Ch.9 Halloween

RECAP.

"You don't think your better off...with...that guy?" He asked her hesitantly. She leaned over and kissed him.

"Of course not. I'm better off here." She told him as she closed her eyes and leaned over to kiss him once again. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer with a smile. She tried to straighten herself so she wasn't leaning when she leaned to much making them fall back off the log.

"Ugh...nice Kagome." Inuyasha said lying on his back with his legs on the log. Kagome lied beside him uncomfortably.

"Uh huh." She agreed as she got up. She was going to get up to sit back on the log when Inuyasha pulled her back and picked her up as he stood. "What are you doing?" She asked but he didn't answer as he kept walking. He sat down with his back against the tree with Kagome still in his arms. He leaned down to kiss her once again. He pulled away and pulled her to lie against him. When Sango and Miroku returned they went straight to bed. Miroku was afraid to say anything when Inuyasha gave him a warning look. Kagome had already fallen asleep while Inuyasha held her close to him. He sat up and pulled off his haori and lied it over her. He had put it back on after it had dried. He was starting to like being able to hold her close as she slept.

'She dosn't believe I won't leave her. She still thinks i'll go off with Kikyo.' Inuyasha thought, his ears fell flat against his head as he looked at her. 'Dosn't she trust me? Well I really never gave her a reason to trust me. I'm always being a jerk to her...i'll just have to make her trust me. Kagome, i'm not going to leave you.' He thought as he dozed off into a deep sleep.

END.RECAP.

Kagome awoke to a warmth surrounding her and realized what it was from when she opened her eyes. She smiled and leaned against Inuyasha as he slept. She looked at him once again when he started mumbling something and saw him open his eyes and he saw her confused look.

"I said stop moving." He told her as he held her close and closed his eyes.

"Oh, sorry." She apologized. He smirked and kissed her forehead.

"Come on, we should get up." He said as he let go of his hold on her.

"But Sango and Miroku are...umm...where's Miroku and Sango?" Kagome asked as she looked around realizing they were missing and got up. Then she realized so were Kilala and Shippo.

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked when she started walking away. She turned her head to look and him and smiled.

"A walk. Wanna come?" She asked as he stood.

"Sure." He said as he walked beside her. "You might get kidnapped if I don't." He smirked. She smiled and reached her hand into his as her cheeks lightened into a reddish tint. He looked over at her and smiled as he gave her hand a small squeeze. "Where we going?"

"I don't know. I guess the stream...but no getting to close." She said as she glarred at him. He chuckled and nodded.

"Ok, no getting close to the water. What about in?" He smirked.

"Don't even think it buster." She glarred and faced forward as she kept walking.

"Fine." He said as they walked over to the stream. Kagome sat on the ground next to the stream and patted the ground next to her for Inuyasha to sit. "What...Why do you still think I would go after Kikyo?" Inuyasha asked hesitantly after he sat down.

"I thought you asked me this yesterday?" Kagome asked him as she turned to look at him.

"Well i'm asking you again. Why? This time I want the whole truth." Inuyasha told her.

"You could ask nicely." She told him as she rolled her eyes.

"Kagome...why?" He asked again, it was now killing him inside to know.

"Why does it matter to you?" She asked him a little irritated by his demanding.

"Because it does. I want to know Kagome." He told her. She sighed and at first he thought she wasn't going to answer.

"Why do we have to talk about this?" Sheasked him with a sigh, now looking away from him and starring at the water.

"Because I need to know. If it hurts to tell me then just come out with it. Don't hold back just tell me Kagome." He told her softly. She looked at him but turned back to the water and closed her eyes.

"Because...you loved her Inuyasha." She told him simply.

"I did, your right. I 'loved' her. Not right now. I love you Kagome." He told her as he stroked her arm. She jumped from his touch, not wanting to be touched by him at the moment.

"Don't touch me right now. This is bad enough your making me talk about this. Inuyasha everyone saw how you were hesitant about saving me the other day. You said you wanted to stay with me...well why did you wait to decide? You even sounded surprised that Kikyo would do something like that! It's not like it was the first time that's happend! I don't know wh...wait..." Kagome said with a tear rolling down her cheeks and realized what she had said.

"What do you mean not the first time?" Inuyasha asked. She shook her head and looked to the ground as more tears rolled down.

"Kagome tell me! What do you mean not the first time!" He asked her but she still stayed quiet. "Fucking tell me right now!"

"I don't have to tell you anything Inuyasha! You weren't there so it dosn't matter! I think you'd go back to Kikyo cause of the way you still look at her! I'm happy that you told her you loved me but I don't know if you'd change your mind the next time you see her like you did the other night! You say you love me but then the moment she appears everything changes! I've answered your question now! Just...leave me alone right now." Kagome said as she got up and walked away. Inuyasha wanted to say something to stop her but smelled her tears and felt like she was right.

'I wouldn't leave her! Why does she think that! The other night...the other night I was able to tell Kikyo I didn't love her and that I love Kagome. Kikyo isn't anything to me...right? Dammit Kagome! I love you not Kikyo!' He thought as he starred at the stream. He sat there for a long while thinking before he heard a rustle off to the side but didn't budge to see what it was hoping it was a demon to come and kill him but then recognized the scent as Miroku came and sat next to him.

"Kagome was crying but she calmed about an hour ago." Miroku said as he sat. Inuyasha nodded with a sigh. "Lovers spat?" Miroku asked trying to lighten the mood.

"Not now Miroku." Inuyasha told him without letting his gaze leave the water.

"Sorry. So what happend?" He asked as he looked off at the water too. Inuyasha just shook his head with a sigh.

"Kagome said that wasn't the first time Kikyo attacked her...I never knew about that." He said softly.

"Oh...you mean like when Kikyo tried to steal the shards from her?" Miroku asked him.

"What? So she did attack her then? Kagome never told me anything about it. How come you know about it?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to look at Miroku.

"Kagome told Sango and Sango told me. Inuyasha that's not the only time Kikyo has come after her. Kagome never wanted to tell you cause she thought you loved Kikyo and didn't want to trouble you with those small things according to her." Miroku explained.

"What? Small things? She could have died and she calls that small things? So everytime I come and she's with Kikyo it's because of that?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yes, what'd you think? They we're sitting around having tea and having girl talk? Inuyasha why else do you think she's scared of Kikyo?" Miroku asked a little irritated at how he never noticed.

"I thought Kagome just hated Kikyo...why didn't she ever tell me?" He wondered aloud.

"I told you why. Kagome isn't about to bad talk anyone and you know it. Even Kikyo. Just give her some time. She'll be ok. I think she just needs time to think." Miroku explained.

