Chapter 16:

Inuyasha raced up the stairs, taking them two at a time while Kagome fretted about what he just said. Shower..shower..shower! With Inuyasha?! Was all that went through her mind. Before she knew it, he was at the top of the stairs, and slowly walked now down the dim hallway.

Apparently, he didn't know where the bathroom was, and Kagome wriggled in his arms and he set her down. Kagome didn't want to move, her heart was pounding so hard and fast that she thought a deaf person could hear it. But she walked very slowly, Inuyasha following her from behind. She came to the bathroom door and stopped, her forehead only two inches away from the wooden door. Before she could turn around though, her forehead banged into the door, and she felt Inuyasha's body against her back.

"Shit! I'm sorry Kagome! I guess I wasn't look..ing..." Inuyasha trailed off his sentence as he saw a huge frustration mark on Kagome's head. He took a few scared steps back and watched as kagome slowly turned around. Her eyes were closed and her mouth looked as if she was trying to calm some anger, which made Inuyasha take another step back.

"Inuyasha.." Kagome didn't open her eyes but her voice was soft and nice. "DON"T YOU THINK I HAVE HITTEN MY HEAD ENOUGH TIMES TODAY?!!" She exploded rubbing her forehead with her hand. Inuyasha brought his hands up in front of his face and cowered away from her until his back met the wall.

"Sorry Kagome, I umm..wasn't paying..attention?" He said in a scared kind of voice, waving his hands in front of his face. Kagome stared at him for a moment then took in a deep breath and let it out gradually.

"You know what? I am going to my room and I don't want you to come in!" Kagome said quickly, turning around to walk to her room. Inuyasha blinked a few times, obviously dumbfounded.

"Hey! I said I was sorry didn't I? Why are you so pissed at me? Hey!" Inuyasha yelled taking a few steps further towards Kagome who was almost to her bedroom door. Kagome said nothing.

"Hey! Are you listening?" Kagome was still silent. "Ohhh..I get it! You're gonna ignore me now!" Kagome opened her door and glanced back, smiling. Then she hurried inside and shut the door. Inuyasha threw his hands up and wondered if that smile was a teasing one or she had something planned.

"Fine! I'm gonna go sit in the living room till you come out!" He yelled walking down the stairs.

~*~

Kagome dug through her top drew of her dresser, looking for her blue bikini that had little designs all over it in a lighter blue. She pulled it out and crammed everything else that she had thrown on the floor back into the dresser drew, struggling to shut it back again.

She changed into the bikini quickly, and then put her dirty splotchy uniform in the dirty clothesbasket in her room. She stood in front of the mirror adjusting the bikini top before slowly and quietly opening the door, as not to let Inuyasha hear her. She crossed over to the hallway bathroom and grabbed an orange beach towel that had a huge multicolored fish on it, and wrapped it around her tightly. She walked over to the tub and grabbed her cucumber melon shampoo and conditioner, and walked out into the hallway.

She could hear the TV on in the living room and she assumed Inuyasha was sitting on the couch watching a movie. She quietly walked down the stairs, watching her steps carefully and made sure to step on the part of the stairs where they don't creek. Kagome was in the middle of the stairs when-

CREEEEEK!!

Kagome stilled instantly and held onto the polished wooden rail while holding the shampoo and conditioner against her chest, looking into the living room. Inuyasha didn't seem to notice and she continued. Once she was on the second to last step, she could see the back of Inuyasha's head, of course, he was sitting on the couch watching something she's never seen or heard of before. His ears were pointing forward and she knew he didn't know she was there.

She walked a ways from behind the couch and she stopped when his ears swiveled in her direction.

"Kagome, I know that's you! What are you doi-." Inuyasha turned to see Kagome running into the kitchen and out the back door. Inuyasha got up and chased her wondering what the hell she was doing.

He opened the back door and didn't see her anywhere. 'Feh, two can play this game.' He thought and sneaked to the side of the house. Right when he turned the corner though, a rush of water sprayed him in the face. And it was hot!

"Ouch! Hey!" He jumped into a tree against the house. "That water is fucking hot!" He yelled at Kagome who was holding a green water hose and giggling.

