Small warning for language, I guess. I don't own Inuyasha.

When Kagome got home after a way too long day of school, she was surprised not to be welcomed by Inuyasha. Most of the time he was in the living-room, playing with Buyo, and if not, he was at the door, letting her know how annoying he thought she was for being here and wanting to come back to her era. She had fortunately learnt to ignore it.

But Inuyasha wasn't in the living-room, nor in her room, where he stayed when he was here. She couldn't be sure of it, but she thought that it was because he liked her scent, though he would never admit it out loud. Well, he had once, technically, and if he didn't like it he would hate spending time in her room, right?

Finally, Kagome discovered Inuyasha in her grandfather's 'office' - though the small, messy room probably didn't deserve that title. He was behind the computer, and Kagome could feel her heart stop.

Oh no. Not again. She wasn't sure she could handle that a second time.

Last time Inuyasha had used a computer, he had discovered the wonderful (or not so much in his opinion) world of fanfiction.

He had not liked it, and as entertaining as his reaction to 'Inucest' had been, Kagome would very much rather have a not traumatized half-demon by her side, thank you very much. She carefully slipped behind him. Uh-oh. He was on a fanfiction website indeed.

"Inuyasha," she started carefully, "far from me the thought of giving you any order, but are you sure you want to be doing that."

Inuyasha scoffed.

"Shut up, wench. I'll do what I want to do, and this time, I'll stay away of this - how do you call it again?"

"Slash?" Kagome suggested.

"Right, that."

Kagome sighed. It wasn't like she could stop him, could she?

"I'll just look for your name this time."

Oooh. Oooh, that was such a terrible, terrible idea. Kagome quickly tried to remember whatever it was she knew about the Inuyasha fandom. She wasn't part of it herself, she would have found it quite creepy, not to mention the authors seemed to enjoy angst way too much for her own good. She loved it for other couples, but for hers? Well, let's say she would avoid it if she had the possibility. She had more than enough 'angst' in the feudal era, thank you very much.

Hang on. Wasn't Sesskag more popular than Inukag? Inuyasha wouldn't like that at all. Fortunately, Mirokag, Kogkag or Soulcest (her and Kikyô, her personal NOTP) were far from being even close from the two previously mentioned ships, so she shouldn't have to worry about that.

She decided to sit in a corner and to start working on her homework, ready to take over if Inuyasha got too angry and tried to crash the computer. Souta had taken it calmly last time, saying that "it would have rotten his brain anyway", but her mother actually used that one for various things. She made herself a small nest, between boxes, and started to work silently.

She hadn't thought that the first thing Inuyasha would stumble on when searching for fictions with her name in it would be… That kind of fanfiction.

"Hey, Kagome, what does 'bashing' mean?"

Kagome looked up from her work. A smile was dancing on her face. She just found it hilarious how she was the expert when it came to fandoms. It was true, she was part of quite a few, although, not wanting to be named an otaku, she kept it pretty much a secret. Then, she realized what what he had said implied, and grimaced. She had almost forgotten about it.

"Ugh, just… Just don't read it, would you?"

Inuyasha didn't answer, and she knew he was doing just that. She rolled her eyes and waited for a reaction. She would almost have liked it better if he had stumbled on a Sesskag story first. Then, she would have been able to show him the several pages long essays she had written on why Inukag was better.

Just because she wasn't a part of the fandom didn't mean she couldn't give her opinion, right?

Okay, she knew it was weird, but she really couldn't help herself. It wasn't every day you were part of your OTP. Or maybe any person in a relationship would do that to defend said relationship, if strangers on line wrote thousands of words long stories on them or their significant other being in love with some else.

"What the fuck," Inuyasha mumbled after a while. He was frowning, like he didn't understand what was on the screen.

"Yeah, that's what I said too," Kagome said with a somewhat shaky laugh.

"What are those people even on?" Inuyasha grumbled, closing the tab and searching for something else. He almost immediately found another story that also read the words 'Kagome bashing'. He still wasn't sure he understood it, but just in case, he decided to check it out once more, which got him even more annoyed.

If Miroku had been there, he would have shared his anger with him. If Kagome's mother or Souta or heck, even her grandfather, had been there, he was sure they would have written incendiary 'reviews' at the portrayal of the girl. With Kagome here, his pride forbade him from defending her too powerfully, but the fact that he could not let some steam out didn't help.

"Why do they make you 'sit' me every three lines?" he finally exploded. "Do they seriously think I would stay if you did that all the time?"

"Well, the anime made me use the command quite a lot," Kagome said guiltily, as if she was responsible for the suffering of the on-screen Inuyasha.

"But you don't even have any reasons here!" he protested, tapping against the glass of the screen.

Kagome should have done something to protect the poor computer, but instead she tilted her head in surprise.

"You mean you agree that sometimes I'm justified for using it?"

What did she think? That he didn't realize he acted like a dick sometimes?

"Of course not," he growled instead of admitting it, "but I think you think you're right. In that story you're just being a complete bitch."

"I did use it badly sometimes," Kagome whispered, encircling her legs with her arms and pressing it against her chest. "I'm sorry."

Discovering the 'Kagome bashing' fanfictions had been a harsh time, if she was honest. She had never questioned herself so much before, but after that, she couldn't stop interrogating every single one of her actions. Was she really as terrible as she had been depicted? A jealous, annoying, abusive person who thought that she deserved everything and kept getting in the way of Inuyasha's happiness? The thought was driving her crazy.

