A/N: Okay, I got to many reviews about how'd they like to see the next installment, and I gave in. I was planning on keeping this a one-shot, but, things don't always go as planned, I guess. Thank you all who read and those who especially reviewed, because being a writer that's what I feed off of, nothing feels so much better than someone praising your work. I have yet to find a better joy in my life. (Except maybe drawing....)

This second chapter is going to be on Kagome and InuYasha, and the third when they return. I am strictly keeping only three chapters, or three "books" as you might call them. If you want, I may write a sequel, but we'll see.

The buzz of traffic, laughing children, polluted skies, skyscrapers...these are the very things that Tokyo was known for. And amongst all of the noise and lives and bustle of this huge city, InuYasha and Kagome were...

Well, Kagome was sitting on the entrance to her family's shrine. InuYasha, however, was a different story....

"C'mon, InuYasha! Don't make me say the 'S' word!" The raven-haired girl warned, he long hair rippling over her shoulders, framing her pretty face and bringing out her lush deep brown eyes.

"Keh...I'm going, alright?!" Muttered the hanyou, grumbling as his slightly bow legged gate took him over next to her, his unruly silver hair shocking the dark haired Japanese population. He adjusted the hat he was supposed to wear, cursing mildly under his breath.

"Hmmm...what should we do first?"

"Go back home?" InuYasha implied, glaring at a passerby tourist pointing at him and asking his companion, 'Is that normal here?'

"I told you, this is supposed to be fun! It will be alright."

He didn't believe her, 'hmph'ing slightly.

"Are you hungry?" She asked him, turning his attention from the tourist.

"Huh?"

"I said, are you hungry."

"Feh. No..." He crossed his arms stubbornly, but his stomach betrayed him, rumbling loudly. Kagome raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go get something to eat." She tugged his wrist before he could reply and all but dragged him down the steps. "Remember, no hitting people. No killing anyone. We are civil." Kagome spoke slowly, as if talking to a child. She had noticed his death stare earlier. She started walking, urging him to follow.

"Wait, we're just gonna walk there?" InuYasha complained, attracting some stares.

"Yeah, what else would we do?"

"This." He swept her into his strong arms-bridal style-and leaped into a tree and out of sight.

The tourist took a careful look at his can of beer before following his guide.

"InuYasha!" Kagome tried to scold, but was failing miserably. He leapt out of the tree and onto a building. She clutched him tighter. "Someone could see us!"

"Yeah, so?" He asked her, looking down. She pressed herself against him further, god she shouldn't have looked down. A faint blush began to heat across InuYasha's face, and he wished the goddamn hat would cover it.

"Are you blushing?" She teased, the wind ruffling her hair slightly.

"No! Don't flatter yourself, wench! You're the one pressing up against me!"

"You're the one who brought me up here, deal with it!"

He couldn't have her have the last word.

"Feh..."

"Now...umm...we want to get to a place called WacDonald's, and then we can go to the park and eat there. You'll probably be claustrophobic under a low roof with lots of people. "

"Claustri-"He shook his head, ridding himself of the strange word. "Uh...where is this place?"

"About three building's down." She paused, waiting for him to take off. "What?"

"Quit doing that!"

"Doing what?"

"Clinging to me like that!"

"To bad, I'm up a hundred feet, deal with it if you don't like it!"

"That's the thing, you bitch! I do like it!" Upset at himself for spilling such information, InuYasha took off, a blushing Kagome in his arms.

The worker eyed InuYasha warily before asking, "May I take your order?" InuYasha snarled at her. Kagome smiled nervously.

"Ignore him. He's...you know...one of those special-ed cases...." She cleared her throat, looking at the menu. "Do you like chicken?" She sounded the words out slowly, making vivid arm motions.

"What the hell -" She slapped a hand over his mouth. It only made him madder.

"We'll take 32 chicken nuggets to go."

"32?" The clerk confirmed, raising an eyebrow at the fuming InuYasha. By now, the remaining people in the line wisely chose to go to a different register.

"Yes, please." In minutes they got their food, InuYasha shouting death threats as Kagome pushed him out into the parking lot.

"SIT!" (Thud) "I told you to act nicely!"

"But...she was...staring at me! I swear, she's some sort of demon...and what the hell was with the 'special-ed' crap?" InuYasha yelled, after the spell wore off.

"It was nothing..." She sighed, shifting the bag of chicken in her arms. "C'mon, let's eat at the park."