"Ya...give her time. Well I don't have a choice since she told me to leave her alone." Inuyasha sighed for what seemed to be the thousandth time now. "But she still thinks i'll leave her." Inuyasha said and looked the other way.

"Then prove to her you wont. Who do you love? Kikyo or Kagome?" Miroku asked him.

"Kagome." He said without even a moment to think about it. "Always been Kagome. I don't think i've ever loved Kikyo. Damn Miroku what do I do?" Inuyasha asked as he starred off at the water.

"Your asking me? Wait...your actually asking for help?" Miroku asked, surprised. "Sorry...just surprised." He said when Inuyasha gave him a narrowed look. "Inuyasha just do what you think you should do. Whatever comes to you." Miroku explained. Inuyasha thought about for a second and stood up. "What are you doing?"

"What ever comes to me." Inuyasha said with a smirk and walked away.

"So how's Inuyasha?" Sango asked as she walked over to Miroku.

"I think he's ok now. What about Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"She wanted to be alone. You think they'll be alright?" Sango asked as she sat down next to him.

"Ya...I think they'll be just fine." Miroku smirked. Sango leaned over and kissed Miroku on the cheek. Miroku looked at her out of confusion. "What was that for?"

"For being nice about helping Inuyasha...and for me." She blushed as she smiled at him.

"Oh really?" He asked deviously.

"Ya. Besides I figured you'd never..." She started but was cut off when Miroku leaned in and covered her mouth with his own. "What was that for?" Sango asked when he pulled away.

"For me." He stated simply with a smirk as he looked at the water. Sango blushed and just leaned against him.

INUYASHA.AND.KAGOME.

Inuyasha walked over to the campsite and found Kagome lying on her sleeping bag with her back to him. He walked over to her and stroked her cheek. She opened her eyes to look at him and sighed when she saw it was him.

"Inuyasha not no..." She started but stopped when he put his fingers to her lips.

"You spoke now it's my turn." He told her as he motioned for her to move over. She scooted over and let him sit on the sleeping bag. "Kagome you should have told me when Kikyo came after you. At least I would know how to respond and know why you don't like Kikyo coming around since your scared of her, instead of having me think you just hate her." Inuyasha explained.

"I'm not scared of her!" Kagome protested as she sat up.

"Kagome when I found you that one time when Kikyo had stolen your shards you were on the ground with a terrified look. I never thought anything of it...I actually forgot about it until you brought up her attacking you. Now you tell me you arn't afraid of her." He told her. She looked away from him and he nodded. "Listen...you have full right not to trust me to leave you I guess. I understand what you meant about the other night. But that night I was able to tell Kikyo I love you and i'm going to prove to you that I wont leave you." He told her and reached into his haori and pulled out his locket.

"Wha...You still have that?" Kagome asked, shock evident in her voice.

"Ya, I want you to keep this for now and when you think you can trust me enough not to leave you then I want you to give it back to me." Inuyasha explained as he put it around her neck.

"No Inuyasha, I gave this to you." Kagome said as she looked at the gold locket.

"I know and I want you to give it back to me when you know you can trust me not to leave you." Inuyasha said once again. Kagome frowned and looked at the locket again.

"Ok.." She agreed and opened up the locket. She smiled when she saw the pictures. "We seriously need to go back to my time and take better pictures." Kagome said with a giggle. "My time! Oh my god! Inuyasha! Sota!" Kagome remembered and jumped up to her feet. "I have to take the costume to my time!" Kagome said and ran to her backpack.

"But the jewel shards." Inuyasha said as he watched her rummage through her backpack and pull out the costume pieces.

"But I promised Sota! I can't break a promise. It meant so much to him that I was going to be there for him." Kagome explained. Inuyasha sighed and nodded.

"Fine. When is Halloween?" He asked.

"Umm..." She went through her backpack once again and pulled out a small planner and opened to the calender section. "Oh no! Halloween is tomorrow! I guess after all that's been happening I totally forgot." Kagome said and sighed as she sat on the ground. "He wanted to wear it to school too. We're to far from the well. We won't be able take it to him. I can't believe I forgot." She said with her hands over her face feeling so bad that she broke her promise to her brother.

"Don't give up yet. Come on. We can make it there tonight and give him the costume and tell Miroku and Sango to either wait here or go to the next village." Inuyasha explained.

"Really?" Kagome asked as she looked up at him.

"Ya stay here for a minute." Inuyasha told her as he ran off toward the stream and found Miroku and Sango sitting in front of it. "Hey i'm going to take Kagome home for maybe a day or two. You guys go to the next village or head back to Kaede's." Inuyasha told them.

"What? Why is she going home?" Sango asked and stood up.

"For her brother. She needs to get home." Inuyasha explained hurriedly.

"Um...ok, we'll stay in the next village." Miroku told him and at the moment Inuyasha turned around and headed back to Kagome.

"Ok come on Kagome." Inuyasha told her as he helped her shove all her stuff in her backpack.

"Oh...ok...but let's leave my stuff for them...maybe just the first aid kit and some food." Kagome told him as she took out a picnic blanket and put the first aid kit and other stuff in it for them. She put everything in her backpack and put the bag on her back.

"Ok you done?" He asked and she nodded and he turned around for her to get on his back. Once she got on his back he grabbed her legs and she held his shoulders and he took off.

"Thanks Inuyasha." She said as she lied her head on his shoulder. He smirked and kept running without saying a word.

MODERN.ERA.

"INUYASHA!" Sota yelled when he saw Inuyasha exit the well house and ran over to him leaving his soccer ball to be forgotten.

"Hey Sota, we got your costume." Inuyasha said quietly since Kagome was asleep.

"Cool! Are you and Kagome going to go trick-or-treating with me? You can go in that and Kagome could wear one of her old costumes i'm sure it would fit. So will you go? It will be fun!" Sota rattled on as Inuyasha nodded as he walked to the house. "You will! Thanks Inuyasha!" Sota said and ran upstairs.

"Wait! Sota! What did I agree to!" Inuyasha yelled when he saw Sota run off.

"I thought I heard you Inuyasha. What's wrong with Kagome?" Ms. Higurashi asked as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Nothing she's asleep. I'm going to take her upstairs." Inuyasha said as he walked up the stairs. He placed her in her bed and tucked her in before walking back downstairs when he heard the doorbell ring. He grabbed his hat and tried to figure who it was and a low growl rumbled in his chest when he recognized the scent. The scent that would always surround Kagome when she came to his time.

"What are you doing here?" Sota asked with the door slightly open.

