Chapter 6: I hate you…no, I love you.

"Okay that hurt" Inu Yasha said as he fell head first, into the ground.

"Good!" Kagome shouted, "I'm so glad!"

"Hey!" the hanyou shouted "I would so claw you right now if you weren't a girl!"

"Claw…?" Kagome repeated, "Oh my God we are such retards!"

"What?" Inu Yasha said, raising to his feet with a confused expression on his face.

"You're a demon!" Kagome said, holding out his hand "Claw your way through the door!"

"Hey yeah!" Inu Yasha said, catching on "Good idea."

"Hurry, it's almost nighttime!" Kagome urged as Inu Yasha neared the door, clawed hand at the ready.

"Yeah yeah I'm going" Inu Yasha responded simply.

"That's weird" Kagome said, staring out the small window, "The sky looks different tonight."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Inu Yasha said, dumbfounded.

"Well, it's just that there's no moon…" Kagome said slowly.

The two glared at each other "NO MOON!" they said in unison.

As if on cue, a hazy light began to shine around Inu Yasha's body, he was changing!

"Oh shit!" Kagome said "hurry and break through the door before you lose your claws!"

"I'm trying!" Inu Yasha said "But they're getting shorter and shorter!"

Kagome then did something rash. She ran to Inu Yasha and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist "just keep trying!"

But it was already too late. Kagome looked up to see that Inu Yasha had fully reverted back to his human form. Which meant that his claws, fangs, and the tetsusaiga were totally useless!

"Aww man" Kagome groaned "what else can go wrong today?"

"K-Kagome?' Inu Yasha said slowly, looking at her with an extremely embarrassed gaze "what are you doing?"

It was then that Kagome realized how tightly she was holding the now human Inu Yasha "It's not what you think!" she cried out "I was just holding on to you because I thought that since I'm a miko, my powers might allow you to keep yours!"

"That's pathetic" Inu Yasha said after a minute of silence "if you wanted to hold me, you could have just asked."

"I just said that's not why I did it!" Kagome said "you're so clueless!"

"Right…" Inu Yasha smirked.

"SCREW YOU!" Kagome said, slapping him hard across the face.

"What are we going to do?" Souta said exasperated as he paced the room.

"This really bugs you doesn't it?' Satoru said.

"Not a chance!" Souta said quickly "No way!"

"Liar" Satoru snickered.

"SO WHAT"S YOUR POINT!" Souta exploded in his face.

"Hey boys" a voice said suddenly "what's new?"

Souta and Satoru whirled around to find Souta's mom standing before them "Mom!" Souta said, alarmed "how did you get in here?"

"Gee I hid in the ladies room during closing…" Souta's mom said sarcastically.

Souta laughed nervously and sat down on the couch, desperately trying to look normal.

"So…" his mother continued "is anything wrong?"

"Nope, nope not at all!" Souta said reassuringly, waving his arms dismissively "everything's fine, right Satoru?"

"Uhh…actually" Satoru began to say.

"RIGHT Satoru?" Souta continued with a smile as he sucker punched Satoru.

"Right" Satoru wheezed.

"Alright" Souta's mom said slowly "if you're sure. I'm going to be out for a bit so if anyone calls you know what to do."

"Right" Souta said with a forced smile as he watched his mom leave.

"What is wrong with you?" Satoru said as soon as she was gone "she could have saved you!"

"I'd rather be minced meat that have my mom fight my battles for me" Souta replied.

"You are very brave" Satoru said slowly "Can I have your stuff when you're dead?"

"Aw SHOVE IT!" Souta snapped.

"Hey there's some old scrolls here" Inu Yasha said, looking on one of the shelves "we could pass the time by reading I guess."

He pulled out the scroll and opened it, only to find that it was completely eaten by moths and torn apart by decay…

"Damnit!" he cursed in frustration.

"Oh what did Sango expect?" Kagome said, plopping down beside the hanyou in exasperation.

"Yeah I know" Inu Yasha agreed, brushing his black bangs of his forehead "just because we're stuck in here did she think we were just gonna start ripping each others clothes off."

