Disclaimer: wow, I am just way too paranoid about being sued, but...I-don't-own-Inuyasha-and-I-never-will. *sob* Now that that heartbreaking statement is over, who want's to know a little about me?

*silence*

I thought so! You guys just can't get enough of me!

*crickets chirping*

Well, I am so glad to be able to install a new chapter! I got really sad when no one reviewed my first chapter except for Jurei, who by the way is now my absolute favorite person for reading *both* of my fics! Well, I was so happy because my story has like four reviews now!

audience: *sweat drop*

That cute boy at fencing, though I haven't seen him for a while has had a tendency of showing up in my dreams, and believe me, I never have been able to control what I dream about. By the way, you guys who actually take the time to review, tell me if the second chapter was easier to read than the first, because I never really look at it once it is posted. I'm sorry that there may be spelling errors in the chapters, but you try writing a ten page story and then reading it over again, it gets really boring, then you look out the window and you're like, how did it get so dark, you mean there is a world outside of my room? Then you stand up and you get this major head rush and you are like, oh, I haven't eaten all day! And I will just shut up now so that you can read the story.

Chapter two:

As the two closed the door behind them, they tried not to look at each other in fear of great embarrassment. Everything was a red color, including the doors and walls. In one corner stood a book case, and out of curiosity, Kagome walked over and pulled out one of the books at random. She opened to a page in the middle of the book, Inuyasha watched her expression. She turned a bright red, so bright in fact that it was distinct over the red glow of the lights. She slammed the book closed and placed it back in the bookcase, slowly backing away.

In normal circumstances Inuyasha would be laughing his lungs out, but due to what the book contained, and the fact that he was in a room with an extremely beautiful girl that he barely knew, he held his tongue.

Without noticing, they both walked towards the bed, tired from all that had happened that day. The two of them fell flat on the bed, sighing from the relief of being off the road. Inuyasha rolled to be on his side, but was met by the surprised eyes of Kagome. For a minute, time seemed to stop and they looked into each other's eyes. Then, in a burst, both of them blushed and launched themselves off the bed. Kagome stood with one hand against the wall facing the bed in horror and the other hand trying in vain to cover her spreading blush. Inuyasha stood with one hand against the wall, facing towards it in hope of hiding his embarrassment.

Inuyasha turned from the wall, finally having control of his nerves and said gruffly, "I'll get them to send up a cot, it wouldn't be right for two teenagers to sleep in one bed." He said in full control, looking her in the eyes in a serious matter. It was quiet for a while, so Inuyasha started to head for the room phone. He was about to pick it up when Kagome jumped behind him and slammed the phone back on the hook with his hand still around it.

"If we send for a cot, we'll blow our cover and they will kick us out for sure. The only reason that we got the room in the first place was because of our story." She said, fully recovered from her past state.

"I ain't sleepin' on the god damn floor!" Inuyasha said, getting very angry.

"You don't have to sleep on the floor. It's not impossible for two teenagers to sleep in the same bed without doing anything!" she started out with a light blush, but it was covered as she started yelling. Inuyasha watched wide eyed as she blew up, not really looking mad, just surprised. "And anyway, if you offered to sleep on the cot, then I can probably trust you." She finished with a slight blush as all the anger went away.

Inuyasha looked stunned by the last part, even more than when she had blown up. Soon, his personality came rolling back form whatever trip it had gone on. "Who said that I was the one who was going to sleep on the cot." He said in a cocky manner. Kagome looked angrily at him and turned to walk to her shopping bag. She pulled out a small package and walked into the bathroom.

Inuyasha stood there for a minute before realizing that he really had only bought two that Kagome picked out for him and a swimsuit. He thought for a minute, then decided that the swimsuit trunks were the best choice. He dressed quickly and lay on the bed, looking at the canopy that covered the bed. It was a crimson color and looked like plain see through fabric, but when he looked at it closely, it sparkled slightly under the dim light that filled the room.

Inuyasha was looking at the canopy with such interest that he didn't notice when Kagome entered the room. She walked towards him brushing her hair lightly with a brush that was obviously from the hotel, considering it was new and pink with red hearts. Kagome stopped combing her hair and carefully settled down on the bed in hope of not informing Inuyasha of her presence.

