Kagome's giggled erupted suddenly before bursting into a glass-shattering laughter at Inuyasha and his ridiculous notion of a joke. Even though she found herself laughing at everything he said like a love struck teen.

With her scrutiny glazed over with happiness as she looked at the slight smirk on Inuyasha's lips, she couldn't help but admit to the fact silently that she liked him and she knew that by all things natural was nothing short of blasphemy.

"I knew you were gonna laugh," He chuckled while he handed her a canned soda before easing down in the pool beside her. "It's like I know you – You remind me of a girl I once met," With a soft peculiar look bestowed upon her, Inuyasha coughed slightly when embarrassment took him over. "It's weird, yet… I don't mind."

Inuyasha couldn't quite put a finger on it, but every time he was around her, he felt like he was in the presence of the girl from the cave. The fact that he kept associating himself with Kagome told him that deep down he wanted to meet that girl once more, to be close to her in any way possible. As he gave Kagome a sideway glance, he could catch little resemblance but not enough to verify that she is the girl from the river.

People and people did look alike after all, and maybe him not ever finding her – which he hoped, if only to guarantee the safety of her life – was a sign from somewhere. It just wasn't meant to be.

"I know exactly what you mean," Her soft whisper made him pause, the tone of her voice sounding very familiar.

"You do not," He breathed, unconsciously drawing closer to her. "Remember I'm the asshole you hate," Flashing a teasing smile, he was surprised that she didn't retort as he noticed her cheeks dusted with the cutest blush he'd ever seen.

Without thinking, Inuyasha swept her into his arms, pressing his lips to hers into a kiss that sent sparks flying about them. He groaned deep in his throat when he heard her moan of approval, followed closely by her arms wounding around his waist, drawing him even closer to her pixie form.

The kiss turned heated within a matter of seconds, and the sound of their labored breathing was proof of their reluctance to even part for a second, too caught up in the exquisite taste and feel of each other.

Kagome didn't know what this feeling deep within her was, didn't understand why her inside was burning up into the pleasurable sensation. All she knew was that she loved it, and she didn't want it to end. Groaning with a deep sense of awakening desire, she ignored the irate Crimson buzzing around in her head.

If she was more aware of her faerie friend, rather than the boy before her, she would have noticed the warning buzzing that was Crim, rather than to view it as her simply being intrusive. If she was more cautious, then she would have realized her hair bleeding a silken white; she would have definitely realized her nails becoming longer and sharper.

And if not for the look of shock over Inuyasha's visage after they broke the kiss, also due to her now silver gaze, then she would have thought everything was in order and well hidden. She would have definitely felt empowered knowing that she had complete control over her fluctuating emotions.

But she did not. Not when it involved a guy like Inuyasha himself.

"It's you," He whispered, his voice filled with wonder and amazement. Raising a hesitant hand to gingerly skim her face, Kagome wasn't blind to the relief in his gaze.

"I…I…"

"I knew I felt something when I first bumped into you," He admitted, a slight smile on his lips. "I wasn't sure but I kept getting this sensation when I was near you." Inuyasha moved closer to her, their bodies completely touching. "I knew it was you."

"Inuyasha…"

Shaking his head to negate her worry he smiled. "I won't hurt you."

"A lie to soothe the kill!"

Looking around, Inuyasha cursed when his father and comrades bombarded their backyard.
