Chapter nine- Oh My Darling, Sweetums

Kagome took in a deep breath and let it out. The sun wasn't up yet, there was maybe an hour or two before it even decided to show. She stifled a yawn and turned slowly cuddling up to the large protective warmth next to her. Next to her, the warmth fell on its back and pulled her into the crook of its arm, which was around her shoulders. Kagome more than happily laid her arm over its chest and fit in the crook of his arm like she was made to fit there perfectly.

The warmth- or Inuyasha as his name is- sucked in a breath of Kagome's sweet sent and smiled. When was the last time he felt this content? This happy? He couldn't remember. He turned his head and looked down at her, placing his forehead to hers and shifting on his side as he wrapped protective arms around her.

Kagome mumbled something incoherent and leaned up closer to him. Suddenly realization dawned over both of them. Their eyes flew up, only to stare into the others' eyes. Kagome held her breath and bit her bottom lip trying to pull away from him but he wouldn't let go. "So…" he said casually. "You broke the touch barrier."

"Look whose not letting go." she whispered.

Suddenly an evil idea came to mind in Inuyasha's head. "I don't know…" he said slowly and sunk down a little bit so they where eye level. "I'm kinda comfy." he tightened his grip on her and yawned. "Sun not up, nether am I." he said as he closed his eyes.

"What?" Kagome whispered harshly then winced at the pain in her throat. "Inuyasha you let go of me now, you pervert." He opened his mouth and pretended to snore. She hit his chest, which didn't really hurt him seeing how her strength was still taken away by her Angel sickness. She rolled her eyes then glared at him weakly. "Okay, fine sweetums" she said sourly. "We'll play your game; just wait till I get better though."

"Great darling." he said, his eyes still closed. "And I like the name sweetums." he joked.

Kagome couldn't help but smile; she was a smiler by nature. "You might not live long enough to hear me say it again."

"Oh darling," he tightened his grip even more. "I love you too!"

Kagome snorted and hit him again trying not to chuckle. "You are the weirdest human I have ever met."

"Then you must not know a lot of humans. Besides, I'm a special case. It says so in my profile doesn't, darling?" he grinned.

"You read your case file?" Kagome asked. "That's impossible. Only angels can get into case files and you have to be of upper class."

"Then your security sucks." he mumbled and nuzzled into her hair.

"Inuyasha?" she asked. He didn't answer. "Inuyasha?" she pulled away and looked at him. "Sleeping…" she whispered. "Already…" then shook her head slowly. "This has got to be a messed up dream…"

Kagome sucked in a deep breath and yawned loudly stretching her arms. "How you feeling?" a muffled voice to her right asked.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly, wincing at the bright sunlight that emptied into her room. She turned her head and saw Sango. "Better…" she mumbled, rubbing her eyes.

"Well, you're about to feel great." she held up what looked like a hockey puck wrapped in a plastic bag. "Got your medicine." she smiled.

Kagome paled. "I can't swallow that." she said. "And I am NOT taking it the other way!"

Sango rolled her eyes. "You're supposed to eat it dummy. I already cut it in 3 pieces; you eat one now, one at lunch, and one at dinner. I have four more so you'll be feelings better in 4 days." she smiled, even though Kagome couldn't see it her eyes where smiling. "The most important thing for you now though is to get some rest."

"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked but was soon answered by getting covered in pixie sticks.

"Well well well, look what I found at the candy shop." he grinned. "Pixie sticks for the pixie!" he picked up a grape flavored one and opened it.

Kagome glared at him and threw a handful back at him. "Jerk." she said. "I'm NOT a pixie."

He shrugged at grinned. "You sure?" he asked then licked his lips. "Mmmm grape."

Kagome rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Like I said… weirdest human ever."

Sango blinked at her. "What?" she asked then shook her head. "Never mind, I don't wanna know about your bed talk."

"Is it okay to eat human candy?" Kagome asked Sango.

"Never hurt me." Inuyasha shrugged.

"That's because you're human idiot!" Kagome rolled her eyes.

Inuyasha shrugged and looked to Sango once she spoke up. "I don't know…" she said slowly the grabbed a pixie stick. "But I know who we can test it on." she grinned. "Oh Miroku! Darling, could you come up here for a moment?" Kagome and Inuyasha choked when she said darling. He snickered and winked at her, so she flipped him off.

Miroku stumbled in the room dropping his mask on the floor. "Yes?" he asked then paused. "Did you call me Darling?" his eyes lit up. "I knew you loved me!" He got up and pounced on Sango hugging her.

"Ah! Get off me!" she shoved him off and held up the pixie stick. "We wanna know if this is safe to eat." she shoved it at him. "So you try it."

Miroku paled and looked at the pixie stick taking it cautiously before handing it back to her. "No." he said.

"What if I made a deal with you? You try all four flavors and… um… oh what could I bet…?" Sango wondered.

"Make it an injury free date and you got a deal!" he grinned.

Sango paled and stuttered. "W-what! N-no way! I-I would never-"

Kagome jumped up and shoved the four flavors at him. "You got a deal!" she said fastly. "All this sugar is tempting."

