Chapter two - While you were sleeping
This night the moon was new and Inu-Yasha's hair was black once more. His dog ears gone from the top of his head and human ones present at the sides. His nails blunt and fangs normal size for humans.
It also meant he was as weak as a human tonight and stayed on the campsite floor.
Inu-Yasha was leaning against the tree's trunk and stared into the dwindling campfire. The flame can always captivate an eager watcher and keep them entranced by her smooth dance with the wind. Inu-Yasha was going to let the flame dance until she ran out of energy but a shiver from the body between him and the flame brought him out of his stupor.
Kagome's body was feeling the effect of the ever-growing smaller fire. It was an unusually chilly night, hence why the fire had been let to last thus far. Inu-Yasha rose from his spot and went off into the woods.
Without the aid of his hanyou power to cut wood, Inu-Yasha searched for dry branches. After collecting an armful he made his way back to the campsite.
Inu-Yasha squatted down and started to feed the little flame branches. When the flame grew and warmed the area again Inu-Yasha made his way back to his spot and sat down.
He leaned his head back and thought of the previous night. He had finally told Kagome how he felt. He had held her and she had returned the feeling. Upon returning to the campsite they found the others still sound asleep, the young kitsune tossing in a nightmare. Kagome had squeezed his hand and gave him a look that melted his heart before releasing it and heading for Shippo. Inu-Yasha had flushed deeply and understood what she meant. He had jumped back up onto his branch while Kagome gently shook Shippo awake and comforted the scared kitsune. Inu-Yasha had watched the whole time from the branch as Kagome held him as he cried and rocked him, and herself, back to sleep. The air had been slightly chilled last night as well and Inu-Yasha jumped down to cover them with Kagome's sleeping bag.
Tonight was considerably colder and the effects of fall were taking over. Inu-Yasha picked his head back up to watch Kagome as she lay by the fire. He noticed the shiver now and then she still gave despite the roaring fire. She turned in her sleeping bag and was now facing him. Her face showed a slight discomfort.
"Inu-Yasha."
He moved closer at the mention of his name.
"Kagome?" He answered quietly.
She just shivered and repeated his name again. Inu-Yasha laid down next to her and drew her, and the bundle she was in, close to him. She smiled slightly in her subconscious.
"Inu-Yasha." She breathed more warmly.
He blushed at the closeness but her shivers had stopped and he continued to hold her. He watched the contours of her face slowly return to that of a normal sleeping state and felt her body move as close into his hold as it could, seeking warmth.
Inu-Yasha's body became drowsy with the warmth and he nodded in and out of sleep. Thoughts of that day flashed in and out.
When they had woken up nothing had changed. Everyone had acted and talked the same. Kagome had noticed a certain someone had covered her and Shippo with her sleeping bag. When Inu-Yasha had finally left his perch and joined the group on the floor Kagome had come up and given him a hug. She had said thank you for the sleeping bag and set to making food like always. This strange occurrence had not gone unnoticed by Miroku, Sango, and Shippo, but they kept quiet and only Inu-Yasha was left with a blushed face.
Later in the day when they had been traveling Miroku had offered to push Kagome's bike and she gladly allowed him to. She had hung back a little so that Inu-Yasha and her were behind the other three. She had at first just brushed the back of her hand against Inu-Yasha's, but when he hadn't gotten the idea to grab it she slipped her fingers down his palm and intertwined their hands. This had caused coloring in both their faces but the moment lasted for awhile as the group ahead of them was occupied in their own heated conversation. Inu-Yasha had been enjoying it when Kagome had suddenly broken the hold when Sango had called for her. She gave him a quick smile before trotting up to her side. Sango had whispered something into Kagome's ear that had caused her to blush furiously and nod her head before looking back at Inu-Yasha and giving him one of those heart melting looks again. Of course it was ruined when she tripped from not paying attention to the path they were taking. He had laughed when she had gotten up with dirt smudged on her face. He had thought it was cute, but a laugh obviously was the wrong way to go. Miroku had raised his hand slightly to get his attention, but it had been too late.
"Sit!" Kagome had yelled.
His face met dirt as well. He had quickly rebounded ready to get in her face. She had taken one look at him and started with a giggle, which turned into a laugh. He had found it unbelievable she was laughing.
"Your face, it's smudged with dirt." She said to explain her laughter.
"Yeah, well yours is too." He said folding his arms under his sleeves, not amused anymore.
"Oh it is? That's why you were laughing?" She had said while her laughter died down.
Inu-Yasha hadn't answered, he continued to pout.
"Oh I'm sorry." She had said to no avail. "Come on Inu-Yasha."
Kagome had gotten on her tiptoes and had given him a peck on the cheek.
Inu-Yasha blushed at the memory. That was the closest thing they had to a kiss so far. His eyes opened slightly coming out of the memory and Kagome's face was mere inches from his. He closed his eyes again and drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I would like to thank my one reviewer so far, Heather Christi. I wasn't going to write this story any further, but if one reviewer could get me to write another chapter, imagine what many reviewers would cause! Next chapter will hopefully have some demon and shards in it, I tend to focus on romance and forget the action, but I can write action. And what's going to happen when Kagome wakes up in an Inu-Yasha taco? I want to be in a Sesshoumaru taco, but that's beside the point. Plus, he'd have to get over the fact I'm human. Rin is an inspiration to us all! *Clears throat * Please just leave a review. * bows * Arigato-gozaimasu.
