Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha, but you don't have to rub it in!!!
Sorry to all those who have waited for me to get my butt in gear. I don't want to get on the bad side of a bunch of readers!! *hides under computer desk* I'll try harder to write from now on! I swear!! On with the story!
A couple days had past, and Inu Yasha wounds were now fully healed. They had started back on the road, and were grateful for the time they had alone. After a few days of traveling, the companions came upon a village in distress. When they asked what had happened, the villagers had screamed and tried to attack Inu Yasha. Since he was used to this kind of treatment, he grabbed the shocked Kagome and took off running. When they were a safe distance away, he set her down. But all she was doing was starting into space. He waved his hands in front of her, but she just kept staring. Then another idea popped into his mind. Kneeling down in front of her, he leaned in and kissed her. That woke her up.
She felt the soft press of lips on hers. They felt familiar, really familiar. Inu Yasha…she thought, and kissed him back. He was a little surprised, but soon deepened the kiss. A few minutes passed, and Kagome was in Inu Yasha's lap when she broke the kiss for air. She grinned sheepishly and went to stand up when his arms wrapped around her and held her closer to his chest. "Lets just stay here awhile longer. I wasn't expecting to get that kind of reaction from a village."
"Okay." She mumbled as she buried her face into his chest. After taking a few deep breaths, she began to doze.
The sun was starting to set and he didn't want to wake the sleeping Kagome. Sighing inwardly he gently shook her awake. "Come, it's time to get a move on. I want to find a good camp before it gets all the way dark."
When she looked around she saw they were in the middle of a large clearing, out in plain view of any passerby's. "Eek!" She shrieked. "Why did you let us stay here? Someone could have walked right up and killed us!"
Inu Yasha just kind of looked at her. Then slowly, he lifted one clawed hand and pointed to his swiveling ears. "Oh yeah, hehehe…"
"Yeah," Was all he said. He waited for her to grab her bag and they set off in search of a better camp. After a few minutes of wandering through a forest, Inu Yasha spotted a good place. Motioning for Kagome to set her bag down and rest, he walked off a little further and gathered some firewood. When he had a good sized pile, Kagome threw him the bag of matches. Every once in a while he would add another log until the fire was well built and burning brightly. They ate dinner and then rolled out Kagome's sleeping bag. Quite conversation carried on for a few hours while they laid in each others arms. Then the rustling leaves and chirping of crickets lulled them to sleep.
Morning found Kagome still asleep on her sleeping bag. When she sat up she saw Inu Yasha staring off into space by the fire. "Good morning." She called to him.
He didn't seem to hear her at first, and when she opened her mouth to speak again, he jerked to life and smiled. Then he walked over and kissed her. "Good morning to you to."
"What are the plans for today?"
"We haven't had much luck with finding shards here, so I was thinking about traveling in a different direction today. We'll stop by the well so you can get supplies and I'll see if Sango, Miroku and Shippo are back yet."
"Alright. Did you already eat?" She asked him while rolling up the sleeping bag.
"Yeah. You go ahead and eat though. I'll wait." He sat back by the fire and watched as she ate.
When she was finished they headed back towards Kaede's to check on their friends.
I know, bad, short chapter, but…I'm having writers block!!! I'm going to think up some cool stuff here really soon…you just wait!!! *starts meditating for next chapter*