Kagome just looked at him.

"It was an accident alright!" Inu Yasha said, realizing what Kagome had meant. His face flushed bright red and he had to look away to stop Kagome from seeing his crimson features.

"Ugh!" Kagome said in frustration "I hate this!"

"Well it isn't exactly a walk in the park for me either!" Inu Yasha said in defense.

"Yeah, well the last thing I need in my life is another good looking, arrogant, cocky jerk in my life" Kagome said.

"You think I'm good looking?" Inu Yasha said slowly, standing.

Kagome gave him and exasperated look and then said shortly "oh God Inu Yasha, your ego is so big its sucking up all the air in here and suffocating me!"

"Hey if there's enough room for your hair in here there's plenty of room for my little old ego" Inu Yasha shot back.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Kagome said, anger rising.

"What is…" Inu Yasha repeated "okay watch, 'hey sango, hey miroku, Shippo chan!'" he mimicked, flicking his hair repeatedly of his shoulder.

"I got that little move from you Inu Yasha!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah right…" Inu Yasha said, flicking his hair over his shoulder.

"HA!" Kagome said, pointing.

Inu Yasha gasped and turned away from the now laughing miko "okay, okay" he said "you know what, give me my shirt back!"

"What?" Kagome said in shock, no way.

"Come on, I'm cold" Inu Yasha said "give it back!"

"Cold?" Kagome said "it's like 35 degrees in here!"

"Well if it's so hot then give me back my shirt!" Inu Yasha argued.

"Oh God, you really are a jerk!" Kagome shot back.

"Ah ah ah" Inu Yasha interrupted "I'm a good looking jerk!"

"I never said you were good looking!" Kagome yelled back.

"Yes you did, you just said I was a good looking, arrogant, cocky jerk" Inu Yasha quoted.

"Yeah well I…take it back" Kagome said.

"Take it back?" Inu Yasha repeated "you can't take it back!"

"Then you can't take your shirt back!" Kagome said cleverly.

The two started laughing almost evilly at each other as they circled each other like two demons at battle. Inu Yasha lunged for Kagome in attempt to steal back his shirt. Kagome tried to dodge but Inu Yasha was too fast for her. The two ended up tumbling to the ground, Inu Yasha on top of Kagome!

"I said…GIVE IT TO ME!" Inu Yasha yelled, trying to grab his shirt back.

It was then that the two noticed the position they were in. Both screamed embarrassed and slid away from each other.

"D-don't get the wrong idea!" Inu Yasha said "I wasn't going to kiss you or anything like that!"

"I-I know" Kagome said with a smug nod "you wouldn't have the guts to do that!"

"Keep talking like that and I might!" Inu Yasha shot back angrily.

"Go ahead and try it!" Kagome challenged.

"Fine! Close your eyes then!" Inu Yasha said in frustration.

Kagome did as he said. Inu Yasha neared Kagome's lips slowly, they barely touched before his nerves took over.

"I-I can't…" he said slowly.

"See?" Kagome said in satisfaction.

"It's not because I'm scared!" Inu Yasha protested.

"Then what?" Kagome said.

"It's just…I think you…" Inu Yasha tried to say "Have to do this with someone you like."

Kagome looked almost hurt " I see" she said curtly "So of course you can't do it with me!"

"Th-that's not what I meant!" Inu Yasha said.

"Then just what did you mean?" Kagome replied.

"It's just…remember when we first kissed" Inu Yasha said "at Kaguya's castle?"

"Yeah" Kagome said, flushing brightly "but that was just because you were under a spell!"

"I know!" Inu Yasha said "So that proves you don't like me either!"

"Th-that's not true!" Kagome protested.

"Yes it is!" Inu Yasha shot back.

"No, it's not!" Kagome said, "in fact, if it weren't for Kikyo, I would've done this a long time ago!"

"Done..done what?" Inu Yasha said as Kagome leaned forward.

I suppose you know what will happen next! So stay tuned for the next chapter, and don't forget to review!