"Well, duh, Inuyasha! It's been sitting in the sun all day! What'd you expect?!" Kagome asked still giggling.

"I didn't expect to get sprayed with a damn water hose!" Inuyasha pointed out, leaning off one of the branches in the tree. Kagome lifted the water hose and sprayed him in the tree and Inuyasha jumped out, landing in front of Kagome. His clothes were soaking wet, his hair was scraggily, which kind of looked like a mop, and his ears were back against his head. He gave Kagome a glare and Kagome broke out in a million laughs.

"C'mon Inuyasha! Why are you so mad? I'm just having some fun!" Kagome tried saying through her endless laughter. Inuyasha gave her a dumb look and then Kagome lifted the nozzle of the hose and smirked.

"Move and I'll spray!" She said in a playful tone. Inuyasha seemed to just notice that Kagome was wearing a blue bikini, and he stared at a few places for a bit to long with his mouth opened slightly. He was then, again, sprayed with cold water.

"Hey!! I didn't move, you wrench!!" He yelled at her while fisting his hands and looking kind of like a monkey.

"Yeah, but you were staring, you hentai!" Kagome teased. "You're just like Miroku and you know it!"

"What!! Umm, for your information I'm nothing like that lech!" He stated flatly with his eyes narrowed. Ok, where is this conversation leading to?

Ohhhh..so umm, you gonna prove that?" Kagome placed her hands on her hips and smirked; apparently amused with the fact that Inuyasha was about to admit his perverted side.

"Feh!!" He snorted, crossing his arms and looking away with his eyes closed. Surely there's a point to this.

"Soooo, you are!!" Kagome giggled and watched as his eyebrow twitched and his hands fisted until his knuckles were white. Kagome was enjoying this little game. 'He can't say that he's not just a little perverted sometimes cause all guys are! Unless you have matured a lot at the age of 17, and well, heh, I don't think so.' Kagome thought taking a few steps back. "And plus, he was considering on taking a shower with me! Now that is proof enough.'

Inuyasha opened one eye and peered at her moving back and he closed it again. 'What was she trying to do anyways? Calling me a hentai? Saying I'm like Miroku?! Wait till I get my questions out.'

"Sooo..there's no protesting or sarcasm, or any bad come backs?" Kagome asked, staring at him, just waiting for something unexpected.

"Sooo..you like Miroku." Inuyasha mocked her and smirked facing her. He saw as Kagome was shocked and her cheeks flushed some.

"Of..of course not!!" Kagome stammered glaring at him. Inuyasha started to walk towards her, and she held up the water hose, taking aim on his head.

"Ohhh..but I think you do." Inuyasha said teasingly taking more and more steps until he was a foot away from her. Kagome smirked again and said almost honestly, or it sounded honestly, "What if I did?" She asked and Inuyasha's eyes went wide and stared at her in shock. Kagome laughed and, again, sprayed him with the water hose, but this time he didn't just stand there. He leapt and gripped the green gardening hose and tried to yank it away from Kagome. Kagome held on tight and tried to pry his hand off but she soon lost her footing as Inuyasha popped the back of her bikini top and she fell right onto her butt.

"Pay back!" Inuyasha exclaimed while spraying Kagome with the hose. The clumps of pancake mix in her hair was like glue now and the hard concrete pavement was dark from the water. Kagome lifted her hands and tried to stop the rush of water from hitting her face.

"Ok, OK!! Inuyasha please!" Kagome begged and giggled at the same time. She noticed the shampoo and the conditioner next to her and she grabbed the shampoo.

"Alright I give up!" She shouted and the water stopped. She opened the shampoo bottle and got up quickly, grabbing Inuyasha's fore arm pulling him down a little and squeezed some cucumber melon shampoo on top of Inuyasha's silver covered head. Inuyasha grabbed her wrist firmly but gently and she dropped the bottle of shampoo. The air had a cucumber melon scent and Inuyasha chuckled.

