Disclaimer: As much as I'd love to, I do not own Inuyasha. :l


Inuyasha began pacing back and forth in her room, racking his brain for answers. 'What does that dream mean?! Does it mean that I won't keep my promise to Kikyo? But I have to! I love Kikyo! But what about Kagome? Does it mean I'd rather be with her?! Hell no! She's just a stupid…beautiful…wench... Shit, I don't know. She ran away crying in my dream, but why? Why would she do that? Could she like me, too? No..I'm always mean to her…but the other day in the tree? She said she liked being by my side… No, she must mean as just a friend. She's like that to everyone. She's so caring..'

Inuyasha established two things. One, he liked Kagome, a lot. Two, if he wanted her to like him back, he had to be nicer. (A/n: Haha, yeah right. Inuyasha-nice? Haha, but this is my fanfiction; so let's see how it goes. :D)

A faint rumble instantly filled the room. "I guess I should find something to eat. He walked down the stairs to find a dark house and Kagome and Mrs. Higurashi watching the tv. Well, until he got to where he could see Kagome with her eyes closed.

"Inuyasha," the sleeping miko's mother said. "You're probably hungry. Here, I'll make you something." She smiled at him. She was always so nice to him. He never really understood why. "But if it's not too much to ask, would you take Kagome up to her bed. She looks like she needs some sleep."

He nodded and picked Kagome up as gently as possible. He kept thinking how she looked so peaceful sleeping. Inuyasha stopped before placing her in bed and just watched her without really noticing.

He moved the sheets back and laid her down, then covered up. He glanced at her one last time before turning the light out and shutting the door.

On the way down stairs, the only thing he could think about was Kagome. Kagome, Kagome. At first he tried to fight it, but now he actually started to enjoy it. He thought about her scent, her face, her voice. He noticed it was all so beautiful. It was then that he heard her yawn in her sleep. He smiled as he walked down the stairs, knowing she was getting proper rest.

He strolled into the kitchen and was welcomed with a smile and the delicious smell of Ramen.

He ate quickly while Mrs. Higurashi went back to the living room to watch her shows.

When he was done he walked outside to sit in the sacred tree to collect his thoughts. He had no idea how he was going to get Kagome to like him. He thought about asking Miroku, but decided not to because of his history as a lecher. He thought about being like Hobo-or whatever and Koga, but decided not because they were wimps in his eyes and it didn't really seem to be working. He decided to stick to being nice for now.

She woke with the most amazing feeling. She had slept the best in a long time and she felt good. She got up and out of bed and looked in her closet for something to wear. She saw her wardrobe was getting ancient and knew she needed a change. She picked out a black skirt and a grey v-neck. 'A haircut wouldn't hurt either…or at least a trim.'

She combed her hair and chose to wear a little of eyeliner and mascara, she wanted a day out in town and she had to look her best.

"Ahh, now some breakfast and that should do it. I doubt Inuyasha will want to go, but I'm going to try anyways." She smiled large in the mirror before turning to leave her room.

Her mom made them breakfast burritos, and she still hadn't seen Inuyasha, the hottest man in Kagome's life.

She asked her mom and she said he went outside last night, but hasn't seen him since. 'If I know Inuyasha at all, he's asleep in the tree.'

She walked outside and the second she did, her scent came in contact with Inuyasha's nose and woke him up instantly. 'Kagome!' A smile spread across his face, and Kagome could have sworn she just imagined it.


A/n: R&R please. This would probably turn out better if you did. lol
