A/N: Yay. Another day at school. This is the combination of not enough sleep, hunger, and boring computer class. Tell me if you think its good.
"Candy?"
"What the hell is this thing?" Inuyasha stretched his neck forward to get a better look at the strange contraption Kagome had brought from her time.
Kagome pressed her hands to her cheeks to hide the blush that was creeping up on her. "Inuyasha, it's nothing." She waved her hand in the air. "Just put it back in my bag please."
He glanced at her and saw the embarrassment coloring her face. An evil grin spread across his and a fang popped out. He smirked at the situation.
"Oh, no," Kagome groaned and dropped her head in her hands. Why did a tampon have to fall out of her bag when Inuyasha was there? Why not Sango? Even Miroku would have just let it be. But no, Inuyasha had to see it!
Inuyasha picked up the tampon and held it up to his eye level. He sniffed at it and played with the bumpy fringe at both ends of the wrapper. Placing the cylindrical shape between his fore finger and thumb, he rolled it back and forth with a smooth motion.
Kagome was mortified. Of all the people…
"Is it candy?" Inuyasha asked, still examining the wrapping.
Kagome's mouth fell open. "Is it what?"
Inuyasha turned and raised an eyebrow at her. "Is it candy?" He wrinkled his nose at her. "Keh, what's wrong with you anyway?"
Kagome blinked. He thinks it is candy? A broad smile crept over her features. She reached up and pulled an imaginary cord for an imaginary light bulb above her head. Kagome just had the best idea ever.
"Oh yeah," she spoke nonchalantly and dusted off her skirt. "It's candy alright. Really good candy, too."
"Keh," Inuyasha huffed and turned his attention back to the "candy."
Kagome hid another smile. "It's grape. See the little purple dots?"
Inuyasha inspected the wrapper again. "Yeah."
"Well, that's how you tell the flavor." She clapped her hands together at the pure genius of it. "But it opens weird. There's a trick to it."
"So?" He crossed his arms over his chest. "If a stupid human can eat it, I can too!"
Giggling erupted from Kagome.
"Oh, you don't think I can do it on my own?" Inuyasha assumed.
Kagome gripped her side. She couldn't talk through her laughter.
"Hmph," Inuyasha stuck his nose to the sky and walked away from the hysterical human.
Kagome tried to quiet herself down, but only failed in her attempts. She rolled around on the ground until she heard hacking from a tree just outside of Kaede's hut.
She sat up and gasped. He didn't!
Oh, but he had. Within an instant, Inuyasha burst into the hut with a braided thread dangling out of his mouth. His face was red with anger and his mouth was pushed open wide by the cotton of the tampon.
"Oh, crap." Kagome closed her eyes. The tampon had puffed up from Inuyasha's saliva when he put it in his mouth and now it was stuck inside with his jaws forced open. Thank goodness he didn't swallow it first.
"Aa…" Inuyasha struggled to talk through the dry cotton. "Aaaagooone!" He roared through the barrier. "Eth thith thin ohh neeeeee!"
"Okay!" Kagome stoop up and walked over to him calmly. "Okay, I'll get it out."
Inuyasha growled and she could almost see the steam coming off of him. "Uat are ooo oooing? Haauy uh!"
"Take it easy, Inuyasha." Kagome glared. "If you don't behave, I won't help you!"
Inuyasha tried to mumble through the cotton.
"Alright, let's see how bad it is." Kagome examined the insides of Inuyasha's mouth. The tampon had indeed swelled to ridicules proportions and was trapped by his fangs.
"Um…" Kagome rubbed her chin. "If I can't get it out by pulling it, I might need to pull out your canines."
"Ny uat?"
"Your fangs." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Well, do you want it stuck in there forever?"
"Ut, ith ooor ault!"
Kagome gripped his ears. "It is not my fault! How was I to know you'd actually eat it?"
Inuyasha growled.
"Can I continue?" Inuyasha looked down at her, silent. "Good." She placed her fingers on the thread and tested to see if it would hold. It was fixed to the cotton well, as most tampons normally are.
"Okay, Inuyasha?" Kagome looked up to his eyes. "Are you ready?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Okay, hold my shoulders and push me back when I tell you to. Alright?'
Inuyasha nodded again and placed his hands gently on her shoulders.
Kagome turned back to his mouth. "Okay, here we go."
