Chapter one
Good Times, Bad Times
It had been just about the hottest day the gang had ever experienced. Everyone panted harder and harder with each passing moment. Suddenly as if in answer to their prayers, they came to a lake.
Kagome, who was the first to notice it, suddenly ran ahead, leaving her confused companions behind.
Not again thought Inu Yasha to himself whenever she sees something she wants she always runs off! She is soooo annoying. These thoughts ran through his head everyday, but deep in his heart he knew they weren't what he really thought of Kagome and never would be. In truth he admired her constant enthusiasm and knew that he couldn't possibly live without her. Maybe one day he would tell her how he felt....pshh yeah right maybe in her dreams he thought to himself.
By now everyone else had reached what had made Kagome so excited. In fact it had made them leap for joy as well. Nothing ever seems to phase her does it? Thought Inu Yasha, who was still absorbed in his thoughts. He found himself beginning to stare at her and quickly looked away, his heart began to race and he could feel his face turning the color of his jacket. Trying to look as normal as possible he dipped his feet in the lake as did everyone else. Damn Kagome he thought only she makes me do this. Only she makes my heart race and my face flush, not even Kikyo did that to me. He paused for a minute, Kikyo, he had used to think he would never be able to forget about her, but now it seemed he could barely remember her at all. Ever since he had met Kagome, memories of Kikyo had begun to disappear one by one. Maybe one day the whole Kikyo ordeal would become a distant dream as though it had never been real.
"Inu Yasha?" said a voice that snapped Inu Yasha back to reality. He turned to look at the speaker and realized it was kagome. "Are you ok?" she asked, a genuine look of concern appeared on her face. She had obviously seen Inu Yasha's recognizable look of deep thought. He suddenly felt a light feeling of anger rise within him, he used to be so good at disguising his emotions but Kagome could always seem to tell what he was thinking.
"feh" He said to her, "of course I'm ok"
"oh," said Kagome, she paused for a moment, an unreadable look on her face, slowly, it turned into a slight smirk, "I was just wondering if you were hot?"
"huh?" said Inu Yasha, confused, why would she care about that.
"I was just wondering, because if you are, I could help you cool down," she said sincerely.
"how could you do that?" he asked her.
"by doing this" she replied shoving Inu Yasha backwards into the water.
He came up to the surface sputtering and coughing and he glared icily at the laughing miko in front of him, "what was that for?!?" he asked, half shouting.
"well, would you rather have me say sit?" she asked as the hanyou suddenly lurched underwater again. Oops she thought to herself now I'm in trouble. "sorry Inu Yasha I didn't mean it." She said as he surfaced again, coughing and sputtering more than before. She couldn't keep a straight face anymore, just watching him struggling soaked from head to toe made her want to laugh outload, and it didn't help that he had steam practically blowing out of is ears in annoyance. She bursted out laughing, practically falling to the gorund as Inu Yasha trudged out of the water.
Inu Yasha didn't know why he was able to keep himself from attacking her. But seeing Kagome smile could only make Inu Yasha want to smile. He knew she didn't mean any harm but he couldn't let it show, after all, he had worked too hard on disguising his emotions to throw it all away. "grrrrrrrr" he fumed, trying to sound convincingly angry, which only made Kagome laugh more. He couldn't take it anymore, he lunged toward her and scooped her up. With one jump, they sailed into the air, Kagome half giggling and half screaming. She clung to him until suddenly he let her drop and landed safely on the shore. Watching happily as she fell, hair blowing around her face and headed straight for the water, then giggling uncontrollably when she surfaced. It made him smile to see he had made her laugh. She slowly walked onto the shore, dripping from head to toe. She was about to speak when suddenly an unfamiliar voice cut her off.
"so....Inu Yasha, we meet once again...." The deep voice rang out as a dark figure loomed in the shadows.
