Chapter 1: It started out as a favor

Kagome's P.O.V.

I don't really remember when or how it happened. When we had first met Inuyasha and I hadn't really been the best of friends. In fact, he had even tried to kill me on multiple occasions. But some how, I found myself crushing on Inuyasha Hard.

"Hey." His deep masculine voice shook me from my thoughts.

"Oh hey pup." Inuyasha's dog ears twitched in annoyance.

"Hey quit that would ya?" I smiled as he crossed his arms across his broad chest and turned away from me. His long, silver hair flowing down his back. I took a lock of it between my fingers and tugged at it playfully.

"Inuyasha," I called in just above a whisper. His ear twitched indicating that he was listening. "If you don't stop that pouting I'm gonna say it." I said coolly. Immediately he straightened, stiffened even.

"You wouldn't." He said.

Smiling I nodded slowly, "I would." I said and with that I turned my back to him heading across the room. "Now come on before we're late meeting Sango and Miroku." I checked myself over in the mirror one more time. I'd do my make up in the car my short mini-skirt and blue tube top fit me nicely. My newly manicured fingers matched perfectly with my toes which shown neatly in my new silver stilettos. I grabbed Inuyashas hand and lead him out of my bedroom and down the stairs. I grabbed a jacket and purse and tossed the car keys to Inuyasha.

I walked into the living room where Souta and Shippo were sitting in front of the T.V. playing yet another video game. "Ok we're leaving remember no play fighting; dinners in the fridge mom should be home at 10. Call me if there's any problems ok?" I said kissing them both on their foreheads and heading out the door with Inuyasha on my heels. The thought of that had me shivering in my panties.

"Are you cold or something?" Inuyasha asked noticing my shiver.

CRAP! I was hoping he wouldn't notice!"N-no I'm fine." I said blushing Inuyasha shrugged indifferently and continued to pout "Inuyasha, did you forget our conversation already?" I asked sliding into the car.

"Remind me again why we're going on this stupid thing anyway?" he asked ignoring the challenge sprinkled in my voice as he slammed my door and proceeded to get in on the driver side.

"Because, it's Miroku and Sango's anniversary and as their friends we should be there to support them." I said. Inuyasha grunted as we pulled out of the driveway.

Most of the drive was silent. Not an uncomfortable silence, but a relaxed silence. Almost like no words needed to be said. It had always been like that with us. I liked it, because it gave me time to sort out some of my jumbled thoughts. When had these feelings of want occurred in me? I'd never felt this way about him before, so why now did it just emerge? I glanced over at the god sitting just to the left of me. His eyes fixed on the road. My gaze traced along the contours of his face, which had just recently lost its child like roundness and began to show the features of an adult. I avoided looking into his intense golden eyes and let my gaze wonder to his chest which shown amazingly through his shirt. Each of his 6 tight abs outlined individually. The biceps in his arms tightened as he increased his grip on the wheel. I gasped as the arousal built up and sent a throbbing in between my thighs.

His ears twitched at my sharp intake of breath and his head snapped into my direction "What's wrong?" he asked effortlessly continuing to drive.

"N-nothing," I said blushing, shifting my gaze down to my feet. "Ummmm I-Inuyasha, shouldn't you keep your eyes on the road?" I said keeping my eyes locked on my toes. It wasn't that I was scared of crashing it was just that I didn't want him staring at me. He smiled at me as if he knew something I didn't and turned back to the road.

Inuyasha's P.O.V.

Her scent. It told it all. The smell of her arousal was strong. Intoxicating even. I grinned to myself. Maybe tonight won't be so bad. Maybe I'll be able to do what I was too afraid to do for the past few months. Her want would fuel me to do what I always dreamed of. A pain shot to my groin as it began to rise in excitement. I calmed myself. Not yet, I thought.

We arrived at the restaurant faster than I would have hoped. Pulling quickly into a parking spot, I climbed out of the car and was at her door opening it for her before she could even unbuckle her seat belt. I held a hand out to her and helped her out. Her cute little blush had me fighting a smirk.

"I thought chivalry was dead." She mumbled half to herself. Letting the smirk that played at the corners of my mouth win, I lead her into the restaurant.

We quickly spotted the table Miroku and Sango were seated and headed to meet them.

"Hey guys." Miroku said cheerfully. Sango smiled in greeting.

I grunted in response.

"Hi Miroku! Hey Sango!" Kagome's eager voice greeted them from beside me.

I let her slide into the booth before me stealing a glance at her curves, her roundness, her beauty...

"How about you Inuyasha?" Miroku's words shook me from my thoughts.

"Huh?" I reluctantly looked away from Kagome.

"How are you?" he repeated his question.

"Oh. Um, I'm fine." I answered fighting back a blush. Did they notice me staring?Miroku and Sango shared a look. Yup they definitely saw.Miroku gave me a knowing smile. I grunted and crossed my arms. So what if I stared. Who cares? It's my business where I chose to look. Feeling Kagome's nails dig into my skin I sighed and let my arms fall to my sides. Letting my knuckles graze her thigh.

Kagome's P.O.V.

I jumped at the warmth of his knuckles grazing the flesh of my thigh sending electric throughout my body. Just that simple touch sent pleasure and arousal rocketing throughout my body. I bit my lip and let my imagination run wild. It wasn't until I felt his hand on top of mine did I realize that my nails still dug into his skin. Blushing, I gradually released my grip and gazed up at him from under my lashes. His piercing gold eyes met mine, and my blush deepened into a deep crimson red.

I quickly found myself lost in the beauty of his molten gold eyes. The beauty was so shocking that it hurt. It brought tears to my eyes at my un-deservingness. He was beautiful, and I could never measure up to him. He grabbed my hand and looked deeper into my eyes with over powering concern. Concern I didn't deserve. Blinking back tears I broke our gaze to watch Miroku and Sango stare lovingly at one another. Sango smiled dreamily at her Miroku who in turn wrapped his arms around her.

All the while, I could feel his gaze on me.
