Disclaimer- Must you ask?

Suzu- Hi everyone! I have looked into what you've asked, and guess what? I shall grant it to come true! FLUFF FOR EVERYONE!!!!! Hee hee. Who said 13 is unlucky? (Starts pigging out on a milky way)

Kodaku – (Smiles happily while munching on a milky way) The Greeks did!

Suzu- (Looks over and gives a sweet smile) Good for you, Kodaku! Milky way?

Kodaku – (Takes it happily) Yayers!

Suzu- Oh yes, by the way, one reviewer asked if I replied my reviews...do YOU GUYS want me to? I you do, I'd like to be notified. I thought that people would like to get right to business. That review was in my other story, but this topic involves both stories...So, if you all want replies, I'd like to know.

Review reply for Tiffy Yang-

Hmmm....I guess I could reply if you want... And you won't be disappointed. I fulfilled your request. I'm not that great at fluff yet, though.

Chapter 13

"Okay, everyone! We're taking a break here in this park, okay?" The teacher stood at the front of the bus, giving instructions for lunch break. "You're allowed to go and explore the park, but be back here in 40 minutes exactly. Bring a lunch and stay with at least one person at all times."

Inuyasha instinctively slid his hand into Kagome's, blushing heavily as he did so. Kagome smiled and noted how her heart felt warm and fuzzy at the moment.

"Everyone, ready? Let's go then!" The instructor wisely stepped aside before being trampled by excited and hyper high schoolers. 20 years of teaching had taught her that much.

Before anyone else had time to react to this, and after the bus driver opened the door, Inuyasha pulled Kagome out of the bus.

Tugging gently, the hanyou led Kagome past the picnic benches and into the open grassy fields where no one else was to be seen and they could have some privacy. There were several large rocks strewn here and there, and the sky was a perfect hue of blissful blue. The wind playfully ruffled the grass tips.

Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha, do you want to just eat on the grass instead of the benches? I like it so much better here." She turned over to look off at the benches where everyone else was putting down their lunches rather disdainfully since the benches were old and molding.

Inuyasha smirked. "Whatever. I guess this is better than those moldy lumps of wood anyway." He felt a pounding in his chest, which he tried desperately to control.

Kagome hummed happily as she folded out a blanket on the grass. Carefully, she set her lunch on the blanket and sat down. Inuyasha wondered what he'd be eating.

Kagome then started rummaging in her bag and produced another lunchbox. "Inuyasha, here's your lunch. I packed it myself, not to mention I cooked it myself." Kagome smiled at the surprised hanyou.

"Wow, Kagome. I didn't know you could cook things other than ramen." Inuyasha mumbled out. He was blushing furiously at the moment and kept his head down. Kagome looked so cute when she smiled like that, so...peaceful.

Kagome took Inuyasha's lunchbox out when she suddenly had an idea. "Inuyasha!!!!!!! Can I pleeeaassee feed you?" Kagome stared intently into those amber eyes, own eyes filled with sparkly light.

"WHAT????" Inuyasha flinched at the idea. But Kagome was staring so earnestly... "Ummm....feh....I don't care." The hanyou shrugged and folded his legs into the old yoga-like style. As long as Kagome was happy...

"Yay!" Kagome cried out exuberantly. "Oh thank you thank you, Inuyasha! I love you!" Kagome had no idea what affect the last remark had on the hanyou, who was now near heart attack.

'W-what? How can she say that so casually???? Wait, maybe it's just a modern day thing and it just kind of spilled out.' Inuyasha had heard some girl say that when another had given her a simple piece of bread. He contented himself with that thought, although his heart was still pounding fiercely. Meanwhile, Kagome was holding out a piece of sushi to Inuyasha.

"Eat up, Inuyashie!" Kagome said happily. It wasn't everyday a girl got to feed such a kawaii bishi. However, Inuyasha, afraid of further contact had edged away comically.

"Hey, come back here!" Kagome stood up, pouting, and started to run up to catch Inuyasha.

"No way, I'm not eating that, wench!" Inuyasha called back. He ran over to a bubbling stream and jumped on top of a large boulder.

"Inuyasha, no fair... come down NOW!" Kagome pouted uselessly.

Inuyasha stayed where he was.

Kagome stopped short and started to sniffle a little. It wasn't fair. Inuyasha promised.

The hanyou was shocked over Kagome's tears. Meekly, he came over to the school girl until he stood in front of her. "Hey, Kagome...don't cry. I'll eat it, and you can even...um...feed me."

"Really?" Kagome looked up hopefully like a little child.

Inuyasha nodded, heart pounding. Kagome smiled.

Kagome leaned up, sushi in hand and about to stuff it in Inuyasha's mouth. But when their faces were only 10 centimeters apart...Kagome's mind started rushing. Her head continued up to Inuyasha's face. 'Oh no, what am I doing? Hey! He's just a friend. I hardly know him. What's happening???' But in her heart, everything felt so right. Her eyes started to close.

Before the hanyou could protest or wonder what was going on, Kagome had closed the gap to 5 centimeters between them. Luckily, there was a boulder shielding them from the view of any others, but neither was conscious of that right now. All that mattered was....

Inuyasha held his breath. He could feel Kagome's breath as she inhaled and exhaled, and he smelled her scent at full blast. 'Oh darn it...' his mind kept repeating. And then, gently, ever so gently, Kagome's lips pressed softly onto his own in a fragile and tender first kiss. In that moment, Kagome seemed to have a rush of memories storm back at her. But what were they, she didn't recognize them... Still, Kagome's mind seemed to stop functioning. Only one thought fleeted through her head: 'Inuyasha, do you love me?'

Then, suddenly, Kagome snapped back into reality...or was it reality. She wasn't sure now. Breaking the kiss, Kagome turned away abruptly, cheeks flaming. Inuyasha stood rooted to the spot, not sure what to do.

"Ah! Inuyasha, I-I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened....all of the sudden...I just stopped functioning properly and....saw things...felt things" she finished off in a whisper/whimper.

"Kagome...you don't need to be sorry. I...you see....I-...I lo-" Inuyasha's whole body was tingling. Should he tell her? 'Yes! Yes dammit!' his mind screamed.

"Oh, hey you two!" Hojo's face peered over the boulder. "It's time to go back to the bus now, you know." He smiled at Kagome, who ignored him.

"Right...." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath. Silently, he and Kagome picked up all the things on the grass.

He really needed some support right now.
