Chapter 12: Giggle's and Feelings
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Kagome got in and her and Inu-Yasha said good-bye to Miroku as they headed down to their room. Kagome broke the silence.
"Do you think it's safe for me to sleep?"
Inu-Yasha looked down at Kagome and saw genuine fear in her eyes. He rolled his eyes. He didn't feel like sleeping in a stupid chair again.
"How about this. You sleep in my room and I'll sleep in yours. Just, don't touch anything. K?"
Kagome lightened up. A new room! He said she couldn't touch anything, he said nothing about looking. She smiled. She nodded ok.
"I just have to get ready for bed and then I'll knock on your door!"
Inu-Yasha said ok and they each headed into their rooms. Kagome took a shower and got ready for bed. She put on her nightgown and brushed her teeth. She fixed up her room. Inu-Yasha on the other hand, was trying to clean and Kagome proof his room. He shoved everything on the floor into the closet and he through all the clothes on the bed under the bed. It would have been very comical if Kagome had been watching this. Inu-Yasha just finished closing the dresser drawer when he heard a knock at the door. He didn't even have to open it to know it was Kagome. Inu-Yasha went to the door and opened it. His stomach twisted for some odd reason. Kagome was looking at him. She was wearing her skimpy nightgown and waiting for Inu-Yasha to let her in.
"Uhhh, Inu-Yasha?"
Inu-Yasha snapped back to reality and quickly moved so Kagome could get in.
"It's clean! Or is it all..."
Inu-Yasha blushed. Kagome went over to the closet and opened the door. Unlike he thought it didn't all fall out. It just threatened to. Kagome smiled.
"In the closet as I suspected."
She closed the door giggling. It was like Kagome had lived through everything and to her everything was a cliché. Inu-Yasha thought this was cute. He gulped when he looked again at Kagome. He'd seen her before in her nightgown. Why was now any different? He turned away and went for the door.
"I'll see you in the morning k? Oh and, don't touch anything."
Kagome managed a small whatever before Inu-Yasha left. She started to look around the room. She was tired and decided that she promised Inu-Yasha not to touch anything, so she didn't. She yawned and got into the bed. It was nice. It smelt like a newborn kitten. She loved that smell. She knew it so well because she remembered when her kitty Buyou had kittens. And they could have sworn she was a guy! She sighed. She noticed that Inu-Yasha also smelt like this. But she wouldn't tell him. No way. He was supposed to be a great dog demon. Not some fuzzy cute kitten. She fell asleep thinking about Inu-Yasha. Why?
When Inu-Yasha opened Kagome's room something hit him like a blast. His stomach twisted again. It was Kagome's scent. It was wonderful and everywhere. She smelt like blooming flowers. It was nice. He hated to admit it but he liked having her close so he could smell her. He scanned the room for something of interest. Nothing amused him so he just went to sleep, Kagome's scent lulling him into dreamland.

Inu-Yasha woke up early that morning to the sound of Kagome screaming. He quickly jumped out of the bed and ran to Kagome's room. Opening the door with great speed. Kagome was pointing at something on the floor looking panicked as she curled on the bed.
"IT'S A FREAKING HUGE SPIDER! KILL IT INU-YASHA! KILL IT!"
Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes and scratched the back of his neck. And he thought it was something serious. He looked at Kagome. She'd never do this if it were still a week before. She hated him and put up a great tough cover up. But it seemed like she felt she trusted Inu-Yasha enough. She needed trust. Assurance. She was one weird girl. Inu-Yasha walked over and stepped on the stupid spider. Kagome heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank-you."
"Kagome that, was a spider. I thought you were only afraid of Naraku."
Kagome looked at him.
"That spiders, and you!"
Inu-Yasha looked at her with hurt eyes. There was playfulness in her eyes though. He was scared of her? For some reason that comment felt like a knife through his heart. Kagome noticed this and ran over and hugged him. She whispered in his ear.
"I'm not scared of you. I couldn't be. You're my hero!"
Inu-Yasha blushed then hugged her back. He liked it. She was hugging him and he was enjoying every second. He still tried to smack away the thought of actually loving Kagome but it all came back when she was near. She looked up and smiled playfully.
"Your ears are twitching!"
