My personal thank you's:

Sanosuke Sagura: Thanks for telling me about the OOC part. BUT! Inuyasha will probably become even stupider than he is now. Oh well!

Inuyasha woke up early the next morning to the delicious smell of cooking ramen. He inhaled deeply, almost falling out of the tree with the intoxicating smell of the food and the girl who was cooking it. He stared down at Kagome's smiling face and listened to the sound of her soft humming as she stirred the pot of noodles. He smirked to himself and prepared to fulfill his promise he made to himself last night.

'I gotta make it up to Kagome.'

He leaped out of his tree and landed silently next to Kagome. He knelt down beside her and tapped her on the shoulder nervously; afraid she might not want to see him after what happened last night. Kagome jumped at the feeling of a hand on her shoulder. She slowly turned around and sighed loudly at the hanyou behind her.

"Gosh, Inuyasha, you scared me," she breathed heavily.

"Sorry," he said.

'Nani?! Did he just say sorry?' Kagome lifted her hand and placed it lightly on Inuyasha's head, checking for a fever. Her actions thoroughly succeeded in pissing him off.

"What are you doing?" he asked with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"You said sorry. I thought you might be sick or something."

"Feh," he shrugged. "Can't a guy be nice once in a while?" He turned away from her and prepared to stand up. Kagome gasped. 'Him? Nice? Don't make me laugh.' She grabbed a piece of his hair and pulled him back to her. She eyed him dangerously and checked him for a fever again.

"Alright, spit it out. Who are you and what have you done with Inuyasha?"

"Damn it, Kagome! Why do I even bother?" he yelled while prying her fingers from his hair.

"Oh, just shut up and eat your ramen," she shouted back while shoving a bowl of instant noodles in his face. He took the bowl graciously and began eating. He set the bowl down next to her seconds later and stood up.

"Thanks Kagome."

"No problem. Now give Inuyasha back," she joked.

"Ah, shut up."

An hour had passed since then until everyone was ready to go. Sango still delivered death glares to Inuyasha whenever they made eye contact. Miroku simply refused to look at him and Shippou was too busy playing in Kagome's backpack to even care. A few times during their journey, Inuyasha would glance behind him to look at Kagome. She seemed normal, still happy as ever. Inuyasha smiled to himself. 'At least I don't have to worry about her being mad at me.'

"Oi, Kagome, do you sense any shards today?" he asked.

"No, not.." she tried to say, but froze. The familiar tingling coursed throughout her body as a jewel shard approached the group. "Scratch that," she sighed. "I sense three, coming at an incredible speed."

Inuyasha groaned and unsheathed Tetsusaiga as everyone's favorite wolf demon came into view. Kouga slid to a halt directly in front of Kagome. He grabbed her tiny hands and brought her closer to him. "Good afternoon, Kagome!"

Kagome sweat dropped. "Umm," she said nervously, knowing the fight that was about to come. "Hello Kouga-kun."

The proud wolf demon turned to Inuyasha with a lopsided grin on his face. "Oi, Inu-koro, hear that? Kouga-KUN."

Inuyasha faced the transformed Tetsusaiga at Kouga. "Get away from her, NOW." he growled.

"What's wrong, puppy? Afraid MY woman doesn't like you? Poor, poor, puppy," he laughed. He moved his grip on Kagome's hand and moved them down to her waist, holding her in a tight embrace. Kagome flushed wildly, making Inuyasha even madder.

"LET HER GO BEFORE I HACK YOUR STUPID HEAD OFF!" he screamed. He raised his sword over his head and prepared to bring it over Kouga's head.

"Ah! Inuyasha, sit boy!" Kagome screamed. She flinched when she saw Inuyasha's face meet the dirt. Kouga laughed at loud at the hanyou's misfortune and tightened his grasp on Kagome's tiny frame.

"Umm, Kouga?" she said quietly.

"Yes, Kagome?"

"Let me go!" Kagome pushed herself away from Kouga and ran to Inuyasha's motionless body. "Inuyasha? Are you okay?" Inuyasha just lie prostrate on ground, mumbling to the dirt. "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha brought his head up from the ground and rested on his chin. He gave Kagome an annoyed look and muttered: "Just go away."

"What?"

"Just go!"

"Hey, Kouga, would you mind leaving now?" she asked politely.

"No way Kagome!" Kouga yelled rudely. "I'm not leaving you this time!"

"Please?" she said sweetly, throwing in a dazzling smile.

"Fine. Listen up, Inu-koro, if you hurt her in ANY way while I'm gone, I'll shred you to pieces and feed them to my wolves."

"I'm shaking all ready," Inuyasha said sarcastically.

"I'm serious, Inuyasha, don't you touch her."

"Kouga, just leave now, okay?" Kagome said with a hint of irritation in her voice.

Kouga ran off in an instant, stirring up dust from his massive hurricane. Inuyasha sat up and looked at Kagome angrily.

"Why do you always let him go?"

Kagome sighed sadly. "He's my friend, Inuyasha. Don't you get it yet?"

"Look, didn't I tell you to leave already?" he said nastily.

"Yes, but-I"

"Then why don't you take a hint and leave?"

"Inuyasha! What the hell is wrong with you?! First you drag me back here to the Feudal Era every time I go home and now you WANT me to leave?" she screamed. "I just don't get you!" she stood up and began to stomp away angrily.

"Now where are you going?!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Why do you care? Didn't you just tell me to leave?" Kagome continued walking off (to God knows where). Sango gave Inuyasha a death glare and ran after her friend, along with Shippou. Miroku sighed and knelt down by the fuming hanyou.

"Inuyasha, you have MUCH to learn about women," he said calmly.

"Oh sure, like a lecherous monk could solve all my problems."

"Hey," he scoffed. "At least I know how to TALK to a woman."

"Oh Gods! Not this! First I'm verbally beat up by Sango and now YOU'RE gonna preach to me?! What is this, harass Inuyasha week?! Damn, you guys piss me off!"

"Calm down, Inuyasha. I won't lecture you, I promise. But I will say this: You better learn how to treat Kagome before she learns how to treat you."

"What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?"

Miroku sighed impatiently. "It means you better learn to treat her like she does you before she starts to treat you like her treat you."

"What?!" he said, still confused.

"Learn to be nice to her, you baka!" Miroku yelled. He took a deep breath and counted to ten very slowly before casually walking off to find the rest of the group.

Inuyasha just remained siting on the ground. He sighed heavily to himself. "Well, here I am, feeling like a jackass, again. I've been orally injured, again; and if I do one more 'bad' thing, I'll have to face the wrath of Sango, AGAIN! Is there anyway to stop this?!"

'Yeah, you could go apologize to Kagome before you meet your early demise. Think about it,' said a mysterious voice in his head, otherwise known as his conscience. 'Sango plus an oversized boomerang equals your doom.' Inuyasha gulped and shivered at the thought of an angry Sango WITH her boomerang.

"Okay. Now I REALLY need to make it up to Kagome."

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

Don't stop reviewing! You guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
