Lady Chango: This story is unusually romantic for me. I try to do romance, but if you know me, you know I'm a better comedy writer. Pitiful, I know.
Inu Yasha: Quite pitiful, considering "Beauty & the Beast" is one of your favorite movies.
Chango: (hits him over the head with a rolling pin)
Kagome: Lady Chango doesn't own Inu Yasha, but she hopes to buy the rights one day.
Chango: And for the record, "The Lion King" is my favorite Disney flick.
Kagome hummed incessantly to herself, flipping pages in a teen magazine. Those American boys were something to look at. Shippo was flouncing in the lake by Kaede's village. Miroku was off meditating. Sango was brushing Kirara. Inu Yasha was directly above her, 'napping' he'd said. But she knew perfectly well that he was wide awake, probably glaring holes into the top of her head.
"Inu Yasha?"
There was no response, but she knew he was listening with those cute doggy ears of his.
"I'm going back to my time for a bit, okay? Gotta re-up on supplies," she said coolly. Ramen, chocolate, bandages, her MP3, chocolate, and the newest issue of Tokyo Teen. And chocolate.
He leapt from the tree and was in front of her in less than a second, causing her to jump slightly. She wasn't expecting him to react so quickly.
"You're not going anywhere," he hissed.
Kagome rolled her eyes. If she had to go a day without chocolate, there was bound to be some drama. "It's just for a few days, Inu Yasha," she said with anger evident in her tone. Really, he could be so childish. "We haven't even gotten any leads to go on for days! We're just sitting here!"
"What if something happens while you're gone?" Inu Yasha pouted. "I-...we need you here." He'd almost slipped on that one. He still wouldn't admit that he couldn't sleep at night without her scent to comfort him.
Despite his words, she began walking to the well anyway. It's not like he could physically stop her. She always had the power of his 'collar' at her disposal.
"What the hell are you doing? I said you can't go!"
Annoyance reverberated through her. "God, Inu Yasha, it's not like I won't be coming back," she snapped, turning on her heel to face him. A fang overlapped his lip, and he growled slightly. Very sexy. Kagome almost forgot they were arguing, she was so caught up in his handsome face. "I'm leaving, Inu Yasha. And there is nothing you can do to stop me."
Inu Yasha looked at her incredulously. What was this brazen disrespect of his authority? He was pack leader! How dare she disobey an order...he would show her.
Kagome was pinned against the well, with Inu Yasha's hands placed on its edge, on either side of her. He was so close, their noses almost touched. His breath floated over her lips, and she thanked the gods that she'd gotten him hooked on breath mints.
"Inu Yasha," she said lowly. His breath hitched in his throat, and he realized their closeness. She put her hands on his chest and a sly smile spread across her face. Her vixenly expression caused him to tremble with desire. Her lips barely closed the distance between them, brushing his softly. "Bye." She fell backwards into the well, disappearing before Inu Yasha's head was clear enough to stop her descent. He looked over the edge of the well, but he only caught a glimpse of her catty grin before she disappeared.
Ears drooping, Inu Yasha let out a sigh and sat, his back against the well. Her behavior was unusual, but he liked it. He couldn't help but attempt to provoke her into the emotion more often, in hopes of inducing the same reaction.
