I don't own Inuyasha, cry me a river.

Oh and Fairylark-Kagome was walking to the kitchen to make the Ramen but Inuyasha came in and they made up
without it. As to how to fall asleep in Inuyashas arms... I gues that Fire rat kimino is really soft :).

Kagome opened her eyes. 'Where am I?' She looked around relizing she was in her room. 'How'd I get here?'
Kagome thought back to the last thing she could remember. She relized she had fallen asleep in Inuyasha's
arms and he must have carried her up stairs. 'He really is sweet when noone is looking.' She got out of
bed and went into the bathroom. After a long bath she came out and began to get ready for the day.

She dressed in her clothes a choice. A Yellow dress with sunflowers on it that hung just past her knees.
She then brushed her hair and debated tieing it up in a ponytail. She finally decided to leave it as always.
Kagome decided that makeup was out. Inuyasha would probably ask her if she was sick if she even put on a little
and she didn't want to explain makeup to the hanyou today. Kagome didn't wear high-heals becuase Inuyasha had
snapped the backs off all of them (so thats why he wasn't mad) after she had walked on him with them on.

'This is so great. No more dates with Hojo pretending it was Inuyasha sitting there instead.' Kagome recalled
her little dream in the bath tub of Inuyasha as a gentlemen. She made her way down stairs into the kitchen her
mind still filled with a romantic Inuyasha. Then she saw Inuyasha with noodles hanging out of his mouth as he
devoured ramen. 'Romantic .....Riiiight.' She smiled. "Good morning Inuyasha." Inuyasha finished of the ramen
and looked at her.

'She looks prettier than usual.' He thought. The smart part of Inuyasha told him it would do him well to tell
her so, but all the stuborn hanyou got out was. "You should wear that instead of your school uniform when you
come to my time." Kagome, who had moved on to the cubbourd paused. 'Did Inuyasha just give me a compliment?'
"Why?" she teased still looking at the the cubbourd to hide her blush. Inuyasha blushed slightly. 'Darn it
why'd she have to go and ask that.' "Becuase it looks nice." he blurted out and felt his blush deepen.

Kagome was glowing red, not that Inuyasha could see. She reached in and grabbed the bread. "And that perverted
monk wouldn't grope you as much if you didn't wear things so revealing." Inuyasha added hastily trying to make
the compliment a little less obvious. But the 'damage' had already been done. Neither talked as Kagome prepared
several sandwiches and Inuyasha watched. "Oi, Kagome what are you doing?" Kagome finished the sandwhich she
was on and started another. "Getting ready for our date today. Remember?"

"Why are you making those?" he prodded. 'I wanted to keep this all a surprise, but oh well.' Kagome looked over
at Inuyasha stopping her sandwich making and looked over at Inuyasha. "Well, we are going on a picnic." Inuyasha
looked at her. "What's a pick nick?" Kagome went back to her preperations. "It's where we go and eat somewhere
just you and me." Kagome waited for Inuyasha to declare he didn't want to go on a pick nick, but it never came.
Finishing her sandwiches, she started making the other food for the picnic.

'There has to be more than that. Eating doesn't seem like a good way to get to know eachother. Except to find out
what you like to eat. And Kagome already knows what I like to eat.' "Is all you do is eat on a pick nick?" Kagome
blushed again as a vision of Inuyasha laying his head in her lap while she fed him came to mind. "No, you talk
and ... stuff." Other visions of Inuyasha and her came to mind and her blush deapened. 'No more romance mangas
for you Kagome.'

Inuyasha decided not to probe further since Kagome would tell him if he needed to know anything else later.
To get her mind to stop showing images of her and Inuyasha in various romantic scenes she continued to talk.
"Of course that'll be later. First I was thinking we could go back to the Warring States Period for a couple
hours. Then we'd have the picnic there. Once we're done I want to take you to." She stopped realising that
she had nearly spilled the beans on her surprise. (A/N AHAHAHAH You think I'd tell you so soon? Ahahah)

"Go where?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome finished putting all the food into containers and began putting them in
the picnic basket her mother kept in the cubburd. (How do you spell cubbourd?) "Its a secret." Inuyasha
folded his arms and scowled (aka pouting mode). "Feh, fine." Kagome put the now full picnic basket in
the refrigerator. She then got herself a bowl of rice and warmed it up in the microwave. "Don't get upset
Inuyasha. I want to surprise you." Inuyasha stopped scowling and got up leaving his empty bowl behind.
"All right. Tell me when your ready." He then proceeded back to Sota's room leaving Kagome alone.

