Last Time:
"Yusuke calm down already." Botan grasped his arm. "You're not helping the situation any with your incessant yelling."
"Leave me alone Botan!" Yusuke wrenched his arm away failing to notice the hurt look that Botan was giving him.
"He's just angry that's all. I don't think he meant to push me away." Botan reasoned.
"Just remember Botan, that if Yusuke doesn't realize your feelings for him than he's dumber than Kuwabara." Sango stated. After that was said the whole group of girls erupted into a fit laughter suddenly feeling more at ease than they did moments ago.
"So what's there to do down here?" Kurama asked once she caught up to him and they both started making their way downstairs.
" There's this place I love going to. I think you'll like it too." Kagome smirked at him.
Getting off his windowsill, he walked out his room and downstairs towards the kitchen. Upon entering he stopped and stared with eyes wide open and mouth slightly opened in surprise. The sound of a metal spoon hitting the hard tile resounded throughout the silent kitchen.
Slumping back onto his bed, he stared up his ceiling smiling to himself as he finally realized that he had unexpectedly fallen in love for his grim reaper. Now the problem was getting her to know it
Now:
"So did you have fun tonight?" Kagome asked. Both her and Kurama were currently strolling through the beach. Waves crashed upon waves creating a high surf.
"I did. What about you?" Kurama said looking out towards the dark ocean. Kagome had spent the night away going to a nice restaurant. After that they both went dancing for awhile. Kurama was amazed at Kagome's dance moves. Than again she was a pop star of course dancing was in her dance description.
"I had a great time. Being with you I have to admit eases all the drama that's been occurring." Kagome watched as her feet sunk into the sand as they both walked along the beach. She had taken off her flip flops letting her feet soak into the water.
"I see that Sango's situation also puts you in grief." Kurama turned his head to glance at her. He noticed her sadden expression.
"I just wish she would tell me what's wrong. Than there's also Yusuke. Sango implies that he's hiding something but why would he?" Kagome stopped and turned around to face him. Kurama had stopped as well looking down at her.
"You shouldn't let any of this get to you Kagome. You have to be strong." Kurama reason pushing a strand of hair, that was blown in front of her face by the wind, behind her ear.
"Kurama..." Kagome was at loss of words. Part her wanted to spill out all the emotions she was feeling at the moment but him being so close in front of her distracted her.
"All will be revealed in its due time. You just have to be patient. I know you want to help but if Sango is ready to let you in than she will. I know as hard as it is, you just have to be there for her."
Not knowing how to express her thoughts, she instead wrapped her arms around him. Kurama in return wrapped his arms around her small waist.
After a few moments, Kagome felt a drop of water spill onto her face than another dropped on her nose. Soon a wad of raindrops fell upon the two.
Giggling, Kagome pulled away from Kurama. Raising her arms in the air, she spun around as the rain quickly drenched her hair and clothing. Kurama smiled at her childish antics. He had never seen anyone so free spirited.
Kagome had stopped spinning to notice Kurama staring at her. She chuckled a bit now feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I love the rain," She randomly stated. Thought the statement alone was enough to knock Kurama out of his reverie. "I remember that every time it rained no matter what I was doing I would always run outside to dance in the rain. My mother would always say that I will catch my death one day but it didn't matter to me."
Kurama walked up to Kagome. He too was drenched, his brightly colored hair matted dully but beautifully down his head. He cupped her left cheek into his other while the other pushed a few strands of wet hair behind her ear.
Kagome's breath hitched in her throat. Her eyes turning into a dreamy gaze feeling his thumb caress the side of her face.
"Then I wish for more rainy days... just to see that blissful look on your face."
"You scared me there." Sango hopped off from the counter and bent over to pick up her spoon. Hiei just stood rooted to his spot.
He tried his hardest to not stare but his eyes had deceived him glancing at her seemingly long creamy legs. Rain tapped at the window, slowly making it's way down the glass.
"Are you just going to stand there?" Sango asked as she placed the spoon into the sink and threw away the now empty ice cream carton.. He finally took notice of the pink robe she was wearing.
Trying to avert his gaze from her, Hiei walked over and open the refrigerator. He wasn't sure what he was looking for but he need something to take his eyes and mind away from Sango.
His thoughts wondered back to the image of Sango in her robe sitting on top of the counter with her leg draped over the other. He remembered that the movement of her reaching down to pick up the fallen spoon had caused her robe to slightly caused to part open giving Hiei a small glance of her top crevice.
'What's wrong with me?' Hiei thought. He berated himself mentally for thinking such perverse thoughts and for a human no less. It wasn't like him to think this way or even think about anything at all.
Sango stood leaning back against the sink her arms crossed over her chest feeling a bit embarrassed. Taught her to actually put some clothes on when getting out of the shower. She glanced over at Hiei and noticed that he seemed to be in deep thought.
