How to love a Hanyou in 30 days
Coming Clean

Kagome POV
Okay, I was freaking out. I mean, who wouldn't? Inuyasha had half his gut hanging out on my porch! I mean, yeah I was concerned, but sadly, I was more disgusted. I know that makes me sound shallow, but, EW. Okay, so here I am, standing over him screaming my brains out when my mom comes running in, "What's WORNG!"
Mom stopped dead in her tracks, staring wide-eyed at poor Inuyasha. "Oh-My-God…" My mom was at my side fusing and screaming with me. Inuyasha was now awake staring not at his open stomach, but at us with terror in his eyes.
Like we were insane, okay, sure we looked a little odd screaming, but you know, he was hurt. "Would you guys quit fusing?" I can't believe he asked me that! "Wh-what?" I was in momentary shock, he was insane, 'will you quit fusing?' it's like he doesn't know he has his guts practically hanging out.
I think he realized why we were freaking out and sighed. "I'm a Hanyou, this is nothing but a scratch, I'm fine." I had a little, ohhhh, moment. "Oh." My mom said it like it was the simplest thing in the world.
We helped him stand up and led him over to the couch, before we set him down mom got all, no blood on my couch! So we had to search the house for a towel. After we finally found one Inuyasha got to sit down for, a nap?
I just sat down next to him and watched him sleeping. After a while, yea, I got bored, so I turned on a movie, Shawn of the Dead. I got about half-way through before I fell asleep on something soft and mushy, a little lumpy to. I never knew the sofa was this soft.

"Kagome's so cute with him." Kagome's mother was smiling down at her daughter who was fast asleep on Inuyasha, "Get that no good demon off my granddaughter!" Her grandpa whispered to Kagome's mom. "Shh, don't wake them" Kagome snored softly and shifted on Inuyasha's shoulder, trying to find a comfortable position. She was having the worst dream…
Kikyo was laughing crazily, "Why hello, Inuyasha…" She slowly stepped toward him, "I've been wanting to talk to you so bad." She ran her fingers up his collar. Kagome was running down a never ending hallway to them, she knew anything with Kikyo was bad, real bad.
XxDreamxX
"Inuyasha!" Her voice echoed through the hall. He can't hear you! A voice taunted her as she still moved down the hall, though she didn't move. "Inuyasha!" Kikyo turned and scowled at her, "As I was saying, I wanted to talk to you…" Kikyo traced his chin with her fingers, mapping every inch. Inuyasha looked blank, almost scared.
"You think Kagome loves you Inuyasha?" His eyes darkened, "Of course." His words were dry, as if he himself, barley believed them. "I'm sorry to break it to you Inuyasha, but she feels nothing for you, not a ping of love, or guilt, in fact, I'm the only reason she spared a glance at you." His eyes widened, "That's not true."
She smiled, "Is it? Why don't you ask her?" Kagome was pulled down the hall, a strange force dragged her, she stopped in front of them, Kikyo still pressed against him. "Tell him Kagome; tell him how we made a bet of how you could make him love you." Kikyo watched Kagome with an evil smile. "I- that's not-"
Kagome was about to deny any such things, she did care for him! Tell the truth! Why do you care if he knows? Her thought was dry, suddenly she felt like the words were being dragged from her voice. "Yes, it was all a bet." He looked hurt and betrayed. She couldn't believe that she had spoken those words.
"I didn't mean that! It's that" She stuttered until she was cut short by the same cold voice. That's all… Kagome couldn't speak, her voce had shut off in her thought. She kept trying to tell him it wasn't true, even though it was.
Suddenly she was dragged back down the hallway, but she could still see Kikyo and Inuyasha clear as day. Kikyo pressed against him, "Don't worry, I never would use you for revenge." She slipped her face next to his and broke the distance between them, her cold lips held Inuyasha there, Kagome could almost feel them herself.
She shuddered with anger, 'Get your lips off of her!' She tried to say it, but it was only thoughts. She tried to run to them, smack Kikyo off or something, he was her man! It was then that Kagome knew she couldn't keep on with this stupid bet, it was mean and if Inuyasha ever found out, he would be so hurt, he would probably feel like she did when she thought Kikyo and Inuyasha were making out in the hall. She also needed to come clean, but could she dare try to tell him that? 'I don't want to lose him…' My work here is done…
XxEnd dreamxX
Kagome woke up with sweat running down her temples. Her breath was faster than usual, she tried to fluff her pillow only to find Inuyasha snoring under her, surprised she put her head on his shoulder and stared at his face. Slowly His golden eyes cracked open and looking into Kagome's own brown ones, She felt color rushing to her cheeks and looked away.
'He must think I'm creepy, just staring at him.' He smiled, and wrapped his arm around her, "It's ok…" his voice faded as he slumped back down on the arm of the couch, 'He must be really tired…' She slipped out of his arm and went to her own bed, yea he was soft, but not a real pillow.

