She felt a breeze and opened her eyes but nothing was there. He had disappeared. Her face fell.
InuYasha watched from a tree above her. He did feel bad but not enough to not go through with his plan.
He watched over her as she walked back to the camp, making sure she made it safely.
He watched as Miroku and Sango drilled her with questions, and as she answered as best she could while preoccupied. He swung up to his favorite tree. And planned for the next day.
'Another day, another opportunity.' He thought, and laughed as he drifted to sleep… if sleep could be defined by periods between activity. He never really went to full sleep mode, only nodding off now and then. The only time he really slept soundly was in Kagome's time. But I digress.
Kagome was laying in her sleeping bag, staring at the lump of shadow perched on a tree branch, not far from camp. She gazed at him, puzzled by his actions, and infuriated by the fact that she would feel bad for "sitting" him. Why, you ask? Because, if he were trying to tell her something, and she sat him, he might feel rejected and brokenhearted and Kagome did not want that. So she wondered and puzzled and thought and assumed, and it got her nowhere. She finally, much contemplation, drifted off to sleep and dreamt of a world without Kikyou.
The next morning, InuYasha and Kagome were silent, and their friends were a little worried but said nothing. The group wallowed the day away, deciding to take a few days off from shard-hunting, much to InuYasa's mock displeasure.
At noon, InuYasha once again asked Kagome to walk with him, and she complied.
Sun rays shined through the trees, there was a light breeze and the leaves rustled. Birds could be heard chirping through the tightly packed forest and the effect was calming. Their ambulation ceased and InuYasha and Kagome faced each other. His eyes became hungry as he backed her into a tree. He ran his hands down her sides, and she moaned, closing her eyes. He placed his head to her chest, listening to her heart speed up. He grinned and turned around. She opened her eyes; watched him walk off. Her face was flushed, her pulse still not slowing.
He walked at a normal pace, like nothing had just happened. The only evidence would be the fire in his eyes and the smirk on his face.
By the time that Kagome had recovered, InuYasha was far away. Almost all the way back to camp. So she ran as fast as she could. He broke off into a run too. It was like a race. Whoever could get to the camp first would be questioned first, and would get to tell their version of a lie.
Guess who won? InuYasha of course. So he merely brushed it off as a private conversation concerning a visit to Kagome's time. Kagome, getting back just in time to hear the lie, was pleased that now she had an excuse to go back home. InuYasha mentally hit himself for giving her that opening.
InuYasha decided that one more punishment was needed. And he would administer it when Kagome decided to go home.
