The Man She Loves
Or
Kagome's First Kiss
They stood by the ancient tree, talking. They said nothing important really, just talking. It was quite a change.
He was leaning against the tree, and she was sitting beside him. Every once and a while there would be nothing but silence, now was one of those times. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, thoughtful it seemed, they just listened to the birds. She looked up at him and marveled at how the sunlight made his eyes sparkle. He looked down at her and they both blushed and looked away.
It had been a long time since they were alone together. Her friends were always there. She loved them, but for all of their 'you should admit your love' talk, they never left them to each other. Their time alone… so short. The silence, knowing it was just the two of them, if just for a moment, was heartwarming.
Clouds were forming, shading the warm sun. She stood up, "I guess we should go in." It was sprinkling silver, warm raindrops trembling on her hair and on her face. There was still a small amount of sunlight gleaming through the clouds and reflecting off of the water creating an atmosphere that was like a hazy dream.
"Kagome…" his voice faltered.
"Yes?" She turned and saw him so close. His eyes so deep. She gasped, startled, surprised. He moved even closer, eyes studying hers unwaveringly. He ran his index finger down her jaw line.
"I…" his breathing was ragged, his voice husky. He stood so very close, hand cupping her cheek. She found that it was very hard to breathe when your chest is so tight. Her hands moved unbidden to his chest, and he held her face in his hands.
He pulled her close, leaning down. Her fists clutched at the rough fabric of his jacket. The world was moving in slow motion. She could see each individual raindrop falling from heaven. Their lips remained a millimeter apart for an eternity. Finally the world sped up and he was kissing her, his lips soft and gentle. Heat engulfed her body, and for that moment nothing else in the world existed except him and his kiss.
They pulled back and he held her close and tight. Her breathing was quick and shallow, and she felt happily drunk. He tilted her chin to him.
"I love you, Kagome." They kissed again, hot and slow. Hardly parting for breath. She pulled away for a time, a short time. Eyes half lidded as she moved to kiss him again, whispering as she went.
"I love you too, Hojo."

End Note: Now, before I am slaughtered, I hate Hojo. The only thing is that I have never seen anything like this before so I just had to do this! Flame me if you like, just know that J . If it makes you feel better substitute 'Inu-Yasha' for 'Hoho'. I just wanted to know everyone's reactions to him showing up! At least it wasn't a K/S fic!
Inu-Yasha is the sexiest! Sesshó-maru is a TRANSVESTITE!
(Is brutally tortured by Fluffy fans!)
I DO NOT CARE! Everyone I've ever asked thought that he was Inu-Yasha's sister the first time 'he' showed up in the manga! W-O-M-A-N! He's pretty for goodness sakes!
(Fluffy fans attack more, but all IY/K fans protect me!)
IY/K forever!
Love you guys!
