The Need for a Hut

Walking down the rutted dirt path Kagome looked across the meadow at the wild flowers blossoming everywhere. 'It's so much prettier than in my time.' She thought to herself gathering the herbs Keade had asked for. Then aloud she said, "what a nice day, eh, Inuyasha?" she asked the hanyou.

"Feh." Came his usual reply and then surprisingly, "I guess it is." He answered.

Kagome looked up at him sitting in a near by tree to keep an eye on her. He was slouched against the trunk with his feet dangling on either side of the branch he was sitting on. He wore his usual expression. Eyebrows drawn slightly down to give him a perpetual frown that almost made him look pouty. `He's so cute.' Kagome thought as she often had over the past months. She yearned to climb up the tree and feel the silk fur of his ears as she had the first time she met him, But he hated that, so she just took this chance to gaze over his visage with a sigh.

Inuyasha realized that it had been quiet for too long but allowed Kagome her chance to rest for a moment as he looked around at the surrounding trees watching for any sign of attack. His ears perked to catch any noise to give an enemy away, but all they caught was Kagome's soft sigh. He looked down to find Kagome staring at him. His glance washed over her silky black hair down the creamy, now tanned skin of her neck and over the folds of her school uniform which showed her feminine form nicely before he roughly yelled, "What the hell are you looking at?" His violet eyes looked onto her deep mahogany and his mind filled with thoughts of passion and desire before he saw her hurt look and broke their eye contact. 'Damn girl,' he thought `always getting me worked up like this.' He could feel his blood pounding and the heat collecting in his abdomen.

`If your done then lets go." He said while jumping out of the tree but before he landed he heard a heated voice yell "SIT!!"

"Aww shi…" was all he managed to get out before slamming face down into the ground.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said hands on hips as she rose completely to her feet the basket containing herbs hanging from the crook of her arm. "Why are you so mean to me all the time? Don't you have a single friendly bone in your body?"

"Shut up Kagome!" he yelled, biting back a groan. "At least I don't `sit' you every time I don't get my way!"

`I only s-word you when you deserve it!" she yelled back dropping the basket and stomping over to him.

"And what did I do this time?" he asked heatedly. Unknowing to Kagome he had a nice view of her legs, almost completely up her thighs. His eyes roamed over the smooth contours pulled tight over firm muscle that had developed from the past months travels. Once again thoughts of touching her came to his mind and he had to turn his head away to keep from becoming aroused.

"I'm not telling you." Kagome crossed her arms just under her breasts giving Inuyasha a look that would've scared Sesshoumaru away. But Inuyasha didn't notice he was busy keeping his mind elsewhere.

"Feh." He replied once again.

Kagome saw him turn his head from her quickly after she gave him a nice view of her legs. She knew full and well what he was thinking as he tore his eyes away from her, a slight blush almost non-existent on his cheeks. She sat down in front of him with crossed legs, she did have her modesty you know, and reached out to grab his ears, rubbing her thumb across the back of the.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" Inuyasha yelled, "Stop touching my ears dammit!"

"Stop me." Kagome smirked at him know the spell binding him would hold for at least another minute. That left only his arms free to move, which he took advantage of he couldn't reach her arms to stop the persistent stroking that was driving him crazy and making him more aroused by the second. So instead he latched onto Kagome's thighs, right above her knees, and gentle pressed his claws against the soft flesh there making sure not to break the skin. He heard a gasp from Kagome and looked up to see surprise on her face along with an emotion Inuyasha didn't know. He then caught a scent and breathed deep realizing it came from Kagome. It wasn't her usual scent which made his blood rush every time he was caught downwind of it, this was new. It made his body heat up and his heart pound as he realized what it was.

Kagome was aroused.

