:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(Clearing her throat she gave Inuyasha a look. Ignoring her he leaned down closer to her face. He was so close their lips were almost brushing against each other.
"Kagome........," Inuyasha whispered nervously....................)
Kagome could feel her cheeks going red and when Inuyasha finally went for it she turned her head to the side, feeling his lips softly graze her cheek. "Inuyasha," she managed to choke out, somehow feeling that this was wrong, "Inuyasha, please.........let me up." He ashamedly stood and helped her up. She could feel his hand shaking and wondered if he was really that cold. Wrapping her arms around herself she watched his bright red face and couldn't help but smile. He was so cute when he blushed.
Inuyasha felt confused. He thought she liked him. At least maybe a little.... But why had she moved away? He scowled at his own stupidity and crossed his arms across his chest, pouting like a little kid. (A/N: awwwww. huggles) He felt that he shouldn't be too surprised. She and that whiny human deserved each other.
Kagome watched Inuyasha's face change as he seemed to be having an inner conflict and wondered if she should break the silence. 'Why couldn't you just kiss him you stupid girl!' she scolded herself. He finally does something that hints towards him liking her and she shoves him away. Way to go. She sighed heavily and Inuyasha seemed to come back to reality.
"Well........um, it's......it's kinda cold......," he stuttered awkwardly, feeling slightly depressed, "maybe we should....."
His words were cut off as Kagome stepped forward, on impulse, and pulled his face down to hers. His arms automatically went around her waist. It didn't take him long to respond as he pulled her in, deepening the kiss. He was completely in shock at her actions. This wasn't at all what he had expected. All the scenarios in his mind of their first kiss involved lots of physical and verbal abuse ending with a 'sit boy'. He felt as though they were locked together and time slowed, letting him enjoy each and every second.
Their kiss broke and both gasped for air. It didn't take Inuyasha long to come back for more and Kagome was surprised to find that somehow they had ended up in the snow again. Kagome pulled back and held him at a distance, not trusting herself.
"What exactly are we doing?" she asked softly. Inuyasha looked confused and tried to lean closer again.
"Well, I don't know about you, but I assumed we were kissing," he smirked. Kagome sighed slightly in exasperation and Inuyasha rolled to the side and jumped up. "What? I'm not good enough for you?! You want your pathetic 'school friend' to come back? Is that it?!"
"You were spying on me?!" Kagome yelled accusingly. Inuyasha smirked and crossed his arms. His mind was screaming 'stop before it's too late you moron' but, as usual, he ignored his common sense.
"Well, maybe if you didn't have fun with every guy that passes through your front door then I would have to." Kagome went red and pushed herself up, angry and embarrassed.
"Shutup!" she snapped and slapped him loudly across the face. "You never cared before and you shouldn't care now! All you ever do is go crawling back to Kikyo! At least Hojo like me the way I am, not because I look like his ex! She'll never love you and all you can do is grovel and beg her to take you back! I'm sick of trying to win your affections for myself! When was the last time you actually saw ME?!"
Inuyasha cowered back from the angry girl, holding his face. 'Baka!' he cursed inwardly, 'you just couldn't shutup could you?'
"Kagome........," he whispered, trying to word an apology.
"It's not fair," she spoke quietly, more to herself now. "Kikyo wins no matter what I do. You don't even see me. Even if I love........." Her words trailed off, unfinished, and her voice quivered with a long hidden pain. Feeling tears well up in her eyes, Kagome turned her back to Inuyasha.
He gently touched her back, but she shrugged him off and ran into the house. Inuyasha stood speechless and his mind was a blur of thoughts. 'She actually cares about me?' Inuyasha thought with wonder. But why? I don't deserve any kindness after the way I treat her. I......I guess I act that way so she won't like me and I can't hurt her. Well that crappy plan sure worked!
He sighed loudly and brushed the melting snow off of himself. "I should have shut my mouth when I had the chance," he admitted to the half-finished snowman. It didn't respond, but he knew he was a jerk whether or not anyone told him he was. "I have to make it up to her......."
Inuyasha took a deep breath and headed indoors. He stopped and studied the clock thing Kagome had taught him to read. 3:00? He knew how to read the stupid thing, but what was the point? It was useless. Just like him.
