A/N: Hey readers! I loved the reviews you sent me. Thanks sooo much. And in the last chapter I asked you to tell me how you think Toshiro should tell Kagome how he feels. Ok well I got a ton of ideas and well at first I choose one but more kept coming so I kind of mixed them all together. I hope you like it. And sorry for not updating in awhile. High school, writers block, and more have gotten in the way. That plus I'm lazy.

Anyway, on with the story!

"I can't believe that poor, innocent boy is a orphan," Kagome sighed after putting Shippo back to sleep.

"Me neither. But if they were murdered than it explains why he's alive," Toshiro told her.

"What do you mean?"

"Fox demons are very protective of their young. They probably fought to keep him safe and are still fighting now. They always watch over their kids even in the afterlife," he explained.

"Well that's a good thing. Who knows what would have happened if they didn't," Kagome didn't want to think about it. She couldn't. Her mind was still on what Toshiro almost said before Shippo came in. 'Will he still say it?'

She looked up at Toshiro, he was staring at her.

"What," she smiled, hoping he's going to say it.

He opened his mouth but shut it. "I'm going to bed. You coming," he asked standing up.

"No, I'll watch some tv," she said disappointed.

"Alright. Good night," he said walking down the hall.

"Night," was all she said. She laid back on the couch and turned on the tv.

'Why the hell won't he say it? He almost did and I swear he almost did again! Why? Why won't he,' she thought ignoring the movie playing on the tv screen.

______________________________________________________________

'Damn, why won't I say it? I was this close, this close! Then Shippo had to pop up! I almost had the courage again but I chickened out. Stupid, stupid, stupid! I can tell she is upset about it. What the hell is wrong with me? I have the perfect girl, I love her, yet I won't tell her! Damn,' he thought pacing around the room.

Finally he just laid down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Kagome woke up to the smell of breakfast.

She got off the couch and walked into the kitchen seeing Toshiro scrambling eggs. He looked behind him to see her getting a cup of coffee.

"Good morning," she said happily. Her mind kept going back to last night but she wouldn't let it upset her.

"Morning," he smiled. "Hungry?"

"Yeah," she noticed all the eggs, bacon, and toast.

"Hey, why don't you go wake up Shippo, why I finish up in here," he suggested.

"Sure," she said setting down her cup and walked down the hall. She walked into her room to see Shippo sleeping peacefully. She crept up to the bed and looked down at his innocent face.

"Shippo. Wake up, time for breakfast," she whispered in his ear, shaking his shoulder.

He looked up at her with tired eyes.

"Mmm," was all he said.

Kagome laughed and picked him up. Soon they were back in the kitchen. Shippo was more or less awake.

They all sat down and started eating. Kagome asked Shippo what he wanted to do today. Sleep was the only answer he gave. Kagome and Toshiro were cleaning the dishes when someone knocked on the door.

"Coming," Kagome yelled. She wiped the soap off her hands and ran to the door. She opened it to see a very happy Mo-Mo standing there.

"Hey Mo-Mo. What's up," she asked.

"Tomorrow is what's up! I'm having a Valentines Day party and you and Toshiro are invited," she practically yelled holding out an envelope.

"Really, thanks," Kagome said taking the envelope. She opened it to see a piece of paper with hearts all around it. It also had Mo-Mo's address and number.

"No problem. I always invite Toshiro and now this year he'll have a date," Mo-Mo giggled.

"Yes ha ha," Toshiro said walking up behind Kagome. "Well at least this year there won't be any blind dates," he said looking at the invitation.

"Oh course not. I already told them you were taken," Mo-Mo told him.

Kagome laughed while Toshiro shook his head at his crazy friend.

"What, I already told you I'm just trying to help," she said defensively, crossing her arms.

"Sure let's call it 'help'," he joked.

"Meanie," she mumbled.

"Alright you two. Thanks again for the invitation Mo-Mo," Kagome laughed.

"Your welcome, bye guys," Mo-Mo said waving to them before running down the hall.

Kagome closed the door and looked at Toshiro who was mumbling something under his breath. She giggled at the sight of him. He looked at her with a 'what's-so-funny' look. She shook her head and kissed him on the cheek. She turned to go into the living room when he pulled her back. She looked at him. He crashed his lips on hers, pushing his tongue in. Kagome moaned and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her hands massaged his scalp. Soon she pressed her tongue against his. He pulled his back and let her explore his mouth. She ran her tongue over his teeth, inside his cheeks, everywhere. A moan escaped his mouth. Soon they pulled away for air.

Kagome smiled up at him, and he returned it.

He opened his mouth and started to say I love you but the phone chose that moment to go off.

Frustration clearly written on his face. He walked over to it and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hi, can I talk to Kagome?"

"Uh sure. Who is this?"

"Miroku."

"Alright hold on," Toshiro handed Kagome the phone. "It's Miroku."

"Hey Miroku. You have perfect timing you know," she said, sarcasm dripping off every word.

"Uh, sorry. Sango told me what happen, you know. What she saw so I guess I

interrupted one of those moments," he laughed.

"No, not one of those moments. What do you want anyways?"

"Oh, well I just wanted to talk to you see what's going on?"