"Tell me where to go..."He grumbled, before picking her up and leaping onto the nearest roof top. Kagome snickered, as she pressed closer to his warm chest, making him flush and moan a little in annoyance.

The tourist, stopping by the fast food restaurant for a late lunch, stared at the imprint in the tar, flipping out his cell phone to call the mental ward.

"This is actually not that bad." InuYasha commented, licking his lips before grabbing another nugget. "Not as good as Ramen though." They sat under the largest tree and ate in the grass, the cool shade felt good after being in the hot streets. Few people were scattered around the small park, it was a workday, after all.

"I'm glad you like it." Kagome smiled from beside him, then taking a bite into the tender but crunchy chicken. InuYasha glanced over at Kagome, she really has been pretty patient with him. She just had to explain how the whole 'fast food' thing and how that hard stuff that covered the streets were made and worked.

"Y'know, your time isn't so bad...if it weren't for these damn hats..." He scratched his head idly; a tad bit more than annoyed. Kagome didn't like it either; it shaded his amber eyes and his cute ears. She looked around cautiously; everyone around seemed pretty absorbed...and they were away's into the trees, meaning no one on the street could see them. If worse came to worse, InuYasha could just knock them out...

She hesitated, but then just took the cap off, much to his relief. She couldn't resist. Those ears...so cute... She reached up, scooting closer, and rubbed one tenderly. Ah...pure bliss. InuYasha growled warningly in his throat.

"I hate it when you do that..."

"Aw, c'mon, you know you like it."

"No, I don't." He jerked away, almost missing her hands...no, no, no...He repeated to himself.

"Sit!" He was plummeted to the ground, his face hitting the soft grass.

"That is not fair!" He complained, throwing his head from the dirt. He began to growl softly again, with just a hint of affection as Kagome pushed his head onto her lap, tweaking his ears now with both hands.

"I love your ears..." She giggled, as the rumble grew louder. "Now I know you enjoy it."

"Feh..." He replied, casting his gaze across the sun-dappled trees. Gradually his body grew less tense, Kagome was safe here. And she was rubbing his ears. He had his head on her lap. No one could rub his ears like Kagome...he closed his eyes, the warmth of her body radiating his face. Life was good.

She laughed again. "You're so cute!"

"I am not cute!" he argued, tearing himself away from his peace.

"Whatever..." She sighed, leaning her back against the tree, looking down at him fondly. She had stopped rubbing his 'cute' ears. A small whimper escaped his throat, as he turned his head around to face her. She smiled and began massaging again, much to his contempt.

"I knew you liked it. Anyways...I wonder what everyone else is doing back in the feudal era..."

"Keh, the monk is groping, the slayer is slaying, and Shippo is chasing butterflies amongst the violence." He mused roughly, turning over onto his back and folding his hands across his chest, using Kagome's lap as a pillow. His golden eyes wandered throughout the branches of the tree, the leaves swaying in the slightest breeze.

Silver hair spilled across her lap as Kagome happily, now absent-mindedly, stroked his ears.

"I guess so...InuYasha?"

"What?" His voice lost some of the usual venom. He hated himself for it.

"Did you like today so far? You know, just spending time with me?" He focused his gaze on her face, her expression he couldn't separate from longing or sadness.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know what to think anymore..." A single tear dripped from her fair face and landed on his.

"Wha-don't cry Kagome...you know I hate it..." he sat up abruptly, ignoring the head rush as he sat up next to her. With a slight hesitation he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, a large shudder passing through them. Her bangs hid her eyes as her head tilted forward.

"I just...don't know anymore, Inuyasha...tell me, are you wasting your time?" She looked up at him, her breath coming short. The hanyou was bewildered, in a state of shock. Automatically, before he could calculate what he was doing, he shoved her into a rough hug, burying his face into her neck, where he hair fell around his face, inhaling her sweet scent, tainted from her tears.

"I'm not sure, Kagome. I am not worth your time, a hanyou as my self. Yet, you always seem to give it to me..." His voice was barely above a whisper, his lips brushing her neck as he spoke giving her pleasant shivers down her back. "I couldn't ask for anymore, today has been wonderful, and it's not even half over."

After one long sniff, he pulled back, shocked at himself for saying it. But Kagome didn't let go.

"Kagome...?" He asked, craning his neck to see her expression. A huge wave of relief swept over him, she was smiling.

"InuYasha..." She whispered, squeezing him tighter. Now that he was self conscious, he began to flush again, pushing her as gently as his reputation would allow away.

