Ch.8 The Kiss
Rosemary walked alongside Inuyasha down a dirt road. Inuyasha was mad because he couldn't find Julie's scent.
"And I can't even smell my smelly brother," snarled Inuyasha, punching the air. "How are we supposed to find your friend? Goodness knows what my brother has done to her by now!"
"I know," said Rosemary, worried. "It's been a really long time and we haven't found her yet."
Rosemary had been hanging around Inuyasha a lot. She was glad Kagome didn't seem to mind. Rosemary and Inuyasha were getting really friendly now.
Shippo sat on Rebecca's shoulder. He took a snakeskin out of his pocket and started playing with it, swinging it around in circles.
"Uh, what exactly is that?" asked Rebecca.
"It's a snakeskin!" said Shippo happily. "This boy gave it to Inuyasha for helping his grandpa. But Inuyasha didn't want it so he gave it to me."
"Okay, get that away from me!" said Rebecca. "That's disgusting!"
Shippo giggled happily to himself and dangled it right in front of Rebecca's face. Rebecca screamed and tripped.
Rosemary busted out laughing. Rebecca made a face at her and stood up.
Shippo climbed onto Rosemary's shoulder and told her a story. Rosemary liked Shippo because he was so funny and he had a cute little voice.
They made camp that night in a shady clearing. After dinner, Inuyasha decided to go for a walk. Rosemary joined him.
"You hang around me a lot," said Inuyasha.
"Well, you're my friend," said Rosemary.
They sat down on a large rock and talked for a while.
"You know, I'm kind of glad we're here," said Rosemary. "I'm very unhappy that Julie was kidnapped. But I like being around all you guys, especially you."
"Why me?" asked Inuyasha.
"Well." Rosemary blushed. "I like you."
Inuyasha blushed and looked away. Then he turned back to Rosemary.
"Do you really like me?" he asked.
"Yes," said Rosemary. "A lot."
Inuyasha suddenly hugged her. "Thanks for being such a good friend, Rosemary," he told her.
He suddenly kissed her on the mouth. Rosemary eyes widened in shock.
Inuyasha looked at her. "Wanna' do that again?" Rosemary nodded eagerly and they kissed as the sun went down.
