Author's note: Well, I only have three reviews last chapter, and I was kind of disappointed, but I'll get over it. Anyways, since I'm on March break I thought I should update. So, here goes.


My Wish


Kagome coughed as she pulled down the ladder (and the dirt that went with it) that would take her to the attic. She suppressed a sneeze and climbed stealthily upwards. When she got to the attic, Kagome closed the trap door and then climbed the rest of the way to the roof. She sighed happily as she looked up at the clear blue sky and watched as the clouds turned bigger with each passing minute.

Kagome thought back to the past month and a half, and sighed. InuYasha was a hard trainer and he worked her butt off every day, leaving her with barely enough energy to take care of Rin. To prove it, Kagome had fallen asleep on picnics and swims with Rin.

The rooftop was the place where she had went during the past few weeks to get away from everything. It was her only sanctuary.

Too bad that her peace was soon going to be shattered.


InuYasha mumbled under his breath as Kagome was late for her martial arts practice. After the month and a half, she had gotten pretty good. Now, where the fuck is she? To tell the truth, Kagome had been late plenty of times before, but always unnoticeable. Today, she was thirty minutes late.

InuYasha mumbled something under his breath and then stood up. He walked out to the hallways and glanced out at a nearby window. It was so peaceful outside. So inviting and...

InuYasha shook his head and was suddenly angry. Breaking into a run, he bumped into Miroku.

InuYasha held out his hand to help Miroku up. "Dude, have you seen Kagome anywhere?"

"Lady Kagome? Um... I think I just saw her heading towards the attic."

InuYasha nodded and began running again. He might just know where Kagome is.


The trapdoor to the attic opened and Kagome stiffened. Who could it be? Sitting up straight, she crept towards the ladder and was surprised to see InuYasha's head poke up through the hole.

"What the fuck are you doing up here?"

Kagome fidgeted. "Um... to get some fresh air?"

InuYasha ignored her as he pulled himself up through the hole and sat down next to her. Seeing that he was not yelling at her right away, Kagome laid down on her back with her hands behind her head. InuYasha followed suit.

"It's nice up here."

Kagome nodded. InuYasha turned to her. "But that still doesn't save you from skipping training."

Kagome made a face and groaned. "It's summer for god's sake! And you know what?" Kagome poked him on the chest, "I'm tired as hell."

He nodded and looked away. An awkward silence past between them. Suddenly they both began, "I'm sorry-"

InuYasha motioned to Kagome. "You go first."

Sending him a glare, she continued. "I'm sorry for skipping. It's just that when I applied for this job... I didn't expect this."

InuYasha nodded. "And I'm sorry for ruining your summer and training your ass off."

They both nodded at the same time. "Apology accepted."

They laid down again in compatible silence and they sighed contentedly. InuYasha turned to Kagome and a mischievous grin spread across his face.

"You know, you still suck at martial arts."

Kagome sent him an icy glare but then smiled sweetly. "You sure? Because if I remember correctly, yesterday I kicked your ass."

InuYasha blushed, slightly. It was true, Kagome was almost at his level of training. Key word: almost. He snickered and then quieted down as he heard arguing downstairs.

"He went this way!"

"Nothing's that way except for the attic, and I don't think they'll both be in the attic, smooching."

Kagome and InuYasha glanced at each other, their faces turning a beet red. The footsteps were right blow them, now.

"See? I told you, nothing here."

There was thump, as if someone was sitting down. A female's voice rose up to Kagome and InuYasha. "Where could they have gone?"

"Hm... maybe they went to private motel and... you know..."

"Hentai!"

There was thump and then a whimper. Yup, that gave away who they were: Miroku and Sango. Kagome glanced at InuYasha and almost burst out laughing as a red in the face InuYasha suppressed the urge to go down there and beat the two shitless.

"Sango, they could've, you know." Miroku's voice whined. InuYasha and Kagome looked at each other, raising their eyebrows.

"Kagome wouldn't do that."

"You're right. InuYasha would."

Kagome wanted to burst out laughing, now. Her body was shaking with half rage and half giggles. InuYasha, however, looked ready to kill. He was about to stand up, but Kagome pulled him down and put a finger to her lips. InuYasha nodded to indicate that he would give Miroku a second chance.

This time, Sango spoke up first. "They make such a cute couple. When are they going to realize that?"

By this time, InuYasha and Kagome had slowly, but steadily crawled to the opening of they hole, so that they could hear better.

"When you realize that we also make a cute couple."

Kagome heard silence below and could almost make out the scene below in her head, without even seeing them. Sango, sitting in a chair and Miroku, putting his arms around her in a bear hug.

"Um... Miroku?"

"Hm?"

"You'll never leave me alone... right? No matter what?"

Kagome could almost see Miroku's shocked face. "Never, Sango, never."

Kagome couldn't help it. She squealed. In three seconds flat, a pale Miroku and a red in the face Sango, climbed onto the roof. Sango blushed as Kagome squealed again. Miroku, however, was backing away from InuYasha.

"Um... InuYasha, I didn't mean it. Really!"

Sango's eyes widened in horror as InuYasha kept on advancing on Miroku. Miroku backed away feebly, and his feet hit the edge of the roof.

"InuYasha!"

InuYasha spun around at an angry Kagome. "You can beat him senseless, but you can not drive him off the roof. In case you haven't noticed we are about three stories up."

InuYasha looked liked a kid who just had a lollipop waved in front of his face, but then had it taken it away. "Aw, come on, wench! You heard what he said! And if you want, I can throw you off and then throw Miroku off."

Kagome blushed and then turned red with anger. "Yup, I heard, that's why after this we all get to go to the dojo and beat him there. And lets see if you can even try throwing me."

