His silhouette laid beside him on the edge of the dock, and his dull reflection cast against the dark blue water from the lake. Whether he believed it or not, without me he'd likely be one of those teenagers that would sit at home, be alone not giving a care to do anything. He hated being an only child, but he'd always let everything else spoil, or get the rest of them; even if, it was a stupid bet.


In the beginning it was hard enough getting along with him. It was impossible. He seemed to stand out from the rest of the students in the school, since he always had this scowl on his face even if nobody even talked to him or bothered him at all. Nobody understood his problem, it's like he thought the world and everyone hated him but it was the other way around with him. It was hard enough even talking with him at first. His arms were always crossed; he just had that look he wanted everyone to back away then to come forward. He always pushed me away, never liked for someone to even talk to him or even get to know something about him. I don't know how I managed to change it, but in a lot of ways he's changed. Now look. The guy who would never even interact with people showed he had a heart and cared, and now staying here at my cottage. Sometimes, Inuyasha is hard enough to understand, but even with his attitude I love being with him no matter what the situation.

Blankly, I stared at the crumbled up twenty dollar bill that was placed into my hands. I felt guilty, like it was my entire fault for him biting my head off, and storming off and being by his lonesome all upset and depressed. " Maybe I should hand him back the money. It seemed like a stupid bet anyway. I know how much he hates being talked to when he's in a fowl mood but, he needs to suck it up sometimes. The last thing I want to happen, is for him to beg to go home and leave because of all this." My hands scooped the still, warm water that had steam literally rising to the ceiling grabbing the wash cloth and smothering my face with the soap and the water. " What am I thinking! He'll probably just tell me to fuck off, or say he wants to leave. I don't know what's worse..leaving him alone, or putting up with him!" My fist banged against the sink, without realizing that the razor had fallen face up, leaving my hand to bleed consistently and leaving me to wince harshly in pain.

" Screw this!" Screaming to myself, only the walls hearing my anger and my cries from inside. The toilet paper barely did anything to stop the bleeding, and I didn't even feel like bothering going into the cupboard to find any band-aids, or walk outside and let everyone else in my family pick up on my problems and issues, and try to comfort me. Right now, I wasn't in the mood to be hugged, or explain problems to anyone at all. Just, wasn't worth the effort.

" Kagome, hurry up!" Sota kindly demanded, sounding in a real rush just to get inside. I glanced at the door, wondering why everyone had to interrupt me when everything was bad, or completely miserable with me. When I wanted to be left alone, everyone wanted to bother me, even with the small things like knocking on the door. " Why? You don't freakin need to come in here Sota!" My voiced raised higher and higher, enough for people miles away to hear the stress in my voice. My mood was getting worse and worse by every second, and never had I never be so upset enough to even consider chucking something against the door. " Kagome, if your forgetting it is a bathroom and we all need to use it!" Sota cried out, dancing around trying to wait with patience to get inside and relieve himself.


My mind was somewhere, else where. I had completely forgotten this wasn't some place to be alone and sulk, it was a bathroom and everyone needed it sometime or another. I just didn't want my mood spoiled because of his behavior, and the fact I felt like I had to apologize for something I really didn't do enough, for me to be actually sorry.

" Fine! There you go Sota!"

Whipping the door until it smashed against the bathroom wall, leaving the rest of the family probably concerned, knowing there was something completely wrong. Sota's face looked astounded; like he had never seen a girl like me furious about something, or so mad. His face was completely blank, not knowing if he should even go there and ask, or just leave everything to silence. My feet heavily smacked against the floorboards, running into my safety of hiding; my bedroom.

I threw my entire body, against the bed leaving me to bounce in mid-air bringing my body down with force against the mattress. I made sure the door was completely locked, so nobody couldn't come in, and nobody wouldn't dare bother me until I felt ready to face people and take every little problem or issue.

" Inuyasha.. he never gotten me this mad before, but it's over something completely stupid and I know that! I never cared before he was mad at me.. but why now? Why do I have to be in a fowl mood because he is!" Usually, things like this never bothered me before. But now, this was completely different.


