Disclaimer: The characters of this fanfiction do not belong to the author, me, but to their rightful owners. If I did own them though, this couple would be a real one, and not just in a fanfiction.

Summary: As those eyes looked at her she melted. Those golden eyes that could be so dark and cold would look at her with looks that he tried to hide. Fortunately, she could see them. Those tender loving looks that he would direct at her, and only her, made her feel loved. She would smile back, showing him that he, and only he owned her heart, and she in return was the only one who owned his.

Notes: Konnichiwa! This is my first fanfic that I really wanted to write, so I'm hoping for some help, or nice reviews. The pairing is my favorite one so far, and I'm really hoping for some good reviews! It will be sad at one point, but never fear, it will brighten up, I promise on my honor as an author of unpublished fanfiction.

Story:

"Trust me, I know how it feels.
I know exactly how it feels to cry in the shower so no one can hear you,
waiting for everyone to be asleep so you can fall apart,
for everything to hurt so bad you just want it all to end.
I know exactly how it feels."

It was just another boring old day for the small shard hunting group. The young miko of the group was bored beyond measure. True there was an occasional youkai, and the group would feel the adrenaline pumping, but the demon would barely last five minutes. 'Same old routine,' she thought to herself. It was always wake up, eat the occasional fish, and search for shards, fight demons, go to sleep.

Suddenly an excited, "Kagome!" brought her out of her thoughts. Inuyasha's hand instinctively flew to the handle of Tetsusaiga.

"The damn ookam-"

"Hello Kagome! How's my woman been doin'?" Kagome was speechless for a second; it was enough time for Koga to mistake her silence for something entirely different.

"Oi, dog turd, you better of have been taking care of my woman!"

"Why do you care, ya' mangy wolf? She ain't your woman!"

"Ha of course she is you stupid half-breed!"

Immune to their endless bickering, the rest of the group stayed silent, they simply looked on. "Sango, would you mind knocking one of them out?" The blue robed monk commented after waiting patiently for nearly a half hour.

"No need to worry, Kagome's on it," came Sango's dry reply.

"Wonder how long it'll take this time," Shippo murmured. Kirara mewed a reply.

"Move that hand any closer monk and you won't need to worry about the Kazaana anymore."

"Why whatever do you mean dear Sango?" Miroku replied with a perfect 'I didn't do anything wrong.' look. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Idiot, he'll never learn."

A loud, "Kaze no Kizu!" brought them out of their little 'chat.' They watched as the ookami prince neatly ducked out of the way, instead they heard a loud wail pierce the air, like a thousand copper pots scraping against each other. A shiver found its way up Shippo's back," Wha-what was th-that?" he asked, obviously terrified. "It sounded like an animal in pain; it must have gotten in the way of the attack," came Miroku's reply.

"Inuyasha! You cruel masochistic, egotistic jerk! Sit, sit, sit, and sit sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, and sit, SIT!" Kagome snarled, appalled at the creature's ongoing wails.

"Ha! Stupid mutt got what he deserve-Kagome?"

"Koga I think you should go now, I really can't take much more of this," Kagome pleaded in a sugar sweet voice. She was fed up with their fighting, especially since a poor thing got caught in Inuyasha's attack. Koga hadn't caught the hint and went on," See, she can't take anymore of your shit!"

"Koga-kun, please go!" she pleaded.

"Okay Kagome," he replied dejectedly, and then suddenly, "take care of my woman ya mutt!"

"She ain't your woman wolf," a muted reply came from a puddle that was previously Inuyasha's head.

Kagome left as InuYasha struggled to get up. "Sango do you mind if I borrow Kirara for a sec?" She asked with a blinding smile.

"Err, no," came her uncertain reply.

"Thanks come on Kirara!" she said in a thankful tone.

With Kagome

Kagome sighed as she looked down at the destruction Inuyasha had caused. Technically it was the sword's fault, what with its power and attack. But it wouldn't have happened if Inuyasha hadn't been such a jealous, hypocritical, idiot. She gasped as she remembered the thing that was struck by the Kaze no Kizu. Even if it was dead, she should at least check to make sure it wasn't alive and suffering.

The sight that met her eyes wasn't very pretty. The ground was torn up, and lying at the edge of the claw that had cut the land, was a beautiful silver fox, or at least it would have been if not for the slash that nearly ripped it in half. Kagome blanched at the sight of the red bloody guts that had spilt from the rip in its stomach. She approached the poor thing, fully prepared for it to be dead, only to be shocked when whimpered pitifully. The fox was fatally wounded, but she could faintly see the rise and fall of its chest.