'Was that...could it be? Is Hiei...blushing?' Sango thought to herself.. She could've sworn she saw a red tint spread across cheeks as the light of the refrigerator fell on his face.
Hiei finally gave up on trying to find anything to eat realizing he was never hungry to begin with. He shut the door and turned to find Sango staring at him. Lifting an eyebrow, he asked.
"What are you staring at woman?"
"Nothing." She blushed and tried to find something else to stare at. "I...I just...nothing."
Hiei let out a small snort making his way out kitchen. Pasting by Sango he said, "Well than put some clothes on. Others do live here as well so save yourself from the embarrassment"
Sango turned to glare at his back. Pompous jerk, Sango thought but if it weren't for the lack of lighting you would've noticed the light shade of pink spreading across her cheeks. No one infuriated her as much as Hiei did. It sometimes made wonder back to what Kagome mentioned last night
"It already seems like Sango found her Mr. Right"
"What? Who?" Sango asked looking at Kagome as Botan and Yukina giggled obviously understanding what Kagome meant.
"Hiei, of course." Kagome answered while trying to hold a giggle. " I mean the way he saved and all seemed like you two were an item."
Sango laughed at the thought of her and Hiei as an item. It was ridiculous, they both hated each other with an equal passion.. Where would Kagome get the idea that they would hook up?
Than again back when Hiei had saved her, it was a funny coincidence how he managed to get their so quickly. What would he be doing wandering around in the middle of a forest? Strange, Sango thought but very grateful. Sango shuddered at the thought of anything were to happen if Hiei hadn't showed.
"Me and Hiei together...yeah sure when hell freezes over." Sango muttered to herself dryly and went upstairs to her room before anyone else were to walk in on her.
Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
The car pulled into the front driveway with Kagome and Kurama in towed. Both were partially drenched. The heavily loads of rain from earlier had now turned into a small sprinkle..Kagome had been silent since the whole incident back at the beach.
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
The car had stopped at the front door and as soon as they got out it drove out leaving Kagome and Kurama alone. Kagome was already digging through her purse for the keys. Kurama stood behind her patiently.
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
"I had a great time, Kurama. You're a good listener." Kagome said pulling her keys out of her bag. She walked up the door with Kurama in tow as she unlocked the door.
"I know all this must be hard for. You just look like you needed someone to hear you out." Kurama said shoving his hands in his pockets. The both walked inside.
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
Take my breath away

"Exactly. Thank you for understanding."
"Oh it was my pleasure." Kurama chuckled a bit. They both started to climb out the stairs. The laughed at small jokes and talked some more about the nights event. They stopped in front of Kagome's room.
"Well goodnight, Kurama." Kagome smiled. Her hand reached for the doorknob but Kurama had stopped her resting his hand on top of her's.
"Kagome, wait..."
Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
"...yes?" Kagome asked. Kurama was in a loop hole now. He wasn't sure why he had stopped her, they would both have to part ways sooner or later though he preferred never to be parted from her. He never wanted this night to end and if she walked through that door than it would bring him back to this harsh reality where girls kissed the floor he walked on, was always the reasonable, and just...utterly alone.
Turning and returning
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
"I just wanted to properly say goodnight." Kurama answered. This had left Kagome with her brow raised in question but Kurama had ignored. Grabbing both sides of her face, he lent down slowly brushing his lips against hers.
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Regaining her senses, Kagome wrapped her arms around Kurama's neck bring him closer. Both kissed with an equal passion of fire as if they would never see each other again. Their tongues clashed as if fighting swords.
Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid
Soon they had both parted for air. Their heavy pants was the only thing that could be heard they both stared with feverish gazes. Emerald meshing with gray. Kagome unwrapped her arms from his neck and he dropped his hands from her face.
"Goodnight." Kagome whispered planting on last kiss on his lips. She opened her door and slipped inside closing the door behind.
Kurama stood rooted to his spot staring at her door. He smiled to himself at what had just occurred moments ago. Walking back to his room you would noticed an extra bounce in his steps.
Kagome leaned back on her door a hand resting on her pounding heart. She was on cloud nine and nothing could bring her feet back to the ground. She pushed herself off the door and tossed her bag onto her vanity. Opening a few drawers, she managed to pull out her sleeping bottoms. Slipping them on she soon started to sing to herself.
Watching every motion
In this foolish lovers game
Haunted my the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flamesTurning and returning
To some secret place inside
Pulling the covers back she hop into her bed and tucked herself in. She turned on her side and reached over to turn her lamp off. Sitting in darkness she laid flat on her back and finished the last few verses of her song.
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say...Take my breath away
"Take my breath away." Kagome whispered softly herself and closed her eyes letting sleep come to her.
