Hello everyone! I have some bad news. I had 13 pages of chapter 20, and then it got deleted and so I was so saddened I had to take a little break from writing. I would LOVE to thank all my reviewers for their support.

Chapter 20- Begin This chapter is dedicated to my lovely friend Linny, for helping me with the pervy stuff.

The sun was shinning the day couldn't get any better, other than in one hours Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, and Sango would be leaving for the island Fuji (I know it's a volcano/ mountain but my story is mine so deal!) for a little beachside fun. But they had to eat a nice meal before they left.

Mrs. H had made a wonderful breakfast, to feed their hungry mouths. It consisted of pancakes, sausage, bacon, rolls, eggs, fresh squeezed orange juice, waffles, omelets, hash browns, etc. The four sat down, everyone still in their sleep wear.

"So is everyone excited?" Mrs. H asked sitting down at the head of the table.

"Mom you have no idea how fun this is going to be!" Kagome said serving herself some food.

"I can only imagine." she said gazing off into nothingness, thinking of this little vacation…..

"Inuyasha, I'm tired of the beach. Lets go back to the room." Kagome said grabbing Inuyasha's hand and smiling sweetly, shaking her little butt sexily.

"Okay." Inuyasha said as they began walking back to the room. Inuyasha had his arm around Kagome's waist, and he turned his head towards Mrs. H, seeming to look right at her, and he winked then he squeezed one of Kagome's firm butt cheeks, making her giggle wildly.

The everything seems to fast forward and Mrs. H pictured standing over the bed, sheets masking everything, but all she heard was moaning. "Oh Inuyasha, don't stop!" Kagome screamed, making goose bumps appear on Mrs. H's arms.

" Kagome, come on bitch, harder!" Inuyasha yelled from under the covers, making Mrs. H want to cry.

"Mom? Mom?"

"Huh?"

"Are you alright, you had this freaked out look on your face." Kagome said.

"I'm…." then she saw Inuyasha's arm around Kagome's waist. Resting there like it had grown onto her body. " Kagome we need to talk." Mrs. H said standing up and walking into the living room.

"Okay." they went into the living room. Kagome was utterly confused as to why her mom was acting so strange all of a sudden.

"Kagome, what are the sleeping arrangements for this trip going to be like?" Mrs. H asked sitting down on the couch Kagome fallowing suit.

"Well I'm not really sure. Why?" Kagome asked totally embarrassed by this whole conversation, pulling her yellow shorts more, to cover more of her legs.

"You know I respect your decisions, but I don't want you rushing into anything. And don't let Inuyasha pressure you," Mrs. H said smiling as her daughters eyes grew wide.

"Mom are you talking about sex?" Kagome asked lowering her voice., hopping none of the others heard this embarrassing conversation.

"Well technically, yes I am. I do want grandchildren, but I don't want you getting hurt. You understand?" Mrs. H asked grabbing Kagome's hand and squeezing it softly.

"Yes I understand, but mother. I'm not stupid. I can take care of myself, plus Inuyasha wouldn't do that., and Sango's there and she'll stop anything from happening." Kagome said smiling.

"Mothers worry too much sometimes, but I understand that you can handle anything."

"Just a little." Kagome said smiling and holding up her fingers, a centimeter apart. "But it comes with the job."

"Ha-ha I suppose it does." Mrs. H said smiling and both the girls walked back into the dinning room, to find something very interesting.

Miroku and Sango were making out, and Inuyasha was just sitting there looking enraged. Kagome meanwhile, felt like curling up in ball from embarrassment. These where the people who were supposed to be taking care of her on this trip, but here they sat in front of her mom making out. By the time Kagome had changed three shades of red, the love birds where done making out and realized they had just been caught by a grown up making out.

"Sango, Miroku….please explain to me what was just going on." Mrs. H said tapping her foot and smiling.

"We were just exploring our mouths." Miroku said blushing.

"I see. Well you guys better get ready, your time to depart is in 30 minutes." Mrs. H said smiling and trying her hardest not to burst out laughing.

"Inuyasha, are you okay? You look a little upset." Kagome said leaning down and placing her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." Inuyasha said shaking Kagome's hand off and standing up. "I'll get your bags and load them in the car. Inuyasha said grabbing Kagome's bags that where by the door and walked outside, to Sesshomaru's Red hummer, that they would be taking.