Sango and Miroku gulped. InuYasha pouted. He knew he would never hurt Kagome. He changed the subject. "So if I go down to the dojo now, I get to beat him up?"

Kagome yawned and shrugged. "Sure."

InuYasha made for the hole and then looked at Kagome. "Aren't you coming?"

"No."

"What are you going to do here, then?"

"Sleep."

InuYasha smiled. "You sound more like me with each passing day."

Kagome growled deeply. "Who wants to be like you? You're a jerk, have no manners, and you are so immature."

"What? Look who's talking."

"Not after you look in the mirror and see how horrible you look."

Miroku and Sango crawled slowly towards the hole. "Stay where you are, right now!"

Miroku and Sango froze as InuYasha and Kagome yelled that last statement out. "Oh well, at least we have front row seats." Miroku muttered to Sango. Sango shrugged. (A/N: I suck at making them argue. Just put up with the next part. )

Kagome and InuYasha were now standing on the roof, their hair blowing wildly.

"Shut up!" Kagome screamed. Somehow in that short amount of time, they were on another subject to argue about.

"Oh, what are you going to do about it? Tell your mommy?"

Kagome shook with suppressed rage. Something about InuYasha ticked her off more than most people.

"At least I have a mommy!"

"Go home and cry to your mom, wench!"

"I will!"

With a toss of her already tangled hair, Kagome stomped towards the hole and dropped through it with ease. InuYasha's facer overtook with horror as he suddenly realized what he had done. Miroku and Sango were left there, gaping. InuYasha jumped after Kagome.

"Err... .I'm sorry, Kagome!"

InuYasha was surprised, as she stopped and turned around to him. She had tears in her eyes and she looked hopefully up at him. "Your not saying that just to make me feel better, right?"

"No, Kagome. I said that to make you stay here. I don't want you to go home to your mommy. I want you here, with me."

He went over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"What were we arguing about again?"

"Um... about how ugly you were?"

Kagome pulled away with fire in her eyes but relaxed slightly, as he pulled her into a hug again.

"I won't do anything to hurt you, Kagome."

"Ever? Yeah right, you just hurt my feelings right now."

"Fine, I'll only tease you on special occasions, then."

Kagome smiled contentedly.


Kagome's breathing seemed to slow as she looked up from the hug. Her eyes locked with InuYasha's gold ones and time seemed to stop. As if from a dream, his lips kept getting closer and closer until it was only inches apart.

Then it happened. They kissed.

Kagome felt pleasure as InuYasha gently parted her mouth with his tongue. He moaned in pleasure as she kissed him back and without even knowing it, Kagome's hand raised so that she had a firm lock around his neck. He smelled of nature and his lips were so soft. Kagome let a sigh escape her lips and she felt his hand tighten around her waist.

Then, they finally came up for air, Kagome was the first to respond. "Wow, that was unexpected."

InuYasha blushed, not letting go of her. She looked back up and him and felt herself being drawn into his eyes again. They kissed again and broke apart as Sango coughed. However, they didn't let go of each other and Kagome rested her head on his chest.

"Well, Miroku and I will just leave you two alone. Is that ok with you two?"

Kagome blushed and gave a sigh of displeasure as InuYasha let go of her. InuYasha stalked up to Miroku, his face as red as Kagome's.

"You two are not going anywhere."

Miroku gulped.


Kagome sat in her room, dazed. She kept dreaming about the kiss over and over again. It had felt so right, so good. She went out to her balcony and let the wind play with her hair. Suddenly InuYasha was beside her. Kagome jumped.

"How did you get here?"

"I walked through the door and then walked to the balcony. Wasn't that hard."

Kagome scoffed and then sighed. InuYasha leaned against the rail with her. Kagome glanced up at the night sky and sighed as she saw the stars clearly. One of the stars twinkled merrily.

"If you could make a wish upon a star, what would it be?"

Kagome was startled as InuYasha asked her this. She blushed and redirected the question. "What would you wish for?"

InuYasha blushed and went back into her room. He then disappeared through the door to his room and returned with a piece of paper and two pens. He handed a pen and paper to her.

"Write down your wish. And be truthful."

Kagome glanced at her paper and went over to her bed. She sat on it and began thinking. What did she want to wish for?


InuYasha finished writing and folded his piece of paper in half. He looked over at Kagome and saw that she was still writing it down. Holding back his impatience, he remembered back to his kiss with Kagome. It was sweet, and she had smelled like lilac and faint artichoke. The combination was good.

She finished and then folded it, like he did.

"Now what do I do?"

InuYasha held out his hand. "You give it to me."

Kagome looked shocked. "But... but.."

InuYasha rolled his eyes. "You get to read my wish, too."

"But what if..."

Kagome then gulped and walked over to him. She counted to three and then snatched his paper. She read it out loud and InuYasha blushed faintly.

"I wish that," Here, Kagome stopped and looked closer. She looked up and glared at him. "Your handwriting sucks."

He shrugged. Kagome continued, "I wish that you will stay here with me forever, and live with me."

Kagome looked up at him with tears in her eyes and then surprised him by hugging him. He hugged her back. He then smiled evilly. He opened Kagome's piece of paper and read it silently, first.

He smiled as Kagome blushed. He then leaned in and kissed her, passionately. When they both went up for air InuYasha chuckled slightly. He turned to Kagome.

"Your wish has been granted."


Ending note: If it isn't clear, Kagome's wish was for InuYasha to kiss her. What do you think of the fluff in this chapter? -grins evilly- This was a fun chapter. However, the next chapter's not going to be so happy. Anyways, review, please!
