Disclaimer: Do I own anything? Yes!!!!! :) I own Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippo & the *whole* IY world! *maniacally laughs as lightning

think I've said that before, but oh well ^-^\/

Ch.4: " Sweeping" is fun *wink wink*

" Yeah, you *sure* did wench . so, umm . not that I care or anything, but
umm . when you were *supposedly* sleeping, who were you talking about?" Kagome didn't know what to say for she didn't even remember . but just then
she had a lil' plan, she then put on a convincing/sarcastic voice.

" *I* don't know . maybe you." Inuyasha practically stopped breathing & that meant that Kagome's so called little plan was working. She knew he was hanging on her words & seemed to be waiting for her to say something else,
but she had already gone & diverted the pressure back to him.

" Okay, now it's your turn . so did you mean it when you called me . well
you know . & answer me this time." " Heh, . maybe I did." Inuyasha said playfully. " Really?" She said as she scooted closer to him who was half lying on the bed. & as usual he was oblivious to her until he felt a warmth on his right side. He blushed then pretended to be extremely interested in the ceiling. " & maybe, I um . err . didn't." He nervously squeaked out,
but she didn't hear him.

Kagome then reached towards the front of the bed. ' What's she doing?'
Inuyasha thought as he continued to burn a whole in the ceiling. Then suddenly, Kagome slung a pillow right on his face, & she couldn't help but
laugh. Inuyasha then grabbed the pillow off of his face. " So, ya think that's funny?" Kagome continued to giggle, telling him that it still was. " I'll show ya funny." Inuyasha said as Kagome shot out of her bed & tried to
escape, but it was no use.

" Gotcha . where you think *your* goin?" " Let go . Inuyasha!" She managed to say through giggles. " Oh no . your not goin *anywhere* . I've *still* got to get my revenge." He said as he held the evil pile of puff high over his head & made it appear like he was going to throw it hard. Kagome then
squealed & closed her eyes as the pillow came down & barely touched her
head.

" Ha, was that so bad ya big baby?" She just gave him a threatening glare. " Alright mister, you're getting it now!" With that Kagome got Inuyasha in
a headlock. " Ha, who's laughing now?" " You think yer so clever don't you?" " Why, yes I do." She said triumphantly. " Heh . well think again."
He said as he took a hold of her arms & removed them from his neck with
great ease.

" Hey! You can't do that . that's cheating." She whined " Well, I just did . *now* let me show you how it's done." Inuyasha then got up off of the bed & dragged Kagome with him. He then got her in a bear hug to wear her feet
were dangling over the floor.

" Looks like *I'm* winning now." Kagome squirmed around. " Hey . I can't . move." She then struggled more but to no avail. Inuyasha then loosened his grip & let her down. " Heh, looks like I've won." He said triumphantly. " Oh yeah . SIT!" With that Inuyasha crashed to the ground & Kagome came over
& sat on his back. " Ha . well it looks like *I've* won now!" When the spell finally wore off Inuyasha turned over to find Kagome now sitting on
his stomach in victory. " What are you doing?" He questioned her. "
Winning!" She exclaimed with glee.

" Fine, you win." He said sarcastically. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him. " What's that supposed to mean?" " It means you win . jeez, what do you want me to do spell it out for you." " Oh no, the Inuyasha I know wouldn't give up that easily." Inuyasha just laid there. " Well come on . do something." " I am doing something . I'm laying on the floor." Kagome then fell over
anime style.

" So ." Inuyasha said as he got up from the floor. " So you want me to do something huh." " Yep." Kagome nodded. " Like what?" " Hmm . you should umm
. sweep me off my feet & say something romantic, hehe." She said with
dramatic flare & little hand gestures while slightly giggling. Inuyasha
raised a brow at her.

" Come on Inuyasha, chop chop" She said while clapping her hands at the "chop chop" part. " So, I'm supposed to get a broom & sweep at your feet until their detached from your legs & *then* I'm supposed to say something
"romantic"." He said teasingly. Kagome then sweatdropped & gave him a glare. " Jeez wench, can't ya take a joke?" Kagome just sighed. " Hey, I was just kidding ya know, I'm not *that* stupid." " Don't give me that look Kagome ." ' Err . I can't look at her without feeling bad . she's good at that though.' " Awh, come here Kagome." He said while grabbing her wrist &
placing her in front of him.

