I grabbed my clothes and headed for a fast shower. Of course, I did it with a heavy heart because I never enjoyed quick showers. I was the type of girl who liked taking her time to wash her hair and rinse away all the soap then just soak until her fingers went all wrinkly, unless all the hot water was gone. But ever since Inuyasha came over one night, I learned never to take so long in the shower or he will come bursting in screaming hurry up, not caring if you were already out and only half wrapped in a towel. I blushed remembering how embarrassing that was. I freaked for days knowing Inuyasha saw me naked and probably thought my body was unattractive. Predictably, he pretended it never happened so I could never tell what he was thinking but on some rare occasions I caught him staring but he would just look away as if it was a coincidence that I saw him glimpse at me. I sighed, and turned off the water. I stepped out, dried my hair, slipped on a light sweater and a skirt that stopped at my knees. I rinsed and brushed my teeth and once I pulled my damp hair in a ponytail I was walking out the bathroom. I grabbed a pair of socks from my drawer and was pulling one sock on one foot while hopping downstairs on the other foot. I had managed to slip it on when I went tumbling down the last three stairs and landed behind the couch on the floor for the second time in the last hour.

"Klutz," I heard Inuyasha call from the other side of the couch. I huffed and stood up to see him sitting on the floor, legs folded together, hands gripping Buyo's front paws, he had lifted the rest of the cat's fat body up so Buyo was standing. Buyo hissed angrily but Inuyasha didn't take notice to my poor cat's protest and made him do a little dance.

"Why don't you put the cat down so we could go?" I snapped.

"You were the one taking so long," he said indifferently.

"And that gave you the right to harass my cat?"

"How come you never shut up?" He put the cat down and stood up, "Let's go." I mocked him with a deep voice of my own.

"Very mature."

"Just shut up and get out the freaking door!" I suggested placing both hands on his back and pushing him to the nearest exit, "Bye! Going to the library with Inuyasha!" I heard a faint 'ok' in return before I shut the door behind us.

"Wait! I forgot something," I announced running back in to grab my bag. I ran back and with a scoff from Inuyasha we headed out.

"Your hair is wet," he pointed out after a couple of minutes of silent walking.

"Oh I had no idea," I replied sarcastically.

"Now you do."

"Asshole."

"What was that?" he growled.

"I called you an asshole!" I screamed.

"Watch your mouth," an old lady snapped swinging her purse at me. She hit me hard and I fell into Inuyasha.

"Ow! Watch it old hag!" he shouted earning another hit from grandma.

"Respect your elders!"

"Why you!" I jumped in before Inuyasha really thought about causing harm to an innocent, but very cranky old lady.

"We're sorry m'am it'll never happen again. Right, Inuyasha?" I shot him a look and he huffed.

"Keh!"

"It better not," she spat before walking away grumbling about today's generation.

"Damn wrinkly woman," Inuyasha glowered causing my lip to twitch in amusement. He glared at me and I burst out laughing.

"The things that happens to me when I'm with you," I wondered.

"What's that suppose to mean, wench!"

"Nothing, Inuyasha," I muttered under my breath before humming a song that's been stuck in my head all day.

"What are you humming?"

"Pocket Full of Sunshine," I paused to answer then went right back to humming.

"Keh! Stupid name for a song!"

"Is not," I sang in tune with my hum.

"You're stupid for listening to a song like that," he teased.

"That's more than I can say for you," I retorted before running up the library steps.

"You wanna say that again!" he yelled after me.

"If you didn't understand it the first time, you're not going to understand it the second time, idiot."

"That's it," I heard him growl. I yelped and sped up knowing he was right behind me.

"Come back here and take it like a man."

"Fat chance!" I replied. Oh man, he's going to kill me! How long are these stupid stairs anyway? On cue, I reached the Library's door and Inuyasha reached me.

"You're dead," he grumbled and I smirked, "But Inuyasha if you kill me, you'll fail."

"I'll take that chance." I rolled my eyes and pushed open the heavy oak doors. The smell of old books hit my nose and I breathed it in happily. Grabbing Inuyasha's hand, I pulled him to the tables in the back. I pulled my laptop from my bag along with the book.

"Hold up! You had the book already and you didn't tell me."

"Sssh Inuyasha we're in a library," I whispered yelled.

"Hell if I care! Why couldn't we do this at your house?" I looked away guilty, knowing the whole time we could have just sat in my room and did this but I didn't want to. It's been awhile since me and Inuyasha really got to spend time like this and I wanted to make the most of it.

"I just wanted some fresh air, you know?" I said quickly.

"Whatever. Let's just get this over with." I smiled and we both sat down to begin on his book report.

(^.^)

"You see! That wasn't so bad, right Inuyasha?" I asked glad that we finally finished. It was probably the worst book report ever but it was done.

"Keh! Whatever. I'm just glad it's over," he stated as we made our way out of the library. Noticing he wasn't going to say thank you, I rolled my eyes exasperated, "You're welcome." He looked at me, his eyes soft, "Thanks Kags. I don't know what I do without you." I stared backed, shocked. Did he really just say that?

"I-it was no big deal," I stammered waving my hands with a smile. He didn't say anything back for awhile, "I mean it Kagome." I stopped smiling and watched him. He looked so vulnerable.

"You're always getting me out of trouble and all I seem to do is get you in more." I went to comfort him but he flinched away and walked out the library doors. With a deep breath I followed after him.

"Inuya-," I froze. My heart pounded when I saw Kikyo holding on to my Inuyasha for balance. Her books were scattered on the ground and it was obvious she had tripped. That wasn't what caused my heart to break. Kikyo had picked up her head, apologizing when she caught his eyes. Inuyasha stared back and the look he gave her was the same look I tried so hard to get and rarely succeeded. And when I did it lasted a few seconds but he never looked away from her. I felt like crying right there on the spot. How dare she try and steal him away from me? Not wanting her to be in his arms for another second I picked up the fallen books.

"You dropped these," I interrupted. Kikyo blinked and looked me over. I saw the slight distaste she held for me but I ignored it. She never did like me. She took them and thanked me.

"No problem," I replied and she was gone, going up the library steps. Inuyasha stared after her and my chest hurt.

"I think she's the one," he whispered after we both said nothing. I gasped, and I felt a ripping in my entire being. I wanted to slap him, then go after that wench and choke her. Then again my knees felt like they were going to give out any second and I was running. I was running down the steps, ignoring Inuyasha's calls.

How could he do this to me?