She lay next to him staring at the canopy, periodically looking back at him to make sure that he was looking at the same thing. They sat there for a while before Kagome gave up looking at the canopy and propped her self on her elbow, looking down on Inuyasha. "So, fan of canopies I see." She said in a calm voice. Inuyasha looked like he saw a ghost and sat up in a jolt. Giving a surprised 'gah!' before sitting up and crossing his arms.

"Keh." He finished by turning his head away and looking uninterested by her comment. Kagome shrugged and got off the bed, continuing to comb her hair as she walked around the room and stopped to look out the window. Inuyasha turned to watch her as she brushed her hair and noticed the nightgown. It was a light yellow silk with three tiers of fabric that came under it in blue, pink, and green, giving the illusion of a slip. It also didn't take a genius to figure out that it had come from Victoria's Secret. It was pretty short.

Inuyasha got of the bed and walked up to the window, gazing out at the scene. His eyes opened in amazement as he looked down on an alive city filled with glittering high-rises and dancing lights on the towers above them. He stood there for a while, looking at the big city below. Then, Kagome spoke, "I always wanted to live in a big city, become an actress or a singer, just like my mom." She spoke quietly, but in a dreamy voice.

It took Inuyasha a while to register this, but then he asked, "Your Mom was an actress?!"

"No, but she had always wanted to be. She was very beautiful and she went to a bar one night to sing. That was when she met my father. She instantly fell in love with him, but that night she received two proposals. My father proposed to her, even though he had no ring. He said that he could make her very happy and give her anything that she wanted. Another man came up to her that she had never met before and offered her a job on a movie that he was casting for. That night she gave up her dream to be with the man that she loved." She said this in a sad voice.

"So where is she now? I've never seen her before."

"She died a long time ago." She said in a monotone voice, turning away without expression.

Inuyasha looked out the window still, thinking about what she had just said. 'She always seems so happy, how could she be with a past like that?' Inuyasha thought. 'how come I had to bring it up? Why do I always screw up so badly? Baka.' Inuyasha was about to hit himself when Kagome spoke again.

"How about we get some sleep? It's been a long day." She said in a happy voice once again. Inuyasha looked confused for a minute before nodding. They both lay down to sleep on the bed and realized how small the bed actually was for the first time. When they lay flat on their backs with their hands on either side, there was about three inches between them. Of course this is not really how people sleep, especially teenagers. Inuyasha flopped down first with his hands out on either side and Kagome landed shortly after him with her hands spread out to their fullest extent. As a result, Kagome's butt happened to land directly on Inuyasha's hand and she smacked him in the face with her arm.

The Result:

"Kyaaa!!! Inuyasha! Hands, Hands!!"

"My nose!!!"

Kagome jumped off the bed and tried to cover her spreading blush as Inuyasha took full advantage of his now free hand to clutch his nose. After Inuyasha recovered from his injury, he sat up and scooted to his half of the bed. Luckily for him, Kagome couldn't see the blush under the redness of where she had hit him moments before.

They stood for a while on opposite sides of the room trying to slow their surprised hearts and cool their red faces. After about five minutes they lay back down on the bed in a way that they didn't touch each other, but they did hang half off the bed on the other side.

'God that was embarrassing, I need to go to sleep and not think about him. Nope, there is absolutely no one sleeping next to me. I' m all alone in this bed , I just can not move. Yes, it is a very small bed and there is a boy on the other side. Aaaaaaaaaggggghhh!!!!!!! There is no boy there! I'm never going to sleep, am I?'

'Lower respiration, slow heart beat, cool face, ignore girl. What am I kidding myself about, I can't possibly think all those things at once! Not with my one track mind! All right, just knock off the last three things and I should be fine. No, wait, that doesn't help me at all! Ignore girl, ignore girl, stop thinking about sex every 8 seconds... wait, does trying to forget it make me think about it more? It's going to be a long night.'

The two of them lay completely still and didn't move a muscle in fear of bumping into one another, their eyes wide open as they tried to quiet their breathing so that the other one would think they had already fallen asleep. They both lay awake for a half an hour, not even blinking, though they were very tired. It seemed like hours before one of them decided to speak.

"Inuyasha? Are you awake?" the voice was a feminine whisper as it came from Kagome's mouth. She still didn't move, though it would give her comfort to wake Inuyasha up to talk for a while. There was silence for a minute, then a slight shift in the bed behind her and a husky voice responded.