After the microwave dinged Kagome quickly ate her rice being careful not to spill any on her dress. She looked
up at the clock on the wall. 9:29. When she finished he put her's and Inuyasha's bowls in the sink and
smoothed her dress out. Inuyasha appeared at the kitchen doorway with the Tetsuigia at his side. 'Oh. I
guess he wasn't upset after all. He just went to get his sword so he could protect me.' That thought brought
a little thrill to her, even though Inuyasha was always protecting her. She gave him her most charming smile.
"Ready to go?" He nodded and walked towards the door. She walked quickly to catch up.

Seeing that she wasn't going to, Inuyasha opened the door. He stepped out and held it long enough to let her
get through before letting go. He noticed she was blushing slightly. "Thank you." she mumbled. 'I'll never
understand women.'

As soon as Inuyasha held the door open for her the visions came back. A particularly vivid one consisted of
the two of them holding hands as they walked through a park. 'He didn't mean it that way, he just didn't
want to slam it in my face.' But the visions did not leave. Thankfully the well door was ajar and they walked
in. Kagome stopped at the well and Inuyasha did to. The vision of them holding hands was back. She couldn't help
herself. Kagome quickly grabbed his hand. Inuyasha looked at her, but her face was turned away to hide another
blush. 'Nope. I'll never understand.'

He didn't try to free his hand, and the two of them jumped down the well together.
*****************************************************************************************************************

Kagome and Inuyasha appeared on the other side of the well. Kagome started to climb up the well, but Inuyasha
picked her up and set her over his shoulder and jumped out. "Kagome, Inuyasha welcome back." It was Miroku,
leaning against a tree. Sango and Shippo where standing next to him. "Hi guys. Don't tell me you've been
waiting for me here." Sango smiled. "Of course not we just got here when Shippo smelt you." With that the
little Kitsune bounded into Kagome's arms.

"KAGGOMMMEE! Inuyasha beat me up before he left!" wailed the little boy. "Then he tied me up into a tree!"
Kagome shot Inuyasha a glare who simply crossed his arms and grinned smugly. "Did he now?" The kitsune
nodded making sure his eyes were all teary. 'This'll teach you Inuyasha!'. "Well Shippo, I think you deserved
it." "WHAT!" Both Inuyasha and Shippo shouted. Kagome nodded. "You mean you're not going to sit him?" Kagome
shook her head. Inuyasha's grin got larger.

"Inuyasha brain washed Kagome!!" Wailed Shippo. Kagome patted him on the head and walked towards Sango.
Miroku mearly watched as Kagome passed him. His hand reached out to give her rear an affectionate grope
when a strong hand grabbed the monks arm. Miroku looked up to see the owner of the hand to be none other
than Inuyasha. Remaining his cool self the perverted priest said. "My apologies Inuyasha. I didn't mean
for my hand to obstruct your view." Miroku was satisfied to see the hanyou blush but his satisfaction
soon became pain as an ungodly sized boomerang reached his skull. *Whack*

"Inuyasha. You watch after Miroku while Sango and me have a 'Girl Talk'." Inuyasha nodded and
glared at the dazed monk as he cracked his knuckles. The two girls ran off whispering and giggling about
undoubtedly him. 'Let them talk.' If Kagome wanted to spread the word that she was his the that was fine
with him. Miroku sat up from his ko'ed position on the ground and crossed his legs. "Tell me Inuyasha."
Miroku asked him in all seriousness. "Have you asked Kagome to bare you an heir?" *Whack* another bump
was added to our favorite priests skull. "Can you not be a pervert for one minute!" snapped the hanyou
you had a slight blush on his face. "Ill be going now." Said Shippo eager to get away before Inuyasha
noticed him. "Go ahead. Just don't bother the girls." Shippo bounded off.

"Ill take that as a no." Miroku folded his arms. "You definately need my help if you are going to continue
a relationship with Lady Kagome." Inuyasha looked like he was going to hit the priest again. "Even if I was
courting Kagome, why would I want help from a blasted pervert who gropes every woman he meets?!" Miroku
closed his eyes and his face looked like it did when he was about to say something very important or wise.
"A noisy fisherman will still tell a novice fisherman that the best way to catch a fish is to be silent."

