Inuyasha walked down the street without a care. It had started snowing a while ago. His hair was damp from it. He just pushed it back from his face. He had realized it but when he became aware of it, he was laying a bench in the park. He knew where he was. It wasn't too far from his house. Now if only he could move. His body was numb from the cold. He closed his eyes. He felt asleep soon after. He knew he was a bad idea to sleep in his current state but he couldn't help. He was achy, tired and cold.

When he came to, an angel was looming over him. An angel with long brown hair and worried green eyes. She looked a lot like…

"Alex?"

"Inuyasha? Thank god, you're awake."

"Alex? What are you doing here?"

"I was walking my dog when I saw you. Why are sleeping in the park. It's snowing."

"Oh!"

He tried to sit but his body was stiffed. He groaned and with her help he managed to sit up.

"God! You're freezing cold and you're bleeding."

He grunted.

"Come on. We better get you out of the snow before you catch pneumonia."

"Where are we going?"

"I'm taking you to my house. It's only two minutes from here."

She helped him up. He leaned against her until he got his bearing. The two minutes walk to her house seemed like forever. After three falls and two skids, they finally made it.

"Thank God, Grandpa chose this week to be hospitalized and mom and dad had to visit and spend the weekend with him." She said.

She sat him down and took off his jacket and boots. She brought him up to her bedroom. Inuyasha was barely awake. He couldn't even stand straight.

"Stay here. I'll go look for something for you to wear. In the meantime, you might want to get out of your wet clothes."

She went to her brother's room from across hers. She hoped that he hadn't taken all of his clothes with him to school. After looking around for a few minutes, she found a pair of grey sweatpants. She returned to her room to find Inuyasha sprawled on top her bed. He had done as she asked and had taken off his jeans and shirt. Now he was glad in his boxers and undershirt. If she wasn't so worry about him, she would have swooned over the fact that her crush was sleeping in her bed in his boxers. She could hardly restrain herself from climbing in with him. She could certainly offer her body warmth.

Alex flushed from her train of thought. She pulled the covers over him. She then went to the bathroom and wetted a towel. She returned to the bedroom and sat next to his sleeping form. She gently cleansed the blood from his face. He winced when she ran the towel over his bruised lip. Once she was done with her task, she turned off the lights and before she left the room she picked his clothes and brought them downstairs to clean. She put them in the dryer.

"Look's like I'll be sleeping in Dante's room tonight." She said. "Come on Avalon, it's time for bed." She said to her puppy.

She changed her clothes and put on her pajamas. With Avalon at her feet, she settled down to sleep.

Kagome and Sesshoumaru rolled away from each other. They were both panting heavily and desperately trying to bring air back to their deprived lungs. She turned on her side to face him. She smiled and he returned it with a grin of his own.

"You're an animal." She said.

"Celibacy tends to do that a guy." He said.

She rolled her eyes.

"I need a shower. I'm all sticky."

"Good idea."

He got out of bed and without warning lift her in his arms and carried her to the bathroom. He set her down.

"Stay here. I'll get us some towels." He said.

She nodded. He left the room not caring that he was naked. She shrugged and stared the shower. Once the water was warm enough, she stepped into the stall. The warm water was heavenly working out the kinks from her previous activity. Kagome blushed. She was no longer a virgin. She had finally given her V-card to her boyfriend. She felt a delicious shudder ran down her spine just thinking about their lovemaking. It was just…there just were no words to describe.

Granted their first try wasn't perfect. It fucking hurt like hell but he was so gentle. The way he touch her was very different from the other time he had touch her. Sure, they had made out before and he had touched her quite often. But this time, his touch wasn't the touch of just a boyfriend but that of a lover. Gaahh…she couldn't describe it. It was just special…fantastic…magical.

She squealed when Sesshoumaru stepped into the shower stall and pulled her against her.

"What are thinking about?"

"Nothing really."

"Ummm…"

He nuzzled her neck.

"Come on, let's shower and go to bed." She said.

He nodded. They washed each other and no time they were out of the shower. He dried her body and then himself. He handed her one of his shirt. She kissed him and wrapped her arms around her neck.

"Thanks."

He carried her back to the room. While she was in the shower, Sesshoumaru had changed the sheets on his bed. She crawled in bed suddenly feeling tired. Today's activities finally catching up to her. He put on a pair of silk pajamas pants and crawled in bed with her.

"G'night, love."

She mumbled incoherently and snuggled closer to him. He turned off the light and followed her into dreamland.

Miroku parked the car in front of Sango's house. He was glad things had turned out the way they did. He had finally worked up the courage to tell the girl he loved about his feelings. He was surprised when he learned that these feelings were requited as well. Their friends hadn't lied after all. She really fell the same way about him.

"Well, I better get inside." She said.

"Sure."

She got out of the car and he did the same. He walked her to her door.

"Wanna hang out tomorrow?" he asked.

"Sure."

"Great then I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah."

She kissed his cheek before she went inside. He so wanted to kiss her lips but he didn't want to push her. No sense in ruined their burgeoning relationship. There would plenty of time for that later. Right now he had to make her feel comfortable with him. They were more than just friends now. They were boyfriend and girlfriend. He grinned to himself.

