It had been days since Inuyasha's last encounter with Shesshomaru and he was beginning to doubt his emotions from that night. Maybe it was just a nightmare, a trick of his mind, a trick played by Naraku. Besides he had other problems to focus on other than his older brother and past events. Trying to locate all the jewel shards before Naroku was hard enough and dealing with Kikyo was enough of a burden. "Inuyasha! You're brooding!" It was the only other voice that could shock him to reality, Kagome and she wasn't happy. "You've been brooding since we left the lake five days ago, what's going through that thick skull?" Think quick, Inuyasha, if I answer this wrong she'll go back to her world and leave me again. What to say, what to say? " I'm not brooding! I was..." Inuyasha was at a loss of words, he didn't want to tell her the truth that he was contemplating romance but brooding was childish and he was no child. "You were brooding! Now tell me what got under your skin?" Kagome probed. There she goes with that look, it's like a raging fire but her face maintained a gentleness that would destroy defenses and leave you spilling your deepest secrets. It won't work with me! "I'm not brooding! I was contemplating our strategy for finding the jewel shards." The bike jerked forward throwing Inuyasha and Kagome onto dirt road. Being half demon, Inuyasha was able to react quicker grabbing Kagome and falling into the rice field. He must have hit his head because the sun seems brighter than usual. Kagome was sitting on his chest and she was stunning! The sun glistened off her black hair like the night sky and her skin shined like a sun kissed beach. He knew this wasn't the time nor place but the way they looked at each other. He shoved her to the ground and she pleaded to be gentle. She slowly removed his clothes while caressing his skin, she followed the muscles with her fingers till they fell at his groin. He gently removed her undergarments, and he hestatated. "It's okay, I'm ready." Kagome whispered "We both have want this, please." How do you explain to someone that you don't know who you love? How do you tell someone that that you think you love another? These thoughts rushed through Inuyasha's mind as he loved Kagome. Kagome knew something was holding him back something, no someone was on his mind. Tears started to run down her face as she relized that he was still unsure of his feelings towards her, Inuyasha noticed and stopped. "What's wrong? I thought you wanted this? Why are you crying?" "It's nothing, really." She said weakly, "I'm just glad it's finally happening." He pulled her up to him and continued. She gasped and Inuyasha stopped, "What is it?" She quickly pulled away from him and point at Miroku as he was standing dumbfounded above the rice fields.
Both dressed quickly while Miroku laughed till he was gasping for air. Santo hearing Miroku gasping came running up but only saw Inuyasha and Kagome wetland covered in mud from falling into the rice field. Inuyasha jumped up on the hill and hit Miroku in the head and whisper "If you say anything about what you just saw, I'll gut you myself, understood?" Miroku gulped and nodded quickly and for the first time he had no smart comment to make.
Kagome desperately not wanting to linger on the matter decided to try to get her bike back on the road. Sango came down to help her and with her help they managed it get it. Being wet with no change of clothes, Kagome decided it was best to make camp and hope Miroku kept silent about what he saw.
