Yay! You guys really do care tear I'm so happy! I got the reviews I asked for! Y'all rock my socks, and my socks are pretty rocking. Hehehe, I love to say that! Okay, so I'm gonna get on with the story. On to Chapter 5-

Chapter 5

Last Time

" 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…

Now

… Nothing, everything was gone. Then they realized that they were turned around when they heard Sango call their names. (Hahaha, gotcha didn't I!) When they turned around, Kagome got off of InuYashas back and walked over to her friend.

" Hey, Sango, can we talk? I need to tell you something."

" Sure Kagome, what's on your mind?"

" Come with me."

Kagome grabbed Sangos arm and brought her a bit of a ways into the forest. They stopped in a small clearing and Kagome started to talk. Their surrounding was so beautiful. The trees were so lush and full with the occasional colored leaf. The grass was a deep green with some small pink flowers poking out. They filled the air with a soothing floral scent that seemed to calm you. The trees lunged high above the two ladies, and provided the perfect combination of shade and light poking through.

Kagome first told Sango about when she saw Kikyou and InuYasha together, then how she fell down hard and cut her knees, then why she went into the water, how she fell, blacked out and woke up to InuYashas face.

" I was too upset about seeing him with Kikyou that I couldn't stand to be near him. So I told him that I couldn't handle the state at hand. Then I tried to get up and walk away but my knees hurt too much, so I fell back down. I tried to tell him that I was leaving when he did the un-thinkable!"

" Ooh, what did he do?"

" Well, while I was upset something kinda slipped out, that is… um…. Heh…."

" Tell me!"

" I said that I loved him so…"

" Good for you! I always knew you could do it. So what was it that he did that was so un-thinkable?"

" Well… he kissed me, on the lips, on his own."

" Really! I'm so happy for you two! So what did you do? Did he confess his love for you too? Did he propose? When's the wedding? Can I be your maid of honor? Where are you-"

" Sango! None of those things happened! Calm down, breath. We broke away, and I started to feel dizzy, but can you blame me? I mean, I was just unconscious in freezing water. Well, I was looking him straight in the eye to try to see what was going on, when everything sort of went black. But for some reason I felt really cold at first, then really, really warm. When I finally woke up, InuYasha was gone, I was in a cave on the side of a cliff wearing dry clothes and leaning against a the side of the cave."

" Aww, I wanted for my idea to happen. I wonder why you felt so warm?"

" I don't know, I went to the mouth of the cave and looked out when I saw InuYasha, then we came back here. I hardly even spoke to him after we kissed."

" Do you want me to find out if he loves you back or not for you?"

"No, I'm sure I'll be just fine asking him myself. It shouldn't be too hard to do right?" They got up and started walking back to the camp.

InuYasha POV

" Come on, what happened InuYasha?"

" Why the hell would I tell you monk?"

" Because I'm your best guy friend."

" Where did you get that? I'm not lowering myself to having to resort to talking to you about this stuff. I'd sooner talk to a log."

" That was harsh, I'm just trying to be nice."

" Why don't you go be 'nice' somewhere else?"

" Fine then, you keep it locked up and tell me when it starts eating away at you so I can gloat about it."

" Whatever."

Just then Kagome and Sango walked through the trees and over to InuYasha and Miroku. It was starting to get dark, and Kagome wanted to make dinner before it got too late.

" Hey guys, I'm going to start making dinner, okay?"

" Sure, I'll help you." Miroku said as he followed Kagome over to the supplies that InuYasha had gathered. There were 6 fish, probably trout, and some pieces of wood to build a fire. Kagome picked up the wood and handed it to Miroku.

" Could you start making a fire to cook these fish while I get them ready?"

" Sure, um, Kagome, could I ask you something?"

" Sure, what is it?"

" Well, I was curious, What happened with you and InuYasha today? You were gone an awfully long time."

Kagome tensed up. Should she tell Miroku? She wasn't quite sure what would come of it. She let out a deep sigh and eased up.

" Nothing happened, nothing important anyway. I cut my knees and fell in some freezing water where I caught hypothermia but I'm okay now."

" Hmm, I wonder why InuYasha wouldn't tell me even that?"

" I don't know, but nothing special really happened."

" What are you talking about? You caught hypothermia! That's important! You could have died!"

" It wasn't that bad, It was only a mild case. I wouldn't have died from that."

Miroku came up behind her and hugged her tightly.

" I'm so glad that you're okay Kagome."

