A/N: Im sorry about the weird format, I've been trying to figure out the spacing but it
always comes out like that when I put it in here. *sigh* I was going to put Japanese
translations at the bottom but it slipped my mind. Sleep deprivation will do that to you.
Again, Im sorry! Im going to keep trying differnt things with the format but untill I get it..
Please ignore it and keep reading. Thank you so much for the reviews!

Chapter 1: You Stink!


Kagome woke abruptly and practically jumped out of her bed. "Ite-e!" she cried, as

she fell back in pain. "Baka…stay in bed." Came a voice from the other side of her

room. Kagome jerked her head in the direction of the voice only to find a very amused

hanyou sitting at her vanity. Inuyasha was fiddling with Kagome's make-up bag and

had lipstick and blue eye shadow smeared all over his hands. "Inu-yasha?" she said as

a smile crept across her face, which immediately turned into a grimace as she put a

hand up to her face. She sat up slowly taking caution this time to her wounds which

she was now becoming fully aware of. "What..happened? Why are we here? My head

is killing me…" Kagome mumbled as she put a hand up to her temple. Inuyasha

walked over and sat beside Kagome crossing his arms and looking smug. "If you don't

remember, YOU were attacked after running away from camp yesterday with one of

your little tantrums." Kagome folded her arms over her chest and pouted. He contin

ued, "Honestly Kagome..you attract more trouble than that little brat kitsune of yours."

Kagome closed her eyes and fell back on her bed. She had hoped that was just some

stupid dream. The pain had been proof enough for her to dispose of that idea.

"What happened? I- I can't remember clearly." "You, baka, SAT me and ran off.

By the time I got to you the puny youkai had done quite a bit of damage. You had

already passed out. You're just lucky to have me around . I saved you." He stated

matter-of-factly. "What?! If you hadn't been such a jerk, I wouldn't have run off

in the first place!" She lifted her arm to give him a big slap for that comment but

cringed back in pain, holding her arm with the other hand. "Ite! Ite!" "Keh! I wouldn't

try that if I were you. Better rest up, were leaving soon." He stood up and started to

walk to the door. Stopping, he turned and looked at his hands "How do you get this

shit off? Some weird war paint?" he put his face to it, smelling it first, and then sticking

out his tongue for a taste test. He looked at her, growled and made a face. "Keh!"

and walked out her door. Kagome heard loud thumping down the stairs and then the

hissing of Buuyo. 'Why does he insist on torturing that poor cat.' She paused. ' Hes a

dog.' She thought, answering her own question. She let out a sigh and reached and

hand over her head, feeling her matted hair. "Oh, gross.." she whined and slid her legs

over the edge of her bed. Slipping into her fluffy, hot pink slippers, she looked down

at them in disgust. "It looks like I stepped in two blobs of bubble gum." Placing a

hand on the wall near her bed, she pushed herself up onto her feet. Stumbling

across the room to her vanity, she plopped down on the little pink and white seat

that was in front of it. Pushing aside the scattered remains of her make-up, Kagome

looked up into the mirror. She looked like crap. Crap wasn't the word she was looking

for but Kagome being such a wholesome girl didn't dare use the "s" word. She picked

up a brush lying near by and began to run it through the tangles. After a few minutes

of what seemed to be a hopeless struggle, she threw the brush at the mirror causing

a small crack. She examined her face more clearly. Spending time in Feudal Japan

really took it out of her. Her lips were chapped, eyes bloodshot, not to mention the

small cuts on her face. She curled her lip and teary eyed she yelled, "I look like SHIT!"

Covering her face she ran to the door. Thump! She plopped backwards onto the floor

and shook her head. Upon opening her eyes, she saw a blurry Inuyasha reaching for

her hand. After she didn't take it he crouched down and bent his head slightly to the

side. "Kagome? Nani?" he sounded concerned. "Are you hurting that much?"

He slipped an arm around her back under her arms and one under her legs.

"Come now, beautiful." he said sarcastically. 'Kami..she looks like all hell.' He thought

to himself. Inuyasha picked her off the floor and went down the staircase. "Kagome,

I think you'll need a bath before we go", he cringed "Keh! Kikyo never smelled that

bad. I cant believe you're her reincarnation.." With that, Kagome sobbed louder and

struggled out of his arms, running to the bathroom. He shrugged and sat on the

couch where Souta was playing video games. "What's with her?" Souta asked with an

edge on his voice. Inuyasha answered with another shrug and picked at his teeth.

He loved how Kagome's mom always kept ramen already made for him. He patted

his stomach. "Hmm.

Kagome slammed the door of the bathroom shut and leaned up against it. Shrinking

down into a little ball, she put her hands over her head and continued to cry. 'What a

jerk.' Standing up and rubbing her eyes she gently removed her filthy uniform ignoring

the occasional cuts here and there. They hadn't even given her a bath let alone changed

her clothes. Kagome ran the hot water in the bathtub and got out her strawberry

bubble bath. 'Hey, this might help a bit. I'll try anything at this point.' Kagome settled

into her nice warm bath and tried to relax. 'I wonder what Sango and Miroku are up

to..and what about Shippo? I hope he's alright.'
