A/N; Sup guys. Still don't own Inuyasha or any other anime. sigh (begins to sob uncontrollably.) Sorry! My last and logest chapter. Full of fluff 'n stuff! Aww so sweet. Ahhh!I don't want to end it, but I must! My poor cousin..she must dread all my e-mails now! Don't worry Jen!From now on, I'll send you nice happy messages cousin. Ignore the weird writing. Inside to cover laughterI'm sorry. someone throws rock at the madames head "Get on with it!" many far off voices cry out. Oh, heh heh, sorry.. rubs head

Sango laughed to herself slightly. "They woke up, I hear."

Kagome shuffled into the kitchen a moment later, yawning. "Hey Sango and...Miroku!?!?" she cried, pulling her nightgown down quickly upon seeing his hentaied smile. She darted out of the kitchen and in a flash she was back again in her school uniform. "You guys want me to help you make breakfast?" the miko asked her friends who were trying to figure out how you eat cereal.

"Much obliged!/ thanks much!" Sango and Miroku both said at the same time. They never had eaten breakfast so late in the afternoon before, but if she was gonna feed them, they weren't complaining.

After her friends were settled and happily munching on cheerios, she looked in the living room to check on Inuyasha. He was having a loosing battle between a feather and his nose. The feather would go up, fall back on his nose, he would blow and the whole thing would start over. After a minute or so of this, he began to get angry and started to swat randomly at the feather. Sighing, Kagome strode over and plucked the feather out of the air. "You want breakfast?" she inquired, smirking.

Now a light shade of red, the demon looked down and muttered a small "Hai."

Kagome couldn't watch him eat, it was gross! Inuyasha sat shoveling his fourth bowl of cereal in his mouth. She didn't see how he could eat that and not burst! He had already had four cold pop tarts.

"You had better not throw up on my carpet." the girl stated as the demon slammed the bowl down.

"Oh shut up, you wench." Inuyasha spat, pushing the bowl across the table.

Frowning, Kagome glanced at her watch. "Five 'o clock!?!!? It's that late?!?1 Oh crap, we gotta clean up! My mom and Sota will be home soon. Oh no you don't, your going to help me clean!" she cried grabbing Inuyasha's robe as he was about to dart outside.

"Crap."

The demon was not a happy camper considering he had to wash the dishes. He ate a lot, so what?!?!? Why did he have to wash all this crap!!?!

Miroku had to make up Sota's bed and clean up all his drool of the den floor.

Sango was cleaning up Kagome's room, considering the miko was trying to do 100 things at once.

"Gotta clean gotta clean gotta clean gotta clean...." Kagome was crying as she ran around her house dusting, picking up, putting back.

"Kagome, calm down! When are your parents supposed to be here anyway?" Inuyasha cried grabbing her arms.

"Let me go! Let me go this instant! I have to clean!" she cried. "Gotta clean gotta clean..." she began muttering again.

Inuyasha sighed, "Baka, the house is clean. Can I go home?"

"Fine! All of you out! Go away and let me clean!"

"Kagome, listen to me!" he snapped spinning her around to face him. "You've been cleaning two hours! It's already seven 'o clock! Miroku and Sango have gone home! Your house is spotless! If you scrub it anymore, you start sanding your wall away!" he cried.

"Ok, f...fine.N...no more cleaning." Kagome stammered trying to shut off her cleaning gene. "I'll just go sit down." she muttered shuffling into the den. Seeing it was already dark, she went to turn on a light. "Crap! The electricity is still out."

"Hey Kagome! I'm going home."

"Oh, uh, s...sure." she replied, huddled up on the couch. She was thinking about that movie again.

"Hey, are you ok?"

"Hmm, oh, uh, I'm fine."

Sighing, he walked over to the couch and sat down. "I'll stay with you till your family gets back."

"No, you don't have to." Kagome replied, secretly glad he had offered. "I'm fine."

"Sure."

Frowning, Kagome turned away from him.

"Uh, Kagome?" the demons voice asked, slightly hesitant.

"Hai?"

"Um, was what you said last night really true?" It had been bugging him all day whether she had been telling the truth.

"What...what do you mean, Inuyasha?"

"I meant what it sounded like!"

Kagome flushed slightly upon remembering the conversation they had had last night. "Well, I...uh...well, you see-" she stuttered nervously.

"Yes or no Kagome!" the youkai cried beginning to get impatient.

"Can we just not talk about it, ok?" the girl snapped, turning farther away from him.

Frowning, Inuyasha clamped his mouth firmly shut and sulked on the couch. Fine, she could act like that, but it was all her fault he'd been thinking about her all day. Why did she have to go and tell him that last night with the chance she might not even mean it?

Kagome sat fidgeting with her fingers nervously. 'Oh, why did I even tell him that last night,' she thought,' I mean, what if he doesn't feel the same way?'

"Inuyasha?" the miko inquired, turning around slowly.

"What?" was the angry reply.

"Sumimasen, I shouldn't have snapped at you. I...I don't know. I guess I just kinda, well...never mind!"

"Look, now don't start that again Kagome!" Inuyasha cried grabbing her shoulders and staring her straight in the eye.

Kagome sighed. When he used her real name that way, it meant she had better do as she was told or suffer the consequences. "I...I know that...Well, I fear rejection, ok!! Happy now?!? And if you are through toying with my feelings than I suppose you leave! I think you have humiliated me enough!" She cried, pulling back.

