Kagome sat idlt by, chin in her partially balled up fist, staring at the children in the lake. Inuyasha had came in, mightly cheerful for that time of the morning, and told her it would be good for her to come outside. She scoffed. How was it supposed to be good for her if she couldn't do anything but watch other people have fun? What was worse was that no one sat with her. Sango was the life guard on duty and Inuyasha was horsing around with Miroku in the water. Shippo's company would have sufficed but he was off playing with her brother. Kagome couldn't be mad at little Shippo. He had started opening up and she knew that he hadn't played with other children before. Kagome sighed. This sure was fun.
"Hey, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah Miro?" Inuyasha chuckled.
"What's the matter with Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked at the girl in question and noticed her face. She looked miserable and lonely. If it were any other time he would have said she was cute with her bottom lip poking out and her hair a tousled mess. He felt bed for making her come all the way out here and making her sit there and watch other people have fun. Miroku gave him a push in her direction.
"What?"
"Go to her. She obviously needs some cheering up." Miroku grinned.
"Pervert."
Kagome picked at the wood on the old weathered picnic table Inuyasha disposed her to. If this was how the rest of her day was going to be spent she might as well go back to the cabin and sleep or watch tv. She hadn't once turned the thing on since she had been here. Kagome blinked at the shadow that descending on the table. She could distinctly make out two twitching ears on the top of the person's head. Kagome looked up at the looming figure of Inuyasha and promptly dropped her head back down to stare at the table.
"Kagome, don't be mad at me."
"I'm not mad."
Inuyasha chuckled a little. Kagome couldn't tell a lie to save her life. He could clearly hear the pouting in her voice.
"Let's go do something."
"No thanks."
"Are you going to sit here and pout the rest of the day?"
"That's what you left me here to do."
"Keh."
Inuyasha turned and crossed his arms. He saw that Sango had joined Miroku sometime after he had come out of the water. The pair were looking at him as if he was a criminal. He watched as Miroku lifted his hand to his mouth as if he were eating something. Inuyasha pointed to Kagome over his back, pointed to an unknown location, and repeated Miroku's earlier gesture. The pair nodded with grins on their faces. Miroku then gathered Sango into his arms and tried to kiss her. Sango popped him on the back of his head forcing him to let her go and she fell unceremoniously into the water. Sango came up sputtering and proceeded to chase Miroku around the lake. Inuyasha decided to take Kagome on a picnic and skip the kissing part.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called her name as he turned back around to face her.
Kagome was still picking at the table, oblivious to the events that had taken place in front of her. "What?"
"Let's do something."
"I told you no."
"That's too bad. I'll be right back. I have to go get a few things."
"Whatever."
Inuyasha shivered a little. Kagome's voice was like ice. He had better hurry and make things up with her before she got really upset with him. Inuyasha planted a kiss on the crown of her head and bounded away before she could stop him. Kagome stared after Inuyasha. The guy was a complete mystery to her. One minute he's mean to her and the next he's sweet and kissing her. Kagome sighed and went back to her favorite pastime: picking wood.
**********
He was making a complete and utter mess. Upon arriving in the kitchen Inuyasha had found the famous red checkered table cloth, spread it out on the table, and proceeded to pile food into the center of it. Sandwiches, different fruits, and canned soda made their way onto the cloth. Inuyasha tied the corners together so his little stash wouldn't fall out on the way to the spot he had picked for him and Kagome to eat.
Kagome didn't have time to react as Inuyasha plucked her from her seat and dumped her onto his back. She eyed the red checkered cloth suspiciously and hung onto his shoulders. What was in his mind, she didn't know. She would find out when he stopped at the destination only he knew. They were far from the resort so she had no clue as to where he was taking her.
It didn't take long for Inuyasha to find his designated area. Kagome was speechless when Inuyasha stopped moving. It was a meadow type of place surrounded by a wall of dense forest. Off to one side was a small stream. Inuyasha bent down so Kagome could climb off his back and he helped her stay steady as she put her extra weight on her good ankle.
"Wow, Inuyasha. How did you know about this place?"
"When you have a lot of time to spare and you're angry you tend to find places like this."
"Why were you angry?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm starved."
Kagome giggled. "I'm not surprised."
"Keh."
Kagome helped Inuyasha spread out the table cloth and straighten up what he had brought. They decided to snack on some of the food first just incase the sodas decided to spew all over them.
"You didn't bring any Ramen?" Kagome looked around the little spread of food and took notice that his beloved Ramen was no where in sight.
Inuyasha swallowed his bite of sandwich. "Did you want some?"
"No. I was just wondering since you can't go a day without the stuff."
Inuyasha laughed. "I had it this morning for breakfast. I would have brought some with us but it would have been a lot of trouble to get water to boil to make it with."
Kagome smiled. "I thought you would be handy with a fire."
Inuyasha's cheeks were tinged a light pink. "Keh. Eat up Kagome."
Kagome did as told and started eating some of the fresh fruit he had managed to grab. As she was popping grapes into her mouth she took more notice of her surroundings. She saw that to get on the other side of the stream one would have to walk across the fallen long or take one mighty big leap across the deep trench. Kagome figured that Inuyasha would be the only one who could do it. Or Koga. Next she peered over Inuyasha's head since he preferred to lie on his side with his head propped on his hand supported by his elbow on the ground. The tree behind him was gouged with deep claw marks. Maybe an animal?
