Please R & R! I really need reviews. It gives me more motivation to write. I'd like at least 3 reviews please, because I got that for the second chapter. Thanks a bunch and now, on with the 4th chapter! Woot!

Chapter 4

Last time

Kagome pulled away from the kiss and looked deep into his bright amber eyes. It was like a fire in his eyes and she could see straight into his soul. Into the deepest part of his feelings. Kagome began to feel dizzy, and all of a sudden, everything went black.

Now

" Kagome! Kagome!"

InuYasha was worried now; he didn't know what to do. And because he was so far away from Keades village he couldn't take her there for help. The first thing hr could think of was that she had hypothermia. And when you have hypothermia, you need to be warmed up! But he didn't want to leave her to get wood. Who knows what could happen when he was away? He thought frantically ' what should I do? I need to warm her up! But I can't leave her here alone.' Then the worst came to mind. 'BODY HEAT! But, that would mean that we would both be… Well it wouldn't be that bad. I mean she did say that she loved me, and it would be out of her best interest. (Hahaha! InuYasha is going hentai! ) That's it! He had made up his mind and would help save Kagome. Maybe she'll even think of him as her hero! Or she could osuwari him all the way to the other side of the world. Oh well, it would have to be now or never before she freezes to death.

But he didn't want to be inconsiderate to Kagome so he decided that it would be best to go find a cave or something. He pulled off his hoarai and wrapped it around the slumbering beauty (Kagome). ' At least she won't freeze when I run.' He picked her up bridal style and leapt over the river to the other side where a cliff was. It was about 20 feet away from the river.

He leapt up the side of the cliff to where he saw a cave. Because the cave was so high up, he knew he would not have visitors. He stopped when he got to the cave entrance and walked in. It was dark inside the cave. There were sounds of water dripping and the puddles he stepped in made it known they were there with their splashing sounds. He walked in a little more until he thought they were safe and found a semi flat place to sit. He sat down with Kagome right beside him, shivering. He undressed first and then undressed her. He then crossed his legs and pulled Kagome onto his lap where he held her close to him. She was freezing cold. So he pulled his haorai onto them and hugged her tightly. He looked down at her when she had stopped shivering. Her breathing evened out and he could hear and feel her heart beating. It was a steady, even pace, and it made him relax. As he listened to her rhythmic heartbeat, he grew drowsy. His eyes closed and he let sleep engulf him.

Miroku POV

Miroku looked over at Sango who was sitting gracefully with Kirara sleeping on her lap. She was sitting at the edge of the river gently stroking Kiraras back. She looked so peaceful, sitting there, with a gentle smile played across her soft pink lips, as she gazed into the rapid water. He decided to make the most of her good mood and be romantic. So he got up from where he was sitting and walked over to her and sat down next to his one true love, Sangos ass, I mean Sango nervous laugh. ' Conversation, I should strike up an interesting conversation.' He thought of what to talk about and sat in thought for a moment. Sango noticed him sit and was thinking the same thing. ' I wonder what to talk about, the weather is always a good topic, rite?'

" So, nice weather we're having."

" Oh yeah, gorgeous, but not as gorgeous as you."

" Wow, that's original. Come up with that one yourself?"

" My dear Sango, what is it that you have against me. I was just trying to be polite. If you don't want to talk to me then I'll leave."

" I'm sorry Miroku, I didn't mean to say that, I guess it's just like reflexes or something."

" It's all rite Sango dearest, I forgive, I guess I should have chosen my words more wisely. Okay, here goes."

Miroku picked up her right hand and looked her straight into her lovely eyes. He loved her eyes, they were so full of character, and were special to him.

" Sango my dearest, your eyes sparkle brighter then any star in the sky, and your face makes my heart stop every time I see it. It seems, if it is possible, that you grow more radiant every time I see you."

Sango immediately started to blush a soft shade of pink. She really did love the attention from him. And if he could look her in the eye when he said that, she knew he wasn't just trying to get in her pants, with her. And he did say it straight to her, he really did think she was beautiful.

" Aww, Miroku, that is so sweet."

" Sango, you know that I love you, and I would never try to hurt you. I will always love you, even if it isn't mutual. I will always and have always thought you were beautiful. I love you so much. I truly do with all my heart."

By now Sangos eyes were glowing, she was so happy that he said that. ' He really and truly cares for me.'