They sat there for a moment, avoiding the others gaze awkwardly until Kagome looked up, surprised to find it around four.

"Let's go home..."

At the house...

They stood in front of the well, looking down at it.

"Do we have to go back...today?" Kagome yawned; it was later than she thought. Her mom had forced them to eat a 'good' dinner before they had to go.

"You tired, wench?"

"Yeah." She stretched her arms. InuYasha scowled, but gave in.

"Fine, you go sleep."

"No. I can sleep over there." She gestured at the well.

"No, you won't. That pathetic excuse for a monk will keep you awake with his wandering hands."

"No, I want-" She started for the well, but InuYasha scooped her up and in three bounds was up the tree and in her room. She struggled, giggling slightly, as InuYasha pinned her on the bed.

"Go to sleep. Now. I can't afford to have a sleep-deprived weakling fighting demons." He growled, his breath warming her face.

"Whatcha gonna do about it?" She taunted, wriggling again. InuYasha smirked, hoisting her over his shoulder and pulling back her covers. "Ah! InuYasha!"

"Shaddup! You wanna wake up the whole damn house?" He threw her onto the bed, making it squeak in complaint as he pinned her again, straddling her waist and pulling the covers over them.

Kagome thanked the darkness for hiding her blush.

"Go to sleep." He commanded, his strong hands pinning her shoulders and his legs spread out to the either side.

"Fine, I'll go to sleep. Jeez, you'd think you were my parent..."She grumbled, struggling once more.

"Where do you think your going?"

"I'm getting my pajama's on." She informed, he reluctantly let go, not trusting her. She hopped out of bed.

"Don't look." She warned, changing quickly as Inuyasha made himself comfortable on the far side of the bed, facing the wall. She slipped back in; her small frame clad in a soft tank top and pj pants. She rolled over, meeting his back.

"Umm...InuYasha?"

"What now?"

"Aren't you going to leave?"

"What for? Not until you go to sleep. You can't be trusted." He rolled over, meeting her shadowed face. Kagome giggled. If only he knew... Sighing, and content with InuYasha's bulk lying only a half a foot away, Kagome drifted into sleep. For a few minutes, that is.

"Kagome?"

"Mmm...what...? InuYasha?" She opened her groggy eyes to find his face one inch from hers.

Oh god.

Was the thought that passed through her head.

"What's wrong?" She became more alert. He looked weird, something was wrong.

"I'm sorry..." He whispered.

"For what?" She asked, and then realized what it was. He was human. It must be a new moon. No longer did amber eyes stare back at her, but rich caramel ones.

"Everything..." He rolled over. "Go to sleep now." She obeyed, to confused to obligate.

Kagome blinked her eyes open, sweet sunlight poured into her bedroom, bathing everything in golden light. She glanced at InuYasha, his silver hair returned...and his ears. Did she dare...? Yes...She softly, stifling her laughter, rubbed the nearest ear, his facial expression changed as he growled softly and muttered,

"Kagome..." And leaned into the touch. She giggled, and his eyes immediately shot open.

"Ack!" He flung himself backward, springing out of bed and hitting the wall, falling back down again. Kagome laughed, her legs kicking wildly in amusement.

"Kagome..." She imitated, making him fume. He growled. "Don't worry, I thought it was sweet..." She reassured him. He rolled onto his side, propping his face up by his elbow.

"Don't do that."

"You're the one who fell asleep with me." He flushed at the statement.

"Your bed is to comfortable, damn it."

"You know you turned human last night, right?" She inquired, and he froze. Apparently he thought it was a dream of some sort.

"What of it, wench?"

"I appreciate your apology, for what I don't know..." She sighed. "But it's pretty rare that you actually apologized in the first place."

"I DID NOT apologize."

"Yes you did!"

"I know what I say, Kagome!"

"And I know what I hear!"

"You sure about that?!"

"SIT!"

"ARGGG! SHUT UP!"

"You shut up!"

"I'll make you shut up!" With that he lunged toward her, kissing her passionately. It took her a second to respond, the shock clear, but she did, wrapping her arms around his neck. He pulled away, his breath and words coming hurriedly,

"I'm...sorry, I couldn't...We shouldn't...I mean, Kikyo, she-" He was cut off by Kagome's lips meeting his, closing the gap between them psychically by pressing against him, and he returned the embrace, rolling on top of her and deepening the kiss, finally letting go.

"InuYasha, it's alright." She whispered into his chest, as he stroked her hair.

This time, he would believe her.
