Collecting Inuyasha
Chappy 4

Kagome couldn't find the will to get up that morning. The laziness of sleep was weighing her down too much. The her eyelids felt like dead weights and made them impossible to open while the slight weight on her waist kept her pinned down. Kagome smiled slightly with her eyes closed and head resting on her pillow.
"Stupid Fat Cat Buyo." Kagome laughed sleepily as she reached a hand down to pet her 'cat.' Kagome instantly froze when she felt a strong clawed hand on her small waist instead of her cat. She took in a deep breath to calm her jumping nerves.
She slowly cracked her eyes open, cursing the small beam of light that had escaped through the curtains. When her eyes grew adjusted to the light she was met by the sleeping face of Inuyasha and involuntarily griped onto his hand. She felt her heart well up inside of her.
She had only seen Inuyasha asleep a couple of times. Whenever they were in the feudal era he would always watch her from a nearby tree until she was fast asleep and in the mornings woke up before everybody else demanding that they start looking again for the jewel shards. It was very sweet of him to be so protective of her and making sure she was always safe and out of danger.
Kagome studied his tranquil look before reaching a hand out to wipe a few strands of hair away from his face. She let her fingers linger on his face a bit more before gliding them over the masculine shape of his jaw and then slowly trace over his soft lips. She retracted her hand and pulled it towards her pounding chest.
It was amazing how many foul and abusive words came flying out of those same beautiful lips she was looking at right now. How that same mouth called her bitch and wench and jewel detector countless times over yet the urge to kiss them was still there. But how would he feel if she actually kissed him one day?
Kagome touched the tips of her fingers lightly to her own lips and let out a sigh. He was still in love with Kikyo and had already practically sold his soul to her. Kagome always thought about how sometimes she didn't want the quest for the jewel to ever end because when it did that would mean Inuyasha would finally have to go to hell with Kikyo.
She shook her head and cleared her thoughts. It was about time to get up and the well was still waiting to be fixed. Rolling over so that her back was facing to the sleeping hanyou, she tried to pull the blankets off of her and get out of the bed but was pulled back abruptly by the hand that was still on her waist.
Thinking that he was just dreaming she tried to wiggle free while the hand on her waist tightened even more. She could feel every muscle on Inuyasha chest as he pulled her over so that she was pressing firmly against him. His body heat radiated through the thin fabric of her over sized pyjama shirt.
She stopped wiggling around when she heard a disgruntled protest come from deep in the hanyou's throat.
"Would you stop fuckin' movin' around, wench? Some people are trying to sleep." He grunted, keeping his eyes closed and the firm arm in place. When Kagome made a funny squeaking noise in the back of her throat Inuyasha lowered his head into her ebony hair that was placed near the crook of her neck.
Kagome calmed down as he took a deep intake of her scent, his own scent of the fresh deep forest and natural rivers invading her nose. She giggled as he let out a breath of air that tickled the sensitive skin on her neck. When he didn't move and continued his rhythmic pattern of breaths on her neck she couldn't control the stream of giggles that followed after it.
Inuyasha growled for her to stop but when she didn't he finally spoke up. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"S-stop it Inuyasha." Kagome laughed when he started speaking, "It-" laugh. "-tickles!"
Inuyasha brought his head up and griped onto her waist and turned her around to face him. She stopped laughing when she saw his piercing golden eyes looking straight into hers. She stared straight back at him; try to decipher what he was doing. Something flickered in those golden eyes that made her heart speed up.
"Kagome. . ." Inuyasha called out to her in a breathy voice. Kagome's breath hitched in her throat.
"Y-yes?" Kagome tried to answer but came out more of a squeak then anything. "What is it?"
He placed a very seductive smirk on his face and started growling playfully, making Kagome's blood pulse through her body at an extreme speed. "Can you do something do something for me . . . Kagome?" Inuyasha purred while burying his face back into the crook of her neck. He then sat up perfectly straight and perky causing Kagome to fall over. "Can you make me some Ramen!"
Kagome stayed frozen in shock for a moment; trying to figure out what the hell just happened. She then sat up and glared at Inuyasha. She folded her arms and turned her head away, hoping he didn't catch the heated blush that crossed her face.
"I hate you . . ." Kagome mumbled under her breath. Inuyasha grinned proudly as he ruffled her hair. She scowled at herself for letting him make a fool out of her.
"Yup! Just about as much as I hate you!" Inuyasha chuckled and then let out a jaw cracking yawn in a very dog like fashion, tongue and all. Kagome watched him from the corner of her eye and had to crack a smile.
