Kagome awoke the next morning. Inuyasha sat soundly, eyes closed up against the wall again. It was three-o clock—still dark. I can't sleep—I've slept all day.
Feeling restless, Kagome sat up, carefully watching Inuyasha. He did not stir. Perhaps he had actually fallen asleep. Kagome raised her eyebrows in surprise. She slipped her feet carefully out of bed, lightly touching the floor. She had gotten most of her body out of bed when a voice seem to interrupt her concentration.
"Where are you going?" Said Inuyasha from behind. Kagome froze, turning her head slowly around. "Oh, Inuya—" "Get back in bed," he ordered. Kagome quickly climbed back into the covers. "But I'm..." Her stomach gave a loud roar, "...hungry." She blushed slightly. Inuyasha walked to her door, not even looking behind as he traveled downstairs.
Several clanks and clattering of loud noises were heard down in the kitchen for several minutes. Later Kagome couldn't help but laugh as Inuyasha came with a tray in hands and slightly sloppy looking rice and miso soup atop it. He grunted, and Kagome felt a little bad for laughing when he had tried so hard to make food for her. She finished with a goofy grin, feeling rather special.
"Thanks, Inuyasha," she said kindly.
"Your...welcome," replied he. Kagome did not want to lie down right after a meal (as she would be a hypocrite for blaming Inuyasha or doing so) so instead she started a conversation.
"Inuyasha...I'll be baby-sitting on Friday night...not that far away. I think I'll be ok by then, don't you?" She asked. He cocked his ears towards her thoughtfully. "Depends, I guess. You look like you're doing better but I don't wanna jinx it or nothin'," he answered truthfully. Kagome felt these words to be uplifting. Maybe (since Inuyasha had said she had looked well) she had a chance of keeping the job.
"Well," she said, "I guess we'll see..."
Sorry everyone for the short chapter! But I wanted to let you know that I am not letting the story go by any means!
