TEASE

I don't know what he was doing. Maybe he was trying to prove to me that he was better. That he was the leader, the controller, the master. And I wasn't.

It was probably due to all of those "sit" commands that I was forcing on him. Maybe he was sick of it and decided to get back at me; maybe he snapped.

Well, whatever he was trying to do; it worked. Because, out of all the things and people in this world, the only thing I can think about is him now.


"InuYasha, SIT!"

"Wench, I didn't even do anything that time!"

"Oh, you know good and well what you did, and you better not do it again or I swear, I'll SIT you from here to America!!"

InuYasha once again had his face plowed into the ground and a sickening thud resonated through the meadow. Miroku, who was watching this scene play out with amusement, turned to Sango and asked, "What is an America?"

She gave him a shrug and slapped his wandering hand away absent mindedly.

Kagome, who was still fuming, stormed off towards Kaede's hut, not wanting to deal with InuYasha anymore.

'I'm gonna get Kagome for that; no way will that bitch control me. She'll learn whose boss around here. '

InuYasha bounded toward the forest to plan his revenge. He plotted and schemed until he was absolutely sure that he could do this and afterwards, she'd be too flustered to even sit him.

Later that evening the whole group had just finished eating around a fire that Sango and Shippou had made. The fish consumed, InuYasha asked, "Kagome, would you take a walk with me?"

"Uh, sure…"

Behind their backs, Miroku wriggled his eyebrows at Sango and she had to turn her head to hide her blush.

InuYasha and Kagome walked in silence.

"InuYasha, why did you take me out here?"

No response.

"Hello? Is anyone in there?"

No response.

"Come on, InuYasha! I asked you a question! "

InuYasha stopped walking and turned to Kagome. He leaned down; their noses touching, lips barely a millimeter apart. Kagome's eyes were closed but his were not. Kagome's heart sped up, her pulse quickened. She was short of breath. 'I've been waiting for this for so long!!' she thought.
