Smoldering

Kagomes eyes opened slowly as her pounding headache began to cease and consciouness came back to her. She looked arond and spotted Sango and Miroku leaning against a wall sleeping. Mirokus lecherous hand was unknowingly shaking its way to Sango's rear end as she leaned on his shoulder. As it made contact Sango growled and Mirokus face pinched in knowing fear and his hand moved away rather quickly.

Keada slept on her pallet on the other side and Kilala and Shippo curled up together by the fire. The only person Kagome didnt see was Inuyasha. She silently yet slowly crawled out of her sleeping bag and reslipped on her shoes then walked outside. The sun had just recently set, as to why the others were asleep. She stretched and took in a deep breath of the cool night air then shiverd. Winter was coming fast and yet she still wore her school uniform over here.

Inuyasha always teased her about her clothes and how funny he looked. While others like Miroku, perverts rather, compliment her on the short skirt. Unconsciouly she tugged at the hem to make it go down more in length than began walking. She could feel Inuyashas presence where he always went when he needed to think or needed time away from everyone. Sighing she walked through Inuyasha's forest and saw him perched in the Sacred Tree.

He had his arms crossed over his chest, his head bowed and his yes closed. She walked up to him quietly but no use, Inuyasha could smell her the instant she stepped out of the hut. His golden eyes fixed on her and she shiverd once again and stopped in her tracks. His eyes were soft and gentle with a lood of sadness in them that could only mean he felt sorry for something. He sighed and then leapt from his perch and landed in front of her. He then sat at the base of the tree, his back pressed against it and yet again closed his eyes, but his words were soft.

"Kagome....Im sorry... It was my fault you were hurt." He looked up at her with the sadest eyes and Kagome dropped to her knees. Inuyashas eyes followed the movement and locked onto her Chocolate gaze.

"Don't say that Inuyasha. It ws my fault, not yours! I was the stupid on-" Kagome said then was cut off by Inuyashas booming yet gentle voice.

"You're not Stupid...your'e smart..." His eyes darted from hers as he blushed.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome gasped as she too blushed but held her gaze on his closed eyes. Silence lingerd over them for what felt like foever but was no longer than five minutes. The wind blew causing Kagome to shiver and rub her arms over her bare skin. Inuyasha looked over at her and his eyes seemed to give the look of pity. He stood and slipped off his outer Kimono top and drapped it over her shoulders. The blood from his shoulderwound was all gone, since he washed it as Kagome slept. Kagome instantly stopped shivering and she looked up only to see Inuyasha's back to her.

"Thank you..." Kagome whisperd and pulled the warm cloth around her body and tucked her arms in and crossed them to keep warm. Inuyasha made his famous 'Keh' sound and looked over his shoulder at her.

"You should probably go back inside and get some sleep. We've got along day starting sun rise..." He said not turning to her but holding her gaze with his Liquid Molten eyes. His cheeks were red with embarrasment, making Kagome blush too. She nodded and got up, looking back over her shoulder at him as he jumped back into his perch, and walked back to the hut.

Kagome laid down after kicking off her shoes and making sure not to wake anyone. She smiled and snuggled closer into Inuyashas Kimono top and was lulled to sleep by his natural forest scent. As she slept all she could see was Inuyashas Smoldering liquid molten eyes on her.
