I do not own Inu-yasha.

Part Seven

"Inu-yasha...?" Kagome said, blushing.

His face came even closer, his amber eyes locked onto hers. "Just let me...," he said.

"Kagome, honey!" Higurashi-san said, coming in with things she bought from the gift shop.

Inu-yasha jumped ten feet in the air and landed on his ass. Kagome blushed as her mother glanced at the both of them.

"Am I...interrupting something?"

"YES!" Inu-yasha yelled, jumping up and glaring at Kagome's mother.

"Oh, I'm dreadfully sorry. I wouldn't want to keep my grandchildren from coming!" she said happily.

Inu-yasha and Kagome's faces turned red as Higurashi-san went out the door, mumbling about little dog ears.

They glanced at each other and their faces turned red again.

"You...weren't really going to...were you?" Kagome asked.

"I...I don't know," he mumbled, sweat dropping, his face as red as possibly.

"Oh...okay then. That's okay...I guess."

"Um...yeah."

Kikyo's words ran through Kagome's head. 'You haven't noticed that he obviously cares for you? Quite a lot, actually...' Was that why she wanted Kagome dead? Because she was jealous?

"Hey Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry, but I...well...I read your diary."

"WHAT!"

"Only a couple though, I swear!" He waved his hands wildly in front of him. He knew she would sit him now!

"How many?"

"Only February!"

Kagome blushed. "So you know then..."

"Know that Kikyo had been coming a lot? Yeah. And that your one wish was for my happiness. That's all."

Kagome looked at him and sighed in relief. "Oh, that's good. I thought you had read something else, oh god... That's great."

"Read what?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.

Kagome blushed. "NOTHING! And if you ever read my diary again...well, you know what will happen!"

He smirked. "Alright then."

"Inu-yasha? I don't like that smirk..."

"It's okay. Let me guess, that thing you didn't want me to read was that you-"

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT!" she shouted.

"That you-"

"SIT!" she screamed.

"DAMN IT!" he yelled as he hit the cold marble floor.

Kagome sighed. As long as he didn't say it, she would stop blushing and not have to tell him that he was right.

"That you love me!" Inu-yasha shouted from the floor.

DAMN IT! Kagome blushed harder than ever before. Could she ever possibly stop blushing now? He had said the forbidden words and now she would have to answer him and then the blush would never go away.

He stood up, the spell wearing off. "I'm right, aren't I?" He noticed the intense blush on her face. "I'm right." He laughed a little. "My god, your face is hilarious!"

"Shut up!" she said, angrily. "You tried to kiss me! I wouldn't be talking!"

"Well, I'm right, aren't I?" he asked and stood right next to her. His amber eyes locked on hers seriously. "Tell me, am I?"

"Why do you want to know?" she asked, snorting at him in anger.

"Because, I need to know, not just want to." His face came closer to her.

"Yes," she whispered and looked away.

"What was that?" He smiled at her.

"YOU HEARD ME DAMN WELL!"

"No, I didn't," he lied.

"I SAID YES FOR GOD SAKE!"

He wrapped his arms around her neck. "Thank you," he whispered into her hair. "Thank you."

"What for?" she asked, blushing again.

"I don't know," he said happily. "For being there I guess, I really don't know!" He laughed.

"Inu-yasha, you're acting really out of character..."

He laughed. "Aren't I?" he said happily. "Now then..."

"Now then what?" Kagome asked, blushing once more.

"Now then I don't have to worry!"

"About what?" she asked quietly.

"About your feelings."

She sat up, against Inu-yasha's protests. "Why would you of cared about my feelings anyways?"

Inu-yasha shrugged. "Agh, I don't know. Maybe it's a self-conscious thing."

"You are one crazy dog-hanyou."

"And you are one weak human."

"Don't make me say it."

"Fine. Whatever. I dare you to." He smirked at her. "Yet, if you really loved someone, you shouldn't be that evil to them," he said, leaning against the window sill.

She blushed. "Just because you know that doesn't mean you need to shout it to the world!"

He opened the window. "Or maybe I should," he said with an evil smirk. "To get back at you for all those times you sat me?"

"Inu-yasha...," she said warningly. "I wouldn't if I were you. I'm evil enough, don't worry about that."

Inu-yasha drew in a breath.

"SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!"

"KAGOME STOP!"

"SIT SIT SIT!" she screamed.

Inu-yasha sighed, his face making a hole in the marble. "Done now?"

"SIT SIT SIT! Now I am."

"Fine, I won't say it." He glared up at her from the ground. "Evil, conniving girl."

She smiled happily at him. "That's okay with me."

"Stupid too."

"Are you really trying to get sat again?"

He smirked at her. "Maybe."

"Fine with me. Sit."

"Damn it."
