Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or its characters, they belong respectively to Rumiko Takashi. These words however are my own.
AN: This is my very first stab at a Lemony type Fan Fiction. So be gentle, I haven't had much practice! Oh, and just to let you know, I'm a fan of both Kagome x Inuyasha AND Kikyo x Inuyasha! So please don't hate me for writing this. Enjoy!

Darkness had begun to creep silently over the land, filling each and every crevice that it had to offer as it wrapped the forest tight within its black cloak. The rain beat heavily against the ground with the echoing sounds of its loud and mournful beat.
Kagome was cold, wet and miserable. The rain that poured from the heavens pelted freely against her head, chilling her to the bone, she didn't even have an umbrella to protect her from nature's cruel wrath. They had left Keade's village early that morning in search of a jewel shard that she had sensed. Sango and Miroku along with Shippo and Kilala volunteered to stay behind to help rebuild the old woman's village after a vicious attack from a horde of demons damaged it badly. Although with the way things were going Kagome was sure they were having much better luck accomplishing anything than she was.
Kagome sighed slightly, on top of everything else Inuyasha's mood was not helping the situation any.
"Damn this stupid rain!" he grumbled loudly to himself, crossing his arms. The cold didn't bother him much, but standing in the middle of a rainstorm certainly did.
"I'm sure it will let up soon Inuyasha…" Kagome said through chattering teeth as she tried to lighten things up slightly. If she wasn't so close to becoming a human icicle she probably would have found the whole situation rather humorous. She looked at Inuyasha's wet form and then her own and couldn't help but grin. What a pair they where! Both sopping wet from head to toe.
A brilliant flash of lightening illuminated the area as a loud clap of thunder boomed overhead causing Kagome to jump, and to also re think the whole idea of searching for the jewel shard at the present moment…
"Do you sense anything Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled as he surveyed the area, not much could be seen except for rain, rain and more rain, even with his eye sight.
Kagome shook her head from side to side, causing her wet hair to flop wildly with her "No I don't…Inuyasha I think we should find a place to stay the night and then we can continue looking for the jewel shard in the morning…" , Kagome said shivering all over, as she looked at the grumpy hanyou in front of her.
Inuyasha sighed angrily and turned on his foot to face her, but once his amber eyes met her pleading ones his expression softened slightly. "Fine…" he huffed crossing his arms. "We better get a move on before the night wears on any longer then…" he said crouching down low so Kagome could climb onto his back.
As Kagome quickly climbed on, Inuyasha could feel her wet body grind against him and couldn't help but shiver. His loins around his private area tightened slightly as she adjusted herself more comfortably on his back--he shivered again--the sensation of her wet body clopped onto his was almost too much for the poor half breed to handle! But with a small grunt, Inuyasha managed to snap himself out of the trance he was in and in one great stride of his powerful legs they were off.
Finding shelter proved to be more of a difficult task then Inuyasha had thought, and just when he was just about to give up hope lady luck smiled down on him and he found a medium sized cave just right for the traveling pair. Large bushes and shrubs covered the mouth of the cave creating a crude barrier from the safety of the shelter inside and the raging elements outside.
Hastily making his way in, he set Kagome's frail body down and rummaged through her bag as he searched for a shred of dry clothing. He looked without prevail until his hand touched a single--slightly damp--furry blanket, it wasn't much but it was better than nothing.
Turning in triumph to Kagome, Inuyasha was suddenly caught off guard by her beauty as she looked around the cave. Though her hair was in a wild tangle and she was completely drenched…she looked natural. He found his eyes lingering over her form and then to her breasts, as they clung tightly to her top. He could feel his face become hot, his eyes roaming once more before he forced himself to look away muttering slightly. Despite his embarrassment he had taken pleasure in this small act, and he clutched the blanket a bit tighter as he turned to her again. "Here…" he said to Kagome, pushing the blanket into her hands "Get yourself out of those wet clothes and wrap up in this"
Kagome blinked a few times before nodding slowly as she took the blanket, she then looked at Inuyasha expectantly "What?" he asked confused before realizing that Kagome would probably like a little privacy "Oh…" he blushed a bit brighter as he turned around quickly, arms crossed.
In a few moments Kagome was almost completely undressed, she had decided to leave her undergarments on but the rest of her clothes were now draped across a large pile of rocks, water dripped steadily from them creating a small pool of water on the cave's floor.
In that short time however Inuyasha had went to the mouth of the cave and collected a meager bundle of sticks that had blown in, they weren't wet from the rain which led Inuyasha to believe they had been swept in before the storm had hit. Not wanting to curse his good fortune he quickly went back to where Kagome was standing, noticing that she was now wrapped up tight in her red blanket and her clothes were laid beside her to dry.
Seeing the sticks Inuyasha had collected Kagome searched through her bag a moment before holding up a box of oddly shaped fire sticks that she called "matches" that were safe inside an air tight container. Quickly, she handed Inuyasha the matches and with a little bit of coaxing and a few dried leaves added the pair soon had a steady fire going.
Inuyasha sat down in front of the bright ball of light and Kagome mimicked him by sitting down by his side, accidentally brushing his arm as she did. It was only then that she noticed how cold Inuyasha really was, she had been so wrapped up within her own thoughts about her freezing body that she had actually forgotten about his!
Turning her head to the side she looked up at him as the light from the orange flames danced brightly on her cheek "Inuyasha…you must be freezing!" she exclaimed as a few tiny beads of water dripped from the ends of his silver hair.
Inuyasha scoffed "Don't be a fool Kagome, we demons don't get as cold as you mortals do. I may only be half demon but I'm a lot stronger than you think" he said with a rather defiant tone as he kept his gaze on the fire, ignoring her. Kagome continued to look at him stubbornly as she shook her head slightly "I know that…honestly I do but come on even you have to be at least a little bit cold! Maybe if I give you my blanket then you won't--"
Inuyasha silenced her with a hard look and a loud "Keh!" as she began to unwrap herself from her tight blanket cocoon "Don't you dare! I will not be responsible for having you die from the cold due to your own stupidity! We still have Jewel Shards to collect don't forget, and I need those to become a full demon remember!?" he said rather harshly and then winced at the hefty "sits" he would get from that last line.
But no "sits" came instead Kagome regarded him with large brown eyes "You still really want to become a full demon don't you?". Her eyes softened further but before he could respond she continued "I told you once before your strong enough now as it is and besides…I like you just the way you are…as a half demon…"
Kagome had said those words so sweetly--so innocently that Inuyasha couldn't help but believe her. The feeling of believing her, to accept her words, made his heart feel oddly content. Then before she could say another word he caught her chin in his hand and lifted her ruby red lips to meet his and kissed her gently.
As they both pulled away a moment later he looked deep into her liquid brown eyes with his own amber ones and sighed "Fine…" he said with a smile "I'll stay a hanyou a little bit longer…just for you…".
