1: If the forest could talk
"Kikyo!" Inu Yasha cried waking up in a cold sweat

"Inu Yasha are you ok?" Kagome woke up to hear his cries.

She crawled over to him and felt his forehead. His head was as hot as the fire that Miroku had made. Grabbing her pack she took out a canteen of water and a cloth, after wetting the cloth she placed it on his forehead.

"Thank you Kagome." he whispered

"Huh? Did he actually thank me? she thought

For the rest of the night she sat by him watching to see if his fever went down. By the next morning Shippo and Miroku went out to gather some food, but Kagome still watched Inu Yasha.

"Why isn't he pushing her away?" Shippo looked up at Mrioku

"This is something you won't understand until you're older." He replied and grabbed him by the hand.

They left the camp site and went deep into the forest. Kagome took the cloth off Inu Yasha's forehead and wet it again with water. Suddenly she felt his hand taker hers, causing the cloth to fall on her lap.

"Kagome? Why are you so good to me?" he asked

"Inu Yasha...." she replied

"Why Kagome?"

"You're one of my good friends Inu Yasha and I just don't like seeing you hurt or in this case sick."

Inu Yasha slowly sat up and kissed Kagome's soft lips gently, but Kagome saw that he was falling and let his head land on her lap. She stroked through his white hair and he fell back to sleep. Looking around speciously she leaned down and kissed him back, but his hands soon pulled her body towards him.
