A/N: Sorry about not updating yesterday. I was unable to go online because my family was getting ready for Easter.

A week later things began to run more smoothly. Sango and Miroku had adapted to their new lifestyle rather quickly. Shippo enjoyed his new friend and Souta enjoyed the company. Kagome had returned to school and Inuyasha had joined the workforce. Inu had become a fireman. Kagome still did not know about it which was better for InuYasha.

The house where coming along but not ready for them to live in. Until they are ready Sango has to sleep in Kagome's room and Miroku in Inu's. Sango also used Kagome's room to hide from Miroku when she wants some time to herself.

Kagome came home right after school, like usual. She walked over to her room and threw her backpack onto the floor. She hurried over to InuYasha's room. The door was closed.

She knocked.

"InuYasha are you in there?"

She knocked again.

"InuYasha are you in there?"

"No." A voice behind her said.

Kagome turned around.

Miroku was holding a bowl of popcorn. "There is a movie on I wanted to watch."

Kagome nodded. "Uh huh, but where is InuYasha?"

Miroku put some popcorn in his mouth. "I dunno, he isn't here, neither is Sango." He placed the bowl on the floor. He then grabbed her hands and looked around. "Since Sango isn't here, will you bear my child?"

Kagome hit his head and he fell to the ground. He grabbed his bowl and squirmed into his room. He closed the door behind him. Kagome then walked to the kitchen. She pulled a cup of instant noodle out of the cupboard. She filled the kettle with water she then placed it on the stove top and turned on the flame. She tapped her fingers against the table.

She heard someone walk in the front door. She opened the door to the kitchen to see who it was. InuYasha walked in. His sweat filled hair was pulled back into a ponytail and he wore slightly dirty jeans with a gray t-shirt which said, "Tokyo Fire Department." His body was full of sweat and sprinkled with ashes of soot. He saw Kagome and tried to hide.

"InuYasha, there you are." When her eyes fell upon him her jaw fell. The kettle suddenly whistled to show that it was done cooking. Kagome blushed and quickly ran over to turn off the heat then ran back. "InuYasha did you get a job?"

Inu scratched his head trying to find a way out of this one.

Kagome placed one hand on his chest. "I think it's great that you got a job." She stood on her toes and kissed him.

"What can I say?"

Kagome smiled. "Before you do say something can you please go take a shower?"

Inu lifted his arm and smelled his arm pit. "Eww, uh, alright." He put his arm back down. He then walked back towards the shower.

Kagome went to her room and began her homework while he was in the shower.

She opened her math book and took out a piece of paper. She looked at her first problem. She bit the end of her pencil and struggled with it at first but then got the hang of it. She tapped her pencil against her desk as she read the word problem. She wanted to get her homework done quickly so she could spend time with InuYasha.

Her bedroom door opened and InuYasha walked in with a towel wrapped around his waist. His clothes where under his arm.

Kagome's eyes wandered to his chest, which was perfectly sculptured.

"InuYasha, what are you doing in here? If my mom sees, you will have to leave my house."

"It's fine. Your mom went out and we are friends now. Anyway, Miroku is in the bedroom watching a girly movie."

Kagome laughed.

"He won't let me go in there and change and Souta is in the bathroom so I came in here."

Kagome continued to laugh. "That's fine you can change in here. I will stand outside."

"No, don't leave. I will just get changed in the corner."

Kagome blushed. "But…InuYasha."

"No, no, it's fine, just don't look."

Kagome turned around and sat perfectly still. InuYasha walked over to the corner and began to change and occasionally would look over to see if Kagome was trying to look, which she never did.

He left his shirt on her bed and walked over to her.

"Alright, now you can turn around."

Kagome turned around and saw InuYasha without a shirt on. He smiled. She stood up and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her. She placed her head against his chest and heard his heart beating and she knew deep down that his heart was beating for her. She looked up at him and kissed him.