"I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT KAGOME NOT FISH!" A vein popped up on Miroku's head. "I'M TRYING TO SAY
JUST BECUASE IM A PERVERT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T GIVE GOOD ADVICE. DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO!" "Oh. Why didn't
say that in the first place?" Miroku sighed and closed his eyes.'There is no anger, there is peace.' He
repeated this until most of his annoyance with the hanyou was gone. He picked up his staff and stood up. He
cleared his throat.

"All right. Lesson number one." Miroku brought his staff down apon the head of the hanyou. *WHACK* Inuyasha
grabbed his head muttering curses.

"Less insults, more compliments." Miroku said firmly. "Keh" *WHACK* "I bet you didn't even compliment her
on her dress." Rubbing his head Inuyasha smirked. "Shows what you know monk. I did compliment her on her
dress." Miroku looked surprised. Then he smiled. "Perhaps there is hope for you yet." "Whats that supposed
to mean!" Ignoring him Miroku continued. "Lesson number two." *WHACK*. "Don't eat like a pig. It's impolite.
Eat slowly and talk only after you swallow. Get to know Kagome while you eat. It's a good time to converse.
The longer you take to eat, the more you get to talk to her." That made alot of sense to Inuyasha. 'No wonder
everyone in her time takes forever to eat.' "Lesson number three." *WHACK*

"NEVER *WHACK* I MEAN NEVER compare her to Kikyo and tell her she's inferior." "I think your doing this as an
a excuse to hit me." Miroku smirked. "Lesson number four." Miroku tried to bring his staff down on Inuyasha's
head, but he caught it. Miroku released the staff. "Pick her some flowers." Inuyasha looked confused. "Why."
Miroku grinned and winked at Inuyasha. "Women absolutely love flowers. Especially when you pick them yourself.
Its good to pick flowers for a girl when you take her out on a date." Inuyasha blinked. 'Am I the only one
who didn't know what a date was?' "Now when are you going to go on a date with her." "Today. We just came
to see you for a while till lunch then we are going on a picnic." "Ahh good. I suggest you pick her some

flowers. By the way whats a picnic? That might be useful with Sango so tell me about it." Inuyasha grinned evily.
He cleared his throat. "Lesson number one." *WHAAAACKK!!*

*************************************************************************************************************

Kagome and Sango were at the best place around to have a girl talk. The hot springs. "So tell me what's
happened so far. Has he kissed you?" asked an excited Sango. Kagome blushed. "Not yet" she said blushing.
"Do you want to kiss him?" Kagome's blush got redder. "Yes." "THEN WHY HAVENT YOU!" Sango shouted. Kagome
nearly feel over. "Becuase he hasn't tried." Sango sighed. "You are both hopeless you know that?"
Kagome looked over at Sango. "What do you mean?" "Nothing nevermind. Take my advice. The next time he
does something sweet, if ever, kiss him. Even if its only on the cheek. He's too stubburn to kiss you first."
'And he's as dense to your feelings for him and you are to his feelings for you.' She added silently.

With that said, the two girls chatted about various things, and Kagome explained a picninc to Sango. (Without
a staff) After a while the girls decided to make sure Miroku and Shippo weren't dead, and headed back to
Kaede's.

*************************************************************************************************************

"Ok. When you leave make sure you give her the flowers at the picnic." Inuyasha keh'd, but patted his Kimino
to make sure the flowers where still there. Eventually Sango and Kagome arrived at Kaede's hut. "Remember to kiss
him if he's nice." Whispered Sango. Kagome blushed but nodded. Kagome went in and Inuyasha followed.

"Good morning Kaede." Kagome said. The old woman smiled knowingly at Kagome and the hanyou
as he stood right next to her protectively. 'You'll make a fine husband someday Inuyasha.' "Ahh good day to ye
both. Have you been enjoying your time off from shard hunting?" Kagome put her hand on the back of her head.
"Now that my school works done I will." Kaede nodded sagely. "Then I won't be keeping you. I'm sure you have
plans and things have been nice and quiet around here.

Kagome nodded silently thanking the old woman for not keeping her any longer from her date with Inuyasha. "Ill
come visit soon. Tell Shippo I said bye!" With that the two exited heading for the well. As soon as Inuyasha
was to far away to hear Kaede asked. "Did you two do your parts?" Sango and Miroku nodded. "Good. We'll get
those two together yet."

There you go! I was planning to get to the picnic today but I guess you'll have to wait. In the next two chapters
Kagome's secret will be revealed and so will the secret of the school fire! (well maybe in three chapters :) ).

PLEASE R&R!