"You're such a puppy." Kagome stated as she tried her best not to laugh. Inuyasha growled at her. "Oh come on then I'll make you your Ramen!" Kagome laughed as she pushed her covers off of her form. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and pushed her self to get up.
Inuyasha couldn't help but stare at her long smooth legs as she walked over towards the door. The baggy shirt acted as a dress as it ended at about the same length her school uniform did, giving him a good view. 'Dammit I should really start thanking her love of skirts more often! I mean, no, I shouldn't because uh . . . um . . . aw fuck it!' Inuyasha finally agreed on watching the pale complexion of her legs move gracefully towards the hallway.
She stopped and turned around to look back at Inuyasha. "You coming?"
Inuyasha snapped himself out of his daze. "Um . . . oh yea. Right. Sure. So where are we going?" He asked dumbly. Inuyasha felt himself warm up as the sound of her sweet laughter filled his ears.
"Such a puppy." Kagome laughed and shook her head while leaving out of Inuyasha's line of sight. Inuyasha snorted at her comment and pushed himself off of the bed. He scratched the back of his head again.
Why the hell was he so itchy!? Inuyasha scratched the back of his head again, lengthening his claws a bit. He started using both hands before trading them in for his foot. Inuyasha sighed in relief as his foot seemed to be helping.
"Inuyasha are you com-" Kagome stopped in mid sentence and burst out laughing.
"What?" Inuyasha grunted, foot in mid air. Kagome shook her head and motioned him to follow her. Inuyasha muttered a 'keh' under his breath and decided to follow Kagome out into the kitchen.
Inuyasha plopped himself lazily on the kitchen stool. He watched as Kagome glided around the kitchen to prepare him his 'breakfast.' He turned his head away and started tapping his fingers on the counter to try and take his mind off of Kagome. His mind drifted off to Kikyo.
Was he being unfaithful by acting, er, friendlier to Kagome and staying with her in her time? Sure he'd made that promise of going to hell with her because it was his duty to do so. But what about Kagome? He had also made a promise to her that she would never get hurt and that he would always protect her. What'll happen when their mission is complete? What will happen?
Inuyasha was once again snapped out of his thoughts as Kagome set down a bowl of Ramen in front of him. He looked up at her quizzically as she smiled down at him.
"Your ramen?" Kagome reminded. Inuyasha didn't need to be reminded twice as he shovelled the ramen into his mouth.

Sango swiftly moved throw the brush of the forest in her black, form- fitting demon exterminator's suit. Her giant boomerang bone positioned on her back with one hand gripping it tightly in case her attacker were to catch up with her.
She felt the wind tousling her long brown hair that was pulled up into a high pony-tail. Small shrubs and low branches whipped against her legs as she continued to run. The sound of her companions small feet faced beside her.
The tiny fire cat pranced quickly along side her master, ready to transform at any minute if needed.
"SAAAAN-GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" Came the wail of the fox kitsune who was tailing her and gaining speed.
"Oh, SANGO!!!!!" Sango cringed as she heard the second voice, much deeper and more masculine than the first. She tried to pick up speed but was running out of breath and they were quickly catching up to her. Sango started to panic.
She glanced back and saw a wailing kitsune and the perverted monk only a few paces behind her. Miroku was grinning perversely with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Kirara!!!" Sango called over to her fire cat who transformed immediately at her master's command. Sango grabbed onto her partner's mane and tried to swing her legs up on her back while the fire cat started to take off for flight.
"Oh no you don't!" Miroku laughed playfully as he caught Sango around the waist, pulling the both towards the ground. The fire cat didn't seem to notice that her master wasn't there and continued to fly away.
"Traitor!" Sango mumbled as she watched Kirara float away. She felt Miroku's chest vibrate with the soft chuckle. Her form stiffened up when she felt a misplaced hand on her rear. She brought her elbow down sharply into his gut. When he let sucked in a quick breath Sango moved to get off of him.
"He'll never learn." Sango muttered under her breath while dusting herself off.
"Of course not, my dear Sango. You're just too yummy!" Miroku smiled at her, causing her to blush angrily. Miroku laughed and pushed himself up off of the ground. He propped his staff up and looked behind him, watching the fox cub come wailing into Sango.
"Sangooooo!" He cried as he latched onto her leg. "Where's Kagome!? Isn't she supposed to be back already? Where did Inuyasha go? Why aren't they here yet? Answer me Sango!!" Shippo demanded while crying into her leg all the more.