Alex woke up early morning by a loud crash which was followed by an even louder bark. She pushed the covers off her and sat at the edge of the bed trying to get her bearing. Another crash sounded followed by voices.

"What the hell." She said.

Her first thought was that her parents were home and they had found Inuyasha in her bed. But as she listened closely, she heard only two masculine voices. One she immediately recognized as her crush and the other as her brother.

"Oh! No Dante's home."

She ran out of the room and flew down the stairs. The living-room was a mess. Dante and Inuyasha stood on opposite sides glaring at each other.

"Dante? What the hell are you doing here?"

He ignored.

"Why is there a naked buy in the house?" He asked.

"He's not naked. He's wearing boxers."

"Wait till mom and dad hear about this. You're going to be grounded till you get married."

"They're not going to hear anything about it."

"Oh! Yes, they will. I'll tell them you brought a guy to the house while they were away."

"You won't tell them anything."

"And why not?"

"If you do, you better have a good explanation as to why you kept porn magazines behind your book case."

"You're bluffing."

"No I'm not. If you keep my secret I'll keep yours."

He snorted.

"Fine."

She made her to Inuyasha who was still standing there and looking as confused as ever.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah."

"What are you doing down here. I thought you'd be sleeping."

"I was looking for my clothes."

"They were wet so I put them in the dryer."

He nodded.

"Why don't you take a shower? I'll get them for you and make you some breakfast."

"Alright."

He returned to her room.

"You still haven't told me why you're here. Are you supposed to be on the other side of the city?"

"Mom and dad wanted me to check up on you."

"Figures they wouldn't trust me."

"They do trust you but not for long if you keep bringing boys to the house when they're not here."

"Inuyasha's my friend. I found it last night in the park. He was freezing cold. I had to bring home. I didn't want him to get sick."

"Alright. Just make sure he's gone before our parents get back."

"I know."

"Well gotta go. See you later, sis."

"See ya."

Her brother left. Alex went to the laundry room and retrieved Inuyasha's clothes and brought them to her room. After that she went downstairs to put some order in the living-room. She put the stuff where they belonged and cleaned the floor a bit. She could always vacuum later.

As promised, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Inuyasha. The only problem, there was nothing to make breakfast with. She forgot that she was supposed to pick the groceries today. Normally her mother does the shopping but since she's not here, she left it for Alex to do.

"Guess we're going out for breakfast." She said.

She ran upstairs. She didn't water running so she assumed that Inuyasha was done with his shower.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you done?" She asked.

He opened the door for her. He was dressed in his clothes.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah."

"What were you doing in that park anyway?"

"It's a long story. I'll tell you over breakfast."

"Oh! Speaking breakfast, I don't have any food in the house. Do you mind if we go out to eat?"

"Nope."

"Great. Let me shower and changed."

"I'll wait downstairs."

He left the room but turned to her when he reached the door.

"Is your brother still downstairs?"

She laughed.

"No. he already left."

"Okay."

He left and she made a beeline for the bathroom.

Kagome woke to the sound of phone ringing. She ignored it hoping it would go away. It did but only for a few minutes. She was almost back asleep when Sesshoumaru shook her.

"Go 'way." She mumbled.

"Your mom is on the phone." He said.

She pushed the cover off her and sat up. She took the phone from him and brought to her ear.

"Hi, mom."

"Hey, hon. Sorry to wake you up but I needed to ask something."

"About what?"

"Do you know what happen last night?"

"What happen?"

"Kikyou came home last night, crying. She looked as if she's been hit. Do you know if she had a fight with Inuyasha?"

"I doubt it. Kikyou said she wasn't feeling too well so Inuyasha was with me, Sess, Sango and Miroku. And besides, Inuyasha would never hit Kikyou."

"I know. I just wish I knew what's going on."

"Mom, you said that Kikyou came home crying, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Do you know where she went last night?"

"She said she was going out with Inuyasha."

"But she told Inuyasha she was sick and she couldn't hang with us last night."

"Really."

"Yeah!"

Her mother sighed.

"I think I need to talk with Kikyou. In the meantime what don't you find Inuyasha and see if he knows anything."

"Alright."

She hung up and then dropped the phone next to her. She was tempted to go back to bed but she needed to see Inuyasha. She sincerely didn't think Inuyasha had anything to do with what happened to Kikyou but she wouldn't be sure until she spoke with him.

She got the bed and paused to admire the site in front of her. Sesshoumaru was still in the room but was currently doing his push-ups. She had never really seen her boyfriend worked out before but she knew he does both because it was part of his training as football player and because he looked great. There was absolutely no other way for him to look this way without some serious pain. She sat down next to him. He raised his head and smiled at her.

"What's up? Your mom sounded upset."

"She's worried about Kikyou."

"Why?"

"She came home crying last night and mom said that she looked like she was beaten."

"And she thinks Inuyasha had something to do with it?"

"No. She knew Inuyasha would never do something like that. She just wants to know what's going and so would I."

He stopped and sat by her.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Take a shower, get something to eat and then find Inuyasha."

"I have a better idea."

"What?"

"How about we make love first, shower, get something to eat and then find Inuyasha."

She looked at him incredulously.

"You're going to be the death of me."

"I'll take that as a yes." He said before he pounced on her.
