Kisa was resting now. She was in an old, abandoned cottage in the Modern Era, deep in the woods outside of Tokyo. She dare not go back to Kanzuka, not yet. Not until her mission was done.

" Damn," she muttered to herself, " I didn't expect that Sesshomaru to be there. He messed me up. I could have taken him on had I known he would be there."

She snapped her fingers in anger. But she was still weak from loss of blood. Her head was woozy and her vision was hazy. It wasn't long before she blacked out completely.

The Next Night

Sango did not come with Kagome to her Era that time. She decided to help out around Kaede's village for a few days since she hadn't been there for a few days. So Kagome had driven Yukina back to the Jaganashi residence and came back to her empty home. Except for Buyo, she was all alone.

' I have too much time to think now,' she thought, ' And I'm not sure what to make of my thoughts. They're so confusing.'

She sighed heavily, causing Buyo to look up at her with her big, black eyes. The cat seemed to sense that Kagome was confused about something.

Kagome took no notice of Buyo. It was eight that night, a Friday too. Unlike her friends, Kagome had no where to be. She would have loved to go out to a club or a dance, but with who? She had no one.

Except Kurama.

He crept into her thoughts constantly. When a young man smiled at her, she'd smile back of course. But she longed to see Kurama's smile. It was kind and sweet. She loved it. And his hair. It was soft and silky and well kept. Many guys would not like that kind of style because it wasn't 'cool' or 'in' to them.

But Kagome didn't care what other people thought. She liked it and that's what mattered. And his eyes too. She had never seen such a radiant green, the exact colour of an emerald. A perfect emerald with no flaws.

She was brought back to reality when the phone rang. Quickly, she ran and picked up the shiny black receiver.

" Hello?" Kagome said.

" Hey Kagome," said a very familiar voice.

" Hey Kurama," she said. " I was just thinking about you."

" Really? Cool. Well, I called to see if you wanted to come over. You seem to be alone tonight. Is Sango not there?"

" No, she's not," Kagome said, shaking her head to herself, " So I'm alone and lonely," she said playfully.

He laughed. " Then come on over!" he urged, " I'm always alone."

She smiled. " That'd be awesome. I'd love to."

" Great. I'll be waiting at the door."

" I would hope so," she laughed, " You live right across the street from me."

He laughed again and said " See you in a minute. Bye." He hung up.

She hung up her end. He knew her very well, to be able to guess that she was alone and lonely. How kind of him to invite her over. He was truly the best friend she ever had. Always there for her.

She grabbed her keys and a small handbag to put them in. She said goodbye to Buyo, turned off some lights, shut the front door and locked it. She then stuffed her keys into her handbag and walked down the Sunset Shrine steps. There were a few cars out, but not many. Kagome hurried across the road. Sure enough, Kurama was waiting at the door. It was open and the light from inside streamed out.

" Hey Kurama!" she called as she approached.

" Hey Kagome," he said, smiling brightly.

" It was so nice of you to invite me over."

" No problem. Really." She smiled up at him.

" Well go on in," he said, stepping out of her way. She walked past him, and kicked off her shoes. She set her handbag on a small decorative table for safekeeping.

" Come with me," he said, taking her to the large, front living room. He had a lot of nice furniture, she noticed. A big, comfy sofa, two comfy chairs, a small oak coffee table, a TV, and a few shelves here and there. It was a very elegant room and Kagome feared of breaking something, even though there were not many valuables there.

Kurama took a seat on the sofa, and Kagome sat beside him. They were facing the TV. Together, they decided to watch The Swan Princess. It may have been a movie meant for a younger audience, but neither one cared. They thought it was cute, so who cares if they watched it.

They watched it in the dark, with Kagome resting her head on Kurama's shoulder, while he had an arm around her shoulders. The movie ended too soon.

" Wanna listen to some music?" Kurama asked Kagome one they had finished with The Swan Princess.

" Sure. What CD's do ya got?"

He showed her. Kagome pointed to one, which he put into his CD player. So for almost two hours they listened to music, and danced a little, for no apparent reason.

" One more song," Kagome said when the clock struck eleven at night.

Kurama sighed, and smiled. " Fine. One last song."