" Uh, thanks, I guess."

He released her and walked back to the fire that he was working on.

When he was done Kagome put the fish on the fire until they were cooked.

" Dinner is ready!" Kagome yelled over to the rest of the group.

Everyone came over to the fire at their own passe. Shippou ran InuYasha walked, Sango walked slightly faster than InuYasha, Miroku walked the same and Kirara jumped playfully. Kagome had already sat down in front of the blazing warmth of the fire. When everyone had gotten their fish, Kagome picked up hers and started to slowly nibble on it. She was staring into the fire, in deep thought. ' Why would he kiss me if he didn't love me? And what happened with him and Kikyou? Maybe he left Kikyou. Yeah right, he loves her too much. But why would he kiss me then?' By the time she snapped out of her thoughts the sun was starting to set and Shippou had fallen asleep.

" Oh look at that! It's so pretty. Lets go get a better look." Sango said pointing at the sunset on the river/stream.

It was really beautiful, the sky was colored in soft purples, pinks, reds and blues. And the river mirrored the colors. It was so majestic, so romantic. They all got up and walked over to the side of the river. Kagome and InuYasha sat next to each other and Sango and Miroku sat next to each other, on the other side of a tree, so not to disturb them. As the sun was setting Kagome looked contently at it. It was amazing, and she wished it would never end. ' Well, I guess now is as good as any to ask him about what happened.' Kagome looked over to InuYasha who was looking out at the sunset.

" InuYasha, can I talk to you? About what happened earlier." InuYasha looked over at Kagome.

" Look, Kagome, I didn't mean to make you feel bad about Kikyou and I. I promise to you, I'm not with her anymore. She told me that she knew I didn't love her any more. And she said that she would leave, forever."

" Really? Wow, then why were you two hugging?"

" She wanted something to remember me by. We both wanted to end on good terms and if she knew that I still care for her, she could rest in piece. I don't love her anymore, but I still care about her, I just want her to be happy."

" Oh, wow. I'm so sorry I freaked out. But I guess I just, I just couldn't stand by thinking that, that she was going to take you to hell with her. I'm so sorry, I just really cared about you, too much for her to take you away from me."

" It's okay, I understand. And just for the record, I love you too. I really do, and I'm sorry that I made you worry."

" InuYasha, I love you so much, and I want to be with you forever."

Kagome leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips. InuYasha brought his hand up to her cheek and used his other hand to pull her closer to him. When he did this Kagome gasped a bit from the sudden movement. InuYasha took this opportunity to put his tongue in her mouth. Kagome lifted her arms up and wrapped them around his neck. InuYasha then moved the hand that was on her cheek and put it around the back of her hand to pull her face in closer. InuYasha explored her mouth with his tongue he licked around her teeth and licked her tongue. When he did that, Kagome felt a shiver go down her spine, it was such a weird feeling to have her tongue licked. Then Kagome pushed her tongue out at InuYashas, thus started the 'tongue war'. This lasted for a few minutes until they had to take a breath. Then it started up again and this went on for a while.

Sango POV

It was so nice, being there with the man she loved in such a pretty scene. Miroku moved his hand on top of Sangos, and Sango wrapped her fingers with his. A smile played across her face, she was so happy. Miroku noticed this and it made him happy too. He had succeeded to get her closer. After that, the same thing basically happened with InuYasha and Kagome, only Miroku had initiated the kiss. But they were in tongue war too, and they both loved it. But Miroku seemed to love it a little more. He was right in there, making all the moves. Until Sango lost balance and fell down, Miroku falling on top of her. But that didn't stop the kisses, they were still going at it, only lying down.

Kagome POV

By this time, Kagome had also 'fallen' and was on top of InuYasha, until he rolled over and was now on top. Kagome smiled before rolling on top again. InuYasha took this as a challenge, along with their current tongue war, and rolled over again, so he was once again on top. This lasted for another while. And neither of them would give up. Until they finally rolled into the tree, with InuYasha in top. It turned out that he had won. But Kagome would get him back some how. She broke away and started to talk. She looked up at InuYasha, straight in the eye.

" That's no fair, you got the tree to hold you there."

" Well you didn't exactly state the rules when we started so yes it is fair."

" Whatever, I was too preoccupied with your tongue to state these rules."

InuYasha smirked at her last comment. She said that she was too preoccupied with his tongue in the sexiest voice he had ever heard. She was such a vixen. So he continued to kiss her passionately.
