Title: Why can't I

Kagome flopped down on the bench laughing heartily at her companion. Sesshoumaru scowled and flopped down next to her wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Ha I beat you!" Cried Kagome smiling happily at the fuming man next to her.

"Humph. I let you win."

"Did not! Sore loser." Pouted Kagome.

Sesshoumaru grinned and ruffled Kagome's hair. "Come on, we still have to work our way back home." Kagome groaned as Sesshoumaru tugged on her hand pulling her back up to a standing position.

Get a load of me,
Get a load of you,
Walking down the street
And I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be

Kagome smiled and walked side by side next to Sesshoumaru. Really they hardly knew each other. They'd met only through Inuyasha. Still something about him intrigued her.

Holding hands with you,
When we're out at night,
Got a girlfriend
You say it isn't right,
And I've got someone waiting too.

The sun was slowly beginning to set, but Kagome wasn't ready to go home yet. It wasn't fair. If she had met Sesshoumaru first, or if he had met her before finding his own girl would they have hooked up? Was it worth worrying about right now? Grinning Kagome stopped walking causing Sesshoumaru to pause in his own stride. He raised an eyebrow at the mysterious girl in front of him. He never expected her to push him. Push him into the lake that is.

The problem is, this is just the beginning
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming

Kagome laughed at the soaked man in front of her his long hair plastered to his head in a very undignified manner.

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Its inevitable... it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me...
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Sesshoumaru grinned and splashed water at Kagome making her squeal as her own clothes became drenched with water too.

Isn't this the best part of breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too

Kagome's laughter slowly subsided as she held other hand for Sesshoumaru. He placed his hand in hers and stood back up. Why was it he had more fun with her than his own girlfriend?

It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful?

Kagome smiled and turned back to the path they were taking. He eyes slowly lowered with sadness. They should go, but….did they have to? Sesshoumaru silently walked up behind her placing a hand on her shoulder and turning her back to face him. For a moment their eyes met. Both understood what the other was thinking, what the other was feeling. Sesshoumaru leaned in and place a soft kiss on her lips.

Here we go we are at the beginning
we haven't fucked yet, but my head's spinning

Neither noticed they were both shivering with cold, or anticipation. Neither noticed as the other people walked by and giggled, nor even that the birds had suddenly stopped their insistent chirping. All they knew was each other.Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Slowly Sesshoumaru broke off the kiss. His body burned and he found it harder to remove his hand from the side of her cheek than he had expected. Kagome for her part was doing her best to stay standing as how suddenly her knees had gone weak.

I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Something's growin'
For this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'

Kagome smiled gently and placed her hand over the one on her face and intertwined her fingers with his. Slowly she pulled his hand down and turned back to the path beginning to walk, dragging Sesshoumaru behind her. No words needed to be said.

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever talk about you

Sesshoumaru slowly fell in pace beside Kagome, his hand never removed from her own.

They didn't know what they would do, or what the future held, but they'd do it together.

whenever I think about you

Side by side.

whenever I think about you

Holding hands and working at it.

whenever I think about you

It wouldn't be easy.

whenever I think about you

But it'd be worth it.

That's all folks. So how was it? Please review!