Sango looked up to Miroku for help as Shippo started rubbing his runny nose onto her leg. Miroku smiled while resting on his staff. Sango let out a sigh a reached down to pick up the young Kitsune.
"Oh Shippo." Sango soothed while he cried into her shoulder. "I'm sure Kagome-chan will be back soon! Inuyasha probably went to go get her and got a little side-tracked. They might've needed to pick up some more supplies for when they come back!"
Shippo seemed to have calmed down a bit but was still sniffling on her shoulder. Sango tried another trick.
"Who knows! Maybe Kagome-chan and Inuyasha went to go pick up more of those treats you love so much!"
Shippo sniffled and looked up at Sango with aqua coloured eyes. "Treats?" He asked with a little hope. Sango smiled, happy that he had finally stopped crying.
"Yup! And I'm sure she'll bring lots of chocolate too!"
Shippo cheered and jumped off of Sango and over towards Miroku. He stuck his face right in front of his. "Did ya hear that Miroku!? Kagome's gunna bring me lots of candy! Maybe she'll bring so much I can make a mountain! Won't that be cool, Miroku? But I'm not going to share any because I like candy! And since the candy's mine I can do WHATEVER I want with it! Isn't that great Miroku!"
"Yes that does seem wonderful, but I think you're bouncy enough as it is. I don't think Kagome-sama will give you very much candy if you don't be good." Shippo instantly stopped bouncing around as Miroku said this.
"Well, okay. But I'm going to go tell Lady Kaede what Kagome's doing for me!" With that Shippo bounced off of Miroku's shoulder and bounded off into the forest. Miroku sighed and sat down on a nearby rock.
"Well that was fun!" Miroku grinned at Sango who whipped a bead of sweat from her brow.
"Fun is not the word Houshi. Do you know how long we ran?!" Sango asked angrily as she rested her boomerang bone against the side of the tree, heading to sit down also before her knees gave way. She gave a fine plop as she hit the ground.
Miroku's eyes were turned upwards in a thoughtful expression as he absently counted his fingers. "A really long time?" Miroku finally gave up and answered.
"Exactly!" Sango huffed and slammed the back of her head against the base of the tree.
Miroku sighed and got up from his position on the rock to go sit under the big tree with the exterminator. He felt the rough bark on his back as he slid down the broad trunk. He let out a hearty breath and closed his eyes.
"So why were you chasing me for so long anyways?" Sango asked softly, enjoying the silence of the forest.
"Well you are the only one who could get Shippo to calm down. And since you know Kagome-sama so well I'm sure you could think up the best thing for Shippo to believe." Miroku chuckled low in his throat. "Kids are so gullible these days."
"Yes but you do realize when she does come back Shippo is going to be more than disappointed." Sango pointed out.
"But there is where you're wrong, milady. Shippo might be a little upset that there's no treats for him but will be equally as happy that Kagome and Inuyasha have finally come back."
"You make it sound like Kagome-chan and Inuyasha are going to be gone for a while. And I highly doubt Shippo will be all that happy to see Inuyasha."
"Well remember Shippo's parents were murdered by the Thunder Brothers. And seeing as he was found by Kagome and Inuyasha first, he thinks them both as parents. Remember that youkai family bonds are very strong; so any feelings are taken quite personally. And call it a hunch but I think Kagome and Inuyasha will be staying there for a while."
Sango thought about what Miroku had just said. "Well I guess your right. And for some reason I too think that they'll be gone for a little while. I mean Kagome and I are almost like sisters and I usually know what's going on."
Miroku just nodded in agreement and shifted himself into a more comfortable position. The two sat in a comfortable silence, listening to the wind tousle the tree's leave and the occasional bird twitter and heard the melodic ringing of the rings on Miroku's golden staff.
Sango cracked an eye open to look at Miroku who was still sitting peacefully beside her, a thoughtful expression on his face. Her eyes travelled down to his small black ponytail at the base of his head. What would he look like if he put his hair down? If anything he would look like the rugged type, but still, it would be nice to see.
"Is there something I can do for you Sango?" Miroku asked with his usual smile on his face. Sango pursed her lips tightly together and turned away. The sound of Miroku's kind laughter swirled around the forest. "Just because I'm a bit of a pervert sometimes-"
Sango snorted, "That's an understatement."
"- it doesn't mean that I still don't do my duties as a monk to help others in need. Now tell me, what were you thinking about?" Miroku asked and sat up straight to face her.
