"Come on Inuyasha! You promised!"

"I didn't promise I agreed, there's a difference! And when I agreed I didn't know I'd have to wear this thing!" Inuyasha was sitting on Kagome's bed fuming. It had taken nearly an hour to convince him to wear clothes from her time but as soon as she pulled out the swim trunks all hell broke loose.

"Oh don't be so difficult Inuyasha! If you can battle demons you can handle a bathing suit!" A slight throbbing was starting between her eyes but she was to caught up in the argument to notice.

"Battling a demon is completely different from walking around half-naked in this damn thing!" Inuyasha roared as he hurled the offending garment into the corner.

'Time to try another approach,' Kagome thought as she walked over to the corner slowly and deliberately before picking up the mass of black and red fabric. "I think they're cute, besides, they will look good on you." 'Maybe a little flattery will soften him up.' Kagome thought as she turned to face the hanyou, holding the trunks out for him to see. Inuyasha looked down, a little embarrassed, but quickly regained his composure. "At least try them on first. If you really hate them that much, you don't have to wear them," she said with a smile. Trying to ignore her now pounding head, she tossed him the bathing suit and pushed him into the hall.

-ten minutes later-

"Are you done yet Inuyasha? I want to see them on you." She had waited long enough for him to emerge from the bathroom and now she was starting to get angry.

"I'm not coming out," came Inuyasha's muffled reply from the other side of the door.

'I swear he can be worse than Souta sometimes.' she thought to herself as she stood staring at the door. "Why not?"

"They're too small."

'Stay calm Kagome, stay calm.' "Inuyasha please come out."

"No." Now she was pissed

"INUYASHA!"

"I said no damnit! Now go away!"

'Oh he is going to get it.' "If you don't open this door right now I'm going to say the 's' word!"

"Feh," was his only response as he slowly opened the door.

"They look great on!" any hint of anger was dropped from her voice as she slipped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. "They fit perfectly," Kagome said with a smile as she examined the fit. Her eyes fan down his body, pausing for a moment on his toned chest. "I don't know why you're so embarrassed to wear them," she said as she fought to control the rising temperature on her own face.

"I'm not embarrassed wench!" he yelled before adding in a lowered voice, "they're just a little small, that's all."

"Everyone in my family will be wearing one so don't worry," she smiled as she spoke, trying to get the stubborn hanyou more open to the idea. "and so will everyone at the beach." Though Inuyasha claimed he wasn't embarrassed it was obvious he was uncomfortable standing around in his bathing suit by the way he stood with his arms crossed tightly across his exposed chest. So his response came as no surprise.

"I'm not wearing it," he said flatly while trying to avoid eye contact by keeping his tightly closed.

"Please Inuyasha. You need to fit in. We don't need to drawn attention to ourselves anymore than you hair or eyes will," she said slightly annoyed at his refusal.

"What's wrong with my hair and eyes!" he shot back, getting on the defensive. Though to anyone listening in, he sounded annoyed at her insinuation, Kagome heard the hurt in his voice that backed his angry words.

"Nothing!" she quickly answered, trying to calm his fears, "I like the way you look Inuyasha, its just, most people I know don't have silver hair or yellow eyes," she explained, trying to clear up the misunderstanding.

"You like the way I look?" Inuyasha questioned as he walked over to her so that he could look into her eyes.

"Um, sure I do Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled, turning a bright shade of red. 'Why is he looking at me that way. Why do I feel like this?' she mentally questioned as she gazed back into his amber orbs. She shook her head as if to dispel her thoughts before continuing, "Now come on we need to finish packing." With that Kagome quickly opened the door and darted into her room leaving Inuyasha standing open-mouthed at her statement.

'Did she just say I was handsome?'

-that night-

"Kagome you need to get to bed sweetie, we're leaving bright and early tomorrow morning," the sound of Ms. Hirogashes (yes the sp is so wrong i kno) voice drifted into Inuyasha's mind. He had been sitting on Kagome's windowsill looking out at the god tree thinking about the day and the week ahead when her voice had interrupted his train of thought.

"I will mom, I'm almost done packing," Kagome answered through huffs of breath as she jumped on her suitcase yet again, in a vain attempt to close it.

"Just don't stay up late."

"Don't worry mom," Kagome answered as she eyed Inuyasha's half-full suitcase. She had just started removing some of the objects in her bag that obstructed the zipper and was about to creep over and stash them in his when he caught her.

"Don't even think it wench," he said flatly as he turned his gaze from the god tree to Kagome's crouching form.

'How does he always know?' "But my suitcase won't close Inuyasha, and you have extra room in yours," she pleaded as she continued to unzip it.

"Feh," was his only reply before turning his attention back out the window.

'Now that was to easy. I wonder what's wrong with him,' Kagome wondered as she zipped up both bags with ease and pushed them aside. "There, now we can get some sleep," she exclaimed triumphantly, trying to shake him out of his sudden funk.

"I'll see ya in the morning ," he mumbled as he stood up, placing a foot on the windowsill and a hand on the frame.

"You are going to have to stay inside tonight Inuyasha. We wouldn't want anyone to see you up there," she told him as she waved her arm in the direction of the god tree.

"What's wrong with people seein' me? he asked as he stepped back from the window and took a seat on her bed.

"Well, they're liable to think you are a peeping tom," she giggled as she took a seat next to him.

"What's that?"

"Its what Miroku does when he sneaks to watch Sango and I at the hot springs," she explained while stifling a laugh at the horrified look on Inuyasha's face.

"People in your time do that!" he asked incredulously, as the thought of more people like Miroku walking around sent a slight shiver down his spine.

"Come on," she laughed as she took his hand and pulled him toward her door, "I'll set up a bed on the couch." He pulled his hand from her grasp, blushing slightly.

"I can walk on my own," he mumbled as he led the way.

-twenty minutes later-

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Inuyasha asked for the tenth time since Kagome had started making a bed on the couch.

"Yes, if anything goes wrong I'll call you, okay?" Kagome answered as she threw a pillow down on the couch. "Now go to sleep!" she commanded as she headed to her room. She faintly heard him mutter something that ended with 'bitch' but decided it wasn't worth the fight. Instead she opened her door and shut it firmly behind her, shutting out any of the hanyou's snide comments. She slipped out of her school uniform and donned a tank top and a pair of fleecy shorts. 'He can be so difficult sometimes,' she thought to herself as she turned off her light and crawled into bed.

-dream-

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her small frame closer to the warmth of his body. He leaned down, pulling her lips to his in a chaste kiss. Her breath caught in her throat as he brought his lips to her neck, "I'm glad you're ok," he murmured against her skin as he kissed an especially tender spot on her neck.

-present-

"Oh Inuyasha."

His ears perked at the mention of his name and he was up the stairs in a flash. He pushed open her door, ready for action, but stopped when he found her asleep in bed.

'I could've sworn she said my name,' he thought as he sheathed Tetsusaiga. His thoughts were interrupted by a gasp from Kagome.

"Inuyasha"

'Is she dreaming about me?' he questioned as he crept closer to her bed. She moaned slightly and he could hear her heart racing. He blushed furiously at the realization of what she was dreaming about, and got up to leave. He paused though as another moan escaped Kagome's lips. 'Maybe I should stay, just to see how it turns out,' he thought with a smirk. Even in the darkness he could see beads of sweat on her forehead and a smile of ecstasy on her face. She gasped and grabbed the sheets, causing Inuyasha to blush even more. 'I guess its turning out pretty good' Suddenly she sat straight up and turned to face him. 'Oh shit! I'm in trouble now!' he thought as he braced himself for the string of 'sits' sure to follow.
