I rewrote everything so much.I'm still not completely satisfied...But it's enough..I didn't want to keep everyone waiting tooo long..SO HERE IT IS!...And it will probably be a while before I update again..BUT I WILL!...sigh...And I gave up on the whole fanart for it...to lazy lol...I tried though!
-------------------------------
Gasp."Inu...Inuyahsa"she Whispered.
He was standing there staring at her.With sadness,and guilt showing in his eyes.
"Kagome"
It was all he said.Then they just stared at each other, and stared,and stared.Kagome felt a sweat drop roll down her face.
'Okay...He's not leaving for once.But I still can't find the words.'
"Kagome" he said again.A little louder this time."I smelled your blood and I was worried."
She took a sharp intake of breath.
'He was worried about me?'
He was about to take a step froward, but then stop. He stared at the ground. Then He exhaled slowly, and walked towards her.
Kagome stared at him when he was right in front of her. He lowered himself to her level stared at her for a moment. Then he reached out his hand towards her's.
"Here Kagome, you should take care of these. They will get worse if you don't." he said quietly.
He gently took her hand. She flinched at his touch. Then a look of guilt and sadness came onto his face.
"Look what I've done to you.I can't even touch you without you being scared...I'm a monster." he said quietly. He let go of her hand, and was staring at the ground.
Kagome just stared in confusion. 'He thinks it's his fault? I didn't want that to happen. It was all mine.'
"Inuyasha..."she started to say. But he shook his head.
"It's all my fault. I lost control. And I took it out on you.There is no excuses for it." he said still staring at the ground.
"Inuyasha...dont' say that it was more my fault then anybody's." she said quietly. She drew her face closer to his. He looked up and looked her into her eyes. "Don't blame yourself. I wasn't thinking. I..." she said still staring at him. But she was a lost of words with him staring at her like that.
"Kagome I don't want this anymore. No more avoiding eachother.I hate it. So if you still don't want to leave me-..."he said slighty sadly.
Kagome stared at him in disbelief."Inuyasha I don't want to leave you! I made you a promise, and I intend to keep it. I'll never leave you."
He looked at her, his eyes filled with happiness,and releif.He reached his arms out shyly.He wrapped his arms around her lightly,he had a slight blush.Kagome hugged him back. He sighed and held her tighter.Kagome thought it was a bit odd that they could be so shy,and embarrassed about a hug,after only a few nights ago,they where closest as two people can get.
They just stood there holding eachother.Kagome was so relaxed,she thought she could probably fall asleep.She opened her eyes,and was surprised to see that it was getting dark.They must of been here for while.Inuyasha must of noticed too cause he let go of her slowly while looking around.
"We should probably get back."he said quietly,with a hint of dissapointment.Kagome sighed,and nodded already missing his arms around her.
"So...what now?"he asked.She looked at him in confusion.
"About what?"she asked.
"Us...are...we...to-together?...Like really together?"he asked blushing.Kagome stared at him,she felt like she could scream and jump around like an idiot.But first she had to make sure about what exactly he meant.
"You mean... Like we where before?"she asked a little afraid of what the answer might be.
"I mean like really together...like before-"he stopped.Kagome bit her lip. 'Like before,I guess it was just wishful thinking.He probably doesn't want to be with me like that. He probably regrets everything that happened.'
"-like before...but more..."he finished.She stared at him as the his words sunk into her head.
"Bu-...but more?...what do you mean?"she asked.
"dammit Kagome, I mean I want to be with you!"he said frustrated at her question.Kagome felt tears swell in her eyes.'He wants to be with me?...Is this a dream...someone pintch me,or better yet punch me cause I don't think this is sinking in' she settled on using her thumb nail to scrap at her sore,bleeding fingers.She flinched at the intensity of the pain. She looked down at her hands and saw blood dripping from her fingers.'Well at least this means this is real,I think?'
"Oh shit, Kagome your hand is bleeding bad...Here." He grabbed her hands gently,and looked at her fingers blood dripping down her hand.
"Wow you really scratched the hell out of that tree didn't you?"he said with a smirk.She blushed at his words.'Yeah I guess I did. I didn't really notice that much damage when it was happening'. Then her thoughts went back to what he just said.