"You were bored," Kagome stated more than asked.

"Pretty much."

"Here's an idea. Hang out with your girlfriend," Kagome suggested.

"Can't, Mo-Mo called her and well you can pretty much imagine," he sighed.

"Mo-Mo called her so you call me. Nice anyway I got to go," Kagome said ready to hang up.

"Wait!"

"What?"

"I don't know," he laughed.

"Bye," she said hanging up.

"What was that all about," Toshiro asked.

"Miroku was bored cause Sango and Mo-Mo are hanging out," she explained.

"Oh boy. Nothing good will come with those two together," Toshiro laughed.

"True. Hey don't we have a class to teach today," Kagome asked looking at the clock.

"Oh yeah, we better go get ready," Toshiro said walking down to his room.

"Wait, what about Shippo," Kagome called after him.

"I'll take care of it," he yelled back.

"Alright," Kagome muttered walking into her own room. She changed into some shorts and a baggy t-shirt.

"Are you leaving," Shippo asked from the bed.

"For a little while. I'll be back soon though k," she reassured him kissing him on the top of his head.

"K," he smiled.

Kagome finished and walked into the living room seeing Rangiku coming in.

"Hey," she greeted.

"Hi. Toshiro called and asked me to baby-sit. Is it that little kid who snuck in," she asked.

"Yeah, we found out he's an orphan," Kagome told her.

"Oh my god. Poor kid. So anything I need to know," Rangiku wondered.

"Uh no. Just make him a couple of sandwiches, some juice, let him watch tv and that's it," Kagome answered.

"Alright, that should be easy."

"Yeah thanks for watching him," Kagome said.

"No problem. Anything for my captain," she laughed.

"Your what?"

"It was a game we used to play when we were younger," Toshiro answered walking in.

"I was a captain, she was lieutenant, Ichigo was a sub thing, and Rukio was another lieutenant. Oh and Mo-Mo was just a regular soldier."

"That's not what you called us back then," Rangiku teased.

"Hey we all called ourselves that," he defended.

"Called yourself what," Kagome asked.

"Soul-reapers," Rangiku giggled.

"Soul-reapers? Someone has imagination," she commented.

"Yeah well we got to go," He said pulling her towards the door.

"Alright captain. Bye lieutenant," Kagome yelled over her shoulder.

"Bye guys," Rangiku laughed.

"Your crazy," Toshiro said to Kagome.

"I know," she laughed. He laughed right along with her.

"Dang it," Hojo yelled.

"It's alright. You'll get it. Just remember to keep your feet in the same spot just turn them," Kagome explained.

"Alright," he said. Kagome stepped out of the way and watched as he tried again and finally perfected the step.

"See, easy," she smiled.

"Yeah thanks. You're a really good teacher," he commented.

"That's why the hired me," she laughed.

"Hey how's it going over here," Toshiro asked coming up behind them.

"Great, I finally did it," Hojo smiled.

"Good. Work on the next set of steps now," he told him.

"K."

"He isn't to bad," Kagome said watching as he went through the rest of the dance.

"Yeah," Toshiro responded.

They went back to helping the students when Kagome saw someone step into the room.

A women with black hair up in a tight bun and bright red eyes. Kagome got a bad feeling from her but didn't show it. Instead she walked up to her.

"Can I help you," she asked politely.

"I guess. I'm looking for someone," the woman sneered.

"Who is it your looking for," Kagome asked.

"Toshiro. Is he here," she wondered.

"Yes he is. Hold on," Kagome said going to the other side of the room where he was.

"Toshiro, some women is here and she wants you," Kagome told him.

"Who," he asked.

"I don't know, I didn't get a name."

"Alright. Help them while I go see whoever it is," he said walking towards the door.

"Sure," Kagome turned to the teens.

A second later she heard Toshiro shout, "What are you doing here?!"

Everyone turned to see the woman try to cling to Toshiro's arm.

"What do you mean, I came to see you," she laughed grabbing his hand.

"Well you see me, now go," Toshiro practically growled at her.

"What's wrong baby," she asked feigning hurt.

"Your what's wrong Kagura! You made it very clear you never wanted to see me again.

Now leave," he yelled braking free of her grasp.

Kagome walked up to them. "What's going on," she asked.

Kagura made a face at her, "Who's is she?"

"My girlfriend," Toshiro said wrapping a arm around her waist.

"Has your standards dropped that much," Kagura asked studying Kagome.

"Excuse me," Kagome snapped. "Who do you think you are judging me. Now I believe he told you to leave so leave. Your obviously not wanted here."

"Toshiro are you going to let her talk to me like that," Kagura cried.

"Not only am I allowing it, I encourage it," he answered.

Kagura made a screeching sound, turned on her heel and stormed out.

"Bitch," Kagome mumbled under her breath. "Who was she?"

"Uh you remember when I told you there was one girl I dated and she was horrible? Well that's her," he explained.

"God, you dated that," Kagome laughed.

"Surprisingly yes. But never again."

They turned to see the students laughing at what happened while packing there stuff.

"Where are you guys going," Toshiro asked.

"It's time to leave," one answered.

"Oh ok, well bye guys. Practice," Kagome told'em.

"Yes ma'am," they saluted.
