After the encounter with Kaoru, Inuyasha and Kagome didn't really speak to each other. They were too embarrassed. Plus, they were too busy thinking. Thinking if they were really in love with each other.

But Kaoru was living proof that they loved each other. Still, even though each of them was starting to accept it, they still were silent.

"I'm going to take a bath," Sango said and got up from her spot by the fire.

"I'll join you," said Kagome while following her.

As they got to the hot spring (A/N they are always so close by, aren't they?), Sango finally spoke up.

"Kagome do you like Inuyasha?"

Kagome blushed. It was like Sango had read her mind (A/N heh heh... Sinubi...). She hesitated before she answered.

"Well...I like him as a friend!"

Sango gave her a look. "I know that, baka. I mean do you love him?"

"I don't know. We did kiss once. But-"

"You kissed?!"

"...uh yeah. I just don't know. The truth is, I think I am in love..."

"OOH!! I knew it! You two make such a cute couple. So kawaii. Well, I'm going back to camp. Dewa sono uchi ni! (A/N it means see you in a little while. Here it comes Kyle. The part you told me to put in. )"

Kagome just sat there and relaxed. She was so busy thinking how she could ever tell Inuyasha that she was hopelessly in love with him, that she didn't hear a rustle in the bushes.

"Heh heh heh..." the mysterious stranger laughed as they gazed upon the nude Kagome.

She got out of the hot spring and started to put her extra outfit she had packed along (A/N since her school uniform must be so stinky by now. Sorry I keep putting these in... ;;) on. It was a pretty light blue shirt with buttons up the middle and khaki hip huggers. The stranger was enjoying this. In fact, they were drooling.

Since Inuyasha and Miroku had the same conversation that Sango and Kagome previously had, he was also coming to talk to her and confess his love to her. He saw the peeping tom and grabbed them.

"Shippo?!"

Shippo put on an 'innocent' smile and started sweating. "I was only waiting on Kagome!"

"NO YOU WEREN'T!!!" Inuyasha screamed.

"He wasn't what?" said Kagome and she watched as Inuyasha held Shippo to the ground with his foot as he drew the Tetsusaiga.

"Kagome, Shippo was spying on you!!" Inuyasha said and let Shippo run free, but as he did so, he yelled, "Kaze no Kizu!!!" and his famous attack was used once again. As the very bright light began to fade, Kagome and Inuyasha gazed upon Shippo's dead body.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome managed. "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!" she said and hugged him

"You aren't mad?!"

"Are you kidding? Shippo doesn't fight with us and he is only in the way. Plus he is arrogant and all he cares about is the candy I bring him. Do you realize how much that candy costs? I didn't get it from a tree in my backyard I can tell you that!"

And with that idiom, Inuyasha was confused. But he didn't care. Kagome was hugging him and she was smiling. That was all he needed.

She let go of him and got her backpack which was still at the hot spring. She followed him back to camp. They must have been thinking the same thing, because the both checked to see if everyone else was asleep. They were. So Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and led her to a hilltop. He knew how much she liked the stars to he thought it would be a good idea for them to gaze at them while they talked.

Kagome also wanted to talk. She blushed when Inuyasha took her hand buts he went along with it. She was surprise when he led her to a hilltop. She looked up at the stars.

"Kagome. Kaoru is an icon of our love for each other. I only realized how much I loved you until she came along. Kagome I love you so much..."

"I know. I love you too. Inuyasha..."

Their lips met. At first it was only a peck, but when they looked into each others eyes, they could both see the other was longing for more. So they started making out. Kagome could feel Inuyasha trying to get his tongue inside her mouth so she opened it.

He loved the unique taste of her. She leaned her weight on him and put her hand on his chest, pushing him to the ground. She lay atop him, still kissing him and taking short breaths every time they let go.

Then, Inuyasha started to unbutton her shirt. He got to about the fourth button from the top and she moaned as a sign to stop.

He grinned at her with his eyes. It was definitely a Hentai grin. She then broke away from the kiss, panting heavily.

"Inuyasha. We can't do this. Not yet. I'm not ready..."

"Ok. I understand." They got up and walked back down to camp. Inuyasha got a nice view of her ass, wished her a good nights rest and then they went to bed.

A/N: Wow. What a lovey dovey chapter. I feel stupid reading it. It sounds stupid. I'm not satisfied. Oh well. At least Shippo is dead!! HUZZAH! Ding dong the fox is dead! Which old fox? The faggot fox! Ding dong the faggot fox is dead! LOL! that is from watching the wizard of oz in history. I was scared. Then i had to sit in LC and watch it. Some one help me. Oh yeah. That part with Shippo dying- that is Kyle's idea. Give him the credit. Not my idea. His. It is the best damn idea ever though!! I just realized something. Since they are taking Inuyasha off the air and then adding a season when it comes back on, that will be season five, meaning JAKOTSU will be on!!!I LOVE JAKOTSU-SAMA!!!! I LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS KOUGA-KUN!! . Well that is it. I guess. If you have any ideas for me to add in here, tell me. PLEASE RR!
