Chapter 11

It took Kagome several minutes before she felt the warmth begin to seep from her face although she still felt as if her stomach was filled with fluttering butterflies. Placing a hand on her chest she sighed loudly and relaxed as her heart began to slow to it's usual pace.

Just across the hall Inuyasha laughed quietly to himself as he recalled Kagome's face flustered from sheer embarrassment. Smiling, he opened the bathroom door and crossed the hallway to Kagome's room. Reaching for the door the half-demon heard an unfamiliar click as the door was suddenly flung open and met him square in the face with a resounding bang.

Inuyasha hissed in pain and instinctively brought his hand up to it hissing again as pain surged not only through his face but now his chest from his still healing wounds. His eyebrow twitched with irritation as he glared at the confused miko in front of him.

"Oh" Kagome gasped surprised as she reached for the annoyed hanyou.

"S'fine" Inuyasha mumbled backing up, his clawed hand covering whatever injury that may have been inflicted.

"Let me see" Kagome insisted reaching for him again.

"S'fine gome" the half-demon insisted rather nasally.

"Arghhhhh" she groaned balling her hands into fists on her sides. Inuyasha walked past the now fuming miko and plopped down unceremoniously on her bed wincing in pain again.

Kagome slowly made her way into her room and kneeled at the foot her bed in front of the grumpy boy.

"You've gotta be the clumsiest wench I've ever met" Inuyasha mumbled eying the quiet girl in front of him.

"I apologize already" Kagome retorted "It was an accident" she added softly "you're such a baby" she mumbled even quieter.

Inuyasha glanced up meeting her stare cocking an eyebrow at his feisty friend.

"Now move your hand" she requested quietly reaching up to move it herself. "It's not even bleeding" she sighed clearly relieved.

"Doesn't mean it didn't hurt" Inuyasha replied hastily.

"I suppose it's time for your pain pills anyway" Kagome added deliberately ignoring the hanyou's last statement.

Inuyasha smirked recognizing the gesture but his usual scowl returned just as quickly as it disappeared. "No thanks" he replied.

"Really……….?!?!" Kagome asked clearly exasperated "fine then" she added as she leapt to her feet crossing the room to gather a fresh set of clothing.

Inuyasha's ears twitched and drooped at the loud noises created by the annoyed miko furiously shutting drawers and slamming closet doors. Kagome looked back at the confused half-demon on her bed as she made her way out the door with a final "Hmpf" as she slammed the door shut behind her.

"…….. the hell?" Inuyasha grumbled as he leaned back against the wall. "Feh, crazy wench" he added sighing loudly as his eyes began to wander the room. Minutes of still and quiet crept by, calm surrounded the inu-hanyou and he felt the tension slowly seep from his body. Her smell, her wonderful smell enveloped his senses and felt his eyelids growing heavier. He fought in vain as he drifted off secure in the knowledge that surely his superior senses would wake him when Kagome returned.
