Inuyasha held the bloody foot in his hand. "So much for her!" He said grinning at his kill.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded.

"What? If I hadn't have killed her she'd have killed you! Only because you're human! And I couldn't allow that!"

"Oh Inuyasha..." She said softly. She looked him deep in the eyes until he started blushing.

"Kagome? Are you in there?" He said waving a hand in front of her face.

"What? Oh I'm sorry... Daydreaming..."

All of a sudden they heard Sango scream. Inuyasha and Kagome leaped over to where she was sitting by a heavily breathing Miroku. Kagome kneeled down beside them.

"What happened? What's wrong?" She said in a panicky voice.

"He used his wind tunnel but her power is so strong that it's beginning to affect him," Sango said bending over him.

"I'll... Be... Fine..." He said breathing heavily between each word.

Inuyasha pouted, "What about me?" He said in barley a whisper.

And as is Kagome could read his thoughts she walked over to him. "I forgot you were hurt too... Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine... It's just a scratch..." He said covering up the deep gash in his arm.

"You're so full of crap Inuyasha! You know you're hurt now let me help!"

"All right! Calm down!" He said uncovering the cut. She stopped a gasp from escaping her throat but checked on it very carefully.

"How much does it hurt?" She asked quietly.

"Not too much just a little sting..." He said shrugging.

"Stop trying to be brave! Tell me how much it hurts!"

"Stop fussing!" He said but he was overjoyed that she cared.

"Not a chance Inuyasha, you look out for me all the time! I at least want to help!"

He pouted but followed her into the hut once again. She sat him down o the bed and examined it in the better light of the fire. She frowned when she looked at it. The feel of her hands over his arm nearly made him shiver. She dug into her yellow backpack and brounght out the First Aid Kit her mother had given her a long time ago.

"Kagome, really I'll heal by myself in a little while..."

She made him sit still as she applied some anti-bacterial that made him wince, and she put some fresh gauze and bandages on his wound. "Does that feel okay?" She said admiring her handywork.

"Yeah, it feels fine... Thanks..."

She stared at him for a minute. "Did you just thank me?"

"Uh... Yeah! Duh! You helped me... What am I not allowed to use manners anymore?!"

"When did you start?!"

"Whatever Kagome!"

"Why do you persist in fighting with me?"

"You're the one who started it!"

"I did not!"

Just then they heard a shuffling outside the door as Sango was trying to bring Miroku into the hut. Kagome got up at once and helped as Inuyasha moved off of the bed. They laid Miroku down. Sango put her hand on his head and frowned. "He has a fever..."

Kagome nodded and went outside to the stream in the woods. She brought the bucket with her, and Inuyasha (he insisted). She filled the bucket and started to walk back to the hut. "Why do you think that Miroku is being affected?" She said looking up at Inuyasha.

He was deep in thought and didn't catch what she said. "Inuyasha!?" She screamed.

"Why are you screaming at me? I'm right here!" He said stopping.

"I asked you why you thought Miroku was being affected."

"Did you? Sorry... I wasn't listening..."

"Obviously"

"Have we changed roles? Usually I'm the one fighting with you!"

"Yeah... I know... I don't know what's up with me today..."

"We better get back fast... Hop on my back," he said bending slightly so she could get on.

She got on and in a second they were on their way. They made in back tot eh hut in no time flat. Kagome rushed in with the water, some of which had spilled on the way.

"Sorry we lost some we wanted to get back," Kagome said as she entered the hut.

"That's okay," Sango said as she dipped a cloth in the water, she placed it over Miroku's forehead and waited for a while. He had lost consciousness while Kagome and Inuyasha were out getting water.

They waited for a while until Miroku started blinking. "What happened?" He asked softly.

"Don't worry, just get better, we'll explain everything later," Sango said shushing him.

He nodded and went to sleep. Sango insisted in staying with him so Inuyasha and Kagome had to go to the room Miroku was in that night. It only had one bed though...

(A/N- I would have stopped it here but since I'm going to be away for the weekend I'll make and extra-long chapter ok? Hope you like it)

Kagome frowned but Inuyasha shrugged. "I'll sleep on the floor, you can have the bed," he said pulling the sheets down for Kagome.

"That's not fair!"

"Well do you want to sleep on the floor?"

"No..." She said pondering.

"Well then..." He said sitting near the door.

"Well we can both sleep on the bed... I mean we're mature... Well I am anyway..."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" He asked with a smirk.

"Nothing..." She said with an evil smile.

"So you want to share the bed?"

"Umm... If you're cool with it then okay..."

"Well... Okay then..."

Kagome laid down on the bed and Inuyasha laid down beside her. It wasn't a big bed but it wasn't tiny either, they fit nicely.

Kagome sighed.

"What was the sigh for? Do you have enough room?"

"Oh yeah sure, Inuyasha can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Do you still love Kikyo?"

He thought about an answer for that question. "Kind of..."

"What do you mean 'kind of'?" She asked looking into his beautiful amber eyes.

"Well I know she's dead and that we can't be together, and I still think about her, I love her but I'm not in love with her."

"That was a really good answer Inuyasha, you're so different sometimes"

"How do you mean?" He asked a puzzled look on his face.

"You can be so possesive and jealous and pompous sometimes..."

"Well thanks!" He said cutting her off.

"I wasn't finshed!"

"Sorry!"

"And then some times you're so deep and caring."

"Well, I don't know Kagome, you seem to bring out the best and the worst in me..."

"How do you mean?"

"Never mind..."

"You brought it up! Let's hear it!" She said trying to get him to talk.

He sighed and started to speak. "Kagome I get jealous when you seem to care about someone else because I need you to care for me, I get pompous when I want to impress you and I get possesive because I don't want anyone else to have you."

"You say you don't want anyone else to have me right?"

"That's what I said."

"Well then what? Do you want to have me?"

Inuyasha went red in the face. "I don't know..."

"Figures..." She said shaking her head. "Well how do I make you caring?"

"When you need help I just have to help you, something inside me causes me to do it, and I'm deep when I need to explain something the right way without all the stupid things I would normally say..."

"Oh Inuyasha!" She said starting to cry she grabbed on to him and sobbed into his chest.

"What are you crying for?" He asked in disbelief.

She didn't answer she just kept on crying. He embraced her as best her could. She got up from his chest and wiped her tears. "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you sorry?"

"For crying like that on you!"

"Don't be sorry for that." He said wiping her tears a little better.

She smiled and he kissed the top of her head. "It's time for you to go to sleep, you've been through a lot tonight," he said as he pulled the blankets up to her neck.

"Good night Inuyasha"

"Good night Kagome" he said as he kissed her on the cheek one last time. Instantly she fell asleep.

There you go! Hope you liked it! But I'm late so I have to go! Enjoy... And REVIEW!
