Previously, On Punk Mikos And Demonic Preps: "I used to come to this shrine when I was little. I could smell your scent coming from this direction and I followed it. I remembered you saying something about a shrine on class and so I knew where to go."
"Oh. Cool." Kagome opened the door and led him inside.

Chapter Seven
Raindrops
Inuyasha was drenched and dripping on Kagome's rug, as was Kagome.
"Oops, Mom's gonna kill me. Wait here for a sec." She disappeared upstairs. A few minutes later she came back with two large fluffy towels. She handed one to Inuyasha and then proceeded to dry herself off vigorously. After Inuyasha finished drying as much as he could with the towel, he shook himself, much like a dog who's come in from the rain. He sprinkled Kagome and her furniture with tiny droplets of water.
"Whoops. Sorry." He said with a sheepish look on his face. "Reflex.
"It's ok." Said Kagome, taking his actions in stride. "Want some food? I can make some ramen." Inuyasha started drooling. "I'll take that as a yes." Kagome giggled and went into the kitchen. Inuyasha followed.
He watched as she got out the lovely noodles and began to cook them. In a few minutes the food was ready and Kagome served it. Inuyasha dug in with relish. Kagome stared at him devouring his food before starting her own. She couldn't help noticing the way his still damp shirt clung to his chest, giving her a great view. 'Ok, I really have to stop thinking like this. I'm going all soft!' she thought. 'You're not going soft, you just like him!' another traitorous voice in her head said slyly. 'You know, I coulda sworn I'd gotten rid of you!' 'Nope. You just suppressed me. But I'm back. Ha ha!' Kagome rolled her eyes and shook her head to rid herself of her voices. Sometimes she wondered if she were crazy of if everyone had arguments with themselves.
Inuyasha noticed Kagome shaking her head as if to get rid of somebody. He raised an eyebrow. Maybe she had arguments with little voices in her head? Nah. He went back to his food. He had noticed that Kagome looked especially good when she was wet. Very sexy. But he couldn't think of her like that. It wasÉwrong. Wasn't it? 'I've really got to stop these kind of thoughts. It just makes it worse that she looks like Kikyo.' Inuyasha lost himself in thought of Kikyo, forgetting his food. They had been the quintessential couple, very much in love. She had always been a little cold but that was just her way. But then she broke his heart just to be with that other guy, Karasume. Bitch. He had changed for her. Become what he was now. And then she left him for the newest boy toy. Inuyasha quickly dispersed any thoughts of Kikyou and her new boyfriend and returned to eating with vigor.
"The storm still hasn't let up." said Inuyasha, scaring the crap outa Kagome, who had completely zoned out.
"Huh? Oh, great. It's even worse now. You may have to stay the night. Mom, Gramps and Sota are at my aunt's house tonight." Kagome said this all matter of factly, even though her heart was pounding inside. Inuyasha? Stay the night? In her house? Oh, Kami. He had the grace to look nervous.
"Um, ok." 'Oh, very smooth.' He told himself. 'I bet she'll just melt at that one.' 'Oh ho! So you want her to melt, do you?' 'No!' ' Uh huh. Right.' If Inuyasha could have punched himself, he'd have done it. He really, really, really had to stop arguing with himself. It got him nowhere.
Kagome led him up to her room after dinner. She made him sit down as she went to find him some night clothes. She came back with a pair of her father's sweats and a large t-shirt. Inuyasha changed while Kagome started her homework.
"You need help?" Kagome jumped. Inuyasha had come back into the room.
"Uh, if you wouldn't mind"
"No problem. Whatcha need help with?"
"Math." Inuyasha nodded and began to explain about parallelograms and rhombi while Kagome tried to keep up. After about an hour and Kagome's homework was done, (she'd done most of it in Study Hall) Kagome directed Inuyasha to Sota's room.
"You can sleep here. I'll wake you up in the morning."
"K."
Later that night, Inuyasha woke with a start. Something was outside and Inuyasha didn't like it. He moved into the hallway outside Kagome's room. Sitting down into a fighters night position, he fell asleep, his last waking thought to protect Kagome.
