Inutori: In three days time I shall own Inuyasha.

Kagome: What's happening in three days?

Inutori: I will execute my super-secret plan to take over the world!

Inuyasha: Well, now that you've told us, isn't it not a secret anymore?

Inutori: Not so, for I did not tell you that my plan is to scare all of the world leaders so horribly with my insane ways that they will go into hiding until they are old geezers not suited for leadership.

Kagome: You just told us.

Inutori:

Chapter 6

Inuyasha ♥ Kagome

Inuyasha set Kagome down in her room and back away nervously.  Feelings were overcoming his body that confused and irritated him.  The way Kagome innocently looked at him sent shivers down his spine, and the way her body had touched his only moments before had sent the blood pumping furiously through his veins.

"Inuyasha?  Daijabu ka?"  Kagome stepped towards Inuyasha carefully, not wanting to have to double over in pain.

"I-I think I best be going.  If your sister finds me here…"

He was cut off by Kagome's finger pressed firmly to his lips.  Somewhere deep inside him he longed for that touch to not be that of her hand but of her lips.  "Stay, please.  Inuyasha, I…"

Kagome looked away from Inuyasha in something akin to embarrassment and removed her finger from Inuyasha's face.  The hanyou smiled gently at the fifteen-year-old in front of him and tilted his head to the side.

"Keh.  I don't see why not, it's not like that baba can hurt me anyway."  Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked towards the bed.  The thoughts that flittered through his mind at that precise moment made him turn red.  He was turning into a blasted pervert.

"Thank you."  Kagome yawned and stretched her arms above her head, bringing up her shirt to reveal her bellybutton.  She glanced behind Inuyasha to the digital clock and squeaked. 

Inuyasha then looked back to the clock that had caught Kagome's attention and saw what had caused her worry.  It was nearly midnight. 

"I didn't realize that we were out that late!  Oh, I have to get to bed!"

Looking away, Inuyasha whispered, "Then you'll want me to leave." 

But just before he could jump out the window, Kagome spoke to him.  "You can stay if you'd like.  I'd feel awful if you slept outside again."

"Again?"

"I'm not stupid.  I've seen you sleeping out in the woods at night."  Kagome walked to the door with a smile on her face.  "I'll go get the spare futon.  Be back in a sec."

Inuyasha just stood still, pondering the strange sensations that were taking over his body.  What was this young girl doing to him?  He just didn't understand his human side, and perhaps he never would.  Then he found himself drifting to thoughts of his mission and the mysterious hanyou that had set his sights on Kikyou like Inuyasha had.  That half-breed was constantly taking Kikyou out and about, and obviously Kikyou was unaware of his demonic nature.  If she were, Kikyou would probably have been as uptight about him as she was about Inuyasha.

Baffled, Inuyasha slumped to the carpeted floor and leaned his head against the wall.  His only conclusion that he could make from his thoughts were that humans were confusing.  But he halfway already knew that.

Kagome reentered the room with a bright smile and an armload of material.  "Hey there.  You don't mind sleeping on the floor, do you?  Cuz' I could sleep on the futon and you could sleep on my bed if you'd like."

"The floor's fine."  Inuyasha didn't even look up to meet her eyes as he spoke to her.

"You sure?  I don't have a problem with-"

Standing up, Inuyasha grabbed the futon from Kagome.  "The floor's fine."

"O…K…"

Kagome sat down on the edge of the bed and watched as Inuyasha unrolled the futon carelessly.  Silence filled every corner of the room as Inuyasha sat down on top of the futon facing Kagome.

"Goodnight, Inuyasha."  The raven-haired girl lay down in her bed and pulled the blanket over her body.

"Goodnight…Kagome."  Inuyasha's whispered response flittered through the room like a ghost and eventually disappeared.

Sleep overtook both parties until Kagome shot to a sitting position, in tears.  "Inuyasha!"  She looked around frantically until her eyes locked with the hanyou's golden ones that were looking up at her.

She scrambled off her bed and dived at Inuyasha, tears falling freely from her eyes.  Her body shook with her sobs and Inuyasha instinctively wrapped his arms around her form.

"What's wrong?"  His hand moved up and down Kagome's back in an effort to calm her, and it seemed to be working.

"I…I had a d-dream that-that y-you d-died!"  Her sobs came back full force and Inuyasha didn't hesitate as he scooped Kagome up in his arms to take her back to her bed.  He then sat down on carefully and allowed Kagome to cuddle to him. 

After a few minutes, Kagome was once again asleep, and Inuyasha found himself readjusting his position so that he would be more comfortable.  In the end, he was lying beside Kagome in her bed with the blanket covering them, his arms wrapped tightly around her small frame.

A sense of déjà vu came over him, and Inuyasha remembered that last night this happened as well, where Kagome was holding onto him and he didn't have the heart to pry her off, so instead cuddled in her bed with her.

Inutori: Sorry about the chapter being so short!  I just wanted to finish it, you know?

Kagome: Well, this chapter was certainly…interesting…

Inutori: Certainly, and that's why all of the readers want to be promoted to reviewers.  *waves arm in front of readers' faces*

Kagome: *slaps Inutori's hand* Quit trying to use Jedi mind powers!  You don't have any!

Inutori: Yes I do!  You're just jealous because I have a higher concentration of medichlorians (sp?) than you do.

Kagome: Am not

Inutori: Are too, you are SO jealous of me.

Kagome: Well, at least I have a hotter boyfriend than you!

Inutori: I don't have a boyfriend!  But there ARE guys that flirt with me that are as hot as Inuyasha…and there's more than one of them!

Kagome:
