A/N
(Skip if you must, just my ramblings.)

First off, before I begin, I need to express my utter sorrow. pitiful sigh I was playing my new game I got for Christmas, (Woohoo!) Inuyasha and the cursed mask, I was very enticed and happy when Rumiko Takahashi had to do something that was very unexpected…and just down right mean!! Kya! In one part of the game, I…well, my character, stumbled across the Castle Town blah blah blah. It turns out that Naraku possessed the king and now we have to go kill him. Yay! King-hunting we go! Ahem, before I go into the castle I meet up with this little boy, about 6 or 7 years old. He asks me to give this pin-wheel he made himself to his older sister who works in the castle because he misses her immensely. Aww! How sweet, I know. I go into the castle and it's infested with demons. What fun two hours that was. --'Anyways, along my way I find his sister, Toki. I give her the pin wheel and she is just so freaking happy, I was glad that I found her. My character tells Toki to escape the castle as soon as could and get back to her brother who misses her dearly. She nods, and runs down the stairs. My character continues the journey, blah blah blah…when suddenly I become separated from the gang, and later on find fluffy-sama to aide me. We make our way to the Castle Tower to reunite with the gang yet again, on the way…guess what I see! The freaking pin wheel! I had a heart attack, was Toki alive? Or was she dead? Ooh no!! After that moment…I run into Toki. (Sob!) She was dead. Naraku that damn bastard!! He killed her and brought back her corpse. Anyways, Fluffy just walks up to her, and stabs her. I'm just sitting staring at my T.V. screen like what the hell just happened. Her soul comes back to life and she says thank you for freeing her and now she can go into heaven etc. My character than lies the pin wheel next to her corpse so she can quote, 'be happy in heaven'! Gah! So sad! Rumiko actually killed the little girl off! That just crushed my ego. Anyways, I bet you've had enough of my ramblings…if any of you even read this all. Which would be a surprise? But, on with the story. So sorry you had to endure my moment. Uber sob! It hurts me to read what I wrote. Poor Toki…in fact, this upset me so much, I got up from my bed, interrupting my temptations of trying to go to sleep, and turned on my computer to share this with you. Now, it's nearing 1 o' clock and I must go to sleep. Oi!


Now! For the story!! . Woohoo-ness!

P.S. Sorry if my writing style seems…different. I usually write this 'way' depending on my emotions…my friends remarked that I should stay mellowed out more often, well, at least when I'm writing. I can't see how I write different, but I mean, I'm the one writing the story…ne'? Mmm…possibly they're correct or they've just been sniffing something they shouldn't have been sniffin'. Pitiful sigh Well, cheers to the up-coming fluffy-ness in the next chapters and the Ooh-so-looked-forward-to reviews! (Hoorah!)


----------------------------------------XxXxXx-----------------------------------

Kagome gently grabbed onto Inuyasha's haori as the mystic purple light engulfed them into the time slip. Inuyasha pushed himself out of the Bone Eater's well and extended his hand to Kagome.

She slipped her hand into his with a soft sigh as she felt herself being pulled up into the light of the storage house. A small pitter patter of a window came to her ears as a faint smile approached her small lips. She loved the rain.

'Perhaps Inuyasha will go for a walk with me…' Her smile widened at the very thought of Inuyasha and his response to rain. She'd never really have seen him outside in the typical weather.

Inuyasha grimaced as the smell of rain hit his nose. It drove him practically insane. The damp, musty, feeling crept up at his skin as it reached his sensitive ears. He hated the feeling of rain on his ears, his nose, hell, his whole body. But, as though he hated to admit it, he tended to like the rain…just a little.

His gaze soon fell upon the soft hand that was still grasped in his. A faint tint of red etched its way across his cheeks as he let go.

Kagome looked down at their once intertwined hands as a small hint of disappointment danced in her violet eyes, how she longed to be with him.

With the shrug of his shoulders, Inuyasha slipped off his haori and draped it over Kagome's shoulders.

The look of disappointment quickly dissipated as a small smile replaced it. She wrapped her hands over the red fabric and tightened it snugly over her petite body.

His eyes quickly brushed over her as he let out a small smile, too. He motioned his head to the door, giving Kagome the notice that they should head to warm house.

"Come on, we best be going… I mean, it's warmer in there than in here." He whispered softly.

"M'hmm." Kagome nodded as she made her way outside the door and into the dark gloomy surroundings that seemed to swirl around them. A slight breeze picked up, pushing at the two. Kagome let out a small shudder as a sudden warm arm draped around her shoulder, pulling her body to a much warmer one.

She cocked her head up in surprise and leaned against him, looking into his golden eyes.

They stood there for what seemed like eternity, savoring the sweet silence and the very presence of one-another. The soft rain beat down upon the two, but yet the somehow managed to never mind a thought about it.

Kagome let out a small sneeze and rubbed her nose in the spite of bitter coldness. Inuyasha let out a small scoff as he pulled her to the door.

"Keh, wench. You're going to get sick by just standing there like that..." The cold breeze carried away his soft voice and disappeared into the dark, looming sky.

Kagome suppressed a small giggle as they reached her warm home. She rested a firm grip on the cold door knob and gave it a slight turn, a rush of warm air colliding with their drenched bodies. A small shiver ran down her spine as she stepped into her welcoming home.

"Mother, I'm here…" Her voice was suddenly drowned out by the cooing voice of her mother.

