Sleepover - The Long Awaited Chapter 2!
By: Sakura Katsana
Sakura: OK OK! I give! Sorry it took so long but I am writing TWO, not one, TWO chapterized fics at the same time right now. And YES, I do know chapterized isn't a word but whatever. Here's chapter 2!
Last Chapter...
"Bed bugs?" He let out a small chuckle and then listened hard with his weak human ears at their questions.
"So are you going out?" Naoko asked.
"Sorta." She whispered, but Inuyasha heard. He smiled and went to sleep.

"So *he's* the mystery guy that you've ignored Hojo-kun for!" Akiko just nudged Kagome, as she blushed redder than she already was.
Kagome knew Inuyasha was probably still awake and listening to her conversation. 'I can't tell them something that I only *wish* to happen.' Kagome sighed and laid back on her bed.
"Well? What's he like?" Sakura piped up and her eyes sparkled.
"Well . . ." Kagome thought about nice things she could say but didn't find many. "He's always protecting me, he's tough, he treats me right, he has this puppy factor to him . . ." Kagome thought hard.
"Puppy factor?" Akiko decided it was better to just let it go.
"He seems nice," Taya sighed and got a dreamy look in her eyes. "He's so cute and smart." She continued but everyone was ignoring her with their own questions.
"How good of a kisser is he?" Naoko edged closer towards Kagome along with the other girls.
"WHAT?!" Kagome jumped back at this. 'We've never kissed! WE aren't even dating! What have I gotten myself into?' Kagome just put on a fake smile and blushed harder.
"You haven't kissed yet have you?" Naoko winked and leaned in closer.
"No." Kagome muttered. The other girls gave a collective sigh.
"Why not?" Sakura lightly shoved Kagome. "How can you stand it?"
"Um, I have to go to the bathroom. Be right back!" Kagome rushed from the room as quickly as she could and snuck downstairs.

Inuyasha had already woken up due to Sota's snoring and left to go outside. "Did Kagome mean what she said?" Inuyasha's heart filled with hope.
It was all he could do to hold back from smiling. Then he could her faint footsteps by the mini-shrine. "Kagome?" Inuyasha walked behind the god tree.
Kagome walked over and leaned on the God tree. "Why did I say that? He's not my boyfriend. He can barely stand me!" Kagome fought with herself sitting down in the grass.
Inuyasha sighed and looked out from behind the Goshinboku at Kagome.
She was hurting because he didn't like her? He thought she didn't like him but know . . .
Inuyasha's thoughts were interrupted by a small twig snapping under his foot.
"Inuyasha? Is that you?" Kagome stood up and looked behind her to see Inuyasha frozen in place.
Inuyasha stood silent and stared at her. "Feh," Inuyasha finally forced out the word and turned to leave.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome took a step closer to him and stopped. "Do you hate me?" Kagome choked on her question.
Inuyasha saw the tears begin to fall from Kagome's beautiful face and mentally kicked himself.
'How could I be such a damned baka to make her think you hated her?' "I . . . Don't hate you . . ."
"How can you say that?!" Kagome growled looking up at him with teary eyes. "You're always running off with Kikyo!"
"I don't always run off with Kikyo!" Inuyasha growled. "What are you talking about?!"
"I'm talking about the countless times you've left me for her! Every time her soul skimmers come around you're off again! Either that or you're sulking."
"What do you expect me to do? She's tried killing you before damn it! You expect me to stay around and allow her to get *that* near to you?"
Kagome paused in thought, 'Is that why?' As quickly as doubt filled her mind so did more anger, but this time at herself. She quickly recovered though, "You've kissed her!"
"I didn't kiss her! She's the one who kissed me!" Inuyasha took a step closer to the girl in front of him. "Why are you throwing all my mistakes back in my face woman?"
"Your . . . Mistakes?" Kagome's eyes widened. "You mean . . ."
"I mean why are you throwing all my mistakes back in my face," Inuyasha growled, slightly hesitant at repeating it.
"Why do you give me such mixed signals?" Kagome continued, "One second you're about to kiss me, the next second you kiss *her*. Then you tell me you want to be near me, then you go off with *her* again."
"I-"
"No." Kagome growled, clenching her fist, "I'm not done yet. Kouga comes and kidnaps me and you come acting jealous about the whole thing but when you go off who-knows-where with Kikyo I'm supposed to 'understand'."
"Ka-"
"Why? Inuyasha, why do you make it so hard for me to figure out how you really feel? You wonder why I think you hate me? That's why."
"I already told you! I. Don't. Hate. You." Inuyasha took a deep breath, just waiting for her to yell 'sit' at any second.
"If you don't hate me then what-"
He didn't wait for her to finish the question, if he did then he might lose the courage.
"Because I love you damn it!" Inuyasha growled back. It seemed time had stopped as soon as the words flowed from his mouth.
"N-nani?" Kagome slowly walked closer to the hanyou in front of her.
Her tears made her vision blurry but she could see Inuyasha's sad golden eyes looking down at her.
"Kagome . . ." Inuyasha whispered putting his finger under her chin and craning her head up to look into his eyes. "It's true." With that said, Inuyasha closed the distance between them in a kiss.
"Inu-" Kagome didn't finish as she leaned into the kiss, 'Finally . . .'
"Well I see she *has* kissed him now hasn't she?" Naoko and the others giggled as they looked out the window.
"Lucky girl." Sakura sighed and rested her head in her hands.
"Yeah." Taya continued to look at the couple kissing in the early morning.
Kagome hesitantly yielded the kiss and smiled. "Inuyasha, I love you too."
Inuyasha didn't' say anything, his eyes just softened. "I have to go."
"Where are you going?" Kagome held him tight.
"Well I can't just turn hanyou around *them* can I?" Inuyasha smirked walking towards the mini shrine.
Inuyasha hesitated turning around, "I'll be waiting for you. You better be back tomorrow." With that he entered the mini-shrine and Kagome sighed walking back into the house.

Sakura: Well I hope you liked this chapter since you demanded it this is what you got. It might not be the same style but that's because it's been a while since I wrote chapter one and so the train of thought kinda drifted.
R&R My story: Most Important Mission - it's much better than this story although I like this story too. If I get enough "I want another chapter" then I'll try and make a better one but yeah. R&R!
