[αυτhοr's ηοτε] alexchic: Thanks :3 I meant to update before but I completely lost some files and my iPod (where I write chapters) has officially become useless unless you want the time and date. And a source of light. So I lost MAJOR data on just about, oh, everything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

"I got one!" She hopped down from the rocks. He stood from his position in the water to watch her as she sprung into the water with excited splashes. "Look!"

In her hand sat a small green frog. It was still for a moment as they looked at it then abruptly took off in a flash. Kagome stared after it with an expression of surprise then turned to chase after it.

"Hey! Come back!"

Inuyasha watched as she struggled to catch the frog again, splashing back and forth in the water. They were both soaking wet by now, taking off their heaviest layers of clothing. Kagome gave up as it disappeared under a log and sighed, putting her hands on her hips with a shake offer head. Inuyasha smiled slightly at his friends' expression of disappointment. He noted a small movement to his left and lightening quick, snatched up another frog. It was a brighter shade of green with big wet eyes.

"Kagome!" He called out to her.

"What?" She turned to him.

"Look!" He held out his closed hands. She eagerly ran to him with a happy smile.

She peered through his slightly open fingers. "You caught one?"

He laughed. "Yep! A really green one."

She closed her hands over his and looked at him with a bright expression. His skin warmed where she touched him, sending small shivers through his hands. Kagome's eyes widened as her hands began to glow and suddenly yanked her hands away with surprise. Inuyasha's gold eyes were practically bulging from...whatever he was feeling; surprise, amazement, shock...even a little fear.

Their hands still tingled from their brief touch. Kagome closed her hands and felt them buzz slightly before fading away. Inuyasha looked at his own hands as the sudden warmth receded and his palms tingled with energy. Both looked at each other, golden eyes meeting gentle blue ones. Blue ones...

"Holy frogs! Your eyes are blue!"