" She must be real mad at me, if she hasn't come out yet. Usually she'd come and apologize to me. Feh, guess it shows how stubborn she can be. I could really care less right now."

Inuyasha thought to himself, laying against the damp dock, watching the clouds graze past the moon, seeing only it's light lit the night sky up. He watched the mist rise over the water, also watching the fireflies dancing in the night that made me feel so at peace and ease. He knew, it was a better getaway than being at the trailer park for the summer that he went to all the time with his father. The lake was pretty much dead there, and there was no one he really knew that interested him. My cottage was a better place than he ever been. He understood why she bragged about it so much, it was beyond paradise to him.. It wasn't really the cottage that made him happy, it was the fact he was here with myself and the rest of my family. He wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

" I have no clue why I'm going down there to see him, and apologizing even though it's not exactly my fault. It's a nice night anyways. Plus, we can't stay mad at each other anyways, and he knows that."

I thought gleaming out my bedroom, catching a tiny glimpse of him sitting near the dock, feeling somewhat bad for bitching at him and leaving him to transform back to his miserable self. I just placed my small blue slippers on, grabbing the last thing of ice tea and realized how late it had been. My brother was in his room watching his late night cartoons, which I could hear blaring from his open door. My mother was likely already beat from her cooking and cleaning, and my grandfather.. always slept.

Inuyasha could hear the sound of shoes smacking against the wet, stone steps turning around swiftly knowing a shadowy figure holding a half lit white candle, held softly in her hand. He could see my light flannel pajamas, that had the little dogs on it something he had made fun of me for all the time, and he knew well enough from the slippers and clothing it was me.

He just placed the triumph smile on his face, with his cocky attitude knowing I'd likely come down and say sorry, hoping everything would just go back to normal.

" Ha, she's probably going to do the sorry routine..She might as well be. She can't expect me to even say that. Even it's really that wench's fault." Inuyasha thought, while I waltzed down the stone steps until my feet had finally reached Inuyasha, who was consumed in a light haze of mist.

" Let me guess.. Came here to say sorry…as always.."

Inuyasha muttered, with his arms back laughing inside hoping for me to be begging on my knees for his forgiveness, while he had the amusement, the last laugh. It was true enough I did tend to say sorry no matter who's doing, but I wasn't going to be that generous.. after all this is what moment he was truly waiting for….His dark brown eyes followed me, watching me place myself at the edge of the dock securely placing the half dead candle beside me, while more wax burned off of it.

" Actually Inuyasha no. Nice try. I came down here because I'd like to relax. I mean it's a nice night anyways. I like it when everybody is asleep and it's beautiful out. I always come to think here."

My hands grasped the paper back novel beside me, laying a couple of feet apart from Inuyasha who was looking in the opposite direction refusing to even make eye contact with me.

Gently, I threw my slippers and socks at the edge of the lake dipping my feet in, laughing by the how cold it was, yet how relaxing it felt. I just flipped open the paper back, opening it exactly where I had left off. It had a beautiful picture of a girl in the shadows, and a guy off in the sunset…Inuyasha acted like he could care less about some stupid book, but instead I could feel his eyes looking over my shoulder trying to read the words and jolt away whenever I looked back.

" How can you read those stupid things! Getting caught up in some stupid love book. It's better to read about gore, if anything Kagome…"

His voice trailed off, seriously wondering how I could read something like that. It made me laugh sometimes how he was… things that he hated that I enjoyed, he tended to slowly take interest in.

My feet just swayed calmly in the cold water, diving in further into the book, drowning out Inuyasha's grunts or sighs that came from his mouth. It was a book only girls would appreciate, and adore and yet,he had to ruin it for me.

" Feh, you girls and your love stories.. If I had a dollar for every time you'd guys read crap like that, I'd be damn rich…"

Inuyasha managed to stick something else in rudely, waiting for me to flip out or hit him but it wasn't worth the effort. I glanced at him in the corner of my eye, seeing him amusing himself with a twig and yet admiring the cottage's surroundings.

