Walking through the beautiful green forest, InuYasha and the others sat down tiredly. The bright golden sun shinning down at them and the lush grass blanketing them from the rough dirt and rocks. Cold wind flowed forwardly, cooling down their warm bodies. Kagome laid down and pulled her hands under her head and signed. Daisuke followed her pattern and laid next to her. Laying on top of a tree, InuYasha peacefully closed his eyes and listened to the swift movements of the forest. Sango complained about finally getting some rest while Miroku tried to comfort her. Shippo fell fast asleep next to the furry white Kailala , snoring quietly to himself.

Everything seemed so peaceful and quiet to Kagome, she wanted this moment to last a little more.

"Ah. We finally get some rest, even though its early in the morning" She thought to herself as she moved her fingers across the platform, accidentally brushing Daisuke's arm.

He slowly turned to face her, still laying down, and smiled pleasantly. She smiled back noticing the tiny gap between them. Their bodies were nearly touching, but they both felt comfortable.

"Kagome?" Daisuke whispered, practically whispering into her ear, trying to hide the conversation from the half breed InuYasha.

"Yes, Daisuke?" She replied, also trying to hide it from InuYasha.

"Do they think they're whispering. Damn Bastard." InuYasha swore to himself trying to maintain his anger.

"Kagome. I'm sorry if Dark did anything to hurt you, I can tell he did something because InuYasha doesn't seem to like me much."

"Don't mind InuYasha, Daisuke. He has some real low self esteem." Kagome laughed knowing she said it loud enough for Inuyasha's dog ears to catch.

"Keh."

"Oh, I see." Daisuke nodded his head in agreement and looked toward the sky. "Don't you get bored sometimes, Kagome? Without TV, music and computers. Technology I mean?"

Kagome thought of this question deeply for a minute and responded heartily, " I guess not. InuYasha is more entertaining than anything back home anyways. Why? Are you already bored?"

"Nahh. But I've only spent a couple days here, you spend MONTHS here."

"I've gotten used to it." Kagome replied stroking a piece of his ruby hair out of his face.

Blushing, Daisuke said, "I think I've gotten used to it too. I mean thanks to you."

Kagome considered this and smiled, "Thanks!"

Still brushing a piece of his hair, her fingers explored downward toward his face. Gently she stroked his face structure.

"Perfect." She thought as she still touched his smooth skin.

Caught up with the feelings of her fingers on his face he whispered " You are so beautiful, Kagome".

Kagome blushed deeply and whispered "Thank you, Daisuke." Ignoring Inuyasha's dirty look back on the tree.

"OH. Kagome you are lovely." Daisuke thought. "I wonder why InuYasha is so protective of you, unless…"

Finally deciding to ask, he hid his face. " Are you and InuYasha…, you know. Dating?"

Kagome flinched and without thinking twice she responded with a simple swift of her head.

"Who InuYasha? Daisuke are you serious?"

"Yeah. It seems maybe InuYasha has an affection for you."

InuYasha overheard this and instead of interrupting, his curious side waited for her answer.

Kagome gloomy responded, "No. InuYasha is in love with another priestess named Kikyou. He meet her years before and even though she's dead now, I don't think he'll move on."

"Is that really what she thinks? That I still love Kikyou? God, Kagome you are so stupid."

Daisuke, feeling her loneliness moved closer to her and held on to her. When, Kagome felt his arms around her, she realized how safe she felt with Daisuke. He raised her head to his and cupped it. His gentle fingers moved her hair out of her face entirely as he slowly brushed her lushes lips with his, that lead to a slow romantic kiss.

As InuYasha watched this, knots grew in his stomach. He had never felt this way, not even the time he walked in with Dark and Kagome. Maybe it was because he knew this time, it meant something.

"BASTARD! Get Away From Kagome!" InuYasha yelled not being able to control this feeling.

" I WAS ONLY KISSING HER!" Daisuke angrily yelled back, not at all afraid.

"InuYasha let me go!" Kagome yelped slapping his tight hands away from her wrists.

" I don't care what you were doing! Don't kiss Kagome ever!"

"She is not yours InuYasha! She isn't your property!"

"Damn it all! She isn't yours either!"

" Well , I'll have you know that I like Kagome as more than property!" Daisuke said pushing InuYasha away to reach Kagome.

"Daisuke?" Quickly stopping what she was doing, she alleged.

" Daisuke, I…"

This silenced InuYasha not waiting for her to finish, he glared at Kagome and became unsatisfied when he saw she was as delighted at Daisuke's confession.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered gently. I cant have her say anything more. What if she admits her feelings for him? His heart pounded in his chest. What the hell can I do to stop her?

Before she finished her sentence InuYasha pushed Daisuke down and put Kagome over his shoulders and ran away with her.

As they raced across the earth Kagome was silent. Her russet eyes had no expression as she stared at the floor, as the earth passed by quickly under Inuyasha's bare feet.

In the setting, cobalt birds flew across the crimson and ginger sky. A near river, glistened like a glass portrait while rainbow fish swam with their lives ahead of them. Cold white mountains covered in dark clouds, gave InuYasha the feeling it was going to rain soon.

InuYasha glanced back at Kagome, annoyed by her silence. He noticed her normally cheerful shinny auburn eyes to be a dull chocolate. Her face was pallid as usual and her smooth skin was covered by barely any clothing at all. "It's going to rain soon, and she'll freeze to death." InuYasha quietly thought to himself. " But Daisuke is right about one thing Kagome is beautiful."