Kagome let Inuyasha's little attitude problem go for now. She wanted to go get changed. She decided to go with a plain pare of jeans, and a plain tight black tee. Sango needed help picking out her outfit. Her and Kagome decided on a pair of black knee length pants, and a multi colored tank top.

Everyone loaded up into the red hummer. Inuyasha was driving, Miroku was riding in the passengers side, and Sango and Kagome were in the back. Sango was listening to some Sum 41 song on her black iPod. Kagome was listening to She paints me Blue on her green mini iPod.

"Inuyasha, you don't seem to happy about the trip all of a sudden." Miroku said glancing up from his guide book.

"This whole things had got me thinking. What if Hiten and Kagura decide to attack up at the beach? We're more vulnerable." Inuyasha said getting onto the highway.

"I'm sure they've given up by now don't you think?" Miroku asked suddenly feeling worried.

"I'm not sure, but I'm going to be on top watch." Inuyasha said stealing a glance back at Kagome who was mouthing the words to a song.

"Just don't ruin Kagome's time." Miroku said going back to his book.

'Inuyasha! You better not make Kagome mad on this trip or I'll kill you.' human Inuyasha said giving him a dirty look in the rearview mirror when Inuyasha looked.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Someone help me!" Shiori screamed as the whip make contact with the cage and her side.

"Hiten make this whelp shut up." Kagura said.

"If you would stop hitting her she wouldn't be making noise in the first place." Hiten said. "Listen Kagura, I'm letting her go. She doesn't need this. Shiori I'm going to let you go. I'm not going to see you again ok. Have a good life." Hiten said helping her out of the cage and to the front door, right when Hiten let go of her arm she took off running.

"WHY YOU!" Kagura yelled pulling out a gun.

"Kagura, I'm tired of being evil. I'm heading to Mexico to start a new life." Hiten said walking towards the door. But he never made it. 10 bullets where emptied into his back, killing him.

Kagura was soon found by his body laughing. She was arrested.

Shiori ran as fast as she could. She had memorized Sota's address and wanted to get there as fast as possible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sango, I have to wiz." Kagome said laughing. They had both taken off their headphones and were now talking.

"Tell your lover boy." Sango said laughing and eating another hand full of gummy bears she had brought.

"Oh Inuyasha." Kagome sang as she pocked her head between the seats.

"Yes?" Inuyasha asked smiling slightly at her silliness.

"I have to pee like a pregnant woman." Kagome said laughing at her little weird pee saying.

"What have you two been up to?" Miroku asked adding to the little joke.

"Nothing yet." Kagome said crossing her legs. "But I do have to wiz."

"Alright we'll stop right up here at this town. What's it called Miroku?" Inuyasha asked leaning over to see the map.

"Goku Village. Apparently the have a big population of monkey's. They say it's a spell and that some of them talk on full moons." Miroku said reading his book.

"Sound fun. But unfortunately I just need to pee, not talk to monkey's." Kagome said sitting back in her seat stealing some on Sango's gummies.

They pulled into the town at a gas station. Right away Kagome jumped out of the car and heading in to use the bathroom.

"So Sango enjoying the trip?" Miroku asked grabbing Sango as she was getting out of the car and kissing her passionately.

"Just fine." Sango said pulling Miroku to her and falling into the back of the car, making out, and groping totally involved.

"I'm stuck with a bunch of hormonal kids." Inuyasha mumbled and smiled. In truth he was glade they were having a good time, he just wished Kagome would be more like that. Wanting to make out at every and any chance.

"I'm back from my little bathroom break." Kagome said walking up and standing next to Inuyasha as he pumped the gas.

"Happy to hear." he said smiling and wrapping his arm around Kagome's waist.

"So what was with you this morning? All gloomy and angry?" Kagome asked resting her head on Inuyasha's shoulder.

"I was thinking about Hiten. He could attack while we're trying to have fun, and we'd be more vulnerable." Inuyasha said letting go of Kagome and paying for the gas.

"Oh…I haven't even thought of him." Kagome said frowning at the memories then smiling when she got a bright idea to cheer Inuyasha up. "Well then the whole time I'm at the beach I'll wear a big hat and big black sunglasses and a big coat so no one would think it was me." Kagome said smiling when a look of panic flashed over Inuyasha.

"WHAT? You have to wear a bikini so I can check you out." Inuyasha said without really thinking. Right after Kagome started laughing he realized what he'd said. "I mean…."

"It's ok Inuyasha. That's one reason I can't wait to get there. So I can see you in swim wear and hug you just to make the other girls jealous, and because I want to." Kagome said wrapping her arms around Inuyasha and hugging him tightly.