"Well, I was just wondering . . ." Sango started, not really knowing why she was so embarrassed, "I was just wondering what you would look like with out that ponytail in all the time."
Miroku laughed again. "My dear Sango, taking out a monk's ponytail is a sin in itself! But I guess it wouldn't be so sinful to show my wife. But other than that, I don't really know what I would look like either!"
Sango laughed nervously and inwardly cursed. 'Now I'm never going to see what he looks like, damn!' Miroku grinned pervertedly at her.
"You know," Miroku leaned in and whispered in her ear huskily. "If we got married then I could show you all the time. I'd be more than willing to let you see."
Sango's breath hitched in her throat and she turned around and slapped him. "What'd you do that for. . ." Miroku whined and tried to coax his cheek into feeling better. Sango looked down as her face heated up.
"Sorry," she mumbled, "Reflexes. . ."
Miroku rolled his eyes and went back to leaning against the tree. "Sorry again. . ." Sango apologized again and coughed, regaining composure. "Why don't you have a wife anyways? I mean I'm sure there are plenty of woman who would be more than willing to volunteer."
"Is that an offer?" Miroku asked raising a brow suggestively.
"No!" protested Sango angrily, "It was a question! I mean you're always looking for someone to bear their child and I just thought-"
"No I understand what you mean." Miroku sighed and closed his eyes again, "I guess I'm just looking for an heir so if I don't beat Naraku, which I'm sure we all will by the way, then I can have someone else do it for me. And the reason I don't have a wife because I know that if we got too close now she would be in great danger at all times. I do not wish that upon anybody."
"Oh . . ."
"Yes and for the fact that before my father died he told me he wanted me to have a strong wife who isn't afraid to give me a good beating if I got out of hand." Miroku grinned and held up his hand while wiggling his fingers in front of her face.
Sango laughed as she thought what a smart man Miroku's father was. She froze up instantly when she found out where his other hand was.
Miroku retracted his hand slowly as he saw her start shaking with anger. Yep his father would defiantly approve of this one.

Shippo was sitting down with Kaede in her hut, eating some dinner when a loud yell erupted through the forest.
"MIROKU YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The yell was followed by a loud crash and Shippo sighed sympathetically. "Poor Miroku, he'll never learn."

"Are we almost there yet?" grumbled a very unhappy hanyou. He was currently carrying at least 5 sacks of concrete mixture and couldn't see a thing where he was going. And on top of that he was carrying at least 20 more bags of clothing for him.
"Oh come on Inuyasha! Stop being such a grumpy-guss." Scolded Kagome cheerfully. "You're not the only one having to carry something."
Inuyasha grunted pathetically. "You're carrying TWO bags!!"
Kagome ignored him and skipped happily up the shrine steps, stopping every once in a while to get the disgruntled hanyou who was currently almost falling down that stairs to go faster.
When they finally got to the top of the shrine steps Inuyasha lowered himself to drop the bags on the ground. "Not yet Inuyasha! Bring 'em over to the well house!" Came Kagome's happy voice from a little ways in front.
He growled unhappily and tried to get to the well house as fast as he could. Once they were inside he dropped everything he was carrying and flopped down onto the dirt beside the broken well. Not only were they going to have to cement the stones back in place on the inside of the well but were also going to have to replace the broken wood that was all over the outer part.
"Inuyasha get up! You're getting your brand new cloths all dirty. I did actually spend some money on those you know." Kagome mentioned while standing right above his head. "And they weren't cheap either! Do you know how much-"
Inuyasha zoned her out a little bit and looked up. 'Hey!! I can see up your skirt from here- no, bad mind bad mind!' Inuyasha screwed his eyes shut to prevent himself from looking further more. As he closed his eyes the image of his view seconds before popped into mind.
Okay now he was at a dilemma; open his eyes and get caught looking at her and get 'sat' into oblivion or keep his eyes shut and get caught not listening and get 'sat' into oblivion. So instead Inuyasha decided on the next best thing.
Reaching up with one clawed hand he grabbed onto her leg and pulled her down on top of him.
Kagome gasped out in shock. "Inuyasha!" He grunted in response and rearranged her so she was more comfortably lying on top of him. He smirked smugly as he heard her heart speed up with his canine hearing.
"There." Inuyasha concluded, "Now we're both dirty and you can stop nagging at me."
Kagome pressed her lips together tightly and frowned as her head lay trapped between his chest and his hand. She felt like if she stayed in that position any longer her heart would beat right out of her chest.
