Summer Days

Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 13th one, so please go easy. So anyway, it's nearly summer and Inuyasha and Shippo are tired of being left behind while Kagome goes back to her time to do what ever it is she needs to do. So they have plans to make their summer fun, though Inuyasha takes matters into his own hands. Thing is, a few things unexpected happen and the summer seems to get a little. complicated.

The next morning when Inuyasha woke up, he saw Kagome rushing around her room throwing things into her book bag and muttering under her breath. He looked at her curiously as she grabbed a book and was about to rush out the door. "Where are you going?" he asked. She looked back at him.

"I have to go to school." She answered.

"You HAVE to?" he asked. He sat up and stretched tiredly. "No one is really forcing you to go. You've come to my time on school days I bet."

"That was completely different! This is MY time and since you're here, there's no reason for me to have to skip school." Kagome answered.

"Well let me go with you."

"Inuyasha, do you really think that you'd fit in? You're a demon! You carry a sword. You have dog ears, slivery blue hair, run faster than any one in this era and has probably never seen a pair of jeans in his life!"

"What are jeans?" he watched as Kagome slowly began to lose her patience. She grabbed her bag and flung it over her shoulder.

"I don't have time to argue with you. I'll see you when I get home." He watched as she walked out and frowned. What was he going to do until she came home? He went down into the kitchen where Kagome was just now leaving out the door. Souta grabbed his bag and followed close behind.

"He goes to that school place too?" the half demon asked. Mrs. Higurashi smiled at Inuyasha.

"He's in fourth grade, dear." She answered. "Didn't you go to school?"

"No." the women looked at him in shock.

"Then where'd you get you education?"

"From my sensei." He answered. Mrs. Higurashi looked him up and down.

"You know your alphabets and all?" Inuyasha nodded and turned toward the door Kagome and Souta had jus left through.

"I'll be back with Kagome later." He said and left. He followed her scent until he reached the school. He sat up in the same tree and watched the students as they entered the building. He let out a sigh and leaned back against the trunk. Having a feeling he'd be waiting a while, he closed his eyes and dozed off. The next time he opened his eyes was because of the sudden shock of hearing laughter echoing across the ground. He blinked a few times. He looked around and watched as students sat around pulling out their meals. 'Lunch time already?' he thought and got up, stretching tiredly before going off to find Kagome. When he did find her, she was sitting on the roof of the school. "What are you doing here alone?" Kagome jumped and looked at him in shock.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were going to wait for me a home." He looked at her with a stern look.

"What, no 'nice to see you Inuyasha'?" he asked. She sighed and smiled a bit.

"I'm kind of happy to see you haven't gotten into any trouble." She said and sat down, pulling out her lunch. "Care to join me?" she asked and he nodded. She passed him some food and they ate together until a bell rang.

"What's that?"

"The school bell. I'll see you when I get home, Inuyasha." He watched her walk off and looked around before following her silently up on the rooftops. He stopped and hung upside down and looked into the window of her class where she and Houjo were talking to watch other, both smiling and laughing. He frowned a bit. Maybe it would be best if he stayed around a bit longer. *~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome was working on her homework silently wondering where Inuyasha could be at this time. She looked out the window and looked at the sky. 'There's no moon..' She though and heard the doorbell ring. She ran down the stairs and answered i. "Houjo!" she blushed at the fact he was at her house in the middle of the night. He smiled at her brightly and held out a book.

"You forgot this." He informed as she took it. He grinned nervously. "Just thought you might need it, that's all." She smiled and thanked him. They stood staring at each other expectantly. KAGOME! Where's Inuyasha at!" called Souta's voice. Houjo looked at her in confusion. She laughed nervously and came out the house, closing the door behind her.

"Would you like to go for a walk? It's a pretty nice night." Houjo nodded and walked closely at her side across the temple grounds. *~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha sat silently on the roof of Kagome's house staring at the sky with an annoyed look. His black hair blew in the gentle breeze and he narrowed his dark violet eyes at the sky. "Why does it only have to be for one night?" he asked the sky as he sat in his complete human form, looking at the moonless sky. He sighed and looked down at the ground where he spotted Kagome speaking to Houjo. He narrowed his eyes at the boy and moved across the roof so he could get closer and be to able to hear what was being said.