It seemed like all he had been doing for the past couple days is screwing up and apologizing. Women are so confusing! Bloody hell! One minute they're all over you and the next they're questioning YOUR motives. She kissed ME godamnit! Snarling in frustration, he kicked the edge of the couch and cautiously headed for Kagome's room. He could hear muffled sobs on the other side and felt extremely guilty. Why do I always do the wrong thing?!
Taking one last deep breath, Inuyasha pushed open the door and stood awkwardly by the bed watching Kagome cry. Her head was buried in the pillow and she was hugging it tightly. His heart wretched painfully and he hated that he as doing this to her. He placed a gentle hand on her back and Kagome's head jerked up towards him, revealing her tear-stained face.
She glared at him, her beautiful eyes filling with more tears. The sorrowful look she was giving him drove him crazy. He wanted to scream 'I'm sorry!' until his throat was hoarse. He couldn't stand it any longer and drew her into a tight hug, trying desperately not to lose control of his own emotions.
Fighting against him at first, Kagome finally surrendered and let him hold her. If would have been comforting if it weren't for the fact that Inuyasha was the cause of her pain in the first place. Kagome felt hurt and angry. Why would he, no, how could he come in here like this after being such a prick?! Pushing him back, she looked at him with questioning eyes.
Inuyasha knew she was waiting for him to say something, anything, but looking into her eyes took his words away.
"I.....," he choked on his words, "I.......don't know how to word what I'm feeling........" Kagome gave him a strange look and her eyes drifted down to the floor. A small gasped escaped her lips when he pulled her face up to his and kissed her deeply. She knew what he was trying to say. It was the same thing she had been hiding from him for a long time. Or at least, that's what she wanted to believe. Her body began to respond without her, knowing how she really felt, even if she wouldn't admit it. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.
He moved and adjusted himself so she was gathered up in his lap and kissed her greedily. Kagome retaliated accordingly and both had to stop for a moment to breathe, locked in a passionate embrace.
"I love you......," he murmured against her lips. Kagome's mind reeled with a million thoughts at once and she felt more tears running down her face.
"Do you have any idea how long I've been hoping to hear those words?!" she whispered fiercely, "I love you so much! Stupid hanyou!"
Inuyasha wasn't sure if she was angry with him or just upset that he didn't tell her sooner. His fingers entwined in her hair as he pulled her back to him. Inuyasha couldn't stop kissing her and he knew that, because of how strongly he felt for her at the moment, that if his demon side took over it could be dangerous. His kisses burned down her neck and Kagome felt Inuyasha's warm hands slid up the back of her shirt, pulling her as close as humanly possible.
When she opened her eyes, she could see Inuyasha's eyes burning into hers, begging her to make him stop. Untangling herself from him, she held him back and noticed with concern that his golden eyes were tinged with red. He growled and tried to pull her back to him.
"No!" she yelped, trying to keep his hands from going wherever they pleased. He threw himself off the bed and held his head in his hands until the feelings passed. Inuyasha's whole body shook with longing, but he wasn't going to let himself take her like this. 'NO!' he mentally screamed.
Kagome knelt down beside him and stroked his hair. When he finally looked up at her, she was relieved to see his eyes were back to normal. "You alright?" Kagome asked with concern. He simply nodded and trembled under her touch.
"Please.....I'm sorry.....forgive me. I get......a little carried away....sometimes......" Kagome heard a door slam and jumped in surprise. Her mom must be home early. Quickly shoving Inuyasha into a chair by her desk, she headed down the hall, into the living room and smiled innocently at her mother.
"Hi mom! You're home early!" Her mother gave her a suspicious look and reached out to feel her forehead. "Honey, your burning up and your all flushed. Are you feeling all right? Your hair could use a brush too." Kagome shook her head.
"I'm fine," she lied. Her mom shrugged and continued to watch her carefully. "I finished all my shopping early and I still have a few things to do around the house. Oh, which reminds me, is Inuyasha staying for dinner?"
"I think so....." Kagome replied, knowing that she probably couldn't get him to leave now if she wanted to. "Well you two go do whatever it is that teenagers do in their spare time and I'll call you when everyone is back and dinner is ready."
"Kay, mom. Thanks."