"I was wondering if Kagome was in. There's going to be a party tomorrow at my house and I wanted to see if she wanted to go." Hojo explained with a smile.

"She's asleep." Inuyasha said gruffly as he stepped behind Sota.

"Oh. Well will you tell her about it Sota? It's going to be at nine-thirty." Hojo explained.

"Sure. Bye Hojo." Sota said as he closed the door. He sighed as he stood there then looked up at Inuyasha. "Why don't you tell him that Kagome is your girlfriend? I bet that would stop him from bothering my sister." Sota told him.

"Uhh what?" Inuyasha asked, surprised a little boy would be telling him this.

"Arn't you Kagome's boyfriend?" Sota asked a little confused. "Don't you love her?"

"Yes but what do you know about that stuff?" Inuyasha asked as he crouched down.

"I'm not little anymore Inuyasha. I know stuff." Sota told him with a roll of his eyes.

"Are you boys hungry? I have dinner ready." Ms. Higurashi said from the kitchen.

"Coming mom!" Sota yelled as he ran to the bathroom to wash up.

"Inuyasha would you go get Kagome please?" Ms. Higurashi stuck her head out of the kitchen. He nodded and walked upstairs to Kagome's room to find her sitting up on her bed.

"Hey, I didn't know I fell asleep." Kagome said when Inuyasha walked in her room.

"Ya, about the moment we left." Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." She said with a yawn as she streached.

"Pretty much. Your mom made dinner though, she wanted me to come get you." He told her and turned to the door.

"What did you say to Hojo?" Kagome asked before he walked out. Inuyasha growled at the mention of his name and turned around with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I thought you were asleep?" He asked as he walked over to her.

"I was. But I dunno...I woke up maybe?" She explained as she too crossed her arms but for a different reason since it was cold as she pushed the blanket away from her.

"No kidding. I just told him you were asleep. Sota did all the talking." Inuyasha explained as he lied back on the bed and closed his eyes.

"Tired?" She asked as she wrapped the blanket around her.

"No, just thinking." He told her. She lied on her stomach and brought her face next to his.

"About what?" She asked him curiously. He opened his eyes and looked at her for a minute before answering.

"Tomorrow. I think I agreed to go trick-or-treating with Sota tomorrow." Inuyasha told her with a confused look on his face.

"Well you have fun with that then. I will be here when you get back." Kagome laughed at what he got himself into.

"No...you won't. I think I agreed you'd go too." He told her and she stopped laughing when he said that.

"You did? Why?...no...it's ok. Alright i'll go." Kagome said with a smirk.

"Kagome...? Why will you go?" He asked her carefully as he sat up and looked at her.

"I said I would go. But i'm not walking all that time." She told him as she got off the bed and walked to the door.

"I'm not carrying you." He told her in a mono-tone.

"Ok." She said simply as she walked downstairs. "Hey mom." Kagome greeted her mother with a hug as she entered the kitchen.

"Hello sweetie. Have a good nap?" Her mother asked her as she set the table.

"Ya, and I can't wait to go to school tomorrow." Kagome claimed happily.

"What? You never said anything about going to school." Inuyasha grabbed her arm.

"Ya but if I have to go with you tomorrow then I am." She smirked and pulled away from him and sat at the table. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he sat across from her at the table as the food was served.

THE.NEXT.DAY.

"Kagome! You finally came to school. I was getting worried." Eri said as the usual three ran up to Kagome.

"Ya, hey. Whats up guys?" Kagome asked as her desk became surrounded.

"Nothing. So who exactly was that cute guy we saw you with last time? Like what is he to you?" Ayumi asked with a wide grin.

"He seems to dangerous. You shouldn't hang out with him." Eri told her.

"Then can I have him?" Ayumi asked hopeful.

"Maybe you guys should let Kagome choose who she wants to hang out with...and also give her a chance to answer one question at a time." Yuka told the two.

"Thanks Yuka. Inuyasha isn't dangerous." Kagome answered. "He actually protects me."

"So he's the over obsessive jerk your always talking about?" Eri asked.

"He's not really over obsessive. Kinda jealous but he is really sweet and I only said all that cause I was mad at him." Kagome explained.

"So he's still your boyfriend?" Ayumi asked.

"Yes, he's actually really sweet. He cares about me..." She started but then an image of Kikyo popped in her head. She started playing with the locket around her neck and became quiet.

"What's wrong?" Yuka asked her worriedly.

"Oh nothing." Kagome said with a forced smile. The teacher came in and everyone took their seats. Kagome couldn't stay focused on her work as she thought about Inuyasha. She looked at the locket and remembered the day she gave it to him. Then what he told her the day he said he loved her.

'I don't think...No I never truly loved Kikyo. I knew being a hanyou had it's disadvantages, one being disliked. So when I 'thought' Kikyo liked me I stuck around because I was actually being liked by someone. I thought I was being accepted for once. Truth is I wasn't. Kikyo never accepted me. She wanted me to become human, but i'm not human. She never actually cared for me as me. But you...you did Kagome.' She remembered him saying as if he had told her it this morning. 'I didn't mean to give you the empression that I just decided to just be with you all of a sudden. I want to be with you because you mean alot to me. I love you Kagome. There is no other person I love as much as you. Do you understand?' She thought about it and sighed. She shook her head.

"No Inuyasha...I don't understand at all." She said quietly to herself keeping back the tears that threatened to fall since she was still in school. Her thoughts were on Inuyasha and Kikyo most of the day and as the bell rang she gathered her stuff and left without saying a word to anyone taking the piece of paper Eri handed her.

'If Inuyasha still loves Kikyo then who am I to hold him back? He says he loves me but...' She shook her head as she walked out of the school.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked as he waited for her outside of the school.

'Should I talk to him about it? I know i'll probly end up crying but I want to know how he truly feels. I want Inuyasha to be happy no matter how miserable it may make me.' She though as she played with the locket still. She came out of her daze when she felt someone grab her arm.

"Inuyasha...what are you doing here?" Kagome asked a little surprised.

"I came to get you...is something wrong?" He asked her curiously.

"No why?" Kagome asked with a smile.

"Because i've been calling your name and you havn't heard me at all." He told her a little suspiciously.

"Oh sorry. Just thinking." She said as she kept walking hoping he'd drop the subject.

"What's this?" He asked as he took the paper she was holding.

"Oh I don't know. I havn't looked at it yet." Kagome told him as she looked at the paper while he held it.

"This must be that party Homo was talking about." Inuyasha said as he read through the paper.

"It's Hojo. And why didn't you tell me about it?" Kagome asked him giving his a narrowed look.