Filled with hope, she gently put the guts back in it, nearly retching at the feel of its organs slipping in her hands. Then, using her handy dandy first aid kit, she stitched up its wound. Sighing in relief when the hard thing was over, she picked up he little fox in her arms and climbed up Kirara who had been patiently waiting for her. They flew to a little cave that Kagome had never been to before, but she had to make sure the stitches had stayed in place. With a soft," See ya Kirara," she entered the cave. It was dark, and probably had spiders. She wasn't squeamish about many things, but after her past experiences with spiders, she preferred staying clear of them.

Setting down to work, she noticed she hadn't brought in any wood. "Darn it, great just forget to bring in wood Kagome. Nice job idiot." she shouted, angry at herself. Putting idiocy aside, she clambered out to collect wood. She came back in to meet the sight of the fox awake at last. She was surprised to see it had golden eyes, like Inuyasha's, but a deeper shade that looked slightly cold and guarded, as if he didn't trust people. Then she noticed the long tails lying on the ground. 'Wait, tails?' she wondered, when a sudden whimper brought her out of her reverie. The cute little fox had tried to move and had accidently put itself in an awkward position. Kagome scrambled over, worried that it had also ripped its stitches, only to be warned off by a low growl. She huffed; after all she was only trying to help!

"Listen here you, I'm only trying to help, so let m help!" she shouted annoyed at its continued attempts to stop her from helping. Instead of backing down and letting her help him, it snapped at her. "Why that little!" She huffed again and turned her back to him. Turning around abruptly as it whimpered in pain. Sighing, she kneeled down by its side, she murmured softly to him, though how she knew it was a male was a question she had to figure out, "I only want to help you, okay? I promise I won't hurt you, so please, let me help." It calmed down, after hearing her voice, and stayed still as she bathed and redressed its wounds. Finally declaring herself finished, she prepared some ramen for herself, and some chopped up rabbit that Inuyasha had caught a night ago that she had put in a water proof plastic bag, for the fox.

Realizing she didn't' even know it's name, and then blushing because it probably didn't have a name, and then blushing even more remembering that it was a demon, she asked, " Ano… do you have a name?" The fox merely glanced at her as if saying, 'Obviously.' She blushed even more and watched as it dragged a single razor sharp claw through the dirt, carefully writing his name in the dirt. When he had finally finished, she stood next to him and looked down. 'Yo…ko…Yoko!'

"Konnichiwa Yoko-kun! Watashi Kagome!" she said happily. Yoko merely glanced at her and then turned away. Slightly put down, she made herself a cup of ramen and then stared at the flickering flames of the fire she had brought up. Softly she recited a poem she had memorized:

I'm sorry for all the things that I've done

And even more for my wrongs

Watch out as the sky begins to lighten

I'm about to fall apart

Watch out my dear

Even after thousands of years I recognize you

By the eyes that held mine so gently

Caressing my soul

And embracing my heart

Even through all the stars in the sky

I can easily pick out your light

Shinning above and guiding

My way towards you

Yoko had stared at her intently. He was curious about her little poem. The fox thief had never heard it before, and that was unacceptable, seeing how beautiful it sounded. As she turned her face away from the fire and towards him, he glanced away; he was unwilling to let the ningen girl think she had so easily aroused his curiosity.

As the sun rose Kagome groaned, Yoko's stitches kept ripping open for some odd reason, so finally near midnight, she had decided on letting him sleep with her in the sleeping bag she had brought. Oddly enough after that his stitches were fine, and she was finally able to sleep. All night she was warm, even after the fire smoldered down to nothing, because of a certain little fox sleeping on her stomach.

She tried to sit up, and was pulled back down onto something hard and warm. Instantly her mind cleared up, she looked down; two very well built arms had encircled her waist, and had slowly tightened. She blushed and tried to wriggle out of Yoko's embrace. He had turned back during the night and had absolutely refused to let her go. So she went to sleep. She kept wriggling, until suddenly feeling a single fang poking into her neck in a silent warning made her stop. Unconsciously feeling the little ningen relax into his hold, he lapped at her neck. Turning beet red, Kagome buried her head in her sleeping bag, slowly falling asleep to the gentle laps of Yoko's tongue.

So, what do you think? I know it needs work, and if I get about at least ten positive reviews I'll continue to update. Or if I'm super bored. I really want people to read this story, but I'm not much of a good author, so yeah.
