"What the heck did I just say?!" Kagome yelled to herself. "Kouga has been so nice to me. He let me in his home and cared for me when I needed someone the most. He even saves my life from time to time! So I went and got my self drunk!"

Kouga was getting the feeling that the subject needed to be changed.

"So, where would you like to go today? We can go to the shore, or the woods, or we can take a hike up the mountains." Kouga asked.

Kagome still had a feeling that Kouga wasn't quiet finished with her. If she said no, he might be insulted and it may affect their friendship. If she said yes, she may end up falling in love with Kouga for real and have another affair with him. She couldn't take the risks of sleeping with him again! This time she could go as far as to having sex with him! What if she got pregnant?! What if Inuyasha found out?! But she cared about Kouga's feelings. She would just have to be very careful and not let him too close.

"I would love to go with you Kouga!" she replied quickly.

A smiled formed upon Kouga's lips as he took Kagome's hand and ran down the hill. Kagome, being dragged along behind him, couldn't help but smile when she saw how happy she made Kouga just by accepting his request. But she had to keep her guard up! No matter what happened, she could not fall in love with Kouga!

"Here we are!" Kouga announced. "We can spend the entire day here!"

Kagome now knew she would have to get in a bathing suit for her to swim. Kouga already had some sort of bathing suit made out of fur. His upper body was shown and Kagome couldn't help but looked him. She thought about how muscular he was until she remembered not to get attached. This was going to be very hard. Too many things could make her closer to Kouga.

"Kagome, are you coming in?" Kouga ask with a purvey smile.

"Fine." Kagome replied in a reluctant tone.

What could she do? She could not tell Kouga that she doesn't want to swim with him because she is afraid that she may fall in love with him! It would destroy their friendship. But she needed her space. She got in the water and tried to have a good time. With all the splashing and laughter, the two lost track of time. It was already dark and they had a long walk to the cave.

"Oh great! It's a warm, dark night and the full moon is out! It's the most romantic night a girl could ask for!" Kagome screamed in her head.

All she could do is stare at the ground. Kouga, oblivious to how Kagome was acting, was already imagining them getting married and having children together. It was not a situation Kagome wanted to be in. Kouga yawned and placed his arm around Kagome's waist. She couldn't nudge him off so she walked with him to the cave. As they finally arrived at the cave, Kagome was ready to race to her room before Kouga got any ideas. But before she could even leave an inch of his side, he grabbed her and gave her the biggest and longest and most passionate kiss the two have ever had. Kagome seemed to forget the world. She forgot about her friends, Inuyasha, her old life. Everything she thought of had Kouga in it by her side.

"Could this be the moment I had been waiting for with Inuyasha?" Kagome asked herself. "Could this be what I wanted from the start?"

The questions rattled furiously through her head as she passionately kissed Kouga with all the energy she had left. She was so out of breath that Kouga picked her up and placed her on her bed. Kagome had lost the battle. She was completely in love with Kouga. She forgot the promises she made to herself. She forgot all the warning she told herself. I she could think about is being in Kouga's muscular arms and kissing him until the sunrise! She quickly took off her clothes and started to make love with Kouga.
