Kissing Lesson

Inuyasha asks Kagome for some advice. When it doesn't go the way he wants who will he ask next?

Kagome had left to go take a bath. Humans were always so picky about keeping clean. Inuyasha was in a tree nearby, not close enough to peek, but close enough to defend Kagome should something try to attack her. Besides Inuyasha had too many things on his mind to try and peek at Kagome.

Humans were so strange in her time. He never could get used to living the way she does even when he was human. He'd asked her once how she could live there and she had said it was because she had always lived there. He always went home with Kagome when the new moon came. No one attacked him there. The last time he was there was what he was thinking about now.

Last night he had gone out with Kagome, or at least that's what her mother had said. Kagome and he walked around the city. She had showed him a thing called a mall in which there were so many people and noises and smells he was actually glad that he was human. They had gotten ramen and something cold and sweet after the ramen. Kagome said it was called ice cream.

As they walked around town, Inuyasha noticed a few people in the alleys and on not so bright paths. They were doing something that looked strange to him. When he asked her what it was, she blushed a little and said it was called kissing and it wasn't polite to watch or stare. Inuyasha noticed how she seemed to keep looking at him the rest of the night. She had a distant look on her face like she was sad about something. He heard Kagome coming his way and jumped down from his perch on a tree limb.

"Kagome?"

"Yes Inuyasha?"

"Why did you stop talking last night?"

Kagome looked puzzled for a moment before she blushed again and her eyes widened a little bit.

"You mean after you asked about what those couples were doing. Inuyasha, it isn't polite to talk about that type of thing." Kagome said and continued back towards the camp.

Inuyasha could only think of one other person to ask. He found the monk sitting next to a tree away from the girls. A fresh red impression of Sango's hand was on his cheek.

"I gotta talk to you."

"Of course, Inuyasha."

"Tell me about kissing."

"Just out of curiosity, why the sudden interest in kissing Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha told Miroku what he saw and what Kagome said. Miroku nodded and told him what kissing meant and how it was done.

"So it's something mates do then?"

"Yes, but it's also something a couple do as well."

"What's a couple?"

"A couple is…. Well what you and Kikyo were. Didn't you ever do stuff like that with Kikyo?"

"No." Inuyasha left and went back to his perch in a tree above the campsite. Rather than getting more answers, now he had more questions.

If kissing is something mates or people planning to become mates do, then why did Kagome keep looking at me? Why did she seem so sad? Could it be that she wants a mate? No, cause if she just wanted a mate then she would just say yes to Miroku. Could it be she wanted me to kiss her?

Inuyasha's next thought was cut off as Kagome's scream piercing through the night sky. Within seconds Inuyasha had grabbed Kagome from the place she stood just before the jaws of a centipede youkai closed. Inuyasha heard Sango's boomerang rip through the demon as he set Kagome back down on her feet in the coverage of the forest. She was breathing pretty hard and still had her arms wrapped around his neck.

Inuyasha breathed deep and tried to calm Kagome down a little bit. How was it he never noticed how good she smelled before now? Like fresh strawberries in summertime. Slowly she began to let go and he couldn't help but wish she wouldn't. When he could see her face he noticed the light, but growing rosy blush staining her cheeks. Their eyes meet for a couple of seconds, but felt like hours.

Suddenly kagome broke her gaze and tried to turn away. Inuyasha's hand tightened around her waist while his other came to tilt her chin up lightly. Their eyes meet again and Inuyasha licked his lips. As he moved his mouth towards hers, he watched her eyes flutter shut.

When their lips touched, it was perfect. Kagome's hands, which had been resting against Inuyasha's chest, wrapped around his neck once again and buried themselves in his hair.

Slowly Inuyasha pulled back a little and let go of his hold on Kagome. Kagome was so happy. Even Inuyasha was smiling. Kagome took Inuyasha's hand and they walked back towards the camp holding hands the entire way.
