Chapter 2 - WHAM.

It was morning once again. Thankfully.

Kagome quietly walked through the forest she had been sleeping in the middle of, barely paying attention to where she was going, half the time. She was yawning every other second, and could barely keep her thoughts straight. They all dwelled of one... theme, although. Miroku, and the dream.

She hadn't gone back to sleep that night, fearing she would wake up shouting Miroku's name once again. Her cheeks turned red even at the thought of that.. moment, again.

Miroku. Damn him. It was all his fault that she had to go and dream about him. But that was silly, accusing Miroku of her own dreams.

But.. oh, God!

What if.. she really wanted to kiss him? Maybe her subconscious thoughts were trying to tell her something. But a romance? A kiss? More than a kiss? With Miroku?

WHAM.

Kagome toppled over on her back with a screech, and she rubbed her throbbing head, which had obviously hit something very hard. She looked up, and stared at the tree towering before her.

"Kagome! Are you alright?" Miroku called, dashing back to Kagome's side.

"Yes, I'm.. fine," Kagome managed, trying to direct her gaze away from Miroku.

Miroku offered out his arm for support so that Kagome could get up.

How sweet!

No! No. Not sweet. Just.. polite. That was it. Yes, good monk.

Kagome held on to Miroku's arm as she heaved herself up.

"Thanks."

"Anytime."

Kagome continued following on, walking a little faster this time, to catch up with Inuyasha and Shippou. Miroku stayed walking at her side, although.

Must.. initiate.. conversation.

Kagome let out a sigh, and shook her head.

"You seem perplexed," Miroku commented softly.

Score!

"Mm.. not.. really, I guess," Kagome replied.

"Wait, this isn't about your dream last night, was it?" asked Miroku, rather mischievously.

Dammit!

"Er.. no! Of course not!"

"Kagome, you can tell me, don't be embarrassed."

"It's a little late for that now."

Miroku let out a hearty chuckle, and shook his head.

"Ah, Kagome, it's just common for you to have.. entertaining dreams about me."

Kagome sweat-dropped.

"What do you mean by entertaining?" Kagome asked through gritted teeth.

"Kagome, what I'm trying to say is.. it's normal! You're not the first one to be attracted to me," Miroku said, in all seriousness.

THAT did it.

"SIT!" Kagome shouted.

WHAM.

"BITCH!"

Kagome froze.

"Oh my gosh," she stuttered. "Inuyasha! I'm so sorry!"

Inuyasha muttered under his breath from up ahead, and pushed himself out of the little hole that he had imprinted in the earth on account of Kagome's command.

"What the HELL was that for?!"

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry! I meant.. for.. Miroku.." she trailed off.

She NEEDED to get a necklace like Inuyasha's for Miroku.

"Yeah, sure," Inuyasha mumbled bitterly. "Stupid girl."

"Way to go, Kagome!" Shippou cheered.

Inuyasha's frustrations quickly turned to the kitsune, staring him down with a death glare.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, SHIPPOU!" Inuyasha growled.

This was all too familiar.

Shippou took off running up ahead, and Inuyasha darted right after him.

This was getting too creepy.

..mustn't.. look.. at.. Miroku!
