Ch. 7

Inuyasha reached the hut. But he realized that Koga had left. His scent went one way, while Kagome's went another. But her scent wasn't towards the hut, it was to the left.

He followed the path as quickly as his legs would take him. The only thing going through his mind was that Kagome had better be ok.

He reached the edge of the cliff and frantically looked around. He spotted Kagome quickly. He rushed over and made sure she was breathing and ok.

"Kagome…" he whispered softly.

"Inuyasha…" she murmured. She had awoken to see Inuyasha next to her. "Inuyasha…" she mumbled again, and she snuggled into Inuyasha's haroi.

"Ka…Kagome!" but then he realized she was still half asleep. So he found a comfortable position and put his arms around her and the two drifted off into a peaceful slumber.

The next morning, Kagome had awakened to the chirping of the birds in the trees above. She went to get up, but someone had their arms around her. She looked next to her, and to her surprise, Inuyasha was peacefully sleeping beside her. She blushed three shades of red, and tried again to get up, but the hanyou gave a small growl, almost a purr, and his grip tightened. She realized there was no way out, so she once again snuggled into his haroi and drifted off.

"Kagome…Kagome!" the half-demon softly said into the girl's ear.

"Huh?" Kagome's eye fluttered open. She looked around and realized she wasn't on the ground. She was being held bridal style by someone. She turned towards Inuyasha and blushed.

"Hey," he said quietly, while a grin was growing. This made her blush even more. "Come on, we should get back." And with that he pushed off the ground with Kagome in his arms.
