I really love the show (without being an annoying, rabid, fan girl about it!) and hope that you like my little story here. Little of course being an understatement!

Disclaimer: I don't own them, (but I rule you!) I'm just borrowing them for a little while. Sorry if I spell any names wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're correct.

Summary: For the sake of all that is Inuyasha, the character's names will stay the same though the roles have changed. This is a KagxInu fic, and Kikyou will not be appearing, but there will be other conflicts, don't worry.

Scroll 6

"What is it?" she repeated, her eyes searching for something unknown to her. Her breath was caught in her chest when he slipped his hand over hers and grasped it tightly, then suddenly tossing her over into the lake. Kagome splashed around near the bottom until she opened her smokey-blue eyes and drifted to the surface, lungs afire.

"What are you doing?!" she sputtered, choking on the water. She paddled to the edge, gasping for air.

He merely grinned and pulled over the outer layer of his clothing and tossed it to the side. Now he only wore his pants and the clothes underneath. The maiden turned her head away and blushed, even if he was fully clothed. Inuyasha jumped into the pool, drenching Kagome in a gigantic wave.

"Yasha-!" she giggled playfully, splashing water back at him, 'I shall have my revenge yet.'

The hanyou doggy-paddled to her, his eyes lit up as he drew nearer. "What are you doing?"

The only answer was the continuous smile playing on his face as he leaned foreword to place a small peck on her cheek, and then roared as he kicked up water at her when he swam away on his back.

'Why is he playing games with me?' she pondered, her eyes questioning his actions. 'What does he want?'

Forgetting these thoughts momentarily, she gave in and started to chase him, occasionally having water jump up at her, then retaliated with her own series of 'attacks'. The entire time, neither spoke, only trying to dominate the other, wondering who would surrender first.

After a few hours, both had grown tired, though neither willing to give up so easily. At last the hanyou drew his breath, then plunged underneath the water. Her eyes searched the water, trying to guess where he'd pop up next.

Inuyasha shot up through the water inches in front of her and she shielded her eyes, expecting the worst. When the water rose around him he touched her neck, then planted a wet (literally) kiss on her slightly open mouth that formed an 'O'. Their lips had locked together in an instant as she gave herself into his embrace fully, and then kissed him back with equal force.

The hanyou drew away and lightly sucked on her bottom lip, his hands taking the time to trace her back or run through her hair. "Yasha" Her long, delicate hands too raked through his main, then outlining the muscles on his back and shoulders.

Soon the need for air was too great and Kagome had reluctantly pulled back, only to be pulled back in. "Yasha," she mumbled uncomfortably, as she pressed her hands against his chest to break away. He either pretended he didn't hear her or simply didn't care, whichever was the case, his hands soon relaxed themselves on her him and neck.

Kagome couldn't take much more of this, and found herself laying her hand across his face with all the force she could muster, her heart beating against her ribs. "Yasha" she groaned, then quickly pulling her hand back.

'What have I done?' she asked her self, staring at it. 'What have I done?'

He finally pulled back and rubbed his sore cheek; bewildered that she had done it was again.

Fresh droplets crystallized in her eyes, then streamed down both sides of her face. "Yasha†I" Without thinking she climbed out of the lake, then shivered, even though it wasn't cold. She brought her knees together and clasped her hands, then buried her face in her lap. "Yasha" she gasped under her breath.

"If you're going to tell me something, just say it," he growled. He was wadding in the center, not taking his eyes off of her. His eyes twitched when he noticed the salt in the air and her soft weeping.

"You scared me. You wouldn't stop, I had to do something or" she stopped in mid-sob, then shuddered.

"Or what?"

"Or you would have forced yourself on me" she looked up at his now expressionless eyes, wondering what he was thinking now. 'Do you even care?'

He simply got out and kneeled beside her, brushing away her mangled hair then wiped away some of her tears, trying his hardest to contain his anger. What was he supposed to make of it? Did she even know what she wanted?

The hanyou shrugged then rolled his eyes, wondering what the heck she wanted him to say. "Look," he grunted, wiping away a few more tears, "I didn't Well."

"Just say it," Kagome mocked, her eyes never leaving his.

He groaned, 'Why the hell does she have to be so difficult?'

His eyes narrowed, trying to think of a reason. "What do you want me to say?" he bellowed, grabbing his head with both hands. "I don't know what the hell you expect me to do, and I don't care anymore! I don't care! Just screw it!"

Taken aback she held out her hand for a moment before pulling it back. "You cared?" she stammered.

He grunted and turned away, his arms folded. "How the hell should I know?"

"Please don't be angry with me," she pleaded. Kagome took a step towards him, wondering if he would snap at her again. "How am I supposed to feel? Should I feel sorry for you and your pathetic little life or am I supposed to know that too?" he added coldly.

"Inuyasha I'm not going to apologize for something I didn't do. I defended myself If it's going to be this way Then you might as well leave. I don't understand what you want, not fully." Kagome wondered if she should have said that, but there was no turning back now.

"Just leave," he stated flatly, not looking back. She bit her bottom lip, her eyes filling with tears. "Fine," she whispered. Kagome picked up her kimono and at first walked with dignity, not daring to look back. 'I'm better off now, It's going to be alright,' she assured herself.

As soon as she reached the forest, her heart and body betrayed her, and she ran. Her limbs burned and her vision was blurred, but she dared not to look back. She couldn't. Looking back meant going back to him, it meant surrendering herself to him, and that was something she simply couldn't do. 'I won't apologize! I won't!'

He felt the same.
