I am so sooooooo sorry for not updating in who knows how long, but I hate a lot of things to do. Anywhom this chapter has bunches of fluffily puffity goodness! Wheee! Caution; if u don't want fluff 'n stuff, do not read.

Inuyasha: That's always your excuse.

Madame: Is not! I really have been with getting mm schedule, auditions, going to Macon, Going-

Inuyasha: To the movies, bowling. Yeah, that's not important! These people have been waiting!

Madame: No more back sass, young man! (hits Inuyahsa with a stuffed animal) Let's begin!

"You're in for it now, Pinocchio," Inuyasha stated without thinking.

"Well who are you, Jiminy Cricket?" Kagome cried.

"Oops," Inuyasha muttered sheepishly. There went the act right there.

"Kagome, spill," Eri said as she placed her hands on her hips. "We want to know what is up."

"No, better yet," Yumi interrupted, "let's let Jeff tell us."

Kagome's eyes widened. Oh no! What would Inuyasha say? If he told them about being a demon, then they would think they were both…crazy…Kagome smiled a little. This might work after all.

Inuyasha looked at the girls, who glared back menacingly. "Keh," the demon snorted, "I ain't saying nothing about nothin. If you wanna know, ask your so called friend." He turned to glare at Kagome. "Or are you still to ashamed," he whispered to her.

Looking away from his glance, she began. "Look, guys," the raven-haired girl breathed. "If you want the truth, it is gonna take awhile, so I'll make it short as I can."

"Whatever whatever, stop stalling!" Yumi cried. "We know he isn't retarded and we don't think he's your cousin. Spill," she hissed.

"Fine, fine," she surrendered. "His name is not Jeff, it's Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha!" the two other girl cried in surprise. "What kinda name is that?"

"Say that again you little wenches!" Inuyasha roared as he made a lunge at them. They both screamed hysterically and jumped to the other side of Kagome's bed.

"Stop it!" Kagome cried as she jerked him back, causing him to fall and her too. "Ohh, I am so sick of this happening!"

"Then let him go. Duh," Eri stated obviously.

The girl and boy both blushed a little. "We can't," they muttered.

The other girls looked at each other and then back and Kagome and Inuyasha. Taking a deep breath, Yumi inquired in a confused tone, "Why?"

"Superglue," Kagome muttered, looking away.

"What?"

"Superglue."

"You to qu-"

"IT'S SUPERGLUE YOU NITWITS!" Inuyasha roared. "Simple freaking superglue! Got it?"

The girls nodded, eyes widened in fright from his sudden outburst.

Everyone sat in silence now. Kagome was looking at the wall, Inuyasha was looking at the opposite wall, Eri and Yumi were looking at the two.

"Well," Yumi sated, breaking the awkwardness. "It's simple really. Fingernail polish remover."

"What?" Kagome snapped looking over.

"Gosh Kagome, fingernail polish remover. Just put it on a q-tip, rub it on your hands were it is at and it will eventually come undone."

"Really? Are you serious?" Kagome was feeling really stupid. Why hadn't she thought of that. And it would be just like Inuyasha to blame her for it.

Standing, Eri walked over to Kagome's vanity and plucked up the bottle and a q-tip. Dipping it in, she walked over and grabbed their hands and began rubbing furiously. After a good while and some serious hand washing, the two were finally free.

"Kagome, that is so funny and weird, yet somehow sweet," Yumi giggled after Kagome had told them the parts of the story she figured ok to tell.

"Well, I guess it was a little, but I guess I need to apologize to him." Standing, she walked out of her room and downstairs. "Inuyasha?" she called. No answer. Walking outside, she called again, "Inuyasha!"

"What!" the boy snapped from his perch on a nearby tree branch.

Running over, Kagome looked up at him. "Um, can I come up, Inuyasha?"

"Would it matter what I said?"

"No, I'd come up anyway."

"So why ask?"

She laughed and climbed up, settling herself next to him.

"Look, I'm really sorry Inuyasha." He opened his mouth to speak, but she stopped him. "And I didn't know about the finger nail polish remover, or I would've done it. I'm sorry I was a jerk to you, I'm sorry I didn't tell who you were, I'm just sorry about everything."

Looking up at the moon, he seemed to think on this. Kagome glanced over at him, the light shining off his hair and eyes. He seemed so innocent right now.

"Kagome," he breathed.

"Yes?" she asked in the same tone.

"Are you really ashamed of me? Do you really not like me enough to tell people the truth about me?" The hurt was obvious, no matter how hard he was trying to sound like he didn't care.

"No, no Inuyasha, of course not!" the girl answered quickly. She reached out to touch his shoulder, but pulled back quickly. For some reason, she was afraid of him right now. Not because of the anger he might have, but of what she would feel if she did.

"Then why can't you just tell people?" he asked, looking at her dead on. She couldn't bring herself to look away.

"It's...it's me. I'm afraid of what they would think of me."

"For knowing someone like me? Kagome, either way you say it, it still means the same thing to me. That I must disgrace you or something." He looked away again and directed his attention back to the moon.

Kagome looked at it too, thinking. He was right. She was hiding him from the rest of the world, but was she doing it for him or her? Was she afraid of how people would be if they knew such simple things? All she would've had to say was, "This is Inuyasha. I accidentally super glued our hands together." But she had to make a whole deal because she didn't want people to know the truth. Did she even know the truth?

She felt tears sting her eyes, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. "I'm sorry. I know it doesn't matter how much I say it, but I don't know what I'm afraid of."

The demon snorted but didn't say anything. Kagome looked at him and laid her head against his warm shoulder. He looked at her, but she had her eyes shut tight and was frowning.

"Kagome, it's ok," he muttered.

"No, no it's not," she choked. "What is wrong with me?"

"Nothing Kagome, nothing is wrong with you," he said and hugged her roughly. This wasn't exactly a normal thing for him.

She didn't mind the tightness at all, and clutched his shirt and laid her head on his chest.

"I don't know what else to say," she breathed.

"You don't have to say anything else. I believe you're sorry," he replied. He started to let go, but she hugged him tightly.

"You're warm," she murmured. She snapped her eyes open. Oh my gosh, had she said that aloud?

"Kagome," he began.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she blurted out as she let him go quickly. "I didn't meant to say it!"

The demon smirked. "You're blushing."

"I...I don't know what you mean," she replied. But she felt her face practically glowing as she said it. Looking up, she met his eyes for a brief moment, and she knew. And, she saw it flash in his that he did too.

Reaching out, Inuyasha touched her face as before, and she reached up and took his hand. "Inuyasha," she muttered. "I think, I might just love you."

A/n: Dun dun dun! Now you have to wait forever for the next chapter. Bwahahahahahha! Am I evil o what?
