Chapter 2
Kagome left the hut to find Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Inuyasha were standing by a tree staring at her. She walked towards them, feeling better now that she was wearing her old school outfit.
"Hey guys, whatcha wanna do?"
"Aren't you still hurt?" Sango asked, looking her over.
"Nope, Lady Kaede really knows what she's doing with that herb stuff." Kagome chuckled.
"I still can't believe it!" Shippo said, which was soon followed by three "Neither can I!"s .
"Hey Inuyahsa, wanna show me how everything, um, works? I want to get used to being a hanyou." called Kagome, who was doing cartwheels in the meadow ahead of them.
"Hehe... she forgets that she's wearing a skirt..." giggled Miroku. *SMACK!*
Miroku had been hit by Sango and Inuyasha at the same time and now lay in a crumpled heap on the ground with a red handprint on his right cheek and a bump on his head, knocked out cold.
"Perv!" "Lecher!"
Kagome skidded to a stop when she saw Miroku. "What did he.."
"Come on Kagome, I haven't got all day!" yelled Inuyasha as he ran ahead of her into the forest. She gladly took the opportunity to test out her new speed as she sped after him.
'Wow!' breathed Kagome to herself, 'I can't believe how fast I can run! This has got to be the greatest feeling ever! I can smell everything around me too... hmmm, I smell all kinds of stuff, but what's that? It smells so good...' She skidded to a stop, causing Inuyasha to turn and look at her.
"What are you stopping for? Don't tell me you're tired already!" He slowly approached her and glared at her. "What are you doing?"
She sniffed around to see where the smell was coming from, until she turned to face him and realized... "Inuyasha you smell really good!"
He blushed as she grasped his shirt, pulling herself closer to his body and breathing deeply.
"Um.. thanks.." he said, not trying to sound too eager. 'Wow this feels great... I hope she doesn't let go...'
Kagome realized what she was doing and pushed away, giggling. "Hehe, sorry." She wasn't really ready to let go, but felt she was a little close... besides, she didn't like him like that or anything! Why had she hugged him?
'Damn' thought Inuyasha as she stepped away from him.
"Sorry.. . you just smell good..." she whispered, all while trying to hide her blushing face by looking at her feet.
"It must be weird to have to adjust to all of this so fast." He said, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah," she said, "but I love it!" After saying this she jumped 20 feet to an open branch calling to Inuyasha "Catch me if you can!"
'Just wait,' he chuckled to himself, 'I'll get you sooner than you think.'
She leapt from tree to tree, laughing the whole time and checking to see how far behind he was every few seconds.
After about thirty seconds of this she turned and found that he was gone... *THUD*
She crashed into something warm that wrapped it's arms around her.
"Jeez Inuyasha, you scared the crap out of me!" she cried.
"Hahaha, I knew you weren't that fast, and you thought you could outrun me!" he laughed.
'Why do I love having him hold me like this?'
'I never realized how beautiful her she was before, I guess her hanyou ears and gold eyes really set it off...'
They were still holding on when they both looked at the other. Kagome's breathing sped up and her heart was pounding in her chest. 'Why do I feel this way? I know he doesn't.'
'What is wrong me? Why have I never seen her look this beautiful? Am I falling... no way!' thought Inuyahsa.
As they stared into each other's eyes their faces moved closer together as his hands moved slowly down her back and came to rest around her waist.
'Wow look at those eyes! I never noticed how easily you can get lost in them... I never noticed how hot he is either...' Kagome closed her eyes and the world around her seemed to disappear as her lips met his.
'Is this really happening?' he thought as he slowly closed his eyes and raised a hand to run it through her hair.
"Are we interrupting something?" laughed Miroku as he, Sango, and Shippo looked up to the branch above them with mouths hanging open in disbelief.
Both Kagome and Inuyasha jumped back in both surprise and embarrassment. Both of their faces were beet red and they looked away at the sky. The others below them were trying hard to stifle a laugh.
"We were just... talking..." said Kagome as she jumped off the branch and landed delicately on her feet.
"I've never done any talking that involved mouth to mouth contact" Sango said while smirking.
"You should talk to me sometime." Whispered Miroku as he smelled her hair. *Slap*
"Let's just head back to the village." Grunted Inuyasha as he landed on the ground. "Wait what was that?!"
"I heard it too!" yelled Kagome. "And I sense 3 jewel shards..."
"Well, what are we waiting for?" cried Sango.
They all took off down the trail and ran out into a clearing where they found a wolf demon, his black hair pulled into a high ponytail, fighting a woman holding a fan and with her hair pulled back with a feather...
