Last Time:
" Another boy almost kissed me. " She said between sobs.
Sighing Inuyasha stated. " I know. "
Kagome looked at him quizzing. " You know? "
Smirking Inuyasha said. " Of course I know. I Inuyasha know everything. Like how you have liked me forever. And how I make you go crazy. "
She looked puzzled for a moment before realizing he had heard what she told her friends.
Embarrassed beyond belief, she sat there, hoping he wasn't going to say what she thought he was going to say.
Sitting down beside her, he continued. " Oh, and also the fact that you, Kagome, the great miko hanyou with so many admirers, are powerless when it comes to me. " And with that, he smirked the largest he had all day.
This Time:
" Inuyasha! " Kagome whined.
" No. " Inuyasha replied.
" Please? " She asked again.
" No! " he answered back.
" But- "
" NO! "
" Come on! "She pleaded.
" God damn it Kagome, when I say no, I mean no! " he retorted for what seemed the hundredth time that day.
Looking up at him with puppy dog eyes she tried one last time. "But you like it. "
" Keh, that's what you think. " The now blushing Inuyasha said as he turned.
Pouting, Kagome walked away from him. "I would have let you rub mine. " she muttered.
" No you wouldn't have. " he said walking around her.
" Hmm… I guess your right. "she smiled sweetly. Almost too sweetly.
" What are you up to? " he questioned, stopping to face her.
" Sit, " she smiled as she watched the silver haired hanyou fall to the ground.
Immediately kneeling down beside him, Kagome smiled as she reached up and rubbed his ears.
" Ah! Stop it wench! " he yelled in futile attempts to lift the spell.
Sitting up she grinned. " Well now that that's out of my system… " she smiled evilly as she ran out of the house towards the forest beside her house, to the great protest of her hanyou companion on the ground.
" Kagome!" he yelled as the spell began to wear off. Growling playfully he stood up. " You want to play it that way wench? Fine by me." he smirked as he ran out the door after her.
Running through the forest, Inuyasha sniffed the air for her scent. Smirking he turned towards a tree to see a flicker of black and pink disappear. Laughing to himself he stayed in one spot, listening to his surroundings. Keh, she's right in front of me. He smirked as he opened his eyes to stare at the trees ahead of him. Just as he was about to track her down, something hard collided with his side.
Kagome laughed as he fell down underneath her.
" What the hell? I swear you were ahead of me! " Inuyasha yelled as he flipped her over. " Oh, and this is for revenge. " he said as his hands found their way towards her head. Kagome struggled, trying get away from him, but he had straddled her to the ground.
" What do we have here? I thought you said that I was the one who enjoyed it? " Inuyasha smirked as he listened to her start purring.
" Shut up! You know I can't control it. " she said as she struggled more.
Sun setting behind him, Inuyasha smiled as he watched the small girl squirm beneath him. " Keh, you should know that you couldn't beat me that easily. "
Just then Kagome thought of a way out of her situation. "Inuyasha, come here, I want to tell you something . " she whispered.
Interested, and stupid, Inuyasha bent his head towards her face.
Giving him a quick kiss on the cheek the stunned hanyou was then flipped over so she was once again in more control.
" You should know by now my dear Inuyasha, that you can not win when it comes to me. " she smirked as her arms reached to the top of his head. The outstretched hands were left unfulfilled as there were no longer any ears to grasp.
" What the hell? " she said, getting off him. "Your human. " she observed.
" I must have forgot." Inuyasha grumbled as he looked down at himself. Damn, I hate it when I am human. I must look so weak in her eyes. He thought as he looked down ashamed.
" Arg, I can't believe this. " Kagome mumbled to herself.
I knew it, she shouldn't be with someone like me. He thought as he listened to her words.
Continuing she grabbed his hands. " Now I wont be able to rub your ears. " She sighed. " And I had the perfect chance too. " she sighed.
Looking up Inuyasha gave her a questioning glance.
" Why are you looking at me like that? "She asked.
" Why are you still with me even though I am like this? "He needed to know.
"Like this? Like what? I don't understand. "She said aloud as she thought hard.
" Well, I am human… " He began but was cut off.
" Inuyasha I can't believe you! " Kagome interrupted. " Why is it, no matter what form you are in, you have both better hair, and eyes then me ! " she yelled as she stared at him in astonishment.
" What the hell! I am trying to ask you something here. " he tried to cut into her rambling.
But she kept on going , totally oblivious to Inuyasha's attempts to interrupt.