He knew then that he must have hit a sensitive spot when he grabbed her. He noticed that she had stopped stroking his ears but was still holding on to them. By this time the binding was gone but he didn't move instead he moved his hands further up her thighs and then slowly down dragging his claws lightly over her flesh and causing her to suck in air sharply between her when she realized what he was doing. Reluctantly he removed his hands and jumped up facing away from her so as not to show off the erection he was sporting and thanking the gods he wore baggy clothes. He heard a sigh behind him and couldn't tell if it was of relief or regret.

"Lets go." He told her walking off towards Keade's hut hoping his body would calm down before then.

Kagome stared at his back her heart pounding in her chest. She was blushing and could feel the heat of her cheeks. She regretfully got to her feet moving one hand over the flesh where Inuyasha's hand had just been.

"Okay." She said quietly walking over to pick up the basket feeling the awkward silence that was most likely her fault. `It usually is.' She thought to herself. `But why did he just do that to me? So gentle, not like he usually touches me.' Inuyasha also noticed the silence and by now he'd calmed down enough to face Kagome. She was blushing and her face was downcast and thoughtful.

His curiosity got the better of him and he asked, "what are you thinking about?" in a surprisingly gentle voice. He walked over to her and took the basket.

"Nothing…" she answered hurriedly blushing deeper than before, and not daring to look at him. Of course she lied, she was thinking about him, about his hands roaming her skin and his claws scraping her like earlier.

"Fine." He said turning away not quite angry. He saw her blush and smiled at the reaction he'd caused.

They started towards Keade's hut continuing in silence walking at a leisurely pace, Kagome staying a step behind him. Inuyasha glanced at her from the corner of his eye watching her movements, the way her hair moved in the slight breeze, her hips swayed slightly with every step she took, her whole body bouncing. Her body was engraved into his mind leaving a lasting imprint even when she was in her own time.

Inuyasha heard a rustling in the brush about 50 yards away and smelled the attack before it could surprise them.

"Hold this." Inuyasha shoved the basket towards Kagome readying himself for the attack by standing in front of her.

"Wha…?" she said startled, then saw him tense up and understood. She looked around wondering where the attack would come from. "Inuyasha." She said quietly, "what is it?"

He glanced at her making shushing noises to calm and quiet her at the same time. Then it came. It was a spider yokai, and not a small one. It's eight legs stretched out in attack as the human head smiled around its mandibles. " Tasty humans, what a treat, it must be my lucky day." It slobbered, drool running from its mouth to splatter on the ground.

"Not today, you bastard." Inuyasha yelled drawing tetsiega as it transformed. He rushed towards the yokai swiftly, surprising it and the sword raced through the sinewy flesh ripping it in half. Unfortunately it was not a clean cut and Kagome and Inuyasha both were covered in blood from the yokai's mangled body.

"Inuyasha, you should learn to be less messy!" Kagome cried out, wiping splatters of blood from her face. "It got all in my hair!"

"I'm sorry, I guess I could of left it alone since it seemed so nice and all." he said sarcastically, sheathing tetsiega and crossing his arms in front of him.

"I need to wash off." she stared at him, her eyes left no trace of doubt that she meant now.

"Fine." he said turning around. "I can probably find hot springs around here somewhere." he sniffed the air.

"Not hot springs its too warm out here. A stream will be fine." she told him.

"Feh." He mumbled smelling water. "This way." And with that he walked towards the stream, Kagome trailing behind him. they reached the stream shortly. Kagome set the basket down beside a large boulder, and then plopped herself down beside it.

"Good thing I'm always prepared." She said digging in the basket, and pulling out four items; soap shampoo conditioner and a hair brush. "Time for a bath." She stood up, and walked over to the stream. She saw the sandy shallows give away to pebbles and then to larger rocks. She dipped a toe in testing the water, perfect for a swim or in this case, a bath.

Forgotten for the moment Inuyasha leaned against a nearby rock. Closing his eyes and feeling the soft breeze ruffle the fabric of is haori and hair. It carried Kagome's scent along with the blood of the spider yokai he had just exterminated. He heard Kagome shuffling around but paid her no mind, she would tell him when to leave. But she never did. He squinted one eye open to peek between his lashes and his eyes shot open. Kagome was already in the water up to her chin, the water concealing her body from this far away.