"You think you're pretty sneaky don't you?" Inuyasha asked while letting go of her wrist and bending down to grab the shampoo bottle. When he did he felt Kagome's hands on top of his head, her fingertips massaging his scalp, lathering up the shampoo into suds. Then she started to scratch the base of his ears, and moving up little by little till she reached the very tips. Inuyasha found that he had sat down at one point and he enjoyed the sensations that were running through him from Kagome's ministrations.

Kagome giggled when she heard a low vibrating sound in Inuyasha's chest, and knew he was purring, and scratched the base of his ears again. "Inuyasha, you're an inu youkai, or part anyway, right?" Kagome asked using one hand to wipe shampoo suds from his forehead to keep it from running into his eyes.

"Mmm hmm.." He answered through his purring, leaning his back against Kagome's slender legs.

"Well, I didn't know dogs purred!" Kagome said, pinching the tips of his ears gently with her forefingers and thumbs. Inuyasha stopped purring almost automatically and opened his eyes.

"I don't purr!" Inuyasha stated tilting his head to the side irritably. Kagome let go of his ears and walked over to stand in front of him.

"Ah! You just were!" Kagome exclaimed surprised that he would lie about the fact that he was purring.

"No I wasn't!" He yelled back at her standing now to ware he was only inches away from her.

"Then what do you call it dog boy?" Kagome asked raising her hands to rest on her curved hips.

"A low growling." He stated flatly narrowing his eyes giving her a look like 'Duh!'

"Pssst! Yeah right." Kagome said to herself rolling her eyes. For some odd reason Kagome felt kind of awkward. Inuyasha wasn't taking her teasing as lightly as some people would, and the way he was constantly yelling at her was making her regret all the teasing. Alright, so some people can't take jokes and some can't take a bit of teasing without thinking you're being serious! And let's just say, Inuyasha is both of those people.

Kagome was so caught up in her thoughts that when she came back to reality, she spotted Inuyasha a few feet away from her, his back facing her. She watched as he pulled his soaking wet shirt, which still had some white splotches on it, over his soapy head and shook it out. Then Kagome saw him fumbling with the button and zipper to his pants and then pushed them down to about his knees and paused for a second, and lifted his knees out of the wet denim. Kagome instantly put her hand where her mouth was and giggled. Because Inuyasha had a keen sense of hearing, he turned around with a huge blush on his face. Kagome stared at his boxers. Kagome giggled at his boxers. Kagome loved his boxers! They were a goldenrod yellow with brown..doggie foot prints all over them!!! They were adorable!!

"Where did you get those boxers? They're cute!" Kagome exclaimed staring at Inuyasha's blush as it grew darker.

"M-my Mother got them for me! I don't like them though. I just wore them cause my other ones are dirty!" Inuyasha stated, and Kagome giggled again.

"They suit you though!" Kagome said, but Inuyasha obviously didn't agree from the look on his face.

"I'm not some pet Kagome!" He explained giving her a glare.

"Ok, ok. I didn't say you were."

Kagome bent over and grabbed the water hose and walked over to Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared at her and Kagome stopped. Inuyasha's skin was stretched tight over his cut abs and chiseled chest. There were little drops of water all over him and the sun reflected off of them making him glisten. Kagome sighed. Never has she ever thought she would have a relationship with someone like Inuyasha. Yeah, of course he is sometimes an ass, but everyone is an ass sometimes, right?

"Look whose staring." Inuyasha pointed out sarcastically, but it seemed as if his mood had changed. Kagome walked on towards him and held up the hose.

"You want to rinse out your hair?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, cause the smell is starting to suffocate me. It smells like you!" Inuyasha said pulling his hair back with one of his hands like he was putting it in an invisible ponytail.

"Uhh! Oh, so now you're saying that my smell suffocates you?" Kagome asked getting angry, her hands clenched and her eye was twitching irritably. Inuyasha chuckled and grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to him forcefully. She fell against his bare hard chest and he wrapped his arms all the way around her, holding her tight against him while swaying a bit.

"Not really," He said gently into her ear. "You smell..nice." Inuyasha finished kissing her earlobe. Kagome felt her blush burning into her cheeks and sighed into his chest and started to laugh.

"What are you laughing about?" Inuyasha asked pulling away. Kagome only smirked.
