(To let you know, this chapter was written a long time ago, and will be displayed as it was originally written. In other words, use caution as it is shit)

I AM NOW CURRENTLY JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHILE DANCING AND SINGING WAY OFF KEY OF HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPYNESS!

Whew... Caffeine is wearing off.

Several reasons why I am happy as some over caffinated nutcase in an asylum:

1. Wind Child has currently 289 Reviews.

2. Loving incense has currently 265 reviews.

3 Altogether equaling 554 reviews. I'm about half way to my current dream of 1000 reviews altogether! Happynessded!

4. The overall words I have archived just broke 100,000, which just plain rocks.

5. Many people have been reviewing me and telling me that they are really surprised at my work since I'm a guy. Most people expect guy stuff to be full of action and perverted romance (cough James Bond cough). Well, I'm just really happy from all of that, since nearly every DAMN boy at my school are completely perverted and will openly go into fights. I NEVER want to become like that, so if I do suddenly, I give you all permission to run over me with a 747. Which reminds me...

(KPK- HE WAS TRAINED BY MOI, BY THE WAY!)

CHAPTER 25 - Kindling Exegesis (Lost Chapter)

A week or so had passed since the whole Chiaki Disruption (what the burning sakura and stuff had been dubbed) had occurred, and it was now afternoon, with snow falling once again. The winter dance had had it's date changed because of a heating malfunction the day before the dance, making the entire school practically a massive Popsicle. It had been moved to now the next Friday, or this Friday now, giving our hanyou more time to ask Kagome to it.

He could employ the help of Miroku and Sango and such for this, but neither Inuyasha or Kagome had told anyone yet; they were saving it for when Chiaki got back into school. Which was tomorrow.

And now Ms. Higurashi had employed Kagome and Inuyasha for snow shoveling. She looked out the window at the two shoveling, and almost laughed. 'It's been a while since they've had any alone time...' she thought, before taking a sip of her coffee from her new cappuccino machine.

Both Inuyasha and Kagome looked at the kitchen after hearing a howl along with a mass assortment of clanging and explosions from the kitchen area. "I think she just had her mid afternoon coffee..." Kagome said half-heartedly before getting back to work shoveling.

"Damn, you can practically time her on the dot when she drinks that crap," Inuyasha said. He readjusted the shovel in his hands, and continued scooping the white fluff.

After a few minutes, Kagome stopped to catch a breather. "This would be a lot... (inhale) easier if it wasn't still (sniff) snowing..."

"Keh, it's not that hard," Inuyasha scoffed, continuing to shovel.

Kagome placed a hand on her hip. "Says the hanyou with only jeans and a t-shirt on."

"Your point being?"

"Ugh," Kagome threw up her hands in defeat. "Never mind," She picked back up her shovel and began to shovel with more tenacity.

Not much time passed before most of the area was shoveled and bare from snow. The two were resting near the Goshinboku, looking at the product of their work. "Not too shabby."

"Keh. We still have another half of the stupid place to go, and you say 'Not too shabby'?" Inuyasha said annoyingly, before rolling his eyes.

"I was just trying to be positive about this, and it's two third the way done, not half. "She retorted, dramatically rolling her eyes to make fun of the half demon.

"Are you mocking me wench?"

"Hey! What did I tell you about calling me that!"

Inuyasha stared off into the sky for a moment as if remembering, though he knew very well what he had just done. " Not to say it?"

"Good dog."

"Hey!"

"We never made an agreement on whether or not I could call you a dog, Inuyasha." Kagome said, finger in the air as stating a fact.

Inuyasha was not too happy now. He shoved his arms over his chest, the pout clearly on his face and ears in discomfort from their position under his hat.

"Oh Inuyasha, I was just playing." Kagome said sweetly, crawling over to his side and sitting down. "I'm not gonna call you a dog all the time. Makes me sound like I'm insulting you like Kouga or something."

He didn't budge.

"Fine. Be mad. I can do that too!" she growled before walking over to the other side of the large tree and sitting down. She hugged her legs against her chest to help fight against the cold.

It wasn't long until she heard the hanyou walking through the snow to her. He sat down loudly and moved up close to her body (KZ - I rhymed!). "Will you prove to me that you won't call me a dog?"

"Depends on what you demand." She shot out coldly.

"It's nothing Miroku would say if that's what you mean." he retorted before pulling her closer to his body. "I meant kiss me."

That was a new one. "Huh? K-kiss you? Right now?"

"No time like the present."

"Um, okay..." She gently rolled up onto her knees to reach, and lay her lips on his.

It didn't take long to tell that Inuyasha had been watching more movies than usual, since he almost immediately grabbed hold of her body and neck in a practiced way and pushed her against his mouth. Not that she minded, though.

Okay, now she minded. Obviously either a movie, website, or Miroku had gotten some idea into Inuyasha's mind since his tongue was trying to get into her mouth. "Uh-uh." she mumbled. Her eyes opened half way in annoyance.

Inuyasha let go and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "Guess I got carried away."

"I guess you've either been on the internet, watching sappy movies or talking with Miroku recently."

His face was one of shock. "How did you know!"

"What you just attempted was a French kiss, and should not be attempted again. The first part was can be, though." With out another word she went back to her shoveling.

Okay, I now that this was a filler, but the plot will be thickening up soon. MWAHAHHAHAHA!

Review?...

(Holy crap, this chapter is absolutely awful. It does nothing for the plot or... ANYTHING! ICK! You really don't have to review.)
