I hope that you will like the second chapter. It will be a bit longer than the first.

Ch.2 Awake

Kagoma's head:

"You did well for you first time."

"But I'm so tired. And did you see Inuyasha's face. He looked so stunned…and scared." Kagoma felt so sad. Inuyasha never looked at her that way. Come to think of it, she never saw that look on his face at all.

"Do not worry yourself about Inuyasha. He was just surprised at how much power you were showing. He was also scared for you. He thought that you might hurt yourself."

"How do you know? He could just be repulsed by me or worse, fear me. He may never open up to me again." Kagoma was getting all worked up and about to cry when the voice interrupted her.

"Now Kagoma, do you really believe that of Inuyasha?" Kagoma slowly nodded her head. She was very doubtful that her would accept her with her new powers. "Kagoma, deep down you know that Inuyasha would never act that way. I know, I know 'How can you be so sure?' I am able so sure because I am a power like no other. I can look into people's hearts and minds and know what they are feeling and thinking. Once you master the first level of the power, then you will start to feel people's emotions and eventually their minds."

"How will I learn how to control the first level of you? I mean, I passed out the first time I used you and I even know that it was barely a fraction of the power. And I thought that you were the power. You always talk like what's happening to me isn't you."

"First my child, you will meditate to get yourself under control. You fainted because it was the first time you used me. Practice and you will soon have the first level completed. Secondly, I am only a part of your power, the guiding part."

"The guiding part. What is that suppose to mean." Kagoma was getting a little testy in the way the mysterious voice answered her questions.

"All will be revealed to you in due time. But I believe that it is time for you to wake up. You have been sleeping for an hour now and a certain hanyou is very worried about your well being. He's about to go crazy if you don't wake up before sundown."

With that, Kagoma was tossed out of her deep slumber. She could fell herself come back to herself and to the real world. Kagome awoke in Keada's hut with Inuyasha's golden eyes greeting her. "Inuyasha, could you not hover above me. You're making me nervous." Kagoma started sitting up and Inuyasha quickly moved.

"Feh. I have the reason to be worried wench. You turned all pale and fainted. Be lucky that I was able to catch you." Inuyasha finished with a smug voice and his noise in the air proudly. He had his eyes closed expecting a thank you or something. What he got was something completely different.

"I wouldn't of been in that sort of situation if you tailed me like you usually do. I could of gotten killed. I know that I should of brought my arrows, but I thought that you would be in the area to protect me." Kagoma was breathless know since she yelled at Inuyasha in one breath. When Kagoma looked at Inuyasha again, she nearly gasped. Inuyasha looked so hurt. 'O no. I really must of hurt his feelings.' "Inuyasha, I am so sorry. I was just a little angry and confused. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Will you forgive me?" Kagoma was hopping that he would just brush it off and say whatever, even though she knew that might not happen.

"No, your right. I should have been following you like I always do. And because of it I almost got you killed." Inuyasha was about to leave when he heard Kagoma try to get up but fall back down with a 'thump'. Inuyasha immediately turned back around and saw a sight that almost broke his heart. Kagoma was barely able to hold herself in a sitting position. She had one arm supporting her while the other one was holding her stomach. "Kagoma! Are you all right?" He said it so tenderly. He was by her side before Kagoma even knew it.

Inuyasha's POV:

She looks so helpless in week. This is not the Kagoma I know and love. Damn! I smell salt water. She's crying, but why. I hate it when she cries, even though I usually cause the tears.

End of POV

" Kagoma, why are you crying? Are you ok?" Inuyasha was getting very worried about Kagoma. He didn't like her like this. He liked it when she was smiling, laughing, even yelling at him. Anything would be better than this. Even a string a 'sit' commands from Kagoma.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha. Please don't feel that you don't protect me because you do. I'm crying because I hurt you. Please, pleeaaase, don't feel bad because of me." Inuyasha was stunned. He didn't know what to do or to say. All he could do was to rub her back and tell her that it will all be ok. Kagoma's sobs soon died down enough for her to look up at Inuyasha. "I'm sorry."

"You already said that wench." Inuyasha didn't say it in his usually harsh tone, he said it softly with emotions Kagoma could pinpoint. Inuyasha was looking down at Kagoma. He took one of his clawed hands and brushed the tears away from her face ever so gently. "Are you done crying now?" Kagoma couldn't speak so she nodded her head. "Good. I hate it when you cry." Kagoma just smiled at him. This was the Inuyasha she knew. The one that was smirking at her and helping her even though she didn't know why. Inuyasha still had his hand on her cheek. He was at first gazing at her chocolate, brown eyes that he so easily got lost in without even knowing it. When he did break the gaze, her lips caught his attention. They were slightly parted and looked perfect for kissing.

Inuyasha's POV:

Kagoma looks so right in my arms like this. Those eyes of hers are driving me crazy. If I don't look away from her eyes now, I might do something that I might regret and push Kagoma away from me. it's not like she could ever go for a half-bread like me. I finally able to look away from her eyes, but her lips look so good. One little kiss wouldn't hurt. The worst she will do is 'sit' me when I'm a good distanced away from her.

End POV

Inuyasha couldn't help himself. He lowered his face to Kagoma's. He heard Kagoma take a deep breath, but he continued on anyways until his lips softly touched hers. 'Her lips taste so good. I never thought that they could feel so heavenly.' Inuyasha licked Kagoma's mouth for entrance, which she gladly gave.

Kagoma's Pov:

I can't believe that Inuyasha is doing this. It feels so good and he is so gentle. Did I just hear him growl. I am in sooooooo glad that this is happening. He might defiantly think of me as more than a friend the way he's kissing me.

End POV

Inuyasha and Kagoma were so into each other that they didn't know that Songo, Miroku, Shippo, and Keade had walked into the hut. They were all stunned to find Kagoma and Inuyasha in a very deep kiss. Keada was the first one to snap out of and clear her throat. Inuyasha immediately pulled away and started to growl until he saw who it was. He had a very deep blush on his face. Kagoma had put her face into Inuyasha's shirt to hide her blushed face.

"Kagoma, I see ye are filling better." Keade said with a smirk on her face.

" Especially in Inuyasha's care." Miroku said with a pervert smile. Songo hit Miroku over the head with her fist. Inuyasha was grateful since Kagoma was still holding on to him with her face buried in his shirt.

"Will you leave those two alone Miroku before I really hurt you." Even though Songo had a deadly tone to her voice, her eyes gave it away that she was happy for the two. Songo knew that Inuyasha and Kagoma liked each other. It was only a matter of time before they ended up in a position like this. Kagoma, by this time, had composed herself enough to remove herself from Inuyasha's shirt and look at her friends in the face without totally blushing.

"Kagoma child, we were wondering if we could get your side of the story about what happened to you in the field. Inuyasha brought you back when you fainted. He only told us what he observed." Keade was able to say that with a straight face and Kagoma was grateful for that.

"Sure Keade, but I think you all should sit down before I Start explaining what happened to me out there."