"I must have forgotten. Are you going?" He asked her.

"I don't know...I mean wouldn't it be rude not to?" She asked. He shrugged and handed her the paper.

"You don't have to go if you don't want to." He told her.

"Ok how about I only go if you go with me." She smiled enjoying his company at the moment. He smirked and put his arm over her shoulders.

"Why would you want me at this?" He asked her with a chuckle.

"Are you telling me for once you wouldn't follow me there?" Kagome asked faking a shocked empression.

"It's not that. I would have just gotten you to stay with me." He laughed at the look he gave her.

"Well fine then." She said and pushed his arm off her. "I was thinking it'd be nice to spend some time with you without there being demons or my brother but if you feel that way..."She said as she walked away. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back turning her to face him.

"Well if you put it that way..." He said softly as he leaned down to kiss her. She forgot about her walking off just now as he used those powers he had over her from his magical kisses.

"So you'll go to the party with me?" She asked as he pulled away but hovered an inch above her lips.

"If it means being with you." He told her softly, grazing her lips with his. She pulled away and dragged him by the hand. These were the type of times that made her question herself about how he truly feels. He was so confusing. "Ok do we really have to hurry?" He asked as she walked faster.

"Do you remember that promise you made my brother?" She asked him. He sighed as he rolled his eyes.

"Dammit." He sighed as he followed her to her house. He looked at her as she ran the locket back and forth on the chain. 'Why is she doing that? Is she thinking about Kikyo?' He wondered as he watched her.

"So what are you dressing up as?" Kagome asked him as she turned to look at him.

"Oh um, I don't know. I have to dress up?" He asked her in a droaning tone.

"Yes, that's what halloween is about. You dress up as something. It's the day of the dead. You could always just wear...your normal clothes and bring your sword...just don't take it out of it's sheath." She warned him.

"Works for me." He smirked. "Do I have to wear this hat?" He asked her as he started to take it off.

"Yes! Well tonight you don't have to but right now you do." She said as she stopped him from taking it off.

"What if I do take it off now?" He asked her with a smirk.

"You could be shot." She told him and watched him drop his hand from the hat. "I'm just kidding. I don't know what would happen but nothing good." She assured him with a giggle.

"Whatever." He sighed as they walked into her house.

"Kagome! Look!" Sota said as he walked out with his outfit on as he held the armour in his hand. "I just don't know how to put this on. I just left it home while I was at school." He said as he held the armour out to her.

"I'll help you." Kagome giggled as she crouched down and helped put the armour part on him. "You know...Sango made this stuff." She said with a smile and tied the shoulder armour on his shoulder.

"Really? Wow that's cool. Does she have armour like this too?" Sota asked in amazement. Inuyasha leaned against the wall and smirked as he watched her.

"Yup, so does her little brother. I think that's how she was able to make it." She said with a sad smile at the thought of Kohaku.

"Wow! I'm going to be careful with this on so I can keep it!" Sota said with a wide smile as he watched his sister put the rest of the armour on him.

"Good idea. Just promise your going to stay with either me or Inuyasha the whole night." She told him.

"I will. But even if I did get lost I could take care of myself." Sota said as he rolled his eyes.

"I know. I just want to spend time with you for once." Kagome smiled. He nodded and hugged her. She was surprised but hugged him back.

"I'm going to go play video games till we go." Sota said as he pulled away and run up to his room. Kagome nodded and watched him go upstairs. Inuyasha shook his head and grabbed her arm to pull her up from the floor.

"Come on." He said and led her upstairs.

"Wh-...ok." She said as she followed him up. He brought her into her room and closed the door as he leaned back against the door as he held both her arms so she was facing him.

"Why didn't you ever say you wanted to spend time with your brother?" Inuyasha asked softly as he leaned against her nuzzling her neck.

"...I did." She said shivering from the feeling.

"No you didn't." He said suddenly pulling away from her.

"Yes I did. When you wouldn't let me go home I would say that I would like to spend some time with my family." She told him.

"You did?" He asked trying to remember.

"Yeeees Inuyasha. When you would never let me go home." She told him.

"I just didn't want you to go." He said as he leaned into her once again.

"Ya?" She asked, a little dazed sounding as he nuzzled her neck once again.

"Mhm. I liked it when I could smell your scent near me." He admitted and kissed her on the neck.

"Hey Kagome." Sota said as he tried to open the door shoving Inuyasha forward into Kagome.

"Ow, have you ever tried knocking?" Inuyasha asked as he straightened up and rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh...sorry. Kagome what about your costume?" Sota asked as he walked into the room.

"I don't...have one." She said as she looked toward her closet.

"So...your not going to dress up?" Sota asked a little dissapointed.

"Well...umm...I guess I can ask mom where my old ones are." She said trying to cheer him up.

"Ok i'll go with you. Come on Inuyasha." Sota said as he grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her downstairs.

"Mom where's Kagome's old halloween costumes?" Sota asked as they walked into the living room.

"Kagome's old costumes? Would those still fit you Kagome?" Her mother asked her.

"Well I can try them on." She shrugged.

"Ok...I think their on the top shelf of your closet in a box." Her mother told her. Sota dragged her back upstairs to her room and walked to her closet.

"I'll get it." She said as she reached up and brought down the box. "Wow..." She said as she almost dropped the box. Inuyasha came over and took the box from her and put it on the bed.

"What kind of costumes you got in here?" Inuyasha asked as he opened the box. Kagome walked over and pushed him back.

"My kind. Actually I don't remember, it's been so long." She said as she reached in and pulled out a short white skirt. "Oh wow...what was this." She said as she looked at the very short white skirt.

"Remember! You went as a fairy in the skirt." Sota told her. "That was the halloween that you fell in the lake." Sota laughed.

"Oh ya...don't remind me." She said and put the skirt on her bed and pulled out the rest of the clothing that went to that costume. "What was this one?" She asked as she pulled out a very short black skirt and shirt with mid length sleeves. "Isn't this the witch costume?" She asked as she put it on her bed.

"Ya I think so." Sota said as he looked at the costume.

"Wow...I sure wore alot of short skirts." Kagome said as she looked at both costumes. Inuyasha just stood to the side looking at the costumes. She reached into the box and pulled out a pink leotard with something connected to the back of it. "Oh wow...what was going through my mind when I bought these costumes?" She asked as she layed it on the bed.

"You were always with your three friends when you bought them." Sota told her rolling his eyes at the thought of those three.

"That explains so much." She said and dumped everything else out of the box. "Well it's either one of those three or...I could just go as me." She smiled brightly at Sota as she pleaded.

