Part 5: Blame the alcohol.

They engaged in conversation, with updates about their lives and their future plans after college. A few drinks after, they were joking about how Miroku and Sango were either marrying or killing each other soon, what with her jealousy and his perverted ways. People started leaving the house a few hours after midnight, but they were too amused with each other to even notice their best friends calling it a night. There were just a couple of friends around when they had started dancing, bodies flush with each other and barely keeping their eyes away. Was it the alcohol making them so bold?

Kagome's eyes went wide with shock when he stole a chaste kiss from her lips, barely containing his desire to taste her further.

- You're gorgeous, y'know that? – heavy lidded eyes stared at her blushed cheeks, a wicked smile appearing on his face, while she just giggled in response.