"Ka…Kagome! Why didn't you tell me to leave!" he shouted to her and turned away.

"You just looked so relaxed, so I figured you were asleep." She said shrugging. "You can leave now, if you want to."

Kagome saw him reacting just as she knew he would, his tough exterior fading away to his shy underlining. He looked over his shoulder at her, his face beet red.

"Wha… What do you mean by that?" he stammered not quite understanding her meaning.

"Well," she said exasperated, "you can leave or you can come bathe with me. It's not like there isn't enough room or anything." She spread her arms taking in the surrounding water.

"No way!" he said giving her an odd look. "I know you too well Kagome. As soon as I turn around you'll sit me and call me a hentai. Do you think I'm stupid or somthin'?" he turned his body halfway as if his mind was in conflict with what to do.

"Baka Inuyasha! Stop being so stubborn." she told him in return. "You're just to embarrassed that's all."

"I am not." His face flushed at the insult.

"Really?" Kagome looked at him one eyebrow drawn down questioningly. "Prove it."

"I will." He said finally, a blush replacing his anger as he told her, "turn around."

"Uh." Kagome let out as she turned around and smiled. `I knew he'd fall for it!' she thought, hearing him struggling out of his clothes behind her she said, "Need any help up there?"

"No! I am fully capable of undressing myself, thank you." he yelled flustered. `Stupid girl, how'd I end up agreeing to this?' he was finally out of his clothes, making sure Kagome's back stayed towards him, he walked towards the stream. Suddenly he had an idea and an evil smile crept across his face.

Kagome was startled as she heard a splash to her immediate left. Turning she saw the ripples moving over the water where something had entered. She turned to the bank not finding anyone.

"Inu… Yasha?' she cried out faintly, worried that something had happened to him. She circled around in the water scanning the area.

Inuyasha meanwhile was swimming under water coming up behind Kagome, when he notice her moving and heard her say his name. In the lipid water of the stream he could see her figure clearly. Her tan skin, the curve of her back, the shape of her hips, the smooth round look of her petite ass, which he now had a very nice view of.

He decided to take full advantage of his position, planning on pinching forbidden flesh that would earn him a `sit' for sure. He didn't care his hands twitched to be on her, to caress her body. He soon became aware of his need to breathe, his body crying for oxygen, so he swam towards her and she unexpectedly turned. Her hips now faced him and he averted his eyes upwards so as not to be looking au the uncovered lower potion, unfortunately that brought him eye level with her fully matured chest. Her full breasts were buoyant in the water and the nipples were fully erect from the cool water rushing by them. Of course they weren't the only things erect at the moment and at the sight of her he came out of the water sputtering.

Kagome turned bumping right into Inuyasha who was gasping for air. Feeling his body against her she shuddered, his heavy breathing causing his stomach muscles to brush her sensitive nipples and a low moan slipped out of her mouth as she felt herself once more becoming aroused.

Inuyasha, finally catching his breath, realized their bodies were in close contact and backed away quickly blushing and turning around.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said softly, " I was afraid when I didn't see you."

"I'm sorry," he mumbled, "I didn't know you were so close." The lie slipped out unsteadily.

"Don't worry." Kagome reached out and touched his back. She stepped towards him, a little surprised that he had apologized. "I didn't mind."

"What?!" he asked turning at her touch and shocked at her words. Her touch was driving him crazy with the desire and longing to take her. "What are you saying?" he could smell her through the gently moving water and breathed deep, the scent of her aroused body only went to further his own.

"Inuyasha," she said, her breathing becoming more rapid as the area between them lessened. "I don't mind when you touch me, I…" she trailed off looking away, a blush creeping onto her face.