" He's never been so quiet before…Usually he has one rude comment after another."

My eyes turned back to my novel, happily flipping through the pages concentrating on every little detail, and every word that was written. His eyes just gleamed back after snapping the twig completely in half, looking how entranced I was reading just a simple little novel. He swung his bare feet, until he decided to place them right near mind feeling the coldness shock him while he laid down partly on the dock, facing towards the sky.

" Kagome? What's that book even about?" He curiously looked at him, with his head cocked in my direction seeing from his view only the cover and some of the writing.

" Why do you want to know? After all it's a stupid novel, girls like me like to read.."

My voice carried without a care, intimidating his heavy, raspy voice that always screaming directly at me. He mocks it, yet he always wonder what's so interesting about it? He amused me sometimes. He pretended not to care about things like that, but yet here he was asking about something he just currently insulted. His body neared beside me, trying to sneak a glance and read it, yet he thought I was pretty stupid if I didn't realize what he was doing.

" Why do you like it Inuyasha?" I turned to him, noticing his head was completely over my shoulder annoyingly hovering over me like it was something completely important to see it.

" Feh no! I just wanted to know what it's about considering you look like a zombie reading it!"

Inuyasha placed another mean comment in, laying back down in his original position while his face was at least three different shades of red. It was a meaner way of saying, ' I wanted to know what you were reading, cause you look like your enjoying it.' He always have to make things much more complicated than they actually are.

He just began blowing air simply from his lips in boredom, while I managed to place the book down to my lap, turning to his bored like expression plastered on his face. " What does he mistake me for? A stupid idiot? Inuyasha it's about a girl named Marie in love with some guy named, Jake. Those two like each other yet, don't admit it. Then one Marie's friend steals away Jake , and Jake confuses her. So she basically ends up heart broken so far anyway…"


Inuyasha looked over at me, as though I had two heads or something odd happening to me. His mouth just dropped and his one eyebrow lifted, which had to be one of his funniest facial expressions ever.

" How about.. English?"

My wick of patience's were growing real thin with him. His voice became to annoy me, and his little comments were driving me up the wall and back again. His voice raised higher, always demanding something out of someone. The nerve of him…His face scowled while he looked deeply at me, while I refused to answer him for a moment or two.

" Oh I'm sorry…I forgot.. I'll use small words on you since you can barely understand anything we say!" My hand grasped on to the novel swatting him with force, against the cheek placing it back down on the dock with the smile painted on my face.

His cheek had already had a bright red mark on the one side, that made me chuckle knowing he truly deserved it. After all, he was being an asshole…His hands just rubbed his cheeks stunned, I would ever think about hitting him, or even touching him at all. I didn't have one ounce of guilt in my system anymore.. The nice routine had finally disappeared, and being mean was wrong… but felt so good.

" Bitch.. you hit me…!"

His nose pressed against my face in a huge fight, narrowing his eyes at me while I could just grin, even if my cheeks were sore.

" Your point, twitchie!" Inuyasha pushed with force, while I glared back looking at his into his stunning mocha colored eyes. He hated me calling him that. His one eyebrow always did that, each time he was mad and I pointed that out almost every time we fought.

" Twitchie! I'll show ya my point!"

Inuyasha screamed, grasping the novel that laid on the dock looking at it, shrugging his shoulders, " Stupid novel anyways…" His massive hands grasped it tightly hurling it directly into the lake, seeing it floating off in the distance. He just smacked his hands clean, with this dirty smile on his face, while my face was already bright red with my hands curled into fists.

" You Asshole! Great, you ruined it!"

I stood to my feet, with my one hand grasped hard onto his muscle shirt, while his back faced towards the open lake. His face winced off pain from my nails touching his skin, while he just shoved back, yet his eyes and his expression said it all he was pretty much scared.

" No, not really. Unless you'd like to go swimming and blow it with a hair dryer. Cause, I'm not replacing it…."