"One of the three. You have to wear a costume. Even Inuyasha is dressing up...even if he's going as himself. But it's different for him." Sota explained.

"Fine." She sighed. "I'm gonna feel really skimpy this halloween." Kagome said as she spread out the costumes on her bed. "So...fairy, witch or cat...thing?" She asked as she looked at the costumes. Inuyasha and Sota both looked at the costumes then back at her. Kagome rolled her eyes and went to her closet. "Fine. I have a better idea...cause I don't want to wear something I wore before." She said as she rummaged through her clothes in her closet. She pulled out a white v-neck shirt with long flowing sleeves like Inuyashas sleeves to his haori but with a longer point and a lace hem at the end of the sleeves. "Get out." She told them.

"What are you going to do?" Sota asked her.

"What do you think i'm going to do?" She asked in a mono-tone. "I'm going to change. Get out." She told them as she shooed them to the door.

"Ok ok." Inuyasha said as he led Sota out of the room and they walked downstairs to the living room. She smiled to herself and changed out of her school uniform into the white top and short white skirt from the fairy costume. The white skirt had a ripped effect at the bottom to make it look like it was torn so one side was longer then the other. She took the fairy wings and shaped the wire inside the material so the wings were more rounder to look more like angel wings then fairy wings. "Ugh." She realized she still needed to put the wings on and took her shirt off and pinned the wings to the back of her shirt and put it back on. She went to her closet and pulled out white pumps. She sat on her bed to pull them onto her feet before going over to her mirror to put on make-up for the outfit. She dug through her drawers to find her make-up and put on base. After digging some more she put on a little bit of white eye shadow, mascara and lip gloss. Then some glitter to top it all off. She looked in the mirror at herself and touched the locket that was around her neck. She sighed as she walked out of the room and walked downstairs. "How's this?" She asked as she walked into the living room.

"Is the skirt short enough?" Sota asked with a disgusted look. She glarred at him.

"It's the only thing I have...or you know, I could always stay home." She smirked.

"No it'll do!" Sota told her and ran to his room to grab Inuyasha's sword. Inuyasha looked her up and down with the costume and noticed he had a wide ranged view of her legs.

"That's shorter then the skirt you usually wear." He stated.

"No kidding. What gave you the first clue?" She asked and rolled her eyes and turned to walk into the kitchen.

"Holy shit." He said quietly to himself as he watched her walk away. The tight shirt showed off every one of her curves.

"What do you think of this mom?" Kagome asked as she showed off the costume to her mom.

"Umm...wow Kagome. It's really cute...but you'll be with Inuyasha right?" Her mother asked carefully.

"...ya...why?" Kagome asked.

"Cause I don't want you to get kidnapped...or raped." Her mother joked as she laughed.

"Ha ha ha." Kagome rolled her eyes once again and sat at the kitchen table.

"Ok i'm sorry. No it's cute. I think i'm going to bann you from going shopping with those three girls for now on." Ms. Higurashi said as she sat at the table too.

"Oh my god! Thank you so much!" Kagome thanked happily.

"Oh...your welcome." Ms. Higurashi said hesitantly. "Here I want you to take this with you." She said as she handed her a cell phone.

"Ok. There's going to be a party later tonight at Hojo's house. Is it ok if I go? I'm going to take Inuyasha with me." Kagome asked.

"Sure. Just be careful sweetie." Her mother smiled and got up and walked out of the kitchen. Kagome sighed and looked around the kitchen.

"I wonder when we're going." She wondered.

"Umm...who are you talking to?" Sota asked as he looked around once he entered the kitchen.

"Oh...no one." She said when she realized he was there.

"Oooook." He said carefully and ran over to the table. "Mom's talking to Inuyasha. We're going to go trick-or-treating after mom finishes talking to him." Sota explained and went to the kitchen counter and got an apple and then walked back and sat on a chair at the table. Kagome smiled as she looked at her brother in the black and dark blue slayer clothing. "Are you going to that party?"

"Ya...with Inuyasha. Is it ok with you?" She asked him curiously.

"Ya you should go. You should kiss Inuyasha in front of Hojo so he will leave you alone too." Sota smirked as he nodded.

"What! Sota I think you need to stop watching so much t.v." Kagome giggled as she ruffled up her brother's hair from the comment. "I don't think Hojo will come near me tonight." She told him and leaned forward to him. "I don't think Inuyasha will let him." She whispered.

"Kagome! Sota!" They heard their mother call and went to the living room. "You go ahead and go and have fun." Ms. Higurashi smiled and gave Sota a trick-or-treat bag.

"Ok bye mom!" Sota said as he ran outside.

"Bye mom." Kagome said as she walked over to the front of the house dragging Inuyasha with her.

They were waiting on the sidewalk of someone's house while Sota went up to the house for candy with his friends that decided to join them.

"So what did you and my mom talk about?" Kagome asked him grabbing his attention from looking at what Sota was doing.

"Oh you know. I told her how you lost your powers and that your powers will grow and also that you got kidnapped by that coyote demon." He explained. She looked at him wide eyed.

"Inuyasha! Why did you tell her that!" Kagome asked afraid what her mom would say when it comes time to go back to the feudal era.

"Kagome! Calm down. I didn't tell her that." He chuckled. She glarred at him and hit him on the arm. "She just told me to watch out for you and your brother." He said simply as he rubbed his arm.

"Jerk." She said and started walking to the next house down the sidewalk as Sota and his friend cut through the grass to get to the next house.

"Hey! I was only kidding Kagome." He said as he caught up with her.

"If you ever told my mom that I probably wouldn't ever be able go back to the feudal era." She told him when he stood in front of her to get her to stop walking away from him.

"Well that would be bad then. I guess I know not to ever tell her what goes on her daughter's life then." He said and she rolled her eyes and walked around him.

"You make it sound like I don't tell her anything." She said as she stopped to wait for her brother. He sighed and stood beside her with his arms crossed. She crossed her arms too and watched her brother run back to them with the bag swinging in his hands. "Don't swing it so much or you'll lose most of it." Kagome laughed. He stopped and looked at his sister then at Inuyasha then rolled his eyes as he walked ahead with his friends. Kagome sighed before following them.

"I never said you don't tell her anything. Come on Kagome I was only kidding, don't get so mad." Inuyasha said as he walked up beside her and brought her closer to him with his arm around her from behind.

"Fine. Only cause my brother even thinks we're pathetic." She sighed then saw Sota's friends walk another way. "What happend Sota?"

"Oh I told them i'd see them tomorrow at school. I'm going to hang out with you and Inuyasha for now." Sota said as he walked to them to walk next to them.

