CHAPTER 4 - A Little Closer…

Inuyasha watched Kagome playing video games with her little brother. 'It's like… she's back to normal…' He smirked a little, anger lessening within himself.

He turned back to incense crap on the table with a much softer face on than he had when he first began with the 'helping'. Ms. Higurashi noticed instantly, and looked questioningly towards Miroku. The houshi smiled and pointed to the peppy Kagome blowing up some bad guy on the TV screen. "Ah."

Senko looked up. "Hm, did you say something Miss. Higurashi?"

She turned her gaze back on to the parchments. " Oh, nothing." As the monk and her father then resumed with their discussion and such, Yanayai looked around for a normal piece of paper and some kind of writing thingy. All she got was a torn piece of coloring book paper and a marker. She sighed, and continued on with her sad supplies on her little plan.

Inuyasha was just staring into space, trying to figure out how Kagome got back to her normal self so fast and when he could escape the monk yapping when he felt something poke him in the head. Inuyasha looked down and watched a small paper airplane float to the ground.

Of course, being the curious little puppy Inuyasha was, he picked it up and undid the folds and such. On the inside it said in purple marker. "I'll make a distraction, and you can escape. But you MUST talk to my daughter upon getting out of this bore show.

Yanayai."

He looked up, and saw Ms. Higurashi quietly passing a note to Naena behind her chair. He was crouched down to keep out of plain view, and instantly opened the little crumple of paper. He grinned, and army crawled to the kitchen door, slid it open, and crawled inside. The door shut. (KPK- believe me, it's funny when KZ acts this out)

The hanyou looked at Kagome's mother questioningly before hearing a loud CRASH, SHATTER, BANG, BONG, THWOK, tinker… from the kitchen.

"What in the? Senko, will you come with me to investigate?" Mr. Higurashi asked.

"Um, okay…" Senko and Gramps stood up, and quickly walked to the kitchen and entered. The instant the door closed, Inuyasha bolted off from the table, leaped over the nearby couch, grabbed one of the X Box controllers, pressed pause, latched onto Kagome, jumped to the outside door, and left the house. "What the- Inuyasha, what are you doing?!" Kagome yelled, being put down on the shrine grounds. Inuyasha then shut the door from which they came from, grabbed onto Kagome once more, and jumped up into the sacred tree.

"Kagome, what is up with you?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, for the past week you've been all snappy n' stuff, and now you're back to normal! What the hell is going on?!"

"Oh…" she repositioned herself on the branch she was on. It was only then that the miko remembered… It was November. In other words, it was freezing outside.

Kagome hugged herself strongly. "Well, something had been eating away at me, but Miroku just had a little pow-wow with me, and…" She shivered vigorously. " I-I got a grip… s-s-sorry for acting like a spoiled little b-b-brat…"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, and took off the sweater he had been wearing. He tossed it to the miko, who instantly yanked it on. 'Oh… It's still warm…' she stuck her legs in underneath the stretchy sweater, feeling the warmth of Inuyasha. "Thank you."

"Keh, if you keep on coming out here in those skimpy clothes you'll give yourself frostbite."

"Excuse me?! You were the one that pulled me out here and set me up on this tree, remember?!"

"Keh, so?"

"Don't you say anything about me not wearing the right clothes for outside when I wasn't expecting to be going outside, you little… puppy!!!"

Inuyasha's attention was now fully on Kagome, he whipped his head around to face her. "WHAT Did you… say?" The hanyou met the face of the fifteen year old girl, which was being perfectly lightened by the moon. Her eyes sparkled in the starlight brilliantly, instantly catching the hanyou's stare. 'Woah… she's… beautiful…'

Kagome stared right back at Inuyasha. "Uh, earth to Inuyasha…"

He snapped back to reality with the miko waving her hand in front of his face. "Uh…"

"You zoned out for a second there. What was it?"

"It," his voice cracked. "Ahem, it was just that you… looked so pretty…"

Kagome's heart rate was just bumped up about seven million units. She could feel her face redden instantly, and she gulped hard. "M-Me?!"

"Well, yeah…" the hanyou looked down, trying to hide the blush that was forming. "With the moonlight and stuff, you just… I mean, uh…"

Kagome scooted over to Inuyasha's side, and rested her head on his shoulder. The two were eased greatly just by touching the other. "Thank you, Inuyasha…"

He looked down at the girl on his shoulder, feeling certain that she could hear his heart thundering madly. 'Kagome… I… I have to tell her…' "Kagome?"

"Yeah?"

"I-I… I want to tell you something…"

Kagome's heart was beginning to go out of control.

"W-w-what is it?"

"I… uh, I…" he couldn't get the words out. He was so terrified that she might not feel the same way toward him, that his vocal cords just shut when he was about to say "love". He sighed regrettably. "I want to thank you for always being with me on the new moon."

Kagome could just barely keep tears from forming. "Oh… It's nothing… but your welcome…"

Inuyasha could hear and feel how much her heart slowed down on his speaking. Guilt swelled up a bit within him, feeling awful that he had to just kill that moment. 'But then again…'

Kagome felt an arm go around her shoulders. Her eyes shot straight open, slowly moving to the direction of where a hand was resting to her right. By the time she actually saw Inuyasha's arm, however, he had already moved her closer to him, forcing the sides of their bodies to touch. The miko's face turned completely pink, and started to feel her lungs not being able to take in the full amount of air they usually would.

Inuyasha gulped, feeling Kagome not trying to move away from him, but moving even closer to his body. He rested his head on top of hers, heart pounding in his chest. 'S-She must be cold and is trying to get warmth… yeah, that's it.' "Still cold, huh?"

"No…"

'Woah, okay, this is major here…' Inuyasha looked down at the head his was resting on, being able to hear her heart racing. He smiled.

The moment before Kagome was about to say something, Inuyasha grabbed onto her once again, and jumped down to the ground. She sighed, saddened that they left the tree that had been bringing them closer together for a moment. 'Oh well… I guess he was just- hm?…' Kagome felt lips on her cheek. Her jaw fell open, eyes went bug eyed, and flush engulfed her entire face.

Once Inuyasha removed his lips from Kagome's cheek, she touched the spot where he kissed her, heart racing furiously. (KPK-BOOM! Can we say FLUFITIZED!!! Sorry, compulsive)

Inuyasha walked back inside the shrine house. 'Yeah, that was a good idea…'

Kagome stood there completely stunned. 'Okay, first forehead, now cheek… I guess next on the list of going farther down my body is lips, right?… Hold it… That would mean… oh boy, I hope he gets moving on the next one…'

- - time skip- -

The miko looked over at the alarm clock near her, and saw that it was only 6:00. 'Ugh… why can't I sleep any more?' By the time Kagome got up, got dressed, and went downstairs, Senko had already left. All that had even been shown that there had been a visitor that night was a small scroll lying on the coffee table, with a calligraphy of Buddha and such. 'Whatever… hmm… I guess I should be getting ready for school… hold on." Kagome heard rushing water coming from the bath room beyond the kitchen, and then it stopping. She slid open the door to the kitchen, and saw Inuyasha coming stark naked out of the bathroom. The two exchanged glances, blushes, and Kagome slid the door closed. 'Okay, that was unexpected… and a good way to wake up… hold it…'

Inuyasha quickly wrapped a towel around his waist. 'That was embarrassing…'

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" Kagome bolted into the kitchen. "INUYASHA, YOU PERVERT, SIT!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thud.

The telephone rang.