My hands got a good tight grip on him, slowly shoving him closer and closer to the edge of the dock. " Well I'm wearing a white shirt anyways! So no!" I screamed back, noticing his one foot just ready to fall directly off the dock and into the water.

" Your such a baby Kagome."

His body was already unstable, while I pushed him harder watching him already half way to falling waiting to laugh and point at him all freezing cold and drenched. His smile just widened, looking directly at me that caught me completely off guard.

" Kagome, I think you're the one going into the water!"

He laughed, switching spots with me and swinging me in mid-air, letting go until I felt myself slowly fall into the water, feeling the cold hit me all at once. He just sat at the ledge of the dock kicking his feet in laughter, placing his hands over his forehead and laughing so hard until the point he was hurting.

" Kagome! You look so hot, with your make-up all down your face! Thinking your smart… I can't look at you! It hurts too much to look at you!" His hands grasped his stomach, I'd never seen him laugh so hysterically before.

My legs and arms just flailed in the cold, murky water that looked blacker than ever like I swimming in a whole thing of oil. My hair was sticking to my face, and my mascara was probably already half way down my face. "

I hate you! God, your such an ass! Wait till I get out of here…"

His face even grew more with laughter, knowing thoughts were fleeing through his mind already constantly of how to make matters worse, and he enjoyed it all. His feet splashed water directly at my face, while I spit the excess water I had gotten in my mouth. " Kagome…Remember that movie we watched? The one with the lake monster….The one you were scared of?"

If I could have hit him hard I would have, the problem was I was in the water and he was on the dock.

" I wasn't scared of it! I just.. didn't like it, that's all." That movie made me jump half of the time, and he loved hearing me scream at the top of my lungs over a movie.. No wonder he enjoyed picking them out….

" The lake monster is probably in there with ya.…" The freezing cold water, began to turn warmer, while I continued paddling along towards the edge of the dock, hating him for every moment of this.

" No it isn't!"

My legs continued splashing around in the water, until I felt something brush against me, that freaked me out completely, that made me scream at the top of my lungs. I continued paddling faster and faster with my might towards the dock, while his eyes opened widely hearing me scream in a world of panic.

" Kagome!"

Inuyasha bent down on the dock reaching how as far as his hand could, while my hands grasped onto his with a smile, trashing him into the cold freeze water. I couldn't stop laughing. Pretty mean to pretend something was after me, but he deserved it completely for throwing me into the water.

" Ha! You should of saw the look of your face!" My finger pointed at him, while his face blushed four shades of red, feeling like the biggest idiot ever.

" Kagome, that wasn't funny! I thought something actually happened to you!"

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at me, crossing his arms if he wasn't in the water. He had the look of disappoint written on his face, while I swam over feeling pretty bad that it wasn't taken as a joke. My brown eyes widely stared back at him, while he just disappeared underneath the water, before I could even attempt to say I was sorry.

" I'm freezing.We should leave… Inuyasha?" I just saw the ripples from the lake side, and seeing more dark black water, reflecting the moon's light and the fireflies dancing over head. I didn't see where exactly he had went underneath the water, I assumed he was being an idiot attempting to scare me, or one of his stupid plans to get back at me. "

Come on out Inuyasha! It isn't funny!"

Still, I saw nothing around me. I felt like someone floating off in an ocean, lost completely and feeling so scared and alone.


A few minutes flew by, and at that state I was in a complete panic. Inuyasha would never let me worry that long, if it was one of his cruel jokes, also nobody could hold there breath that long either. Inuyasha would have had to resurfaced for air, but I didn't see him, which lead me to panic even more.

" Inuyasha!"

I screamed, diving underneath the murky water placing my hands out touching the bottom, knowing I couldn't see anything at all. Blindly, I touched the seaweed that laid at the bottom, trying to find him before he was out of air. " Please be ok Inuyasha.. hold on alittle longer…" For a few minutes I traveled resurfacing again gasping for a short breath, until I saw an dark shadow of a body underneath the water and saw his eyes sealed shut, and his feet tangled in the seaweed vine.

" If we weren't fighting this wouldn't have happened! He better be alright. I don't want to him to die…I don't want him to!"

