A/N: Sigh, I know that most of you people are ready to kill me right now, but let me just tel you that it isn't all my fault. (Sort of) Right now I am grounded and I don't know when I will be able to get online again. That said, this will be a very short chapter and I hope that I can update at school, but other then that, I don't know when new chapters will be added.

The Other Side of the Mirror

Chapter 18

Inu-Yasha was holding Kagome's hand. It was soft and gentile. He didn't *have* to touch her to keep the pain away, but he wanted to anyway. It gave him the comfort that he needed.

"Inu-Yasha?" Kagome asked softly.

He loved her voice, it was filled with so much trust, "Yes?"

"I'm hungry, can we get something to eat?"

He smiled, "You're always hungry!"

She laughed, oh, it made him feel so good when she laughed! "No! *He's* always hungry!" She corrected, placing a hand on her stomach.

Inu-Yasha's smile widened, he leaned his head to her stomach and swiveled his ear so that it pressed onto her skin. "He wants to know what you want to eat. He says that he doesn't care what it is, he just wants food."

She giggled, "Really?" She reached over and started rubbing his ear.

A/N: Sorry, I told you it would be very short! Bare with me please! I was stupid and got grounded. I'm sssssssooooooo sorry! (But what do you think Inu-Yasha's reaction will be to having his ears rubbed?!)
