A/N: I couldn't decide between leaving the story as a fun little one-shot or turning it into a meaningful piece of work but in the end, i've decided to compromise.

I give you ... a meaningless two-chaptered oneshot.

All disclaimers apply.

Ear Fetish

Strange

Brought to you by MistressWinter

Addicted. Utterly and hopelessly addicted, I say. Now I've had my fair share of addictions in the past, but they were to rational things. Things like chocolate, green tea mochi balls, and a wealth of animes and mangas.

Not that Inuyasha's ears weren't rational. OK. Maybe they weren't rational, but they were still pretty darn cute. It was the same feeling you got when you saw a cute kitten, that little voice inside you that urged you to pet it, hug it, and when no one else is looking, make silly cooing sounds at it. It was the same principle at work here, except Inuyasha's ears were cuter than any kitten's. And again, if he heard me saying that or even got wind of me saying it, I would be dumped faster than yesterday's ramen. Well, maybe faster. Inuyasha's would probably sample day-old-ramen, -then- throw it away but if I insulted his vaunted male ego, I'd be one big green and white blur over the rainbow.

I had only done it once but I can't help but want to do it again. Nibble on his ears, not insult his ego. Unless… they're mutually exclusive? No, no. I think he liked me nibbling on his ear, if what he said was anything to go by.

"That was some apology."

Distance. That's what I need. That's it! No more rides on his back and I won't be tempted. Genius, Kagome, you are a genius. I congratulate myself with a pat on the back. Literally, when I meant to do it mentally. Oops. He looked over at me with his tawny, teasing eyes and I wonder if they saw me shiver. Can't nibble on those.

Eww.

But they were making my knees turn to a pile of oden. Is there anything about this man that doesn't turn me on? Back to the eyes. You can't ever tell with him. Them? Yes, his emotions are as plain as day, namely rage and hunger, but sometimes, his whole demeanor is so… guarded. Like he's two people trapped in one hot body. He can be so fiery and brash, but then when no one else is looking, he turns into this brooding, yet still hot, vault of emotions. That's why I was walking on glass the whole evening, because I didn't know which one would appear. I mean after the incident, as I have dubbed it, he's been acting so weird.

Maybe she –was– apologizing and not just being strange. Speaking of strange, she's being strange again. Squirming whenever I look at her, or refusing to get on my back. Hitting herself on her back. Strange. Maybe she's being possessed… or not. Miko. Right.

Why did she bite my ears anyways? Damned wench. Damned confusing wench. Damned confusing, biting wench. Ok, ok, so it was more of a nibble. Which, if you think about it, isn't a bad thing. At least it wasn't Miroku. I shudder, at my thoughts of Miroku biting my ears or Kagome nibbling them, I cannot decide.

When she did it, it felt like my internal organs rearranged themselves alphabetically, but a lot more pleasant.

Maybe I should return the favor?

A/N: you know, i wanted to leave well enough alone but all that positive feedback really changed my mind.

I might leave it as it is now though. I mean, you have Inuyasha'spoint of view, short as it is.
