The Crush

The trees whipped by Kagome's face as she clung onto InuYasha's back for dear life. She lifted one arm to protect herself, and inwardly cursed herself. Never tell a hungry hanyou that you would only make camp at a hot spring. She had put her own desire for a hot bath over his need to have lunch. Stupid to think a compromise would not be without consequences…

InuYasha smelled the water first, nose twitching and veered sharply to the left. Kirara with Sango, Miroku and Shippo on her back hardly had time to change direction. In fact, she could not slow down in time either. InuYasha came to halt by the hot spring, and she bumped into him from behind. This sent Kagome flying off his back. She did a complete somersault in the air, and came down hard on top of her back pack. Before InuYasha could grab her outstretched hand, she slid into the hot spring.

While the others sorted themselves out, InuYasha watched Kagome mutely while she picked herself up out of the water and waded ashore. She stood and glared at him, hands on hips, and he blinked.

“Can we have lunch now?” InuYasha said.

Picking up her backpack, she opened it. Grabbing a bag of chips, she ripped them open and upended the crushed contents on InuYasha'a head.

“Feh, what's wrong with you wench?” InuYasha said, dusting himself off.

“Can't you tell?” Shippo said. “Kagome has a crush on you!”

InuYasha turned red.
