Inuyasha blinked for a moment.

Something didn't smell right..

Or rather, LACK of smell.

" Inuyasha?" Kagome stared up at him. Inuyasha got in her face and stared closely at her.

"You. Don't. Fool. Me.."

"Kitsune."

POOF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" YOU DAMN KITSUNE!"

WHACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inuyasha woke with a start. Well, that was weird. He was sitting on top of the hospital roof. There were nurses yelling out the windows to ' Come down before you fall and break your neck!' He ignored them, of course. His thoughts drifted back to the sleeping not-quite-miko girl sleeping in the room below, and what he'd put on her bed side table. It was the shikon shards that had fallen off her neck when she had been-

Inuyasha shook his head violently, and mentally smacked himself in the face.

'Stop thinking about it.' he growled in his head, ' Just.. wait till she gets better, and then go from there.'

'Not that easy, is it?' said the annoying little voice in his head that makes some people act schizophrenic.

'Why do I even have one of these?' Inuyasha sighed as he pondered what God must have thinking, giving everyone a schizophrenic voice.

"God must be a sucker for morals." He said aloud, without realizing it.

"A 'sucker for morals'?" Kagome was hanging out her window, smiling brightly at him in the neon glow of the night city.

Inuyasha flipped over his head and landed with cat-like grace on the sill.

"Are you well already? " He asked questioningly, his eyes showing his lack of knowledge with ' modern medicine'.

"No." she said sadly, obviously wanting out. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Inuyasha?"

"Hn?"

"Do you remember this room?"

"What about it?"

'Remember Miyu, the little ghost girl? This was her brother's room."

"Oh yeah. I'd forgotten." Inuyasha propped himself up on one elbow. "I had a weird dream." he said.

" What was it about?" she asked.

They were both laying on the roof, staring up at the moonlit sky. This was one of those special moments, where you tell someone anything.

"Maybe," he had a small smile on his face. one she couldn't see in the darkness. "Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime."

His head turned a slight fraction, to look at her. With his demonic eyes, he could see she was looking at him contemplatively, a smile gracing her features.

She flopped onto her back once again. "I wonder what the others are doing." she thought out loud, and Inuyasha snorted.

"The baka houshi is probably getting the hot damn beaten out of him." Inuyasha chuckled, imagining the red marks the baka houshi would have.

"Inuyasha! Don't say such things about your friends!" Kagome scolded him, a small smirk on her face.

"Oh, don't think I can't see that smile on your face!" he retorted.

"Oh, please." she tugged on one of his ears.

"H-h-h-hey!" he protested . She gently stroked his ear, and his eyes drooped.

He mumbled something, and Kagome could just barely catch a bit of it.

"You're a strange girl and.." here she couldn't hear him," you for it." There was a purr thrumming from his throat as he leaned into her touch, and fell asleep.

"You are just a little puppy, aren't you, Inuyasha?" Kagome smiled at the sleeping hanyou, taking his head in her lap and continuing her gentle ministrations.

" Just a sleepy little puppy."

A/N: Wow. *yawn* my muses fell asleep writing this one. And it's still short!!! *sob sob sob * Well, at least you have it to read, roght? I'm on a fluffyness roll, so I'll be updating sooner.
