Ok, I got a new style of writing. I call it, 'Adam's formula of writing that draws people in because it has detail' I think it's a catchy name for a style of writing. You could just call it DETAIL if you want.

Caught in between chapter 7 The Miroku breakthrough and the start of the fight over Inu

'Should I apologize? If I do, how will he react? Will he yell at me? Will he still think I hate hanyous?'

Kagome plopped herself down defeated on her bed. She went straight home from Sango's where she denied her mother explanations on why she was back from school so soon.

Flashback As soon as Sango and Miroku stopped arguing, Kagome asked. "Where's Kikyo?" Sango turned her head from the now injured Miroku to Kagome and replied. "She went off to find Inuyasha-"To tell the truth" Miroku interrupted, "She seemed to be more on Inuyasha's side than yours" He said calmly as a matter of fact. "Well.I can't really blame her, she's a miko like me and she must've heard what I said to him, you guys didn't hear the argument." Said Kagome sadly. "By the way, what DID happen.?" Sango asked. Kagome shook for a second or two and then burst into tears, running back home. End flashback

Kagome slowly cried herself to sleep. Too bad she fell into a deep slumber only moments before a sudden wind blew the white curtains open as Inuyasha leapt in. He stood by the window for a little while, taking a long look at the room's neat interior. It was all pretty, clean and perfumed like Kagome. He only had to wait a few more minutes before the satisfying spring breeze disturbed her sleep a little. He noticed some small stains on her cheeks, she had been crying a lot. 'I guess I can't be surprised that she didn't stay in school today after what I said to her.' Inuyasha thought slowly. He saw her move a little bit. Could he do it? How exactly would she react? He shook his head vigorously and jumped out the window just as she woke up. Kagome looked around, the window was open and the wind gracefully lifted her hair and she smiled lightly, ' the wind feels good.didn't I close the window?' She wondered. Miroku and Sango were still in her bedroom. "Don't get any ideas" Sango ordered bitterly. "Hard not to, were alone in your bedroom, one can only imagine what's going on in my head" Miroku commented sarcastically. "If who I am bothers you then throw me out" He suggested calmly. "Being a pervert isn't who you ARE, it's just an adjective" Sango contested. "A pervert is someone who takes things that are good and makes it bad" Miroku stated, "So how is that an adjective?" He asked. "Ok, so if who you are is a pervert, look at it this way, if you were a burglar, yourself is indeed a burglar, isn't it? Wouldn't you want to change something like that?" Sango inquired. "I would, but I'm not a burglar, I don't steal things" He replied. "You steal something every time you grope a girl, you steal their dignity and make them feel like an object" "Sango.is that how I make you feel? Like an object?" Miroku asked sadly. Sango felt just a teeny bit guilty. "Sometimes.when you're being a pervert." "Sango." He whispered, that went through his heart very harshly, "I'm so sorry, Sango please forgive me! I promise I'll never do it again!" Miroku pleaded desperately. "Relax Miroku! Don't be so urgent! I forgive you after every time you grope me" Sango said with a worried voice, what was with Miroku? "You do?" He asked, suddenly lighting up. "Yes, every time I slap you I feel a little bit better." "But you know that doesn't make it okay to grope me" She warned. "Well to tell you the truth Sango, my pervert attitude is only a part of me, no one is really 100% lecher" Miroku cleared. "I know that, see you're being nice to me right now" "I was always just joking around when I was being a pervert, I guess I thought it was funny, Sango, never again, if I had known before-" He was clobbered by a hug, "How can you be so nice? I feel like I'm dreaming!" Sango exclaimed, Miroku struggled not to get ideas of the meaning of what she just said.

Outside Inuyasha was pretty sure Kagome had not woken up yet, he leaned on the side of the house under her window and started humming a tune. 'I know that tune.. Who's humming that?' Kagome looked outside where she heard Inuyasha singing light enough so that it was barely audible until he rose the volume a little bit. "Left on an east bound train. Gone first thing this morning. Why's what's best for you, always the worst thing for me?" Inuyasha was a perfect mimic in voices. Kagome smiled warmly, he had come over, did he want to apologize? Inuyasha still didn't notice she was awake, "When am I gonna learn, why cause I'm tried of hating, when will it be your turn, why cause I'm tired of waiting. No I don't, No I don't, No I don't," Suddenly Inuyasha went into full throttle singing convinced that no one was watching. "Well No I don't find faith in your forced feelings, not fooled by your misleadings, won't buy the slime you're selling, tired of this lie you're telling, I won't, I don't, I don't do this anymore" Kagome felt a tear come down her cheek, a happy tear, she giggled a little and covered her mouth with a large smile. Inuyasha stopped, great someone was watching, he looked up, Kagome! He jumped up as he sang, "I won't, I don't, I don't do this anymore" He finished the last words softly as he landed and took Kagome into his arms. Kagome was totally shocked. "I'm sorry" He said quickly. "What?" Kagome asked, did he just apologize, she wasn't even sure he needed to. "I understand if you hate me, even if you don't hate hanyous , I just...I didn't want to say all those things to you, I'm sorry." He repeated. "Inuyasha I don't hate you at all! I'm so sorry for what I said" Inuyasha felt like he was dreaming, he sighed in relief, "So you'll forgive me then?" He asked hopefully as he released her. "So long as you forgive me" She replied, Inuyasha nodded and sat back on the windowsill. "By the way Inuyasha, you have a sexy singing voice" Aghh!!" Inuyasha was so embarrassed that he fell off the window all the way to the ground. "Inuyasha!! Inuyasha are you okay!?" Kagome screamed, "I'm fine" He grumbled from the ground. He rose up and dusted himself off, 'THAT was embarrassing' He thought with a blush. Kagome rested her elbow on the windowsill and her cheek on her palm, she smiled and said "You see? Hanyous are cute AND strong!" She complimented, Inuyasha blushed again, "Uh, thanks..Well, I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow then"

