Winter Wonderland
The bright sunlight shining through the blinds of the living room window woke Kagome up that morning at the unknown hour. As her eyelid fluttered open, a painful strain resided in her neck, due to the result of Kagome leaving her head on Inuyasha's shoulder all night. She placed her left hand on the back of her neck while sitting into an upright position.
As she glanced at the clock, a feeling of instant dread filed up within her, 'what! How can it be11:30 already?' Kagome looked at the peaceful looking hanyou sleeping tenderly to her right. Though she didn't want to wake him, she knew she had to. Her family could arrive home at any time and she didn't want to get caught in the house with Inuyasha alone. Who knew what kind of embarrassment that could bring.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered, as she gently nudged the half-demon awake. "Inuyasha, wake up."
Inuyasha mumbled something incoherent and pulled himself away Kagome, thus falling off the couch in the process. The outcome of this occurrence resulted in the hanyou waking up at an outrageous speed. "What happened? Where is it?"
Kagome giggled lightly at his ridiculous outburst. "It's alright, Inuyasha," she responded. "Everything's fine. There's nothing there."
Annoyance and anger masked his features. "Then what did you wake me up for, wench?" Inuyasha near shouted.
"I didn't wake you up, baka. You fell off the couch on your own accord."
"Hmph," he retorted. "Yeah right."
Kagome sighed in exasperation. "Whatever, Inuyasha. I'm going upstairs to take a bath. I'll be back in a little bit."
Inuyasha stood up. "You don't need a bath again, you took one yesterday. Trust me, I was there, remember?" He folded his arms over his chest, hoping he had made his point loud and clear.
Shaking her head, Kagome thought to herself, 'I really don't need to deal with this right now.' "Fine," she said with a wide smirk. "I'll let you have what you want, if I get what I want."
"Deal," Inuyasha shouted without even thinking first. "Wait," he said after catching his error. "What exactly do you want," asked Inuyasha. He had a suspicion that the sneaky wench was up to something devious.
"Well," Kagome started, smiling. "Since you agreed…I want you to take a bath."
"What!"
"Yup!" she said with satisfaction. "Now get upstairs, mister. I want you in that bath right now. You never take one in your era, so that means you're taking one in mine. And you agreed, so don't you even dare to try and get out of it." Kagome laughed a bit at her own funnish-cruelty. "Cause you won't," she added in.
"But, Kagome," Inuyasha moaned, sounding babyish. "I don't wanna. I don't like baths." He began backing away from her, very slowly.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome demanded. She had now grabbed onto one of the sleeves of his haori and began pulling it near the stairs. "Stop being such a baby! You're not a cat, you know. The water won't hurt you." Even after she started demeaning him, Inuyasha still resisted her wishes and tried to pry himself off away from the insistent miko.
"Who cares?" he shouted. "It doesn't matter whether not I'm a cat or a dog, it doesn't determine if I like water."
With her face now a tint of angry blood red, Kagome stared daggers at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha," Kagome whispered in a pissed off voice. "If you keep ignoring my requests, I will 'sit' you to all eternity." Despite not directing the word specifically at him, Inuyasha crashed down to the ground the moment the syllable was uttered.
"Kagome," Inuyasha attempted to say with his face mashed into the rug.
But apparently Kagome would hear any of it, for the next five words out of her mouth was nothing but, "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" When her frustration had dried out, she took a seat on her couch to sit back and watch the after-affects of the seriously distressed hanyou.
Each time Inuyasha had tried to stand himself up, he was attacked with another batch of 'sit.' After roughly 7 minutes the effects of the spell had worn out. When he sat up, his aggravated eyes met Kagome's emotionless ones. With a sigh, Inuyasha gave up, "alright. I'll go take a bath."
Kagome's once emotionless eyes now contained gleam and satisfaction. "Oh thank you, Inuyasha," she said. Kagome slid off the couch and onto the floor, throwing her arms around the half-demon. "I just knew you'd see it my way."
A grumble escaped Inuyasha's lips as he made his way up the stairs to the bathroom. Kagome giggled as she heard something along the lines of "stupid wenches and their stupid baths" come out of his mouth.
Kagome remained downstairs until she was certain she heard the sound water coming from the faucet. Only once she was positive,was when she took the initiative and went to her room.
Kagome closed the door and quickly stripped of her previously worn clothes and changed into fresh one. 'Eh,' she thought. 'I'll bathe with Sango later.' After that, she paced around her room, bored out of her mind. Eventually, Kagome laid down on her bed with one of her textbooks covering her view of the door.
Many minutes and math problems later, there was a knock on her door. "Come in," she called.
