He was sitting high in a tree. He was resting his eyes, but he couldn't sleep. Suddenly, he heard someone come out of the hut. He saw Kagome walk out with her bag and she placed it on the side of the hut. She walked back in and back out again. 'What is she doing?' Inuyasha thought as he watched her walk back and forth Kagome looked around inside the hut and walked over to where her bag was. She picked it up and smiled. Inuyasha saw Kagome put her bag over her shoulder and walk away. 'Where is she going, alone, this late at night?' he thought as he watched her figure fade into the darkness of the night. He was very curious to know where she was going, so he decided to follow her. He followed her until she finally stopped walking. She was by the hot springs. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. 'Why did she come alone? She usually brings Sango' he thought hiding behind a tree. She kneeled next to her bag and began to look for something. Inuyasha didn't want her to see him, so he thought it would be better if he sat high in the tree. He quickly leaped up and on a branch. Kagome heard the bushes move and turned around. She looked around and saw nothing. She shrugged her shoulders and went back to what she was doing. Inuyasha watched as Kagome took out a towel and some flip-flops. She stood up and began to undo the red ribbon of her uniform. 'Is she doing what I think she's doing???' he thought beginning to blush She was doing exactly what he was thinking. She took off her shoes and socks and placed them next to her bag. She put the flip-flops on and yawned. "Wow…I must be more tired than I think" she said She shrugged one shoulder and lifted her shirt over her head. Inuyasha blushed. She had a bra on, but he was still a little embarrassed to see her like that. She folded her shirt and placed it on top of her bag. Next, she took off her skirt. Inuyasha took a big gulp and began to blush more. 'Oh gods…I shouldn't even be here right now! … But…I can't take my eyes off of her. Now I know why Miroku's always doin' this…' he thought as he stared at Kagome's almost bare skin She reached for her back and took off her bra. Her breasts were completely exposed to Inuyasha. Inuyasha's eyes widened and his entire face was crimson red. He's seen her nude before, but he's never had a chance to get a good look. Now, she's standing in front of him, almost naked. He knew what she was going to do next. He began to grow nervous. He was scared that he was going to do something to make her find him. 'Stay calm and don't say anything' was all he said to himself. Kagome placed her hands at her sides and removed the last piece of clothing. Inuyasha felt his blood rushing through his entire body. His heart was pumping and his palms were sweaty. He had to control his animal hunger for her. He didn't want to do anything that would scar Kagome or himself. He took quiet deep breaths and calmed himself. He was a little too excited for his own good. Kagome slowly entered the spring. She dunked her entire body in the water and back up again. She pushed her hair back and laid against a rock. Inuyasha was in awe. He loved everything he saw. He loved the way small droplets of water would slide down her neck and shoulders. He loved the way the heated water would give an extra rosy glow to her skin. He just wished he could be in there with her. The whole time she was there, he didn't take his eyes off of her, not even for a second. Finally, she got out and placed the towel around herself. She dried herself and put on her clothes. She packed up her things and began to head back to the others. 'I hafto get there before she does, or she'll know for sure that I was here' he thought leaping stealth fully from tree to tree back to the others. Kagome heard something in the trees, but it was moving so fast, she didn't get to see what it was. She ignored it and walked back to the others. When she got there she saw Inuyasha up in a tree 'sleeping'. She looked up at him suspiciously. And walked into the hut. Inuyasha opened one eye to make sure she was gone and let out a deep sigh. 'Phew! That was close!" He looked up at the moon and thought, 'Kagome…one of these days…'
