Chapter two!

*kagome opens door and closes it quickly with a call of sorry back to Inuyasha.*

Inuyasha: You are home early! How about knocking first? Huh?

Kagome: Sorry Inuyasha! Forgot that Tuesday nights are your, "Dress up and sing along to the Musical CATS" night!

Inuyasha: Feh.

Minutes passed.

Inuyasha, still sitting on the floor. Every once in a while peering back over his shoulder at the bathroom kagome's door.

"Are you done yet!?" he called to her, one ear twitching.

"In a minute Inuyasha! You know it's not that easy for a girl in my time to go more then three days without bathing," Kagome called out from behind the bathroom door. "Just don't come in ok?"

"hmp...Like I'd even WANT to. I can't wait all day kagome!"

"Alright, alright I'm coming out!" she called as she pushed open her bedroom door.

"Hey," Inuyasha started, an eyebrow raised slightly interested. "What's wrong with your mouth? Is it bleeding or something?"

"No," Kagome replied gritting her teeth. "It's called lipstick. Grow up Inuyasha."

"Fine, Whatever. Can we please go now?" Inuyasha said as he walked over to her window.

He sensed a familiar sad presence behind him coming from Kagome.

"What's wrong with you?"

Kagome was sitting on her bed, shoulders slumped forward and head down.

"Nothing," She sighed wiping her mouth with her sleeve. "We'd better get going. I'm sure the others are waiting for us." She finished as she picked up her bag and headed for her open window.

"Kagome," said Inuyasha as he put his hand on her shoulder. "You uh, look fine with or without that stuff on your face."

She smiled at him, making him feel a bit uneasy so he quickly took his hand off her shoulder.

"Thanks Inuyasha.....I needed to hear that." Kagome said as inuyasha hopped out of her window and onto the ground with her on his back.

"Good.....glad that's over." Inuyasha mumbled only half meaning it as they hopped into the well.

"Whew!" Kagome sighed after Inuyasha helped her and her stuff out of the well.

"Remind me never to bring so much stuff again!"

"You know it." Inuyasha replied coldly.

Suddenly the wind picked up.

Then out of the bushes sprang a small twister, revealing Koga as it stopped by the well.

"Grr...not him again!" Inuyasha barked, cracking his fingers into fists.
