Chapter 4
Later that night in Kagome's room.
"Any ideas on how to get rid of my dear brother," Inuyasha asked Kagome from his spot on her bed.
Kagome loomed over one of her schoolbooks at her desk. "Not one. Do you think you can defeat him or should we just trap him somehow. No....that won't work, all traps have a way out...somehow. I'll stop in at the library tomorrow and see if I can find some kind of magic that we can use on him." Kagome continued to do her papers for her finals.
"I would just as soon kill him."
"I know you would, but we need a back up plan, so I'll check anyway."
"KEH, fine!" Inuyasha laid down and watched Kagome study for awhile.
"By the way, about what Kaede mentioned earlier, was it true?" Kagome's only answers were the long even breaths behind her. Kagome turned in her chair to find that Inuyasha had fallen asleep. 'I love watching him sleep, which isn't often. He's always so peaceful. Poor guy, he must really be tired.....Now where will I sleep.' Kagome looked around the room, Inuyasha was laying on the only covers she had. 'Hmmmm.....do I dare?' Kagome stood up and walked into her closet and changed. She then returned to the side of the bed and stared down at the sleeping hanyou. 'I'm eighteen now. I shouldn't be afraid of sleeping next to a guy, especially a guy that's been my friend for the past three years, plus I have strong feelings for him so it should be ok.' Kagome turned out the light and climbed into bed. A moment later two arms snaked around her waist and pulled her closer.
"Kago....me...." Inuyasha whispered her name in his sleep and instinctively pulled her closer against him.
'He's still asleep! Good!' Kagome shut her eyes and let her other heightened senses go to work. She could hear his heartbeat and steady breathing in her new dog-ears. His scent drifted to her nose where it stayed. 'I'm really liking his smell.' "Goodnight, Inu-chan."

Kagome stood in front of the mirror fixing a ribbon in her hair. It managed to hide her ears fairly well. Her eyes, claws, and fangs no one would probably notice, but the ears were another matter. After securing the ribbon she turned to see Inuyasha still sleeping. 'GEEZ, he's either really tired or just lazy. I'll just let him sleep. It'll be easier for me to get out of here.' Kagome leaned down and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek and then quietly left the room.
"Did she just..........no I must still be dreaming."

"So Kagome.... what are you gonna do after school ends?" questioned her friend Yuka.
"I'm not sure yet. What do you plan on doing?" Kagome repeated the question to her friend.
"Well I was thinking of traveling or maybe go to college. Hey Kagome, what's the deal with the jealous two-timer?" inquired Yuka.
"Ya and since when do you wear a ribbon?" her other friend Ayumi chimed in.
"Um.....well.....we've gotten closer, and that other girl is no longer around, but.....but...." Kagome struggled to find words, thank goodness for interruptions.
"Hey Kagome" a voice shouted over the school yard.
Kagome spun around to see Hojo running towards her. 'Oh no, not Hojo, not now.'
Hojo came to a stop about 3 feet in front of her. "Hello Kagome, you look like your feeling well."
Kagome nodded, not knowing what word to use.
"Um Kagome, I was wondering, since school ends this week, maybe we could get together for another date." Hojo looked at her with pleading eyes.
"I....uh....don't think...." Her eye contact was ended when a mass of red and silver stood in front of her. "Inuyasha?"
"Wha......who are you?" Hojo asked while trying to look at Kagome.
"Kagome is mine, you can't have her."
"You're.....you're her.....boyfriend?" Hojo stumbled over the words.
"Ya, so," Inuyasha stated bluntly.
"WHAT?" both Kagome and her friends said in unison. Kagome stared at him in shock. 'Did he just claim to be my boyfriend?'
"So this is the boyfriend." The girls flocked around Inuyasha, touching his clothes, his hair, and his ears. "God Kagome you've got taste. What a hunk!" They continued to swoon over him as he walked up to Kagome.
"Did you find out anything?" Inuyasha was trying his hardest to ignore the high school girls that were Kagome's friends. 'Why is she so flustered, did I say something.' Inuyasha stared down at her, awaiting a reply.
"No, not yet." Kagome glanced at Inuyasha then at her friends. 'Did he mean it? I'll have to ask him about it later.' "But I still have a week to look." She averted her eyes as she blushed furiously 'I hope he meant it.'
"Hey....earth to Kagome? Are you gonna introduce us to your boyfriend or not?" Eri inquired while trying to get her attention.
"Uh, um, everyone this is Inuyasha."
