Kagome looked up at Kouga trying to see his expression at seeing her crying. Blinking away her tears she saw him with a worried look on his face. He slowly raised his hand to her face and traced her tears down her cheek to her chin.

"Kagome...what's wrong?" He whispered softly. "What happened?"

All of a sudden the tears rushed back to her eyes and sped down her face. She stood there sobbing, knees trembling. She about collapsed to the ground but Kouga caught her just in time. He sat down with her and wrapped his arms around her, letting her cry. She sobbed there in his arms for what seemed like hours. She cried till she ran out of water, then she just leaned against him breathing in his sent.

Kouga couldn't figure out what was wrong, she just started crying. He guessed it had to do with Inuyasha, in fact, he was sure of it. He couldn't see how anything else could make her so upset. He silently comforted her, holding her and cooing at her, saying that everything would be alright.

After awhile, she stopped, he thought that she was gonna stand up and yell at him for butting into her business but she just stayed there with him. He was then glad that whatever happened did because it gave them a moment together. He rubbed his nose into her hair and breathed in deeply, taking in her scent.

She then fell asleep against him. He realized it when her grip loosened and her breathing evened out. He cautiously laid her down on the grass, so not to wake her up and laid next to her. *I'm only doing this to keep her warm.* He thought. But he wasn't fooling himself. He knew he just wanted to be close to her. He snuggled against her and kissed her cheek softly. Then he too fell asleep.

*~*~*~*~*~Kagome's Dream sequence~*~*~*~*~*~

She was walking through the forest, looking for something. She then came across Kikyo and Inuyasha talking. Then Kikyo convinced him that she was better than Kagome and kissed him.

She watched as Inuyasha's _expression turned from surprised to willing. He then started whispering how he always knew that. Then they both turned to where she was standing and started to laugh at her.

"What's the matter, Kagome?" Kikyo laughed. "Did you actually think that he returned your stupid affections!?" They then started to run after her laughing and taunting her. Screeching at her to keep running, and that it wouldn't help.

Then ahead of her she saw the back and tail of someone, "Kouga!! Help me!"

He then turned around and ran toward her. "Kagome!!!" He called to her. She leaped into his arms and held on to him. Inuyasha and Kikyo stopped with looks of horror on their faces and started to scream.

Kagome jump up from her sleep. After she calmed her breathing she looked down to her side to see Kouga lying next to her. She then laid back down and fell into a dreamless sleep.
