Inuyasha's cabin
Inuyasha rushed over to the fire pit and laid Sango down in front of it. He then put their weapon down in a corner of the cabin. Then he started to build a fire, once that was done he started to think about some thing Kagome told him and the others about.
FLASHBACK
Kagome and the others were sitting around the fire looking though her schoolbooks. Miroku had the Medical book.
Miroku: Lady Kagome, what is Hypothermia?
Kagome: Well, Hypothermia is when some one gets really cold and their body starts to shut down.
Miroku: Yes, Lady Kagome, but how do you treat it?"
Kagome: First you get into a closed space and find a blanket or something to cover them with, then you take off all their wet clothes and wrap them up in something warm. If that doesn't work then you might have to use body heat. If that is the case then you have to remove all of your wet clothes and help them warm up but at the same time you have to stay warm as well.
Miroku at this point just smiled and said.
Miroku: What happens if all your clothes and theirs …
He was cut off by Kaede.
Kaede: SIT! Don't you finish that sentence you, lechous monk.
END OF FLASHBACK
'Oh god, she is going to sit me so many times for this. I'll probably be the size of Myoga when she's done with me.' He prayed that her swimsuit was dry. And he was in luck because it was. 'Thank you.' He wraped her in the blanket and pulled her as close as possible to the fire. When he saw her skin go back to normal color then he got up, to make sure the door was locked, before sitting against a wall and fell into a light sleep. (He is sitting against the wall that is closest to Sesshomaru and Kagome. You know, just in case. lol)
Meanwhile in Sesshomaru's cabin
He knew what to do right a way so he got down to work. 'Kagome please be okay…I… love…you…' while letting his thoughts trail off he started to make a fire. He put their weapons in the corner and put Kagome next to the fire. Kagome's swimsuit was dry so he wraped her up in the blanket to warm her up. Once her skin was back to her normal color that's when he stopped rubbing her arms and he got up from sitting next to her, and locked the door (just in case, anyone came) before going, and sitting against a wall and started to close his eyes to rest. A couple minutes later he realized that he was starting to get cold and that's when it hit him, in the hurry to find the girls they for got to get their clothes from the spring. In fact all he was able to get was the two blankets of with Inuyasha and Sango had one and he and Kagome the other. He won't dare to go under the blanket Kagome was wraped in because of what Inuyasha said and because he might turn into his old self. A few moments later Kagome woke up, she moaned with pleasure at how warm it was. She sat up slowly and looked around she seemed to be in a cabin of some sort. She was next to a fire and was wraped up in a blanket. 'I wonder who brought me here. Was it Sango or was I kidnapped or something.' A voice came from behind her.
Sesshomaru: Are you warm now?
She jumped and turned around to face the voice.
Kagome: Sessy, you scared the crap out of me.
Sesshomaru smiled a bit at the sight of seeing her awake and that she was okay.
Sesshomaru: Oh sorry, Kagome.
Now it was Kagome's turn to smile. She looked around and realized that she and him were the only ones there. She jumped to her feet.
Kagome: Where are Sango and Inuyasha?
Sesshomaru looked startled but snapped out of it.
Sesshomaru: They are in the cabin next to us. Now come, and sit next to me, so we can trade information.
Kagome sat in front of Sesshomaru, so she could see him eye to eye.
Kagome: What do you want to know?
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome.
Sesshomaru: Why did Sango lie about sensing the jewel to the east?
Kagome bow her head, to avoid his eyes and to hide her blush.
Kagome: She lied because She didn't want you two to get hurt again. Because last time it was all our fault that we lost and you two got hurt and had to carry us at the same time.
Sesshomaru lifted her face so that he could see her eyes, she was crying.
Sesshomaru: Kagome, it wasn't yours or Sango's faults. It wasn't any of ours. It just happened and sometimes something happens for a reason. Maybe it wasn't time for us to win. At least not yet.
