The much awaited chapter nine!!!

The couple walked into the house, well kind of...Kagome got 2 feet in the door and Souta leaped onto her, clutching her leg as if his life depended on it." Where have you been sis?"

"Didn't you see the note?"

"Hai, but why did you go without me?"

"You weren't here silly!"

"But I wanted to go with InuYasha!"

"Well if you behave then you can go with us next time..." she looked over to InuYasha for a second to see how he reacted to this comment. He was rolling his eyes at her brother and had a smirk on his face. Kagome sighed, 'that's InuYasha for you,'

"Uh Kagome, where do you want this stuff?"

"Oh, just put it up in my room, Souta you have to get off now" her brother reluctantly detached himself from his Neesan's leg.

"You promise I can go with you and Inu-Niisan!"

"Hai, now go help mom with dinner"

"Hai, arigato Kagome!" answered Souta as he ran off to help his Okaasan.

InuYasha started to walk up the stairs with Kagome following closely, once the hanyou reached the top of the flight of stairs he turned to walk into Kagome's room. Once inside he tossed the bags of clothes nonchalantly beside the bed as he drop himself heavily down on top of it. Kagome rolled her eyes in a friendly manner at her dog demon counterpart who in turn raised his eyebrows at her questioningly. "what?"

"Nothing...mmmmm smells like dinner is ready, care to join me?"

InuYasha smirked at her, "what do you think?"

Kagome let out a small laugh at her friend, "boy did I see that coming."

"And?"

"And nothing, I'm hungry, lets go."

InuYasha immediately jumps up and bolts out the door. "hey wait up" cries Kagome from behind him.

Kagome walks in to find her mom just finish putting the last plate of food out, "oh good Kagome can you go get your Ojiisan?"

"Hai, I'll be right back Okaasan" she then turns and runs over to her grandfather's room knocking politely. "Ojiisan, dinner is ready."

"Alright, Kagome, tell you mother ill be right out."

"Hai" she responds and then walks back into the kitchen, when she gets there she sees InuYasha bring a pitcher to the table for her mother. She smiles at him, "arigato InuYasha,"

InuYasha starts, "Kagome!"

Kagome giggled lightly, "I was only thanking you for helping out..."

"Do Itashimashite"

"Are you two gonna sit down and eat?" Kagome's Otoutosan asked.

"Hai" they both replied sitting down.

They had just started to fill their plates when Kagome's grandfather walked in, he was pretending that nothing was bothering him but he glared at the hanyou out of the corner of his eye. Said hanyou caught it and started to growl very lowly. Only Kagome had been around InuYasha long enough to know that he was growling, she could hear him...no matter how low he growled, she could hear. Once she noticed she lightly elbowed him in the ribs and gave him a scolding look. InuYasha glared at her for a second then went back to his food.

The rest of the meal went rather smoothly, Souta talked the whole time, leaving very little time for Kagome to fill with what she did that day...but she was grateful of that so it didn't bother her. Her mother and grandfather talked a bit about what they would be seeing and where they were going...during this time InuYasha pretended to be preoccupied but was listening to every word the family was saying,

"Oh, by teh way Kagome we are probably extending our vacation time...it may be a bit longer than a month..."

"What..."

"Well there is just so much to see that we figured we would take a few extra days to see things..."

"Well I guess that is ok...but I don't know how InuYasha is gonna take that..."

"Ha let him go back..."

"GRANDPA!!!" both women yelled at the same time.

"I wasn't serious" he adds sweatdroping.

"Good"

"Oh, by the way Kagome, Souta ands I are going to go out shopping a bit since it is still early,"

"Alright mom"

"But I still want you to get ready for bed...you have to get up to study in the morning."

"Don't worry mom, I usually get up earlier in the Feudal Era anyway..."

"Alright, I just want to make sure you get enough sleep...I'm you mother I'm allowed to worry its my job..."

"I know mom arigato for caring."

"Do Itashimashite"

"Now wash you plate off and get ready for bed, "

"K Okaasan, come on InuYasha we have to get ready for bed"

Grumbling InuYasha follows his human friend upstairs. From the top of the stairs they heard Kagome's mother call, "I'll see you all later"

InuYasha sighed as he walked into Kagome's room, one inside a large t-shirt and a pair of long lounge pants were thrown at him. "Hey!" he yelped

"Nani?" Kagome asked innocently a very InuYasha like smirk on her face.

InuYasha was startled to see that look on her face, 'well lets see if she still has that smirk on her face after I'm done with her'

"K InuYasha, ill be right back, change into your pajamas."

InuYasha nods, "yea whatever"

Kagome rolls her eyes and walks into the bathroom.

InuYasha changes into his nightwear smirking, 'lets see how you react to this Kagome'

Kagome walked over to her door a short time later rapping quietly on it. "InuYasha can I come in?"