"Ok. What did you guys talk about?" Kagome asked.

"Nothing. We were saying where we got our costumes and..." He started until Kagome cut in.

"You didn't tell them whereyours came from did you!" Kagome asked quickly.

"Umm...no...I said I got it specially made..." Sota answered slowly.

"Oh ok. Sorry." Kagome sighed in relief.

"Damn, calm down Kagome." Inuyasha told her as he rubbed her side.

"Ya...my friend is having a sleep over and i'm going to see if I can go. It's this weekend. That's why I'm staying you guys for now since i'll see them this weekend." Sota explained.

"Oh thanks. I'm glad to hear you want to hang out with us so badly." Kagome told him. He shrugged before running to the door of the next house.

Sota had collected three big bags of candy from two hours of walking around.

"Oh my god my legs are killing me." Kagome complained as they were walking back home to leave Sota there.

"Did you want me to carry you to the party?" Inuyasha asked with a roll of his eyes.

"Ya...right...and allow everyone who walks behind a full view of my...of under my skirt." She told him with a blush. "Anyways i'll ask my mom if we can borrow the car." Kagome told him with a sigh. Inuyasha shook his head and led her inside with a half asleep Sota in his arms. Kagome sat on the couch the moment she got inside. Inuyasha took Sota up to his room to put him in his bed after taking the armour off of him.

"Inuyasha?" Sota asked sleepily.

"Ya kid?" Inuyasha asked quietly.

"Good-night." Sota said and turned over in his bed. Inuyasha smirked as he walked out of the room.

"Night Sota." He said and walked downstairs. Kagome was already at the door with the car keys in her hands.

"Come on, We got the car. I don't have to walk. Thank the gods." Kagome said happily as she walked outside to the car. Inuyasha chuckled and sat in the passenger seat as Kagome started the car. Kagome pulled into a house three blocks away and Inuyasha looked over at her.

"Are you serious? You couldn't walk that much?" He asked her as he got out.

"No, my legs hurt from walking for that long just to take Sota trick-or-treating!" Kagome said as she got out and walked around the car to Inuyasha. She looked at all the people that were just arriving and saw a few crazy looking costumes. She sighed and started walking ahead to the house. Inuyasha followed her to the house. Instead of going inside they walked around the house to the backyard where the party was.

"Hey sexy, looking good." Some guy said as they walked through the crowds. Inuyasha growled and put his arm around Kagome instantly. She would have rolled her eyes if she didn't feel uncomfortable from the remark.

"Want some punch?" She asked him as they walked to the punch table. He shrugged as she poured him a cup and handed it to him.

"Hey Kagome. Glad you came." Hojo said as he walked over to her. "Hey Inuyasha." He said with a smile.

"Hi." Inuyasha responded dryly. Kagome elbowed him in side before speaking.

"Ya we just got here. Umm...where's your costume?" Kagome asked she looked at him.

"Oh I have to change into it. I just got done putting out the food. I wanted to say you looked good tonight. I like your costume. An angel fits you perfectly." Hojo smirked. A growl began to rumble in Inuyasha's chest as he glarred at Hojo. She blushed as she looked down.

"Oh..thanks Hojo. Well we'll see you in a bit, we're going to go dance." Kagome said as she put hers and Inuyasha's cups down and dragged Inuyasha away. Inuyasha looked back then turned to Kagome.

"He's watching you." Inuyasha growled as he looked at Hojo without his noticing. She sighed as she looked over at Inuyasha and shrugged. He smirked as he got an idea and turned her face to his as he dipped down to kiss her. She was surprised when he brought his hand behind her to pull her closer. Kagome pulled away slowly and looked up at him.

"You've been talking to Sota havn't you?" She asked quietly.

"What makes you say that?" He asked her still an inch away from her lips.

"He told me the same thing. You just want Hojo to stay away, that's why you did that." Kagome giggled.

"Well that's only a plus side to it. At least I know he won't try to take you away from me tonight." He said softly. He looked to the side to see Hojo walking away. He smirked and dipped down for another kiss.

"KAGOME!" Yuka yelled as she ran over. Inuyasha grunted as he pulled away.

"What?" Kagome asked dissapointed from the shortened kiss.

"Umm...have you talked to Hojo yet?" Yuka asked looking from Kagome to Inuyasha.

"Yes I have." She answered simply.

"Oh...hey, don't worry about Hojo anymore. I think he saw you kissing Inuyasha, and if he dosn't get the hint then i'll help you out." Yuka said with a wink. Kagome smiled at her long time friend and nodded.

"Thanks Yuka. Your the best." Kagome said.

"No problem. You and your boyfriend have fun...but not to much." She said with a wink as she walked off. Kagome laughed at her comment.

"Wow I think she's the only ok friend you have here." Inuyasha smirked.

"Ya I thought you'd think that. Come on you have to dance with me." Kagome said as she dragged him into the crowd where the music could be heard better.

"...Why?" He asked hesitantly.

"Cause you came with me. It's ok i'll show you." She said as she turned to face him and put his hands at her sides for the slow song. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she slowly rocked side to side. He looked down at her feet and mimicked her movement. Kagome giggled as he looked a little lost at first but it seemed to fade away.

"What?" He asked her since she was laughing.

"Nothing. See this isn't so bad is it?" She asked as she rested her head against his chest.

"No not that bad." He smirked. "I don't have to wear something uncomfortable either." He said as he strengthened his grip. She laughed at his comment and nodded.

"Ya. I don't mean for you have to wear stuff you don't like, you just can't go around like that or I might not be able to go to the feudal era anymore. It would cause alot of trouble." She explained as she looked up at him.

"I know." He smirked.

"You get so jealous all the time." Kagome said shaking her head.

"Not all the time." He defended.

"Ok excuse me. Everytime a guy comes around." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh well you see, that's because those guys think they can have you. He only said you fit an angel because he's trying to get on your good side." He explained to her with a low growl from the thought of Hojo.

"So your saying it's not true what he said?" She asked him curiously.

"Of course it was true, but your my angel only." He smiled. She blushed as he looked down at her.

"I guess I can go with that." She smiled.

"Oh ya?" He chuckled.

"Yup. Dosn't sound that bad. Just don't try to kill every guy please. Even Koga." She said having to clarify it for him.

"Ya but Koga is different. He needs to be taught a lesson." Inuyasha growled.

"No he dosn't, just leave him alone." Kagome told him.

"Whatever. But if he comes and tries to say his shit about you being his woman i'll do something about it." He warned her.

"Fine. Then i'll have to sit you if you get out of hand." She told him.

