Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha sadly.
A/N: sorry it took so long to update summer madness and all that.
As I walked to the tent, Sesshomaru stayed by the fire pouring water on it, so it wouldn't create a forest fire.
He was waiting for me to change. Wow all the other guys I have been with couldn't wait to get a sneak peak. But that's just Sesshomaru for you, a gentleman if there ever was one.
I got changed and hopped into my sleeping bag, waiting for the sounds of the tent opening. It came a little later, and I pretended to be asleep, maybe he'll just look over me.
"Kagura, I can tell your not asleep." Sesshomaru said getting into his sleeping bag.
"No you can't." I said turning to face him. Must be his inner doggy demon letting him know I wasn't asleep.
Damn powers.
"So what has been bothering you?" He asked glancing sideways at me.
How could he tell? It's like he can read off my every emotion which is strange considering he has none. Maybe he can take some of mine.
"Nothing." I cant tell him I'm worried that Naraku might come back soon.
'Splish, splash'
Great rain while were camping. It's going to be freezing tonight.
"Well good night Seshy." I said turning the opposite away from him.
"Good night." He said right before I closed my eyes.
OOOOooooooOOOOooooOOOOooooOOOo
I was shivering uncontrollably when I opened my eyes to the darkness in the tent.
Apparently my sleeping bag wasn't made for cold conditions. Joy. Maybe Sesshomaru has a blanket I could borrow.
"Are you awake?" I asked into nothing, it must be like 12 or 1 in the morning.
"Yeah." He replied back in a husky voice.
"Do you h-have a bla-anket I could borrow?" I hate asking to borrow things, but this was necessary. I was going numb, and my teeth were chattering embarrassingly.
"No, are you cold?" I should wake him up more often, if he's going to sound like that.
"Yes-s." I stuttered on that ending note.
"Here we'll zip the two sleeping bags together. Get up." He voice was so compelling.
Needless to say I obeyed.
He zipped the two sleeping bags together, and got into it.
"Were sleeping together?" I asked not able to keep the shock from my voice.
"What you expect me to go without one?" He looked at me with his full gaze. "You'll be warmer with body heat."
I guess he's right.
Why is he always right?
I climbed into the sleeping bag. He was right, it was so warm and toasty already.
He grabbed my body as soon as I got settled in.
He was so warm. Must be the doggy genes."What are you…" I started to say.
"Shhh. Your so cold." He said holding me closer. His body so distracting.
For being a wind demon you would think I'd be able to handle the cold better, but alas I can't.
"Sesshomaru, I'm afraid Naraku might come back soon." Why did I say that? This is weird, I don't like this. My heart is beating too fast, I cant catch up to it.
"Don't worry, nobodies going to take you away. This Sesshomaru wont allow it." His voice was so powerful. I can feel it in my ears bouncing around, as if it can't settle down.
He started rubbing my back slowly. Up and down, side to side.
I shivered again, not from the cold, but from his touch. He just held me closer, without saying a word. I wanted him. The whole him. Not just a section. This strong feeling has never happened to me before.
I bent my head up and kissed his lips, unable to stop the urge. It just happened.
Stop it.
I know I cant though it feels too wonderful.
The kissing escalated. It was getting so hot underneath these sleeping bags.
I looked up into his hazel eyes.
Oh my God those beautiful eyes, with just a touch a gray silver. I wanted to be absorbed into those eyes, and be gone forever.
He pushed me back and got on top of me. Moving from my lips, to my eyes, down to my neck. I moaned, breaking the silence that held us captivated.
Was this what love was like?
OOOOoooooOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooo
The rain had stopped by the time I woke up in the morning in Sesshomaru's arms.
For once I didn't regret what happened between us last night, as I have with every other boy I've been with.
The question was, how the hell did his long silver hair stay so perfect when he slept on it? My hair was such a mess. I should ask him how he did it.
I got up and put back on my pjs that I had thrown all over the tent in a hurry. Man I should really watch where I'm throwing things next time.
I walked over to the bathroom, where Ayame was fixing her pigtails. Its like she wore her hair like that everyday. It kind of suited her personality though.
"SO what happened last night between you and Sesshomaru?" She asked as I was brushing my rats nest.
