I guess the last chapter wasn't too bad. Inu-chan and Kagome-chan are getting a little more *ahem* friendly. This is definitely getting more OOC *sigh*, but how many IY/Kag fics do you know that aren't. I might include a LEMON in this fic but it definitely won't be this chapter. Some of you might be wondering if I had a set out story line, well stop wondering because I seriously don't I'm just sort of winging it, if you know what I mean. I have no idea what will happen next so don't even bother to ask. Ayumi and I decided to update whenever we feel like it, except the weekends on which we won't update at all. I try to type fast so the waits shouldn't be THAT long! Hope you enjoy this chapter, Ayumi is trying to get some sleep now so we can write the next one. Ja!

After their interruption neither of them knew what to do. Kagome broke the silence first.

She smiled at Inuyasha and started, "Inuyasha..," right before Inuyasha said, "Kagome..." They both blushed again only moments after their last one had disappeared.

"You first," Inuyasha stated. Kagome just shook her head. Inuyasha took in a deep breath and stood up, catching Kagome's eye from where she was sitting on her bed. She looked up at him as he walked in front of her and pulled her into a standing position. Kagome continued to look at him as he concentrated on holding her hands. She looked from him to her hands and back to him but couldn't figure out what was going on. Inuyasha let go of her hands and looked at Kagome. She had a puzzled expression on her face. He wanted more than anything to kiss her right then and there but that look was making him self-conscious.

"Kagome, I..," he said, trying to finish what he had wanted to say before but couldn't.

Kagome's face changed from a look of puzzlement to curiosity in a flash. He could smell her even in his human form, soft and reassuring. He pulled her into a hug. She hugged him back, soft and reassuring. He looked down and saw the smile on her lips, soft and reassuring. He pulled back a little to look at her better. She smiled at him and had a spark in her eyes, soft and reassuring. He gave in to his want and kissed her, softly at first until she reacted and then they went a little deeper, enjoying every moment. Inuyasha pulled from the kiss first, not sure if he could recover if he lost himself completely in her kiss. Kagome looked at him, breathing deeply and her face flushed from the length of the kiss. He grinned at her and she smiled back.

"Let's go downstairs," Kagome stated when she caught her breath. Inuyasha simply nodded. Kagome caught his left hand with her right and tugged him towards the door. They made their way down the stairs and Kagome looked at the things she had left behind. A wet spot on the floor marked where she had dropped the ice cube to chase after Inuyasha and the bowl of ramen was cold where it still sat on the end table. Buyo looked at her, demanding to be fed. Kagome sighed and let go of Inuyasha's hand.

She picked up the bowl of cold ramen and went to dump it in the kitchen. On her way back she grabbed a towel and dried the spot on the floor. She deposited the damp towel somewhere and went to feed Buyo.

Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders and sat on the couch. He began flipping through channels but there was nothing good on, it was almost 9:00. Kagome came back in with a huge fuzzy blanket wrapped around her shoulders, she had also changed into her pajamas. Seeing Inuyasha's obvious distress that nothing was on Kagome picked out a movie and put it in the VCR. Inuyasha stopped flipping through the channels to see how this new device worked. In a few seconds a picture came on the screen and Kagome cuddled up next to Inuyasha. They began watching the movie(A/N: Don't ask me what one because I have no idea, so there :P). Kagome shared her blanket with Inuyasha and he put his arm around her as she rested her head on his chest. Half way through the movie Inuyasha began to hear the deep, even breathing that told him Kagome was asleep. He shifted onto his back lengthwise across the couch to allow Kagome more room to stretch and she ended up practically on top of him. Inuyasha just smiled and watched the movie but soon he was asleep too.

Mrs. Higurashi, Sota, and Jii-chan walked up to the house silently. They hadn't expected to stay out so late, but they had so much to catch up on with their friends.

"Sota, you go straight to bed," Mrs. Higurashi told her son as she unlocked the front door.

"Hai, Mama," was Sota's sleepy reply.

"I think I'll do that myself," Jii-chan said and began his ritual of sticking his worthless o-fuda's all over the door to ward away demons for the night. Mrs. Higurashi rolled her eyes and waited for Jii-chan to finish.

Sota followed Jii-chan into the house and both went directly upstairs. Mrs. Higurashi followed after pulling off the o-fuda's that Jii-chan had stuck on the door and relocking it behind her. She walked into the living room to find the TV on. The TV had muted its self when the movie that had been in had finished and a fuzzy screen came on. She went to the TV to turn it off when she noticed the two figures lying on the couch. Kagome was asleep on Inuyasha who had his arms around her in a protective manner. Mrs. Higurashi decided to wake up Inuyasha first.

"Inuyasha..," she whispered to the human half-demon. If he had had the ears to twitch, they would have. Inuyasha peeked open one eye and saw a smiling Mrs. Higurashi from the light that the TV was giving off. He released his hold on Kagome to sit up and remembered what was holding him down. Kagome was still sound asleep on his chest, pinning him to the couch. She wasn't that heavy but Inuyasha didn't want to wake her up.

Mrs. Higurashi put a finger to her lips and signaled for him to pick her up. He did so and followed Mrs. Higurashi upstairs to Kagome's room. Mrs. Higurashi had laid back the covers to Kagome's bed and Inuyasha gently set her down and covered her up. He resisted the urge to kiss her goodnight, Mrs. Higurashi was standing by the door waiting for him. Kagome curled up in her sleep, looking for the heat source that just left her.

Inuyasha walked out of the room followed by Mrs. Higurashi who shut the door quietly behind her.

"Goodnight, Inuyasha," she said quietly.

"Goodnight, Higurashi-sama," he replied and both went in separate directions to their sleeping quarters.