Suddenly it dawned on her to what she could do. She rotated her head she was looking straight into his bright yellow eyes.
"Say, Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled cheerfully as he looked down to meet her with a questioning glance. "Whaddya say we go make dinner?" She suggested as he sat right up, his eyes sparkling brightly.
"Dinner?"

"Who knows! Maybe Kagome-chan and Inuyasha went to go pick up more of those treats you love so much!"

"Yup! And I'm sure she'll bring lots of chocolate too!"
Shippo cheered and jumped off of Sango and over towards Miroku. He stuck his face right in front of his. "Did ya hear that Miroku!? Kagome's gunna bring me lots of candy! Maybe she'll bring so much I can make a mountain! Won't that be cool, Miroku? But I'm not going to share any because I like candy! And since the candy's mine I can do WHATEVER I want with it! Isn't that great Miroku!"
"Yes that does seem wonderful, but I think you're bouncy enough as it is. I don't think Kagome-sama will give you very much candy if you don't be good." Shippo instantly stopped bouncing around as Miroku said this.
"Well, okay. But I'm going to go tell Lady Kaede what Kagome's doing for me!" With that Shippo bounced off of Miroku's shoulder and bounded off into the forest. Miroku sighed and sat down on a nearby rock.
"Well that was fun!" Miroku grinned at Sango who whipped a bead of sweat from her brow.
"Fun is not the word Houshi. Do you know how long we ran?!" Sango asked angrily as she rested her boomerang bone against the side of the tree, heading to sit down also before her knees gave way. She gave a fine plop as she hit the ground.
Miroku's eyes were turned upwards in a thoughtful expression as he absently counted his fingers. "A really long time?" Miroku finally gave up and answered.
"Exactly!" Sango huffed and slammed the back of her head against the base of the tree.
Miroku sighed and got up from his position on the rock to go sit under the big tree with the exterminator. He felt the rough bark on his back as he slid down the broad trunk. He let out a hearty breath and closed his eyes.
"So why were you chasing me for so long anyways?" Sango asked softly, enjoying the silence of the forest.
"Well you are the only one who could get Shippo to calm down. And since you know Kagome-sama so well I'm sure you could think up the best thing for Shippo to believe." Miroku chuckled low in his throat. "Kids are so gullible these days."
"Yes but you do realize when she does come back Shippo is going to be more than disappointed." Sango pointed out.
"But there is where you're wrong, milady. Shippo might be a little upset that there's no treats for him but will be equally as happy that Kagome and Inuyasha have finally come back."
"You make it sound like Kagome-chan and Inuyasha are going to be gone for a while. And I highly doubt Shippo will be all that happy to see Inuyasha."
"Well remember Shippo's parents were murdered by the Thunder Brothers. And seeing as he was found by Kagome and Inuyasha first, he thinks them both as parents. Remember that youkai family bonds are very strong; so any feelings are taken quite personally. And call it a hunch but I think Kagome and Inuyasha will be staying there for a while."
Sango thought about what Miroku had just said. "Well I guess your right. And for some reason I too think that they'll be gone for a little while. I mean Kagome and I are almost like sisters and I usually know what's going on."
Miroku just nodded in agreement and shifted himself into a more comfortable position. The two sat in a comfortable silence, listening to the wind tousle the tree's leave and the occasional bird twitter and heard the melodic ringing of the rings on Miroku's golden staff.
Sango cracked an eye open to look at Miroku who was still sitting peacefully beside her, a thoughtful expression on his face. Her eyes travelled down to his small black ponytail at the base of his head. What would he look like if he put his hair down? If anything he would look like the rugged type, but still, it would be nice to see.
"Is there something I can do for you Sango?" Miroku asked with his usual smile on his face. Sango pursed her lips tightly together and turned away. The sound of Miroku's kind laughter swirled around the forest. "Just because I'm a bit of a pervert sometimes-"
Sango snorted, "That's an understatement."
"- it doesn't mean that I still don't do my duties as a monk to help others in need. Now tell me, what were you thinking about?" Miroku asked and sat up straight to face her.
"Well, I was just wondering . . ." Sango started, not really knowing why she was so embarrassed, "I was just wondering what you would look like with out that ponytail in all the time."
Miroku laughed again. "My dear Sango, taking out a monk's ponytail is a sin in itself! But I guess it wouldn't be so sinful to show my wife. But other than that, I don't really know what I would look like either!"