"You what Kagome?" he asked hearing her heart pounding through her chest. He reached out caressing her shoulder and gently pulling her towards him. She looked up at him, her eyes full of passion. His body cried out to him, wanting to pull her closer, to run his fingers through her luscious and silky black hair… her hair, he realized was still matted with blood.

"Stay here." He whispered, walking over to the boulder she had set the shampoo on. He popped the top of it like he had seen her do so many times before and walked back to Kagome.

She watched him tread through the water, over to the boulder she had set her things on and grab the shampoo. The boulder had been in shallower water, revealing Inuyasha up to his hips. His long hair glistened silvery-white, the blood washed out from his previous venture underwater. His well-toned body was tanned from long hours out doors and the water ran down his body in rivets sliding over his muscles. Just the sight of him quickened her breath. She waited for him to come back to her; waited for him, longing to have his hands on roaming over her body, touching places only she had touched before. He turned back towards her, holding something in his hands, then she remembered the shampoo and understood.

"Turn around." He said, his words like a caress. She turned reluctantly, her back facing him and felt him move closer entangling his hands in her black tresses. He lathered the shampoo through her hair, massaging her scalp lightly with his fingers, making sure not to scrape her with his claws.

Inuyasha loved the feel of Kagome's hair sliding through his fingers. He worked her hair into a thick foam and piled her hair on the top of her head, leaving her neck bare. His hands, still soapy from the shampoo, he rubbed along her neck and shoulders lightly gliding his hands down her back. He scooped up some water and rinsed off her neck and back.

Kagome lowered herself further into the water; tilting her head back and letting the cool water run through her hair, rinsing out the soapy lather. Inuyasha helped by scooping up water to reach the uppermost parts of her hair and soon all the shampoo was rinsed out. She turned back towards him. Looking over to where the conditioner was, not wanting him to leave and get it.

"Kagome, come on." He said catching her attention, as he moved towards the shallower end.

Kagome tried her best to stay under the water but soon it was becoming increasingly difficult. Where Inuyasha could stand she had to kneel in order to keep her modesty intact. "Inuyasha." she said quietly.

He turned around and realized why she'd stopped. If she came any further she would have to reveal the upper portions of her body to him. He smiled at her blushing face, and reached over to the conditioner, squeezing some into his hand, and moved back to her.

Seeing his movements she turned away again and he slathered on the conditioner, running it through her hair with his fingers, covering every inch of her hair he continued to feel her hair as it gently slid out of his grasp.

He moved away again retrieving the soap, and leaning down to her ear he whispered, "stand up, Kagome." His voice had a husky quality to it. The way he had said her name was like a gentle caress, but full of wanton desire.

She stood up, keeping her breast covered with her arms, as he slid her hair over her shoulders to allow him access to her back. She felt him slid the soap back and forth on her back and then, putting the soap down on a closer rock, he began rubbing her back lightly scratching to work up a good lather. His touch sent shivers up her spine and she gasped every time his claws stroked her flesh.

The noise Kagome was making made Inuyasha's head spin. He'd never realized that his claws could cause as much pleasure as they did pain. Soon the lather was running in rivets down her back along with the water he splashed on her back to rinse it off with. He pulled her hair back over her shoulders and gently applied pressure pushing her gently down into the water allowing him to rinse her hair. He found a rock perfect for sitting on and pulled Kagome with him.

She felt a gentle tug and allowed herself to be pulled over to a rock Inuyasha was now seated on, chest deep in water. She was down to her shoulders while he moved his fingers through her hair working out the conditioner. `He's so gentle' she thought `why can't he always be this way?' Of course she knew the answer already. Gentleness would be considered a sign of weakness in a demon, but she didn't care about any of that. All she knew was his touch and the ache between her legs that needed relief.

"Kagome." He said when finished. She turned to him and he could see the longing in her eyes. "I..." he was cut off by Kagome's lips pressed against his own.

