tree to guard them from the typical invasion of demons looking for HIS shards….feh if protecting them was up to her we'd be dead long ago…He told him things like that more and more often to protect himself from the truth…he now thought of any thought of kagome as "her". He no longer called her a wench in his mind but he could not call her by her name either, this was for the best we'll be better off this way……There is too much I risk to consider it…I won't let you get hurt because of me. Closing his eyes he allowed himself to sink into confusing thoughts that involved a girl with dark hair.

He leaped out of the tree allowing his coat to flap in the wind; landing quietly he walked around the dark. The fire went out about an hour ago and the camp surrounded in silence. After assuring himself that everyone was asleep he silently approached the girl that invaded his thoughts tonight. Crouching down beside her, he silently watched her breath…He loved the night because it was the only time he could look at her like this. He silently reached his hand out, gently pushing a strand of hair out of the way, gently caressing her cheek with his finger. Taking great pains not to wake her or scratch her he sighed deeply and stood back up and backed silently away to his tree for the night.          Leaping back into one of the lower branches he laid his back to the trunk of the tree "Wench you are an enigma…."he whispered silently. Tilting his head upwards he looked at the night sky, and watched the moon as he fell into dreams.                As he slipped into his sleep he did not notice the pair of curious young demon eyes watching him through the darkness as he drifted away, the eyes in question lay curled up next to Kagome startled from sleep just in time to witness his act. One he was sure was not just a dream this time.

Down in the camp, where she slept, Kagome snuggled deeper into her sleeping bag bringing her hand to rest by her cheek feeling the dimming warmth there….Inu-yasha and then she smiled.