The very next morning. Kagome arose from her bed and wiped her eyes, she walked to the shower with her eyes closed and took a shower. She came out all perfect and energetic, she felt like this was a whole second first day of school. The carnival was tonight, she was going to ask Inuyasha to come with her, all was well. Kagome raced downstairs and out the door as she shouted her goodbye to her mother.

Inuyasha sat up and looked around, he chuckled as he looked at his clock, 10:00 AM, he wondered why nobody woke him up. He walked downstairs and called, "mom? Dad? Sesshomaru?" No one answered. "Probably went on another vacation without me" he muttered. He slipped on some new clothes and walked tiredly out the door.

The bell rang for second period as Inuyasha finally entered the school, he traveled to his locker slowly and stupidly. He growled in frustration as he failed to open his locker, he punched it and made a few dents. He clawed at the lock until it fell off. He took his books and went to his class. "Inuyasha you're late--"Shutup, I'm here aren't I?" Inuyasha asked. He walked to his desk and sat down. The teacher was about to talk again "Inuyash-"I said Shutup!!" Inuyasha screamed. He confused just about everyone in the class. "Get the hell out of my classroom" Mr. K ordered. Inuyasha stood up and walked out quickly. The class muttered, Sango, Miroku, Kikyo and Kagome were very concerned, suddenly, Miroku became enlightened. 'I see, so it's finally happened. It is his 17th birthday, the fool, he must've forgotten' Miroku thought with a chuckle. "Miroku, do you what's going on?" Sango asked, "I might. Excuse me Mr. K? May I be relieved of class? I believe I know understand why Inuyasha is acting strangely, it is a very extreme circumstance" Miroku said seriously, everyone looked at him. "You mean he doesn't NORMALLY act like this?" The teacher asked, "No, not exactly...may I?" He asked again, "Very well" Mr. K waved him off. 'NOW what's going on?' Kikyo wondered. "Inuyasha. Inuyasha!!" Miroku called. "What?!" He yelled, "When's your birthday?" He asked, "What, what the -"When the hell is it?!!" He interrupted loudly. "1987. September...6" He said very slowly, Miroku nodded. "Holy fuck!!! I'm seventeen??!!!" Inuyasha yelled. "Oh shit no no no no no no no no no no no, this isn't good, this is really really bad, this can't happen. Miroku, you gotta help me" Inuyasha pleaded. "THAT'S why no one was at my house, they wanted to give me the house for the day so I could bring back a girl and fucking have sex with her!" He screamed in horror. "Inuyasha, Miroku, are you ready to come back in now?" Mr. K asked as he opened the door. "Uhh, I dunno, lemme see" Inuyasha suggested. He peeked inside the classroom, he looked at everyone, especially the girls, well, he didn't feel any extra attraction than normal. "yeah, I think I'm ready, sorry 'bout that Jarrett" Inuyasha said, "That's Mr. K to you!" Mr. Ketterling replied. "Whatever"

At lunch, Inuyasha was extra careful not to pay attention to too many people. This thing would only last a day before he felt normal again. "How are you feeling?" Miroku asked and patted his hand on his back. "Like I took too much Viagra" He replied sarcastically. "Ahahaha, that's not good, try not to look at anyone ok?" Miroku asked. "Got it" "Hey Inuyasha, are you ok?" Kikyo asked. "Dandy" He replied. "You know, Kagome's having a party tonight at the shrine, she's invited all of us, wanna come with me?" Kikyo asked hopefully, "Sure, why not?" She squealed with joy. "did you just accept her offer?" Miroku asked as Kikyo left, "Yeah, I think I did" Inuyasha said obviously. "Was it because of the-"No, it wasn't, I'm not that out of control Miroku" Kagome inched over to Inuyasha, she found her courage and spoke, "Hey Inuyasha, the carnival is tonight, you wanna come with me?" She asked. "Sure, AHH!!" Miroku hit him on the head for being so stupid. "Kagome, I need to tell you something" Miroku whispered. "You better not be telling her about my problem" Inuyasha warned dully. "No of course not" Inuyasha was really stupid today, most of his brains left him. "You see, it's Inuyasha's birthday today, he's 17 now, do you know what that means?' Miroku asked quietly. 'Heeeee's...Not 16 anymore?' Kagome asked, Miroku sweat dropped, 'He's a Hanyou, at the age of 17, Hanyous seek mates and will accept anyone as long as they are fitting for him, he's already accepted Kikyo's request to go with her to the carnival. But I'm afraid I'm not going to let him go because he could do something he might regret' Miroku explained. Kagome sighed, she was so happy when she heard him say 'Sure'.