Sango laughed nervously and inwardly cursed. 'Now I'm never going to see what he looks like, damn!' Miroku grinned pervertedly at her.
"You know," Miroku leaned in and whispered in her ear huskily. "If we got married then I could show you all the time. I'd be more than willing to let you see."
Sango's breath hitched in her throat and she turned around and slapped him. "What'd you do that for. . ." Miroku whined and tried to coax his cheek into feeling better. Sango looked down as her face heated up.
"Sorry," she mumbled, "Reflexes. . ."
Miroku rolled his eyes and went back to leaning against the tree. "Sorry again. . ." Sango apologized again and coughed, regaining composure. "Why don't you have a wife anyways? I mean I'm sure there are plenty of woman who would be more than willing to volunteer."
"Is that an offer?" Miroku asked raising a brow suggestively.
"No!" protested Sango angrily, "It was a question! I mean you're always looking for someone to bear their child and I just thought-"
"No I understand what you mean." Miroku sighed and closed his eyes again, "I guess I'm just looking for an heir so if I don't beat Naraku, which I'm sure we all will by the way, then I can have someone else do it for me. And the reason I don't have a wife because I know that if we got too close now she would be in great danger at all times. I do not wish that upon anybody."
"Oh . . ."
"Yes and for the fact that before my father died he told me he wanted me to have a strong wife who isn't afraid to give me a good beating if I got out of hand." Miroku grinned and held up his hand while wiggling his fingers in front of her face.
Sango laughed as she thought what a smart man Miroku's father was. She froze up instantly when she found out where his other hand was.
Miroku retracted his hand slowly as he saw her start shaking with anger. Yep his father would defiantly approve of this one.

Shippo was sitting down with Kaede in her hut, eating some dinner when a loud yell erupted through the forest.
"MIROKU YOU PERVERT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The yell was followed by a loud crash and Shippo sighed sympathetically. "Poor Miroku, he'll never learn."

"Are we almost there yet?" grumbled a very unhappy hanyou. He was currently carrying at least 5 sacks of concrete mixture and couldn't see a thing where he was going. And on top of that he was carrying at least 20 more bags of clothing for him.
"Oh come on Inuyasha! Stop being such a grumpy-guss." Scolded Kagome cheerfully. "You're not the only one having to carry something."
Inuyasha grunted pathetically. "You're carrying TWO bags!!"
Kagome ignored him and skipped happily up the shrine steps, stopping every once in a while to get the disgruntled hanyou who was currently almost falling down that stairs to go faster.
When they finally got to the top of the shrine steps Inuyasha lowered himself to drop the bags on the ground. "Not yet Inuyasha! Bring 'em over to the well house!" Came Kagome's happy voice from a little ways in front.
He growled unhappily and tried to get to the well house as fast as he could. Once they were inside he dropped everything he was carrying and flopped down onto the dirt beside the broken well. Not only were they going to have to cement the stones back in place on the inside of the well but were also going to have to replace the broken wood that was all over the outer part.
"Inuyasha get up! You're getting your brand new cloths all dirty. I did actually spend some money on those you know." Kagome mentioned while standing right above his head. "And they weren't cheap either! Do you know how much-"
Inuyasha zoned her out a little bit and looked up. 'Hey!! I can see up your skirt from here- no, bad mind bad mind!' Inuyasha screwed his eyes shut to prevent himself from looking further more. As he closed his eyes the image of his view seconds before popped into mind.
Okay now he was at a dilemma; open his eyes and get caught looking at her and get 'sat' into oblivion or keep his eyes shut and get caught not listening and get 'sat' into oblivion. So instead Inuyasha decided on the next best thing.
Reaching up with one clawed hand he grabbed onto her leg and pulled her down on top of him.
Kagome gasped out in shock. "Inuyasha!" He grunted in response and rearranged her so she was more comfortably lying on top of him. He smirked smugly as he heard her heart speed up with his canine hearing.
"There." Inuyasha concluded, "Now we're both dirty and you can stop nagging at me."
Kagome pressed her lips together tightly and frowned as her head lay trapped between his chest and his hand. She felt like if she stayed in that position any longer her heart would beat right out of her chest.
Suddenly it dawned on her to what she could do. She rotated her head she was looking straight into his bright yellow eyes.
"Say, Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled cheerfully as he looked down to meet her with a questioning glance. "Whaddya say we go make dinner?" She suggested as he sat right up, his eyes sparkling brightly.
"Dinner?"