"No, I-"

Kagome frowned suddenly.

"No wait, I meant...wait, what were you talking about 'toying with your feelings'? What kinda crap is that?" the demon cried, now standing up.

Kagome flushed lightly and looked down. "I mean how you told me you wanted a picture of me. I thought you actually wanted it for a special reason, or-"

Inuyasha choked slightly. "You thought that I...and you...that I-" he squeaked out.

"Well hai! I actually thought you had some feelings for me then. I also thought that you really wanted to kiss me last night since you didn't protest much." she added looking down.

"Baka! I only kissed your finger didn't I?"
"Well hai, demo that's not the point."

"Then what's the point?"

"Forget it! Just drop it, ok!"

The two frowned and sulked on separate sides of the couch.

"Baka!" Inuyasha muttered harshly.

"Shut-up!" the girl hissed back, fuming slightly.

After about another hour, they were still sitting back to back pouting. This time Inuyasha was the first to give in.

"Look, Kagome,"

"Leave me alone!"

"Baka, I'm trying to apologize so just shut it, ok!" he said through clenched teeth.

"Fine, you can proceed." Kagome replied in an airy manner.

"Look, I'm sorry for whatever I did. I'm sorry if I made you think that you really mean something to me."

Kagome furrowed her eyebrows. "Oh. Arigato for clearing that up for me."

"No Kagome! I didn't mean it like that! I meant it as, well, I actually do care for you, but I don't know what feelings I have." he answered truthfully.

"So what exactly are you saying?" Kagome replied, her features softening.

"I'm trying to say," he began," that I, well I do like you."

"Oh. You only like me." the girl repeated softly, her eyes shimmering. She moaned softly. "I knew it." she muttered softly to herself.

Well, sadly muttering doesn't work when you have a dog demon.

"What do you want from me!?! The whole truth!?!?" Inuyasha cried aloud without meaning to.

"You mean...you were lying?" Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha flushed slightly.' Darn, didn't mean to say that.' he thought. "No, I wasn't actually fibbing Kagome," he said looking away, "I just didn't tell the whole truth." he continued before Kagome could reply. "I do care for you. A lot. Ok fine, a real lot. I don't know what I'd do without you...Kagome."

Kagome sat, her mind and heart racing. Did he mean that? Was he fibbing? He wasn't mean enough to actually lie that much was he? He actually felt something for her. All these thoughts raced in her.

At an impulse, she lunged herself at him in an attempt to give him a hug, but she accidentally ended up kissing him in the process.

"Sumimasen! Sumimasen! That was an accident, I swear! The kiss, that is!" she cried when she saw his shocked confused expression. Now it was Kagome's turn to be in shock as Inuyasha pulled her back and firmly planted a purposeful kiss on her lips.

He pulled back from the kiss, but not the hug. Kagome was speechless. The room was swaying and it was hard to catch her breath.

"Inuyasha, I-" she started in shock.

He just shrugged her off and settled back on the couch. Yawning, he placed his arms behind his head and winked before he closed his eyelids slightly.

Kagome smiled to herself as the demon's weariness overtook him and he dozed off.

"I don't see how you can sleep now!" the girl giggled, "Demo, on the other hand." Yawning herself, she settled herself by Inuyasha's side, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Night Kagome." Inuyasha muttered as she to began to doze off.

"Mom, the lights don't work!" Sota pointed out flipping a light switch.

"They must have gone out in that storm the other night. I hope Kagome's ok. I wonder where she is at." Mrs. Higurashi replied. "Kagome? Kagome, where are-oh! How cute." she giggled upon entering the den. There was Kagome next to Inuyasha, leaning on his shoulder sleeping, him lightly snoring as he loosely held Kagome's waist. Pulling a disposable camera out of her purse, she snapped a picture.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly upon hearing her name. "Mom?" she asked groggily.

"Hey sweetie." Mrs. Higurashi replied, standing in front of her giggling.

"What's so funny?" the girl replied yawning. Suddenly she remembered Inuyasha and hastily jumped up, jerking Inuyasha awake in the process.

"Oh, sumimasen! I didn't mean to wake you two! You guys looked so cute! Mrs.Higurashi commented smiling. The miko and demon both blushed slightly.

"I'm going home Kagome. Uh, see you later, I guess." he muttered, dashing toward the door. Her family made him uncomfortable. He didn't make it too far before something was wrapped around his legs.

"Hai, Inu-oni-chan is here!" the little boy cried happily.

Sighing, Inuyasha replied, "Hello Sota."

"I'm glad you're here Inu-oni-chan! I've got stuff to tell you!" the boy squealed.

Inuyasha sighed sadly.

"So how was your weekend honey? Did you study?" Mrs. Higurashi inquired as Kagome and her unpacked clothes.

'Eep, I didn't study!' Kagome thought in panic, "Uh, it was great mom." she replied hastily.

"I figure you an Inuyasha had a good time." the woman chuckled.

Kagome turned a deep red," What do you mean?" she inquired.

"Well I know you and your cute eared friend don't sleep together often."

"We were not 'sleeping together' as you put it." Kagome cried.

"Calm down honey, I didn't mean it like that. I know you two just don't end up together like that often."

"Oh, it was nothing." the girl replied as her mom put things away in the medicine cabinet. Mrs. Higurashi smiled as she watched her daughter touch her lips and smile to herself, and for a mom, that says it all.