" Oh, Miroku, I love you too."

She pulled him into a gentle, but meaningful, hug where they stayed for a while. Her head was resting against his chest, just below his shoulder. He rested his head on the top of her head and the both closed their eyes, just enjoying eachothers company. They broke away but Miroku kept his arm around her back. He was so tempted to grope her, and Sango was ready for it. ' Any minute now, his hand will slip, as he says, onto my ass, and then I'll pound him. He can never keep the moment, he always ruins it. Any second now.' But he never moved his hand, until they got up to aid Shippous whining.

" Waaaaah! I hurt my knee!" Shippou was screaming in 'pain' now. But Miroku could be seen as the happiest person alive. The love of his life loved him back.

InuYasha POV

InuYasha had slept for a couple of hours, when he finally woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the sleeping miko. She was so beautiful when she slept. She looked like an angel (hahaha! That's what Kagome thinks he looks like when he sleeps!) that had fallen into his lap from heaven. Then he remembered that he was nude. ' Oh boy.' he thought. He gently lifted the miko and placed her against the cave wall. He tip toed over to his clothes and quickly, dressed himself, then he dressed Kagome, making sure as to not disturb her. He had left their 'underclothes' on because he didn't want to feel like a hentai. (Does InuYasha wear undies? Oh well he does now). When they were both dressed he walked over to the edge of the cave and looked out. It was about 6:00 p.m. (he can tell by the sun and stuff) then he looked back at Kagome who was still asleep. She still looked cold so he took off his haorai and draped it over her as a blanket. Then he leapt out of the cave in search of food and firewood.

Kagome POV

When Kagome woke up she felt so warm. She opened her eyes to see InuYashas haorai on her and suddenly the memories came flooding back in from before she fainted. (Yes she fainted from the cold) her clothes were dry by now so she figured that she was out for quite a while. ' Hmm, I wonder where InuYasha went?' she got up and when the pain started shooting through her knees she winced. Kagome looked down at her knees and noticed that they had already started to scab over. ' That's good, they're healing fast.' She thought. She walked over to the a light she saw and looked out of the cave she was in. she looked down and saw that she was at least seven stories up. The view was magnificent though. She could see out across the forest and into the fields upon fields behind them. There were so many villages it seemed from where she was. The fields were followed by rolling hills of emerald green grass and more trees. It was a beautiful sight. Kagome sighed in appreciation of its majesty. ' I love the sengoku jidai. It's so clean and fresh.'

InuYasha POV

When InuYasha had finished finding the food and firewood, he headed back to the cave to retrieve Kagome. He wanted to bring her back to the camp that they had set up last night. There was no point in trying to travel more that day so they would stay another night. He leapt back to the cliff and up to the cave when he saw Kagome standing at the mouth of the cave. Her raven hair was blowing all around in the wind due to the altitude. She was so beautiful standing there, and she loved him, he remembered her say that. He loved her so much and now he knew that she loved him too.

When Kagome saw InuYasha leaping up the hill she waved over to him. ' He is so sexy. I love it when he jumps like that, it's so hot.' Kagome thought to herself. She watched as he jumped from boulder to boulder up the side of the cliff. His long silver hair shining in the sun as it danced around his back every time he jumped. She loved his hair, it was so pretty. When he reached the cave he jumped right up beside Kagome.

" Hey Kagome, I see you're awake. You gave me quite a scare when you fainted like that."

" Sorry about that. I guess I was colder than I thought. But the water was pretty cold."

" Yeah, you were shivering so I brought you up here to try to get you warmed up." He thought for a moment ' should I tell her that I warmed her up with my body heat? No way, she'll think I'm a pervert.'

" You know, because heat rises and stuff. I remember that you told me that."

" Yeah, I guess so. Whatever, we should probably get back to Sango and Miroku before they start to worry. We can bring the food you caught with us. Okay?"

" That was just what I was going to say." So Kagome climbed onto his back and they headed back to their camp. When they got there they were surprised to find…

Hahaha! Another cliffhanger! Muwahahaha! Please R & R to find out what they found! Was it Miroku and Sango under attack by demons? Or maybe by eachothers tongues! Woah, that's weird. Well you'll just have to review to find out.

P.S. thank you to all that reviewed so far– averybarbarian, kagomefan595, Kagura1993, NeuroticallyDignified, and lttlemscrzy. I love y'all!
