Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha…… runs away in tears

Chapter 8: Season of Love? Or Not?

With Kikyou and InuYasha

"InuYasha!" Kikyou yelled as she threw herself into InuYasha's arms. "You came to me! Oh Inu! I love you! Don't go back to my stupid reincarnation! She's just a pathetic copy of me! Stay with me!"

InuYasha looked at Kikyou and laughed. He had no idea that she was planning to kill him.

"Kikyou, Kikyou, Kikyou….." he sighed. "I know what I'm going to get Kagome for her birthday."

Kikyou eyed him suspiciously. "What does that have to do with me?" she asked swiftly.

InuYasha smiled evilly. "Everything…."

Then, he….

With Kagome

I can't believe he went to her again… she thought bitterly. I honestly thought that he loved me this time… Oh well……… There's nothing I can do to make him change his mind… I guess that all I can do is stick by his side… even though he loves her….

She walked into the forest, away from InuYasha and Kikyou. She continued walking until she came upon a hot spring. It wasn't empty though… It was occupied… with two people… by the names of…

With Sango and Miroku

"Oh, Miroku," Sango sighed as he finished giving her a back massage. "I'm so glad that I agreed to let you do this. It's absolutely wonderful!"

"Yes, indeed it is, Lady Sango," Miroku replied equally lustful. "Did I ever tell you how lovely you look Lady Sango?"

Sango blushed. "Yes, you have Miroku. Um… There's something that I want to tell you…. I think that I –," she was cut off however, by a certain someone's hand in a certain place on her body. Instead of slapping him, however, she leaned over and kissed him. Miroku was shocked by Sango's actions. He had expected her to slap him as she usually did in situations like this. To Miroku's unknowingness, however, Sango was as equally shocked with her actions as he was. They continued to make-out, their hands roaming each other's bodies… and then…

With Kagome

Kagome quickly ran from the hot spring. Sango and Miroku? she thought questioningly. I had no idea!

She arrived at Kaede's hut shortly after and she saw Shippou playing with Kilala. Actually, it looked more like Shippou was flirting with Kilala. And Kilala was flirting back! She was rubbing against Shippou's legs while Shippou rubbed her tail and ears. Then he began kissing Kilala's face and paws. Kagome got out of their too, and went looking for Kaede behind the hut. Kaede was pruning a small garden patch when Kagome arrived.

"Kagome dear!" Kaede said at Kagome's arrival. "How are ye?"

Kagome shook her head. Oh my god…what is up with everyone today? Sango and Miroku, Shippou and Kilala, and for all I know InuYasha and Kikyou… something is definitely up today…

"Fine, Kaede," Kagome said unconvincingly. "I have a small question though… Why is it that everyone seems to be… in love… all of a sudden?"

Kaede laughed a hearty laugh. "Ye mean to say that ye does not know?"

Kagome shook her head sadly. Kaede laughed again.

"Kagome, it is mating season. All humans, demons, monks, and mikos mate with another being this time of season. It is only natural."

Kagome blushed deeply. "Oh…." she looked at the ground. InuYasha is with Kikyou… she sighed. I feel so alone…

Just then there was a sound in the brush… and then…

With InuYasha

InuYasha overheard Kagome and Kaede's discussion. He hid his present for Kagome behind a tree and covered it with his haori. He hoped that Kagome would like his present. He couldn't wait to see how she reacted when she saw it. He walked into the clearing then.

"Hello, Kaede," he began. "How are you?"

Kaede looked at him suspiciously... InuYasha smiled.

"Never mind that. Hey, Kagome? Could you come here for a minute?" he asked over his shoulder as he walked into the woods again.

"Um… Sure…" she said cautiously. She hoped she knew what she was getting herself into.

She slowly followed InuYasha into the woods. He walked over to another small clearing littered with animal fur and moss. Kagome looked at him suspiciously.

"InuYasha…" she said slowly. "What is all this?"

Then he turned to her and brought his lips to hers.

A/N: HAH! Now you don't know what's gonna happen! And you don't know his present for her yet! Lol! um… here's a little question for all of you… should I have a lemon? or not? it's completely up to all of you! And your faithful reviews!

There will be more of the lone potato in the next couple chapters… so…

Lemon?

Or no?

I've never written a lemon before, so I don't know how good it would be… but there's a first for everything…. Well, review!
