Unnatural attraction

She couldn't sleep. The stars seemed to be mocking her, every whisper the wind made through the trees grated along her already raw nerves. Kagome ground her teeth in frustration. Somewhere above her she heard a soft snore. Damn him. Silently she lifted herself out of her bed and exited her tent, intent on going to the stream. It wasn't long walk, and before long she knelt by the cool water and scooped it into her hands, splashing it onto her face.

She let out a breath, a sigh, and looked up into the sky at the dazzling stars. The girl smiled softly, allowing the soothing sight calm her frazzled nerves. Inhaling deeply, she closed her eyes and began to hum. Slowly the hum became a melody, the melody words. Softly she sang to the heavens:

"Sometimes I feel, So all alone..." Her voice said, as she continued to stare at the sky. "Finding myself calling your name..." At this part, a man was supposed to take over, but Kagome sang it anyways. "When we're apart, so far away, hoping it's me that your dreaming of...." What a strange time to think of all her failed romances. Again her voice found the words to the song.

"Could it be true? Could it be Real? My heart says that your the one." Suddenly a strange, masculine voice picked up, right on time.

"THere's no one else, you're the only one for me."

Startled, Kagome looked around, but continued singing, and their voices merged together smoothly into the night. "Yes this time our love's the real thing."

Kagome took over again. "Never felt that love is soo right, the world seems such and empty place." The voice joined her again. "We need someone we can give our lives...." Kagome continued alone from here, "Ooh maybe it's you.." Again he took over. "Oh, We'll be together.." Kagome came in again, smoothly blending their voices. "Now and Forever......."

She looked around, and much to her shock, Inuyasha came out of the trees. "I didn't know you could sing." She greeted. He smiled.

"Ditto." Inuyasha settled himself down next to her. "It's cold out here."

"Hm. Didn't really notice." She said casually, shrugging.

"Hm." He shrugged out of his black leather jacket, revealing the tight long sleeved t-shirt underneath. If Kagome had thought she was cold before, that notion was quick to leave her head as her gaze fell on his nicely toned self. He dropped his coat on her. "There." He said gruffly, trying to ignore her gaze.

She tore her eyes from him and continued to look at the stars, trying to ignore the sexy man next to her, who, unbeknowest to her, was devouring her with his own heated look. He couldn't help himself. He'd never had emotions before, at least never as powerful as the ones he had now. He just didn't know how to control them. "Nice night." He commented, looking at the stars, finally tearing his gaze from her.

"Hmm." She responded lazily, enjoying the feeling of total relaxation she was feeling at the moment. "I don't get to do this often. Stargaze, I mean." Kagome said, still staring at the sky.

Inuyasha looked at her. "Why not?"

She shrugged and looked at him. "Always something to do, something tying me down. Someone's telling me where to go, who I have to see, who I need to talk to. Puts a girl under alot of stress, ya know?"

"Hm. I always got to do whatever I wanted, but I never wanted to stargaze."

"Why not?"

"Just seemed to much of a romantic notion for me. Not a very manly thing to request doing."

She smiled. "Yeah, I guess. But Its' so peaceful. I think everyone should look at the night sky for at least one night of their lives."

"Probably." He paused. "What do you think about when you stargaze?"

"Not much. Sometimes I ponder the meaning of life, sometimes I think about my failed love life, and sometimes I just wonder about God, the universe, and why bread always lands jelly side up." She said with a smile.

He laughed lightly at her final comment. "Failed love life?" Inuyasha asked, "Come on now, you've gotta have at least one man in your life, or at least a few panting at your door."

She shook her head. "Nope. Single and proud. I aint' pretty enough to have guys panting after me, so I'm doomed to a life of singleness." She said, trying to smile. It came out looking painful.

"Don't you get lonely?"

She looked away. Softly she replied, "Yeah, but I deal with it, ya know? It's not so bad. It gives me freedom to be myself and do whatever the hell I want. But sometimes...." She trailed off, not wanting him to know the end of that thought.

"Sometimes....??"

She shook her head. "Nevermind. Just forget it. I'm not sure why I'm telling you this...."

He smirked. "Intuition says you can."

She smiled back at him. "Let's get back to camp." She stood, then with a light blush, added, "Your welcome to share the tent...."

He blushed too. "I just might."

She smiled and turned away so he didn't see her flaming cheeks. In truth, his were just as red.