" I mean, sure hanyou's are hot, but why do they have to look good in their human form as well? " she blabbed.
" KAGOME! " Inuyasha yelled finally getting her attention.
Stopping she turned. " Huh? Were you trying to say something? "
A sweat mark appeared on his head as he breathed. " I want to know why you are with someone like me. "
Putting a finger to her mouth, she thought for a second before answering. " Is there a reason I shouldn't be? "
He smiled as they walked into the house.
I may not understand you yet, but one day…
XxXxXxX
" Inuyasha? Do you want to go home today? " Kagome questioned as they sat down for a dinner that consisted of ramen and a side of potato chips.
Raising an eyebrow, Inuyasha looked up for the first time from his food. "Home? "
" Otherwise known as the feudal era. "she sighed standing up.
" You consider it home? " he asked hopefully.
" Somewhat. " she smiled as she took the empty bowl from him. This is also my home."
" Keh, We will go home in the morning. " Inuyasha said, digging around for another bowl of ramen.
" Why tomorrow? " Kagome pressed on.
" Because I don't want go back tonight. "he finished.
" Want, or can't?. " Kagome said slyly.
" Are you implying something? " Inuyasha said tensely.
Smiling she started to walk around the table towards him. " Imply something? Now why would little old me do something like that? "
" Because, I can tell when your planning something. " he tensed up.
" Inuyasha! " She said in a shocked voice. "I cant believe you think that of me."
Raising an eyebrow, he stared at her.
" Fine. " she sighed. " Why don't you like being there when your human? Aside from all of the people who want to kill you. " she smiled as she added the last part.
" Keh. " he said turning the opposite way.
" You know, you can rely on me some what. " she said.
" I shouldn't have to. Plus, when it comes to fighting… " he started.
" You suck. " he finished finally thinking of the perfect way to describe it.
" Fine, but I will say one thing. Tomorrow I will be turning human for the night as well. And I want you to learn to rely on me as I do you. " she smiled leaning down and kissing him quickly on the cheek.
Inuyasha stared at the half completed Shikon no Tama on her neck as it glittered beside the black pearl. " One day, yes. But for now…" he said looking at her neck again. " I need to stay alive long enough to complete something important. " he finished. Kagome…I need to be there to protect you, and if I get killed now…

The two spent the night in Kagome's time, waking up late they decided to head on there journey back to their friends.
A smiling Rayne walked into the house, Souta in tow, she smiled as she her father would be aloud to come home the next day.
Noticing the two hanyou's were no where to be seen, she smiled as she walked outside.
The leaves in goshinboku drifted steadily back and forth in a soothing motion as she stood beside it.
Kagome, soon I will tell you everything. She sighed as she remembered fractions of her past. There is someone you know who is going to change your life forever. I only hope it is for the better. Rayne sighed as she looked once towards the well house.
Saffron…I still don't know what you had planned for her, but please… Watch over our children…

Hopping out of the well, Kagome and Inuyasha made their way towards Kaede's village.
" Wow, the air is so fresh out here. " Kagome smiled as she stretched.
" Kagome! " Sango yelled excitingly to her best friend. " Welcome back! " she smiled giving her a hug.
Miroku wasn't to far behind her, and upon seeing Sango hug Kagome he tried to do the same in a futile attempt.
A large growl was heard from Inuyasha as soon as his arms were around her. A few seconds later he was hit by Inuyasha hard on the head.
Sango and Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a questioning stare. Usually it is Sango who punishes Miroku for his lechery, never Inuyasha.
The unconscious Miroku fell towards Kagome, arms flying in front of him, landing on her chest. As soon as he felt what he was now groping, he opened his eyes in fear.
Kagome was at loss for words and she simply stared at Miroku's hand on her chest.
Quickly removing his hand, Miroku turned towards Inuyasha.
" I… She… It was…I didn't mean… This time it actually was an accident! " he yelled holding his arms up trying to explain. Grabbing Miroku by the back of his pony-tail, Inuyasha silently dragged the protesting monk towards the forest.
Kagome and Sango sweat dropped as they heard Inuyasha's fist contact with Miroku.
" Lets go for a walk. " Sango said as she tried to ignore the noises from the bush.
" I agree. " Kagome said, linking arms with her friend and walking towards the village.
Meanwhile with Inuyasha and Miroku :
" Inuyasha! Knock it off. It was an accident! " Miroku said after Inuyasha took a break from beating on him.
