It was great, holding her in my arms... kissing her; I know it was only one little kiss, but to me it was like the whole world was going down, and now that I think about it... I PASSED OUT?!! I was going to kiss her and I passed out!!! Kuso!!

Inuyasha cracked one eye open to see where he was, and what he woke up to, gave him the biggest scare in his life... Everything in the room he was in was pink... PINK for kami's sake!!

Even with all that panic that he felt, Inuyasha could sniff a little and found Kagome's scent... It was her room. Really, man, what was he going to do with that girl and all that pink?!

Inuyasha tried to get up from the bed, but at the sudden move he started to felt dizzy, and still his vision was kind of blurry. "Damn it, who goes out at this hour of the night, in the middle of a storm?!" Before he could answer his rhetorical question, someone interrupted him.

"Only a jerk named Inuyasha would." Kagome entered the room. She placed a tray with food on the desk and sat by his side.

"What happened?" Inuyasha sat on the bed while looking at her.

"Nothing much" - She looked out the window - "I guess you just passed out. You know, being under a strong rain can make you do that."

"I see." He lay down once again on the bed. 'Maybe she doesn't want to talk about it.'

An uncomfortable silence was in the room. Inuyasha was looking at the wall, and Kagome kept staring out the window.

Both of them blushed, but neither of them had the courage to bring up the 'situation' that had happened a while ago.

"Mmm, I forgot to bring you the medicine. I'll be right back" Before he could stop her she was already out the door.

"Kuso... What the hell is wrong with me? I'm not the type who just sits around and does nothing."

"Here it is." The girl was fast in bringing the medicine upstairs, but he didn't say anything. Once again that silence was going to start.

(Here is going to be a little change in Kagome's bedroom, k?)

The desk was beside the bed facing the window. Kagome was filling the glass with water. The moment she put the glass down, Inuyasha grabbed her by the waist, sitting her on the bed.... well, on his lap. The blush spread all over her face and the bangs of her hair were covering her eyes.

"That's better" - Inuyasha had that smirk on his face. With his hand he moved her hair so he could see her eyes - "Kagome, look at me."

She did as he told her to.

Inuyasha saw something that he didn't expect to. Kagome had tears on the verge of coming out of her eyes, and the way she was looking at him...

"W-wha-what the hell? Kagome, why are you crying? Kagome, answer me!" She had started to cry more.

The only thing he could do was hug her. She responded by encircling her arms on his neck. While crying and sobbing, she whispered, "I thought you were going to die."

It seemed as if she hadn't spoken at all, but he had heard her well. She was crying for him, and he smiled. Don't think he is some kind of psycho, but thinking that she cared for him that much filled his heart with an incredible warmth that he never felt with someone... maybe with his mother, but this warmth was different.

When she looked up, he was smiling with soft tender golden eyes. "Hey! I'm crying here! Don't smile.."

"How can I not smile, when the person I love most in the world is crying for me?" He grinned at her blush.

"Jerk.. Sooo, what are we, or what are we going to do?"

"That's a simple question. You are my girl, and you are going to do as I tell you to." He held her more firmly as if confirming his point.

"What makes you think that?!!" Kagome struggled in his hold, trying to make him see that she was too strong to be told to do something.

"This." He put his hand under her chin raising her face to his lips, and let me tell you something, she didn't resist.

Was it minutes, hours, seconds that kiss lasted for? Time didn't pass by them. The only thing they could feel was each other. Nothing mattered anymore and for Inuyasha that was the best medicine he could ever have.

"You have a point there, boy." She smiled and hugged him.

He rested his head above her and listened to both heart beats. Life was good.

"Miroku, do you think Inuyasha is okay? I mean, Kagome said he had passed out." Sango was at the front door of Kagome's house.

"I think that by now he is fine, but still, Kagome said that she was alone and wanted some company."

Miroku bent down and moved a plant that was in front of the door. "Look, here is the key."

Before they could reach Kagome's room, both heard her crying. They listened to the talk their friends had and opened the door when nothing was making any noises.

Inuyasha and Kagome were asleep.

"Ya see, Inuyasha won the bet!" Miroku closed the door behind them and walked downstairs to the living room.

"What bet?" Sango followed him.

"One bet I made to help him with Kag."

"Oh, I see, want to assault the fridge?"

"Yeah, sure."

But what they didn't know was that Kagome wasn't asleep. She was just enjoying Inuyasha's hold on her, and at the mention of the word 'bet' she had cracked one eye open.

'Inuyasha made a bet about me?'

There was no emotion on her face. She closed her eyes once again. At least she was going to enjoy this moment. Tomorrow her 'boyfriend' was going to have serious problems.