" Okay, now how do I "sweep" you off your feet exactly?" " You mean you'll do it . yay!" " Ehh emm . now first you . uhh .umm . kinda, sorta . well
you go like this & ya know, it's kinda "whooshy", sort of." Kagome said while demonstrating it. " *Okay* . I *think* I get it." " Kay, you ready
now?" " I guess." He said from a few feet away. " Alright . go!"

With that Inuyasha took a step & then another shorter one. Kagome was getting excited & started to lightly giggle. Inuyasha then stretched out his arm & put it around her waist & did a little semi spin. Kagome kind of thought it was like dancing. He then leaned in slightly & stared into her
eyes. Kagome smiled & he couldn't help but do the same.

He pulled her closer to him & Kagome's heart raced during the process. She then put a hand to his face. " Kagome ." He started. Their eyes still lost
in each others. They then inched closer to where they could hear the melodic remedy of the other's breathing. Kagome then slightly tilted her
head & filled in the small space that was left between them. Their lips
were no more than a centimeter away when .

BOOM!!! The door suddenly got flung open by Souta. " Kagome, it's time to eat!" The sudden noise scared them enough that they fell over on top of each other. " Hehe . you two were . ki ." Souta stopped mid sentence as he put on an evil smile. Kagome blushed. " We were not!" " Then why are you
blushing?" " Because . I . umm. . " " ooh, wait till mom hears!" Souta
squealed as he ran downstairs.

Kagome still stared wide eyed at the door & yelled at Souta. " Souta! You
little . I'll get you, when you least expect it, I'll get you . mock my
words! Kagome then turned her head & blushed profusely when she saw
Inuyasha toppled over her.

Inuyasha was staring at the door & was trying to hear what they were saying downstairs . " Eh emm." Inuyasha swivled one ear around to hear the sound. Kagome giggled. ' Aww, I *love* his ears . they're so kawaii.' She thought as she continued to giggle but suddenly stopped when she remembered their
positions.

Inuyasha then turned to her. " What?" He asked. " Ehh emm." " Oh." He said just noticing as he got off of her & dusted himself off. " Well anyways, lets eat, it's food time." Inuyasha instantly perked up. " Food!" " Wait a
minute." Kagome said, having a little idea. " Uhh . " Inuyasha pouted & plopped on the floor. Kagome walked over to him. " We'll eat but I don't know if I can make it, my legs are oh so tired." She jokingly said as she
place the back of her hand to her forehead with dramatic fashion.

" I don't know Inuyasha . you might have to carry me . hehe." Inuyasha then sighed & knelt down for her to get on. "Oh it appears my noble steed has
arrived." She said as she hopped on his back. Inuyasha then stood up &
faced the doorway. Kagome then pointed forward. " To the kitchen!"

With that Inuyasha jogged down the hallway. He then came upon the stairs & jumped up on the banister & slid down it like a skateboard. They were now approaching so he slowed down, but not quite enough for he skidded on the tile & him & Kagome crash landed onto the kitchen floor, laughing the whole
time. But they were totally unaware that everyone was looking at them.

" Kagome . are you. alright?" Her mother asked. She & Inuyasha then got up
from the floor. " Yeah yeah, I'm fine." " What were you doing?" " Uhh .
coming to the kitchen, hehe." Souta then butted in. " Yeah Kagome, why don't you tell mom what *else* you & Inuyasha were doing earlier." He said
with a grin. Kagome blushed. " What were you doing Kagome?" Her mother asked. " They were making ." Kagome then covered her brother's mouth with
her hand.

" Well Kagome, what were you & Inuyasha making? . were you making . a pie!"
She exclaimed happily. " Yeah . that's it . we were making a pie!" " In your room." Souta managed to say through Kagome's hands. " In your room . how'd you do that?" Kagome was starting to get nervous. " Umm . we made . a
pillow pie!" Her mom gave her a puzzled look.

