Yay reviewers! Not too many, but all of them within 24 hours of each other. I feel loved, you guys. There's no promise that the next few chapters will be spaced evenly at all but with there only being 33 days of school left, I'll probably be able to get some work done. So…here comes the chapter, I guess. I'm in a really good mood because of something that happened in my personal life on Sunday that concerns my ex-boyfriend. Slap me, somebody. I'm crazy for that boy…but enough about me. ON WITH THE KIKYO KILLING!...:Falls over:

Only moments after Inuyasha had fallen into a deep sleep, a soft knock fell at the door. Though the volume of the knock escaladed, the cute couple still lay, fast asleep. Finally, a call of "Kagome?" from the other side woke a very sleepy and very human Inuyasha, as he sighed, looking down at the treasure in his arms. He slowly blinked, looking around, as suddenly, the door swung open.

"Kagome! Mom says di-" Souta started, but stopped himself, letting his jaw drop, staring at the two. "Ooooh! I'm telling mom!" He shouted, waking Kagome with a jump, as Inuyasha cracked his knuckles, softly untangling himself from Kagome.

"Kid, you've got the count of three before your face is punched in. One…Two…" Inuyasha started to lunge at the little boy, but before he could say 'Three!', he collided painfully, very painfully, with the floor.

"INUYASHA! SIT BOY!" Kagome screamed from beneath her covers, sitting up, showing Souta that she was fully clothed. "Souta, I won't s-i-t him next time, if you tell mom. Get out of my room!" She shouted as the boy scrambled out of her room, Inuyasha's growl sounding VERY loudly.

"Damnit, wench, what the hell was that for!" Inuyasha's muffled shout sounded, his face still smashed to the ground. Kagome smiled and reached down, softly stroking his raven colored hair, smiling at the fact that it was the exact color of hers.

"Because, I couldn't have you killing my brother. I want to torture the little squirt myself." Kagome smiled, running her fingers softly through his hair, knowing that the spell had worn off already, but Inuyasha was still laying there. "Dinner?" She asked, and he nodded in his hole, which was actually no more than a tiny indention in the ground, groaning, having sat himself up painfully slowly.

"Yeah...whatever. That one really hurt." He said, standing himself up, purposely getting in Kagome's way and knocking her back onto the bed before walking out of the bedroom, pouting. Kagome laughed and stood up slowly, making her ways down the stairs. So Inuyasha….loves me? That's impossible…

Inuyasha practically inhaled the food that Mrs. Higurashi had prepared, along with a side of ramen that Souta himself had very proudly made. It was a little bit burnt, which confused Inuyasha, but it was still very good.

Ring, Ring! Shouted the telephone, and Kagome sighed getting up, picking up the receiver and answering it.

"Higurashi Shrine." She said solemnly, them smiled. "OH! Hi guys!" She shouted. On the other line were her three best friends, of the time period, of course, coaxing her into yet another date with Houjo. "Well…actually…uh…" Her eyes absently fell onto Inuyasha. "I already have a date for the carnival."

Inuyasha twitched. Carnival? What in hell's name is a carnival? He thought for a minute, then twitched again. WHO'S HER DATE TO IT?

"Yeah…We might be a little late." Kagome's face noticeably dropped, as she dropped her tone. "Yes, it's the possessive... alright guys, that's going too far. He really is a good guy. Yeeeaahhh…fine. Bye." Kagome groaned and sat the receiver on the phone base and slowly took her seat back at the table.

"Mom, do you have any extra clothes, for Inuyasha?" She asked, looking straight forward to her mother, not even wanting to think about Inuyasha's reply.

"Yeah, sure honey. But hasn't Houjo been asking you to that Carnival for over a month now, sweetie?" She asked, smirking at her daughter, excusing herself quickly from the two teenagers' glares.

"I'll…be back." Inuyasha fumed, storming away from the table, up to Kagome's room. Souta and Grandpa only chuckled softly as the only remaining female in the room left, rather swiftly.

Just as the door slammed close and Inuyasha started to open the window, Kagome stormed in after him.

"What is wrong with you? My mother makes a simple remark and you go off! Inuyasha, what's up?" Kagome asked him, twitching, as Inuyasha was caught half in and half out the window.

Stay in or go out...stay in...or go out...DAMNIT! The hanyou climbed back through the window, staring at Kagome. Damnit, I don't deserve her. What does she see in me? "That hobo guy. Go to the car-nih-vul with him. I'll just screw it all up." Inuyasha said almost angrily, leaning against the closed portion of the window. Kagome's nose scrunched and she made a rather high pitched chuckle.

"Screw it all up? Inuyasha, please, everything'll be a wreck if you don't come. I'll have to deal with Houjo, and I already told my friends that you were coming and…yeah. Please just come? I promise you that it will be fun…" She flashed a brilliant smile at Inuyasha, who only cringed. Kagome sighed, and opened the small door to her closet, pulling out a green t-shirt, a pair of jeans and a jean jacket. Inuyasha stared the girl down coldly, knowing that his decision had been made, but he had to pretend to not be going just a few moments longer. "Inuyasha, your act isn't all that good. My mom's probably got your clothes by now..it would be smart to go get them." Kagome murmured, and walked into the hallway, closing the door of the bathroom softly.

"Damn her!" Inuyasha shouted as Mrs. Higurashi walked in, smiling, holding a pair of jeans and a dark red t-shirt, and a pair of sandals.

"Inuyasha, here's your clothes. If you need any help, go get Souta." She said, her smile was almost as beautiful as Kagome's, though in Inuyasha's mind, it didn't even compare.

"Yeah...yeah..." Inuyasha mumbled almost angrily, shutting the door and getting dressed.

Three girls quickly stormed the shrine and found their best friend, dragging her up to her room. They squealed and squeaked in excitement.

"Guys, guys! Settle down!" She said over them, while knocking on the door. "Inuyasha, my friends are here…" She said, though just as she started to open the door, it was slammed back shut.

"Kagome, you in here, alone." Was all that was heard, and the three girls chuckled, while Kagome slid through the door before shutting it. When she saw Inuyasha, she simply had to remind herself to breathe…and the same went for our hanyou human.

"I'm. Not. Going. ANYWHERE. Like. This." He said angrily, as his shirt was on backwards, his pants unbuckled and unzipped, revealing a pair of red boxers, and his sandals were on the wrong feet. Still, he looked simply too good for Kagome, who simply chuckled.

"Alright, first of all, your shoes are on wrong. Take 'em off, we'll deal with those later." She said, smiling at him, turning around, sticking her head slowly out the door. "Guys, we're having a little….talk. Go on downstairs and have my mom fix you a drink…or something." She said, and Eri simply smirked.

"Have you guys kissed yet?" She asked, then Yuka piped in beside her.

"How long has he been over that other woman?" She smirked, and Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Guys, just go downstairs!" She shouted, chuckling loudly, then shutting the door on them. Her attention turned back to her poorly dressed Inuyasha, and she smiled. This was going to be a long night.

To blisfulignorance:

Yeah, I am trying to be more frequent in my updates, but believe me, I do have a life. Heh…

To suppup17:

Heh...that used to be a dilemma for me, whether to get ready for dance or read more fan fiction. OO I never expected my fiction to cause such problems, though…thanks for reminding me that this chapter was done, too!

And so another update. Thanks again to all my reviews. I'll probably post this on Thursday, since today is Tuesday, and I need to get to sleep…and Wednesday night is chaotic for me. So…thanks.

Amanda

Edit: Yup, here we are Thursday, and I'm posting.
