Chapter 5

Kagome awoke, surprised to find herself completely taken care of, pillow, blanket and all, next to, what seemed to be the remains of a large fire. She sighed, a grin forming on her face as it dawned on her as to what happened.

"Good morning."

Kagome tried to jump, but only managed to get caught in her blanket and roll over.

"You scared me again! Stop sneaking up on me!" She laughed.

"But its funny to see you all riled up like that." he smirked. She huffed, grinning. She would get him back. She reached up and grabbed one of his ears. "Hey! Quit messing with my ears!" He tweaked the one out of her reach, only to have her jump up to reach it again "Oh no you don't! You scared me, so this is punishment!" she laughed. When she was just about to grab his ear once again, he grabbed her around the waist and started to poke her ribs gently. "AAAHHH! I-nu-ya-sha! Th-that t-tickles!" she shrieked, breaking out in bursts of uncontrollable laughter. She started to flail, trying to free herself, but only causing Inuyasha to lose balance, falling backwards onto the ground, Kagome still trying to stop the tickling on top of him. He ceased the torture, Kagome breathing heavily to make up for the breath she lost laughing. Soon Kagome's giggles quieted and she sighed, looking into Inuyasha's eyes, deep and amber colored. Noticing her surroundings, she blushed as she noticed she was laying on top of Inuyasha. "Uh..mm...a.." she stuttered her cheeks turning the color of Inuyasha's kimono. He sat up on his elbows, looking deep into Kagome's eyes, returning her gaze. He reached up and placed a hand on the back on Kagome's head, his fingers intertwining with her ebony hair. He leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Kagome's pale pink lips. Kagome returned the kiss only deepening the feeling further. Eventually they released, just looking at each other, until Kagome reached up and stroked one of Inuyasha's ears, and to her surprise, without complaint. In fact she actually heard a soft rumble in Inuyasha's chest, a lot like...purring?

"Inuyasha, are you an inuyoukai or a nekoyoukai?" she laughed.

(A.N. nekoyoukai-cat demon inuyoukai-guess)

"Are we there yet!" Shippo asked, complaining, sitting on Kilala's head. "Almost. Do you see that village up ahead? That's where we are headed." "Oh okay." He sighed "I hope we haven't come all the way put here for nothing." "I do too."sighed Sango. She looked back, to check on Miroku, who had been unconscious from the last little feel he decided to take. She rolled her eyes and looked ahead. "Kilala, head down."she ordered the giant feline, and the demon descended. Shippo nearly fell off as Kilala touched down, letting out a small wail. Sango giggled when she saw shippo having trouble getting off the cat. Sango stood under the head of her cat companion and caught the flailing kit. Miroku was another matter. She gave his head a hard shove and he slid off, landing on his back He let out a low moan as he regained his consciousness.

"Ah Mr. Touchy-feeley is awake." she muttered as she nudged him with her foot.