Miroku grinned at Inuyasha and poured the pixie sticks in his mouth. Kagome and Sango leaned foreword anxiously to see what would happen. Miroku paled and his eyes widened. He gripped his throat and started coughing then fell over on the ground clutching his stomach. Tears rolled down his eyes and his face started to turn red.

Sango gasped. "Miroku! Miroku wake up! Are you okay? Oh my Gosh… what did I do? Miroku! Miroku wake up!" she bent over him and shook his shoulders. "Miroku-" she paused and her eyes widened making a weird noise with a large blush on her face. Her eyebrow twitched as she felt a hand on her rear end.

Kagome closed her eyes and pulled the covers over her head so she didn't see the violent scene of Sango throwing Miroku down the stairs screaming at him. Inuyasha shook his head and chuckled. "I can't believe she fell for that…" he mumbled as he walked over to the bed and sat down, leaning against the headboard.

Kagome pulled the covers off her head. "That was mean!" she huffed. "He really scared both me and Sango!"

"But he got a date with Sango didn't he?" Inuyasha asked.

Kagome blinked for a moment. "That's right! With everything that's been going on I forgot I was also trying to pair them up!"

Inuyasha yawned slightly and shrugged. "So matchmaking, huh?" he asked. "If you're such a good matchmaker how come I haven't seen any angry guy angels out for my life for sharing a bed with you?" he asked.

Kagome closed her eyes and crossed her arms. "That's because that isn't any!" she said angrily.

Inuyasha blinked for a moment, taken back by this. "Why not?" he asked.

She shrugged and sighed staring up at the ceiling. "Oh I don't know…" she said as she sighed. She sunk down in the bed and turned her back to him. "I guess I'm not good enough or something." she said.

"Oh shut up." Inuyasha said angrily. "I hate it when girls say that. They always underestimate themselves, it drives me crazy! Like when you go to the movies or something and they always ask you if their butt looks good! I mean, why ask your date if it looks good? Their the only ones who are gonna see it! And if there's another guy who looks at it the date is just gonna beet the crap out of them so they forget about it! Or when a girl can be as skinny as a freaking toothpick and she'll say she's fat!" he shuttered. "It drives me insane! So don't you start." Kagome giggled and sat up. "What's so funny?" Inuyasha snapped.

She giggled again and crossed her arms mimicking him. Then in a lowered voice she said, "Oh it drives me insane when a girl worries if she looks good for her date!"

"Stop that." he said.

She shook her head slowly still giggling. "We ask that because we want to look our best for our date. We worry about our butt because; well Miroku's a perfect example of how much attention guys pay to it. We worry about our weight because if they sweep us off our feet we want to be light as a feather for them, and we want to fit into the cutest cloths for the guys to see us in." she looked at him. "So tell me, is there a problem for wanting to be the best we can for our boyfriends?"

He opened his mouth to say something then closed it deciding he couldn't top that. He crossed his arms and huffed. "Well…uh… they shouldn't worry so much because if the guy really loves them he won't care about how they look." The words tumbled out of his mouth before he could stop himself. He blinked for a moment and shook his head; he couldn't believe he was having this conversation.

"Wow, a true poet." Kagome giggled. "Well, tell me one girl that wants a broken heart and you'll win this conversation." he blinked at her and asked what she meant. "It's hard to explain… well, I'll try. If the guy doesn't really love them and only cares about looks, the girl is gonna be the best she can be for him, so he doesn't break her heart."

He nodded slowly. "Ooh… so is that why there's sluts running around?" he asked.

Kagome hit his arm. "Inuyasha! That's mean!" she hissed.

He chuckled and shook his head. "How'd we even end up talking about this?" he asked.

"You where flirting with me." she said.

"Was not!" Inuyasha hissed.

"Oh, was too." Kagome said then added in a deep voice to mimic his again, "So how come no guy angels have come down wanting to kill me for sleeping with you?"

"I didn't say that!" Inuyasha said. "I said, 'For sharing a bed'."

"AKA SLEEPING with me! And admit it, your perverted mind liked it." she laughed.

"Yeah right, darling." he said.

"What ever you say, sweetums." Kagome laughed.

He shook his head slowly. "Wow, this is one dysfunctional…uh… should I say sleeping relationship?"

Kagome laughed. "Call it a Cuddle buddy relationship!" she laughed. "No I'm just kidding don't. I'd die if you said the word 'cuddle'."

"Cuddle." he said flatly.

Kagome burst out laughing and fell over on her side clutching her stomach.

Kagome clutched her towel around her sighing as she ran a hand threw her hair. She walked out of her bathroom and sat down on her old bed, she never even got to sleep in it for a full night.

She tucked the tip on the towel near her chest and reached back to ring her hair out before she stopped and set a hand down to feel the bed. It was completely dry, which meant ether her or Inuyasha would have to sleep in it tonight. She looked around making sure she was alone in the room before ringing her hair out onto the bed. "Just one more night…" she whispered. "It'll be more fun this way…" she smiled.