"Nothing, we just slept." I lied looking into the mirror as I pulled my hair into a classic bun.
"You liar. I can see it all over your face." She said turning to face me.
I blushed a deep color red. I really cant hide from these people. Am I that bad of a liar?
"So are you guys dating?"
"No I don't think so." I said trying to make my blushing go down. It didn't do much help, my cheeks still looked rosy red. Joy.
"Well he hasn't acted like this to anyone else before, in fact the only time I've ever seen him act sweet was to Rin, a neighbor girl he babysat." Ayame finished staring at me with big blue eyes.
"Why?" That is so strange. Is she telling me that Sesshomaru never was sweet to anyone but me and that girl Rin?
"Who knows its Sesshomaru. Even Inuyasha doesn't understand him." Ayame said walking out the door.
I want to get to know him. Everything about him. He's such a mystery to understand. I wonder if he just acts like he never feels anything, or he just really doesn't. I should ask him. He probably wont answer me.
Why does he like me though? I'm so easy to understand.
When I had finished brushing my teeth I joined the group by the fire. At least this time there were no flying marshmallows.
"Hey guys." I said as they looked up and saw me approaching. It's like they all have the same brain.
"Hey Kagura, have you ever been to Candy Rock?" Sango asked.
I looked at her from the corner of my eye. I have no idea what she's talking about. "Nope."
"Well today's your lucky day." She excitedly grabbed my arm. "Come on, you'll need a swim suit."
"Is there hiking involved?" Knowing my struggle with hiking, I'll be amazed if I make it anywhere.
"Its just down a few stairs on the other side of the lake." She said pushing me towards my tent to get changed.
I obeyed, and soon the whole group was making their way to the other side of the lake. Its so refreshing to be outdoors. In the city, where I have lived most of my life we don't get this. Not that I'm complaining of the city life, I love it, but every once and awhile you just want to be outside.
When we made it to the other side of the lake, I caught my breath. There was at least a mile of homemade stairs made out of wood and dirt leading down to more rocks.
"Just a few stairs?" I said through clenched teeth. I'm not as graceful on the ground then in the air.
"Oh come on Kagura, they're easy as pie." Sango yelled up to me, already half way there.
I made it down the first few steps fairly ok. Maybe I'm not as bad at this as I thought. I spoke too soon as my foot spilled off the side of the stair and I went flying down the hill next to the stairs.
I was tumbling, and could feel every scrape and bruise forming in my skin, and then I felt soft but strong arms pick me up, and make the rest of the way down to the next flat surface.
"Kagura are you ok?" Kana said standing near me.
"I think so." I didn't feel broken. I just wish I could be on my feet again.
I started to push away and the hands put me softly on the ground.
Why was it him who was always saving me?
"Well were here." Ayame's voice sounding airy.
I looked up and was amazed.
Right in front of my eyes was a round red-gray rock with a waterfall dropping off into emerald pools between smooth huge rocks. A figure jumped off the round rock into the pools. That looks dangerous.
"Come on Miroku," A very eager Sango was trying to push a very scared looking Miroku off the rock. "Don't be a chicken."
"Sango, I could die." Miroku said back not taking his eyes off the drop.
"Miroku, Miroku…" Inuyasha started the chant, soon after everyone followed suit.
Miroku took a big breath, strain showing on his face, and jumping into the water.
Cheering followed as he popped back up. He looked accomplished.
"Kagura, your up." He said splashing water in my direction.
"I'll take you up." I said back climbing the way on top of the rock.
It was a long drop, and I could see everyone smiling up at me for reassurance,
Whatever.
I took a breath, and watched as blurs made their way past me, and felt the water slap my legs as I fell in. It took me a minute to find my way back up through the water and to the air.
"How was it?" Kana questioned as I swam over to the rock.
"Amazing." It was the truth.
We swam for another hour each taking turns jumping off Candy Rock, but it was getting late and we still had to pack and get ready for school tomorrow.
I made my way back up the stairs with a little trouble, but I didn't fall. With regrets we all packed and shoved our bags into the cars.
'Breathing'
"Sesshomaru, you really have got to stop doing that." I said turning around to him standing so still.
"Be careful, and call me if you notice anything." Sesshomaru wasn't much for goodbyes.
