I disclaim.

-------meh.

Inuyasha sat in the low branch of a tree. Kagome alseep in his arms. He had covered her with his haori so she wouldnt get to cold. She couldnt move much because of the wounds and had soon fallen into a very light sleep. It had taken quiet a bit of skill for Inuyasha to get himself into the tree without disturbing Kagome, but after a time, he had found a comfortable spot within the safety of the leaves.

Inuyasha stroked Kagome's dark hair with one hand, holding her with the other. He smiled. She was so... perfect. Inuyasha's thoughts went to his past. He remembered the days he had spent with Kikyo. She was always so cold. She was beautiful on the outside, but she herself was never very appealing. She had helped people, but never out of the kindness of her heart, but because she was a priestess. She hadnt been trusting either, or even welcoming. She just approved in a way. But Kagome, she was always kind, she was warm, and sweet, and beautiful inside and out! Everything about her he loved. But did he LOVE her? He didnt know. He didnt really know anymore. He had thought he loved Kikyo 50 years ago, and now it was VERY obvious that he hadnt actually loved her at all. So now, he didnt know. All he knew is he felt completely different around Kagome then around anyone else. And that as long as she was around, he was at ease.

Kagome mumbled quietly in her sleep. Inuyasha lowered his head to listen, "No...Dont....Its not....Stop...Fine....Fine! Eat the last slice of pepperoni!"

"AHH!!!" Inuyasha nearly well out of the tree as his sensitive ears were yelled into.

Kagome jumped awake. Before grabbing side and laying back on Inuyasha's lap. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome, a pained expression on his face.

Kagome noticed the look, "Whats wrong?"

"Your gonna need to wait a second.... I cant hear at the moment." Inuyasha gave a joking smile.

"What?"

"Your sleep talk."

"Ummmm.... O...k?"

"You were whispering something. I lean down to hear you and... BAM! You scream RIGHT into my ear... And now all I hear are whistles and the remaints of your scream."

Kagome's widened, she ACTUALLY screamed about pizza in Inuyasha's ear. That was NOT something cute! But what could she say? She was starving and what food is better than pizza? "Oh! I'm so sorry Inuyasha!!"

"Its fine. Its fine." He smiled at her, she smiled back gratefully, " I'll just go deaf in one ear because your the most glutinous girl on the planet." Kagome bonked Inuyasha's head with her good arm, "Stupid jerk." She mutter with a smile. They both smiled when Kagome rubbed her arms together.

"Are you cold?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome shook her head, "I'm fi-" Kagome sneezed. Inuyasha shook his head and carefully slid out of the tree, landing skillifully on his feet.

"Kagome, I'm going to put you down now. Ready?" Kagome nodded, "Ok, and..." Inuyasha swiftly, but gently sat Kagome down. She let out a small yelp but seemed rather comfortable, "You good?" Kagome nodded, "Let me get some fire wood. Until then, use this." Inuyasha took of his inner haori and draped it over shoulders.

Kagome gingerly touched the white cloth on her shoulder. But when she glanced back up at Inuyasha, she found herself staring. He was so handsome. Inuyasha's muscled upper body was tanned to absoulute perfection. He was strong and it showed, but he wasnt to muscled at the same time. And not a single scar touched his smooth skin. But the only thing Kagome didnt find perfect was the black hair the hung messily around his shoulders. She didnt hate his black hair, it was beautiful, just not as perfect as it was meant to be. His silver mane was perfect, it had always contrasted so well with his naturally tanned skin. The black just look to normal, even if it was long. Inuyasha was meant to glow with an exotic light, and the black hair and dark eyes just did have the shine.

"Umm...Kagome?"

Kagome snapped back to reality. How long had she been staring? "Oh sorry! I was just thinking about something and I spaced off!"

Inuyasha picked up pieces of burnable wood that was nearby, "What were you thinking about?"

Kagome rushed for an answer, "That light from earlier, was that me?"

Inuyasha shrugged, "Probably, everyone knows you have really strong spiritual powers. There really isnt any other explaination."

"Your right."

"Naturally."

"Arrogant."

"Thank you."

Kagome giggled lightly, she was starting to think she had just gotten a terrible bruise on her adomen instead of a broken rib or two. She watched Inuyasha kick away the clutter of fallen leaves from a spot just in front of her. He placed the fire wood in the cleared out spot and started arranging it the right way. Kagome looked around for her backpack so she could grab her lighter before remembering she didnt have it around. But it didnt matter anymore because before he knew it Inuyasha had grabbed to stones and with two swift smacks sparks flew and the begginings of a fire began to crackle.

Inuyasha sat beside Kagome, removing the white kimono and shrugging it over his shoulders, "Better?"

Kagome smiled gazing at the fire, "Great!"

For a time, both just stared at the fire. The night was nearly halfway through. Kagome yawned softly before dropping her head back to stare at the star filled sky. 'She's so gorgeous. Like an angel.' Inuyasha thought. Kagome yawned again and Inuyasha body moved upon its own will. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her against him.

Kagome sat shocked for a few moments before smiling and getting comfortable. She yawned again and laid down in Inuyasha's lap. They didnt talk. They just sat comfortably for a time. Every once and awhile one would chance of peek at the other. Each one was lit by the dancing fire. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha above her. He was looking of into the distance, his hair shine, the orange tinge of the fire light turned his silver/white hair into an indescribly goregeous color. It was still its own naturally color, yet was like the fire itself. The golden eyes that stared out in though intensified by the light as well. Kagome's calm face adopted a smile as she turned back to the fire, curling up a little more.

-------------Sango and Miroku.

"Where are the kids?" Sango asked Miroku.

Miroku looked around, "They gotta be nearby my dearest."

"Dont call me that and I dont want them to get hurt, lets find them."

"Whatever you say my love." Miroku smiled.

"Dont call me that either and lets go." Miroku stood up and the two began looking around for the 3 children.

-------------The Twins.

"Arashi....Why did we separate from Shippo-chan?" Koori asked as she walked timidly behind her brother, who seem unfazed by the dark ominisity of the forest.

"So we could cover more ground. We wanna find Inu-chan and Kagome-chan."

"Then....Why didnt we split up too?"

"Its because I gotta preetect you and your kinda a chicken. I wouldnt want you to be scared." Arashi smiled.

"I am not a chicken!! But thank you for preetecting me!!" Koori smiled and jumped onto Arashi in a super hug, knocking him over.

"Hey get offa me!!!" Koori laughed as Arashi tried to get himself free. Then they both heard a crack of a fire, or at least fire wood breaking or falling. Both their heads turned in the direction similtaniously. The both stood and began walking toward the source of the sound. Arashi in front of Koori.

Soon they came upon a fire and a couple cuddling with their backs to them. Immediatly the recognized the two as Inuyasha and Kagome. They then turned to eachother and stared silently for a few moments as if speaking telepathicly. Then the both crept up silently on the two. They leaned down on either side of Inuyasha. Then, they, very louding sang, "Ewww!!!"

--------------XD!
