I'm worried. After the festival ended, Inuyasha left me at the shrine. My mother invited him to dinner and started to pet his ears, saying how cute they were... She thought they were real.

Anyway, he told her that it was already late and that his brother was waiting him. It was either just me or he sounded kind of angry with his brother... maybe the fight or something. But I'm sure he was upset about something. What was bothering him? I'll ask him tomorrow.

:: Knock Knock ::

It's one in the morning. Souta must be awake. "Come in."

Huh? It wasn't the door that I heard; it was the window.

"Open the damn window, wench! It's uncomfortable being like this, ya know!"

A very pissed off Inuyasha was outside my window on a branch. Well, he wasn't pissed off, but that's how he wanted to look...

"Inuyasha! What are you doing here?! For kami's sake, it's past midnight!" Shocked wasn't the right word to describe her emotions. It's like when something you don't expect happens, but you like it. It's like in an anime (sigh).

Inuyasha turned around trying to hide from her eyes. "Just let me in," he whispered.

"Okay." Kagome opened the window. "Now can you tell me why you are here?" Kagome should have known that curiosity killed the cat... but she didn't know, so that's fine.

"I wanted to talk." His eyes still refused to meet hers, and a tiny blush started to come to his cheeks.

"About?" Inuyasha wasn't going to talk if she didn't push. Kagome saw his odd behavior, and seeing him in her room with his black cargo pants and red shirt that fit him so well made her start to blush. 'Oh my god.'

'Now don't start with it.just a normal talk without a purpose.' He sat Indian style beside her bed. 'Yeah right, that's why I'm here at one in the morning.' "Did you have fun today?"

"Huh? Yes, yes, it was fun. But you came here just for that?"

'Damn this girl.' "No... You get along very well with Sesshoumaru." The whole time his eyes were closed.

"Well, yes, but we didn't talk too much," she said, blushing and remembering how he held her. And then Kagome did something she didn't want to...

She compared Inuyasha with Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru had been more seductive, more romantic, while Inuyasha was sweet, shy, and caring, but...

He stood up to face her. His eyes met hers, and his voice was harsh. "Yeah, I could see that you two weren't talking at all!" The whole time he tried to control his temper though this... He sighed. Who was he cheating? Patience wasn't one of Inuyasha's qualities.

"Stop yelling at me. Besides, it doesn't matter to you" - her eyes widened in surprise hearing each one of her own words, her voice getting lower as realization hit her - "and its none of your business."

"YOU ARE SO MUCH OF MY BUS-" 'business'-"Damn it... Good night, Kagome." He was on the edge of the window by now. (No, he WON'T commit suicide)

"Inuyasha, I.."

"Good night."

One hour passed, and Kagome couldn't sleep.

"Sure, good night. That jerk. After what happened, he thinks I'll get some sleep.."

Meanwhile, In Inuyasha's Room

'That baka, fluffy ... like, always wanting what's mine. I hate her!!'

'Aha, and what else?' Our little fellow Shippou came to scene.

'I'm not in the mood, Shippou...'

'Geez, you got it bad.' And for the first time, his conscience left him alone. Maybe it was because even Shippou didn't know what to do..

The next day ****

"Kagome, you're going to be late! HURRY!"

"Yes, mom" -she was running to the door- "Thanks, mom!" -she was grabbing the toast pan her mother gave her- "Bye, mom!" And she was out the door.

Halfway out the door is more right, because right when she was closing the door, she saw a silver Porsche with a Bishounen leaning on it waiting for her at the end of the stairs.

When she was in front of him..

"Want a ride to the school?"

"Yes. Thanks, Sesshoumaru." Both of them got in and headed for the school. All the time Inuyasha was on his skateboard watching them.

He was going to apologize to her when he got to the school. He was going to be at peace with her.. He was going to let her be... That was the decision he had made.

'Daijoubu ka' means 'are you ok?' Sorry but someone asked that and im very happy more that 250 reviwes!! I'm going for 300 thanks to everyone!!