Passion engulfed him as he wrapped his arms around her waist possessively. Her arms sliding around his neck, locking them in each other's embrace. They broke the kiss, staring into each other's eyes not sure of what to say. Inuyasha leaned down to Kagome's ear hugging her closer and whispering "I love you." He could smell the saltiness of her tears and loosened his grip afraid that he'd done something wrong. "What's the matter?" he asked hesitantly.

Kagome could see the concern on his face and smiled. "Nothing, silly. I'm crying because I'm happy… and because I love you too." His mouth spread into a big grin, drawing her close for another kiss. He scraped his claws against her back, causing her to gasp. He took this opportunity to move his tongue into her mouth tasting her while their mouths wrestled for dominance. She gladly gave over and let him take control as he moved his tongue across her teeth pulling out so he could gently suck on her lower lip. She moaned in delight as he brought a hand up to cup her breast, his fingers rolling over the hardened nipple.

He smiled at making those noises come out of her. His mouth left hers trailing kisses down to her chin, nibbling on her jawbone. His teeth made small impressions on her soft skin and he licked over them to soothe the slight pain, washing it over with pleasure.

Kagome ran her hands down his back, raking her nails back up causing a moan out of Inuyasha. It stopped him where he was nibbling on her neck and causing him to bite down harder than he'd meant to, drawing blood. Kagome didn't mind, that small wound had sent streams of pleasure through her making her breath catch in her throat.

Inuyasha tasted blood but he didn't hear Kagome complaining so he licked the wound clean and continued down her neck reaching her shoulder

Kagome had never imagined the sensations going through her body just by his touch. `Inuyasha…' she half whispered, half moaned, and her redoubled his efforts on her shoulder moving towards her collarbone trailing gentle kisses. She moved her hands over his shoulders, caressing his neck for a moment before moving them down to his chest. Her fingers glided over the skin there, applying pressure every now and then, experimenting with his likes and dislikes. Seeing what effected him the most. She could feel him shiver at some points and she made a point to remember them so she could tease him later. He moaned against the skin below her collarbone as she rubbed her fingers in a circle around his nipples. Never one to forget a favor, Inuyasha pinched hers between his forefinger and thumb, causing her to let out a squeal of delight and giggle.

"Inuyasha, stop teasing me!" she said in the most serious voice she could muster up.

"But that's the fun part, Kagome." He looked at her with puppy eyes (excuse the pun) and then took one of her nipples in his mouth lathering it with affection. This was a whole new sensation for Kagome and she moaned loudly. Taking his head in her hands and arching her back so he could do it again, rolling his tongue over the nipple and sometimes lightly sucking on it. He moved away hearing her groan in disappointment before lowering his head to her other breast and doing the same to it.

His hands had been holding on to her waist the whole time but now he moved one down to her ass caressing the cheek lovingly, and then squeezing rather hard, causing her to grind against him making contact with his hardened member, he gasped.

Kagome's eyes widened in surprise when she felt something hard rub against her upper thigh, very close to the ache between her legs.

Inuyasha stopped moving, not sure exactly how far she was willing to go, hesitating to ask for fear of rejection. She sensed his hesitation and moved her hand down grasping his shaft in her hand, revealing at the velvety texture. He moaned in surprise and she smiled, glad to have brought him pleasure.

"Inuyasha, let's get out of the water." She spoke softly nibbling his ear, releasing him from her grip.

Eager to comply, he stood on the rock and jumped to shore surprising her as she tightened her grip on him and gasped. He was causing her to do that a lot lately, of course she was doing the same to him. He set her down on a nearby boulder, finally able to view her whole body with out the restrictions of clothes. He loved the way she looked. Her firm yet soft skin a dark creamy color where the sun had tanned it and a milky white where the rays hadn't touched. The smooth curves of her body making her an almost perfect hourglass, if a little top heavy. He didn't mind, her breast fit perfectly into his hands and he loved the feel of them. Her long legs were pushed together and she tried to cover herself with her hands, blushing.

"Inuyasha, stop looking at me like that." She said shyly afraid that he wouldn't like the way she looked.

