Kagome felt Goku lean against her. Poor boy, he must be feeling awful about himself. While they were traveling, Hakkai had told her about Goku's troubles and how Sanzo had found him, locked up in a cave.
She looked over and saw how miserable he looked. She gave a soft smile and rubbed his shoulder.
"I's alright Goku, no one is blaming you." She said in a soothing voice.
"I know," Goku said his voice sounding as though he was trying to keep from crying, "but what if I hurt someone? What if I ended up hurting you?" He asked facing her. Kagome smiled, a motherly smile at him and hugged him.
"Goku, when you were in your demon form, I walked over and hugged you. You did nothing, nothing at all to me, and Sanzo was able to get you back to normal."
Goku's eyes widen, "You hugged me, while I was being crazy?" He asked in disbelief. Kagome nodded,
"See, you're not so dangerous." She giggled at him, earning her a smile from him. Goku nodded and leaned against her, she was great to have around.
They watched as everyone went about their business, Miroku and Hakkai talking, Sango entertaining Shippo, Gojyo and Sanzo talking, and Inuyasha sitting angrily in a tree.
Sango walked over to them, "Kagome, Inuyasha said there was a hot spring nearby, want to go?"
Kagome nodded, "Of course, just let me get my things." And got up and went to grab her bathing supplies from her bag.
"Going somewhere beautiful?" Gojyo asked as he noticed the two girls grab there things.
"Sango and I are going to the hot spring nearby to bathe." She answered as they headed toward the direction of the spring.
"Hot spring? Sounds nice, mind if we come along?" he asked giving them a sexy smile.
"No!" Both girls and Inuyasha shouted. Everyone else stopped and watched.
"I was just joking," He said lighting a cig. They glared at him and left to go bath.
"Hey, after the girls are done, why don't we go and bathe." Hakkai suggested.
"I'm not getting into a spring naked with any of you." Sanzo growled.
"Perhaps in turns, and since we are in a place where demons can jump out and attack you, it be best if we went in two's or three's." Hakkai suggested.
"Yea, Goku and I can go together!' Shippo exclaimed, "He's strong and protect me!"
"Yea! I can protect Shippo any day!" Goku declared.
The adults smiled.
"Well the rest of us can wear those mini towels Kagome, has in her bag and get in." Miroku said, getting murmurs of agreement. They went about and chose who they would go with. The girls came back 20 minutes later.
"I guess we'll go." Hakkai said him and Gojyo leaving. They left and everyone else talked. Another 20 minutes and they were back.
"Our turn!" Goku and Shippo cried running towards the hot spring.
"Should they really be going alone? I mean I know Goku's strong, but still." Kagome said.
"Now, now Kagome, I'm sure there fine." Miroku said calming her down.
The boys arrived later, both joking around. Miroku took his turn, dragging Inuyasha, who desperately needed a bath. They came back 30 minutes later, Inuyasha no longer smelling like a dirty dog.
Sanzo got up, for his turn and left.
He sighed as he sat in the water. It felt nice, and it gave him time to think things over, first thing to come to mind, Kagome. What was she doing to him? He enjoyed her company and the way she was treating Goku, how she always cared about everyone, putting them first before herself. She seemed like the type of person who could change anyone if she tried.
He looked down in the water and saw his reflection. His droopy purple eyes staring back at him, his golden hair, and slim but muscular chest. What about him, beside his looks, did she find appealing?
He sighed once more and continued to wash himself. He saw that everyone had left a shampoo behind for the other's to use. He picked it up and smelled it, it smelled of apples. Well better than smelling something fruity or girly, like peach or cherry blossom.
He rinsed off, getting all the suds out and dried off, putting on his under clothes then his robes and sutra. He made his way back to the camp and saw that some of them had fallen asleep.
Sango was sleeping next to Miroku, Shippo and Goku were cuddle up with a transformed Kirara and Gojyo and Hakkai were in the borrowed sleeping bags.
"Sanzo?"
He turned to see Kagome looking at him worriedly.
"Hm?"
"Are you ok?" She asked taking a step closer towards him.
"I'm fine."
"Do you want to go for a walk?" She suggested giving him a small smile. He gave a small smile and both proceeded to walk into the darkness. Inuyasha glared at his back as they disappeared, no way was he gonna let that guy be alone with his Kagome!
*With Sanzo and Kagome*
They were walking in silence, it was a comfortable silence. Kagome smiled, it felt nice to be alone with Sanzo. He didn't notice, but he had grabbed Kagome hand, she blushed.
He noticed and inwardly smiled. Such an innocent soul, yet she knew how to fight and seen bloodshed.
They walked into a clearing and from there they could see the moon.
"It's so beautiful tonight." Kagome awed. Sanzo nodded and looked at her.
"I see something even more beautiful." He said, feeling his face grow hot, he wasn't use to this feeling let alone flirting. She gave a smile, with a cute rosy blush.
She hugged him, him not responding at first but circled his arms around her returning the gesture. He sighed a at peace sigh, as though all their worries were gone at that moment. He pulled her closer to him and murmured into her.
"Kagome?" He murmured, looking down at her.
"Yes?" she said looking up at him, her eyes drawn to his. He leaned in closer to her, Kagome following, blushing like the school girl she was. They stopped only a breath away, she smiled, he was tough, but when it came to things like this, he was shy.
Surprisingly it was she, who filled the gap between them, circling her arms around his head.
Both not noticing the red eyes glaring at them,