"Yeah..." the response could have almost been a sigh if he hadn't moved to sit up in the bed. Kagome sat up and turned to face the boy behind her. He sat propped up on one arm and looked at her with dark eyes that showed no emotion in the dark room. He was barely visible with his dark hair and could almost not be seen except for his rather pale skin that showed great contrast with the black room.

Kagome turned onto her stomach and laid her head in her hands as she looked out the window for an instant. Her eyebrows were knit tightly together and she seemed to be contemplating something very important, but it was gone quickly as she turned to look back at Inuyasha and broke the calm silence.

"It doesn't look like we are getting to sleep any time soon, let's order a little something to drink. No, a lot of something." She got off the bed and headed to the phone that was on the table across the room. She turned on the switch on the lamp beside it and they both squinted as the light hit their sensitive eyes and filled the room instantly with light.

By the time that Inuyasha was accustomed to the light and he opened his eyes, Kagome was talking on the phone in the pleasant schoolgirl voice she always spoke to people at school with. "Yes, I would like to order a pitcher of warm saké, no, wait, better make that two. We'll pay cash, thank you."

"Saké?" asked Inuyasha in a concerned voice. He had no idea that Kagome was so fond of alcohol, and by the look on her face, it had made her day. Kagome walked into the bathroom, but didn't bother to shut the door, causing Inuyasha a great sense of intrigue and he decided that it was best to follow her. As he walked in he was relieved and upset at the same time that she was still fully clothed. He is a teenage boy after all.

Instead of taking a shower she was filling the hot tub with steaming hot water. Inuyasha had no time to question why she wanted to take a bath at the moment when there was a knock on the door. Still with a confused look on his face he grabbed a $50 bill out of the briefcase and went to the door. A maid stood at the door with a tray containing two pitchers that were filled to the brim with saké and a piece of paper that he suspected to be the bill. He directed her to put it down on the table with the phone on it.

He looked at the bill and on the bottom was printed:

TOTAL: $24.38

He shrugged and decided that he didn't want to do any math, so he gave her the whole $100 bill and before she tried to explain, he pushed her out the door. He sighed and took the saké to the bathroom to give Kagome some, but she was already in the hot tub in her bra and underwear. Inuyasha managed to stifle the geyser of blood that shot from his nose without her noticing, but couldn't stop blushing. He placed the tray on the sink and came up with a rude comment to level out the playing field.

"Why the hell are you in a bath tub at this time 'a night? You took a shower, like, an hour ago!" Inuyasha said harsh words, but his face was still tinted pink.

Kagome turned her head to look at Inuyasha and rolled her eyes, "It's a hot tub and for your information it is very relaxing." Inuyasha responded with the best response that he could muster.

"Keh!" he said turning his head the other way and crossing his arms. It would have been more effective if he wasn't wearing only boxers and his face were a more down toned color of red, but Kagome decided not to bring that up.

"Oh, forget about it, bring the saké over and get in." she said, eager to get her hands on the saké that she ordered.

Meanwhile, outside in the hall:

"I love you, you stupid teenager! If you would just stay the week then I could put my kids through college!" she said, kissing the money.

Inuyasha looked at her as if she was crazy, though it was obvious that he thought she was after all this time. "Are you stupid or something? I don't have a swimsuit!"

"Well neither do I and I'm fine!" she said, gesturing to her makeshift suit. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as if to disapprove, but got in. He had to admit that the water was nice on his tense back and he soon didn't even remember he was only wearing his boxers.

Kagome served the first round of Sake, and of course, filled the two glasses to the top, but was careful not to spill one drop of the precious alcohol. "See, you just have to loosen up if you want to enjoy yourself. I'll be dammed if I'm not going to live it out with all the money we have!"

Inuyasha was a little uneasy at first, being in a hot tub with a woman for the first time ever, and she wasn't even really wearing a swimsuit. This however changed after the fifth round. The two of them were laughing so hard (and loud for that matter), they must have woken the whole hotel.

A/N: If any of you have ever drunken alcohol in a Hot Tub, then you know that you get drunk much faster than if you drink it at a dinner party. This includes some funny drunk stories that you might hear about later.

