Ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Kagome woke up snug and warm. She smiled and slowly opened her eyes. She stiffened when she felt the arms wrapped around her. Suddenly memories of that night and the kiss they ha shared came flooding back to her. She gasped when she thought about it.

Kagome made an attempt to get to her feet only to be pulled back down by Inuyasha's strong grip. She felt his arms tighten around her.

"Stupid possessive baka." Kagome muttered

"That's not very nice." Inuyasha said, his eyes still closed.

Kagome screamed in fright at the sudden voice. Inuyasha laughed as she struggled to free herself.

"Damn, Inuyasha! Let go of me!" Kagome said still trying to pull herself away.

"No." Inuyasha said simply pulling Kagome even closer. He buried his head into her hair and breathed in her scent. He smiled at the heavenly smell. Lavender and jasmine.

"Inuyasha, I mean it! Let go!" Kagome said, this time she raised her voice slightly.

"Fine." Inuyasha said releasing her just as Kagome tried to yank herself free thus sending her flying to the ground.

Kagome tossed her hair out of her eyes and got to her feet. She turned toward the laughing half-demon, her eyes flaming. Inuyasha gulped.

"You Jerk!" Kagome yelled causing the entire house to shake, "You did that on purpose!"

"I did not." Inuyasha yelled back taking a step closer. He reached out to touch her shoulder.

"Stay away from me!" Kagome yelled stepping out of his reach.

"I didn't mean for you to fall!" Inuyasha yelled

"I wasn't talking about that!" Kagome yelled.

"Then what were you talking about?" Inuyasha asked

"I was talking about last night." Kagome mumbled.

"You let me!" Inuyasha said.

"I wish I didn't!!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha stood there stunned at her voice and hurt by her words.

"Fine." Inuyasha said turning away from her, "Sorry I bothered you." He said walking out to the stables.

Kagome stood there for a second before plopping herself down on the couch and burying her face in her hands. After ten minutes or so she got to her feet and walked to the window. The snow was still falling, it would keep falling for another 5 ½ months. She wiped a tear from her eye as she remembered the hurt look on Inuyasha's face.

'I can't believe I said that. I didn't want to be so mean. I'm not ready, not after what happened that night.' She reached out to the window remembering. Soon the tears were falling freely down her face.

TTTTTTTTTTT Flashback TTTTTTTTTTT

A sixteen year old Kagome sat by the window waiting. She was beginning to worry. The winter storm should be starting soon and her father still wasn't back yet. Getting impatient she ran over to Hope calling out her name.

Hope turned to Kagome. Kagome smiled at her. Hope was beautiful with her short curly auburn hair pulled back in a dark blue ribbon. Kagome had wished to be just like her when she grew up. She was brave, strong, beautiful, kind, and touched everyone who came in contact with her.

"Hey, Kagome, what can I do for you?" Hope said.

"Hope, do you know when Daddy's coming back?" Kagome asked

"Don't worry he'll be back soon. No worries, okay?" Hope said kindly.

Kagome stood there for a second looking into Hope's eyes. She saw fear and uneasiness within them. She smiled hoping she was just imagining things.

"Hey Kagome!" Someone called to her from the door. She turned and saw Sirius standing in the doorway. His long black hair was pulled into its usual ponytail at the base of his neck and ended at his mid-back. His green eyes shone happily.

"Hi" Kagome said running over. She stopped half-way out the room, "Bye Hope, feel better, k?"

Hope looked at her for a second and then turned away.

Kagome ran over to Sirius.

"Are we going to the training dome again?" Kagome asked hopefully.

"Sure, but first I wanted to talk to you in my room." Sirius said.

"Alright." Kagome said slowly looking at him. He was acting very strange, almost nervous. That couldn't be possible, because Sirius was never nervous. Kagome followed him silently wondering what was bothering him.

Sirius pulled open the door that led to his room. He held it open for Kagome and let her inside before closing and locking the door after them.

"So what's up?" Kagome asked sitting down on his bed.

"Kagome I-I don't know how you feel about me, but" Sirius started. He paused and took a deep breath. "Kagome, I love you"

Kagome sat there in shock. She had not expected this.

Sirius turned away from her, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I'll go now." He said reaching for the door.

"Wait!" Kagome said. "Sirius, I-I-I love you as well." She stammered. Kagome could feel her heart pounding in her chest.

"Really?" Sirius asked her looking at her with wide eyes, "You mean it."

Kagome nodded.

"Will you be my girlfriend then?" Sirius asked

"Sure." Kagome replied eagerly.

Sirius grinned. "We better go, though. We still have work to do."

They walked to the Training Dome hand in hand (A/N Awwww).

"What do you need us to do?" Sirius asked Doyle.

Doyle glanced at them and quickly noted their joined hands 'It's about time' he thought.

He waved some of his light brown hair out of his face, "You could give Gabe a bath." He said referring to the large, but gentle, golden dragon.

"Okay." Kagome said smiling

They walked to the stables and into Gabe's pen. Just as they were leading the dragon out they heard a bunch of arguing. Kagome and Sirius exchanged glances.

Dabih came into the room followed by his daughter Spica and a bunch on trainers who worked there.

"What's going on?" Sirius asked looking at his father.

Dabih glanced at Kagome, "Rinji has yet to return. The storm has gotten bad, I fear for his life." He said sadly.

Kagome gasped and tears began to fill her eyes. She shook her head, "No, no." Kagome fell to her knees and cried.

Sirius looked at her and then to his father. "I will go and look for him."

"Son! You cannot!" Dahib said. "It is much to dangerous."

"Rinji wouldn't leave any of us out there! So I will not leave him!" Sirius said.

"Sirius no." Kagome said looking up at him from the floor, "Don't go out there."

"I can't leave him out there." Sirius said kneeling next to her. "Not after all he's done for me. Don't worry. I'll be back."

Kagome turned her away from him.

Sirius frowned and got to his feet. "I will take Dai." He said putting Gabe back into his pen and heading towards Dai's.

TTTTTTTTT End Of Flashback TTTTTTTTTTTT

Kagome turned and headed into the stables. Even if they were fighting Kagome had work to do.

She headed down the row of stables and found the pen that held Adline was open. She pocked her head in and saw Inuyasha there grooming his dragon. Sensing her Inuyasha got to his feet and turned around avoiding eye contact.

"Sorry if I'm in your way." He snapped walking past her.

Kagome sighed and led Adline out for her bath. They entered the Bathing Room. Adline went into the large pool eagerly.

"Why did I react to him the way I did?" Kagome asked Adline. The dragon glanced at her curiously.

"Last night I had no problem with him, but this morning." Kagome shook her head. "I'm just not ready Adline." Kagome began to scrub the scales on the dragons back half-heartedly. "I don't think I'll ever be ready. I lost both of them. The two people I loved the disappeared on the same evening. Then you came. You helped me get through the pain. Thank you so much Adline" Kagome said crying into the dragon's back.