"Why not?" was the only response Kagome got, so she went ahead and opened her door, expecting to see InuYasha ether sitting on her bed or on the floor. Except for the fact that her was nowhere to be found.

She looked all over her room for him, the closet, under her bed, behind her desk...everywhere...but he was nowhere to be found. Kagome then got an idea, 'what if he ran out when I opened the door.' She them turned around and was about to walk out the door when she heard a soft thud, she turned around and there was InuYasha, smirking widely, and a glint in his eyes. 'Crap' she thought as her eyes widened, she then yelped and turned to run down the stairs.

InuYasha wasn't gonna let her off that easily, "I don't think so Kagome" he taunts as he tailgates her down the steps. At the foot of the stairs Kagome makes a quick turn to the left and bolts for the back door...too bad she never even got close. At the foot of the stairs InuYasha grabbed her, picking her up off the ground.

Kagome yelped, "Awww, what are you doing?! InuYasha!?"

"Be quiet, you don't want to alarm the old man"

"Oh grandpa? He is on the other side of the house...in his room" Kagome responded as she tried ineffectively to wiggle out of InuYasha's grasp.

"InuYasha!!" she yelled after she found she couldn't get away from the hanyou.

InuYasha just smirked as he tossed Kagome onto the couch, "what?" he said in a voice that didn't sound like his own. Kagome's eyes widened as she looked up at InuYasha, she then closed her eyes tight and bit her bottom lip. InuYasha brought his hands down to her exposed stomach and ran his claws across it, Kagome's mouth turned upward into smile but then she started biting harder onto her lip.

'No, no, no, I wont...' Kagome finally gave up and burst out laughing from InuYasha tickling her, she curled up into a ball trying to protect her stomach from InuYasha's hands, but to no avail, he kept on tickling her. Kagome started to twist and turn trying to get away but the half demon was not to be shaken easily. Kagome was starting to run out of air about now because she couldn't breath due to InuYasha's ever ending 'torture'. InuYasha noticed her lack of air and stopped to let her breath.

Kagome lay there panting for a bit then she glared at the half demon, "what was that for?!"

"No reason," he responded with that same smirk.

Kagome decided it was smart to run, she quickly rolled over and took off, InuYasha noticed and took off after her.

Kagome took a sudden, and very sharp turn around the table, lucky for her InuYasha had leapt at her that second so he could change direction. Kagome ran to the side of the table farthest from the hanyou.

InuYasha stood up from his crouching position that his jump had forced him into since Kagome had moved. He walked over to the opposite side of the table as Kagome, "Tag..."

Kagome blinked in surprise, 'tag?!? What did he mean by that?' her expression changed to confused as she thought, then her eyes widened in realization. 'He is talking about the game I taught him...a few months ago when he was here, Souta and I were playing tickle tag...he must've caught on...wait there is something wrong with this picture...InuYasha playing tag?'

InuYasha turn to take off, Kagome scrambled around the table as fast as she could to she could get him before he took off, but it was too late, he was gone. "Darn, I'm never gonna catch him..." 'Wait, if he wants to play tag he is going to stay in relatively close so I can chase him...' Kagome smiles and starts after him, pretending to try and sneak up on him.

InuYasha started to sneak up behind the unsuspecting human, 'got you now Kagome' he then his foot caught on a toy Souta had left on the floor and he stumbled, Kagome heard him and started to turn. 'Crap!' he cursed, and turned to run, but before he was able to disappear Kagome said the 'word,' "sit." As soon as she said that, the hanyou who was currently trying to escape kissed the floor.

While the subduing spell held the stubborn dog-demon the floor Kagome ran up and crouched down beside him. Once she lowered herself the spell wore off, "why the hell did you do that wench?!"

Kagome just smiled sweetly in spite of his rude comment, "well you get to use your demonic speed, so I get to use my resources as well..."

InuYasha growled, "bitch"

Kagome ignored his remark and started to try to tick his stomach, "your it"

"no I'm not" he answered with a grin, "I haven't laughed yet...the person you 'tag' has to laugh to become 'it'"

Kagome glared, "hey that isn't fair, ok how about this the other player has to yield to the other player to become it..." she finished with a very InuYasha like smirk.

"You think I am going to yield to you women?"

"Unless you want to be 8 feet under from all the s-i-t-s that you get"

InuYasha growled "wench, fine I yield," he then smirked very widely, "and now I'm 'it'"

Kagome's eyes widened in realization, 'Crap! What did I do? Now he is gonna torture me till I die" she took off as fast as she could.

InuYasha just calmly sat there and counted to ten, then he took off after Kagome. At the moment she was running thought the living room, in an instant the hanyou was in front of her.

