Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! (that fact is very painful. ouch)

Inuyasha was protectively standing in front of Kagome. It didn't take him long to figure out who the dark figure was.

"All right, quit it already. I know who you are, ya bastard," Inuyasha said, in a really pissed voice. "Aw, mutt-face, you ruin all the fun," Koga said, stopping the whole whoosh- y thingy. "Whaddya want?" "Well, since I was in the neighborhood-" "Your den is about 3 miles away from here, stupid." "As I was saying, I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to say hello to my woman, is that a problem?" "Damn right that's a problem! She ain't your woman!" "Hey Kagome, how've you been, babe?" "You're really an idiot sometimes, Koga," Kagome said, shocking both Inuyasha and Koga.

Apparently Koga had become completely ignorant since the last time they saw him.

"So, Kagome, wanna come back with me to the den?"

Kagome really wanted him to leave at this point, so she decided to try something that sounded really stupid.

"Okay, Koga, I'll meet you at the den in three hours." "All right, see ya there!" Koga left at this point.

"I think Koga had something fall on his head," Kagome said, "Now, uh, do you think we should get to Kaede's hut now?"

Inuyasha didn't really feel like going in yet. He wanted to stay out under the stars with Kagome.

"Kagome? Could we just stay out here and listen to that music of yours?" "Sure, Inuyasha."

Kagome turned on a slow song and sat down next to Inuyasha. After a while, she ended falling asleep, her head resting on Inuyasha's chest. Inuyasha found this a great opportunity for him to do what he wanted to do all night.

Inuyasha placed a light kiss on Kagome's lips. She didn't move, but he swore that he almost saw a smile on her face for a split second. He started falling asleep himself, so he carefully lay down, with Kagome still on top of him, and fell asleep.

A/N: I just want you to picture this before I write the next chapter: They fell asleep together, out in the open, near the village. Just think about that.
