I'm sorry this took so long to get out!! From now on, new chapters are
going to come out when I get the time because now I have tons of things
going on (school, track practice, choir festivals/performances, family
business, etc.). But since I'm terribly sorry for getting this out late,
I'll try to get chapter 5 out in the next couple of days or so. Until then,
enjoy.
Chapter 4

"KAGOME!!!!!" Kagome let the arrow go as Inuyasha screamed out her name.
Inuyasha watched as the arrow headed toward him, but to his surprise, it barely skimmed by him as the arrow lodged itself in the tree. Inuyasha turned his attention back to Kagome, who fell to her knees and broke down in tears. Inuyasha walked over to her and kneeled down in front of her.
"I.I'm sorry Inuyasha.I'm sorry for doing that to you.my anger took me over." Kagome said as she cried into his chest. Inuyasha just kneeled there, staring down at Kagome before wrapping his arms around her.
"We can talk about this after we get inside," Inuyasha said before picking up Kagome and jumped in the direction of the house.

Inuyasha placed the drenched Kagome down on the bathroom rug. Inuyasha started to head out of the bathroom before hearing his name being called.
"I-Inuyasha? Are you leaving me?"
He turned around to face Kagome, who started to stand. He turned away from her.
"No, I'm not leaving you here alone. Go warm up in that indoor hot spring thing behind you. I'll be back here in a few minutes," Inuyasha said before leaving the bathroom. Kagome smiled and shut the bathroom door before undressing to go rest in the bathtub for a while.
A few minutes later, Kagome heard a knock on the bathroom door.
"It's ok Inuyasha, you can open the door," Kagome said as she laid herself back down in the bathtub. She had wrapped a towel around herself so Inuyasha could come in to discuss the incident that had occurred about 30 minutes ago. Inuyasha opened the door to see Kagome relaxing in the bathtub, but to his surprise, she had the CD player on. The song "All the things she said" was playing. "All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head Running through my head. All the things she said All the things she said Running through my head Running through my head All the things she said. This is not enough!"
"Kagome, can you change the song?"
"Yea, can you hand me the remote that's right next to the CD player?" Inuyasha picked up the remote and handed it to Kagome and switched the song to "Still Waiting" by Sum 41 and turned the volume down.
"Kagome.I'm sorry for forcing the answer out of you but it was just that."
"You were worried that I liked some other guy so you did the only thing possible and you asked who and I overreacted," Kagome said as she twirled her finger in the water.
"Yea." Inuyasha said looking down toward the ground. Both were silent for the longest time. Kagome hit the pause button on her CD player, so the bathroom was dead silent. They both sat in silence for 15 minutes before Inuyasha stood up from where he was sitting. He leaned over to the bathtub and lifted Kagome out, but made sure nothing slipped. He sat down and laid her across his lap. Kagome looked up at him.
"Inuyasha, you'll get wet if I lay in your lap."
"I don't care," Inuyasha replied in his normal tone before looking down at her. He lifted her head up before capturing her lips with his. Kagome's brown eyes started to develop tears, but they were tears of joy. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck and returned his kiss. A few minutes later, their lips finally parted. Inuyasha lifted Kagome into his arms and carried her to her bedroom, where he gave her his top to his kimono to put on for the time being. He turned his back to her while she put it on (like she did in book 9 of the manga. If you haven't read it yet, she wears it sort of like a dress.). After she was done, she leaned back and fell onto her bed.
"Finally, I can relax," Kagome said as she hit the bed. She closed her eyes until she felt herself being hoisted up. She opened her eyes only to see Inuyasha's bare chest. Noticing this, Kagome blushed and leaned back.
"What is it Kagome?" Inuyasha asked in a slightly soft voice, his eyes closed.
"Um.let's just say I wasn't expecting to be uh.laying on your chest when you have no shirt on."
"The reason I don't have the other one on is because your wearing it."
"Hmm?" Kagome looked down at herself and realized that she did have both top parts of his kimono on. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier! Here, lemme give you one ba-"
"It's ok Kagome. If you're hot, just take one layer off then," Inuyasha said, still with his eyes closed. Kagome removed one layer of his kimono she had on and laid it down beside her. She sat there on the bed next to Inuyasha for a while, just looking down at his resting form. After several minutes had passed, she got up and sat at the foot of the bed. She looked down at her hands which rested in her lap. She sighed, which caught the attention of Inuyasha.
"Kagome, what's wrong now? You're acting all depressed and strange now, what is it?" Inuyasha asked in a serious tone. He opened one eye and saw her sitting at the end of the bed.
"It's nothing Inuyasha.seriously." Kagome told him as she fell back onto the bed. Her black hair spread out around her. Kagome finally shut her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. Inuyasha opened his eyes a few minutes later to see Kagome curled up at the foot of bed. He lifted her sleeping form and laid it next to himself. He wrapped one arm around her waist pulling her into him. Kagome noticed this and placed her hand on top of his before the two fell into a deep sleep with the sound of the rain hitting the windowpane.

Kagome awoke a few hours later to the sound of lightning outside. She rubbed her eyes and then went to see what time it was.
"Wow, I slept for almost 6 ½ hours. I might as well get dinner then for the both of us," Kagome said as she moved out of Inuyasha's grasp. She went downstairs and started dinner, which happened to be Instant ramen, for Kagome was in no condition to cook a full meal. After she finished cooking the ramen, she turned off the stove and then headed upstairs to change before waking Inuyasha. Kagome put on a long sleeve white shirt that showed part of her stomach and a red skirt that went to her knees that had a slit in the left side that went to mid calf. She walked over to her bed where Inuyasha lay asleep.
"Inuyasha, dinner is ready," Kagome whispered into his ear. Inuyasha didn't seem to move or respond to her. Kagome thought for a while before running downstairs and grabbed a bowl of ramen. She brought it to the doorway of her room. Inuyasha started to stir when he smelt the ramen that Kagome held. He instantly awoke and turned in Kagome's direction.
"Finally you wake up. Dinner's ready," Kagome said as she turned to head downstairs. Inuyasha put on his top back on that Kagome had on earlier before following her downstairs.