She yelped in surprise and stumbled back "I-InuYasha" she managed to squeak out.

"Hai..." he as he tossed Kagome on the couch again and started to tickled her.

After about five minuets he stopped, "do you yield?" he asked a triumphant smirk on his face.

Kagome was about to just give up when she got an idea..."ye-NOOO!!!" she then took off up the stairs as the hanyou clutched his sensitive ears.

Kagome got in her room ad figured out she had nowhere to go, she turned around but found InuYasha already in the doorway with a glint in his eyes

Kagome backed up into her wall; this only made InuYasha as he slowly advanced on her,

'What to do, what to do?!?!?! Wait, I could sit him and run downstairs to give myself a little bit better chance of evading him...' she never got to finish her thought because InuYasha was already in front of her..."eep" was the last thing out of Kagome's mouth before she was thrown onto her bed. InuYasha stood beside the sleeping stand and relentlessly tickled her. Kagome started to fight back some now instead of just rolling into a ball, she started to wiggle and squirm out of his grasp, her feet started to flail and kick at the air and she never stayed in the same position for more than 2 seconds. InuYasha finally gave her a break to breath since she was turning blue in the face.

"Do you yield?"

Kagome looked him straight in the eyes...then tried to sit up and run off. InuYasha wouldn't have it, she was not getting away...he jumped up onto the bad and straddled her waist.

Kagome's eyes widened as she tried to protest, but was quieted when he started to tickle her again.

As Kagome tries to get away she kicks, slaps, wiggles, pushes, and protest but nothing even gets a reaction from InuYasha. She wanted to sit him but since she was under him that would not de that smart of thing to do unless she wanted to get squished. He dose not let up, just keeps on torturing, Kagome as she turn blue in the face for the 3rd time. InuYasha stopped again to let his victim catch her breath, while her breathing rate was dropping back to its normal rate he leaned very close to her face. Kagome turned to face him, surprised

"Do you yield now?"

Kagome made a pouty face, "ye-No!" she then thrust her body th the left knocking them both off the bed, dragging a thin blanket with them.

"Wah?!" InuYasha yelped in surprise, he also held Kagome to break the fall for her, he landed on his back anyway so it was not an issue, "urg..."

"Uh...sorry InuYasha" she replied as she tried to sit up...but should couldn't, InuYasha was holding her fast and by the look on his face he wasn't letting go anytime soon

"InuYasha! Let me go!!" he laughed.

"Why?" he said in a tone Kagome had never head before, it was relaxed, calm, childish...like he was a kid having fun.

Kagome smiled, "cause I want to go you lunatic!!!"

"So now I'm a lunatic ah?"

'There is that tone again...I wonder why he is letting himself be so exposed?...well I better enjoy it lasts' "cause ill sit you if you don't..." but Kagome knew she wouldn't, number one InuYasha flips over when he gets sat...in turn squishing her...and why sit him over something THIS petty...

InuYasha was holding Kagome so her back was up against his torso and he had her arms pinned to her sides. He leaned up to her ear "what fun would that be if I just LET you go"

Kagome opened her mouth to retaliate but she couldn't think of anything to say, she just lied there.

"That's what I thought" InuYasha smirked as he released her arms and started to tickle her again, she rolled off of the hanyou and onto her floor, after a moment she saw an opening...she could get away...she took it ands tore off downstairs.

Kagome stumbled on the carpet at the bottom and InuYasha pounces on her sufficiently pinning her again. Just then Mrs. H walks in with Souta.

They walk into the family room to find the couple on the living room floor laughing and messing around; Kagome had finally given up and now she was after her hanyou friend, who she managed to jump on before he could take off.

"hm hm!" Kagome mother 'Politely' interrupts the pair look up both blushing crimson now. Mrs. H smiles at the teens, then puts on a faux frown, "now aren't you two supposed to be asleep?"

"Ahhhh" was all either of them could come up with.

"Good now up to your room you both have to get up in the morning!"

Both the human and the hanyou walked up the stairs and into Kagome's pink room, Kagome fixed the bed with a blush still very apparent on her cheeks. She then yawned and InuYasha walked over to her, "you want to sleep in my bed InuYasha?"

"Nani?" he asked taken aback by the question

"Well I want to sleep in my bed tonight and...and I ....I can't...ican'tseemtobeabletofallasleepwithoutyouaround." She added really fast and really softy...unfortunately (or fortunately, depends how you look at it) he heard it.

With an ever-deepening blush on his face he answered, "uh, uh y-yea"

"Ok" Kagome replies in her normal bubbly voice. Then the pair of then crawl into bed, Kagome snuggled against InuYasha's torso, InuYasha's arms wrapped around Kagome his face in her hair, the couple fell into a pleasant sleep.