"Ahh! Kagome, sweetie! Welcome home," Her soft gentle gaze fell upon her daughter's and the hanyou's clothing. "You two are soaked! It looks as though you rolled around in a puddle, Kami!" She let out a small groan as she eyed the two with great concern. "You know you'll get sick…"

"Keh. Demon's don't get sick." Inuyasha grunted as he glanced at the floor, showing interest as he stared at his feet.

Mrs. Higurashi smirked slightly as she reached up and tweaked his ear. "Of course they don't." With that, she disappeared into the kitchen with the sweet aroma of food hitting Kagome's and Inuyasha's nose.

Kagome shot a glance over at Inuyasha and let out a small sigh.

"I think I'm going to go change into something warmer, okay?"

"…Keh."

Kagome bit her lip softly and threw Inuyasha a look of concern, but he seemed to be more interested in the carpet than her. She slipped away upstairs and into her un-touched room. Softly gliding her way to her closet in search of some nice warm dry clothes.

Her fingers quickly rummaged through different shirts and pants, momentarily stopping to observe a long sleeve sweater. With one final sigh she pulled out a soft red sweatshirt and casual black plants.

Slipping out of her cold damp clothes, she quickly winced at the cold breeze that suddenly past by her body. A soft knock at the door echoed into her ears as she quickly slipped into her pants.

"Hang on! Geesh," A low growl came from behind the a-jar door as it was pushed opened.

"Kagome, how long does it take to get fu-" His face reddened as he stared at the back of Kagome. Her eyes widened as she threw her shirt on and turned to face him.

"Inuyasha!"

He gulped down the large ball in his throat and cast his gaze on the ground, anywhere away from her face.

"…Sit boy!" With a string of uttered cusses, a red faced hanyou hit the ground with a large bang echoing throughout the quiet house.

Kagome made her way around the sunken body a skewed amongst the floor and ran down the stairs. Her mother merely glanced at her with a look of curiosity lingering in her eyes. Shaking her head, she returned to the meal she was making. Keeping her questions to herself.

Kagome quickly heard her name being called out, a familiar distress signal.

She returned upstairs seeing Inuyasha bombarded by Souta and his friend, Tomo. Kagome let out a small giggle as she placed her hands on her hips; a way of letting Souta know that he was about to get reprimanded.

"Souta, leave Inuyasha alone." She let out another giggle, "please, just go to your room."

With a sigh of defeat Souta sulked his way away from his wanted-to-be brother-in-law.

Kagome knelt before the hanyou and gave him a small look of concern, but a hint of pure amusement dancing in her eyes.

"How did they torment you this time?"

"…Keh." Inuyasha sat up and glared at Kagome for 'sitting' him. He couldn't keep that gaze forever though, he could never contain the very thought nor feeling of being mad at Kagome.

She smiled softly as she tweaked his ears. He flicked his ear away from her lingering soft touch letting out another scoff. He got up and extended his hand, pulling her up beside him.

"Inuyasha…" Her voice lingering off as he studied her with pure curiosity, not knowing what emotions or thoughts were running through her mind.

He looked up to her violet eyes, showing no expressions himself. Suddenly her gaze darkened.

"Next time you come into my room without permission…I'll lock you in Souta's room for eternity." She walked down the stairs and disappeared into the kitchen. He just stood there in shock.

'Damn wench.' He shook merely shock his head and clenched his jaw, despising the woman. Inuyasha let out a load growl as he made his way downstairs to the welcoming aroma of sweet food.

Good story so far. But I have a question...You...um..how do I word this...your style of writing is a lot like the author of Metamorphosis, Sueric...do you guys know each other or something? Im just curious...cuz I really like it! You even put down the people who've read your fic the same way...and the Q & A...o.o; Well, keep up the good work and update soon

First off, thanks for the compliment! Nice to know someone likes it; but no, I don't know Sueric. I wish I did, she's truly a wonderful author. I'm really surprised that I would even be compared against her in the same category as her writing style. Thanks so much, really made my day. But I have realized on my own terms that we do have the same review statistics etc. I tend to like the way it looks, honestly. .' I believe that reviewers are kind enough and take the time to review, give their thoughts, and such, I should give a lot of recognition to them and give immense thanks to them in return. As for the Q&A, you're actually the first one to ask a question, lol! Hope to get more reviews from you! I'll check out your stories, thanks! Ooh, and anyone who wants me to also check out and review their stories, just put so in your review! .

your first Q/A! whats up w/ the dark priestess chick? whats her deal?... and why's inuyasha emotionally constipated in the anime?(i dont expect an answer to that question! -.-)

Teehee! Actually my second, but always feel free to ask questions! The dark priestess chick? Lmao! You must mean Oboroko…and as my plot with her…you'll soon see! Muhahaha!! But I will tell you that she is a major character in my story. She's out to get revenge…on two of our mostly loved characters! Right under their noses… As for the Inuyasha based question, I would hypothesize that being who he is, Mr. Macho man; he doesn't have the sincerity to express his feelings. Although we all can clearly state his emotions, I would think that it has to do partially with his childhood. Growing up alone, secluded to humans and demons alike…Hmm, actually made me think also! . (Great question though!)


Please review!

Thanks!


DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Inuyasha and co., unfortunately. Alas, maybe, just maybe, I'm related to Rumiko Takahashi and get them as a well-profound birthday present. But, only in my dreams will that ever happen. I would love to thank Rumiko though, for giving me her vivid characters to plot evil things with.


Hope you enjoyed!


A/N:

(Final one, I promise! .')

I would have had this up very sooner, believe me, but for some reason FanFic won't let me log on!

(grumble grumble…damn bastards.)

Ooh! Happy New Year's!
