I had writer's block for a while, but now I know what I'm going to write something. It might not be the best something, but it's something.

This chapter is really short because this is new material, I haven't figured out anything to this point.

I don't own Inuyasha or have rights to the show.

Chapter 3

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Inuyasha dried his clothes by hanging them out to dry on Kagome's clothes line. At the time, he had to wear sheets until the kimono dried out. Unfortunately, by the time the clothing had dried, the sun had already sunk below the horizon and it was getting dark.

"Inuyasha" Kagome said "You stay here, and I'll go out and buy some clothes for you."

"Why? Don't I already look fine in my kimono?"

"Of course you look fine in your regular clothing; you just need something to wear so that you could blend into the crowd and not draw attention to yourself."

"Alright, I understand. You do know more than I do here because this is your time and you know the customs."

"What am I saying?" Inuyasha thought

"Thanks for the compliment Inuyasha."

"Feh, don't get used to getting them."

With a sigh, Kagome shook her head went out to buy the clothes. Inuyasha once again sat in his favorite tree (tallest) in Kagome's yard. She went to several stores to look for guy clothes when she forgot to find out his clothing size. She mostly estimated the size of each article of clothing until she reached undergarments.

"Uh, I think I better find boxers since most guys like to wear these things and they need to be uh, big. This is so awkward; I've never had to go out to buy clothes for a guy before." Kagome thought.

She gathered all the purchased clothing and tried to get back home. Getting home wasn't as easy as it usually was; the streets were filled with people who were out to have a good time. Though it was normal to have people in the streets, Kagome thought she saw a demon out of the corner of her eye in the crowd.

"It's probably another person dressing up as something." Kagome said and went home.

She found Inuyasha sleeping in the tree, with the sheets still wrapped around him.

"He looks so peaceful, sleeping in the tree. I shouldn't disturb him." Kagome said to herself

She put his clothes away in her room and got ready for dinner. Her mom had made sukiyaki that night. Considering that Kagome had eaten nothing but ramen most of the time while in feudal Japan, she gratefully dug in, giving everyone a sight to see.

"Kagome are you feeling alright? By the way you are gobbling down that food; it looks as if you haven't eaten in days." Kagome's grandfather said.

"No *gulp* it has just been a long time since I last had sukiyaki. Especially when it's this good, thanks mom*gulp*."    

"Well, I do make good food. Kagome, where is your friend? Isn't he hungry?" Kagome's mom asked

"No, I'm sure he isn't hungry, *gulp* he's sleeping."

"Okay Kagome, just eat your dinner slowly and get ready for bed."

Kagome finished her food and was getting into her nightgown in the bathroom. Before she started to undress, she looked out the window to see if Inuyasha was there and pulled the curtains closed. Then she got ready for bed. It was several minutes before everyone else was ready to sleep, and Kagome's mom came up to check on her. Kagome was still slightly awake when her mom came up.

"Don't forget to bundle up tonight, it's going to be a cold one."

"Alright mom" Kagome mumbled in her sleepy state.

As soon as her mom closed the door, she remembered that Inuyasha was still outside.

She was about to go out her room to get Inuyasha from the tree outside when she heard a knocking outside of her window. She opened the windows to let in a very cold and shivering Inuyasha into her room.

"What-t-t-t  t-t-took  y-y-y-a?" Inuyasha asked through clicking teeth.

"Um, I was about to come out to get you, when you started knocking on my window."

"Well, n-n-next-t  t-time, c-c-could you c-c-come a litt-ttle earlier?"

"Sure, sorry I left you out there for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't do it next time alright?"

"Yeah"

Inuyasha slept on the floor while Kagome slept in her bed. It was a peaceful night of sleep for the both of them, but later in the night; Inuyasha crawled into Kagome's bed. Kagome was slightly disturbed when she saw Inuyasha in bed with her, but she realized it was only because he was cold and snuggled closer to him. In Kagome's drowsy state, she didn't know what she was doing, just getting closer to the one other person she loved.
