A/N: ok yeah I know a ridiculously long time to update. But school was being hellish especially since I'm a senior and getting ready for college, and creating my art portfolio and trying to get my A+ certification (computer license), so I just lost time and all drive to continue the story. BUT I'm starting it again cuz I noticed ppl were actually putting it as their favorite after only two chapters so yay and now that I have no life anymore I'll be updating this and my other story too at least once a week, every two when exams come close.

Chapter 3

After the sun had set InuYasha disturbed the star-eyed Kagome to complain about their lack of activities today. So the poor girl turned to face him breathing out a very audible sigh and slowly made her way towards the others. Kagome continued her travels with the group, clutching ever so tightly to her lovely white lily, sighing frequently. But her sighs did not go unnoticed, for both InuYasha and Miroku were attentive to her recent change in mood.

Miroku, very smoothly, approached InuYasha with a very concerned face although the hidden smirk was obvious to those who were familiar with him. "InuYasha, what is our dear lovely Kagome so melancholy about? She suddenly takes off running with you following suit, and when you both return a huge cloud hovers above her head." Miroku couldn't suppress the smirk any longer, especially when InuYasha's reaction was so priceless. His scrunched up nose and small glare towards Miroku, showing his displeasure with a hint of insecurity, was delicious for the cunning monk. And despite InuYasha's obvious desire to end the conversation right there and then Miroku persisted. "Did you perhaps give Kagome that lily? Ah...but wait, you couldn't have. After all how would you know that those are her favorite flowers. Ah so the real question is who exactly did give her said flower? That or why?" With that last statement miroku just fell back humming a sweet tune and went to join the ladies.

InuYasha was far from pleased. She was too attached to the random flower she had found by the water. 'Where the hell did that damn weed come from? There wasn't even one for miles near it, so how could it just appear? Is that stupid monk actually right? Did someone give it to her? Wait...what am I thinking I saw her the entire time and I didn't even sense someone in the area.' InuYasha soon grew impatient with his thoughts and stopped the party hunching over as if he was going to sit, but instead he just hovered like that. Everyone looked at him strangely.

"Uh...InuYasha...what are you doing?" a very confused Sango questioned.

"Kagome, come on." Sango turned to face the even more confused Kagome as if to question if something was wrong. Kagome just shrugged her shoulders and mouthed the words "I don't know?" before hopping off Kirara and climbing on InuYasha's back.

"Is this better for you?" Kagome asked down to the beast under her.

"Just shut up," InuYasha replied before sprinting off the others close behind. With her on his back, he could hear her soothing heartbeat upon him and his thoughts of the mysterious lily had faded with each thump heard upon his back. The vision of Kagome's innocent blush and her clutching the flower with the light reflecting off the water onto her wonderfully pale, smooth skin replaced his troublesome thoughts. His heart was racing.

After a few hours, the group decided to stop for the night. Within a mere 30minutes after setting up was finished, all had fell into a rather deep sleep...all except Kagome. She had been waiting for InuYasha to finally go to sleep in order to go search for her mysterious seducer. Luckily for her, InuYasha was strangely exhausted from just a day's travel. 'Have I gained weight or something that made him extra tired?' she pondered to herself before shaking off that notion and continuing to quietly sneak past the camp site. Once she was out of earshot, she darted off just running wherever she felt like. Clutching the white lily that seemed to be rapidly dying due to her excessive attention to it, Kagome ran for about an hour before stopping at an oddly placed hot spring. 'Well isn't this convenient? I call bad writing.'

A/N: Fuck you kagome it was late!

Just observing this amazingly relaxing looking hot spring, made the poor girl realize how much her feet hurt and how sore her muscles were. "Why not?" she said to herself as she quickly checked for anyone nearby before undressing. The hot water worked magic on her muscles. All her stress and tension seemed to melt away. It was so relaxing that she started to close her eyes. The rock formation behind her seemed to be massaging her aching shoulders. She let out a very content moan before realizing...'Wait...rocks don't move.' She twisted her head around to see what was behind her, but by doing so she pinched a nerve and was now in excruciating pain. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuucccck! Ow!" she yelled tearing up at her pain. Then hot breath could be felt on her ear, down to her neck and the all to familiar yet mysterious voice whispered in her ear.

"Well now was that exactly a smart idea?" A giggle could be heard from the man's voice. 'Oh great he's sarcastic' Kagome grunted in her head.

"How was I supposed to know that would happen?" Kagome retaliated slightly annoyed.

"Now, now. As much as I do enjoy your feisty personality, you should relax."

"How can I relax with a complete stranger touching me in very..." the mysterious man put slightly more pressure on her back making her feel amazing. "...soothing...motions." Kagome nearly drooled at the movements of his hands. They felt so good against her.

"That's a good girl." The man didn't even need to face her for Kagome to know he had a sincere smile on his face. His voice could depict every little detail of emotion he had on his face.

"So...do I get to see my mysterious follower who lives in my dreams?" Kagome questioned in her flirty tone. Suddenly she felt a hand cover her eyes as the sound of someone else entering the water was heard. she could feel him come up close to her and without lifting his hand, he kissed her. His voice seemed monotone compared to the emotions his lips could transfer. Such passion, lust, wanting, need, and even love all in one slow and gentle motion. There was no tongue, just a simple, sweet open mouthed kiss; but even though it was such a kiss, it was still perfect.

Kagome has to steady her breath. Her heart was beating so fast one could not differ between one heartbeat to another. It just hummed. Then with an even more swift motion than the kiss, her raised his hand off her eyes. Slowly Kagome opened her eyes.

"Gasp!"
