"Boo!" Kagome jumped out behind Inuyasha, her hands held out in front of her like she was going to attack him.
"Afternoon to you too," Inuyasha responded, merely stopping to turn and look at her, not fazed at all by her sneak attack.
Kagome pouted and then sighed dramatically, resuming a normal standing position. "You," she poked her finger against his chest, "are no fun."
Fixing her backpack strap, she walked ahead of him. Inuyasha strolled alongside her.
"You know I have demon hearing. I don't know why you still insist on trying to scare me. It's just not going to happen," Inuyasha shrugged his shoulder and patted her on the top of her head, "Maybe you should give up."
"Never! I will find a way!"
Inuyasha only seemed amused by her tenacity. They continued walking in amiable silence across the campus. Their next class was the same and they usually met up along the way so they could walk there together.
"I think I want secret passageways in my house."
Inuyasha turned his head to look at her, cocking an eyebrow, "First of all, what? Second of all, are we still on this whole scare me business."
"Well, I suppose the train of thought came from there, but you know, everything isn't all about you all the time," Kagome nudged him playfully, "No, I've always thought secret passageways were cool. And think how many uses they have! Getting through the house faster, scaring people, hiding if someone breaks into the house, and more! Plus, they add such character to a place, don't you think?"
"I guess so. I've never really thought about it. Especially since, you know, the majority of houses do not have secret passageways," Inuyasha pointed out, "You're going to have to get that house of yours made special."
"Well," Kagome shrugged, her head titled down to cover the forming blush, "I figure we'll find a way. Maybe we can build a lot of it ourselves. I trust your demon strength and building ability."
Inuyasha coughed, his own cheeks reddening, "I have no clue what building ability you are talking about. I have none."
"Yes, you do! You built me a tree house years ago and it was made wonderfully! Remember how my mom had a professional come check it out because she was worried about us falling and he said it was structurally sound? You were nine, Inuyasha, nine. I think you've only gotten smarter since. And besides," Kagome's voice softened, "I believe in you."
"Keh, well, you're too trusting. I swear, you probably would have been kidnapped twenty times over if I wasn't with you all the time."
"I resent that, but you'll never know, will you?"
"And I'll never have to."
Review please! I'd love to know what you think about this series of drabbles so far! And I don't think I've ever updated a story so much! haha
