But I don't know if I'd be able to do the little creepy person thing cause I might start having nightmares and then get shipped of to some sort of mental institute, which means that I would never get the story finish, sadly icing sugar and creepy people can't always get the job done.

Santa's Little Helper
Chapter 6: Big Softy
By WintersBlaze
&
Kagome came to the door of the shrine. Holding the trembling boy, she pushed him gently inside with her hand.
"Mama!" Kagome led Inuyasha over to the couch and sat down him. "My friend needs help, can he spend the night?"
Kagome's mother rushed out to look at the boy's condition. "Oh that poor dear, of course he may spend the night."
"Thank you, Mama."
Kagome turned her attention back to Inuyasha. His was stoic, showing no emotion. His golden eyes were currently fixated on the ground, watching intently, as thought there was tap-dancing pickles with straw hats. Who knows, maybe in Inuyasha's mind there was.
Waving an outstretched hand in front of his face she sighed as his eyes still remained with a glossy, distant look.
Softly taking by the arms she helped him stand up and led him up the stairs, slowly to her room.
Taking 5 minutes to step up the stairs she led him to the black futon her mother had set up. She laid him down and he fell into a light sleep immediately. Leaving his side to get a blanket, he outstretched his arms towards Kagome and whimpered.
Kagome smiled softly and allowed him once more to take her hand. As Inuyasha got a firm hold on Kagome, he yanked, successfully pulling her to him and holding her to his chest. Kagome let out a small cry of surprise. She froze and went stiff in his arms, a heated blush colored her face. Did his chest always look this good? Kagome, if possible, blushed. She shouldn't be thinking these things. Not when her friends had some serious mental issues at the moment.
Trying to wiggle out of his grasp it only caused the boy to whine and pull Kagome tighter. Kagome looked up at his face and bandaged nose, as she had already taken him to the hospital. Giving up she sunk against him going limp.
"Your nothing but a big softy are you?" she questioned softly, with something in-between a smile and a frown on her face.
A red cap remained perched on his head. Perhaps it would be more comfortable if she took it off. Reaching up, she gently took it off to reveal, puppy ears. She gasped and reached up to touch them. Is this why he would never take off his hat? Because he was a half demon? Taking a slender finger she moved his bangs out of his eyes.
"Well, I guess I'm not getting away from you anything time soon, hey?"
As if to answer her question and mock her, Inuyasha only strengthened his grip on her. With one last sigh she closed her eyes and the sound of Inuyasha's heartbeat lulled her to sleep.

Inuyasha's eyes slowly opened, unfocused and heavy. He was holding something, warm in his arms. Whatever it was it felt right, and he didn't want it to go away. The unusually warm bundle stirred in his arms. His senses returned quickly and he froze. Traveling his gaze downward, he met Kagome's angelic face. A deep blush flushed his face and he took a sharp intake of breath. He had one arm securely around her waist and another arm around her shoulders, holding her in place. Her arms were settled loosely against his chest.
Taking a clawed hand, he moved her bangs to the side, then pushed his bangs out of his face, touching his ears as he passed them. Wait a second…Ears? Where was his hat? It sat innocently on the right side of him and he snatched it up and put it on his head.
Does that mean she saw what he really was? Dammit! He didn't want her finding out that he was a half demon! Nobody else accepted him for what he was, why should she?
Unknown to him, Kagome started to awake next to him. Her wide brown eyes opened revealing concerned eyes at the hanyou.
"Inuyasha?"
Surprised his head shot up to her. "Kagome?" He scrambled up from the bed to stand next to it. "So, what do you think of me now?" he questioned bitterly.
Kagome gave a curious stare. "I don't know what you mean?"
"I mean these!" He ripped off his red cap to show her the two furry appendages. "I'm a half demon!"
"So?" came the soft answer from Kagome.
"Ha! I knew it! Your just like- wait, what did you say?" Inuyasha sputtered obviously expecting a different answer.
"I wouldn't have to any other way than the way you are." Kagome smiled. "And besides, I really like the ears."
Inuyasha stared dumfounded at Kagome. She doesn't mind that I'm a half demon? He rushed forward to her and took her in a binding hug.
"Thank you…" he whispered.
Kagome stood there startled with a blush on her face but hugged him back. "Anytime."
Pulling away hesitatingly, Inuyasha looked at the clock, which read, 10:14 am.
He lowered his head to hide a slight blush on his face. "Come on, we should be getting to work."
"I don't think so" she replied.
"Huh?"
"Mother called us in sick today." Kagome grinned cheerfully. "She said that you could use a day off, so I'm taking you somewhere!"
Inuyasha smiled and raised his eyebrows. "Who's filling in for me?"
Kagome grinned evilly. "Miroku."
"Are you serious?" Inuyasha snorted. "He couldn't even baby-sit a candy bar if he tried."
Throwing her head back, Kagome let out a light airy laugh, which made Inuyasha's heart soar.
"So, are you ready to go?" Kagome asked grabbing two jackets off the floor and tossing one to Inuyasha.
As Kagome walked out of the room, Inuyasha followed "So, where are we going?"
Turning back to him, Kagome grinned. "Now, that's a surprise."
Kagome turned away and Inuyasha grinned slightly at her.
She accepted him for what he was and who he was, and that made him the happiest little hanyou in the world.
