After powering up her computer Kagome Higurashi, with her raven hair pulled back, slid on her glasses, preparing for a long study session. She had missed a week and desperately needed to make an A in the class to reach her goal of a 4.0 GPA, a goal that seemed more out of reach every time Inuyasha called on her to help him capture the Jewel shards. Before she knew it Kagome found herself losing focus on the words swimming before her. I should take a break.

Closing her laptop the petite girl, of Japanese descent, made her way to the bathroom. Turning on the water to an almost scalding temperature she began washing off her make up. The tub was soon filled and she quickly removed her clothes and untied her hair before slipping into the silky water. After staying in the water long enough to prune, Kagome wrapped herself up in her favorite fluffy towel. Making her way to her dresser she noticed the window was open from the slight breeze being emitted from it. She was on the second floor so she made sure the curtains were secure but didn't bother to lock the window. After grabbing a white tank top, and a cute pair of her favorite red underwear, she wrapped her hair up in her towel and got back to work. It was well after one when Kagome decided that she couldn't read another word lest her brain explode. She shut the computer down, and quickly straightened up her room. After just mere moments of being under the covers she couldn't stand it anymore. She didn't know what was causing her distress. Did I forget something? She thought to herself. Walking over to the window ledge she opened the curtains and opened the window panes. She was prepared to let out a shriek, but Inuyasha quickly put his hand over her mouth silencing her scream. After calming down a bit Inuyasha let go of Kagome.

"I hate it when you do that." She seethed through clenched teeth, fully aware that her parents and brother were just down the hall undoubtedly asleep at this late hour.

"Calm down wench. Your family isn't going to wake up as long as you don't scream your head off."

"I'm going to bed." She glared at him, "So leave." After making a shooing gesture, which she knows he hates, Kagome made her way to the bed, "And close the window on your way out. Please and thank you."

Inuyasha stood with his mouth open, "You can't tell me what to do wench." He whispered, quite loudly.

Kagome just replied by pulling the covers up to her chin. An annoyed Inuyasha wasn't about to let her just ignore him like that. Grabbing the end of her mint green covers he quickly yanked and went to cover her mouth again. She sat up in shock after a blast of frigid air hit her body. "He-" Inuyasha stopped her from exposing them to the wrath of her parents.

She sat there fuming and that's when she noticed the the intense stare of Inuyasha, granted he was doing his best to go unnoticed.

Unaware of what was going on she did the only thing the somewhat clumsy girl was good at: making an awkward situation even more so. She fell off the bed. None too gracefully. Somehow managing to fall backwards and hit her elbow in the process.

"Ow." She whimpered, nursing her elbow with her opposite arm's hand.

"Good going wench." Kagome only lowered her head in embarrassment. Realizing that he hurt her feelings Inuyasha mumbled a quick apology and rose to pick her up. As he did so her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, she snuggled in close not knowing what she was doing but not wanting to let go. She smells like cherry blossoms. He noted, to himself. He laid her down slowly and gently, knowing by know the pain was ceasing but not wanting to stop this moment of- well, he wasn't sure yet. He realized that he was still on top of her, on his arms and knees looking down at her flushed form he also realized that although she was often quite feisty she was quite beautiful.

"Let me remove this for you." He said, before removing the towel from her now damp hair, "Do you feel better?"

"Yeah." She whispered, not wanting to break the silence but the space between them. Leaning forward Kagome did something that she had been secretly wanting to do the moment she'd laid eyes on the silver haired god, she kissed him. Stunned he sat there, lips unmoving until something inside him clicked and he kissed her back. It was a deep passionate kiss and when they were finished they were both stunned into silence. Giving her a quick kiss, and jumping out of the window before Kagome had time to protest, Inuyasha left with one thing on his mind: When will I get another?
