~*~More Than What She Seems~*~

A/N: Sorry for not updating in the last two weeks!

Okay, someone asked me if there was going to be san/mir fluff soon. Well, there WILL be, but not THAT soon ^_^ hehe. And as for inu/kag fluff...well, you can find out for yourself...it's pretty obvious in the next chapters. Don't worry, NO ONE is going to die in this fic. I'm pretty sure of that.

Chapter 13: Sango's Stressful Morning

Kagome's eyes fluttered open and she looked around.

She then felt someone tighten their arms around her.

"Wha-" she started and then looked up. "Oh...that's right. Inu Yasha..."

His dog ears twitched and his eyes opened sleepily.

"Hey," Kagome smiled.

"Do you always wake up this early?" Inu Yasha asked thickly.

"Hai," she replied cheerfully. "And you should too."

"Why should I?" he pouted.

"Because waking up early is good for your health."

"The last time I checked, it was the other way around..." he said slyly.

Kagome took a nearby pillow and hit him in the face with it.

"Ow..." he pouted. "You wench."

She swung the pillow onto his face again.

"Don't you ever call me wench again!" Kagome hugged the pillow and glared at him. She glanced at her digital clock. "Hm...we'd better leave for school soon..."

"What's the rush?" Inu Yasha leaned back against the wall and ran a hand through his silver hair. "We have plenty of time to do whatever until we have to leave."

Kagome frowned, "We do?"

He laughed, "Hello! Earth to Kagome! I'm half-demon, remember? I've got double, maybe even triple, the speed of regular humans."

"So," she stuck out her tongue. "I don't care anything about you."

Inu Yasha pulled her closer and smirked.

"You do remember what you said to me last night, don't you?" he leaned down and brushed his mouth across hers.

"Yes," Kagome murmured, turning her head away. Inu Yasha's lips landed on her neck.

"You're no fun," he mumbled, slowly nuzzling her.

"I know," Kagome snapped. "Especially when school is about to start soon!"

He pulled back with a sigh.

"Fine," he let go of her and watched as she got off the bed. "I'd better get home and change into a clean uniform."

Kagome turned around and shot him a grin, "I have a feeling that time's not on your side."

"Yup," Inu Yasha nodded grimly. He got off her bed, walked to the room's large window, and opened the left side of it. "Well, I'll see you in a few minutes."

As he was about to leave, Kagome said, "Wait."

He looked at her with a surprised expression.

She walked right up to him and stammered, "I-I just want to thank you again for saving me yesterday and..."

Inu Yasha turned around and looked at her right in the eye, "And?"

"And for telling me how you feel towards me...and for making me feel better," Kagome blushed.

He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss, "You're welcome."

Kagome stared into his golden eyes and didn't say anything else.

Inu Yasha leaned down again, closed his eyes and pressed his mouth against hers, wrapping his arms around her waist and drawing her in closer. Kagome felt herself melting in his arms. After realizing how long she'd been waiting for a kiss like this, she kissed back. He slit her lips open with his tongue and blissfully explored her mouth, running his tongue along the surface of her teeth. Her tongue poked his playfully. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss. She drew him in even closer to her.

A moment later, Inu Yasha's ears flicked back and forth and he pulled away.

"Your grandma and your brat cousin are home," he remarked with a smile while looking out the window.

Kagome blinked, "They are?"

She peeked out the window and gasped when she saw the two step into the house, "They are!"

He nodded, "See? What'd I tell you? They didn't get hurt from the storm."

Kagome bit her lip and frantically looked around, "Well, um-uh. You should get going."

He peered at her curiously, "Why the rush?"

"No time, no time, no time," she pushed him out the window.

"OW!" Inu Yasha exclaimed from outside.

Kagome peeked over the window and waved, "Gomen nasai, Inu Yasha! I didn't mean to hurt you! Now go home, you're going to be late if you don't!"

With that, she slammed the window shut.

Inu Yasha sighed and rubbed his head, "Ow..."

*****

Kagome shouted, "Bye Grandma, bye Shippou-chan!"

They waved back.

Kagome smiled and then started running to school.