She had finally talked about it with Sango, who had looked like she wanted to slap some sense into her.

"Kagome," she had said extremely seriously, "you are one of the kindest persons I have ever met. You keep helping us in our quest, and we are all very aware of the fact that you don't have to. I know that you would never force Inuyasha to stay with you if you thought it wasn't right."

Satisfied, she had taken a sip of water, only to choke on it when Kagome asked pathetically:

"Even if he left me for Koga or Sesshomaru?"

Sango's eyes widened and she stared at the girl in complete disbelief, then started laughing. Where on earth did that come from?

"Do you even need to ask the question?" she finally asked, wiping a tear of laughter.

Kagome had smiled shyly. That ended the conversation. She still felt a bit self-conscious afterwards, but it did put her mind at ease.

Inuyasha completely ignored her apology, not even thinking that she could actually feel bad about something that felt so insignificant to him. The 'sit' were never pleasant, for sure, but if she thought she could hurt him with that, she was wrong. The most annoying part was when she used it in an argument, because it stopped him from saying everything that was on his heart, but he did realize that most of the time she only said it once he had said something really hurtful, which he rarely realized before the runt pointed it out to him.

He just wasn't good with other people's feelings, alright?

"I think I just killed you," he commented, staring at the story, shaking his head. "I don't kill humans."

"You mean you would kill me if I wasn't human?" Kagome asked.

He turned to glare at her, and it was only then that he realized that the girl was genuinely worried. He stood and sat next to her on the ground. She rested her head on his shoulder with a small sigh.

"That's a stupid question," he said. "If you were such at those stories described you, we would never have started to travel together. Why the fuck do you even care for what those people say about you? 's not like you know them."

Kagome wrinkled her nose.

"No, but I just don't think I should ignore criticism, you know? Because, what if they're right? What if I can better myself? What if I truly am a horrible person and I'm just too blind to listen to them?"

There were times when she just was the dumbest person in the world, wasn't she?

"Moron," Inuyasha said, almost tenderly, amazed at how she couldn't see how wonderful she was. "They don't know you. No one who does would say that you're a horrible person."

"They also say I'm pathetic, useless, and that you're right for loving Kikyô more because she at least can…"

"What the fuck?" Inuyasha interrupted her in utter indignation. "You mean there are people who can't understand why a woman who trained to be a priestess since her goddamn birth is better at it than someone who discovered that she had powers barely a year ago?"

Kagome smiled at how passionate he was, but Inuyasha was far from finished.

"You mean there are people who don't see you treating our wounds after a battle? You mean that those people, who probably never fought in their life, are shocked that someone would be afraid? You mean they don't realize how if you weren't there, Shippo would have probably died on the day we met, or that you saved our lives more than once? You mean they don't realize how much I-"

Inuyasha stopped himself abruptly, and felt a blush creep on his face. He had almost said "they don't realize how much I love you", but he… he couldn't say that. Kagome looked at him, and she couldn't contain the joy and the warmth that had filled her as he talked. In most of the stories she had read - because apparently she was masochistic and she had read a lot of those -, Inuyasha was the one who suffered the most because of her, and it killed her, so hearing him say that felt… nice.

There was one point he hadn't touched on, though, and she guessed he was about to when he had stopped.

She was right, but he had no idea what to say if not what he had began to say in the heat of the moment. He looked at Kagome, and saw her tilting her head to the side, and she just had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, and he was close from her and she smelled so good, and she looked at him like he was the most important person in her world and…

He lost it.

Next thing he knew, his hands were grabbing her face and his lips were on hers. Her eyes immediately shut tight, and he heard her sigh like she had been waiting for that her entire life. The sound nearly drove him insane - though, really, it wasn't the first time they had kissed. Kagome's moved her arms around his neck, and one of her hands buried in his hair, while the other rested on his cheek.

He ended up pulling back, his cheeks an obvious red. He couldn't forget where they were. Anyone could come in, after all, particularly her family, and he was pretty sure that as much as her mother liked him, she wouldn't appreciate discovering a scene such as that one. (He was wrong.)

"I don't love Kikyô more, you idiot," he mumbled.

Gosh, she could feel that her smile was too large, but there was nothing she could do to help it. Not daring to talk right now, she simply nodded happily.

She was still in a great mood when they went back to the feudal era, and it was quite obvious in the way she hopped merrily to go back to the well.

"Keh, what are you so happy for, wench?" Inuyasha grumbled, because it was all he could do.

Like he didn't know and didn't ask just so she would say it.

But Kagome didn't say anything, and just pecked him lightly on the lips. Then, with a chuckle, she jumped in the well, leaving him behind, completely frozen.

"Oh, just you wait!" he protested when he came back to his senses, before following her with a laugh that resembled a bark.

Yeah, if there were people out there who couldn't see how wonderful his girl was, it was their fucking problem. They didn't know what they were missing, but it was fine with him. It was already hard enough to have to share her with the rest of the group, not to mention that stupid wolf-demon.

It just meant there'd be more of her for him.

First attempt at writing on Inuyasha! I hope you've enjoyed it, I just wanted to write something light-hearted and funny. I stumbled upon a few stories bashing Kagome, and I guess this inspired me to write that ^^ Of course you can hate Kagome if you want to by the way, this is just for fun, it's not meant to offend anyone!

Please let me know if you've enjoyed the story!

La Dame.