"You would do that to me?" He asked her as he leaned down and nuzzled her neck.

"You know it." She said as a shiver ran down her back. He let his hand go to the small of her back as he pulled her closer and started leaving kisses on her neck. "I-Inuyasha..." Her heart skipped a beat from the shock of the new feeling. She felt like her stomach was doing flips the moment his tongue touched her neck. She pushed him away a little nervous from the new feeling. She blushed when he looked at her. He nodded as he leaned forward covering her mouth with his own. The song had changed to a faster song but neither of them noticed until someone had bumped into them. "Let's sit down. My legs are starting to hurt again." Kagome told him over the loud music. They went over to the fountain and sat down on the ledge that was away from everyone.

"Look at the water." Inuyasha said mischevously.

"You push me in i'll sit you so much and when people ask me what happend i'll tell people you passed out and if they can't move you from the neckelace i'll just tell them you weigh alot more then you look." Kagome smirked. Inuyasha glarred at her and shook her head.

"Damn your a mean one." He smirked as he pulled her closer to him and grabbed the locket into his hands. "Kagome I love only you." Inuyasha told her as he leaned forward toward her neck once again. She pushed him back knowing what he meant.

"Inuyasha I know what you mean by that. Inuyasha we need to talk. This time no running from me or anything." She told him quietly. He looked down and nodded.

"Ok Kagome." He said softly.

"Inuyasha...Whe-..." She started but couldn't find herself to talk about it. She shook her head and looked down at the ground. Inuyasha rubbed her arm up and down trying to comfort her. She nodded and took a deep breath. "Inuyasha...do you remember the day you told me you loved me?" She asked him nervously.

"Ya...how can I forget?" He asked with a smirk. "Why?"

"Ok that night...oh god." She said looking up not wanting to be the one to bring this up, she sighed and looked back at him. "Let's just enjoy the night." She said and grabbed his arm and was about to get up but Inuyasha put his hand on top of hers and stopped her.

"I know what your talking about." He told her. She sighed, looking down at the ground. "Your talking about when I told you about Kikyo. Let me tell you something, i'm going to tell you everything...when Kikyo came and took you like that she asked what terrifies me so much...Kikyo was there before I knew anyone so for some reason I thought I had some kind of love her. I know it took me a while but I hate to tell you this actually...but I was trying to figure it out myself what it was I felt. When I confronted Kikyo I had realized that I love you Kagome and I didn't want anything to happen to you. I wanted to protect you like I should have in the first place, even if it was Kikyo. The only thing that went through my mind when I thought of who I truly loved was you Kagome." He told her. Kagome tried to wipe away the tears that were now falling but found it pointless as they continued to fall. It hurt him to see her cry especially when it was his fault. "If I really had loved Kikyo I wouldn't have told Kikyo that I love you. I told her to stop messing with you but...Kagome that was before I found she had attacked you before. I'm not going to allow her to ever come after you again. Not if I have anything to do with it." He explained. Yuka walked over when she saw Kagome crying.

"Kagome are you ok?" Yuka knealed down in front of her. Kagome nodded not trusting her voice to speak.

"Can you give us some time...please?" Inuyasha asked with his hand on Kagome's shoulder. Yuka looked at him for a minute before nodding. She rubbed Kagome's arm once more before leaving. Kagome tried to wipe her tears once again but found it hopeless. Inuyasha pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her as he brought her into a hug. "Kagome I love you so much. I don't know how else to prove it to you." He told her softly as he held her.

"Inuyasha...it's not that I don't love you, cause I do. I love you so much. I just want to see how you feel. Truthfully. I want you to be happy even if it was with Kikyo." Kagome explained as she tried to calm herself. Inuyasha pulled away from her to look at her.

"Kagome i'm happier with you. I know I said this before but I mean it...I know for sure that I don't love Kikyo. That day she met up with us was the day that proved it to me." He explained to her. "I never told anyone this but...do you remember a while back when the band of seven were ressurected?" He asked her.

"Inuyasha I almost died. That's not something I can forget." She told him as her crying had calmed.

"Ya I know that's the thing. It scared me so much that I thought I had lost you. I couldn't believe that could have happend to you. I was supposed to protect you and because of me I almost lost you for good. At first I thought there was a chance to get you breathing again but after a while I had figured it was over, I had lost you. I was so mad at myself and I took it out on everything. I didn't want to think of you as gone so I just started fights with anyone and anything. Kagome it scared me so much when I came that close to losing you." He explained quietly closing his eyes at the terrible memory.

"So when Shippo said you were crying...was it true?" She asked him, touching his face to get his attention so he would look at her. He gave her a look saying he wasn't answering. "Inuyasha I love you...don't think I don't..." She started. He stopped her from what she was going to say.

"I know. It's ok." He assured her. She nodded then laughed.

"I bet my mascara is smeared so much." She said as she wiped under her eyes trying to wipe away the make-up. "I'll be right back." She told him as she got up and headed for the house. He decided he would give her a little time alone. He sighed as he watched her walk inside the house.

'Kikyo I can't believe you sunk as low to try and hurt Kagome. It may have happend before but it won't anymore.' He thought as he kept looking at the house. A few minutes he saw Kagome walking back to him but was stopped by Hojo.

"Hey are you ok?" Hojo asked her.

"Ya i'm ok. Thanks." Kagome said and was about to continue walking until Hojo put his hand on her shoulder.

"Was it Inuyasha? Kagome maybe you shouldn't be with him. He seems to only hurt you. Eri told me about him and how he's jealous all the time and hung over his ex." Hojo told her.

"He's not. Like I told Eri, I only said that cause I was upset. It's not true. I was just talking about something sad with Inuyasha. Nothing to worry about." Kagome explained forcing a smile to hide her irritation. 'God, Inuyasha this is one of those times you need to come and intrude and act all jealous.' She thought as Hojo kept her there.

"You sure you should be with him?" Hojo asked as he shook his head.

"Yes I'm sure cause I love him." She told him.

"I don't think..." He started.

"You don't think what?" Inuyasha asked as he put his arm around Kagome.

'Thank god, I always knew you were my hero.' She thought with a smirk as she looked at Inuyasha.

"Nothing I was talking to Kagome." Hojo told him. "You think I could talk to her in private?" He asked him.

"No actually I came to steal Kagome away for a while. I hope you won't mind." Inuyasha told him.

"Sure. I'll talk to you later Kagome." Hojo said as he turned and walked away. Inuyasha let out the growl he was holding in as he watched him walk away.

"I did not feel like talking to him. I guess your jealousy is good sometimes." Kagome smirked as she hugged him burrying her face into his chest.