"Hey you two we want to get there sometime today!" Miroku and Sango yelled giggling like crazy from the backseat. Miroku was still on top of Sango, and they were 'ready' to go.

"Hey, ride up front with me." Inuyasha said lifting Kagome a few inches off the ground so she was his height.

"Ok, if its ok with Miroku." Kagome said holding onto Inuyasha's arms to steady herself more.

"Yo Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked to the front of the car.

"What?" Miroku asked pocking his head up to see.

"Kagome's riding in the front." Miroku just nodded and went back to whatever him and Sango were doing. Inuyasha opened the door for Kagome and placed her in. He then got in and started the hummer. And they were off.

"Hey Inuyasha can I hook my iPod up to the radio, I feel like singing." Kagome said grabbing her iPod and hook up from the back.

"Sure." Kagome hooked it up and scanned threw her lists and found Break Myself and turned it on. The beat echoed through the car before the words started. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome to see her swaying to the music and then heard her lovely voice.

"Well I'm on fire and the day is feeling hopeless. You'd see me burning but the burnings turning smoke less. So now I don't feel at all...no no. And it's electric, the neon heard inside your phone call. The layers sadness in the madness in revolves breaking down the walls, you found out no. I'm willing to break myself to shake this hell from everything I touch. I'm willing to bleed for days my reds and grays so you don't hurt so much. And now I'm static, as your sky is turning purple and gray. I'm learning that the further that I crawl the farther that I fall it that ok? No! And your in pieces as your world becomes a rain storm. You've got no shelter, you're a thousand miles away you'll survive day you say your leaving, say your leaving! I'm willing to beak myself to shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days my reds and grays so you don't hurt so much. So you don't hurt so much. NEVER AGAIN will I hide from the gun, no never again. But your already gone. I'm willing to break myself. I'm not afraid, I'm willing to break myself, I'm not afraid. I'm willing to break myself, I'M NOT AFRAID! I'm willing to break myself to shake this hell from everything I touch. I'm willing to bleed for days my reds and grays so you wouldn't hurt so much. So much. So much. So much, so much." Kagome sang smiling with ever word, getting into it with her heart and soul. It was one of her favorite songs.

"Wow, Kagome you're a really good singer." Inuyasha said in a daze from her lovely voice.

"Thanks" Kagome said as the next song came on. Move Along. She didn't sing but listened as Inuyasha sort of hummed along.

"Move along move along like I know you do. Even when your hope is gone move along." Inuyasha said a little louder starting to tap his finger on the steering wheel.

"Inuyasha, dose someone feel like singing?" Kagome asked placing her hand over Inuyasha's that was rested on the center thing between the seats. He quickly switched to where he was holding her hand. He began to rub her knuckles and make swirls on her skin. Massaging her hand slowly. The next song came on Bringing on the heartache by Def Leppard. "Your bringing on the heart break, your bringing on the heartache. Can't you see, cant you see. No, No, NO." Kagome sang softly resting her hand back on the seat, the feeling of Inuyasha's hand entwined with hers calmed her and she soon feel asleep.

"We're here! Kagome wake up." Inuyasha said shaking her slightly.

"Huh?" Kagome rubbed her eyes with her right hand her left was still with Inuyasha.

"We're at our first stop. It's already about six you slept for quite some time." Inuyasha said letting go of her hand so she could get out of the car.

"We're at a hotel?" Kagome asked her eyes lighting up.

"Yeah."

"Hurry up and get us checked in! I want to check this place out." Kagome sad grabbing her 'fun bag' and running into the hotel lobby. Sango and Miroku were standing there with a cart full of every ones bags.

"So, was sleeping beauty awoken with the princes kiss?" Miroku asked getting a playful wack from Kagome. Inuyasha came and checked in. Then they all got in the elevator and took it up to the 12th floor and got out. This floor was for the suites. Kagome grabbed the key from Inuyasha and opened their room door. It was huge! They had their own hot tube in the middle on the living room.

"MY GOSH! This place is huge!" Kagome yelled running and jumping onto one of the three queen size beds.

"I'm going skinny dipping in the hot tube!" Sango said closing the door on the guys and taking off her close and sliding into the worm bubbly water. Kagome walked back to the door and opened it for the guys. Miroku rushed in took off his cloths. Giving everyone a good look of his goodies and then getting into the hot tube with Sango who giggle and scooted away from Miroku. Who was totally relaxed by the hot water.