"Getting my bike right now would take too long," she panted. "I have no time to spare."

Kagome picked up her speed, "Man, am I really out of shape!"

Suddenly, a blur stopped beside her and a hand yanked her forward.

"Eee!" Kagome shrieked, clamping her eyes shut. She relaxed as she felt the wind blowing gently past her. Her eyes flickered open and then widened. "Inu Yasha? How did you get here so fast? Where are you taking us?"

"For a shy girl like you," he stated. "You sure ask a lot of questions that you should already know the answers to."

She blushed furiously, "Sorry."

"Hang on tight," Inu Yasha ordered and then sped up.

Kagome clung tightly onto him behind his back as he held her legs more securely. Kagome laughed as Inu Yasha jumped off houses and buildings, and gazed in awe at the birds in the sky.

Their school came into sight in a matter of seconds.

They whizzed past Kikyo. Inu Yasha kicked the slut girl's legs.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Kikyo screamed as she crashed to the ground.

Inu Yasha dashed off again.

"Inu Yasha," Kagome said softly. "That wasn't very nice."

He smirked, "I know."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Kagome smiled when she spotted their other two friends, "Sango! Miroku!"

Inu Yasha skidded to a stop beside them.

"Kagome..." Sango blinked several times. "Why are you with Inu Yasha?"

Her best friend blushed, "H-he was taking me to school."

"Inu Yasha, you sly dog," Miroku shot him a grin.

"SHUT UP!" Inu Yasha reddened.

Miroku poked his arm, "So, are you two a couple now?"

"Um..." they both said simultaneously.

Miroku grinned from ear to ear, "You ARE! Congrats!"

He shook their hands.

Kagome and Inu Yasha sweat-dropped.

Miroku turned around and looked at Sango, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

"No," she said stiffly.

Her three friends stared at her.

"Okay," Miroku sighed. "What's the matter Sango?"

"I don't approve of this," was all she said back.

"And why's that?"

"Because I don't want Kagome getting hurt."

Miroku moaned, "Not that again..."

Kagome walked up to Sango and slapped her.

"Don't take that as an offense," she said softly. "But Sango, would you please snap back into reality?"

Sango rubbed her red cheek and burst into tears, "I-I don't w-want you to get hurt again!"

Inu Yasha and Miroku gulped and backed away.

"It's okay," Kagome hugged her best friend and patted her on the back. "Inu Yasha would never hurt me...and he would never hurt you and Miroku. You should know that. The only reason why he was so...different from usual was because his youkai blood kicked in and took control of him."

She took a step back from Sango and turned toward Inu Yasha, "Am I right?"

"Yeah," he blinked. "I...guess."

Sango wiped her eyes, "I know that, but still..."

Miroku's face suddenly hovered over hers. He took her hands in his.

"Sango..." he started.

"EEEEEEEEK!" she screamed.

*PUNCH*

"I...was...only...trying to...help," he slurred before he slumped onto the ground (with swirly eyes like @_@).

Sango took in large breaths, "Stupid monk."

"Sango," Kagome blinked and peered at her face. "Is that a blush?"

"Oh, Kami," Inu Yasha's mouth fell open. "It IS!"

"Sango's blushing!" Kagome laughed. "I can't believe this!"

Sango's face grew redder, "Leave me alone!"

"You didn't even let Miroku have a chance of saying what he wanted to say," Inu Yasha kicked at his best friend's body on the floor.

"Don't hurt him!" she roared. "Don't you DARE hurt him!"

"And why's that?" he asked with a sly grin. "Because he's your boyfriend?"

"TAKE THAT BACK!" Sango hollered.

Inu Yasha gulped and then ran off. She chased after him angrily.

"Hehe," Kagome sweat-dropped. Miroku groaned. She looked down at him.

"You awake yet?" she asked with a smile.

Miroku's eyes opened and he grinned, "I was the whole time."

*****

Kikyo stood against the wall of the school, glaring at Kagome from a far distance.

"You won't be smiling for long, Higurashi," she said icily. "Just you watch."

Kikyo turned away and smirked, "You have no idea what's in store for you soon..."

A/N: That doesn't count as a cliffy, does it?