Kagome smiled as one of her favourite songs came on.

That I could meet you…

And mixed up happiness

Before my eyes is the bound line

The future seems to be near but endlessly far

Happiness is, perhaps, unintentional

Satisfied, time hides its face

Neither being able to afford to look back

Nor turning to peace of mind

Longing for the strength to live out

Let me stay here a little more

When I feel the joy of loving you

And the sparkle of life, like wrapping the pain

Thinking tenderly of the frailty

That nobody can live out his life all by himself

Lovingly, I held that hand

This had to be Kagome's favourite song. It was so pretty, a love song. She was dancing with Kurama now, holding onto him like she would never let go. Not that she wanted to. He was warm, and she felt safe with him. As though time had stopped.

On the days when things don't go as I hope

I find myself losing a tender heart

Yes, its still on the halfway of my dream

Saying to myself so, I got to sleep

If we begin to doubt

There'll be no bounds

So from sometime hard to speak our minds

We can keep silent

Kurama hugged Kagome tightly. He didn't want to lose her ever. Not to anyone else, not to a demon and certainly not to Fate. He wanted to always be with her.

How far should we go?

Just in the forest of illusion…

Just keep running there

Still I have things I can' t budge

On those who hate the never-healed times

Without saying a word, ah…

Beyond the sinking sun

I wanna guard you forever

'Cause the blue of memories

I can't hold back my tears

That I could meet you…

The mixed-up happiness

From now on, only you and me

With heart to heart each other

On the unobstructed way leading to you

Bundling the loves now…

And I wanna be your love

The song began to end. Kagome's mind was again filled with her mixed thoughts. She no longer loved Inuyasha, she knew that. He liked Yukina anyway. But Kurama? She was falling for him. She knew it, she was just to shy to believe it. And maybe he didn't feel the same way about her. She'd be so embarrassed if that was the case. So she kept quiet about it.

The song fully ended, and the two parted. Kurama took the CD out of the CD player, returning it to its case. Kagome yawned behind him.

" Maybe I should go home now," she said sleepily.

He nodded and took her to the door. Upon opening it, they're minds changed. It was raining hard outside. Kagome had no umbrella and she did not want to make Kurama leave his warm house just to take her home underneath his own.

" You can stay here tonight," he offered.

" Can I?" Kagome asked, " I don't want to risk you getting a cold because of me."

" Sure. Its not a problem. I have lots of room."

She smiled. He took her upstairs and handed her a pair of his own pj's. Most would not have fit her, but these had shrunk in the wash, so they didn't fit Kurama anymore. They were just Kagome's size.

They were a silky blue with white buttons doing up the front of the shirt. The pants were a little too long for her still, but that didn't bother her too much. She knocked on Kurama's door.

" Come in," he called.

She opened the door. She looked so cute standing there in the slightly too big pj's he's lent her. She smiled. " Hi," she said shyly, " How do they look?"

" Just fine," Kurama replied. His were the same, except in red.

Kagome sat on his bed beside him. " Thanks for letting me stay over," she said again. " I appreciate it."

He smiled and sat beside her. " Are you cold?" he asked. " You can have my room."

" I'm a little cold," she replied, " But your guest room is fine."

He didn't really listen to her. He pulled the covers over her so she wasn't cold. He laid down beside her. She rolled onto her side and faced him. She put her arms around him and hugged him as though he was her teddy bear.

He smiled. She blushed.

" I'll be your teddy for tonight," he said grinning.

She smiled. " Great." She snuggled up close to him, and hugged him. Soon she was asleep, with not even the pelting rain disturbing her.

Kurama was awake much longer. He liked her a lot…loved her really. He knew that. Who wouldn't love her? He'd gladly do anything just to be with her--always. But she have to same feelings? It was too hard to guess, and would be so painful if not. He couldn't tell her yet…not yet.

He let her snuggle up to him and smiled. She was the best. Soon, he too fell asleep.

There! A longer chapter to make up for my short updates. Hope you liked it. It was really sappy and romantic, but I like it :D And no! In case you got confused or something, there is NO lemon in that. None whatsoever.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or YuYu Hakusho. I do not own the song 'Be With You', performed by 'Glay' either.
