*Author Notes: Not too much to say. I found it necessary to put in a sub-romance besides Inuyasha and Kagome.
And now...Reviewer thankies!
D.g. and Crew: As always, your review brings a laugh, a smile, and a call to the psycoligist for you all. I have a single question. Kumomitsukai? Cloud Angel?
Cloud Dragon: Beautiful name my friend! Besides that, thanks for the support. I'm sorry for your story, but hey, life is annoying like that, dont give up, ever. Sorry, I never got to see spirited away sadly, it never came out by my area.
RichaCo: Yea...about the whole Miroku appearing and all...did it surprise you? If it did, my plan worked perfectly. I had a great idea about Miroku being in my fic, and I put him in, agaisnt what I said earlier. He is just a great character to have, like Sango and Shippou. Oh, and about them, uhhhh........lets not comment on their future roles in the story, it might reveal.
Seproth: Dude man, I totally agree with you about Sephiroth. But calm down a bit about the whole villains thing. Trust me, you'll be surprised later, they are coming, and thats before all the main characters arrive, maybe even sooner, like, now. Oh, that and...
Vixie: For anyone who doesn't know, she emailed me personally after the website wouldn't let her review. Thanks for the letter!
Moongazer: Um...are you psycic? Its creepy, because right before reading your review I was thinking about Sakura. Then reading your review, it scared me man! But dont worry, there is a character from 'Kingdom Hearts' coming.
eddie: Sorry about the cliff, but it makes things more suspenseful. I hate it too, but it always makes me want to read the story more.
Meh!: Happens to the best of us.
Demon Ashika: Yeah we can, but its harder than you think.
TalonKarrde: Your not alone, Im scared of Erika myself. Keep that blaster handy.
Chapter 21:
Embarrassing situations
A single tear fell. It fell down her cheek, then down to his face. The tiny droplet of water ran down his cheek, to fall to the floor. It was followed by another. And another.
"Got it!" Kenshin said triumphantly.
The small flame of the stove lit the room in an eerie light. It flickered but stayed, thus illuminating the sad scene of the party. Inuyasha crouched over Kagome, Brat crouched over Cloud, Miroku crouched over Erika, D.g. sitting beside Brat, and Kenshin fiddling with the stove. Sad.
"Kagome, wake up!"
Kenshin stood beside Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, calm down. You cant help her by yelling at her."
Inuyasha didn't answer. He knew that. But still...he felt powerless to help her. That was when he a string of intelligent thought. The wet blanket wasn't helping her, he tossed it. She needed warmth. He tossed his fire rat coat-thingy, it was wet, and pulled her against him. Hopefully his heat could help her a little. Damn, her shirt was very wet. He needed to...get rid of it...
He froze. Last thing he wanted to do. Oh well, shit happens. And THIS, was embarrassing shit. He pulled of his inner shirt and put it down beside him. He averted his eyes and as fast as he could without ruining it, pulled her shirt off. Ignoring the 'obstuctions' she had, he wrapped his shirt around her slowly and carefully, keeping his hands the maximum distance.
Breath.
He wrapped his arms around her and slowly went to lean against the box beside where Kenshin had lit the stove. He held her tightly around the waist, keeping her body as close to his as possible. Her skin started to warm up, and her breathing had relaxed. He sighed in satisfaction at her condition, and slowly...quietly...fell asleep...
***
"Oh god! Cloud!"
Brat fumbled with Cloud's single shoulder plate. It was keeping her from getting him out of his wet shirt. A loud click told her of her success, and she pulled the plate to the floor. She she worked his shirt off his body. She gasped. Her face turned red, very red, very, very red. Though her original blush came from his well toned body, the additional color came from the staring from D.g.. She ignored it however, to the best of her extent, and drug Cloud over to where the stove was. Inuyasha was already over there with Kagome. Brat pulled him up to the fire, and leaned him up against the wall. The stove cackled a bit, sending a wavering light around the room. Brat took off her small denim vest, cause it was wet and cold, leaving her only in her blue T-shirt.
Scuffle,scuffle.
(I'll leave you all to think up a mental picture of cuddling. I...lets just say I have trouble describing it).
Cloud...dont die...
Please....
***
D.g. eyed Miroku, who ignored it. He had an arm around the unconcious Erika. She was wrapped in his robes. He kept his other hand far away from her, to keep suspicion down.
***
D.g. became suddenly aware of her situation. And she felt jealous. EVERY ONE BUT HER HAD A GUY! She huffed, and looked over at Kenshin. He was just staring off into space. She combed her mind for an excuse to get close to him...
Evil thought.
She 'fainted'.
Seven seconds later...
So warm, D.g. thought to her self. Kenshin had a arm around her and she dozed on his shoulder. She tried to stiffle a giggle as he spoke to himself.
"I cant believe it. Now she's out too. Why me?"
D.g. settled herself for sleep. Kenshin noted her facial change and smiled.
Auras never lie. Ever.
***
Kenshin dozed off to sleep a few minutes later. If he had looked around more, he would have noticed that there was one more person awake. D.g. sniffled softly. Why had it been him? Why was he the one to get sick? Why was he lying there, possibly going to die in the cold? And why, was it he who had made her fell this way...
"No..."
She didn't want him to die, ever. Her tears fell down her arm. She could feel it, feel his life draining from him. She got that deep down feeling that he wasn't going to make it. And she hated that feeling. More tears rolled down her arm.
"No Cloud..."
She wanted to tell herself that he would be okay, that he would wake up. But that feeling forbid it.
"No...Cloud...dont die..."
She turned and lightly touched his face. Why Cloud, why did it have to be you? Why are you the man...
At that moment, all the pent up sorrow within her was unleashed, and she cried. She cried until she finally fell asleep.
The place where her hand had touched his face glowed.

*Author note: I'm going to say it now. I am really sorry for the wait. I had so many thing to do. Oh, and besides that, I am going to say that I had a hard time writing the romanticism in this chapter. It was even harder for a femal perspective, mainly due to the fact I have no idea what goes on in a situation like that. I hope I pulled it off right, but I have to comment on something. Do you think the quality of my chapters are going down? I get the feeling they are. Please tell me if you agree.*
