Last Time

"Umm, no. Come on Kagome, you will be my mate and queen," Kouga told her meaningfully.

"No," Kagome almost yelled, he wouldn't let go of her wrists. She closed her eyes and imagining his hands burn from touching her flesh.

"OWWWWWW!" Kouga yelled. He looked at his hand that had turned a very nice shade of red.

Kagome's mouth dropped. How? How on earth did I do that? Weird!

Kouga couldn't take any more pain for the day so he sped off to his herd of wolves. Stupid wench, I'll get her for this!

Once he was gone, Kagome looked at Inuyasha and shrugged and continued to prepare the ramen. She has way more power than I originally thought.

"The food is served," Kagome smiled and passed full bowls around to everyone, including Miroku who was now awake because of an incident with a hand crashing down on his face when he 'accidentally' groped Sango. My friends are one of a kind, Kagome giggled.

Chapter 9

After they ate their ramen, they unrolled their sleeping bags near he fire, the little kitsune already asleep. They spoke for about 20 minutes and then all said good night. Inuyasha resumed his place at the base of the tree, since he couldn't climb up it tonight. He watched Kagome rest, but she kept tossing and turning. She looked so restless. The fire reflecting on her puzzled face was so angelic. She kept muttering to herself, he went closer to better hear her words.

He bent down low over her, his face mere inches away from hers. She smelled freshly washed and of a lavender soap. He inhaled deeply, taking it all in.

"Why?" she muttered in her sleep.

Inuyasha bent a little closer.

Suddenly Kagome's eyes opened and she sat up in a flash and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. Her breath heavy as if she had had a bad dream. Her lower lip quivered as if she were about to cry.

She looked deeply into Inuyasha's brown eyes, searching for something, her arms still around his neck.

"I'm…sorry," she slowly removed her arms from his neck.

He didn't want her to let go, so he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her gently towards his chest.

She couldn't believe this, he was…hugging her. 'What came over him? Why was he acting so strange? He hates me…doesn't he?' she thought.

She looked up into his eyes, questionably. Her breath mixing in with his, eyes getting blurry.

Inuyasha couldn't help himself; he needed to see why her lips looked so damn appealing. If they were really as soft as they appeared. If she tasted as good as she smelled.

He kissed her with lips apart and hands still around her waist, pulling her in closer, to deepen it the extravagant moment.

She moaned, but just a little one before she could catch herself. Inuyasha took that as a sign, he flicked his tongue against her closed lips. She opened immediately but didn't know what to do next. Inuyasha took control. He swept his velvet tongue across hers and withdrew to see what she would do. Her tongue swirled around his in a circle. He had never had a tongue movement like that before, and he liked it! Inuyasha, in a rush of overwhelming feelings, fought with her tongue. It was a battle to see whose tongue could master he other one. Finally they had to part for air. Panting they both looked at each other and blushed. Inuyasha immediately released her and she moved back a couple of inches.

"Sorry!" they said in unison.

They both blushed again and looked away.

Kagome felt a tentative hand on hers. It gave a slight squeeze.

She looked up at Inuyasha and gave a little smile.

She yawned quietly and quickly put her hand to stifle it.

Inuyasha put a hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her down to her sleeping bag. She went without disagreement and closed her eyes. She felt him slide in beside her. Her face heated up instantly.

'What is he doing?' she tensed up and shook gently.

Inuyasha felt the quiver. He put his arms around her waist and clamped them shut at her stomach. Her back was to him. She felt a strange sense of safety. Slowly she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Inuyasha knew the exact moment she was asleep, her body loosened and her breath was even. He fell asleep with the only person in this world that he cared about…his Kagome.

The next morning Kagome woke up to feel strangely alone. The warmth from her back was gone. She sat up quietly and looked around. Shippo and Kilala still asleep. As was Sango and Miroku…but where was Inuyasha?

She went into the forest and heard a little grunt. She ducked behind a tree. Inuyasha was transforming into his half demon self again. She watched intently.

Inuyasha felt eyes on him, but didn't know what direction they were watching at.

Kagome sucked in a breath, Inuyasha had looked right at her, he saw her for sure, but she didn't hear him coming her way. She looked back again and he bent over to pick up some logs to bring for breakfast. He started walking in her direction. She couldn't move or he'd see her. He would be so mad at her for sneaking up on him.

He walked right past her and didn't even seem to notice her.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome said his name in a sharp voice. She at least wanted to be acknowledged for her mischievousness.

He turned around quickly but saw nothing. 'Great it's not enough that Kagome haunts my dreams in the night, but now she's got to haunt me in the day too!' Inuyasha smiled and continued to walk towards the camp.

"Am I invisible?" Kagome asked herself quietly.
