Kagome opened her eyes to the slowly setting sun, she felt extremely warm, considering Inuyasha was still hunched over her, arms around her lightly. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even and calmed. Kagome smiled and brought her hand to his cheek, rubbing gently with her thumb.

Inuyasha nuzzled into her touch and began to open his eyes, he brought his hand to hers, tightening his other arm around her.

“Morning,” Kagome giggled lightly up to him.

“Morning? Already??” Inuyasha said, still a little groggy.

Kagome laughed and looked towards the sun, “No…the sun is setting, not rising…so its almost night…you think the others will worry about us?”

“No…I did ask them to leave so we could talk.”

“Well, yeah…but…isn't it the new moon tonight?” Kagome asked slowly.

“So?” Inuyasha turned Kagome so she was facing him again, “We still need to talk…you need to tell me what happened to you…what made you so paranoid…I miss the real you…the carefree, and caring person you are…”

Kagome stared at him in shock, and then the sun dipped into the horizon. She watched as his ears shifted into their human form, his hair run from silver to black, from the roots down, and his eyes turn from amber to gray. Kagome gasped as she felt his claws change to the simple hands of a human, and before his fangs could change, she caught his lips with hers, shoving her tongue in to run it against his fang. She pulled away when it changed as well.

Now Inuyasha stared at her in disbelief… “Kagome….” he whispered.

Kagome smiled and leaned back into him, this time, she slowly placed her lips over his, `Inuyasha…please…forget…don't ask me again…' she thought as Inuyasha deepened the kiss.

Inuyasha suddenly pulled away, “Kagome…I'm really worried about you…please…I want to know what's wrong…”

Kagome began to tear, `It figures…' she clung to his haori and dug her face in the fabric. “I…I can't…it's so hard…to talk about…” she mumbled.

Inuyasha struggled to hear her, he barely heard, “Shh…Kagome…it's ok…” he said as he began to rub her back, “I'm sorry to ask…but I hate this feeling…” He added a few moments later.

Kagome slowly pulled back enough to look Inuyasha in the eye, “What feeling?”

“I feel like I can't protect you anymore,” Inuyasha whispered, `especially when you hide something from me…'

Kagome gasped, “When did this start??”

“When Naraku attacked us today…” Inuyasha had not raised his voice above a whisper, he was ashamed with himself.

“But…why do you feel like you can't protect me?” Kagome asked, she was confused.

“Well…considering you are the one who mutilated Naraku, warded of Kagura, and powered Tetsusaiga. You did everything, while all I did was finish them off…still, with your help…” He stated simply.

“Inuyasha…” Kagome said slowly as she wrapped her arms around him. She hugged him tightly while whispering in his ear, “I'm sorry, I can't tell…anyone…until I settle it…with myself…” She tried to explain, but it was just too complicated.

Inuyasha nuzzled against her. He slowly stood, bringing Kagome with him.

“Inuyasha? What are -“ She cut herself off at the expression Inuyasha had on his face, he was upset? Kagome placed her hand on his cheek and rubbed gently with her thumb. A warm smile crossed her features when he leaned into her touch and closed his eyes.

Inuyasha felt a slight pressure against his lips and at first he didn't realize what it was. When the object slightly moved, Inuyasha noticed it to be Kagome's thumb, moving slowly. He opened his eyes and watched Kagome's face, she was looking at his mouth, too dazed to notice his gaze locked on her face.

Kagome jumped slightly as Inuyasha's tongue touched the tip of her thumb. Looking up into his eyes Kagome leaned forward a little bit, and caught his lips with hers.

Inuyasha watched her eyes close slowly and then quickly followed suit. He deepened the kiss and began to soothingly rub her back.

Kagome pushed against Inuyasha with the same amount of force. She opened her mouth, causing Inuyasha's mouth to open as well, her breathing was heavy.

Inuyasha slowly inched his tongue into Kagome's mouth and began rubbing it against hers. He sighed contently.

Kagome ran her tongue with his and after they both ran out of breath, they pulled away from their heated kiss.

Inuyasha hugged Kagome close…”Just promise me…that when you are comfortable…that you will tell me what has been bothering you…” He whispered into her ear.

“No matter how long it takes…will you promise not to get angry?” She asked.

“Get angry at?”

“Sorry…at how long it takes for me to say something.” Kagome said…a little ashamed that she wasn't speaking clearly.

Inuyasha sighed, “I promise not to get angry.” He said half-heartedly. He knew that meant she would take a while before she actually said something about what happened.

Kagome `hmph'ed and let go of Inuyasha, letting her arms hang at her sides. She continued to stand there, hunched over against his chest.

Inuyasha pulled away and placed his hands on Kagome's shoulders, trying to keep her body from falling on the ground.