They headed back together, not speaking. Kagome crawled in her tent, and wondered why she felt dissappointed when Inuyasha went back into his tree. But That didn't matter, because as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.

The sun woke her the next morning as it glared through her eyelids. Before she opened them, she was aware of one thing: Someone had their arms around her. Afraid to look, she cracked one eye and was instantly relaxed. It was Inuyasha. Warmth flooded over her and a sense of security drenched her senses. Kagome decided she didn't want to get up after all, and snuggled into the safe haven of Inuyasha, relishing the relaxed, contented feeling that washed over her as his arms tightened around her, pressing her to him. She pressed her face to his chest, breathing in his masculine, earthy smell. So totally relaxed was she, that she promptly drifted asleep again.

In his slumber, Inuyasha growled contentedly as a feminine scent permeated his nostrils. He was vaguely aware of a warm prescence next to him, and instinctively pressed it closer, enjoying the curvy...

CURVY???!!!!!

WHat the hell??!!!!

His eyes snapped open to reveal Kagome contentedly napping against him. He relaxed, wondering if she realized who she was clinging to. At the moment he really didn't care. He just wanted to stare at her. She looked so peaceful and ethereal,. lying there next to him. He bent his head down and pressed his nose to her hair; her scent was so....different. Feminine, yet independent and sweet. Like a rose; sweet, yet surrounded by thorns. His grip tightened around her as he became more fully aware of other things. Like the tiny little fact that her whole body was pressed against him, one long leg slung over his hips. Oh god. He couldn't get out of this one.

Hell yeah he was turned on, but he couldn't let Kagome know that Teeny little detail. He'd better wake her up before he became ridiculously hard. He tried blowing on her face; she snuggled into his chest. Gently tugging on her hair only caused her to shift her body; Aw HELL! He decided to make a last ditch effort. He began to rub her back, molding her to him. Her breath shortened. He continued rubbing. Finally she looked at him, with passion-darkened eyes, knowing full well he was just as turned on as she was.

"Morning." He said, his voice husky and low, unnerved by the foreign emotion in her eyes. Did he do that? Since when was he that appealing???? And since when couldn't he control himself when he leant in and kissed her???

Kagome's brain was temporarily out of service somewhere in la la land. She simply couldn't stop herself from kissing him back hungrily and pressing her self to Inuyasha even more, grinding her hips to his.

He groaned. That WAS NOT supposed to happen. She was supposed to wake up, snap back to reality, yell at him a few minutes, then get ready to go, Not get busy in the tent! Not get him hard! NO nono! Oh well....Not like he was going to stop her. Well, he should.....

Clinging to that thought, he pulled out of the kiss. That's when she snapped to reality. Every nerve might have been on fire in her body, but they were still being chased for god's sake!

"We gotta get ready to go.." She panted, gathering her thoughts, but still unable to let go of Inuyasha.

"Yeah..." He said, equally as breathless. So much for having no emotions whatsoever. Kagome just threw that dandy little idea out the window.

"So um..."

"You should prolly let go..."

She blushed crimson. "Yeah..." And released him as if she had been burned.

Then he did the totally unexpected. He loomed over her, and kissed her solidly on the lips. Oh hell.

Kagome, once again rendered breathless, asked him in bewilderment, "WHat was that for?"

"Cuz I wanted to."

"I hope you enjoyed it" She muttered, desperately trying to glare at him and fight a blush at the same time.

"Sure did." He said, and kissed her again.

"What was that one for now?!"

"Cuz I liked it."

"Oh..." She blushed a brand new shade of red that not even ol' ROY G. BIV knew about.

That's when he pulled away from her reluctantly and went outside, straight to the stream. The icy water sounded really good right now. Really, really, REALLY good. They had a LOOOOOONG day ahead of them.

From somewhere in the forest, Sesshoumaru was calling to Rin because he had the scent again. And he was out for blood.

If you don't know about ROY G. BIV, SHAME ON YOU! But, incase you don't know, I'll explain cuz i'm a nice person that way. It's the rainbow. Red, orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. I can just hear all of you who didn't know going OOOOh!!! I get it! I'd insult you all, but i really want you to review! PLEASE????? ok ttfn!

P.S. that was the Big O theme song they were singing. I DON"T OWN Anything!!! Much to my dismay i assure you.