Seconds later, Inuyasha stood in Kagome's doorway with nothing on except a towel wrapped around his waist. Kagome's jaw practically dropped to the floor; in all of her life she had never seen anything so captivating and beautiful as that which stood before her.
Inuyasha seemed to notice the way she was acting, for he shouted, "Oi, Kagome!"
"Huh?" she said, snapping out of her daze. "Yeah, what is it?"
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm done."
"Okay sure." Kagome quickly turned her head back to her book, trying to avoid eye contact with the delicious-looking hanyou standing half-naked in front of her.
Inuyasha eyed Kagome strangely; he took a step closer to her. "Kagome," he said slowly. "You're acting strange, what's wrong." With each pending step, Kagome hid her face deeper into her reading material.
"N-Nothing, Inuyasha," she stuttered out. "Just, s-stay there, okay?" She rolled over and faced her wall, "just, try not to come any closer, will ya."
That last statement intrigued Inuyasha to the fullest and, deciding to test his boundaries, he took a step closer; and closer; and closer; and closer until he stood at the edge of the bed with Kagome's back turned towards him. "Kagome…" he whispered in a silky voice. "Why are you hiding from me?" The smooth tones rolled off his tongue like butter. Inuyasha placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder and slowly trailed it down her arm, igniting goose bumps to occur over each piece of touched flesh.
She shivered both inwardly and outwardly when he carefully dragged his fingertips across her skin. It felt like feather-light tickles being stretched out on her body. "I'm not hiding. I'm just trying to read, but I can't do that when you're standing over me like some crazed, wild dog."
"Crazed wild dog?" Inuyasha stated in a mock-incredulous voice. He leaned above Kagome poised for attack. "I'll show 'crazed wild dog,'" Inuyasha swooped down fast and began tickling Kagome at an outrageous speed. His hands swiftly assaulted each of her curves and contours, making her writhe in a joyful pain.
"Inu-Inuyasha," she screamed, her hands and arms flailing in every which direction. Giggles and half-laughs escaped Kagome's rosy lips, adding a wonderful pitch to her angelic voice. "Stop it. Stop it right now!" The moment the word 'now' left her mouth, Kagome's right arm whipped out and smacked the side of Inuyasha's towel.
Before either of them had noticed, the towel concealing Inuyasha had dropped to the floor like an old rag doll. Yet at that point in time, both Kagome and Inuyasha froze for a split second. Only when it registered in Kagome's mind, was when she threw her hands over her eyes to mask her vision.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, still screening away her sight.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was still in a petrified-like state, unmoving and completely stationary. It took Kagome's voice to scream "Inuyasha!" a second time for him to gain control of his limbs and begin to cover himself up. He reached down and grabbed the towel and awkwardly attempted to shield his body.
Kagome dared to risk a peek at Inuyasha, and was partly shocked, partly delighted to discover that he had not yet fully concealed his previously exposed manhood. Although before Inuyasha could comment about her 'looking' at him, a loud slamming of the door and multiple voices, brought both him and Kagome back to a shocking reality.
"Oh no," Kagome said in a whispered panicky voice to a currently half-covered Inuyasha. "Mom's home."

laquasha – Wow! You reviewed ALL of my chapters, thank you. That's so nice of you. I just love it when readers like a story and feel the need to review all the chapters even thought they know that only 1 would make the writer happy. Thank you. Oh, I'm 16 years old, do you really think I'm mature? You'd change your opinion if you met me; I'm the BIGGEST kid in the world. A lemon will come soon enough, have patience.
Anime-Devil-101 – Well good! As long as someone likes my responses then I'll keep 'em up. Glad ya liked the fluff!
InuandKagforever – Thank you, though I wouldn't call my self an excellent writer, I'd rather say mediocre. I do plan to put Koga and Kikyo in, but I'm not sure if I should add in Naraku. What do you think? Do you think he'll add too much drama to the story?
ellie – Soon. It'll arrive soon.
Akutenchi – Very Cool. You're welcome. I'll go and check those out, too. Thank you for feeling like that, it's very uplifting for me!
lyn – Sure thing, lyn.
Kalara – Well, here you go. I think its spelt 'anticipation'. But close enough. Hehehe.
leonardo casadan – Thanx. I don't like to do different point-of-views because unless it's done perfectly, it can get really confusing for the reader. And since I'm the author, I'd have no idea as of how you're all feeling about it. But I'll keep it in mind, it does sound appealing for kiss scenes.
sailor saturn 55 – Thank you. I'm only here to please.
Ashley – Hey, sorry this chapter wasn't updated as fast as all the others but I've been really busy what with choosing colleges and all.
