A/N: I had to dust the cobwebs from my account here… In the English section at least. I hope you re-enjoy this. Inuyasha is a potty mouth: consider yourself warned. Standard Disclaimer applies.

OneShot 10:

"Wake Up, Girl!"

"Inuyasha? Can I ask you a favor?"

He jumped about a mile when Kagome's voice startled him from his slumber. How come Kagome knew that he was napping in his tree at her time? Regaining composure, he eyed at her warily.

"Huh?"

"I'm not going to bite you! Please! Come down!"

Kagome smiled widely at him and he decided to jump down. Once in the ground, he grinned and crossed his arms.

"You don't bite. You're bark no bite." He said with a grin.

"Just like you?" Was Kagome's answer.

":vein pop:."

":giggle: Sorry… Well, can I ask you a favor?" Kagome insisted with puppy eyes, clapping her hands together for effect. "Please! It means a lot to me:puppy face:." She added and the hanyou shrugged.

"Talk."

"Can you wake me up tomorrow before dawn? I know you always woke up about that hour, please, could you wake me up?"

"Sure… :raise eyebrow: Can I ask you why do you want that? If you ask me, you should rest, you're always complaining about being tired and last night you turned your lights off long after midnight!"

"Well, you see, I was studying… wait a minute, how did you know that? Where you spying on me?"

"I wasn't spying!" Inuyasha rushed, waving his hands in front of him. "I woke up in the middle of the night and I saw that you were still up, that's all!"

The hanyou held his breath for several seconds, waiting for the imminent sit… which never came. Kagome only blushed slightly and giggled; then, the girl grabbed him by his arm and dragged him inside the house. Kagome didn't sit him because she was in an excellent mood at the moment and she felt peace at the world. She was simply too happy and Inuyasha decided not to push his luck: after all, Kagome's temper was known to be hazardously changing.

Kagome, Inuyasha in tow, entered into the house, came to the living room, where her brother and grandpa were playing a Go game and then, she walked straight at the kitchen, leaving the hanyou with her brother and grandpa. Sota greeted Inuyasha enthusiastically and the old man gave him a nod. That was when Kagome reappeared and asked.

"Hey! Have any of you two had seen Okaasan?"

"She's at the studio, my child."

"Thanks, Jiji." Said Kagome and disappeared behind a door, leaving Inuyasha behind her once again.

After a moment of silence, the grandpa finally said.

"What brings you here, Inuyasha?"

"Well… Kagome asked me to wake her up tomorrow before dawn." He explained. Both, grandpa and Sota stared at him in absolute awe. "What? Do I have something on my face or what?"

"Neechan ask you to wake her up… and you agreed?" Asked a stunned Sota.

"Yes. What's the big deal?" Asked Inuyasha. The old man stared at him as his opinion of the young hanyou explored new heights.

"What a brave and fine lad." He said after several seconds. "I'll pray for you, my boy!"

Inuyasha only rose both eyebrows in curiosity.

Five o'clock.

The hanyou opened the door of Kagome's room and walked carefully in the direction of her bed, woofing to himself. He crept to the sleeping girl and cursed his luck: if he wasn't careful enough, he was going to ruin Kagome's merry mood and he didn't like that.

He towered the girl and stared at her with a tender expression on his face. Kagome was sleeping peacefully and looking strikingly beautiful: he took a deep breath on her scent and felt at ease. Oh, how he loved her scent! He had to make an effort to keep himself from sniggering when he remembered certain time when he got close to her sleeping form and got slapped by her. Good thing that his face was away from her palms. He touched her shoulder and shook her a little.

"Kagome, it's…"

PUNCH!

Without warning, Kagome connected her fist with Inuyasha's chin and the hanyou fell back, absolutely stunned. He quickly sat up, holding the damaged area in surprise, several veins popping on his forehead and glared at the girl. He was ready to shout a good piece of his mind at her, but…

… Discovered that Kagome was still sleeping peacefully and looking even more strikingly beautiful. The moonlight touched her face in that moment and that only boosted the effect. He shook his head and got close to Kagome, grabbed her by her shoulder again and shook her not so slightly this time.

"Kagome. Wake Up!" He ordered.

The girl opened her eyes lazily.

SLAP. SLAP!

And closed her eyes again.

Inuyasha, holding both of his cheeks with his hands this time, stared at her without having a clue about what to do. He growled, this time louder. He grabbed Kagome's shoulder again and shook her not so gently.

"Wake Up, Girl!"