"Say Inuyasha?"
"Waa..issss...iii?"
"Didn't your mother tell you not to talk with your mouth full?"
Inuyasha shrugged.
"Anyway, are there any wild animals out here?"
Inuyasha got a wild, feral gleam in his eyes. "Sure is."
He took delight in watching Kagome shiver.
"Like what?"
"Me." Inuyasha purred.
"You're not a wild animal."
Inuyasha tossed the rest of his sandwich on the ground and got up on his knees and hands to crawl over to Kagome. Kagome gulped and leaned back as far as she could go without toppling over onto her back.
"Oh but I am Kagome. I am."
Time seemed to have frozen to Kagome. It was just her and Inuyasha in some random meadow that he had found...alone. She wanted to scream at him to back away while the other part of her brain wanted him to kiss her again. Not one of those chaste kisses he had given her earlier but something that had a lot of passion in it. Something to go with that wild look in his eyes. He was going to be the end of her. Kagome's heart was beating eractically in her chest and she was sure he could hear it. Why else would he have his famous smirk on his face? Kagome licked her dry lips and let go of the breath she didn't realize she was holding. Inuyasha's eyes followed her movement. He moved forward a little more making her lean back even more. The little movement was enough to put pressure on her ankle and she winced. Inuyasha sighed and in one swift movement pulled Kagome into his lap. Once she was comfortably seated he rested his chin on her shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Kagome? What have you done to me?"
Kagome shivered at his actions. "What are you talking about?"
"I've never acted like this before. Not even with Kikyo."
"So you're supposed to be mean and harsh all the time then?"
"That's all I know. You've been at this resort for eleven days and I have already had some feelings for you. I can't believe I'm talking about this."
"Its ok to open up. When I first saw you I felt something. I need to know something though?"
Inuyasha opened his eyes and stared at her, encouraging her to continue.
"What are we now? You've kissed me and now you're holding me. I need to know if what we have now is going to progress. If it isn't we have to stop before one of us gets hurt and most likely it will be me."
**********
"Where do you suppose they went?"
Miroku sighed. Sango had asked him that one question for the tenth time now in an hour. He had told her he didn't know and then she had started going off about if Inuyasha had hurt Kagome then he was going to be a dead man after she castrated him. Miroku had run in fright for his own safety since Inuyasha was his friend. He couldn't stay away from Sango long. She was his girlfriend after all but boy, did she have a temper.
"I don't know my sweet. We did give him the idea to take her on a picnic."
Sango whirled on him. "Correction. You were the one making the food gesture and then after that YOU were the one to tell him to make out with her."
"Do you honestly think Inuyasha will follow my advice?"
"I don't know the guy. He did grab some food, if that is what was in that red cloth, and he did go somewhere private."
"I assure you Sango that Inuyasha is a cold fish in the love field. He's only had one girlfriend."
"Look where they ended up. I swear Miroku if he hurts her Inuyasha won't be the only one in pain around here."
Miroku gulped and followed after his enraged girfriend. Man, did he love her fire. But only if it wasn't aimed at him.
**********
Kagome watched the ground with her expresso colored eyes as Inuyasha continued to pace in front of her. Seriously, was that a hard question that she had asked him? It was as if she had asked him to give up his life for her. Apparently Kikyo had scarred him from taking on any more relationships but she guessed that she could sympathize with him. She hadn't met Kikyo personally but only heard from Miroku what she had done to him. Inuyasha startled her out of her reverie when he squatted down in front of her.
"I've made a decision."
Kagome nodded at him.
"As you know I was in a relationship with Kikyo. Before her though I never trusted anyone and after speaking with Miroku, or rather listen to him lecture me, I came to the conclusion that I didn't trust her either."
Kagome dropped her head expecting him to tell her that he didn't want to date her for fear of not being able to trust her. What relationship would flourish if there wasn't some level of trust? It would crumble and fall apart. Kagome felt Inuyasha cup her chin to draw her eyes to meet his. They were some of the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. What girl, in her right mind, wouldn't get lost in those amber depths? A crazy one, that's for sure.
"I understand if you don't want to get into another relationship Inuyasha. I just wanted to..."
Inuyasha gently placed his finger over her mouth to shush her. "You didn't let me finish. Even though I don't trust anyone, and probably won't for a long time, I want to learn to trust others if you will be willing to teach me."
Kagome's eyes sparkled with unshed tears. "You mean?"
Inuyasha nodded. "Will you be my girlfriend, Kagome?"
Kagome squealed and launched herself into his arms. "Yes yes yes!"
Inuyasha laughed and hugged the girl closer to him.
"We have a problem Yasha."
Inuyasha stared at her quizzically. "Yeah?"
"The dance is in three days and I can't walk."
"Oh no problem. I figured out an herbal remedy for you."
Kagome scrunched up her nose. "Herbal remedy?
"Hey, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah Miro?" Inuyasha chuckled.
"What's the matter with Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked at the girl in question and noticed her face. She looked miserable and lonely. If it were any other time he would have said she was cute with her bottom lip poking out and her hair a tousled mess.
