Disclaimer: No, Inuyasha doesn't belong to me. Nor Does Rainy Days by Mary J Blige.

Chapter 17- Rainy Days are fun Days!

The small apartment was mainly quiet, nothing was really to be heard except a few little things. The light thunder outside, along with the pitter-patter of the rain had woken the four in the house, but since it was mid-day, they would have woken anyway.

Inuyasha was watching the television in the living room, apparently he was bored since he wasn't watching the tv. He was just looking at it. But he soon noticed singing coming from Kagome's room. Standing up, he approached quietly not to disturb her.

"It's just those rainy days
Spend a lifetime tryin to wash away
Until the sun come out and shines again
Smile for me, smile for me
All of those rainy days
Spend ya lifetime tryin to wash away
Until the sun shines and I see your face
Smile at me, smile at me..."

She sang lightly. Opening the door with a large grin on his face, Inuyasha made sure that Kagome didn't hear him coming through. Her singing wasn't very loud, it was a little over a quiet hum, but he heard it.

"That sounds like an appropriate song for today doesn't it?" he startled her.

Kagome jumped, hearing his voice come out of nowhere. She blushed.

"Geez Inu, did you have to sneak up on me like that!"

Inuyasha smiled and wrapped his arms around her. Kagome leaned against him in comfort and smiled back at him.

"I'm not really into that music Kags, but you know, that was cool coming from you."

Kagome smirked and pushed him off.

"Oh whatever!"

"I'm serious!"

"Yeah okay."

They both laughed and embraced each other again.

"I love you Kagome." Inuyasha said quietly. Kagome stiffened, and didn't say anything back, hoping he would understand where she was with this. It wasn't easy telling someone you loved them, she respected him for saying that. She felt it there for him, of course. She had the warm fuzzy feeling that you get when you know you're in love, it was just...she wasn't ready to say it yet.

There was a knock outside of the door and Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha, to see Ayame standing at the door with a large smirk on her face. She looked like an older sibling who had caught the younger sibling with their hand in the cookie jar. And this was one BIG cookie jar.

"Sorry to...interrupt, but Inu, telephone. Some chick." she said.

Kagome's face turned slightly red, then she looked over at Inuyasha who was scrunching his face in confusion. He finally gave up on trying to figure out who would be calling him, and went to get the phone.

"Kagome...I saw you two...tell me! What's going on?" Ayame asked, still smirking.

Kagome's blush grew and she followed Inuyasha to escape the question. She went into the kitchen to get started on dinner, but a pizza box already sat there. Grumbling, she went over to the couch and clicked on the tv.

When Inuyasha finished on the phone, he plopped down on the couch next to Kagome and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Who was that?" Kagome asked, pouting.

"Oh it was Marie. I got my house. I'm going to start moving in next week." he replied.

"Oh."

Kagome smiled. She was happy for Inuyasha. When she heard a small squeal coming from Ayame's room, she figured that Koga got his house also. She found it weird that they wanted to be next door neighbors, but she wouldn't say anything about it. She giggled when she felt Inuyasha nuzzling against her neck.

"Kagome, move in with me." Inuyasha stated.

Kagome coughed. "What!"

"When I get moved in. I want you to come with me."

Kagome looked into Inuyasha's eyes to see if his was kidding around with her. She saw complete seriousness there. She silently started to panic.

"W-why?" she asked.

"So we can live together!" Inuyasha said happily.

"Inuyasha, I..."

Before Kagome could continue with what she was going to say, Inuyasha had his lips pressed to hers in a light kiss. He really wanted this didn't he? But, why was he moving so fast? They just got here a little while ago! Kagome pulled away.

"Think about Kagome. We can have a house to live in. Just the two of us. And if we ever need some friends to talk to, Ayame and koga will be right next door!"

Kagome froze. Next...door? So they planned this together. Koga and Ayame in one house, Inuyasha and Kagome in the other. Was she the only one that saw something wrong in these plans! What if they were to have a fight! Break up! Who would live where then?

"Inuyasha...No! I can't!" Kagome snapped him out of his daze.

