Hey, everyone! What's up? I was bored so I thought I would finish up the next chapter of my story. Well, here it is, and remember to read and review, because I dislike silent readers.

The wind swept through the trees as the hanyou sped through the forest with the miko safely secured to his back by his strong arms. He sighed at how boring it had been for the past half of the day without Kagome's annoying twittering.

I just want to hear her voice. She's not all that twittering all of the time. Maybe just a little. What am I thinking? Inuyasha had been trying to think of something to distract his whole trip, but all his thoughts returned to the miko on his back.

He felt her shift and then settle again. A bug flew in front of his path and he opened his mouth at the same time to sigh again. The bug was in his mouth in the next instant. He stopped so quickly that he tripped over his own feet and fell face flat into the ground. Kagome flew a few feet over him and landed on his head. She woke up with a start and looked around.

"Inuyasha?" She felt something underneath her stomach move, and she pushed herself up onto her hands and knees. Inuyasha dug his head out of the ground and spit the bug out of his mouth. He flipped over onto his back and looked up at Kagome looming over his face. Her brows knitted in worry.

"Did I say a certain word in my sleep?" Kagome asked and flipped over onto her back as well and sidled up next to Inuyasha.

"No. A bug flew into my mouth." The hanyou stated.

"Oh." Kagome flipped over onto her stomach and laid her arms and head on Inuyasha's chest. She felt his clawed fingers brush through her hair. She relaxed and just let the feeling of his hands combing through her black hair wash over her. He stopped after a few moments and took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"We should get going. It's going to be dark soon." Inuyasha said quietly.

Kagome turned her head so that her cheek was against his chest, "Why not just camp here?"

"I wasn't planning on camping." Inuyasha stated.

"You need sleep too. When you were at my house, you looked exaughsted." Kagome hoisted her head up to look at his face. "You still do."

Inuyasha smirked, "I can go for at least a week without sleep, Kagome."

"How long has it been since you last slept?"

"About a week and a half." came his reply.

"You said a week without sleep." Kagome recalled.

"I said at least." Inuyasha corrected.

Kagome scowled at him. "I still want you and I to camp here for the night."

"Why?"

"So that you and I are completely refreshed so that when we catch up to Miroku and Sango, we will be able to take on Naraku with more strength." The miko explained her reasoning.

Inuyasha seemed to think this over in his mind.

"We don't even have to move from this position. I feel really warm with you right next to me." Kagome felt her face grow warm as she said this. Even Inuyasha's cheeks got a shade pinker.

"Fine, whatever you want." Inuyasha agreed. "Go to sleep."

"But I want to talk a little bit longer." Kagome looked a little hurt.

"Feh." came his famous reply. "You said we needed our sleep." He smirked at his own imitation of her.

"Shut up." Kagome stared at him a little longer.

He met her gaze and asked her, "What?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking." Kagome adverted her eyes from his amazing golden eyes.

He looked at the top of her head, "About what?"

Her cheeks grew quite pink, "Uh... your fingers..."

"What about them?" Inuyasha held up one of his hands and examined his claws.

"I just like the way you... brushed my... hair." Kagome's face was getting quite red.

Inuyasha gave her a small smile and placed his hand on her head and stroked his claws through her raven black hair. "Like this?"

Her faced relaxed as she nodded. He smiled again when she laid her head back down on his chest. After a few more minutes of that, Kagome shifted and raised her head again to meet his eyes. His hand was still on top of her head, caught in her long tresses. She reached up and pulled his hand into her own and intertwined their fingers. He just looked at her with curious eyes. She looked at his hand and brought it to her face and with their fingers still intertwined, brushed the back of his hand against her silky smooth cheek. She closed her enchanting chocolate brown eyes as she did this. He closed his dazzling amber eyes as well, just soaking in the feeling of her cheek beneath his hand.

The hanyou chuckled as a thought dawned on him. The miko from the future stopped and looked at him, curiously, "What is it?"

"You only said that you wanted to just talk. Just talk, my ass." Inuyasha grinned.

Kagome giggled at his comment, "I thought this would be more fun."

"Why? Are you having fun?" Inuyasha cocked his head slightly to the side.

"Tons." Kagome said to him.

"I can think of something a lot more fun than this." Inuyasha hinted.

"What?" It was Kagome's turn to cock her head to the side.

"It involves both of us touching, without any... clothes." Inuyasha gave the biggest hint of them all.

Kagome's eyes widened. "I'm not sure that we should, Inuyasha. I mean I love you and all, but I don't think I'm ready for that just yet."

She could see the sparkle in his eyes vanish at her words, but she didn't want to risk getting pregnant right before a battle with Naraku. He sighed, "That would be a lot of fun though. I wanted to have that much fun."

"You can give yourself some fun, but count me out of it for now." Kagome told him and rested her chin on his chest.

"For now? So that means you'll do that with me later?" Inuyasha asked hopefully.

"Not as soon as you think, but maybe." Kagome said.

Inuyasha held out his pinky to her, "You promise?"

Kagome's eyes widened, "No, I'm not promising that!"

"Well, I guess I'll just have to make you have fun with me now." Inuyasha flipped himself on top of her in a fraction of a second.

Kagome yelped out in surprise and tried to get out from underneath his sculpted body. Inuyasha secured her to him with his arms wrapped around her tiny waist. He began to nip at her neck and kiss her racing pulse. "Okay, okay! I promise! Please get off of me." Kagome pleaded on her last hope.

He shook his head, "I'll stop, but I want you to know what you're missing." He thrusted underneath her skirt and stopped there. Suddenly, the raven haired miko didn't want the hanyou to move. She cursed at her horomones, but she wrapped her legs around his waist and tightened her grip on him. He chuckled. "Do you want me to stay like this?"

"As long as you like." Kagome said as she felt the juices start pouring out of her and pooling in her panties. She earned another thrust and gasped at his strength. It hurt so much, but it felt so good at the same time. She didn't know what to think about this situation, after all, she was very new to all of this. Of course she heard about what all teenagers gossipped about in Health and sex ways, but never could she put this feeling to words.

Inuyasha let go of her waist and removed her legs from around his own waist and got up off of her and laid beside her. Kagome turned her head to him and looked disappointed. "We need to go to sleep, now."

"But I can't sleep now that you did that." Kagome tried to slow her breathing. Her face was beet red now.

"You don't want to do this now, and I can wait for you to tell me when you are ready. Only then will I mate with you." Inuyasha swore.

Kagome didn't want to say it out loud that she was ready, because deep inside her, she knew that she was not ready for that type of an experience just yet. "Inuyasha, will you do that to me when I'm eighteen. I will be of age, and I think I would be ready to be... your mate by then."

"I can, if that is what you want. I will be patient for you." Inuyasha said to the seventeen year old miko. "How many more months will it be until your day of birth?"

"Three months." Kagome replied.

Inuyasha logged that information away for further reference and pulled Kagome on top of his chest. "Now go to sleep."

She adjusted herself, so that she laid between his legs and her head was laying on his stomach as a pillow. His hand found her head again and brushed through her hair rhythmically, until she fell into a deep slumber.

A/N: I hope you liked it. I'm working on the next chapter. Please review.
