Chapter 3 Kagome: You want to see my time? What is all the sudden interest about, and don't tell me you want to keep me away from Hojo.

She teased then wondered what his real reason was anyway.

He turned dark red when she asked. He knew if he told the truth that she would be furious so he casually said,

Inuyasha: I'm just curious about what you enjoy so much.

That didn't come out quite as well as he wanted, but chose to go along with it hoping she wouldn't get curious about it. Luckily she just smiled at him. * * * When everyone went to sleep Inuyasha was still awake. He couldn't stop thinking about what her world must have been like. He had heard stories of it but it still made no senses to him. He quietly jumped from the tree he was perched on and went in the hut to check on Kagome. He was careful not to wake her or else he would be face down on the ground once again.

Kagome: (in her sleep) Inuyasha...why do you.... hate.... me so much.... I can tell.... It's a lie.

Then she settled off into a silent sleep.

He gazed at her in total shock. He wasn't sure what was more of a surprise, that she thought he hated her or that she knew he was faking it. He came closer taking in her scent that he enjoyed so much but never told her so. Instead he could claim she smell horrible and say he couldn't stand it. But it was all a lie. He once admitted this when he was human and injured by the spider-heads. He wasn't sure whether or not she believed him since he was too weak to tell.

Myouga: Lord Inuyasha what are you doing still awake? Is there something wrong, do we need to wake Lady Kagome?

Myouga perched on Inuyasha's shoulder awaiting a response to either one of his questions

Inuyasha: Look flea if there was trouble why would you still be here, besides I was just uhh...

He didn't want to reveal his real reason and sound like a weakling who loved humans so he just stomped out of the hut and back into a tree.

Myouga looked at him with a very disappointed face then climbed down the tree and went back to sleeping on Shippou's ear. He knew very well that his master was lying as he often did but he just decided to let it go for now. * * *