Hurrying back to her room, her looked around in confusion. Where was Inuyasha? The door shut behind her and she turned to see a grinning Inuyasha staring at her. "Hey!" she giggled when he scooped her up effortlessly into his arms and carried her to the bed. "Put me down!"
"I was planning on it," he smiled seductively. Kissing her neck, he laid her down on the bed and she swatted him away, laughing. Inuyasha pouted and half-heartedly tried to grab her back again. She dodged his attack and hopped to her feet.
"Do you want to go for a walk or something?" Kagome asked, still resisting his feeble attempts. "I'll go for the 'something'," he grinned. Kagome shook her head and Inuyasha watched her grab her jacket from a chair. "Come on, lazy!" Moping, he dragged himself behind her.
500 years in the past
Shippo jumped up and down on Miroku's head until he woke up groaning. "Shippo! Knock it off!" Shippo pulled on his hair impatiently.
"Come on! I wanna find Kagome and Inuyasha! I wanna go now!" Rolling over, Miroku glared at him. "Couldn't this wait until morning? Or afternoon?" Shippo pouted sadly, but they've been gone for three days now....." Miroku sighed and glanced over at Sango's sleeping form.
"Go bother her. I'm sure Sango will help you." Shippo whined and poked at Miroku until he was ready to go insane. "FINE! I'll help you find them!" Dancing around happily, Shippo jumped on Sango accidentally and she jerked awake, ready to kill Miroku.
"Oh. It's you," she said smiling at Shippo. She hugged the excited kitsune and looked questioningly at Miroku. Miroku just shook his head. Sango got up, stretching and yawning loudly. "So what's up?"
"We're gonna find Inuyasha!" Shippo squealed happily. Sango shot Miroku a 'you handle this' look and he simply smirked at her. A loud sighed escaped her lips.
"All right. Get your stuff and we'll head out when you're ready." Shippo hugged her leg and ran to grab some food and a pack.
Sango sat down near Miroku. "I'm gonna kill you when we get back," she growled. He shrugged as if it were a comment she made every day. (A/N: she probably does. lol) She shook her head and slung her giant boomerang over her shoulder. "Come on Shippo. Hurry up!"
Shippo came running and leapt over Miroku. "Ready!" The woman and kitsune set out at a moderate pace and a couple minutes later an out of breath Miroku came running up. Once caught up with them, he matched their pace. "What do you want?" Sango asked with distaste.
"Well, I thought I'd keep you company......."
"You don't want to stay behind by yourself do you?" Sango smirked.
"No," Miroku pouted, hanging his head.
"All right then. Shutup and walk." The three stopped shortly by the well and Sango gently lowered Shippo in. Miroku received a loud smack when his hand traveled a little too low helping Sango into the well. Miroku jumped in last and didn't notice the dark shadow, watching them go, in the nearby trees.
Koga stepped out from his hiding place smiling thoughtfully. "So they're going to find Kagome, hmmmm? I guess I'd better help out....... I'll show her that stupid dog demon doesn't deserve her. I'll make her mine at last."

Inuyasha: Hey!

Shippo jumped up and down on Miroku's head until he woke up groaning. "Shippo! Knock it off!" Shippo pulled on his hair impatiently.
"Come on! I wanna find Kagome and Inuyasha! I wanna go now!" Rolling over, Miroku glared at him. "Couldn't this wait until morning? Or afternoon?" Shippo pouted sadly, but they've been gone for three days now....." Miroku sighed and glanced over at Sango's sleeping form.
"Go bother her. I'm sure Sango will help you." Shippo whined and poked at Miroku until he was ready to go insane. "FINE! I'll help you find them!" Dancing around happily, Shippo jumped on Sango accidentally and she jerked awake, ready to kill Miroku.
"Oh. It's you," she said smiling at Shippo. She hugged the excited kitsune and looked questioningly at Miroku. Miroku just shook his head. Sango got up, stretching and yawning loudly. "So what's up?"
"We're gonna find Inuyasha!" Shippo squealed happily. Sango shot Miroku a 'you handle this' look and he simply smirked at her. A loud sighed escaped her lips.
"All right. Get your stuff and we'll head out when you're ready." Shippo hugged her leg and ran to grab some food and a pack.
