Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha (Wish I did! I'd be making a mint right
now instead of being a broke college student) or any of its characters,
they all belong to the wonderful mind of Rumiko Takahashi.

Chapter 3: Caught
Frantically he looked around, there just had to be a way out. Quickly he crouched down and using all of his strength he lept up on top of the roof of the hut. Soundlessly the door opened and Kagome peered out, only to see nothing outside. She looked to the left and then to the right but nothing was there. Shrugging her shoulders absently Kagome shut the door and retreated back into the hut. Up on the roof the inu hanyou exhaled a deep sigh of relief. He had not been aware of himself holding his breath in expectation, but he had. Quickly and quietly he jumped off the roof top and dashed over to hide behind the wood pile. His mind worked overtime and his blood and breathing could be heard, pounding in his ears. Frankly, that was too close for his comfort. Clamping his hand over his heart, he slowly lowered himself to the ground as he tried to steady his breathing. He had been mere-inches from being caught and more than likely being 'sat'. His ears swiveled around, catching all the sounds around him. He could hear the villagers talking and working - going about their daily lives. He could hear the leaves on the trees rustle as the wind blew and he could hear the crows cawing as they flew by.
"InuYasha-sama!"
"Aaaaaahhhhh!", the dog-demon jumped up, knocking over the stacked wood of the wood pile.
"InuYasha-sama?"
Needless to say, he had not heard the old flea demon hopping over toward him.
With lightning quick reflexes he snatched the flea demon up off of the ground and was squeezing the life out of him with his thumb and index finger.
"Myoga!", he growled down at him, glaring daggers at him the entire time. Finally he let go and watched as the flattened bug drifted down to the ground like a sheet of paper. After a moment from hitting the ground, Myoga reformed with a slight * Pop* .
"InuYasha-sama, forgive this old flea for startling you."
Again the door to Kaeda's hut flung open and Sango, Miroku, and Kagome were all peeking out, wondering what the screaming was all about.
"InuYasha?", Miroku said as he spotted the frantic yet pissed-off hanyou.
"What?", he growled fiercely at them.
"Is there any particular reason why you're sitting on the ground . . . with a knocked over woodpile?", Sango inquired him.
The dog demon got up and brushed himself off and then stalked past them into Kaeda's hut.
"Keh, it's none of anyone's damn business."
He then ungracefully flopped onto one of the tatami mats; almost squishing poor Shippo, and sat Indian style and his head jerked to one side so as not to look at any of them.
Kaeda raised a suspicious eyebrow up at him but said not a word and continued sorting out her herbs.
Kagome moved in front of his face and scowled down at him, "What is your problem now?"
"Nothing!", he spat out and then turned his head again.
"He is merely upset that this old flea startled him twice in one day.", Myoga stated as he jumped on top of Kagome's shoulder.
"Shut-up, you!", he growled at the flea; while showing off his fangs.
"Well, you should not have been ease dropping over Lady Kagome's conversation."
"Me!? You were listening in too!", the hanyou accused him.
"You," a vein popped out on Kagome's forehead, "were listening in on us?"
InuYasha's eyes widened in fear as he began to scoot back, all the while his mind screaming, "Oh crap . . . . "

That's it for Ch.3. Sorry for such a long delay =( I was camping one weekend so I was gone from my comp and I've had a bit of writers block, so if this chapter isn't that good, blame it on that! * Ahem * Anyway, in Ch. 4 Kagome confronts InuYasha about his ease dropping habits!