Kagome kept her body the way it was as she looked at Inuyasha's feet. She sighed dejectedly and slowly closed her eyes. Raising her hand to Inuyasha's, Kagome grasped it and intertwined her fingers with his.

Inuyasha swiftly bent down and placed his arm behind Kagome's knees. He picked her up bridal style and slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, he began petting Kagome's head.

Kagome nuzzled into him and swiftly fell asleep, Inuyasha continued to rub her head and he whispered to her. “You really wore yourself out…didn't you?” Kagome sighed and nuzzled in closer to him.

Inuyasha stood, bringing Kagome with him, walking back to camp; he was well hidden in the darkness, considering his hair was still black.

Shippo was walking back and forth in front of the hut, murmuring to himself. His fingers were laced behind his back and he was tapping his thumb impatiently.

“Shippo…” Both Sango and Miroku said solemnly as they watched the kitsune walk in circles, Sango looked at Miroku and smiled warmly. Her gaze fell back to the child and began to speak to him, “Shippo…they are fine, stop worrying about them, Inuyasha is strong…”

Shippo turned to Sango and said sharply, “Did you look at the sky recently? It is the new moon, Inuyasha is a human tonight!” his face was red with anger as he leapt up and onto the roof, trying to find his friends.

Sango and Miroku simultaneously looked up into the sky, seeing no moon they both scowled…they forgot…while Kagome reminded them two days ago. They sighed dejectedly. `How does she do it?' Sango thought as she looked down to the ground.

`Almost there…' Inuyasha was thinking as he was close to the edge of the forest, he had just passed The God Tree and the clearing with the well. Kagome was slightly moving in his arms, making it difficult for him to carry her much longer.

To his luck, Kagome began to wake. Her eyes opened slowly and she looked to Inuyasha. She was blushing lightly, considering Inuyasha's hand had moved. Originally, his hand would rest at the back of her knees, now, his elbow was at her knees and his arm was bent, causing his hand to rest on her rear. Inuyasha was grasping her firmly. His other hand was resting just below her breast; he was rubbing the side of it with his thumb. Kagome's blush grew and she tried to hide it by burying her face back into his clothing.

Inuyasha looked down to Kagome and smiled, he brought his hand to completely cover her chest and squeeze gently. He giggled lightly when she semi-jumped and her blush grew even more. She was looking up to him, meeting his eyes shyly, there was a small smile teasing her lips.

Slowly, but surely, Kagome turned in his arms, causing him to drop her legs. There she stood, in front of him, staring into his eyes, still blushing hotly.

Inuyasha's hand moved from where it shifted to as Kagome turned out of his arms. He brought that hand to meet her other breast, cupping it lightly. Inuyasha bent down as Kagome tilted her head and their lips met. The hand held at Kagome's chest began to massage lightly.

Reaching her tongue out, Kagome opened her mouth to lick at Inuyasha's mouth tenderly. His mouth opened as well and he met her tongue. His free arm wrapped around Kagome's hips and pulled her closer to him. The motions of his other hand ceased and he inched it to the shoulder of the sleeve, he pulled the fabric down so he could touch the skin. He smiled against her lips, happy that she let him do it this time.

The only reason Kagome let him do this was because he was not hitting her gash…and because it could not be seen, considering the material still covered it…and his eyes were closed. Kagome massaged Inuyasha's back, running her hands up and down his spine, as she did with her tongue along his.

Suddenly, Inuyasha heard something and he froze…even in human form, he could hear Shippo's yelling and the odd silence following it. `So…Shippo's worried because I'm in my human form…' he thought as he broke his kiss with Kagome. He delicately replaced her clothing and giggled as he saw Kagome try to reach up to kiss him again. To satisfy her, he leaned back down and placed a firm, passionate kiss on her waiting lips. `I'm surprised Kagome didn't hear…'

He soon understood why when Kagome pushed into him, she was obviously engrossed in the two of them while he had the habit of listening for danger…no matter what.

Kagome began to back up, bringing Inuyasha with her until she was against a tree, she used it for support. She pulled away from the kiss…mainly so she could breathe, but she also wanted to look him in the eyes, she hardly ever did that on these nights, mainly because she misses those gorgeous golden orbs. `His eyes are still beautiful…' She thought as her own eyes shifted back and forth between eyes.

Inuyasha smiled at her, kissed her lightly and whispered, “We should go back…Shippo is worried...” He stepped back and offered his hand to Kagome.

Kagome sank down to the ground and sat there for a few seconds. She looked up at him and giggled, outstretched her hand and took his. Unconsciously, she walked behind him and leaned on his back, closing her eyes slowly.

Inuyasha's smile had faded when she sank to the ground, but it came back when she leaned into him. He leaned forward to bring Kagome onto his back, and laced his arms behind her knees. Once situated, Inuyasha began to walk back to camp.

The soft rocking created as Inuyasha walked lulled Kagome to sleep.