" Well . let's eat!" Kagome said trying to get off of the subject. " . Yes,
lets." Her mother said while handing her & Inuyasha a plate. Kagome sat across from Inuyasha, her mother & grandfather sat at the ends & Souta sat
next to Inuyasha.

They all then began to eat. Inuyasha & Kagome stared down at their plates & glanced up at each other every once in a while. A few minutes later Kagome
glanced back up again & saw that Inuyasha didn't exactly have the best table manners & giggled at how his cheeks how little smudges of soy sauce
on them.

Inuyasha just noticing quickly wiped his mouth off, but it was pretty much useless for he just got more on it. Kagome then went back to the miraculous ritual known as eating. & how they managed to not look at each other for
the rest of the meal . well, that's another mystery.

The so called mystery was slowly becoming easier to accomplish as the food
got more delicious every bite. Of course Inuyasha solved the mystery effortlessly & very quickly. However Kagome was still dusting fingerprints,
as she ate & tried hard not to glance over at the dog - eared "private
eye" & so it didn't seem too obvious.

Inuyasha's case was closed & so he got another one & began on it, & very
easily just like the first one finished it. As well as Kagome, Inuyasha fought the urge to glance at her. ' Awh, I can't help it' He thought as he
glanced at her. He then looked back down at his plate then back at her
again.

' Do dee doo de do.' Inuyasha hummed in his head as if someone could hear,
then he kind of slowly strolled his foot across the floor & it found a place right above Kagome's ankle. Kagome then blushed & giggled to herself
as she stroked Inuyasha's foot, giving him cold chills.

Kagome then attempted to eat as she picked up a few noodles with her fork & brought it to her mouth but suddenly stopped dead in her tracks & dropped
the fork, noodles & sauce spilling everywhere on her plate.

Kagome then began to giggle uncontrollably. " Hehehe! Not the foot! . Not
the foot!" She said in between giggles. Everyone then stared at her. "
What about you foot?" Her mother asked. " Umm . it was the cat!" " Oh." Everyone said as they continued eating & babbling about stuff, which Kagome & Inuyasha weren't listening to. Inuyasha then started scarfing down his
food, but to Kagome it looked more like he was inhaling it.

" Well, I'm finished . well those spell scrolls aren't going to stick
themselves." Kagome's grandpa said as he left the kitchen. " Well, I'm finished . well those video games aren't going to play themselves." Souta said mimicking his grandpa as he left the kitchen. " Well, I'm finished . those shows aren't going to watch themselves." Kagome's mom said giggling
as she left the kitchen as well.

" Well, I'm finished . those ." Inuyasha then got cut off by Kagome. " If I hear that " Well, I'm finished" mumbo jumbo *one* more time time I'll s'
you all the way to China. " heh heh, sorry . but you knew it was comin though." Kagome then got irritated. " Errr . SIT!" With that, Inuyasha came
crashing to the ground.

When the spell wore off, Inuyasha shot back up. " Ooh, yer gonna get it now." She then stuck her tongue out at him & tried to run away from him.
Inuyahsa chased after her into the living room & kept cutting off her escape routes. He then hid behind the couch & waited for her to get in just
the right spot. & then when she did, he jumped out & sat on her back he then grabbed her ever ticklish foot & locked it in place so she couldn't
escape.

Kagome's eyes then got big as she felt Inuyasha grab her ecursed foot. She then shot him warning glares. " Inuyasha . don't you dare!" He looked back at her with a fake innocent smile. " Hehe . what are you so worried about, I'm not gonna do anything." He said smirking evilly as he turned around &
put one clawed finger on her toe.

" No! Inuyasha not the foot . anything but the foot!" He then, what she
called it "attacked" her foot & put it through tickle torture. She then
laughed so hard she started crying. " Had enough?" " Yes!" She pleaded
through all of her giggling. He then rolled off next to her.

" Why'd you have to find my ticklish spot, why?" " Whoops." He said teasingly. " Don't worry Inuyasha, I'll find yours soon enough." She said
matter of factly. " Feh, yeah right." Inuyasha then got up & started to
walk away but then Kagome stopped him by tackling him to the ground.

