The next morning Kagome woke up lying next to Inuyasha. She looked up to Inuyasha, who was still sleeping. The doctor came in and seeing she was awake smiled.

"Good morning!" She said cheerfully.

Kagome didn't notice her until she spoke so she turned with a start and smiled, "Oh, hi."

"Is he still sleeping?"

Kagome nodded and smiled, "I don't think he'll mind too much if I wake him though. Do you want me to?"

The nurse looked down at her chart. "It would be a good idea, we need to do another physical examination. I'll be back in about ten minutes OK?"

Kagome nodded, "Aye aye Captain!" She said with a small laugh.

The nurse nodded and turned around to leave but stopped at the door. "By the way, you two looked cute last night."

Kagome blushed slightly and nodded. "Thanks..."

The nurse left smiling and Kagome turned to Inuyasha who was mumbling in his sleep.

She sat on the bed beside him and blew into his ear. "Wake up sleepyhead..." She whispered.

He stirred slightly but didn't wake up. She tried another 2 times before he opened one of his eyes.

"Good morning sunshine." She said smiling from ear to ear.

"Why did you have to wake me up?" He grumbled, yawning and stretching.

"The doctors want to check up on you, I thought you'd rather me wake you than them."

"Yeah, definitely. So how did you sleep?" He asked sitting up.

"I had a nightmare... " she said shuddering.

"Oh?"

"Umm hmm..."

"Well I wanna know what happened!"

"Oh, duh... Sorry," she said laughing. "Well it was about last night, only we were sitting there after the accident talking and your brother came in again and, well, you know..." She said growing quiet.

"Shot me again?" He asked as he tilted his head to the side.

"Yeah... I was terrified."

He hugged her and comforted her. "It was just a dream, you're okay now."

"I know, how about you? How did you sleep?"

"Not too bad, I had a wonderful dream." He said with a look of awe on his face.

"Oh yea? What about?"

"A long haired woman, who swept me off my feet and made me feel whole..." He said laying back down again, remembering the dream and smiling.

"Oh?"

"Yep, it was nice. Where is the doctor anyway?"

"Well she said she would be back in ten minutes, about ten minutes ago so? I dunno..."

Just then the doctor came in smiling as she saw Inuyasha awake. "Well Sleeping Beauty? Decided to grace us with your presence?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Yeah, want do you need me to do?"

She looked down and told him to walk down the hall and to the right.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome.

"I'll be waiting in the waiting room okay?" She said smiling.

"Sure, I'll see you soon."

She went to the waiting room where her mother was sitting, sleeping with her head on her chest.

She sat beside her and nudged her awake. "Mom? Wake up please."

Mrs. Higurashi woke up with a smile on her face. "Good morning dear."

Kagome smiled. "It's the middle of the afternoon Mom, why didn't you go home last night?"

"I wanted to make sure you kids are all right. But I'll probably go back home now that you are." She said passing Kagome some money.

"What's this for?"

"For a cab ride home, but there's some extra for you guys."

Kagome smiled and gave her mother a hug as she left. "Take care, and send Inuyasha my love okay?"

Kagome nodded and her mother left. A few minutes later, Inuyasha came out into the waiting room, fully dressed.

"Are they going to let you leave the hospital already?"

"Yeah, they said I was doing a lot better, and that I'm ready to leave."

Kagome shrugged. "Well, how do you feel?"

"Fine... Better than fine."

"Liar."

"I am not!" He said pouting.

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him. "What do you think of going out for dinner?"

"Like formally?"

"Yeah, a nice fancy place, we never got to go on our movie date, come on! Take me out!"

He nodded. "Sure, anything for you." He said pressing a light kiss on her cheek.

She smiled broadly walked with him outside. He hailed a cab and they both got in. When they got home Souta greeted them both with a hug.

"You guys are insane! How do you manage to get shot?"

"My brother's a maniac... But I'm okay little man, I'll take that video game challenge now if that's okay with you."

Souta smiled. "YEH!"

Inuyasha and Souta walked up the stairs and turned on the game. Kagome laughed silently to herself and walked into her room.

She grabbed the phone and called Sango. They talked for close to an hour as Kagome caught her up on all that had happened the previous night.

"Well Kag, I better go, I'll see you tomorrow at school okay?"

"Sure Sango, Later!"

She let her go and walked back into Souta's room. Inuyasha was losing by a sufficient amount. Souta threw one last mind blowing punch and Inuyasha groaned.

"Not again!"

"HA HA! I thought you told me you were good!" Souta said taunting him.

"Good game kid" Inuyasha said as he fluffed his hair.

He saw Kagome standing there and took her hand in his. "Come with me for a walk."

She nodded and put on a sweater. He also put on his leather jacket.

They walked outside and went for a walk around the block.

"I told Sango..." She said resting her head on his shoulder.

"About what?"

"What do you think?"

"About the shooting?"

"Yeah, I had to tell someone. Sorry."

"Why?" He said grasping her hand tighter.

"I don't know, I figured you'd want to keep it private."

"Nah, that's fine. She's your best friend right?"

"Yeah, we weren't always friends though. She used to be one of those sorority chicks, she was sentenced to do a project with me and she never looked back. Now she skates and listens to good music, not Brittany Spears," she said laughing.

"Are you serious?"

"Would I lie?" She said looking into his face batting her eyelashes together.

"Yes!" He said laughing.

"Meh, whatever Dude whatever!"

"So speaking of skating, looks like we're going to have to hang up out boards for a while huh?"

"Yeah," she said sighing.

"It'll be okay kid, you won't lose it."

She nodded, "Want to go to the park?"

"Sure."

They took a left turn into the park and walked along talking about Kagome's childhood.

"... Then I figured maybe mayonnaise doesn't get gum out of your hair. Souta had to get a buzz cut thanks to me."

Inuyasha laughed loudly. "That's amusing."

She nodded laughing as well. They heard a slight boom in the distance. Five seconds later they were stuck in a down pour.

"Oh no!" She cried.

"Come on, there's a gazebo over there." He said pointing about 50 feet away.

She ran with him. They got into the gazebo and looked at each other. Inuyasha's silver hair was plastered to his forehead, sopping wet. Kagome's eyeliner had run halfway down her cheeks.

She then started shivering.

"Are you cold?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah, but I'll be fine."

He took off his coat and wrapped it around her. "That better?"

"Much, thanks a lot."

He looked down into her raccoon eyes smiling.

"What?"

"You're beautiful when you're wet."

She smiled. "You're gorgeous all the time."

He placed his hand on her neck and pressed his lips lightly on hers.

She kissed his back passionately. All she could feel was him. All she could taste was him. All she knew at that moment was her and Inuyasha.

He pulled away subtly. "Kagome, I know it's soon and I know it's awkward but I have to tell you now with all honesty. I love you, more than anything I ever knew. I love you more than love itself. I would take another bullet for you, I swear it."

He pulled her into a hug. "Right back at you, I love you so much Inuyasha, I love you so much it hurts."

They sat down hugging each other and waited until the rain stopped. They he gave her a piggy back home. She fell asleep on his back.

He walked her up to her room and laid her on the bed. "Wake up Kagome, come on you have to get dressed."

Her eyes fluttered and she nodded. "Thank you. Good night."

He stood up and kissed he lightly on her forehead. "Good night babe."

"Don't forget, you owe me dinner tomorrow night."

"I could never forget when it comes to you."

Well... That was very fluffy and it was a long time coming I know I know. Sorry guys seriously. School's just been nuts lately but at least I finally updated right? Now you BETTER review! Really now come on! R&R:D:D Pixie stix for all!
