Chapter 11

Shishi: Kagome why did we have to leave so soon.

Kagome just blushed and once again was at a loss for words.

Namika: Shishi don't get into other people's love lives it's rude.

Kagome was shocked at her friend but didn't dare say a word.

For the rest of the ride home it was silent.

* * * Inuyasha refused to come inside the house. He sat in the tree opposite Kagome's bedroom window. He stared into space with a million things running wild in his mind.

Inuyasha: 'why did I come? I knew this would happen. I must be a really half-wit. But if that guy even looks at Kagome in the wrong way I'll slash his stupid eyes out.'

He was so deep in thought he didn't even notice that he was being rained on.

Shippou: Kagome what's wrong with Inuyasha he won't come in and he's soaking wet out there looking into the sky.

Kagome: Shippou will you go help Namika with dinner I need to have a word with him.

He assumed that he was going to 'sit' the crap out of Inuyasha so he obeyed without a doubt.

She looked out her window at the wet hanyou. She thought he was so cute like that. The only thing that ruined the moment was he had a great sadness in his eyes. The wind blew through his silver hair making it sway back and forth releasing tons of raindrops. She opened her window.

Kagome: Please come in you will catch a cold out there.

Inuyasha: No I won't. And if I do who are you to care. You are more likely to get one anyway. Wait, that must be what you want so Hojo will drool all over you again.

Kagome: I care because I'm your friend and I'm not the one out in the cold. Plus you have the clothes I bought you on and I want them back in here so they can dry.

He knew she was right. He was so angry he could have ripped them off and threw them at her but instead he jumped from his perch to her windowsill without hardly any effort.

Kagome: You can change in the bathroom. I have another pair of clothes in there for you.

He did as he was told though he wasn't going to give in that quickly. Once he was done he headed back to her room and sat on her bed awaiting her return. Little did he know she was still in there. She was changing in her closet. She also had no idea that he was near. She came out of the closet half dressed.

Kagome: Wh- what are you doing in here

He got one good look at her body then turned away.

Kagome: Wait I'm not done with you. Just stay like that till I get my clothes on.

She dressed and checked many times to see if he tried to sneak a peek at her again.

Kagome: OK you can turn around

When he did all he could do was stare. She looked so beautiful he could take his eyes off her. Then he snapped back reality. He remembered what had happened the first time that he did that. Of course that also made him think of Hojo and he made such a tight fist he began to bleed from his claws.

Kagome: What happened to your hand. (She ran over and held his hand very close to her)

Inuyasha: It's nothing just a cut.

Kagome: Don't say that, here I have a bandage on my dresser.

Inuyasha couldn't believe that she was so worried about a little cut like that. Suddenly he thought of when he was little and got cuts. He remembered how his mother would tend to wounds just like Kagome was.

Inuyasha: Where...where did you learn to do that?

Kagome: Learn to do what?

Inuyasha: Fix cuts. It's just...just like how my mother would do.

She looked at him. She felt bad that she had made him think of his mother. It must have been painful for him.

Kagome: I'm sorry to bring up such painful memories. I shouldn't have been so forceful.

Inuyasha: It's all right. She would mend my cuts like you did then kiss them and sing to me to calm me down.

Kagome got the picture that it might help him if she did the same as his mother would. She held his hand up to her lips and took in the scent from his arm then placed a sweet little kiss in the middle of the cut.

He smiled at her little act. He never thought she would kiss it. This made him wonder if she would sing as well.

Inuyasha: You didn't have to do that. (Very soft tone to his voice)

Kagome: I know but I wanted to. We better get down stairs. The others probably want to know where we are.

Inuyasha stopped her when she was going through the door.

Inuyasha: Kagome, thanks. (Small sweet smile on his face as he leaned in and gave her a short but sweet kiss on her lips)

She began to blush. She had no clue he was going to do that. It made her happy, but then again just being with him did that.

He smiled at her reaction. Then he walked with her downstairs to eat dinner.