"So, that guy from yesterday. who was he?" Houjo asked as Kagome leaned against the building and faced him.

"Oh. he was a close friend of mine."

"How close exactly?" asked Houjo. Kagome looked up at him in confusion. "Well you know. cuz if he's not your. you know, significant other.. I'd like to be." Kagome went red and Inuyasha glared down at the boy. If he were in his demon form now he'd pounce on him faster than Kagome could say 'sit boy'. Suddenly, Houjo leaned forward and pressed his lips to Kagome's. She instantly pulled away.

"Excuse me. what was that?"

"A kiss." He answered. Kagome bit down on her lower lip.

"Listen. I need to go so I'll see you some time. school maybe?" she said quickly and ran off. Houjo watched her and looked down at the ground before going on his way as well. Inuyasha scowled. There was no way this little brat was about to win Kagome over. *~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome laid her head down in her arms as she sat at her desk working on her homework. or at least made an attempt to. Houjo had jus kissed her and it wasn't that bad. though she kind of wished it hadn't of been with him. She shook her head and turned back to her book. "What are you doing?" Inuyasha was standing in her door way with his arms crossed and in his human form.

"Math homework." She answered. "Care to join me?"

"Only if you join me now." He half demon answered. She looked at him in confusion, but noticing the serious look on his face, she agreed to go with him.

"Where are we going exactly?" Kagome looked up at him curiously, but he continued to look ahead.

"For a walk.. It's a nice night and all."

"Inuyasha, there's no moon. All there are only stars."

"What's wrong with stars?" he asked. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him.

"You're really acting weird, Inuyasha." She stopped in front of a tree and crossed her arms, looking at him with a serious expression. "What's wrong with you? You aren't mad because you're in your human form are you?" He faced her with an annoyed look.

"I'm acting weird because you damn human women are so weird!" he announced. "Do you ever know if you're in love or not?" Kagome's eyes widened.

"What?"

"Do you just go off kissing guys until you figure out who the hell it is you want to be with?"

"You were spying on me!" Kagome yelled.

"I was not!" Inuyasha yelled. "I was sitting on the roof minding my own business when everyone's favorite human came up and began drooling down your throat!"

"That's where you're wrong! For one, it wasn't that type of kiss, and secondly I DIDN'T want my first kiss to be with him!" Kagome yelled. She closed her eyes and turned her head stubbornly away from Inuyasha who was standing in front of her with a shocked expression. "It's just that some guys don't know when to make their move." She turned to look at him and when she did, he leaned forward and kissed her. Her eyes widened at that moment and after a few seconds, she relaxed and put her arms around his neck. His lips parted and so did hers. This was the kiss she always dreamed of when she was younger. the one with the guy who could make her feel most comfortable. There was a sudden flash across the sky that neither of them caught. Inuyasha pulled back slowly and looked at Kagome. She opened her eyes slowly and her face began going red.

"Why are you turning red?" he asked and she looked at him in confusion, her arms still around his neck.

"Excuse me?"

"You're turning red." Answered Inuyasha. Kagome pulled her arms from around his neck.

"Oh. I dunno why. I guess its because we just kissed and all." She answered. At that moment, Inuyasha began blushing. He cleared his throat and looked at the sky.

"I'll be back in my normal form tomorrow. I doubt you want to kiss me then." Kagome looked at him in confusion and then looked at the sky as well.

"I some how doubt that." Said Kagome, feeling as though she'd kiss him again if he didn't move back from her.

"But I'll be in my demon form."

"So." Kagome looked him in the eyes. "Inuyasha, even if you're in your human form or demon form, it really doesn't matter. You're still the same person. Just one form you have fangs and claws and dog ears." He smiled a bit at her.

"So, will we going back home tomorrow?" he asked walking back towards the temple.

"What for? I still have three more weeks of school left!" Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at her.

"It's time we head back to our home, Kagome." He informed. She looked at him in confusion and he smiled at her a bit before continuing back to the house. Kagome watched him for a while. What did he mean by WE go back OUR HOME?
