More fun with Inuyasha and Kagome and a little of her mom's dissaproval...enjoy :)

Is it cliché to say they were inseparable? Is there another way to put it? Then I will be cliché. Love overwhelmed every part of their being; it consumed their very soul which they happily surrendered to.

Whenever Inuyasha had work he would always find Kagome waiting for him when his shift ended. Whenever Kagome had tutoring, the roar of the engine of his truck would make her heart flutter, knowing he was waiting for her.

Her parents didn't agree, it was evident, but she could care less. All she knew was this felt absolutely perfect.

The wings that formed in her heart made her soar as she glided over to the waiting arms and jumped in them with a giddy shriek.

His feet took a few steps back in order to regain his self, but otherwise it had been a smooth catch. "Where to my Kagome?" he chuckled at her child-like antics.

"To the moon Inuyasha!" she begged jokingly.

He laughed again, "Anything for you."

He placed his hand softly behind her neck and brought her face down to his sealing his promise with a kiss still holding her up with his one arm.

They were the picture perfect couple in love beyond comprehension. Two young lovers against the accepted social norms. They thought their love would conquer all so they both ignored the nagging of the outside world and society.

"Come on Kagome!" Sango called out to her friend.

Kagome ran as fast as her slender legs could carry her, but she could still not keep up with her friend. She clung desperately to the hat that threatened to fly off at any minute. If I lose this hat mother will kill me. I don't know what's worse, coming home with a sunburn and freckles or wearing this stupid thing.

"Are we there yet Sango?" Kagome complained as she struggled to keep her friend in view.

Her friend laughed from up ahead, "yes Kagome, it's just over that hill." She laughed again at the groan.

When she saw Sango stop at the top of the hill she gave a little silent prayer of thanks that they could finally stop running, but suddenly Sango disappeared. Where the hell did she go?

Her question was soon answered when she saw Sango's swimming around with none other than Miroku in the lake that they were supposed to have a picnic at. "Sango? You didn't tell me Miroku was going to be here."

"She didn't."

Kagome froze at the voice, but didn't have time to respond because no sooner had she recognized the voice she was suspended in the air.

She let out a loud shriek, "Put me down Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha smirked at the command and held her out over the water, "If you say so."

Her brown eyes widened in realization at what Inuyasha intended to do. "NO NO I can't get this hat wet, my mother would kill me!"

The hat was thrown off of her head with a slight chuckle from Inuyasha, "Problem solved."

"No Inuyasha, please!" she pleaded.

But her pleas were ignored and before she knew it she was submerged in the lake. She shot up quickly and gasped in surprise as well as for air. Her brown eyes narrowed at the laughing hanyou who was holding his sides.

"You jerk! I'll get you for that!" she promised.

Inuyasha immediately stopped laughing and grabbed a rope that was hanging off of the near tree branch. "Oh really?" he challenged with a cocky smirk.

"Inuyasha," she warned.

He took a few steps back and gripped the rope tightly before running forward. "Catch me Kagome!" he yelled as he launched himself in the water.

The three teenagers in the water yelled out in protest as the huge wave engulfed them all.

Inuyasha came up laughing from the water only to be shoved down immediately.

"That ought to teach you," Kagome laughed.

And that's how most of the summer went for the four of them. Playing around without a care in the world, oblivious to the problems that they were to face ahead. The rest of the afternoon they took turns swinging off the rope into the lake, enjoying the nice cool water on that hot summer day. Kagome however, took some convincing. She still was hesitant to let go of all of her prissy ways.

"Come on Kagome, get in the water!" Sango yelled.

"No," she whined, "I can't." It had been about the tenth attempt to try and swing off the rope and each time she had stopped just at the edge of the lake.

"Get in the water! Get in!" Inuyasha commanded. "I'm sorry baby. Would you please just get in the water?"

"Get in!" Sango and Miroku yelled.

Kagome took a deep breath before running towards the lake again. With her eyes squeezed shut she let the rope carry her out over the lake before plunging down, shrieking the entire way.

When she emerged she had a smile on her face that reached the skies. "That was fun! I wanna do it again!"

And she did. Over and over until her hands were too raw to grip the rope. Momma is gonna be mad about this, she thought while looking down at her throbbing red hands. She always said that you can tell a lady by her hands. She was so busy studying them that she didn't notice her mother walk up as she walked in her house.

"What's wrong Kagome?" her mother asked when she got home that day.

"Huh?" she asked caught by surprise. "Oh, nothing mother. I'm just tired. I had so much fun today," she smiled when she thought about the way Inuyasha wrestled with her in the water before kissing her senseless when she tried to stay mad at him.

"No doubt with that Inuyasha boy," it came out like bad tasting food.

"Yes mother and Sango and Miroku. We all went to the lake today and swung from ropes-."

"Swung from ropes? Kagome what has gotten into you? I raised you up to be a lady not some animal swinging from trees."

"But it was fun mother. I liked it," she pleaded with her eyes, but her mother did not seem to be giving in.

"Why couldn't you have gone with Kouga? He's a very fine boy from a good family."

"Mother!" she just about yelled. "I don't like him. He's so conceited and full of himself. Inuyasha is so much fun and makes me smile. I lo-ike him."

Mrs. Higurashi sighed in defeat, for now at least, and let her daughter walk away.

Kagome shut herself in her room before collapsing in her bed. She almost told her mom that she loved Inuyasha. It was true she did, but she hadn't even said it to him yet. I wonder what momma would think if I told her I loved him?Please review!!! Thank you