" Keh. Don't touch what's not yours to touch. " Inuyasha said turning his head defiantly.
" So then she's yours to touch? Inuyasha! I never knew you had gotten so far with Kagome! " Miroku said as he smiled with a perverted glint in his eye.
" What? Why would I! Never with her! " Inuyasha sputtered as his face turned red.
" Come now Inuyasha, I finally understand. " Miroku said all knowingly.
" Under…stand? " Inuyasha twitched as he turned towards the smirking monk.
" Yes I do. You were angry with me because my hand, accidentally mind you, landed on her chest. " he started.
A small growl escaped Inuyasha's chest as he listened.
" Yes, for a small moment it landed on one of her precious areas. Beautiful as it was, but Inuyasha, I am sure you have touched that place many times, actually I think you are being abit selfish not sharing. " Miroku explained as he saw the stunned look on his friends face.
A few moments past as Inuyasha just stared at his best friend. He isn't human. Nothing is that perverted. Inuyasha thought as he simply whacked Miroku on the head, making him fall unconscious.
Keh, as if Kagome would ever let me touch her there. Inuyasha thought as he walked away.
XxXxXxX
" Kagome? " Sango said as they neared the hut.
" Hm? " Kagome said coming out of a daze.
Looking at the vacant expression on her friends face Sango stopped. " Are you feeling all right? "
Smiling Kagome nodded. " Yes, I'm fine. I am just thinking about things. "
" Don't you turn human tonight? " Sango remembered.
Kagome stopped. " Your right. " she said happily. " Finally, a day without a tail! " she said towards her giggling friend.
" You don't like your tail? " Sango said between laughs.
" Oh, sure its very soft and comfy, but I want to be able to go a night without having to wash both my hair and my tail. " She laughed as she looked down at her beautifully groomed exterior.
Laughing at how stupid there conversation was, the girls continued on there way.
Later that night, everyone sat around the hut, eating the food Kagome had prepared.
Stretching, Kagome stood up and walked towards the door.
" Sango, do you want to come to the hot springs with me? " she asked cheerfully.
Sango gave a furtive glance at Miroku before shaking her head. " Sorry Kagome, I need… uh rest tonight. " she said as a small blush appeared on her cheeks.
A bit confused at her friends actions, Kagome smiled and walked out the door.
A few minutes later:
" Ah! This is what I'm talking about. " Kagome sighed as she waded into the hot spring. Staring up at the tree tops, she waited for the sun to set. She could feel her senses dull, and was totally oblivious to a certain silver haired Hanyou keeping watch.
Inuyasha hid behind a tree. It wasn't as though he wanted to spy on her or anything perverted like that, it was just he needed to make sure she stayed safe.
Keh, Stupid wench, going out by herself when she is like that. He thought bitterly as he tried to drive his imagination away from the naked girl that was just meters from him.
Inuyasha suppressed a groan as he heard her sigh. Images appeared in his mind of her, as he debated in his mind
One peek wouldn't hurt…A voice in the back of his head said.
A look no, but Kagome, yes. He reasoned.
Come on, the girl of your dreams is naked right beside you, and you don't want a look?
She must feel insulted that you don't want to have a glance. The voice persisted.
But, she would kill me. Inuyasha kept thinking.
But she's in her human form, she's not as strong…
NO! I can't! I can't take advantage of that fact!
Are you sure?
Yes!
But don't you think she would take it as a compliment that you want to see her naked body?
No… she would think I am a pervert. Inuyasha battled.
And your saying you aren't?
Good point… he decided.
Turning around he peeked behind the tree, what greeted his eyes was more then he could handle. Kagome sat by a rock, eyes closed, fully enjoying her bath. He watched as her hair swayed around her, and his eyes wondered to her floating chest.
Eyes popping, Inuyasha turned back. NOT GOOD! He thought as his pants tightened.
Inuyasha sat there, trying to get the image out of his mind. Quickly retreating into the forest, only one thought occurred in his mind. Oh my god. I have become Miroku. He grimaced as he headed towards the hut.
Just as he opened the door, he quickly shutting it with a blush, only hoping the two occupants of the room didn't notice him.
He had just witnessed for the first time, Miroku groping Sango, and not being attacked for it. Their lips intertwined, they were doing a full make out session, completely unaware of the rest of the world.
Keh, blackmail. He thought as he walked towards the forest again.
