He was carrying her to village, he held her as a mother would a baby. Her hands strayed down and swayed with Inuyasha's steady steps. Kagome was fast asleep, hurt, tired and hungry. Inuyasha was, too but not nearly as much. He needed to fasten his pace. He began to run. Kagome awoke startled. She clenched Inuyasha tight.

Kagome sat in the steaming bath, incense burning around her. She looked into the night sky. It was amazing to her, to see so many stars in the sky. Where she lived, modern Japan, stars could not be seen. The steaming bath was sensational. Smelling the incense, and inhaling the steam, feeling naked, but free was great. Should would never say anything, but it would so much better if Inuyasha was in there with her. Earlier, when she was asleep, and eating, Inuyasha had been in the same water that she soaked in. It was comforting, being in his old bath water, it was like a part of him was in there. She tasted the water, she imagined Inuyasha's body, his musky smell she tasted. In fact, the water tasted just as he smelled. He face suddenly turned as if she was having sex with him. She imagined how her naked body, her private must have looked to him. Did he like it? For some odd reason she wasn't embarrassed, but actually proud he had a good excuse to see her wonderful body. Her heart raced and she felt so happy. Though, she was only in the eighth grade. Was that right? It didn't matter. She wiped her hand on her silky black hair and began to rub her private. She wondered what Inuyasha might look like naked. Did he have silver hair down there just like his head hair? (Forget that, I'm not gay and I'm not going down that rode, just wanted to give you an idea what she was thinking.) She began the caress her boob, it was damp, and she lifted it and began to lick the water off of it. " What the hell is taking her so long?" " Be patient, Lord Inuyasha, ye be not long. It has been a long day for her." " Aah, she should join us for dinner." Inuyasha jumped from his seat and ran outside to the rock garden, where in the center was Kagome in the bath. " What is taking you so long!?"? Kagome suddenly jumped and covered herself. " Pervert!" Kagome yelled and her face blushed. " Kagome, the way you are sitting I can see your butt." " Then get the hell out or I will call the police!" Inuyasha scrambled out then suddenly stopped. "Police?" Thump. Thump. Thump. The noise interrupted dinner. Inuyasha stood to see what it was. He pulled open the djose screen. At the door lay the head. The head of the beast. IT s cold, lifeless eyes looked into Inuyasha. It showed its teeth. One was a jewel shard.