"Well, you guys have fun. I'm going to check out the mountain view. Kagome said walking out onto the balcony. It looked like a clear drop into a river if you looked down. She could see people tubing down the river and suddenly wanted to go. But she finally looked straight ahead and there where the mountains, enormous and beautiful. It nearly took Kagome's breath away how pretty it was. "I'm so going tubing." Kagome said running back into the room nearly running over Inuyasha. She grabbed her bag and headed for the bathroom. She came out wearing really short jean shorts over her bikini bottoms. She was wearing a rainbow bikini, the top was tie-dye and so was the bottom but you couldn't see.

"Wow Kagome you look hot." Miroku said getting a wack from Inuyasha.

"You look so cute Kagome." Sango said smiling at her friend who blushed.

"Thanks I saw some people down there tubing down the river and while I was in the bathroom they have a map and the river in a few miles long and goes in a circle and since there is a few more hours of day light I want to go." Kagome said grabbing her water proof back pack that had her cell and water proof digital camera in it.

"Count me in." Inuyasha said appearing from the bathroom wearing some red swim trunks.

"Anyone else?" Kagome asked.

"No, I'm going to stay here." Sango and Miroku said sending each other these looks, you could tell they were going to make out or something the whole time.

"Ok. See you guys later." Kagome said grabbing Inuyasha's hand and walking out of the room, and right into a group of the collage football players that came here to relax and have fun during the summer.

"Ops. Sorry guys." Kagome said squeezing Inuyasha's hand tighter as she tried to walked around the hot, tall, tan, football players.

"Yo babe. What are you doing tonight?" asked on of them, Kagome presumed to be the quarterback. He was the skinniest, but just as tall as Inuyasha, and he was tall to her. The guy had light brown hair and gray eyes, this was an American football team, or just a bunch of tall, hot, tan American guys. Good thing everyone nower days spoke English.

"Nothing, just plan on cuddling with my boy friend." Kagome said taking a step back into Inuyasha's arms.

"Dude she has somebody." said one of the other guys, but Kagome didn't look away from the guy she was talking to, he was the more troublesome.

"So, you her boy?" he asked looking at Inuyasha.

"Yeah." Inuyasha said pulling Kagome closer to him.

"Mind if the team gets a taste of her? We've been look for a sex puppet and your girl is hot, and exactly what I'm looking for." he said licking his lips as he scanned Kagome's body.

"Yeah I sure as hell mind! I'm not letting a pretty boy like you take advantage of Kagome." Inuyasha said glaring at the guy.

"Her names Kagome? Sexy. I'm Chris, you wanna ride me?" Chris asked taking a step closer to Kagome.

"Yeah sure I wanna ride you. But unfortunately for you, my boy friend is the first person who I'm going to do that to, and that may take awhile since he's so hot! And big that it'll take some time to adjust myself so unless you want to wait quite some time, I would move on. Lets go Inuyasha." Kagome said pulling Inuyasha with her as she walked to the elevator and pushed the down button praying it would hurry up and get here.

"Hey bitch! You don't talk to me like that." Chris said walking over to where Kagome was standing.

"Listen Chris was it, your cute, but honestly I have a commitment to my boy friend and cheating on him isn't something that's going to happen." Kagome said from behind Inuyasha who was standing between her and Chris.

"Fine, but you want to change you mind we're in room 123" Chris said walking away to his room right when the elevator arrived. Inuyasha and Kagome walked in and right away Kagome arms were around Inuyasha hugging him as a few tears slid from her eyes.

"That was so scary!" Kagome said her tears running down Inuyasha's bare chest.

"Its ok . You handled yourself nicely. Plus I'm so turned on as to how hot you look when your yelled at someone." Inuyasha said stroking her hair and then leaning down so his mouth was right next to her ear. "Plus, who couldn't love a girl who walks around in a sexy little outfit like that?" Inuyasha whispered and then sucking on part of Kagome's ear making her get chills.

Then the elevator doors opened and they got out. They walked out of the hotel and down to the river where a line was to rent tubes. After waiting for a few minutes they had one big boat like tube so they could be on the same one. A lot of the couples had one.

"Ready to face the river?" Inuyasha asked setting Kagome on the raft and began pushing it into the water.

"You bet." Kagome said pulling out her camera and taking a picture of
Inuyasha while he was pushing the raft. Soon Inuyasha was on the raft too and they were flouting down the river at a nice pace.