I grasped him by the edge of his collar, dragging him while I paddled lifelessly with one hand pounding against, the water. He gently floated along behind me, while I pushed myself further and faster like I had a time limit… My hands were nervously shaking when I saw his lips were tightened together, and his eyes were sealed shut almost like he had been in a deep sleep…that's what scared me the most. Gently, I laid his back against the wooden dock smacking him harder and harder against the cheek, hoping that would be enough to wake him.. but it wasn't.

" Inuyasha…wake up! Please wake up!" Tears were already pouring down my eyes, knowing I had to follow through with the procedures that I had learned throughout health class, and thank god I knew it. But I could only wonder.. am I too late?

"Kagome..ok.. relax.. take a deep breath. He'll be fine.." I kept trying to convince myself while my hands were against his toned chest, checking his vital signs yet still in a downward spiral of panic.

" How do I know that he's fine?" I began to struggle and fight with myself, keeping a strong focus on him awaiting for his eyes to open, revealing his dark brown eyes and his entrancing smile. It was scary now that the tables were turned. He was always the one who saved me, but this was my chance to. I couldn't dare to screw up on it. No way wasn't I going to allow myself be a fool and let this happen. I never actually thought one day I needed to put this procure to use, but yet I proved myself wrong.

" Inuyasha…please..Please…Be alive,..please be alive.."

My one hand stayed steady around his chest, and my other hand gently pressed his nose, opening his mouth and placing my lips gently against his. " This better work…"

I waited a couple of minutes but his chest refused to rise, and his eyes were still sealed shut. Tears were damping my cheek like the spray of rain drops in a storm; I just grasped on harder doing it over again until he caught a grasp of breath, and the water disappearing from his lungs. My knees were rough and bleed from the broken nails that were holding the dock together, but I could have cared less about that.

" I've done it a million times and he still hasn't come around! I can't be doing it wrong can I? No, I aced that test perfectly, plus that life guard course helped me.. Inuyasha…no! Your not dead…Come on Inuyasha prove me wrong like you always do!"

My weak hands grasped on to his shirt for dear life, as though I didn't have anymore ounce of strength inside of me. He just laid there, like a person was when they were sleeping, and like a person in a casket. His chest didn't rise, and his eyes didn't open.. and my heart was already bleeding, refusing to believe the logical idea of what happened to him.. I felt like a complete failure, an idiot. He was always there to save me.. but yet I failed to save him. How was I going to live myself?

" Inuyasha please prove me wrong! Please just anything! Move, talk, make fun of me.. I don't care just please do something! I always ask you for favors Inuyasha, but this favour I need you to promise you can't die.. but that promise is already broken isn't it? I know it is…Inuyasha I'm sorry I failed.. I'm sorry I couldn't save you.. I'm sorry I…."

My head was already bowed down in defeat, laying my head against his chest, which had I had always done when we were laying against a couch, or a bed. I always had feel of my head rising and falling, and I couldn't contain my laughter when that happened. I kept whispering to him, as though he could hear my every thought, and word…I just tried to make myself believe he would be alright, but inside I knew everything wasn't alright.. and it would never be ok…I would be seeing him like anyone that lost someone would. The only way I'd see him alive. In a picture frame, in my mind.. and in a casket…

My head just hovered over his lifeless body, grasping on tighter and harder than ever before. My hands were already shaking, and my eyes were all blurry overcome with the tears that bleed from my eyes. " Inuyasha I'm sorry.. I'm sorry…I'm sorry Inuyasha! Only if you could hear me…"


" I can hear you Kagome..every word.." The voice muttered feeling my lips pull against his, and leaving me in amazement and in utter shock to know and realize.. he was truly alive.

My eyes shot open wide, feeling his soft lips brush against mine feeling my head spinning, and my stomach twisting and turning in knots.

" Your alive! Inuyasha! I thought you left me behind!"

