Chapter 3: Awakenings

Kagome woke early the next morning to find herself in Inuyasha's arms.

"Na...nani?" Kagome thought to herself, not noticing that she had her arms around him too.

"I...I thought I was just a Shikon detector to him," she thought. Then she realized what she just said.

"Kagome no baka, he'll never feel the way you do. He just came to bring you back to find more shards." She almost cried at the thought, but held back her tears. Then Inuyasha shifted a little and twitched his ears. Kagome smiled slightly when she remembered the first day they met. She had had the strangest urge to rub his ears when she saw him, sleeping like a little puppy against the tree.

"Those ears are so kawaii," Kagome giggled softly, careful not to wake the sleeping puppy...her sleeping puppy. Inuyasha twitched his ears again and she couldn't fight the urge any longer. She reached up and began to gently rub his ears.

"They're so soft," giggled Kagome in her thoughts. Then Inuyasha shifted and pulled Kagome closer to him, still sound asleep. Kagome blushed and tried to pull away, but he held her closely and refused to let her go. Kagome blushed again and gave up trying to get away. She rested her head on his chest and could hear his heart beat. She closed her eyes and smiled. Then there was another noise, like a dull roar coming from his chest.

"Is he...purring?" Kagome thought, puzzled. "Can dog youkai do that?"

There was no doubt about it. Inuyasha, the super macho I'll-bite-your-head- off-if-you-get-to-close-to-me dog youkai, was purring! This made Kagome giggle and she finally relaxed in his arms. She looked up and noticed him smiling in his sleep. This made her smile too and she rested her head on his chest once again and slowly drifted back to sleep

Inuyasha slowly began to wake up and noticed a familiar scent. A scent that filled him with feelings no words could ever explain.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked down to the sleeping beauty he held in his arms. His heart almost jumped in his throat. She was resting her head on his chest and he held her in place.

"Na...nani? How did I...What did she..." Inuyasha flushed, slowly removing his arms from around her. Kagome stirred a little and Inuyasha stopped and put his arms around her once again and she relaxed.

"How am I going to get out of this one?" Inuyasha thought to himself. A cool breeze blew through the open window and the sunlight through the leaves caressed Kagome's face and hair, making her appear like a sleeping angel to Inuyasha...his sleeping angel.

"Damn, she's gorgeous," thought Inuyasha, brushing a piece of stray hair from his beauty's face. This made Kagome smile and nuzzled her head against his chest. Inuyasha smiled and blushed at the same time.

He stared in awe at the gorgeous creature lying next to him. He couldn't fight the urge any longer. He gently ran his fingers through her raven black hair.

"Heh, soft as silk," Inuyasha thought to himself, smiling. Kagome smiled and nuzzled again.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered again, this time leaning down he kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry..."

At this, Kagome hugged him around his waist, still smiling.

"I guess that means she forgives me," smiled Inuyasha, running his fingers through her silken black hair again.

"Kagome," Inuyasha heard Ms. Higurashi call.

"Shit," thought Inuyasha, hearing Kagome's mom coming up the stairs to her room.

Inuyasha slowly removed his arms from Kagome and got off the bed, quickly jumping out the window, but not before he gave Kagome one last kiss on her forehead. Ms. Higurashi entered her daughter's room and walked over to her.

"Kagome, sweat heart, it's time for school," she said, gently shaking Kagome. She slowly opened her eyes and yawned, then she looked around, trying to find Inuyasha.

"Come downstairs for breakfast once you get dressed, k?" Ms. Higurashi asked, sweetly.

Kagome nodded, still not awake enough to supply a worded answer. Ms. Higurashi smiled and closed the door behind her as she left Kagome's room. Kagome stretched and got out of bed, still thinking about Inuyasha.

"Maybe it was another dream," she sighed, not knowing that Inuyasha was watching her from the tree.
