Kagome and Inu Yasha made heavy breaths as they finish their little quarrel.

"I dare you..." Kagome growled as Inu Yasha raised his hand threateningly. Kagome stared coolly into his eyes. She gave him the "I-know-you-won't-do-it" look.

"You give me permission?" he said with a frown.

"Full permission" she said slowly. But now she knew she would. His hand began down towards her.

"SIT BOY!" she growled again. But since he was practically in her lap, he forced her under too. They pushed each other as they resurfaced. Kagome spit the water which had recently entered her mouth, out.

"Why'd you do that?!" she snarled. She turned to Inu Yasha who was trying to hold back a laugh.

"WHAT?!" she yelled. His ears flattened, but he laughed again.

"Your hair!" she looked like Uncle It.

"Yeah you should talk, you look like a wet dog!" she teased, his hair was flat against his face and back.

"Shut up!" he growled.

"No you shut up!" she snapped back.

"No you!"

"YOU!" she finally settled it.

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Toy with me like that!"

"What are you saying?"

"You lead me on too much!"

"WHAT?!" Kagome growled.

"Right when I'm having a 'good time' you always snap back!" Inu Yasha glared at her.

"You don't know anything-" she snarled, "-I hate you."

"Except you don't."

"Yeah right!" Kagome frowned as she swam over to a rock, and sat down. It was pretty deep down, but still a lot of her chest was visible.

Inu Yasha heart pounded upon seeing her like this, "Y-Yeah, you even said it!"

"When?" she said with a bored face.

"The night you came!"

Kagome had been caught. 'I thought he forgot!'. She gulped and they stared at each other.

"I don't love you!"

"Then you lie, that's not very honorable way to lie, it's disgusting to lie about 'love'"

"Yeah well I'm not the only person who leads people on!" she snapped.

"I didn't ever lead you on!"

"Yes you did! One minute you're nice and I think you like me, the next you're a total jerk!" Kagome knew this was going nowhere, she'd never win, he was too stubborn.

"I said I liked you and I meant it!"

"Liar, stupid Baka!" Kagome snapped.

"I'm not a liar or an idiot!" he approached Kagome.

"Yes you are, don't try to improve the situation by saying you like me!"

"I do like you, a lot!"

Kagome realized for once, whenever he was honest, she was mean. She had never noticed when he was being sincere because she never believed him. What if she did believe him for once? Would it hurt her?

"Prove it!"

It was test, a challenge. Kagome began floating around the hot spring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you think is happening?" Sango began to dress.

"Do you have to do that?" Miroku wondered. He was fully clothed in his clean robe.

"Do what?"

"Get dressed!" Miroku grinned. Sango had her back to him and was behind a tree. Sango came out, she had tied her kimono like dress loosely. She walked over to Miroku and slapped him across the face.

"Ouch! Hey what was that for?!"

"Pervert!" she grinned. He kissed her passionately and forced her up against a tree.

"Shh...listen," Miroku sadly pulled his lips away from hers.

"They went silent-" Sango listened. 'Damn you Inu Yasha! Can't you just do something, stall?' he thought that this would be his chance to try and have a child.

"Sango what does it matter?!" Miroku growled.

"What if-" Miroku covered her mouth softly, "They can handle themselves!"

He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers again, this time allowing his hands to wander through the top of her loose garments. (x_x I am not going to get super detailed about that, you know where they are).

"Do you think that they noticed that I left them towels?" Sango pulled away again.

"Damn it Sango!" Miroku yelled, it was the first time ever. Seeing her surprise he stopped, "Can't you just forget about them and think about us?!"

"I'm sorry," she smiled, "I just don't want them to keep fighting?"

"Do you want to go spy on them?" Miroku sighed. She wanted to really badly, but she knew he would just get more anxious, she grabbed his hand.

"No-" she smiled. She kissed him again, but it was real.

"Come on-" Miroku held her hand and led her back to the hot spring. As they walked, Sango fastened her dress more snuggly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inu Yasha pushed Kagome up against the side of the hot spring again. This time his hands were right next to her shoulders, his arms like bars keeping her from moving.

"What are you-"

Inu Yasha had always loved Kagome, deeply. It wasn't until recently, when she wasn't going back and forth between times that he had really realized how much he did. But it was that Lovers Weed or whatever that had made him feel other things towards her. Lust, love, want, arousal, impatience, sensitivity, property, he didn't want her to leave and go back anymore. Even though it was terrible, he was glad the well was broken or whatever. He was glad she couldn't go back.

But now, more then ever, he felt those six feelings swarm through his veins again. Lust, love, want, arousal, impatience, sensitivity, property and many other emotions he could not place were killing him. He wanted so bad to force himself on her, but he knew she was just push him off. She wasn't his mate. She wasn't "his". He gulped.

"Kagome will-" he thought for a moment. 'Why is he being so nice, so sincere? Why isn't he being rough like usual? What's wrong with him?' Kagome wondered.

"What Inu Yasha?" she whispered softly. She didn't want to ruin the moment. She knew he was trying with all his might to be so innocent, so gentle, it was unlike him. So unlike him, it almost scared her. It made her want to lash out at him, and force him to be himself. But she knew he would just get angry.

"Be my mate Kagome," he pleaded.

"What?" she said her eyes widening.

"Be my mate....please?" Inu Yasha had never used any of these terms 'please', 'thank you', 'your welcome', 'sorry', it was all new, all bizarre. He didn't enjoy it, but if he had to be polite to get her to be his mate, he would be.

"What do you think she'll say?" Sango whispered into Miroku's ear as they watched.

"She'll definitely say 'yes'" he whispered back. She held each other waiting to hear her answer.