Kagome smiled and leaned over to give him a hug. Kagome was starting to get cold. That's when she realized that they were still in their swim suits and they were very close to each other, but she didn't care she liked being this close to him. But now it really was getting cold.
Kagome: Sessy? Where are our clothes?"
Sesshomaru blushed, he just remember were their clothes were.
Sesshomaru: I think they are still at the hot spring. When Inuyasha and I realized that we were going the wrong way, we turned and started to head off in the direction that you, girls, were in. I was only able to locate two blankets.
Kagome looked around and spotted only one blanket.
Kagome: Uh, Sesshomaru, where's the other blanket?
Sesshomaru: We have one blanket and Inu and Sango have the other.
Kagome got up and walked over to the blanket, she then sat down with it wraped around her, when she spoke she was blushing.
Kagome: I guess we have to share it then since we're basically wearing nothing, but our swim suits.
Sesshomaru had totally forgot that they would have to share the blanket, he had a lump in his throat but he swallowed it.
Sesshomaru: You could always take it. I could sit here. You know it's not even that cold.
'Yeah right' he thought to himself. Kagome wasn't going to fall for that.
Kagome: Sesshomaru, you are freezing. I mean look at you you're turning blue. So stop being a dumb ass and get that ass of your under here.
Sesshomaru almost fell over with shock 'She cares that much about me.' He got up and sat next to her, while he thought to himself 'Or is it just she needs me to keep her warm for just tonight, then she would pretend it never happened.' While he thought that she was thinking 'Does he really hate me that much, that he would rather die than be under a blanket with me just for one night. ' She couldn't hold it, any more. She started to cry. This caught Sesshomaru by surprise.
Sesshomaru: Kagome, why are you crying?
Between sob Kagome managed to say.
Kagome: I'm… crying… because you… hate …me.
These words hurt him the most. Sesshomaru: Kagome, my love, stop crying I don't hate you. In fact, it is the opposite.
He turned his head so she couldn't see the tears going down his face. 'She thinks I hate her. How can I hate someone I love so much, even life it self isn't as important as her, at least to me. This is just, too much for me to handle. I have to tell her, right here right now.' He made himself look at Kagome, in her eyes. Which held so much pain and understanding.
Sesshomaru: Kagome, I…I… I love… you.
Kagome couldn't help but smile.
Kagome: I love…you…too, Sesshomaru. (FINALLY! YES! YEAH! :-)
Sesshomaru leaned his head down and captured her lip in a light passionate kiss. They laid down facing each other and fell asleep. (Aww! They are sleeping in each other arms. How cute!)
Meanwhile in Inuyasha's cabin
Sango started to wake up. It was freezing. She looked around the cabin and spotted Inuyasha. Getting up with the blanket wraped around her, she sat in front of Inuyasha. Inuyasha had heard her sit in front of him so he opened his eyes.
Inuyasha: Sango, are you okay? Do you remember what happened?
Sango thought for a minute.
Sango: Yeah, Kagome and me were walking when it started to snow. We tried to turn back but something hit me and I don't remember what happened next.
Inuyasha smiled and gave her a hug.
Inuyasha: I'm just so happy that you're alive. I don't know what we would do without you.
Sango: Inuyasha, I can't believe you said that.
Inuyasha was taken by surprise by her words.
Inuyasha: What did I say?
Sango was really mad.
Sango: The only reason that your happy that i'm alive is because you still have your shard detector. That's all I am to you.
Inuyasha was shocked.
Inuyasha: Sango, how could you say that. I…I…I love you.
He looked away but turned to face her after hearing her next words.
Sango: Inuyasha, I… love you too.
Inuyasha gave Sango a light kiss on the lips.
Inuyasha: Sango?
She looked at Inuyasha.
Sango: Yes, Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: Sango, will you be my mate?
Sango: I would love to be your mate, Inuyasha.
Then they kissed and they fell asleep, holding each other.