Suddenly, Kagome sat up, scaring the wits out of him, and stared right into his eyes.

"Hi." She said strangely.

":blink, blink: Hi?"

"…"

"Kagome!"

And the girl laid down, snuggled against the covers, mumbled several words, which only had a meaning to her, and… came back to sleep. At this, Inuyasha scratched the back of his neck and tapped Kagome's shoulder gently: he was starting to get really worry.

"Kagome? Are you awake?"

Said girl grabbed his hand and hugged it with all of her might.

"Kagome! Let Me Go!"

Inuyasha struggled against Kagome's death grip in vain. Since when the girl had such an iron grip, was beyond him.

"Damn it, Girl, Let. Go. Of. My. Arm!"

In any case, he wasn't having much success. He tried everything to get rid of Kagome's death hug, but noting worked.

"LET ME GO!"

Worst: the girl wrestled with him and somehow, he ended on top of her, having trouble breathing thanks to a bear hug, courtesy of Kagome. He blushed when he realized his position, and prayed to any Kami in the vicinity to keep the young miko sleeping, because if she woke up in that moment… and found him like that… he knew for sure that he was going to get stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Hearing his own drum-like heartbeats in his ears, he struggled, but Kagome held him closer to her, and Inuyasha realized, again, that if someone entered her bedroom… he was as good as a dead dog.

"SHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!"

He finally released himself from Kagome's death grip… but the girl kept his hand for herself. Inuyasha sweat-dropped and tried a new strategy. Slowly, he started to remove his hand… and smiled when the miko kept quiet…

"… duntgo. Iluvya." Kagome muttered.

What was that?

"Kagome? You say something?"

"Iluvya… ya. I luv ya." She kept muttering.

"You… love? Who?"

"inuchan." And kept muttering.

Inuyasha only blinked several times… and nearly jump a mile away when Kagome started crying, and he will have, but the girl still had his hand in an iron grip.

"Duntgo… staywithme… stay with me… I luv ya…"

"You love me? And you don't want me to go?"

"hai. Withallmeheart… I luv ya… luv ya… luv…"

Kagome let him go and sat up again suddenly. Her eyes were wide open, but they were too glassy to be normal. Inuyasha looked at her, not knowing what to do, confuse as hell. Kagome stared right into his eyes. She stood beside him and in a quick motion… and pecked him in the lips.

Then, the girl fell on her bed, snuggled under her covers, and sighed in happiness. Beside her bed, Inuyasha was frozen on the spot; he was just standing there with his eyes fixed on the wall. He just didn't know what to make up of that peck. He eyed the girl warily, feeling a lot of different things at the same time, his heart beating as if rabid. He knelt besides the bed, always looking at the girl.

PUNCH!

Kagome turned on her side, hitting him in one eye this time. He fell on his butt and growled once again. He sat again in the same previous position and glared at the sleeping Kagome. He stood, towering the sleeping girl.

KICK.

This time, the offender weren't her hands, but one single tiny foot. And the affected area wasn't exactly his face, but his… :ahem:… Inuyasha fell to the floor, twitching in pain, with tearing eyes and muttering several and creative curses at the sleeping miko.

After several moments, he regained his composure and sat beside Kagome. He glared intensely at her…

… But the glare soon became a stare and then a gentle look: Sure she was a crazy human girl, but so beautiful, so precious to him, so gentle, so…

… In which moment he started to caress her face? And Since when Kagome had her eyes wide open! He froze in terror. Was she going to slap him? Was She going to Punch him? Was She Going To Kick Him? What she was going to do now?

The girl yawned, stirred a little and gave him a wide smile.

"Good morning Inuyasha! Thanks for waking me up!" Said Kagome stirring. She took a look at the clock. "Great! Just In Time! Thanks Inuyasha!"

":blink, blink: your welcome?"

"Mmm. :yawn: I could wake up like this every day! I didn't know you were so sweet at waking up people! You should do that often."

"Are you awake? Really awake?"

"Of Course:standing: Well, I'm going to get dress. Inuyasha, you better wait for me in the kitchen :big smile: and I'll made breakfast for you and me when I get there! Ok?"

"Sure?"

"…"

"Huh?"

"What are you waiting for? Get Out Of My Room! I want to get dress you silly… :wariness: and I don't want you to peek, like Miroku-sama."

"Of course."

The next thing that Inuyasha saw, was Kagome closing the door in front of his nose. He shook his head and took a step back. He woofed and whined to himself and then he headed to the kitchen.

Kagome was a strange girl. A strange human girl.