"Kagome let me get a picture of you, dunk your head in the water. This is water proof right?" Inuyasha asked.

"Best there is." Kagome said leaning down and sticking her head in the water, she brought it up and just as she was flipping her hair Inuyasha took the picture and Inuyasha planned it so she looked sexy. "Let me see." Kagome said grabbing the camera and looked at the picture. "I look like something from a magazine." Kagome said looking up at Inuyasha to see him looking at her fondly.

"Your better than a magazine." Inuyasha said taking note of the other couples. They were either making out or cuddling. Him and Kagome were talking and having fun. Were they different? As a couple?

"Inuyasha we should get someone to take a picture of us together." Kagome said looking around for a person who was alone. She spotted an old man and quickly sped up the raft to catch up to him. "Excuse me sir. Would you mind taking a picture of us?" Kagome asked.

"Why sure honey." he said taking the camera. Kagome sat cross-legged and Inuyasha was on his knees behind her his arms around her. Click. "Lets have another do something affectionate." the guy said looking up from the camera.

"Ok." Inuyasha said leaning down and kissing Kagome. Somehow the old guy got the perfect angle and Click. Then Inuyasha started kissing Kagome's neck tickling her making her laugh Click. Then he pushed her onto her back and laid next to her rubbing her tummy. Click. Then Inuyasha just sat there and both on them turned and looked at the camera not smiling exactly, but they looked happy Click.

"There you go kids." the guy said handing Inuyasha the camera and flouting away.

"Lets see the pictures." Kagome said looking over Inuyasha's shoulder as he looked through the pictures. "I like those." Kagome said sitting back on the raft and pulling Inuyasha with her. "Inuyasha what do you think Miroku and Sango are doing?" Kagome asked laying her head on Inuyasha's chest running her hands over his toned stomach and abs

"Probably having sex." Inuyasha said sighing.

"Don't say that! I don't want to sleep in a room that smells of sex." Kagome said laughing and lifting her head so she could see Inuyasha's face. He looked like he was waiting for her to do something but she didn't know what exactly he wanted so she decided to ask. "Inuyasha, are you only in this relationship for sex?" Kagome asked wished she hadn't.

"NO! I love you Kagome, do you ever fucking question that." Inuyasha said his amber eyes piercing threw Kagome like painful daggers.

"I'm sorry. I just always notice you looking like you want more, but you never say anything." Kagome said sitting up to get out of Inuyasha's reach.

"I do want more, but not until your ready. I don't want to hurt you Kagome. God damn it! Don't you get it Kagome? I love you. I'd die for you, I'd change my being if you asked. I just don't want you getting hurt anymore." Inuyasha yelled grabbing Kagome's shoulders and shaking her.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as she started to cry her tears running down her face leaving trails.

"Kagome, don't cry. I just," he couldn't take it anymore. He puller to him tightly, her sobs was the only noise he was paying attention to. Those heart wrenching sobs and the tears from them running down his chest like fire burning his soul, but he date not move. Kagome's arms snaked around Inuyasha's neck and he slowly laid down on the raft Kagome slightly on top pf him. "Kagome, I love you. You know that right?" Inuyasha asked lifting her face to look at him.

"I know, but I'm scared of you." Kagome said her true feeling coming out. "You make me feel like someone else, and like I could do anything and everything. I'm scared of you because you make me so happy. And I'm just not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be." Kagome said.

"Duh silly. Being in love is being stupid together, and that's how we are. You don't need to be afraid. I'll always be here to protect you, to love you, to make you laugh." Inuyasha said sitting up but making Kagome stay. He sat on top of her, a leg on either side of her. He grabbed the camera and took a picture of Kagome under him. "Take one of me."

"Ok." Kagome grabbed the camera, she aimed it up at him. He was looking down at her fondly and content. The dark blue sky was behind him. You could even see the moon pecking out from the sky. "Perfect." Kagome said smiling up at Inuyasha and he smiled back, he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips getting a little sigh from Kagome making him laugh a little.

"Kagome you know I love you right?" Inuyasha asked.

"I know you love me." Kagome said smiling up at Inuyasha who rolled over and lid next to her, both on their sides facing each other, they were really happy just to be with each other.

By the time Inuyasha and Kagome got back to the room it was 12 at night. After their raft romance they went to dinner and had crab. 20lbs of it. And everyone knows how long it takes to get all the meat from just one crab. They came up to the room smelling like fish and were full and happy.

Sango and Miroku on the other hand were now watching TV and were dressed.