Kagome had searched the house for a while, looking for Inuyasha, apparently he had found her gone in the middle of the night and decided to go home, and amazingly he was already healed. She'd been thinking about that dream, and coming clean. She couldn't eat breakfast, she had way to many nerves, like butterflies times 20!
She just sat there chewing her nails across from her brother. Don't let anyone tell you your life is over, be any color that you are! Step into the rush now you don't have to know now do it all before you cry… She was mentally singing those words over and over in her head.
"So how is Inuyasha? You two looked soooo cute on the couch last night!" Soto joked. (Not sure if I spelled Soto right, X.x) "Shut up Soto!" Kagome blushed, had they all just been watching them asleep on the couch? "Soto, don't pick on your sister." Soto laughed and continued to eat. "Get to school before you're late."

Kagome dreadfully walked towards Inuyasha locker, everyone at school had finally stopped making hurling sounds when she passed by. She stood at his locker and began to examine her nails, when she heard his footsteps approaching her she looked up and smiled, even though inside she was on the verge of tears.
"I had, err, fun last night." He laughed, Kagome pressed her lips into a small line, "Yea, fun." He frowned, "So what brings you here?" Kagome shrugged, "Just saying hi, you know, check up on you." "Okay…" Kagome grabbed his hand and led him down the hall, "where are we going?" Inuyasha asked looking truly puzzled.
"Some place where we can be alone." He grinned, "Can't get enough of me?" Kagome laughed, "You're starting to remind me of Miroku." Inuyasha silently let Kagome pull him down the hall. She led him into a small empty classroom. "I need to come clean on something Inuyasha…." Kagome examined the tiles on the floor, "About what?" He put his hand on her shoulder, "I, well, you see" She stuttered, "Okay" 'I'll just get it over and done with.' Kagome took a deep breath.
"You see, I, we meet because of a bet I had, with, Kikyo." Inuyasha looked blank for a minute, then Kagome went back to examining the tiles, waiting for him to blow up on her and dump her like last weeks pop band. "Ok, so you had a bet with Kikyo, about me?" Kagome blushed, "Yea, I was, supposed to get you to love my in a month…" He half smiled, "A month? That's pretty confident for a chick that's never been on a date before." She blushed even more. "I'm really really really sorry, and I didn't know how cool and fun you were, I really wish I could take it back."
Kagome was apologizing profusely. Inuyasha brought his index finger to her lips, "Shh, I don't want you to take it back, if you did we wouldn't have ever meet…" Kagome looked into his eyes, they didn't look hurt, they looked golden as ever. "You- you forgive me?" Hope filled her voice, "Of course!" He brought his face down to Kagome's and slowly brushed his lips across hers, that instant a shock went through her whole body, not bad shock, but good.
She leaned into his kiss and they didn't break apart until Kagome was out of breath from lack of air. She hurled herself at him and wrapped her arms around him, he returned her embrace, and smiled into her hair. "Hey Kagome?" "Yea?" He smiled even more, "I have to sort of go to class, I'm gonna be late…" "Okay, I'll see you later…"
