* Different person * ~Intro~

"Mom, I'm off."

"Have you got all of your books?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Have fun." Kagome closed the door behind her. Puddles started to grow on the ground. The songbirds began to fly away as the rain fell harder and harder. Kagome dashed toward the well. She managed not to get too wet.

"I can't wait to see Inu-Yasha. I wonder if he feels the same." Kagome climbed into the well, smiling.

~Chapter 1: Realization~

Kagome climbed up the wall of the Bone-Eater's well. She threw her heavy yellow backpack over the wall. "I wish I didn't have to take the exams. Oh Well. That's life for you," Kagome said with a sigh. Kagome climb over the wall one leg at a time. Kagome stretched.

*"Damn it! Come on guys. We don't have all day," Inu-Yasha said as he looked back toward Sango and Miroku, "I want to see Kagome before dark." Inu-Yasha sniffed the air. "She is near the well. I'll meet you there, okay?" Inu-Yasha leapt ahead of them. "He is always so arrogant," Sango said catching her breathe. Miroku nodded. Kirara followed them not too far behind.

*Kagome heard the sound of snapping twigs and looked around in alarm. She knew it was Inu-Yasha. She saw him the edge of the trees. He just stared at Kagome. His eyes become slightly watery. He wore his usual robes. His white hair shined in the sunlight. His red robes had been ripped on his arms and legs. 'Kagome.what is happening to me? Why do I feel this way for Kagome? Is it because of Kikyo? Or am I truly in love with her?' 'Inu-Yasha.'

Kagome ran toward Inu-yasha, leaving her bag by the well. Kagome's hair flew everywhere when she ran toward Inu-Yasha. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Inu-Yasha, I've missed you. I want to see you so much over this past week," Kagome whispered as she hugged him. He was surprised that Kagome ran to give him a hug. Inu-Yasha hugged her back. "I've missed you, too," Inu-Yasha said rubbing Kagome's hair. Kagome leaned back, slightly. Kagome smiled at Inu-Yasha. He returned the smile. He grabbed her chin and made his lips meet her. Kagome found it hard to resist his kiss. She found herself grabbing his robes, pulling him closer, and deepening the kiss.

When they pulled away from each other, they were up against a tree trunk. Kagome looked around and saw Sango and Miroku looking at them. Sango had a huge grin on her face. Miroku just smirked. "You guys too, eh?" Miroku said as he looked up. Kagome wrapped her arms around Inu-Yasha's neck and grinned.
