Inuyasha was doing nothing but stare at me. Why I didn't know. But as he stared at me, I
saw his eyes flick down to my lips, then to my arms, and then down to my legs. What he was
doing I didn't like. So I smacked him again. He took my hand in his and then dropped it at
seeing my face. The look on my face said, "If you don't let go of my hand, RIGHT NOW, I'm going
to kick your ass."

"What are you doing, Inuyasha?" I asked him.

"What? Oh, nothing that interests you Kagome." he said, but the look in his eyes said different.

"What, are, you, doing?" I said slowly, just to tick him off.

Inuyasha growled and for a second it looked like he would hit me, but then he looked at my
stitches and decided against it. I don't think he wanted to take me back to the hospital for a while.
As he stared at me I slowly drifted into a sleep, where I had a dream that awoke me.

In the dream, I was dressed in my uniform from the bar, and there stood Inuyasha. He was
staring at me. But the weird thing is is that he had a look in his eye, one that I had never
once seen in my life from him before. The look was full of love.

At first I thought that in my dream I was Kikyo, but as the dream progressed I realized,
no, I couldn't be Kikyo, because he was calling me by my name, Kagome. Through the dream we were
fighting, like in the bar, and then I turned to leave, he grabbed my arm and pulled me around,
staring into my eyes he pulled me close to him. As he pulled me close I forgot what the fight was
about, all I knew was that I hoped he would kiss me. He did, and the kiss was so passionate that
it awoke me from my sleep.

When I awoke I was covered in sweat. My hair sticking to my face and neck, my clothes clinging
to my body, showing every definite curve. I looked over at Inuyasha, and saw him staring at me.
He didn't realize I was awake, so I took the chance to see if what held in my dream, held in reality
as well.

I pretended that I was still asleep and pressed my body to his, gently, just a little body
contact. I could feel him getting uncomfortable, nervous at what I was doing. But as I pressed
my body to him a little bit more he relaxed, and wrapped his arm around me. I took the chance
to try a little game with him.

As I continued to pretend sleeping, I slowly raised my body up, so my face was an inch from
his own. Where I could feel his breathing on my cheek go ragged, almost double the speed when he
breathed again. He was getting excited, I could sense it. Well, I slowly, gently, moved my face
closer to his own, where my lips pressed gently against his own.

The reaction I got from him made me nervous, Inuyasha slowly kissed me, not with tongue, a
gentle bit of lip lock. He pulled away and licked his lips, like he could taste me. I got so
nervous from his reaction that I almost quit playing the game. But then I decided against that,
I wanted to do one more thing to him.

As he thought I was asleep, a little mumbling wouldn't make him suspicious, would it? There
was only one way to find out, to say something and see if I got a reaction from him.

"I love you, Inuyasha." I mumbled in a sleepy voice, that just was filled with sleep.

"I-I-I love you too, Kagome." I heard Inuyasha mumble.

What he said surprised me. But what surprised me even more was, that when I said
'I love you,' I actually meant it! I was falling in love with Inuyasha!
