I do not own Inuyasha
It was the night of the new moon. Inuyasha and Kagome had chosen a spot to sleep for the night. Miroku and Sango got married and are now living happily. Shippo is off studying to become a great fox demon.
Kagome laid out some blankets for herself. She was going to sleep against the tree Inuyasha decided to use as his sleeping spot. Inuyasha choose a strong branch to sleep against. It was pretty low to the ground, because even in his human form, he still wanted to keep a watch over Kagome.
Inuyasha had gotten used to being a human on new moon nights. He slowly developed strong muscles, almost as strong as his half demon form. He was now trying to strengthen his hearing, which wasn't too great, but better than any normal human's ears.
Kagome settled down against the tree's base, knowing he was going to watch over her. She tossed the blanket over herself and started to fall asleep. Her breathing slowing down, into a steady rhythm.
Unselfconsciously, he had turned his head, so that he would be watching her sleep. It was a little stalkishly of him, but what could he do. The woman had grown on him…a lot.
Being the little stalker he was, he didn't fail to notice the huge temperature drop coming. Knowing that that it wasn't going to affect him.
Kagome had been turning in her sleep, probably from nightmares of huge text books trying to eat her. Kagome always fretted about how she was going to fail her test if she didn't study. With this, the blanket had successfully fallen off of her.
Felling the temperature slowly dropped, she started to shiver.
This didn't go unnoticed by Inuyasha.
He started thinking of how to go about this.
'Well, I could just leave her…but I would never do, especially to Kagome. *sigh* I probably have to go down there.'
But something caught his attention before he could do anything. He could definitely smell them; his ears slowly catching the sound of the pounding of the ground.
Demons…
He knew that they were coming straight towards them. They were probably drawn to Kagome's spiritual powers.
He quickly jumped down to where Kagome still laying sleeping, shivering. He had built up leg muscles, which took forever, and lots of yelling from Kagome.
He could sense the demons coming. There were about 4 of them, though then weren't too big. But he wasn't going to take the chance of Kagome getting hurt.
He quickly picked up Kagome, in a bridal style, leaving the blanket and her bag that she carried everywhere. He quickly jumped up into the tree, thankful that he chose a low branch to sleep in. It was quite a feat to jump that high, carrying a person no less. Inuyasha was defiantly thankful for the harsh training he went through.
He sat down, gently placing Kagome in his lap. He quickly took off his coat of the fire rat and place it around her. She was still shivering, so he had to keep her warm.
Suddenly, 4 dog looking demons came rushing through the woods. They were defiantly pissed off at something. They viciously started stiffing, trying to pick up, what Inuyasha thinks, Kagome's scent. The demons started messing with her bag, spilling out the components.
"Oh, Kagome is going to be mad at that…" Inuyasha whispered to himself, with a worried look.
The demons soon found where Kagome and Inuyasha was hiding. They started scratch at the truck of the tree, trying to climb up. Thankfully, they weren't able to climb.
'Thank goodness'
Inuyasha decided to ignore them. They would eventually give up at go away, he hoped. Changing his attention back to Kagome, he noticed that she was still shivering.
"This isn't good. She can get hyperthermia!" Settling into a more comfortable position, he started to feel the temperature starting to drop quickly.
'I should have just found a cave to sleep in…'
Kagome was still asleep, to his amazement.
'She must have been really tired to sleep through this.'
Her shaking started to quicken.
'Oh no! What am I so post to do! I can't let her die. I won't be able to live through it! I guess I have to…'
Inuyasha quickly blushed at the thought he just had.
'I'll just tell her it was the only way to keep her sorry butt alive. Ya, that'll work…'
He took his arms and with a blushing face, he started hugging her. His body heat would keep her warm. Even if it was a little embarrassing for him.
First thing she noticed was that she wasn't shivering…as much. While he was thinking of another way to keep her warm, the demons gave up on their search. They started running back into the woods. Inuyasha didn't notice this though. He was too busy thinking of Kagome.
'Damn, what am I so post to do now. It's not I want her to wake up…'
Deciding that it was to save her, he quickly wrapped his legs around her. This was defiantly one of the most inappropriate positions he was in, especially since he was in a tree, but he defiantly didn't mind it though. His face was lit bright red, thinking of how embarrassed he would be when she woke up.
Her shivering had stopped, which Inuyasha was thankful for. But…now he was stuck…
'Now what…'
Kagome was wrapped in a little cocoon in his arms…and legs. A few minutes when by…
'Oh, what the heck.'
He placed his head in her hair. It was so soft and full of her scent. He really enjoyed her scent. He wanted to smell it every day (like a little stalker would XD).
Kagome juddered at the sudden touch of someone, but she remained sleeping. She was really worn out.
Kagome and Inuyasha were sitting there, in a tree branch, cuddled up, on a new moon, with Inuyasha's head buried in her hair.