" I'm telling ya, you're wastin yer time . I ain't ticklish." " Everyone's ticklish." " Not me." " Oh yeah . I bet it's your foot too!" She said as
she tried his foot. " Well?" " Nope . nothing."

Kagome was tired, she had already tried his foot, arm, stomach, ribs, face . nothing worked & she was about to give up when she just remembered she'
over looked a plac. ' His neck . I haven't tried that yet . maybe, just maybe it'll work.' Kagome thought to herself as a smirk formed on her face.

" See I told ya I wasn't ticklish." " Hey . what's so funny?" With that Kagome "attacked" his neck. Inuyasha then started to turn red because he was trying to hold his laughter in, but it didn't work too long as he busrt out into laughing fits. " Ha! I told you!" Kagome said through all of his
laughter. " Stop . stop!" He gasped out. With that Kagome seized her
vicious tickle attack.

" What did I tell you?" She said victoriously. " Feh." " Ooh & that's 2 Kagome & still zippo for Inuyasha. She said while counting her fingers. " Hey who's keeping score?" Kagome didn't bother listening because she was
having fun being right.

" Not ticklish, eh." " Yeah, well I'm not as bad as you." Inuyasha retorted, " May be . *but* I still won." She said in a sing song voice. "
Yeah, well, I'd cream you in a real fight." He said while playfully
punching her. " Oh yeah, well don't underestimate me." She said as she grabbed a hold of the two locks of hair that usually lay on his shoulders. She then picked up his hair & examined it." Inuyasha . I'm gonna wash your hair, it's dirty." " What!?" " No Kagome . it's fine." Inuyasha whined as
Kagome practically dragged him upstairs by his hair.

" Okay, were here." She said as she dropped his hair. " You finally done ripping my head off?" " Yep!" Inuyasha then fell over anime style. Kagome turned on the bathtub faucet & got out the shampoo, conditioner, & a cup. She then tested the temperature of the water. " Okay Inuyasha, it's ready."

Inuyasha raised a brow at her. " Don't give me that look . don't make me say the s' word . trust me you'll thank me when it's finished & when it is
it'll smell *so* yummy!" She said excitedly. " Yummy?" " What, are you
gonna eat my hair?" " Uhh . Inuyasha it's just an expression." Kagome sighed " Well I don't wanna get the only shirts I brought wet." He said as
he took off his shirts & laid them in the floor.

" Hurry up, lets just get this over with." Inuyasha said as Kagome flipped his hair over the edge of the tub & tried not to drool on him. She then got his hair wet & then picked up the shampoo bottle. " Time for shampoo!" " Sham - what?" " Poo." " But wouldn't that make it smell worse?" Inuyasha
teased. " Uhh!"

She then placed her hand on the back of his head as she poured the water
from the cup, causing him to slightly blush. Then she conditioned it &
rinsed it again, turned off the water & wrapped a towel around his wet hair. Inuyasha stood up. " Okay . you're done . now if you'll excuse me." He said as he started to slowly walk out of the bathroom, but got stopped
by Kagome who dragged him back in by his hair.

" Kay, now it's time to dry!" " Ugh . " He whined. Kagome then blow dried
it & combed it. " Now, don't you feel a whole lot better?" " * Sure*" Kagome, ignoring him went over & hugged his hair. " Aww, it's so fluffy . &
it smells so yummy." She said just about falling asleep in the now "yummied" hair. " Hey, are you done yet?" " Awh, why'd you have to ruin my
fun . fine, yes I'm done." She whined at him.

Inuyasha then started out of the bathroom. Kagome not wanting to leave the warm, fluffiful hair, ran back up to him & hugged it again. Inuyasha then started walking, while Kagome followed, still hugging his poor hair. " Hey
Kagome , are you gonna get my shirts?" " Hmm . *what* shirts?" She said
with a smirk that was hidden behind his "cotton candy" like hair.

Woo! ^0^ There's chappie 4 for(hehe) ya. & if ya don't get the cotton candy part . I don't mean his hair looks like cotton candy, just like, ya know . cotton candy is "fluffy" & "yummy"(ya know, how Kagome (& me ^0^ . I know .