My voice was hysterical and my hands undying embracing his body, while his soft smile transforming into a soft kind laugh, that was rare to hear but it gave me butterflies in my stomach just to hear it. Inuyasha mocha eyes were filled with joy and laughter, seeing the fact I had been worried and the fact, tears were streaming down my cheek made his smile transform into a sense of worry.

" Kagome…what the hell did you thinking you were doing?"

My hands pulled away from his waist, when I heard his nasty attitude in full swing again. He was asking me what I was doing! After all I was saving his life, and that's all he could say to me? Most people would be hugging them tightly, pleading with thanks.. but no he had to make things worst than it had been. But at least, I knew he was alive.. and that his attitude wasn't exactly something that I had missed. I felt the cold breeze brushing against my legs, and feeling my blood boil to see his face making a scowl, and giving me the dirtiest look as though I had done something completely wrong.

" What the hell do you think I was doing? I was saving your life! What should I be sorry I saved your ass? God, your such an ungrateful asshole! Inuyasha seriously…."

Inuyasha had a secret glimmering in his chocolate eyes when he stared at me, but it was something I had be unaware about. I could hear sweet laughter slipping from his lips, that made me grow crazier with anger and rage, to the point I could just strangle him with both hands!

" Silly Kagome..that's not what I meant…"

His voice whispered, that swung me more into a world of confusion. I didn't know what he had in mind, but my hands were already cold and anxious at the fact of his smile in the corner of his lips that made me fear for my life. Before I could even form my sentence, his eyes made contact, and it had felt me completely frozen and awestruck.

" This..is what I meant…"

Inuyasha embraced me harder against him, leaving me to feel tainted and leaving me to freeze at the wrong moment.. His fingers teased my chin, while his eyes danced with happiness; something I had never seen before. Before I knew it, his lips locked with mine then I knew, exactly what he meant….

My stomach was filled with butterflies, like the feeling I had been floating, and another feeling as though I had been falling. I really didn't have time to think about anything. For once my mind was clear, and I knew then my cheeks were already burning red, and probably a hundred different shades of red. I was already imagining his smile extending ear to ear, and me speechless of what to say. It was like movies I loved to watch and Inuyasha hated with a passion.. but yet this changed my mind about how I thought about him. Before I could even pull away and say a simple word, I heard a disturbing noise that made both of our eyes awake with shock, that made me nervously jolt away.

" High-five! I knew this camera would be handy for something!"

Sota laughed harder and harder like the little brat he was. His hands slammed in a well done high-five with that annoying brat, Myles that he had met awhile back at some park around the cottage.

Myles held the camera in his greedy hands, with his dirty blonde hair looking almost black in the dark.

" Sota, this is how to torture your sister…." Myles placed a wide smile on his face, noticing my face burning different shades of red, and Inuyasha's face basically lit up like a Christmas tree. Oh, how I hated that brat Myles. He was one of those annoying kids that knew exactly how to get underneath your skin, and was excellent at bothering me, as well as his older sister.

At that moment I felt like my life had been ruined completely! That kiss didn't go as planned either. It's nothing that Inuyasha and I had in mind.. I feel completely outraged and useless knowing now, that picture.. that shot of us kissing together was inside that camera and would be developed and ruined my life as well as his.. My hands grasped the dock with anger, getting up to my feet, while Inuyasha was narrowing his eyes at Myles with so much hate that it made the kid quiver in fear.

" You two.. I suggest if you two don't want to end up uglier than you already are…hand over the camera…Now!"

Inuyasha's rough hand was placed out, expecting those two to be scared out of their wits, nervously handing the camera back and running back like school girls into the cottage. Inuyasha was good at intimidating people, even little kids and he knew how to put people in line when they needed to be, that's what I loved about him. Myles gave the guiltiest look ever, holding the bright red camera lifeless in his hands leaving Inuyasha to place on a cocky smile, when he realized they were waving the white flag.

" Well I guess you can't make use uglier considering I already am!"

Myles laughed while he saw him roll the camera back into his hands that left Inuyasha shocked. Myles and Sota began running faster and faster towards the stone steps, while Inuyasha's eyes had murder written inside of them, with his hands transformed into fists almost like he had been carrying a weapon.