Just as he stepped into the tree's, he found a clothed Kagome walking towards him. Hair still wet, she smiled as she saw him.
" Inuyasha! " she smiled grabbing his hand. " Let's get back to the hut. "
Grabbing her by the waist, he gruffly replied " No. "
Confused she looked up at him. " Why not? "
" The monk and the slayer need some alone time. " he said winking at her.
Realization showed on her features and a deep blush swept across her cheeks. " Oh. " she said.
Inuyasha stared down at her. He smirked as he watched her flushed face. She is so…
" Where should we go? " she turned towards him.
" Keh, meet me up in Goshinboku. " he said as he leapt away.
" INUYASHA! " Kagome yelled. " You bastard! I'm human right now! " she protested as she followed him. Coming to the large tree she looked up to see him smirking down at her.
" What? Can't you get up? " he said innocently.
" I would have helped you. " she stated as she gave him a puppy dog look.
" No you wouldn't have. " he stated.
" Fine, I guess I will just have to go and call Koga or something. " she smiled evilly.
" Keh, you wouldn't do that. " he called her bluff.
" You're cruel. " She said pouting.
" Not as cruel as you the other day in your time. " he said as he remembered her getting his hopes up then bringing him back to reality.
" That wasn't cruel. " she smiled just as innocently as he had a moment ago.
" Keh, keep telling yourself that. " he said turning his head.
Looking up she gave him a sly look. " So I guess I shouldn't ever do that again to you? "
" Damn right. " he said.
" I guess I will just have to find a mate elsewhere then. One who can enjoy my… generosity. " she smirked as she saw at the horrified look on his face.
" I didn't mean that! " he said jumping down so he was beside her.
" Oh? Then what do you mean? " Kagome asked pretending to be confused.
Inuyasha blushed as he grabbed her waist. " Come on , I will take you up. " he nodded towards the tree.
Taking his hands off her, she turned. " Now I don't want your help. "
Giving her a questioning glance " You can't get up there all by yourself when your like that. "
" Just watch me. " she said as she propped herself onto the giant roots of the tree. Positioning herself, she started to climb.
Inuyasha smirked as he watched the determination on her face.
Kagome kept going, telling herself Just a few more feet. And as she thought she had a good enough foot hold, she hoisted herself up again. Just then, the branch she had been standing on snapped.
Kagome screamed as she tumbled back down towards the earth. A few moments before she was to hit the ground, she was pulled into strong arms. She blushed as her hands felt his abs under his shirt. Inuyasha smirked at her reaction as he jumped into the tree.
They sat there motionless for a moment, Kagome's hands not leaving his rock hard chest.
Inuyasha looked down at her and smirked. " I never knew you liked my chest so much. "
Blushing, she immediately removed her hands. Unhappy that her warmth was gone, Inuyasha pulled her close so they were in a tight embrace.
" Inu…Yasha? " she breathed.
Kagome looked up into his amber eyes. She couldn't resist herself. Leaning in, she gave him an unexpected kiss. Shocked when her soft lips touched his, Inuyasha quickly returned the kiss.
Pulling away from him she looked up at him. " Sorry. " she said while blushing.
" For? " he asked.
" You said that I shouldn't be so generous with my kisses. " she said slyly.
" Keh you can be as generous as you want when it comes to me wench. " he smirked as he pulled her closer.
Inuyasha then felt there position. Kagome was facing him, sitting on his lap. One hand around his neck, the other, lay on the side of his thigh. Kagome sat there, totally oblivious to the effect she had on him.
Must resist…Can't…Don't grow hard… Must control…He tried to think of un arousing thoughts.
Ahhh! Must think…Miroku…Koga…Kaede!
That did the trick. Breathing heavily Inuyasha turned back towards the girl. Flipping her over so she was comfortable, he motioned her to go to sleep.
After a few minutes had passed, Inuyasha listened to her quiet breathing, signaling she had fallen asleep.
Just as he was inches away from sleep himself, he felt something move in his lap. Kagome, half asleep, faced him again. Her hands went under his shirt, feeling his chest.
What the? Inuyasha thought as he watched her completely unable to do anything about it.
Kagome continued on in her sleep. Inching towards his face, giving him a long kiss.
Geez, I hope I wasn't this bad when I sleep groped her! Inuyasha thought as he firmly grabbed her and turned her around so she was once again in a sleeping position. There was no way he would take advantage of her when she was asleep. Keh, if she wanted me so badly she should have just said so. He smirked as he fell asleep.
