"Speaking"

'Thinking'

-Scene Change-

/POV Change/

"Cool, a waterfall!" Cassy exclaimed.

"What's so 'cool' about a waterfall?" Kouga asked dryly. He had one right outside his den.

"In my time, you don't really see a lot of these. Certainly not everday!" Cassy said, looking for a place to climb behind the falls. "Over here." Kouga said, leading her behind the mighty rushing of water. "Awesome..." Cassy breathed softly.

Once inside, they both plopped on the floor. Cassy watched the waterfall, mesmerized by the wonder of nature. Kouga on the other hand, decided to watch something way more interesting. Her. Cassy felt his eyes on her and, a light blush tinging her cheeks, averted her gaze to her tail. She flicked it back and forth, still adjusting to ther new appendage. Kouga, acting on impulse, wrapped his own around hers. Cassy looked up at him though her eyelashes, as Kouga flushed slightly, pretending not to notice.

Turning back to the waterfall, she turned her head towards Kouga to say something to him. Kouga, on the other hand, was looking at her again, and by sheer accident, their lips met in a chaste kiss. Kouga was elated with the new development and quickly ran his tongue across her lips, nibbling slightly on her bottom lip, silently asking entrance. Instinctivly, she complied and tasted the sharp, exotically tangy taste of him. He was in heaven, feasting on the refreashing sweetness and wild taste of her mouth. He delved into every corner, not wanting to miss a thing. The couple stayed like that for, to them, seemed an eternity of paradise.

Pulling away to breathe, Kouga opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off as Cassy sneezed into her hand. "Rachelle or Inuyasha." she mumbled. Her mind was still swirling and, Kouga noted smugly, her lips were slightly swollen from the kiss. Kouga sneezed too. Turning towards each other to continue where they left off, when they smelled someone familiar. They looked around.

"Don't mind me," The voice said, "Keep going, it was so cute! I'll dunk you two later, since you guys are caught up in your fluff moment. I am the Dunking King! I mean Queen!"

By now, the two had figured out that the voice was Rachelle. Cassy lept to her feet. "Rachelle!!"

"I always knew you were a smart one." Rachelle teased. "You're a retard!" Cassy exclaimed."Where are you?"

"I'm here too!" Nakita yelled gleefully.

"How long have you two been watching?" Kouga asked.

"Watching? Who said anything about watching? We're merely listening." Rachelle said innocently.

"Listening to what?" Cassy asked confused.

"Your minds! Muwahahahahaha!!!!" Rachelle laughed insanely. "For both of you it was something along the lines of wanting the moment to last forever. Though Cassy's mind was a bit too...confusing...she was really enjoying that kiss!" Rachelle giggled.

"Rachelle I'm going to kill you!!!" Cassy yelled. "How can you kill what's already dead?" Rachelle asked. "Rachelle you moron, you're an angel demon, not a real angel!" Cassy reasoned. "Ohhhh."

Cassy growled, "She's always out to ruin my fluff moments." she mumbled, as she slumped against the wall, looking to the ground. Kouga scooted over to her, and tilted up her chin. He lowered his head to hers for another kiss. Where the first kiss had been sweet and tender, this one was hard and passionate. Pressing her up against the wall, Kouga let his instincts drive him. Cassy's eye's widened as she felt his hands begin to move. Pushing him away, she panted in desperation.

"What the hell was that?" she demanded, holding her chest, trying to catch her breath.

Kouga looked guiltily at her. "I guess I got carried away...I shouldn't have given in to my instincts...not this soon..." he said softly.

"It's alright. Just, a little warning next time."

Kouga brightened considerably after hearing her forgive him so easily. Inching closer, Cassy murmured quietly, "Let's try that one again." as she leaned in.

This kiss lasted a lot longer, with no interruptions, and was gentle and sweet. After a while, they both broke the kiss, eyes shining. Kouga smirked, (Yume: Which was Really cute! ::Gets hit in the head by Mizu:: Sorry! I'll keep my Miroku!) and Cassy smiled back at him.

Standing up, Kouga's hand reached for hers, entwining fingers. They wandered back towards the group, taking their time.

"Finally, what took you guys so long?" Sarah asked, then grinned, "Cassy's all grown up too!"

"Aah! I'm all alone! Cassy, I thought you loved me!!" Nakita exclaimed.

"No, she's my Cassy!!" Sarah yelled.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"Will you shut up already?!" Cassy yelled. "Baka's!!!"

"You saw what happened when Inuyasha called me a baka. So watch out!! I could do the same to you. Muwahaha!" Rachelle declared, running off.

"Get back here, I still have to repay you for earlier!" Cassy taunted, chasing her.

"No thank you." Rachelle said, flying into the air. "Damn you to hell!" Cassy shouted.

"Right, like that'll happen. I'm an angel, I can't go to hell."

"My God. We've been over this. You're an angel demon. You're not special."

Cassy picked up a rock, tossing it up and down in her hand. "Ohhh yeah, like that'll hit me. You couldn't even hit that car with a water balloon." She stopped as rocks pummelled her. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow owwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!" she exclaimed, falling into the water below her.

"Ha ha! Cassy hit you!!" Nakita yelled, jumping into the water. Sarah, Lora, and Miroku followed.

"What was all that about?" Kouga asked Cassy curiously. She grinned and shook her head. Rachelle still hadn't come up. She was probably messing around with them...

"Great. Let's go get the baka." she sighed, slipping out of her clothes to reveal her swimsuit. Kouga pretended not to look, she jumped in to help out her friend. "Come on Kouga."

"I can't swim." Kouga lied.

"Uh-huh. Right. So what do you call what you did when I went into the river at your den?" Cassy said flatly. She came up in front of him, and grabbed his ankle. "Dogs can swim. Now hurry up."

Kouga sighed and dived in. "I'm a wolf!" he reminded irritably. Cassy rolled her eyes, "Same family."

"We can't find her." Miroku said as they approached. Cassy shrugged, and sank under, opening her eyes and scanning the river bed.

A little ways away from them, Rachelle floated to the top, then went higher as a pillar of water lifted her up. Cassy raised an eyebrow.

The figure of a man began to from out of the water next to her. He held Rachelle in his arms. Cassy noticed that she was fighting to keep a straight face.

"Put her down!" Miroku yelled.

The water dude looked down at the monk. His eyes and hair were light blue, his kimono was a darker blue. He was tall and his hair cascaded down his back. "You act like you know this youkai." he said haughtily.

"I do!" Miroku answered angrily.

"So you know what she is capable of? I think not. You wouldn't know as you are a lowly human, not youkai nobility." His voice was deep, powerful.

Cassy glanced at Kouga. "Is there something you haven't told me?" she asked quietly.

"..." He looked at the demon. "I'll tell you later." he answered.

"Put her down!!!" Miroku repeated.

Another spout of water appeared next to the demon. He set Rachelle in it as it formed into a cage.

"He's not going to make this easy, is he." Cassy said.

"Of course not. Do you know what a prize she is? Every one of their race has died out. She must be the last one left." He formed a sword in his hand out of some water. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Murdock, Prince of the Waters."
