The Crystal Wish

Chapter 2

By Inu Esca Fanatic

Suddenly without warning, she felt his warm lips upon hers. It took her a second to realize what had happened, but soon she closed her eyes and began to kiss back.

When they finally pulled apart for air they were both in a daze. Then Kagome said in a breathless voice, "Wow! That was amazing," She blushed an odd shade of red as she opened her eyes and looked at him, "Why did you kiss me?"

The hanyou looked down at the ground shamefully and stammered frantically, "Gomen nasai…I didn't mean to…I'm…I don't know…what come over me. Please forgive me."

"Why are you sorry?" Kagome inquired awkwardly, "Did you hate it?"

Inuyasha looked up at her, surprised that he had not gotten a few oswari's as a response. He shook his head and spoke honestly, "No, I didn't hate it. I thought you hated it."

"Of course not, Inuyasha. On the contrary, I loved it. But still…why did you kiss me?"

Inuyasha looked into her eyes for the first time that night and with all of his heart he said, "I wanted to kiss you before it was too late."

Kagome just sat there, not moving a muscle, afraid that if she moved she would realize this was all a dream. Just then Inuyasha said something that snapped her back to reality.

"Gomen…what did you say? I didn't hear you." She asked embarrassed that she wasn't paying attention.

He looked at her confused, but said, "I said, 'what are we going to do now.' "

Then it was Kagome's turn to look confused and she said, "What do mean by that?"

Inuyasha blushed when he realized he was referring to the kiss. "I don't know," he replied sadly. 'What if she doesn't want me around anymore because she's going to die?'

Seeing a worried expression cross over his face she spoke quickly, "It's not that I don't want us to be together. It's just that I think we should wait until we finish the jewel. I mean all we need are the two shards Koga has, but he's been avoiding us since the final battle with Naraku, when you nearly killed him two months ago."

"Of course, nobody misses with me," Inuyasha said while he puffed out his chest proudly.

Kagome rolled her eyes and shook her head, "Yeah, yeah, you're such a big, bad hotshot," Kagome said sarcastically.

Inuyasha looked at her strangely and said oddly, "What does that mean?"

"Nothing…Never mind"

"Okay…Whatever."

Kagome and Inuyasha locked eyes with each other, in a bit of a daze, as they began to speak in dreamy voices.

"You know, you have very pretty eyes," Inuyasha said.

"Really?"

"Really."

"You do too."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

Inuyasha moved closer to her.

"What do you like about them?" he asked in an odd, but sweet voice.

"The fact that I can, so easily, drown in those beautiful, amber depths," Kagome whispered as she leaned forward toward him.

Just as they began to kiss again, something suddenly slammed into Kagome's stomach, forcing her back away from Inuyasha.

AN- I got chapter two up faster than I would have thought, so be expecting chapter three up in the next few days. Please R&R.