"Looks like you guys had fun." Miroku said standing up with envy at how happy the couple looked.

"We had the best time! The rafting was so fun! And then eating all that crab. Oh, it was so good I wish I wasn't so full so I could get more." Kagome said setting down her bag and jumping onto the spare bed. "What are the sleeping arrangements?" she asked sitting up her black hair flouting up with her.

"You and Inuyasha get to share a bed and Sango and I Get our own." Miroku said laying back down on his bed nestling into the covers.

"Sounds fine to me. I'm just going to shower." Kagome said making her way over to the bathroom with her bag.

"There's two bathing things so you and Inuyasha can get clean at the same time." Sango said winking at Kagome who blushed and said ok. So both Kagome and Inuyasha made their way to the bathroom.

"I'll go in first since I will be taking bath then I'll say when you can come in." Kagome said closing the door behind her. After a few minutes she said he could come in.

Inuyasha walked in and there she was sitting in the tub with a few little piled of bubbles here and there. Her hair was wet and hung down her back. "Inuyasha it feels si good to be clean." Kagome said getting out her sponge and putting soap on it, wet it and began cleaning her skin taking off some dirt and filth that comes from walking threw the day.

"I bet it dose." Inuyasha said starting the shower and taking off his trunks and grabbing a towel to cover himself as he walked over to the tub and grabbing some body soap Miroku said he'd left for him. "Sorry." Inuyasha said grabbing the soap and without being able to control himself took a glance at Kagome. Her important parts covered by water and bubbles but the fact that she was sitting there vulnerable to him, wet and innocent drove him nearly mad. He quickly ran and jumped into the shower closing the foggy class door behind him.

"Oh, that felt so good to be clean." Kagome said getting out of the tub totally naked. Inuyasha couldn't help it. He pretended to still be washing but he looked through the class at the blurry image of the naked Kagome. She walked across the bathroom to get a towel putting on quite a show for Inuyasha. Even thought he couldn't see every little detail of her beautiful body it was enough to get him a little excited. "Inuyasha have you see the towels?" Kagome asked, just the fact that she called his name out while he was in his current predicament made him get even more excited.

"N…no." Inuyasha stuttered turning away from the class door because of his growing excitement. The fact he was even getting so excited over a blurry image of her he turn red with embarrassment.

"Found them!" Kagome sang as she pranced across the bathroom nearly slipping on the wet floor. "Wow! That was close." she said as she reached the vanity and her bag.

"That's good." Inuyasha managed to say as he finished up his shower. He turned back to the glass window to see what Kagome was doing. She was drying off her body. After that he watched her put on a big gray shirt that said 'Smile I'm here' on it. Then she put on some lose pink sweat pants. She then took out her brush and began brushing her black hair and then blow drying it a little so it wasn't as wet. By the time she was done Inuyasha had turned off the water.

"You need me to get your towel?" Kagome asked turning and facing the shower.

"Please." Inuyasha said backing away from the door a little. Kagome walked to where Inuyasha had hung his towel and grabbed it. She walked over to the shower door and waited for Inuyasha to open it. When he finally did it was barely enough to fit the towel through but Inuyasha grabbed it quickly and Kagome walked back to the sink and began washing her face. Then she brushed her teeth and waltzed out of the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Inuyasha finally stepped out of the shower his member still rock hard. "Shit! That was close." Inuyasha said leaning against the bathroom wall and sighing. He walked over to his bag and pulled out some blue and black boxers. He then brushed his teeth dried some of his hair with his towel and walked out into the darkness of the room. He found the bed Kagome was in and she was under the covers. He pulled them up and was engulfed in light.

"Hi Inuyasha." Kagome said finishing up her journal entry but not turning off the book light. "Are Sango and Miroku asleep?"

"Yeah." Inuyasha said listening for the breathing and nodding.

"Inuyasha I just wanted to thank you. For nothing wanting to rush things, and helping me take life step by step. And for the wonderful river rafting." Kagome said stroking Inuyasha's ears and hair softly.

"Keh. It's nothing, really." Inuyasha said looking at Kagome. She looked tired and he could smell her need for sleep. He suddenly reached over and shut off the book light and leaned over and put her diary on the side table. "You need sleep, tomorrow is going to be a big day." Inuyasha said pulling Kagome to his bear chest and wrapping his arms around her.

"Inuyasha, I love you." Kagome whispered softly before falling into comfortable sleep.

"I love you….Kagome."