"I can't help it, Kagome. Your just too beautiful." He replied shocking her, no one had ever called her body beautiful before.

"You are far more beautiful than I." She looked at him and saw disbelief in his eyes. He had no reason to doubt her words. His body was perfect. Hardly any of the numerous wounds he had gotten had scarred, due to his rapid healing, leaving his body smooth. His sun-tanned skin a perfect shade of bronze, and she lowered her eyes to his very erect member and gasped.

"What's the matter?" he asked, afraid of what she'd say.

"Your… it's just…big." She sputtered out, trying to imagine what it would feel like to have him in her.

"I knew it." He said turning around. "I knew you would never like a disgusting hanyou like me." His words were a dagger on Kagome's skin, cutting deep. Her heart cried out for him and she jumped off the rock and ran to him. Grabbing him around the waist she flattened herself against his back, hugging him.

"Never Inuyasha, I would never think your disgusting. You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen." She smothered his back in kisses feeling the tension give away as he relaxed in her grip.

Relief flooded through Inuyasha, all fears of rejection being put aside. He turned in her grip and picked her up one arm around her arm and the other supporting her buttocks. Her legs wrapped around his waist and he kissed her not willing to let go until they were both were in need of air. They broke the kiss, breathing in the much-needed oxygen.

Still holding on to Kagome, he walked over to his clothes spreading them out as a makeshift futon. Laying her down, he removed his hands from her waist. It traveled down to caress her thigh. Kagome shut her eyes, a small moan escaping her lips that Inuyasha shushed with a kiss. He once more trailed kisses down her neck as he moved his hand to cup her gently between her legs. She moaned louder when as he rubbed his fingers along her slit, opening it, and inserted a finger into her, weary of his claws.

`She's so wet.' He thought yearning to be inside her, but wanting to give her more pleasure first. He moved his finger in and out slowly, adding second and after a moment a third finger, stretching her. He speed up his pace and she thrust her hips along with his movements, moaning at every thrust.

"Inu…Yasha." She cried, knowing that if he didn't stop soon she would reach her climax.

Inuyasha knew she was close by her rapid breathing and was searching with his thumb for that special spot Miroku had told him about. His thumb found it and he rubbed it in circular motions causing her arch her back as she climaxed, her muscles throbbing around his fingers, she cried out in pleasure, her juices flowing out of her running down her thighs. He kept his fingers in her until her body had calmed down, flicked her nipple with his tongue to keep her in the mood. Her breathing slowed down and he removed his fingers bringing them to his mouth to lick it clean, savoring Kagome's taste.

He rolled on top of her, his weight on his forearm so as not to crush her. He looked at her waiting for permission to move on.

She opened her eyes staring into her love's. The orgasm that had racked her body left her drained but she was now regaining energy. She saw the question in his eyes and said, "Be gentle." She knew it would hurt but she didn't care, as long as she was with Inuyasha. He loved her and that's all that mattered.

He leaned on one arm, moving the other down to line himself up with her opening. He brought his hand back and slowly entered her, a wave of heat flowing through both of their bodies. He pushed until he came to a thin barrier. Knowing it would cause her pain he thrust hard to get it over with as quickly as possible.

Pain flooded her mind as she cried out only to have it cut off by Inuyasha's kiss he tried to take her mind off the pain by whispering in her ear, telling her how much he loved her, waiting for the pain to subside. When the pain faded Kagome felt herself filled with Inuyasha. Noticing the change her asked, "Are you okay?" while wiping a tear from her cheek.

"Yeah." She replied, relaxing in his arms. He started a slow in and out motion taking his time but soon Kagome was thrusting against him, begging for him to go faster. He spread op his pace, waves of pleasure running through his veins. He heard her moaning under him, his lips caressing her neck moving to her chin and then to her ear, nibbling her lobe gently.

