Ch.1~A New Emotion
Kagome sat silently, reflecting on her fight with InuYasha earlier. She stared up at the moon as a single tear ran down her cheek. She cared for him! No matter how much he hated her she still cared for him with all her heart. A selfish, egotistical jerk he may be, but he was still very close to her heart. A little too close than Kagome may have liked before this day. All she wanted was for him to hold her beneath the moon and tell her that she will stay with him for eternity.
~~~~(the scene earlier that day)~~~~~~~
InuYasha woke up to the sun rising gently over the hill. He was the first one up as usual. Sango was curled up with Miroku (they had somehow gotten that way over the course of the night). Shippo was nestled against Kagome(She was like a mother to him). He just sat there looking at the peaceful wanderers and wondered why he felt such a rush us emotions when ever he looked at the peaceful Kagome.
"I must be imagining things." He muttered under his breath. "I feel nothing for that girl! I have to feel nothing. I'm InuYasha! The fearsome dog-demon! I can't get tangled up with a mere human." InuYasha dragged himself out of the tree and walked a little ways into the woods where there was a hot spring and some apple trees.
Back at camp Kagome woke up feeling like someone was missing. She looked up into InuYasha's tree and noticed he was gone. Kagome yawned and decided to go take a bath in the nearby hot spring. She grabbed her shampoo and soap out of her backpack and walked towards the hot spring.
InuYasha had taken his clothes off and slipped into the spring. There were two large rocks in the spring. InuYasha went behind one and just laid there, relaxing. Kagome walked up to the edge of the spring and didn't see InuYasha so she took her clothes off and slid into the spring. She lathered her hair and washed the rest of her. She rinsed the shampoo out and swam around the spring a little before leaning against the opposite side of the rock InuYasha was relaxing on. He had heard some noises but had seen some birds flying out of the trees and put it off as just them.
Kagome fell asleep and slid very slowly into the water. When the water went past her nose she awoke very fast and started coughing and choking. InuYasha heard this and moved around to the other side of the rock to see who was there. As soon as he came around the rock he came face to face with a very vexed looking Kagome.
"INUYASHA!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Kagome slapped him across the face and left a bright red hand mark on his face. "ME? I was here before you! I should be asking what YOU are doing here!!!" InuYasha raised his hand to slap her back but something inside of him pulled him back and he lowered his hand. He just stared at her and then turned bright red as he remembered their "situation". They were both very close to each other and neither of them had one shred of clothing on their bodies. InuYasha's necklace was the only thing actually 'worn' by either of them right then.
"Umm…we aren't wearing any clothes…" InuYasha said feebly. "WHAT!!??" Kagome screeched. "YOU AREN'T WEARING ANYTHING EITHER?"
"You actually expect me to take a bath wearing ALL my clothing? How, exactly, do people in your time bath anyways?" InuYasha was being very sarcastic but the extremely flushed Kagome didn't know that much. Chaos soon ensued.
Miroku and Sango were awakened by the sounds of quite perturbed voices shouting at each other and the sounds of hands contacting cheeks. Soon the two decided they better go check it out because the screeches had suddenly stopped and Miroku was worried that they had killed each other.
What actually happened was that they had come to an agreement. InuYasha was to hide behind the rock until Kagome had gotten out and fully dressed. InuYasha agreed and was now hiding behind the rock. He heard the sounds of Kagome stepping out and decided to have just a little look. He peeked around the rock and let his jaw drop. Kagome was now completely out of the water. She brushed some of her hair onto her back in a way the made her chest stick out farther than normal(must I give details of a 16 year old girls anatomy?). InuYasha felt himself growing very warm as heat rise to his cheeks and various other parts of his body. InuYasha had never seen a girl naked. It was a very interesting experience for him. Also for Miroku who was watching InuYasha's reaction to the goings on of the naked Kagome on the other side of the Hot Spring. Miroku was peering out from a bush, almost not able to keep his questionable morals intact as thoughts of Sango wafted into his lecherous monk mind. Sango was standing behind him and couldn't see a thing. Suddenly Miroku turned around red faced and giddy. "Let's go back to camp Sango. They don't need any help after all." Sango took a quick look through the bush and quickly turned back to Miroku with cheeks redder than his. Her thoughts would be incredibly strange the rest of the day(for the rest of the week too!).
InuYasha watched with unabated interest as she returned all her articles of clothing to her body. She called out to him that she was dresses and then she walked behind a bush in order to let him get dressed. InuYasha stepped out of the water and Kagome peered through the bush. InuYasha could feel her eyes on him just as she could feel his eyes on her while she was changing. She watched with keen interest as her body heated as well. When he was through she stepped out from behind the bush before he even told her that he was ready. They looked at each other and then she walked over to him. "I've been meaning to do this for a long time." Kagome's voice sounded shaky as she leaned closer and closer to him…
^-0 hehehe…just a little fanatsy of mine. I just replace Kagome with me and InuYasha with Erik…and the fun in my mind begins…watch out! I'm crazy when I've had too much paki! Bwahahaha! Cliffhanger!!
