Kagome stared into Kougas blue eyes. It seemed as if they were standing there for an eternity. Kagome felt her face redden. Kouga reached his hand toward her chin; He pulled her face toward his. Kouga kissed Kagome lightly. Kouga felt Kagome begin tense. Kagome began to relax. Kouga felt Kagome deepen the kiss. Kouga was stunned for an instance then deepened the kiss even further. Kagome reached her hands toward Kouga head pulling him closer to her still. Kouga removed his hand from her face and began to pull her close. Kouga began to move his hand down toward Kagomes behind. Kagome didn't even mind when be began to grab her ass and pull her toward him. Kagome let out a small moan. Kouga broke the kiss and he heard kagome moan in disappointment. They stared at each other breathing deeply. Kouga pulled out the chair closet to him motioning for Kagome to sit. Kagome walked slowly toward the chair and sat down. Kouga joined her by sitting in the chair opposite Kagome.

"Kagome…I'm sorry but if we would have mated then you would be committing yourself to me… and meaning you would not be able to return to Inuyasha. And I knew that if we did mate and I marked you that then later you would be regret ever coming to me. Kagome I only want to see you happy. And if that means waiting for you then I shall wait as long as I must."

Kagome stared Kouga. She couldn't believe what she had just done but instead of feeling like she did something wrong she felt happy. She never knew Kouga had such deep and thoughtful thoughts.

Inuyasha pov

Inuyasha walked deep into the forest not paying attention to anything. He soon came to a beautiful waterfall with hot springs surrounding. Kagome would just love this he thought. He slowly undressed and walked toward a hot spring and began to relax. I wish she knew how I really felt. I didn't mean to stare at her. I couldn't help it. He stared into the trees wishing Kagome would just emerge and forgive him for everything he has done. He reached for his clothing and took out a small bottle of shampoo that Kagome had given him. He dunked his hair under the water and poured out a small amount of liquid and applied it to his hair. He began to massage his scalp. He dunked his head back under the water rinsing out all of the liquid. He rose out of the water and began to shake the water off of his body. He put his clothing back on and walked to a near by tree. He began to jump up the branches to reach his destination. He sat the highest branch and stared out over the waterfall.

Kagome POV

Kagome told Kouga that she wanted to go for a walk and that she wanted him to join her. Kouga followed Kagome through the forest. Kouga didn't know where they were headed but, followed.

"Kouga, I want to thank you for thinking of me before yourself. Now that I think about everything... Kagome voice trailed away. Kouga lowered his head in shame and disappointment well I liked it he said to himself.

"I don't regret anything Kagome said after a short silence. I do enjoy being with you but, I'm not ready to commit myself just yet". There was silence. Kagome continued to lead Kouga deep into the woods. They finally came to a clearing. There was a beautiful waterfall with hot springs every where.

Inuyasha POV

Inuyasha sat on the tree branch staring at nothing. Then he smelt kagome coming. But he also smelled Kouga. What is she doing with him? He asked his self. He watched as they came into the clearing. He watch as Kagome began to flirt with Kouga. He watched as Kagome pushed Kouga into water and her jump in after him.

Normal POV

Kagome pushed Kouga into the water. Kouga looked at her with a mischievous smile. Kagome jumped in after her. They began splashing each other with water and rolling around. Inuyasha could not bare to watch. He wish he that could have been him down there, instead of Kouga. Then Kagome did something Inuyasha would have never have guessed. Kagome plunged her way toward Kouga and kissed him. Inuyasha watched in horror as Kagome and Kouga engaged in a passionate kiss.