Carnival night. Miroku and Sango walked together at the carnival in the Higurashi shrine. "So, how DID you keep Inuyasha from going?" Sango asked. "I told him it was cancelled, he might get mad tomorrow but he'll thank me." "Where's Inuyasha?" Kikyo asked, "There he is!" She squealed and ran up to him. Miroku and Sango face-faulted "He's here?" Miroku asked, "This can't be good." "Miroku! You told me it was cancelled!" Inuyasha yelled. "I thought it was!" Miroku defended himself nervously. "You didn't tell me when you figured out it WASN'T cancelled?" He asked suspiciously. "Must've slipped my mind" "Whatever"

An hour later. "Hm, I thought Inuyasha wasn't coming." Kagome murmured as she looked at him and Kikyo joyfully have fun together. "Hey, guys, having fun?" Kagome asked happily. "Yeah" Inuyasha replied enthusiastically. "Can I uhh, talk to you, Kikyo please?" She asked. "Me? Sure" They walked a distance from Inuyasha leaving him bored. "Kikyo, do you know what's happening to Inuyasha? Did Miroku tell you?" She asked. "No, why, what's happening?" Kikyo looked back to see Inuyasha running away at a fast pace. "Wait! Inuyasha! Where are you going?" Kikyo called, she ran after him. "Oh, it's no use" Kagome said. "Hey Kagome, what's up?" Koga asked from behind her. She turned around, "Oh, Koga right? Nothing's up, it's a fun carnival though right?" She asked, "You bet, did you arrange all of this?" He asked with a smile. "Yeah, me and my mom" Kagome replied. "That's awesome" Koga said. "Wanna take a walk?" He purposed. "Oh, sure" Koga was wearing blue jeans, a black T-shirt and a light jacket. (A/N: See? I can write descriptively sometimes) "You know Kagome, I don't see you having a lot of fun, you organized this thing you deserve to have a blast you know?" Koga asked. "Well, I wanted to have fun with my friends but they're occupied with their closer friends" Kagome admitted. "Your friends aren't very nice then" He implied. "They are, it's just they developed more serious relationships with other, that's why I set this up, for people like that" Kagome replied. "How'd you like to be one of those people?" Koga asked. Kagome looked up at him, "I'd love that" She finally said, "Let's go have some fun then!" Truthfully, Kagome would've rather been spending time with Inuyasha but she deeply appreciated Koga's generosity. A storm started up, it was pouring and almost everyone ran away. The few that remained were Inuyasha, Kikyo, Sango and Miroku, Koga and Kagome. Kagome and Koga laughed happily and joyfully with each other even in the rain. Kagome turned her head to see Inuyasha and Kikyo in a passionate kiss. She gasped, Kikyo didn't even know! "I'll see you tomorrow Inuyasha" Kikyo called. The rain that poured washed away most of Inuyasha's lust and desire. "Kagome? Are you ok?" Koga asked, "I'm fine" She said lightly. "No your not, you're crying, what's wrong?" It wasn't the fact that Kikyo didn't know and Kagome felt sorry for her, it was that Inuyasha kissed her and Kagome realized her feelings toward him. Kagome suddenly lifted her head up to meet Koga's eyes and kissed him until she was convinced she was right. "Um, I'm sorry," Kagome apologized "Don't be. Want me to walk you inside?" "No that's alright. Thanks so much, I had a lot of fun" "I'm glad, I'll see you later ok?" He asked, she nodded. Kagome only kissed him to see if she had feelings for him. She was scared that she loved Inuyasha. And if she felt more toward Inuyasha without ever even touching him and less toward Koga even when kissing him, she had to be in love with Inuyasha. Miroku and Sango had departed, officially a couple. Inuyasha stared at Kagome through the rain, he had seen them kiss, he didn't know why, but he felt a little heart broken. Just a little. His human blood took back over his brain and now he regretted what he just did. "Kagome" He whispered to himself. She let out one tear after another until they fell like the rain, she wept freely and ran inside, leaving Inuyasha a little scared that he might have done something he shouldn't have.
