A/N: I do not own Inuyasha..today..untill the day I overturn the company that prcocesses it and take it all for myself and flying monkeys. Wait, uh, heh heh, never mind...
Plus some of you have asked for sweet moments with Kagome and Inuyasha. Good for you, some here and in my next chappie, which is the last. boo hoo!
Kagome laid wide awake in bed. She wasn't as sleepy as she thought. Maybe it was the horror movie? To tell the truth, Inuyasha had helped you feel safe considering she hadn't given it a thought since the well, until now that is. She kept seeing that monster tearing out that guys spine, and each time she shuddered. 'I wonder if he's sleeping yet.' she thought to herself. Glancing down at the floor, she saw Sango sleeping soundly on her pallet. Jumping lightly from her bed, the raven-haired girl tiptoed to the hall and down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom, she dimly saw his outline become clearer. She was right, he was sleeping, but uh, he didn't look very comfortable.
Inuyasha did not like not being able to sleep in his trusty tree. After trying several positions, he had finally slumped over the back of the couch in exhaustion, which is where the girl now found him, snoring gently, his hair sweeping the floor.
Kagome couldn't contain herself. I mean, come on! Who could! You walk downstairs to see some guy leaning over the back of your couch, nose pressed into the back, arms dangling, and to top it all off, snoring? Seriously, who wouldn't giggle? Needless to say, that's what Kagome did. She giggled, which eventually turned to laughter, which eventually turned to a mixture of giggling and laughing together.
Inuyasha snapped his head up, but he couldn't see a thing. 'Oh my gosh, I'm blind! No wait, that's my hair.' he thought pushing his hair away to see this human making a fool of her self, rolling around on her floor, and in a short nightgown at that.
"You shouldn't be rolling like that, you green undies are showing." the demon snapped.
Kagome stopped laughing and turned a deep red. Grabbing her nightgown, she tucked it between her legs. "Sumimasen, did I wake you."
"Depends, did you bring a monkey in here?"
"No, why?"
"Then it was you."
Kagome frowned slightly. "Arigato, I feel so loved."
Inuyasha turned a deep red. He was glad it was dark even though he knew she had meant it in sarcasm, but well, never mind.
"Hey, how come you're still awake? You're the one that sent all us to bed."
"Oh, uh," Kagome stammered. Why hadn't she been able to sleep? Oh, now she remembered. "Remember that movie I was telling you about? Well that, plus the storm is still raging outside."
"Oh."
Standing up, the miko fumbled he way to the couch and sat down next to Inuyasha, who was now sitting correctly.
"Arigato."
"Huh?"
"I said arigato for staying with me. No matter how much horror movies scare me, I still love watching them."
"Why? It's baka."
Looking over at the demon, Kagome replied truthfully. "Well, you scare me sometimes demo I still like to be with you." hastily she added "As friends."
Inuyasha frowned. He scared her? How, what had he done to make her afraid of him? "Uh, what do you mean you're scared of me?"
"I mean, well, sometimes you can you know, be a little mean and rough and well, you just scare me sometime, ok?"
He could tell that wasn't the whole truth. There was something else. "You're lying. There's something else to!"
Kagome sighed. "Well, when you fight, it scares me. Every time I get scared. I...I don't know. I mean, I know you can beat all those demons, it's just that when you get hurt, even though I know you heal easy, I get frightened that you won't. Then what would I do, you know? I just kinda...you know..." the girl said, now fidgeting with the bottom of her nightgown.
Inuyasha was getting confused now. What exactly was she trying to say? "No, I don't know. I can't read minds." he snapped. He was really starting to get impatient. Why couldn't humans just say what they wanted and get it over with?
"Well!?!? Come on wench, answer me!"
"Don't call me that!" Kagome cried. "Look, what I am trying to say is really hard for me, but here goes! It's just that I really like you, ok? You happy now!?" she was panting heavily. Uh, wait. Why was he smirking? He wasn't supposed to be laughing at her! What was wrong with him? "What is so dang funny?"
"You really are a liar! You told me the story was based on fictional characters."
Kagome frowned. "You aren't very bright are you?"
The demon was now the one frowning. "What? Are you saying I'm baka?"
"I'm not, but you just did." the miko said in an annoying I-told-you-so voice.
A deep growl formed in his throat. "You baka! I said I'd kill you!"
The miko was now the one smirking. In her hands, she held a fat decorative pillow. "I think not, dog boy."
A huge sweat drop was rapidly forming on Inuyasha's forehead.
The sun was shining brightly the next morning, the ground a muddy mess. Sango yawned as she stumbled down stairs, stopping suddenly. So that's where Kagome had gone last night, and probably the reason for all the cursing and Kagome's laughter she had heard. Sprawled out on the floor was a very happy Kagome and a slightly angry looking Inuyasha. Kagome was sleeping peacefully, her head rising and falling with Inuyasha's breathing seeing as she had her head lying on the honyou's stomach. In her hand was a huge pillow and a few feathers were scattered around.
"I don't think I'm gonna ask." she mused aloud, shuffling off to the kitchen. Next to come down was the monk, who now was no longer gay and very happy. "Ho ho hum, and a cute woman's bum. Oi, cheeze and crackers!" he cried to himself upon seeing his friends lying on the floor.
"You hentai, you have such a filthy mind." the huntress said, sticking her head through the opening between the den and kitchen.
"Sango, darling!"
"Don't call me darling!" the huntress replied ducking back into the kitchen, soon followed by Miroku.
Inuyasha snapped his eyes open, yawning slightly. "Ow, I feel like I just got sat 10 times." he muttered, rubbing his forehead. Noticing the added weight to his stomach, he looked downward to see Kagome's tusouled black hair rising and falling with his breathing. He didn't wanna just shove her off, but he kinda wanted to get up. So, instead he sat up as much as he could without moving her and began poking her head slightly. "Kagome? Uh, Ka-go-me! Kagome!!""Ahhh!"
WHACK!
Kagome struck out wildly, smacking Inuyasha in the face.
"You idiot, I think you broke my nose!" he whimpered, hands clamped over his nose.
"Oh, Inuyasha! Sumimasen! Sumimasen!" the girl cried, leaning over, she tried to pull his hands away from his nose, but he pushed her off. "Don't touch me." he hissed.
"I said sumimasen." Kagome muttered leaning on her hand.
All she heard in reply was mumbling.
