Cool Water

Tōga suppressed a growl that desperately wanted to escape his lips. There she rode on her steed, with that stupid-ugly-hat perched on her head as if nothing had happened – well, almost nothing. He hadn't forgotten the feel of her in his arms; nor the fact that she had slipped out of his arms before he could place a kiss upon her lips, but first things first. He had to get rid of that ridiculous looking hat.

xxXXXxx

Kagome rode ahead, head held high, a smirk playing on her lips. The day couldn't get better, they were not only on their way to see her family, but there was a beautiful blue sky, a wonderful breeze - and Toga, the look that graced his face as they rode out earlier was priceless! Oh yes, she was wearing that horrible hat, but oh, was it worth it. She quietly giggled to herself, she would have to find many more reasons to don the hat.

Lazily looking around she saw a small water fixture ahead and licked her lips in anticipation. She was slightly parched from the dirt on the rode and water sounded wonderful. Nudging her horse into a trot, she made a beeline for the water and had her lips gently pressed against the cool water before Tōga even caught up.

He watched with annoyed narrow eyes, her lips skimming the surface of the water and wishing he were the water at that moment. 'So close,' he thought and his beast rumble in agreement. A sound down the road drew his attention; a small group was heading their way. This could be entertaining, he decided as he quickly came up with a solution to rid himself of a hideous object on his mates head.

I'm back, we are finally settled in our new home and are just working on claims – for the things the movers lost and damaged. We also sold our home, whew – one less thing to worry about and that was a big thing. Now trying to get back in the flow of writing and I'm having a horrible writers' block. :/ Any ideas for ridding ourselves of the hat let me know! I've lost what I had planned to happen, before we moved. :( Thanks for the reviews and for hanging in their with me; IntertwinedMelodies, Itachi anime, nipi, llebreknit, Esha Napoleon, kate, TearsDrippingDown Anerali, Tia, Veraozao and Netflix. Priss ^^
