Ch. 58 Love Sucks

*I do not own Inuyasha, IM simply borrowing him, but don't worry, I'll have him back before anyone notices he's gone!

I stepped into Inuyasha's car; I am never going to get over how comfortable these cushy things are. I t feels so good that it almost feels wrong.

Inuyasha got in the car and flashed me an overly flashy smile, which was a sign that he was nervous. You learn a couple things about people when you see em everyday for nine months.

"I forgive you" Inuyasha said out of the blue.

This one totally caught me off guard, "what?"

"I forgive you" he said simply.

"For what?" I asked.

"For calling me buttercup" he gave me a sympathizing look, "I mean you were probably under a bit of stress"

"From what?" I asked incredulously.

"The year end exams, prom queen, end of high school, your 18th Birthday coming up, having such a wanted commodity for a boyfriend" He added in an obnoxiously overly confident way.

"I have a boyfriend?" I asked with fake confusion

Inuyasha gave an annoyed look, "hilarious Kagome" he said sarcastically.

"Oh you mean the cute one" I said smiling.

"Yep" Inuyasha's haughtiness had returned.

"The one that all the other girls want to take from me" I said scooting closer to him.

"Ahuh" Inuyasha nodded. Stopping the car in front of his house but not getting out. He just undid his seatbelt.

I undid mine too, "The one who's a great kisser" I scooted up to him so we were right next to each other.

"yep" He smiled arrogantly.

"Isn't his name Kouga?" I asked trying not to smile.

"WHAT!?" Inuyasha blared right into my ear.

I smiled, "calm down yasha I'm kidding" I leaned over and gave him a kiss, "buttercup"

I hopped out of the car before I could see his reaction. I ran at full speed towards his house and slammed the door a split second before he caught me.

Inuyasha pounded on the door, "Kagome! It's my house you can't lock me out of it!"

"Why not?" I asked playfully.

"Because if you do I will have to punish you" I heard him answer back.

I paused a moment, remembering his past punishments, particularly the one where I sat 300 and something times and I got a kiss. Maybe I should let him in, "Only if you promise not to tackle me" I shouted, remembering the water escapade.

"What? Sure" He yelled back.

With that I carefully unlocked the door.

"Sucker" He smiled and picked me up (stupid macho man wannabe).

"Inuyasha put me down now" I tried to wiggle my way free (smarrrrrrrrrrrt)

"Why should I?" he asked imitating my voice (I do not sound like that)

"Because I have no reservations about subduing your face into the carpet" I smiled smugly.

His face fell, "oh, yeah well there is that" He began to move to put me down.

Suddenly I didn't want to go down, so before he got a chance to so much as lower me, I threw my arms around his neck and pulled his head towards mine and kissed him. After a few seconds he pulled back and said jokingly, "Why Kagome I don't know what came ov-"

"Shut up" I pulled his mouth to mine again, 'you see I was right, enjoy him while you can' the little voice came back, 'Your only making it harder on yourself, cut it off now, could you really dump him right when he tells you that he loves you?" the second voice was back, 'if he loves you' the second voice added. That was it I was officially not listening to the second voice anymore.

Inuyasha put me down on the couch, He smiled, at me, a genuine smile, with not a hint of smugness. I smiled back, I am happy with him, I do love him, but if he ever does tell me I will break it off. For the first time since getting the news I was thinking semi-rationally.

"You jerk" I reached over and slapped his shoulder playfully, "It's not possible to win eight games of go fish in a row, how are ya doin it?"

"Um Kag, I want to talk to you about something" he sat up.

"Not till you tell me" damnit how did he do it!

"Kag it's serious" he gave me an imploring look.

"Oh, alright then what do we need to talk about?" I understood that (for once) this wasn't going to be about something stupid.

He pulled me up and brought his arms around me, "Kagome, I, I love you"

A/N Oh I am sooooooooooooooooooo evil! It's ok I'll update tomorrow I promise. But the next chapter will only complicate things by five trust me. Kouga, Kikyo and Sesshoumaru will all have a gigantic impact in the story now, starting next chapter (but they're still not main characters)

And for those of you who peaked at the spoilers the fire scene will be either next chapter or the one after that.

Higurashi Kagome- Ashley I can't believe you did it! How long did it take you? And where the hell did hexagon come from, was that just random?

Thanx
