Thanks to all my reviewers, I'm so glad that you like this fic. Sorry about saying it was a one-shot, I meant it as like taking a chance on a Valentine's Day fic. Anyway here's the third chapter, and there is only one more after this.
How Sweet
Chapter 3: Thoughts and Breakfast
Inuyasha awoke first the next morning to the sun shining through the window into his corner.
"Damn sun." he grumbled as he shifted to try and get away from it. He wasn't having any luck so he decided to just deal with it.
"What should I do until she wakes up?" he asked himself as he looked at Kagome's sleeping form. She looked cheerful even in her sleep.
"Kagome. Why do you love me? You call me a jerk, 'sit' me, and I'm always yelling or arguing with you. So what do you see in me? After all, I am a hanyou, not accepted or even trusted for the matter, by anyone, youkai and human alike. But you saw past the fact that I'm an outcast, both accepting and trusting me. You know that I'll protect you always, and I won't let anything bad happen. Is that why you love me, because I'm your protector?" he mused while he faked sleep. "Hmph, what am I doing? Why do I do this, it's not like my questions will be answered? I'll never understand what humans think, let alone what a human girl thinks. Still, why does she love me?" He sat, never moving as he mused in his thoughts.
Then he was abruptly shaken from them by an annoying high-pitched noise. His hands quickly flew to his ears, trying to drown out the noise, as he winced from the pain now making itself known in his head. Then it suddenly stopped and he felt something touch his face. He opened his eyes and saw Kagome's hand on his cheek and her eyes looking at him, full of concern.
"Are you alright?" she asked quietly, the worry evident in her voice. He nodded slightly and removed his hands from his head.
"What the hell was that? My ears are still ringing and they hurt like hell." He said as he winced when he moved his ears.
"It was an alarm clock, to wake me up. I'm sorry, I forgot to turn it off yesterday." She apologized to him.
"It's alright. You forgot, so don't worry about it." Kagome was surprised at how nice he was being about her forgetting.
"Inuyasha did that cause damage to your brain, cause you're not yelling at me for forgetting?"
"Feh. I'm fine except for my ears." He replied as he rubbed his temples lightly, trying to get his headache to go away. Then he jumped, startled, when Kagome reached up her hands and began to gently rub his soft furry ears. Her touch was so gentle that Inuyasha became lost in it, as he absent-mindedly leaned into her hand. He rubbed his head against her hand and growled softly out of pleasure. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at his reaction to her touch.
"You're acting more and more like a puppy every day." She smiled as she continued what she was doing. Kagome stopped and he looked up with eyes that begged her to continue.
"Sorry puppy." She said and giggled when he grunted.
"I am not a puppy." He pouted.
"Yes you are. You're my puppy." She whispered while wrapping her arms around him. "My puppy."
Inuyasha blushed and he couldn't think. So he just wrapped his arms around her.
"Oi, is that my name now?"
"Well, let's just keep it between us. Only I can call you puppy." She told him.
"I wouldn't want it any other way." He whispered into her ear.
"Good." She said pulling away from his embrace. "Now let's go get breakfast. Then I'll pack and we can leave."
Inuyasha nodded as he got up off the floor. Then he picked up Kagome and walked downstairs. Once in the kitchen, he set her down and followed her over to the fridge. There was a note on it from her mother.
'Dear Kagome,
We went out for a day of shopping and won't be back till late. Sorry that we won't be there to see you off back to the Feudal Era. There's a box of Ramen for Inuyasha in the pantry for you two to take with you. Have fun and be careful.
Love, Mom'
Kagome tossed the note aside and then opened the refrigerator door. She pulled out a jug of milk, three eggs, a stick of butter, and syrup. Then she walked over to the cupboard and got out two glasses, plates, forks, bowls, and a frying pan. Inuyasha watched her as she cooked, noting her every movement.
"What are you making?" he asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
"Scrambled eggs and pancakes. It's an American breakfast and it's really goo." She said putting more batter on the pan and stirring the eggs.
"A-mayr-I-can?"
"American. America, or the United States, is a country that is all the way across the ocean that's to the east of Japan and it's really big compared to Japan. American is what you call someone or something from there." She told him as she continued cooking.
"Oh." He replied. "Um, Kagome, is there anything that I can do to help you?"
"Sure. You can put the plates, forks, and glasses on the table along with the jug of milk, butter, and syrup." She said.
Inuyasha didn't know what exactly all that looked like, so he just grabbed the stuff that she wasn't using. Kagome finished cooking and she dished out the food. She poured milk into both glasses and put butter and syrup on both stacks of pancakes.
"Let's eat!" she said as she sat down. Inuyasha ate the eggs and then the pancakes. The pancakes were sweet and fluffy as they melted in his mouth. Then when his food was gone, he sniffed the milk, and then gulped it down.
"Wow Kagome, that was good." He told her. She smiled and took his dishes, placing both his and hers in the sink. "I'll leave them for Sota." She thought to herself. Then she turned to back to see Inuyasha getting up and licking the sticky syrup off of his fingers.
"I'm glad you liked it." She said. "Hey Inuyasha, I have to run to the store for some supplies, so you wait here and I'll be right back. It's right down the street so I won't be too far away."
"You better hurry up, or else I'll shred your 'school books'!" he said rather annoyed to be told to stay there.
"Ok, ok. I'll come right back, bye!" Kagome said as she ran out the door.
"Three, two, one. Time to follow her, but I'll keep out of sight." He thought as he slipped out the window.

Ok there's the third chapter. I hope you all liked it. Sorry about not having this up ASAP, but ff.net was splitting the site so no one was allowed to update. Only one more chapter and then this little fic will be over. T_T Please review, your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated. They really brighten my day especially after a long hard day at school.
