She tasted just like that candy she'd given him; he'd caught her just as she'd finished a bite she'd kept for herself. Her lips were soft and sweet on their own, that delicate brush of the tip of his tongue tracing the crease between them told him that. Her gasp of startlement parted those lips for him and he knew he had only this chance to deepen it and so he did just that.

The warmth of that kiss lingered as he darted out of the hanyou's striking range and Kouga smirked at the dazed expression on his Kagome's face.