She tugged on the thread and the cotton didn't budge. She ground her teeth and tried again. Wrapping the thread around her finger, she commanded Inuyasha to push her back.
"Oooo aaaayyy," he gripped her and began pushing against her pulling. "Owww!"
"I'm sorry," Kagome began to loose her grip in her concern for him.
"Oooo! Eep oing!"
Kagome licked her lips. "Okay, I'll keep going." She gripped the string and pulled back harder.
"Arrrrhh…" Inuyasha groaned.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Kagome closed her eyes and placed her foot against Inuyasha's hip, using it to help push her away from him. The cotton moved, and was pulled halfway out.
Kagome felt it give and opened her eyes. She wanted to clap, but resisted the urge to. She panted and gave it one more good pull and…
Found herself on her back an instant later. She lifted her hand and found the thread wrapped around her fingers with the huge cotton wad attached to it. She sat up and looked it over. I didn't know they got that big, Kagome pondered.
She heard a small groan from the other side of the hut. Inuyasha too had fallen backwards and was now propped up on his elbows, rotating and cracking his jaw.
"Damn it, Kagome." He rubbed his cheek and looked at her.
She flashed him an innocent smile and he waved it away with his hand.
Kagome shook her index finger. "Well, if you hadn't been into something I told you to leave alone you wouldn't have been in this mess."
Inuyasha growled. "Oh get off it! It's not like it was anything private!"
"Yes it was!" She gasped and slapped her hands over her mouth, but was too late to shut herself up.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. Here we go again, thought Kagome.
"What is it?"
Kagome blushed. "Nothing!"
"Bullshit!" Inuyasha positioned himself up on all fours with his head lowered between his shoulders. "You better tell me."
Kagome crossed her arms over her chest. "You're the one who said it was private."
He laughed and said, "Okay, if you want to be that way," and pounced on her, throwing her back onto the floor.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "You get off me right now or else—"
"—Or else what?" Inuyasha pushed his face down to hers so she couldn't move her head to look away. "Are you going to sit me? That would work!" He snickered.
Just then Shippo burst through the entrance, followed by Sango, Miroku, and Kirara.
"We heard noises…" Sango dropped her statement when she saw Kagome and Inuyasha's compromising position.
Miroku's eyes widened and he straightened up to adjust his robes. "Ah yes, well. Come along now Shippo." His face broke into a smile. "Let's leave these two, uh, to their business."
"Now wait a minute!" Inuyasha howled. He pushed himself up onto his knees and pinned Kagome's wrists to the floor above her head, pulling up her school shirt and revealing some skin on her stomach.
"This isn't what it looks like!" Kagome became red with anger. "Inuyasha get off me right now, or I will sit you! No matter what!"
Inuyasha turned back to Kagome and noticed that her shirt and skit had been hiked up considerably in their struggle. He rolled off her with ease at the sight of skin.
"Keh," he walked out of the hut.
Kagome, realizing her clothing situation, sat up quickly and folded her shirt and skirt down. "Uh…I'm going to go find Inuyasha…" she ducked her head past her friends and walked swiftly out of the hut.
Miroku looked at Sango and she returned his glance.
Shippo was ready to burst. "Excuse me, but could someone tell me what just happened here? Please!"
Kagome found him on the roof.
"Come down, please." She asked gently.
"No."
She shifted uncomfortably. "Why not?"
"Because you won't tell me what it was."
Kagome stamped her foot and gripped her fingers into fists. "Is that what this is all about?"
Inuyasha poked his head over the side. "Duh!"
Kagome lowered her head and whispered under her breath, "It's just not worth it." She looked up at Inuyasha. "Okay, if you come down I will tell you."
"Why can't you tell me while I'm up here?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome could feel a vein throb in her forehead. "It's private!"
"There's no one here!"
"So?" Kagome stamped her foot again.
Inuyasha studied her and finally leapt off the roof. "Okay," he grinned. "Now tell me."
Kagome put a finger to her lips. "Be quiet will you?" She glanced around to make sure no one was around. Satisfied, she cupped her hands around her mouth and whispered into Inuyasha's ear.
Sango and Miroku sat with Shippo, explaining that Kagome had just lost a wrestling match.
"Oh…" Shippo nodded. "I see."
Suddenly a loud commotion was heard from outside.
"THAT THING GOES WHERE?"