"Hey." He protested.

"Come on." She told him as she grabbed the sleeve of his haori and took him into the crowd. It was a faster song so there was alot more moving done. Kagome started swinging her hips to the beat. Inuyasha was a little surprised as he watched her dance. She laughed at his shocked face. "Just move to the beat...it's really easy." She told him. He looked around at the other people dancing and saw that was what they were doing. It was really...different seeing Kagome dance like that. "Come on." She told him when he hadn't started dancing. He rolled his eyes and smirked at her as he looked at her move and started moving trying to keep up. Kagome smirked at the way he could move and started to move more as the song changed to another fast song.

A few hours later after non-stop dancing they danced one more song before Kagome pulled Inuyasha to the side.

"Hey maybe we should go. It's really late." Kagome told him. Inuyasha laughed at all that dancing.

"Ok come on." He said putting his hand on the small of her back as he led her away. "Where did you learn to dance like that? I always thought you were so innocent." Inuyasha smirked.

"Just move to the music. It was easy, even you figured it out. Anyways, I am innocent." She giggled.

"Sure you are." He told her bringing his finger under her chin to bring her to look up as he dipped down to kiss her. She smiled into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She shivered from the cold wind that blew. Inuyasha laughed as he pulled away. "Why didn't you say you were cold?" He asked as he took off his haori and put it over her shoulders.

"It never came up. Something was always happening." She told him as she wrapped the haori tightly around her. "Well i'm telling you now. I'm freezing. Can we go?" She asked him staying very close to him to stay warm letting Inuyasha rub her arms.

"Ya let's go." He chuckled.

"Thank kami!" She said as she turned to start walking to the car. He chuckled and came up behind her.

"You know it's because your barely wearing anything." He told her with a chuckle.

"Ya no kidding. I already figured that. But it looks good right?" She smirked.

"Oh, the best." He said as he looked her up and down with a smirk. "Just don't ever wear it again." He told her.

"Why not? You said it looked good." She pouted keeping in her laughter.

"Ya well to many guys like you wearing this." He said as he led her to the car with his arm around her.

"Oh then I should wear this more often." She joked. He gave her a narrowed look before she started laughing.

"God Inuyasha, i'm just kidding. I don't want people seeing me wear this normally." She patted his shoulder as she calmed her laughter.

"Ya ok. Let's get out of here before we run into another one of your friends." Inuyasha told her as he looked around them.

"Good idea. Come on." She said as she walked to the front of the house and led him to the car. The moment she got in she started up the car to turn on the heater. "Oh my god that feels so much better." Kagome sighed as she put her hands in front of the vent. Inuyasha chuckled and shook his head.

"Should have said something." He told her.

"Ya well i'm better now so let's get out of here. I do not feel like running into anyo-..." She started then sighed as she let her head fall forward onto the steering wheel. "It never ends."

"What never ends?" He asked her curiously.

"Look out the window." She told him right before there was a knock at the window. Eri and Ayumi were both standing there telling her to come out of the car. She picked her head up and opened the door before stepping out.

"Hey guys, havn't seen you all night." Kagome forced a smile as she hugged at the haori to keep her warm.

"Ya we just got here. Your not leaving are you?" Eri asked her.

"Actually yes I was cause..." She started until Ayumi cut in.

"No don't leave yet! Come on, your coming with us." Ayumi said as Eri led her away. Kagome looked toward the car and gave Inuyasha a sympathetic look. Ayumi walked over to the car and opened the door for him. "Come on. We can't just leave you in the car." Ayumi smiled as she pulled him by the arm. He looked at her awkwardly as she dragged him away from the car.

"Where are we going exactly?" Inuyasha asked slowly.

"Inside. I'm to cold being out here." Ayumi told him as she linked her arm with his.

"...then get a jacket." He told her as he pulled his arm away from here. "Hey, while your finding that jacket i'll go find Kagome." Inuyasha said as he walked off toward the house and shook his head with a sigh out of irritation. He walked over to the house and entered through the front door. He could tell by Kagome's scent that she was dragged into the living room. She found her leaning back against the wall with Eri, Hojo and some other guy.

"Sorry Eri never seems to give up." Yuka said as she walked up behind Inuyasha. He was grateful when it was Yuka and not anyone else. She was the only one who didn't seem to irritate him.

"Ya, we were actually leaving when she dragged Kagome away from the car...just gotta figure out how to pull her away so we can leave now." Inuyasha chuckled.

"I'll help you." Yuka laughed and put her drink down. She walked over to the crowd and grabbed Kagome's arm. "Hey can I borrow her for a minute?" Yuka asked sweetly as she pulled Kagome away. She dragged her outside of the front door and had Inuyasha come too. "I've done my good deed for today." She joked. "I'll see you later Kagome. Bye Inuyasha." Yuka waved good-bye.

"Thanks, bye Yuka." Kagome laughed as she turned and dragged Inuyasha away to the car.

"Damn Kagome slow down." Inuyasha told her as he walked faster to keep up with her.

"I don't want anyone else to see me. I want to go home. I'm tired and cold. I'm going home." She assured him with a laugh. He chuckled as he followed her to the car. The moment they got in the car she started the engine and drove off. The moment they reached her room she jumped up on her bed, unpinned the wings from her shirt and threw her shoes off and wrapped herself in the blankets that covered her bed. Inuyasha laughed as he came over and sat beside her after putting his sword beside her bed. "When do you want to go back?" Kagome asked him.

"Whenever you want. Tomorrow?" He asked. She nodded as she let herself fall back onto the bed and closed her eyes. "Tired?" He asked softly.

"Mhm." She nodded but opened her eyes when the bed moved as Inuyasha got off. "Where are you going?" She asked him as she sat back up.

"Uhh...to sleep?" He said carefully.

"Your not going to stay with me?" She asked him. He rolled his eyes with a smirk as he walked back over to the bed and pulled the covers away from her. "Hey! On second thought go sleep somewhere else. Now give me my blanket back!" She pouted, crossing her arms. He shook his head and wrapped it around him before sitting on the bed. "I really hate you right now I hope you know." She glarred at him.

"No you don't. Lie down." He told her.

"Why?" She asked giving him a narrowed look. He rolled his eyes and got on the bed then lied down behind her pulling her down with him before pulling the blanket over them both.

"Go to sleep." He told her as he wrapped his arms around her.

"You could stop telling me what to do." She muttered before closing her eyes.

"Mhm." He closed his eyes enjoying her scent so close to him. She had fallen asleep soon after. Inuyasha smirked at how fast she fell asleep then let himself drift off into sleep.
