Hey everyone!

My last story ended cuz I screwed up. But I've figured it out and now im back with a new story!

Disclaimer- all right, all right, I don't own him... BUT I WILL SOMEDAY! I SWEAR I WILL!

It was a normal day for the gang, they were sitting in a forest clearing. Kagome was preparing a

quick batch of ramen. Miroku, Sango, and Kirara were sitting, leaning on a tree watching Shippo practice his Fox Fire. Inuyasha was sitting in a nearby tree, keeping watch over the group (mostly a specific miko)

"Come and get it!" Kagome called. They all got up and took their servings of ramen, Inuyasha taking a heaping pile, overflowing his bowl.

Once they were finished Kagome made a sudden announcement.

"Inuyasha, I need to go home for a while."

"Fat chance, wench. They're jewel shards to be found," replied the stubborn hanyou. (A/N: for those who need to brush up on their japanese, hanyou mean half-breed.)

"What! Inuyasha come on, you always do this! My mom needs help preparing for a family reunion! Please?" the miko begged.

Inuyasha looked into Kagome's pouting eyes. I hate annoying her. But I can't have her going alone without me there to protect her.

"No. You're just going to have to miss this damn reunion. We need your help."

"Oh! NOW you admit that I'm a use! I thought I was a stupid, klutzy, useless wench!"

"Kagome, you're the only one who can detect the shards!"

"So that's all I am huh? A shard detector?"

"I never said that..." Inuyasha started, being interrupted by and angry sigh of exasperation.

"Yes you have! You're always saying it! What does it take to show you I'm more than that huh? Or is that all I'll ever be? Just a jewel detector?"

Inuyasha stared at her, hurt. She should know by now that I care for her. Why does she have to make me say it?

"Kagome, you know you're not just a jewel detector..." he started, being interupted yet again.

"I'm going home, whether you like it or not."

With that Kagome picked up her things and stomped off towards the Bone-Eaters Well.

Inuyasha started to follow, but stopped. I better let her cool off...

Inuyasha's train of thoughts were interupted by an angry femal voice.

"Well, go get her!" Sango fumed, " You could even stay in her time for a while. You're the one who made her angry, after all."

Inuyasha sighed. The demon slayer had a point. If he did wait for her to cool off she might think he didn't care about her. Not coming for her soon...

In a matter of seconds the silver-haired half demon sprinted off towards the well.

:Meanwhile...:

Ugh! I can't believe this! Now he probably hates me. But why does he always have to be so stubborn!

The furious miko barged through the door of her house, being greeted by her mom, who was washing the dishes.

"Hi dear, is something wrong?" the mother pondered.

Kagome flew herself on the ground next the table.

"Yes. Inuyasha is angry and it's all my fault!"

"No... It's not..." came a deep voice from the doorway.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome flung around to see a drenched Inuyasha (it started raining ha!) He looked like a puppy that came out of the bath. (A/N: I'm sorry... Inuyasha's so cute... I couldn't help but compare him to a puppy...)

"I'll think I'll go do the laundry..." Kagome's mom announced, heading off towards the laundry room which was across the house.

"What did you say Inuyasha?"

"I said it wasn't your fault. I was just to stubborn..." he said quietly.

"It's ok. But why do you care if I leave anyways?"

Inuyasha blushed deeply. "I don't know... I just don't like you not under my protection. I-I don't like seeing you hurt, Kagome..."

Kagome turned the color of a tomato. "W-we better get you dried up..." She ran off to find a towel.

Inuyasha walked over to the living room and sat on the sofa, getting the spot where he sat soaked in the process.

Kagome came back and started yelling again," Inuyasha! You're getting the sofa wet!"

Inuyasha jumped up and held his ears. All the yelling was hurting his hearing.

"Oh I'm sorry, I'm being to loud...I-I'm sorry," Kagome said, stepping closer to him and started to massage his head with the towel.

This feels kinda nice...Inuyasha thought. A low groan escaped from his lips, causing Kagome to giggle.

Inuyasha blushed in embarrassment. Looking at Kagome gave him a longing. Being a hanyou, he never thought he'd make friends, let alone have someone to love. Sure there was Kikyo... but he already talked to her... telling her he'd fallen in love with his miko companion. Kikyo surprisingly accepted this, even complimented it, saying they looked cute together. Inuyasha knew Kikyo had a kind heart, and he was thankful for it.

Inuyasha's train of thoughts were interupted by Kagome. "Inuyasha? Is something wrong?"

Inuyasha's instincts took over. He crashed his lips down upon hers, causing her to gasp. He quickly pulled back.

"I-I'm sorry..." he said. Great, now I ruined it...

"C-can I ask you a question?" she asked hesitantly.

He said a quick "yes" before she went on.

"I'm confused... so I'm just going to ask it..." she took a deep breath," do you love... me?"

He looked away. "Yes... more than anyone..."

For a moment she did nor said anything. Great, now I blew it...

Suddenly he felt a warm hand on his cheek.

He looked down at the young girl, seeing tears in her eyes. "Kagome?"

She put her face next to his. "I love you too..."

She closed the distance between them.

Yay! First chapter is completo! Wow that is looooooong! phew. Well toodles