Her heartbeat faster, `He's inside me.' She thought, `Inuyasha's inside me!' she felt a building up, as if something was about to explode in her head. The faster he moved the more it built up and the better she felt. Every sensation before now was miniscule compared to this, every pore gasping for air, her whole body tingling with pleasure. Inuyasha was panting against her neck his face buried in her hair concentrating on the fast rhythm of their bodies; both were near exertion, both waiting to reach that heavenly plane of bliss. `Almost… there.' He thought thrusting harder, his body reaching its limit; he released into her filling her with her seed. "Kagome." He moaned.

"Inuyasha!" her body was jolted, she felt his liquid flow into her and it sent her over the edge, her juices mixing with his, her muscles throbbing around his member milking the last of his seed from him.

They collapsed in exertion. Inuyasha rolling to the side so he wouldn't crush her, and pulled her against his chest. He kissed her forehead whispering, "I love you."

She snuggled up to his chest, feeling sleep overtake her. "I love you too." She said falling into a deep sleep.

Inuyasha, being half-demon, wasn't half as tired as Kagome, but slept lightly anyway relishing the feel of his lovers skin against his own. He woke a short time later and gently rolled Kagome off himself. He stood up and walked to the river to wash off the residue of their earlier activities.

`I'd never thought it'd be like that.' He thought, `she's so…' he closed his eyes searching for the right words but finding none. He walked over to the basket filled with herbs digging around until he felt clothes at the bottom. He smiled to himself thinking `It's like she planned this or somethin'.' Taking out Kagome's extra clothes he walked over to her setting the outfit next to her.

Gathering her in his arms, careful not to wake her, he washed her off and dried her with his haori. He dressed her as gently as possible, but Kagome was completely exhausted, never waking up. He dressed himself and gathered their things, putting the basket in the crook of his arm; he picked her up and set off towards Keade's hut once more.
~ ~ ~

When he arrived at the village he saw worried faces staring at him. He entered the hut and they rushed at him to see what was wrong. He glared and them and they quieted down looking at him expectantly. He walked away toward a futon in the corner, hearing angry sounds coming from a familiar kitsune behind him. They talked Sango into watching Shippo as they walked over to Inuyasha who was setting Kagome down on the futon.

"Is she injured Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, "I don't see any blood, except on you."

"Back off." Inuyasha told him as loud as he dared, not wanting to wake Kagome. "She's fine." He shoved the basket at Keade. "Here."

"Do tell what happened, Inuyasha." Keade said noticing the clothes in the basket. "I see that these clothes have blood on them as do your own."

"That's Kagome's story to tell if she wants to." He smirked sitting down next to Kagome and leaning back against the wall.

"If I want to tell what, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sleepily, rubbing her eyes and stretching. "Are we still at the…" she trailed off when she recognized her surroundings.

"Still where?" Miroku asked.

"No where, I guess." Kagome smiled looking down at her clean clothes she glanced at Inuyasha. He winked at her, his head down so only she could see, and she blushed a smile spreading on her face.

Confused faces stared at them.

`I was afraid it was all a dream.' She thought standing up, she walked over to Inuyasha and plopped down on to his lap, startling him and all the others in the room, before planting a kiss on his cheek. "We're gonna need our own hut now." She whispered into his ear. It was his turn to blush as his smirk widened.

"Hurumph." Keade grunted Finally getting there attention she said, "It looks as if we'll get no story from them but these changes in character lead me to ideas."

"Think whatever you want ya ol' hag." Inuyasha glared at them daring someone to speak. "But we'll be needing our own hut, got it." He said in response to Kagome's suggestion.

Miroku had an amused smile on his face but said nothing walking to where Sango and Shippo were at telling them what he'd found out.

Inuyasha relaxed against the wall. He stroked Kagome's hair and kissing her forehead lightly. She had curled up against his chest and fallen asleep again. `Every thing is going to okay now. I can finally be happy.' He laid his head back against the wall and shut his eyes. He fell asleep with Kagome in his arms.