" You fuckers! Come back here before I pluck you damn feathers and shove them down your throat! You chickens! So help me god.. wait till I get one of you…!"

Sota looked back in worry, seeing Inuyasha flying and stumbling on the steps, noticing the sweat that was already receding from his forehead, and Sota was already looking at him as though he had horns growing out of his head, and fangs. "

Myles if you don't wanna die I suggest you run faster!" Sota screamed pushing himself harder, feeling the muscles in his legs tightening to the point it hurt and moaned out of agony. Myles looked back stumbling to grab the camera from Sota's hands, while Myles looked at Inuyasha with amazement rather than fearing him.

" Sota come on. He couldn't catch us if he tried. This should help… You look hungry…here have some rocks!" Myles bent over grabbing the shiny rocks that would call to any troublesome kid, for them to use it in personal game.

" You brat!" Inuyasha yelled feeling his throat straining, placing his hands out in front of him, and ducking at every sign of a rock coming and crashing down. Inuyasha began to ran quicker than before, grasping Sota's legs while Myles ran off to the forest side in laughter, fleeing and leaving my brother to deal with Inuyasha's wrath and him scared out of his wits.

" Ok squirt. Listen to me. Give me the camera and you won't have a broken face…." Inuyasha raised his fist high into the air, while I grasped his hand back and smacking him directly in the back of the head.

" Inuyasha! Your not beating him up! violence isn't going to do anything!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at him, as though I was giving him another boring lame speech he had to listen to for a couple seconds. In his case, which seemed like an hour that just dragged on. His voice was cocky with laughter and arrogance, while his fist slowly lowered down, hesitating whether he wanted to bring it back up again. He cocked his head at me, noticing the foul expression on my face and my body language showing him I wasn't joking around either.

" Kagome come on.. I do this at my…trailer." Inuyasha didn't seem to get the point of anything I said. I think it just went through one ear, and out the other with him sometimes. He basically whined, with his eyes widened like a kid who had his heart set on something he always wanted, and me being the monster of course telling him ' no'.

" I don't care if this is how you take care of business at your trailer! Do you see any trailers around Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha blankly looked around for the hell of it, getting a nice view of the lake that made him stare in a daze, until he heard the yelling from my loud mouth.

" No I don't." Inuyasha smiled partly, while he grasped the camera off of Sota quietly, leaving him to run back into the cottage acting as though nothing happened.

" Well Inuyasha I'm glad you could figure that out. That's just plain trailer trash." Inuyasha slipped the camera into his pocket, turning towards me and giving me the dirtiest look when he heard that comment rise from my lips, and hitting him harder than ever.

" So what! You calling me trailer trash now!"

I looked at his hate dancing in his chocolate colored eyes, I could barely see because his bangs over them. I looked down at him, seeing the same exact hate she saw before they were even considered friends, it gave me a bitter chill up my spine when I just remembered what she had said.

" Inuyasha…That's not-" Inuyasha shook his head, narrowing his eyes, and turning his head away towards the direction of the forest, and seeing the girl in the corner of his eye.

" Kagome whatever. Last thing I need you to do is ruin my time up here."

He just wiped the sand off his dark ripped pants, and grasped the door seeing her completely silent, and the look of sorry written in her eyes.

" I'm going to bed, so don't even bother me with your apologizes right now."

I watched him walk into the darkness of the cottage, seeing his shadow disappearing and blending in with the darkness. I watched him head from the kitchen down to the hall, while I sat at the ledge of the door, with a crooked smile on my face.

" Goodnight Inuyasha."


I managed to say, knowing she was going to get nothing in return. I just brought her knees to her chin, resting my head and watching the stars gleaming their brightest, and noticing how many she could see now then she did in the city.

" I forgot Inuyasha was sensitive. I didn't mean to say as though he was trailer trash, because I know that's what he thought. I know many people made fun of him for that, and he probably remembered that when he heard what I said. Hopefully by tomorrow he'll be alright. That's all I can hope for."
