Ah! Much better! I finished all my homework and I'm caught up in school. I've been sick lately, in case you were wondering. Even if I'm caught up in school, it doesn't mean my grades are perfect. I'm pretty close to failing right now. I guess I should also mention I'm a Sophmore in high school and taking a lot of "advanced" classes. *sigh* To be smart.

CRAZYBABYGIRL: Hmm, I forgot about Kouga….thanks for the idea!

Inuyasha Daw: You'll see! *wink* I currently have 4 chapter written and I'm working on the 5th.

I'm not the best writer in the world so don't flame me if you don't like my work, constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome.

Now why would someone hate your work? You have my help!

*cough*...*cough, cough*.....*HACK!!!*

Are you okay? What'd I say?...Are you making fun of me?

*cough*

Oh I see how you are! Well if you don't like me and all the hard work I put into helping you with you with your fiction...I...I might as well LEAVE! *stomps off*

Uh oh...I think I went too far this time...I think Ayumi-chan is PMS-ing...maybe I shouldn't have......AYUMI! Wait! Gomen! *runs after her favorite muse*

Ugh! Why is Kagome always doing this? 'Inuyasha, go put on these clothes, we're going somewhere.' You'd think she owned me! It didn't take long to get the shower running. I took a quick shower using the good-smelling-stuff in my hair like Kagome had shown me. As much as I hated to admit, her world has a lot of convenient things. The 'sham-poo', Kagome called it, gets my hair really clean, then a little bit of 'con-di-tion-er' makes my hair soft and shiny. No wonder Kagome smells so good! I took a whiff of the soap, it smelled like pretty flowers.

I proceeded to dry off and put on the weird clothes I always wear when I'm here. The pants were comfortable, like my usual red ones, but they were a weird blue material I didn't recognize. The shirt was red with a stripe towards the bottom. I didn't bother with the foot coverings. I think Kagome called them 'socks'? I still hadn't learned all the names Kagome had for all the things that were new to me.

I cleaned up my mess (and Kagome thinks I'm a messy slob, feh!), grabbed a hairbrush, and followed Kagome's scent to her bedroom. She had the door open so I just walked in. She was sitting at her desk reading some weird book.

I sat down on her bed and began getting the knots out of my still silver hair. "So..." Kagome jumped in her seat.

"Inuyasha! You keep sneaking up on me!" she said accusingly.

"No you just didn't hear me come in. So what are you doing, wench?"

"Inuyasha..," she said warningly, then changed to a more neutral tone, "I'm trying to catch up on some homework. I have to read Chapters 3 & 4 in my History book by Monday."

"Oh...what kind of history?"

She turned to look at me. She had a goofy smile on her face. "The Sengoku Jidai."

"Nani?! They have stuff written on that?"

"Yep, I spend a lot of time there but I don't actually know a lot of the history, so I'm actually kind of interested in it," and with that said she turned back around to continue reading.

"Hey Kagome..." I started to by saying. I was having a little trouble with this large knot in my hair.

"Hmm?"

"Could you help me for a second?"

She turned and look at me, she looked kind of surprised. "What's the matter?"

"I have a knot in my hair I can't get out. It hurts."

"Aww," Kagome said jokingly and giggled, "Does Inuyasha have a tender head?" She got up and sat behind me. I handed her the brush and showed her where the knot was.

"Right here?" she asked, giving my hair a little tug.

"Ow! Yes, be careful, I told you it hurts."

"Gomen," she whispered, "I didn't mean for it to hurt." She slowly started to work the knot out and it was soon undone, my hair was halfway dry.

"Arigato, Kagome. That didn't hurt at all."

"Your welcome," she said and continued brushing the rest of my hair. I didn't protest, it actually felt kind of nice. She even took care not to hurt my sensitive ears. She was done soon enough, how she managed to brush all my hair in such a short time without ripping out half of it was beyond me. She didn't stop with brushing my hair though, she set down the brush and ran her fingers through my hair. I shivered, it felt so good. Kagome must have felt my shiver because she kept doing it. My hair was dry and it slipped easily through her fingers.

"Kagome..." She froze as I turned to look at her. I had completely turned around and she still had a lock of my hair in her hand. "That feels good."

She looked at me and she sort of unfroze, smiled and let go of my hair. She reached up and scratched one of my ears. I couldn't help it, I let out a purr. I could tell Kagome was stifling a giggle, but I just took her other hand and placed it on my other ear. She started scratching right away.

I had my eyes closed from the second she started scratching my other ear. We just sat there for a while, her scratching my ears and my purr getting louder by the minute. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She had an enormous smile on her face, I leaned forward so she could reach my ears better, and I closed my eyes again. Complete bliss.

Kagome gasped. I opened my eyes again and she stopped scratching my ears. Kagome stared wide eyed at the clock next to her bed. "I better get ready or we'll be late! We're meeting my girlfriends in an hour." She got up and gathered a bunch of stuff in her arms. "I'm taking a bath, so no peeking on me, got it?"

I just stared at her and she left. I groaned as what she said finally sank in. We're meeting her friends...they are so noisy, it hurts my ears even when I'm human. Why me? I got up and took a look at the book Kagome had been reading. It was really thick. There were a few words on the front I didn't understand so I opened it up and began leafing through the pages. 'Chapter 1...' I sat back down on Kagome's bed and began reading the book. It was interesting.

I had been reading for quite a while, so far I had gotten past the Sengoku Jidai section and was reading Chapter 5. Kagome walked into the room and sat at her desk. I looked up and she had an amused expression on her face. "Do you like it Inuyasha?"

"It's interesting," I said flatly, hiding my emotions again after the purring episode.

"Okay," she said simply, she looked at me sideways, "You really don't want to go out with me and my friends do you?"

Since I was surprised I didn't show it. Kagome's concerned about me? "No, not really"

"Good," she said getting up, "Because neither do I." Now I was really surprised, Kagome didn't want to go out with her friends when she had an extra night in her time?

"Would you like some ramen, Inuyasha? I'm going downstairs to get something to eat." She got up and walked out.

After the shock wore off I got up to follow Kagome. What's with her today? She keeps surprising me. Mmmm, ramen. As I was walking down the hall my body slipped into a human form.