"What?"

"No. I won't. I have so much here...and I...I don't want to move!"

Inuyasha's facial expressions were very mixed at the moment. She saw depression...then anger...along with some worry.

"But...don't you want to be together?" he asked.

"Inuyasha! Be real. What happens when we have a fight or something hmm? Who's to say this thing won't work out?"

Inuyasha face now had shock on it.

"But we won't have that problem. I love..."

"NO! Stop saying that! Don't you see it's too early for this! We've only been together for a short time! Give it a rest already! Slow down!"

Kagome stopped yelling, and regretted what she said. Sure, she wanted to say that, and get it all out, but she didn't have to throw it in his face like that. Great, now he would be mad at her.

"I-I understand" he said after a brief silence.

Kagome stood shocked at what he said.

"You aren't mad?" she asked.

"Nope. You're right. I am moving too fast. Allow me to slow it down." he said, slowing his voice as he said it, causing Kagome to laugh.

Inuyasha leaned in to kiss her as slowly as he could, smiling as she would widen her eye to get him to hurry up.

"Oh to hell with it." he whispered, then kissed her passionately.

When they broke away for air, Kagome smiled at him and turned her attention to the tv for a while, snuggling against Inuyasha.

"Kagome?"

"Hmm?"

"But will you move in with me one day? You know, after a while."

Kagome was lost in the tv, and nodded her head blankly at his question. Smiling, Inuyasha pulled her closer and watched tv with her.

"I hope that's sooner than we think." he said.

(Author's Note: I KNOW I NEVER do this! I'm sorry! I hate reading these in the middle of a dag on chapter too! But this is important! This is a time lapse to Inuyasha and Koga going back to Illinois to get their stuff ready to move ok? Ok.)

Ayame and Koga were leaned against the car, whispering softly to each other. Kagome scrunched her face up.

"Oh come on! It's not like they're going to be gone forever!"she called over.

Inuyasha laughed at her comment and drew her into a hug.

"I'll call you when we get there." he said.

"You better. I'm not going to scowl at Ayame to stop worrying over you guys, just to hear some about some fools getting in to an accident over a cup of coffee." Kagome smirked.

Inuyasha laughed again. "I'll miss you."

Kagome smiled sweetly at him.

"I'll miss you too."

They shared a short kiss before they heard Koga in his car honking the horn.

"Alright! Alright Already!" Inuyasha said before letting Kagome go.

Inuyasha slowly got in the car as Koga started the engine. Ayame walked over to Kagome and stuck an around her shoulder as the guys pulled out of the lot, all smiling. Kagome waved.

"How long is it going to take for them to get back?" Ayame asked.

"Well it'll take about three days to get there, three days to come back, and four days to pack up everything, and get a moving truck. That's what Inu said."

Ayame pouted.

"Oh well! Guess we'll just have to do some shopping and pampering!"

Kagome groaned. What ever happened to class and homework?

"So you excited about moving here?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yup. You?" Koga asked back.

"Yup."

And that was the real only conversation that the two had on their way back to Southern Brook.

Hey, guys'll be guys.

OK I know that was short, but I'm sorry. And sorry that this chapter was really, blah. But it'll get better. I have no Idea what was up when I wrote this, but it's not that bad. It gets better. I assure you my dear friends! Even I was starting to garf a little at the fluffyness. Sorry, But I HAVE to put the drama back in there soon. But not for about two more chapters, because I decided to put in fillers! Don't worry. They won't be boring and there will probably be a little drama in there anyway!

COMING IN THE NEXT CHAPTER

Chapter 18- That's What Girls do

The guys are out. Ayame drags Kagome shopping. So they get new wardrobes, you know, to catch their guys' attention! But some VERY interesting things will happen at the mall! Someone might even get arrested! DUN DUN DUN! But I'm not saying it's one of the girls. Sorry. GIRL POWER! That's what comes in this chapter. The guys will be back in the next chapter. We'll bring them all back together in chapter 20. You see what I'm doing? Good. Ok!

So til then! (Don't you get tired of that?)
