____________________________________________________________________________

My mind came into consciousness, and I felt extremely warm. I curled deeper into the warmth, drawing in a deep breath. It smelt good....even familiar. 'that's weird.' I thought I knew I wasn't in my sleeping bag. I placed my hand in front of my face, feeling my surroundings. I froze when I heard a noise. My body stiffening, adrenaline spiked. I tried to force my eyes open, but I was to scared. My only thought was 'Inuyasha, where are you?'

What ever I was laying on moved, adjusting me along with it. My eyes shot open and my voice catching in my throat. I was silently screaming in my head, until I looked up. I saw Inuyasha's face, staring at me, covered in confusion.

"You okay, Kagome?" he was worried.

A small giggle escaped my lips. "Yeah.." I smiled up and him.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"I thought I was in danger, and had been kidnaped or something."

His eyes widened slightly at my explanation. "Why did you think that?"

" I don't remember when or where I fell asleep."

"Oh," his face fell in disappointment. "So...?"

"No, I remember that, I just don't remember falling asleep is all."

"Oh." he said again, pulling me closer to his chest. I could feel his lips press into my hair, sending a chill up my spine. I don't think I will ever get used to his touches. As if reading my mind, he reached for my face and drew me in for a kiss. My eyes widened in alarm at first but then slowly closed. In wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him deeper into the kiss. 'I don't know if I'll ever get used to him treating me like this. It's so nice.' I sighed breaking the kiss. My lips yearned to touch his again. I pulled my arms from around his neck, stopping halfway. The sleeves of Inuyasha's red kimono slid down my arm. It caught me by surprise. I lifted both arms above my head, letting the sleeves fall all the way back.

"Uh....Kagome...." I looked to Inuyasha, to see his face turned and covered in a blush. I stared at him, confused by his actions and words. ".....look down." his voice was quiet.

My eyes fell from his face to my body. When I lifted up my arms, the red kimono had come undone. Still naked from the previous night, and only wrapped in his shirt, I was now, basically, naked again.

My cheeks burned. After the shock passed, panic set in. I quickly wrapped my arms around my chest, covering my body. I looked down at my thighs, embarrassed. Inuyasha laughed at the weird expression that must have been on my face, making his head tilt back slightly. I looked up and glared at him as best I could. He laughed again.

"It's not funny." I grumbled, my cheeks growing darker. He ignored my suddenly off mood and hugged me close again. Almost instantly my mood vanished and I couldn't thing of anything but him. "Inuyasha," I mumbled not moving. "Where are my clothes at?"

He pulled them from behind his back. "Right here, why?"

"Just wondering. I was thinking about going to the river and taking a bath." I said as he handed my all my things. "Actually that's what I'm going to do. Could you help me down."

He wrapped his arms tighter around my waist and jumped down from the tree that had been our bed for the night. After he set me gently on my feet, he jumped back into the tree. "See ya." he said in a disgruntled tone.

Without answering I walked swiftly through the village. I was hurrying because the sun was staring to rise and I didn't want to be caught in Inuyasha's kimono shirt with nothing else on and then have to explain myself. Rushing towards the river, I went to a secluded spot and stripped off the shirt, dropping it at my feet. I knew the water was going to be chilly, so without giving it much thought I jumped in head first. Breaking the surface with a gasp. My teeth were chattering slightly, but I soon enough got used to it. I dunked my head and scrubbed at my hair, dislodging any dirt, leaves, and anything else that might have got stuck in it the night before. After I felt my hair was clean I began to rub the dirt off my arms and legs.

After a while of getting clean and relaxing, I heard something. I quickly wrapped my arms around my torso trying to hide. Sango emerged from the bushes with a smile on her face. I relaxed my pose and smiled back. "You do something to Inuyasha?" she asked.

I froze. 'W-what? Did she find out? How!!! shit!' my mouth was malfunctioning. "I....I uh..nothing..i....he....nothing I did nothing." I fumbled with my words.

"Alright calm down." she giggled. " I was only asking cause he was in a weird mood when I talked to him a few minutes ago."

"Oh....what did you talk about?" I was trying to keep the worried tone out of my voice.

"I just asked where you were, and he told me at the river." she replied while undressing. When she finished she jumped into the water. She came up shivering a little but still had a smile on her face. "Oh, and Kagome?"

"Yeah?" I was feeling a lot better now that I knew she didn't know what happened.

"Where were you last night, and why so you have Inuyasha's shirt?" my mouth dropped in shock.

My words felt like lead in my throat. "My...I was...it......um..." I felt like I was choking. "He was.....well...." nothing was making since, my mind was a jumbled mess. My body shuddered at the memories. I subconsciously sighed. Happy only for a brief moment before being rudely jerked back to reality and the situation at hand.

"What?" Sango's face held a look of utter befuddlement.

"Uh...nothing." I said looking away.

"You can't tell me it was nothing, your face is as red as a strawberry, and you never sound like that. What happened?" her confusion turned into mild curiosity and she smirked at me.

"We......uh..."'how am I supposed to tell her that I did it with him?' my mind fogged up leaving me with an obvious-as-to-what-happened blank stare on my face.

"what?" she cried. "Are you serious?" her face lit up.

"Am I serious about what?" I was still lost in thought on how to tell her.

"You and....him.....well you know!!" I sighed in relief that I wouldn't have to put it into words.

"Y-yeah...." I said looking down again as a new flushed again.

"Oh Kagome!" she hugged me tight, but then quickly pulled away holding my shoulders and staring at me sternly. "He didn't hurt you did he?!" she had a sharp ping to her voice.

"N-no! Sango can we please talk about something else?" my face felt like it was going to catch on fire.

"Sure.....I still can't believe it though." she started again.

"Sango!"

"Oops sorry. I'll talk to you about it once you've had time to let it sink in. But we should probably be heading back to the village now. They are probably getting worried. Especially Inu-"

"Sango!!!" she only laughed at my outburst. We both rose out of the water, dried off and got dressed.

When we arrived at the village I was still as red as before. We approached Miroku, Shippo, Inuyasha, and Kirara, who were all lost in something till I shouted.

"Sango please!!!" I lightly shoved her, wanting to punch her. All eyes flashed to me in wonder. I looked at them, then away. I was so embarrassed.

She laughed again, still hassling me. "Oh come on Kagome." she said playfully.

"No!" I yelled.

"What are you guys talking about?" Miroku asked.

"Nothing!" I yelled again, stomping off into the hut.

When I entered I immediately heard Miroku ask the same question to Sango. I ground my teeth together 'she better not tell him if she wants to live to see tomorrow.' I thought to myself.

"I was just having a little fun with Kagome is all." was her reply. 'Yeah right' I thought again.
