REI'S CORNER: WOW! Good job on the reviewing guys! (And gals...SORRY!) I was surprised that you actually did what I asked you to. No offense, but sometimes I say I want that much, but no one reviews, and then I HAVE to update because it's not fair to those who did review, and are waiting desperately for a new chapter. Yeah, that's me babbling. SORRY! I know I asked before, but if anyone would like to be my beta reader for this story or for Walk Behind Me, please contact me. THINK ABOUT IT, you would get to read my chapters before anyone else would, and it wouldn't be so annoying to others to find grammatical errors! So please, if you're interested. Just write in a review and I'll try to get back to you with an email, or you can reach me at paris late on AIM, ok?

I'VE HAD THIS TYPED FOR QUITE SOME TIME, RIGHT AFTER I UPDATED THE LAST ONE I HAD THIS SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT! WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WAS SCHOOL STUFF AND GUY STUFF SO FORGIVE ME NEXT TIME I WILL BE MORE ALERT WITH MY STUFF I PROMISE!

Chapter 20- Kagome's Denial and Inuyasha's Anger

"Jeez Kagome, would you stop moping around?" Ayame asked. Kagome sighed, rolling her eyes at her friend. How could she be so carefree when the guys were supposed to be back early this morning? Kagome was really worried, and Ayame wasn't exactly helping.

"I'm calling Inu." she said.

"Fine, but don't blame me if he says you're being paranoid and clingy." Ayame laughed as she exited the room.

Kagome rolled her eyes and picked up the phone and dialed Inuyasha's cell phone number. She nervously tapped her fingers against her leg as she waited for him to pick up. It rang three times before being answered. "Hello?" Kagome frowned at the voice on the phone. Sure it was Inuyasha's voice, but it was groggy, and hoarse. She asked if he was okay.

"Just fine, dandy. What makes you ask?"

"Well, you kind of sound like crap..." Kagome joked, but got no laughter. " I, um, called because you're a little late and I'm..." she faded off.

"You're what?" he asked.

"Are you almost here yet?" she changed the subject.

"Yeah, about three hours away."

"Oh..." Kagome was disappointed. She really wanted to take Inuyasha out on her surprise. But it was getting late. She would have to surprise him tomorrow. "So...what did you do yesterday?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome almost panicked. She couldn't tell him what she was doing, it would spoil the surprise. So what would she tell him?

"Well, you know, just hanging around in my pj's. I miss you. I didn't want to have any fun without you." blurted out of her mouth.

'It's a lie.' Inuyasha thought.

'But he'll understand tomorrow.' Kagome thought.

"I gotta go. See you." Inuyasha said quickly. Kagome said goodbye and they hung up.

"He's really going to love this." gushed Kagome as she walked around room. She made sure to hide the new dress she bought, along with the other things she needed for her surprise.

Now all she had to do was wait.

"That's the last the last of it." Koga announced. Inuyasha was finished off the wiring for his computer in his new house. He was so frustrated, he couldn't face Kagome yet. Not after that hideous lie. 'Does she think I'm that stupid?' he asked himself. Meanwhile, Koga had returned from the furniture store to pick up the new furniture for both houses. He had a reason to be incredibly tired. All he wanted to do now was relax with Ayame.

"I still don't see why we couldn't call. I bet they're probably ready to call the FBI or something." he said. Inuyasha didn't say anything. Koga was about to just say whatever and go over to see Ayame alone, but Inuyasha stood up. "Lets go then."

When the guys finally got there, it was already dark. Inuyasha wondered if they were going to spend the night. He sure hoped not.

When Ayame opened the door, she nearly knocked Inuyasha down in her rush to get to Koga, who was standing behind him. They all laughed as they entered the house. "Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. He was answered by a loud boom, followed by a heavy music and loud stomping. Inuyasha walked into Kagome's room, he first saw that she was, very oddly, hopping around with her eyes closed. Then he noticed that some part of her room was changed around. As quietly as he could, he walked over to the stereo and cut it off. Kagome's eyes immediately flew open and when she saw Inuyasha standing there, she squeaked and ran to him, arms open. Inuyasha reluctantly hugged her back. 'What's going on?' he wondered.

All the while, Kagome was going on with questions about how everything went. When she noticed that she wasn't getting any answers, she took a step back and noticed his face was red. "What's wrong?" she asked. But his answer was interrupted when the door opened and Koga was standing there, smirking. "We're going to the new club that opened last week. You two coming?" Kagome smiled and walked toward the door.

"That'd be great! I really want to see how it is and..." her words faded when Inuyasha's hand on her wrist stopped her. "Actually I'm really tired. Lets stay here." he said, Koga's smirk grew. Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha. Something wasn't right with him. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to see it. "Okay." she said, and Koga walked out, still smirking.

When Koga and Ayame left, ten minutes later, Inuyasha and Kagome made their way out to the living room. They were currently sitting on the couch, tv on, but neither were watching. It was an awkward silence, and Kagome was dying to know what was up.

"Okay say something...please..."

Inuyasha stared at her, annoyed. "Like what?"

Kagome frowned, "Like maybe what your problem is?"

Inuyasha looked away. He didn't want to tell her. If she didn't know what was wrong, she was an idiot. She brought this upon herself.

"It's getting late." he said. Kagome was wondering what he was thinking.

"We better get a move on." he said again.

"Where?"

"My house. Koga took the car."

Kagome sighed and grabbed her keys. She would argue, but Inuyasha didn't look like he was up for anything at the moment.

Five minutes later, after driving in complete silence besides Inuyasha speaking to give her directions every once in a while, they arrived at his house. They both got out of the car when Kagome turned it off. "Well, see you tomorrow." he said, then ran off into the house and shut the door quickly. Kagome, confused, got into the driver's seat and went home.

And that night, as both lay down to sleep, they had the same thought.

"What is going on!"