Sango sat down near Miroku. "I'm gonna kill you when we get back," she growled. He shrugged as if it were a comment she made every day. (A/N: she probably does. lol) She shook her head and slung her giant boomerang over her shoulder. "Come on Shippo. Hurry up!"
Shippo came running and leapt over Miroku. "Ready!" The woman and kitsune set out at a moderate pace and a couple minutes later an out of breath Miroku came running up. Once caught up with them, he matched their pace. "What do you want?" Sango asked with distaste.
"Well, I thought I'd keep you company......."
"You don't want to stay behind by yourself do you?" Sango smirked.
"No," Miroku pouted, hanging his head.
"All right then. Shutup and walk." The three stopped shortly by the well and Sango gently lowered Shippo in. Miroku received a loud smack when his hand traveled a little too low helping Sango into the well. Miroku jumped in last and didn't notice the dark shadow, watching them go, in the nearby trees.
Koga stepped out from his hiding place smiling thoughtfully. "So they're going to find Kagome, hmmmm? I guess I'd better help out....... I'll show her that stupid dog demon doesn't deserve her. I'll make her mine at last."

Author: Duh duh duh! (evil theme music) And the plot thickens!
Inuyasha: ::smiles happily:: Yay! I got kissed! It's about damn time!
Author: ::sighs and shakes her head::Well......that was quite an "eventful" chapter, was it not? Heehee. I'm so happy, but everyone knows a certain dog demon is probably going to screw everything up again.
Inuyasha: Hey!
Author: I apologize for the lemonish parts, but you all know you loved it. :P My friend suggested putting actual lemon into the story, but I'm a little squeamish about writing that kind of stuff. I'll let it be up to the readers. If you guys want a lemon chapter then say that you do or don't in your next review. It will be in the next couple chapters or something like that. Probably in chapter six or so. I dunno yet. I doubt that Chelsey will want any lemon at all. ::grins:: So innocent.
Chelsey: ::glares:: Shutup! Or I won't review. Ever again!
Author: Nooooooooooooooo! I'm sorry! ::bows down at her feet:: Forgive me.
Chelsey: ::smirks:: Yah, that's right. You'd better be sorry.
Inuyasha: ::grins at Chelsey:: Hello there. So you've come back to me have you?
Chelsey: ::laughs:: In your dreams.
Inuyasha: ::pouts as Chelsey disappears in a poof of smoke::
Author: Soooo.......yah. Please R&R. REVIEW FOR THE SAKE OF THE ORPHANED MOOGLES! Every review creates a five-cent profit that goes towards feeding and clothing them. Some are even getting a chance to go to school!
Cute little moogle: Somebody reviewed this story and I got a new pompom! Now the other moogles don't make fun of me anymore! I'm so happy. ::smiles cutely and innocently::
Readers: Awwwwwwwwwwwww.
Author: ::grins:: I'm going to ask for seven reviews for this chapter. Why? Because I can. Lol. Plus I don't have tons of free time to type up a new chapter every couple days. Man you people review fast, and I love you for it. Also, seven is an original number. Everyone else says "I want five! I want five!" Well I'm breaking free! SEVEN I SAY! Is it just me, or is a roof a substitute for sky? Well I won't take it anymore!!!! No more substitutes! I want the real thing dammit! RISE UP AND JOIN ME! DON'T LET THOSE COPORATE BASTARDS FORCE YOU INTO ACCEPTING SKY SUBSTITUTE! DEMAND THE REAL THING! REAL!!!! WE WANT SKY, WE WANT SKY, WE WANT SKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this momentary lapse of sanity has been brought to you by AshNat Productions (R) lol.
Sorry. Anyway, the insanity shall stop now and again I humbly ask for you to review. And feel free to praise and criticize anything that you liked or didn't like. I love suggestions. I really appreciate Cloud Bahamut's review because he brought to my attention that I spelled Hojo's name wrong. Stuff like that is constructive criticism and it really helps me, as a writer, to fix stuff up. Anyway, thank you all for reading and REVIEWING! (which means you actually have to do it. :P) See you all next chapter. Don't forget to say whether or not you want me to write a lemon chapter! :D Thankies!
