Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha, and all of the gang. I keep them in a little box in my room, and
force them to do my bidding. And if anyone with a legal interest in this stuff is reading this,
well, screw you. I own nothing, so there is nothing you can sue me for. Except a role of
cookie dough. Which I will not surrender without a fight.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who has reviewed. Only one person (that I can remember) wrote a
2K review for the last chapter, so that person will be mentioned by name.
Hugs to Ame Tenshi! (Yes, I couldn't resist. Jaken had to be skipped upon) I am glad you
like the fluffiness! I wouldn't be able to get through history class without fluffy fanfiction
to read while pretending to take notes on my laptop!
Also hugs to Emmi-chan, just because I got back my math test on Friday and my grade
sucked. So I wish he would come kill my math tests too.
On to the ficness!
"So you say that this "Valentine's Day" means that girls need to be fed more than usual?
Is there something about the day which makes human females require more energy?"
Yuki shook her head, closing her eyes in frustration at her friend's boyfriend's obtuseness.
"No, no, you have it all wrong! It isn't that she needs energy, its just customary to take the
other person out for a romantic meal."
"What is this human preoccupation with feeding each other?"
"Huh? Human? You aren't native to Japan, are you? Your vocabulary is kinda strange…
and your word choice…"
"Feh. Do you have a problem with the way I talk? Kagome doesn't mind." Inuyasha
fingered his…. Tetsusaiga… angrily. He hated it when people made fun of the way he
talked. Just because he wasn't a pretty boy like Sesshoumaru didn't mean he couldn't talk
good….
(Tiny Sesshoumaru angel appears above Inuyasha's head, invisible to everyone but him)
"Speak well! Not good! Moron! Baka! I didn't raise you to talk like that!"
"No! I'm sorry Sesshoumaru-sama! I'll never do it again! Please don't make me wear a
pink fluffy boa again!"
(Everyone stares at Inuyasha, who appears to be taking to thin air. Inuyasha shakes his
head, and the angel disappears)
"Anyway. Back to the point. Where was I? Ah, yes." Inuyasha cleared his throat. "Feh.
Do you have a problem with the way I speak?"
Yuki backed away nervously, eyebrow twitching. "Um… No. Of course not. What were we
talking about?"
"What about the chocolate? And the candies? What do they do? Is there a special reason
they are needed by Kagome on this day? Do they help her become more powerful?"
Inuyasha knew there were some special things in this time to make people stronger. Why,
when he had been watching the T-V the magics had shown a miraculous drink that made
you faster, stronger, and able to perform almost demonic acts, just by drinking it! Inuyasha
already wanted some of this "Power-aid," but if the chocolates made you even stronger….
"What?"
Inuyasha glanced up and realized he had lost the thread of the conversation. "Care about
what? Is something important happening?"
****************************
Inuyasha shook himself. He had tried to ask them what was wrong with Kagome,
but had had to eventually escape, diving into the river to escape their chatter. It had been
scary, very scary.
And he still had no clue what was wrong with her. They had said something about
flowers and food, but it hadn't made any sense. Kagome had plenty of food at home, it
wasn't like in his time when he sometimes had to hunt for her. And she had flowers
growing everywhere near her house, she could easily pick some if she wanted.
Unless… Was bringing food to someone a special ritual in this time? Were people
supposed to hunt for each other on Valentines day?
Inuyasha frowned. Kagome hadn't brought him anything that she had caught. But
she had fed him from her Re-Frig-ator. Was that the same as hunting?
He bit his lip. If he was going to bring her food, he might have to go back to his
time. He hadn't seen many large animals in Kagome's time.
What would she like best? He remembered she had enjoyed fish….
Suddenly a foul smell wafted underneath his nose. Something so horrible that it
could only be…
"Hi, Inuyasha!"
Arg! The smiley boy!
Houjo jogged up to Inuyasha, grinning insanely. Inuyasha readied his claws,
prepared to defend himself if the boy attacked.
"Hey, Inuyasha! I heard that you knew Kagome! Could you give these to her?" He
held out a beautiful wrapped box, with little pink hearts on it.
Inuyasha frowned, then something g in his brain clicked.
"Hey, smiley-boy! Are you supposed to give people you *like* *presents* on
Valentine's day?"
Houjo nodded, smiling inanely.
Inuyasha frowned a little harder.
"Does this mean *you* *like* Kagome?"
****************************************
Sesshoumaru sighed contentedly as Rin began on the next braid.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"Yes, Rin?"
"Can Rin add flowers?"
Sesshoumaru considered this for a moment. Normally he wouldn't allow anything other
than the most expensive hair products in his beautiful hair… but today was so pretty, he
wouldn't want to ruin it for Rin… He smiled indulgently.
"Of course, Rin."
She clapped her hands excitedly. "Don't move, Sesshy-sama! I will be right back!"
"Make sure they match my eyes!" Sesshoumaru called after her. He did, after all, have
standards to keep.
Then suddenly he froze in horror.
Sesshy-sama?!?!?!?!?!
"Kagome?"
"What is it Inuyasha?"
"Um…"
"What is it?"
"Well…"
"Yes?"
"… I brought these for you…"
"Oh, Inuyasha! They are amazing! Where did you find them?"
"Well, your scary friends said that today I was supposed to bring you something special,
something that girls really like, so…."
"You are so sweet, Inuyasha!" Impulsively, Kagome leaped from her seat and threw her
arms around Inuyasha, hugging him.
Inuyasha froze for an instant, unsure of what he should do in this kind of situation. Kikyou
would normally give him directions in these moments but he didn't feel that Kagome would
appreciate it if he needed to ask her… Then, ever so slowly, Inuyasha slid his arms around
Kagome's back and lifted her in the air, cradling her delicate human body carefully.
"Hey, do you want to go somewhere for lunch?"
Kagome raised her face in surprise. "Sure, Inuyasha. But do you know anywhere in this
time?"
"Well… I may have asked a person or two about where humans like to eat… or three….
Or four…." He frowned defensively. "I have money, don't worry!"
"Wow, Inuyasha! I didn't know you knew so many people from my time! That is really
sweet of you!" Kagome was really pleased Inuyasha was taking the time to find out about
her time. Maybe this was a new, kinder, gentler, Inuyasha!
"Hehe…." This was probably not the ideal time to tell her that he attacked and tortured a
fangirl to find the information. Anyways, she would recover… eventually.
Houjo on the other hand…
Humans really didn't need *both* legs, did they?
Kagome smiled, and tucked the brand new custom made arrows into her bag. Inuyasha was
so thoughtful.
"I found the perfect flowers, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin's cheerful voice piped out from
across the field.
"Good, Rin" Sesshoumaru frowned inwardly. He had been planning on yelling at her for
that ridiculous nickname. But now, she wasn't saying it anymore… Had he imagined it?
He had, after all, been sleepy from lying in the sun. Yes. That must have been it. No one had
said… *that* name. No one at all.
A/N: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that Sesshy. Just keep telling yourself that.
And Heather reviewed my fic! Yay! I love your work, Heather!