Soon, the two bottles were empty, and the water had gotten cold, but with two drunken teenagers, the party is never over. They both jumped out of the tub and decided that the bed would make a good trampoline. They messed up the sheets and knocked the canopy off the bed. After they had thoroughly destroyed the bed, they decided that taking all the books and making a castle out of them was an extremely good idea.

They made the whole room into a fort, pulling the sheets clear off the bed and dragging the furniture around. soon the room was a labyrinth of books, armoires, and blankets. Kagome gave him the great idea that they should dress to fit their part, and wrapped herself in a sheet and put and upside down popery bowl on her head.

Inuyasha decided that his boxers were enough of a royal robe and took the top off an incense burner to serve as his crown. Kagome stood on the dresser, that was now in the center of the room, Inuyasha standing below her as if presenting his queen.

"Noble people of Sakura Kingdom. I come before you as your beautiful queen! Bow before my beauty and strength! My handsome king and I have built this magnificent castle for you!" Kagome presented in a deep, royal sounding voice. At this point Inuyasha was surprised that she could say such big words, even when drunk to the point of hallucination. "Bow to me!" she said in a less royal way. This time she sad it in a soft faint voice.

Kagome swayed on the furniture and fell, the sheets rippling poetically in the non existent wind. Her hair flew in her face as she headed for the ground beneath. Inuyasha was surprised by her sudden loss of words, and looked over to see her falling to the ground. He dove to catch her, and in the shear height and weight of the fall, he fell hard against the dresser behind him and was pinned.

He reached his one free hand to touch the place where his head ad hit the dresser, and was about to wake her. It was then that he truly saw her face. Her long, silky hair parted into strands to pool around her shoulders and against his chest. One strand cut across her flawless skin and crossed her pink lips, which were partly open, just enough to breathe in a small stream of air. These were the truest lips that he had ever seen. They were smooth and silky without a hint of dryness of cracks. Though they were the most beautiful shade of pink, they had no gloss or lipstick on them, they were the most natural and beautiful things that he had seen on any giver human being.

Her face was relaxed and white as the full moon, it showed no scars or blemishes. She looked like a moon goddess, like her skin had never been touched by daylight, and her hair never bleached by the sun. her eyelashes lightly brushed the skin under her eyes as her eyes moved in her dreamlike state.

He sat staring at her face for a minute, but realized that he really wanted to see if her skin was truly as soft as it appeared. With the back of his hand he gently touched the skin on her cheek. It was like soft silk on his rough hand, and he removed it in favor of her not waking up. He stared at her face longer yet, until he too fell asleep, relaxed by her rhythmic breathing.

The next morning found the two teenagers in much the same place that they had fallen asleep the following night. It was about 10:00 AM, and the rays of sun shown across Kagome's eyes and they slowly fluttered open, revealing her gray-blue eyes. She squinted in the bright light of the morning and groaned at the slight throbbing in the back of her head. She raised and arm to cover her eye, but soon realized that it was completely asleep and she couldn't move it. She moved the other hand which seemed to be fine and wiped it across her hand. She sat for a minute trying to adjust her eyes, when she realized that she was much warmer than she thought she would be if alone in a bed. Kagome also realized about then that she was not in a bed at all. Her eyes widened in a comical fashion, letting the sun into her vision to place a sleeping Inuyasha right above her.

Kagome realized that her arm was pinned slightly under his arm in a light grip and tucked slightly under her own body weight. She blinked a few times to get things into focus so that she could see what really happened the night before. She saw that the light source was coming from the large open window that was on the wall behind the bed. She shifted so that she could get out of Inuyasha's grip without pushing on him and causing him to wake unnecessarily. She braced herself against the floor and heaved herself up as hard as she could. Unfortunately Inuyasha pulled her tighter, pulling her whole body weight down onto the floor with him. This force caused him to once again slam his head against the wooden chest of drawers.

Inuyasha shot up, rolling Kagome onto the floor in front of him with a little grunt. He grabbed the back of his head and hissed in pain. His eyes closed from the searing pain of the once again self inflicted wound and the bright sun flooding into the room. He sat there rocking back and forth reciting every curse word that he knew, repeating some of his favorite when he ran out. Eventually he just went to the traditional, "OWW, OOOO, Oh!" Kagome sat up while he said his rant of curses. She knew that it was her fault, but she was far to scared that he would yell at her instead of whatever he was now.

Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw a very guilty looking Kagome sitting in front of him, flexing a numb looking arm. Finally, Kagome got up the courage and said, "I'm sorry, I think that it was my fault that you hit your head." She said it very quietly, and repeated it louder after seeing the surprised, confused look in his face. When he said nothing, she stood up and announced that she would get him some ice from the ice machine down the hall. She put the bolt in place on the door and ran out with the ice bucket. Inuyasha simply looked slightly more confused than if someone had told a hamster the meaning of life, then he stood up and tried to shake out his stiff tingling legs.

It wasn't until a minute later that he realized that he should say something about the fact that she thought it was her fault. With the experiences that he had had with women, though very few, he knew that this would eventually come and bite him in the ass if he didn't do something now. realizing that he was wearing very little, he grabbed a robe on his way out and let it hang open as he walked down the hall. Where was that ice machine again?

Kagome skittered out of the room and heaved a great sigh. She wished that he had said something instead of acting like he had no idea what he was talking about. All that Kagome wanted was to be friends with Inuyasha and they had been given a good opportunity. She just hoped that she hadn't screwed things up. She followed the signs to the ice machine and stood in there for a minute thinking. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice the person coming into the room behind her.

"What's a pretty little girl like you doing in hear all alone, huh? You know that places like this can be dangerous. I'll take you back to your room, my pleasure. You'll just have to stop by my room first so that I can pick something up." He approached her and took a hold on her wrist. Kagome, in the past, had taken self defense to get out of this kind of situation, but her head was still hazy from the alcohol that she had had the previous night. She tried to wrench free from his grip but he was far stronger than her.

She was about to scream for help when she saw Inuyasha walking along the hall, passing the ice machine hall completely. She said his name quietly at first, then shouted, wrenching in the mans grip harder. At first she thought that Inuyasha didn't hear her, and started to cry, fearing the worst would happen. The man behind her covered her mouth and she tried to shake the hand off. Then she saw Inuyasha running gallantly down the hall toward the room. He skidded to a stop in the door way and yelled at the guy, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

The man instantly released Kagome and backed away, "I wasn't doing nothing, I swear, I didn't know she was with someone!" he was speaking behind his back as he ran down the hall to his room. Inuyasha would have chased after him if Kagome wasn't firmly in his grip, shivering and tears running down her face silently. He had an arm around her waist in order to keep her as close to him and as far away from the other guy as possible.

They started to turn around when he realized that she was still in the clothes that she had worn in the hot tub the past day. He felt embarrassed that he had grabbed her so defiantly with no modesty. He took the rob off his back and draped it over her shoulders. She smiled at the floor, but he knew it was directed at him mentally, though maybe not physically. When they got back to the room, she sat on the bed and stared into space even when he spoke to her. He sighed and told her that he was going to change in the bathroom. He assumed that she understood and left the door unlocked, thinking that she wouldn't walk in on him.

Inuyasha was pulling his pants on when Kagome opened the door, blushing slightly, though still not looking directly at him. She spoke silently, though Inuyasha heard her because of the lack of noise in the bathroom.

"I'm sorry. I'm such a nascence. I'm really sorry, it's all my fault and all that I seem to bring you is trouble. You can just leave and I'd understand." As she said this, her head started to go further and further down to the ground. Inuyasha realized that she was crying again and felt a great tightening in his chest. He attempted to speak at first, but he couldn't. He relaxed again and responded.

"I don't want you to leave. I need you to be here. I never would have been able to leave without you. Just, pretty girls like you should be more careful with guys like that running around. Please be more careful." After he said it, he realized what he had really said and started to blush profusely. He was about to come back with a foot-in-mouth statement when he saw that she was smiling, still crying, but maybe they weren't the same tears as before. She said a quiet thank you and left.

The two of them packed up their things, things back to usual, and checked out of the hotel. They were glad to see the same front desk lady as before and were able to pay the rest of the cash necessary.

They got back into the car and headed out for another day of adventure.

Meanwhile: the cleaning woman entered the room and looked at the furniture pulled into strange places and the sheets strewn across the room. "It must have bee one HELL of a night for the newlyweds."