She giggled which only made Inu-Yasha turn redder. Kagome reached up and started to scratch him behind the ear. It felt nice. Only his mother had ever used the same gentle touch to his ears. He pushed his head into her hand. She was great. Kagome giggled. A little puppy. She was scratching a little puppy. Inu-Yasha closed his eyes and smiled. There was a knock at the door and they both stopped. Kagome pulled her hand away, putting her hands behind her back and Inu-Yasha just stood there as the doorknob turned. The door opened revealing a curious Sango and Miroku. Both Kagome and Inu-Yasha turned beet red. Both Sango and Miroku smiled cheekily as they noticed this.
"What have you two been doing?"
Miroku smiled. And Sango did to.
"Don't you guys look innocent? Ok shows over. Now why is Kagome in Inu-Yasha's room in her nightgown?"
Inu-Yasha and Kagome both turned even redder if it was possible. Inu-Yasha was speechless and Kagome started to ramble. Her extreme feeling? Embarrassment.
"Me and Inu-Yasha switched rooms because I was scared that I might be killed during the night. And then I screamed because I saw a spider and Inu-Yasha heard and ran into the room and killed it and then you guys came and...and..."
She stopped when she noticed Miroku was eyeing her. Sango was grinning of course. Trying to think about what the truth was.
"Man, that nightgown is getting hotter and hotter each time I see you in it."
Sango punched Miroku and Kagome jumped behind Inu-Yasha.
"Inu-Yasha sick em boy!"
Inu-Yasha, who felt like a total idiot being treated like a dog, turned around and started arguing with Kagome. And Miroku and Sango who were still at the door were also arguing. Finally Sango remembered why she and Miroku were there.
"HOLD IT! Everybody SHUT-UP!"
Everybody stopped and stared at Sango with confused eyes.
"Me and Miroku actually came here to tell you guys that you have to get ready for breakfast."
Kagome nodded but Inu-Yasha just stared. Sango dragged Miroku out of the room and shut the door. Kagome and Inu-Yasha listened to the foots steps disappear down the hall to the dining hall. When they could no longer here the footsteps they turned to one another and blushed.
"What...happened before..."
"Did not happen..."
Inu-Yasha nodded in agreement and they headed to freshen up. Kagome went to her room and put on a pleated skirt that stopped at her thighs and a baby tee that was pink and said baby on it. She put on a pair of hoop earrings and tied her hair in pigtails. She put on some bubblegum flavored sheer lip-gloss to finish off the look. Well, that and a pair of addidas. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a ditz but she didn't care. It was cute! She smiled and headed down to breakfast. She met Inu-Yasha on the way and tried to start a conversation.
"So, umm, what are you doing today?"
Inu-Yasha looked at her and smiled.
"Why do you wanna know?"
Kagome blushed.
"It's boring here. You seem to lead the most exciting life Mr. Hero!"
Inu-Yasha remembered what she said before about him being her hero. He blushed.
"It's not that exciting being me. I mean. You should get an award for most boyfriends."
Kagome smiled.
"It's not my fault that I'm hot and your not!"
Inu-Yasha faked a frown. Kagome started to run. Inu-Yasha was running after her. He had the advantage of being faster considering he was half demon, but he purposely slowed down for her. It was like they were playing tag, but Inu-Yasha loved being it. Kagome finally reached the dining hall and sat down, breathing heavily.
"I won!"
She smiled and Inu-Yasha sat across from her.
"It wasn't a race you silly girl"
Kagome giggled at his tone of voice. It was cute. The two had caught Miroku's' and Sango' attention when Miroku and Sango heard them bounding down the hall. Sango turned and looked at Miroku.
"Is there something going on between those two? Because I wanna know..."
Miroku was thinking the same thing. They were acting like a couple. Cute couples mind that. But he knew that if either Sango or himself brought it up it would be denied. The maids had been noticing this too. They were acting a young couple in love. Everyone noticed it. Everyone that is, except Inu-Yasha and Kagome. And for a moment everyone tried to believe that Inu-Yasha and Kagome were engaged not Kagome and Sesshomaru.
It was a stupid dream but might as well be true. Inu-Yasha did his usual routine of swallowing everything in sight and Kagome followed in suite. Miroku smiled, so did Sango. They could get used to this.