"Did you...Did you say you wanted to be with me?"she asked quietly.
"YES! Dammit!...Are you fucking deaf!"he said raising his voice in irritation. She jumped at his words.
"Are...Are you sure. I mean your not just saying that because we-..."she stopped, blushing.
"No I'm not saying that because we had sex!"he said it! 'Oh my gosh!'. She 'EEPED' at the word, Blushing from head to toe.He just finished wrapping her fingers.
"OI!...quit blushing. It's not like we are not going to do it again, right?"he said still holding onto her hands.She was about the color of his kimono now.
"Oh...I...well yeah...but."she couldn't find the words. He hushed her by putting his finger to her lips.
"Later,we need to get back now, before the others get to us. Cause who knows what will happen if we're alone again." he said.She blushed more,if possible at this point. He grasped one of her hands gently, paying careful attention to her wounds.
"Okay." she said quietly, while he led her out of the forest.She didn't know what was wrong with her, she thought if Inuyasha ever asked to be with her, that she would jump around, and kiss him till he bruised. But I guess she was in total shock, that it was like she had no control of her body.That she was in a dream-like stage.She just couldn't believe this was happening.
As it slowly sunk into her,as she walked hand in hand with him.She began to smile, and true happiness settled into her. She grasped his hand more tightly in hers. He turned to look at her when she did. She just smiled shyly. He smiled back at her. He stopped and starred at her. Then he slowly drew her closer to him. He leaned his head down slowly, to where they're lips barley touched.He brushed his lips onto hers,she brushed hers to his. They're breathe mixing together.She then tilted her head to his.Meeting his lips in a slow firey kiss.He wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulledher close to him,deeping the kiss. She put her arms around his neck.And they stood there in they're own little world.Body's pressed together.They're kiss was tender,and loving nothing like it was before.And Nothing around them seemed to matter but them in her passionate kiss. Until a little voice broke the silence.
"I see them!...They're--...OH MY!"
"They're wha-...WHOA!"
"Hey let me go, I wanna see!What are they doing. Let me go Miroku!"
"MEW!"
The two broke they're kiss to look over towards the bushes, to see Sango,holding a small Kirara, blushing, Miroku, with a wicked grin, holding a fighting Shippo in his arms, blocking his eyes from seeing.
They all just stood there in silence.Kagome and Inuyasha broke apart, and were both blushing now.Sango kept on opening and closing her mouth, as if trying to find words.Miroku however had plenty of them.
"My,my,my...What have we have here," he said. Smiling from ear to ear."And what were you guys doing?"he said smiling,in his oh so perverted way.
Sango slapped him on the face. "MIROKU!"she was blushing.And suddenly finding a leaf on one of the bushes to be very interesting.
"Wha--...What do you mean?"said a nervous Inuyasha.
"We weren't doing anything."said Kagome.Trying to look believable.
Miroku still had his grin,and Sango was the color of a tomato.
"HEY!...What were they doing!...LET ME GO MIROKU!...I WANNA SEE" said a still fighting Shippo.Miroku let him go,still not taking his eyes off of the two in front of them.Shippo glared at Miroku, then looked around at Inuyasha,and Kagome,who both looked emarassed about something.
"What were they doing!I don't see anything?"Shippo said looking upset.He looked at Kagome and Inuyasha again.And noticing that they were both here together."HEY!Are guys not mad at eachother anymore!"he said,smiling.
Kagome smiled at Shippo."Yes Shippo,we're not fighting anymore." she said.Shippo smiled more.
"Oh they're definitely not fighting anymore."said Miroku.They all blushed(except poor clueless Shippo). "That much is obvious." he added.Shippo looked back at Miroku in confusion."What do you mean Miroku?"he said.Miroku opened his mouth to say something, but Kagome interrupted him.
"Hey,it's getting dark we should all get back to Kaede's,and eat"she said,and grabbed Inuyasha's hand and dragged him past the others,towards the village.Shippo looked at them with more confusion.
"Hey, since when did they start holding hands?"asked Shippo.Miroku looked like he wanted to answer, but Sango glared at him,as if daring him to answer.Miroku let out a defeated sigh.And they all turned to follow.
Yes,everyone was confused on how those two patched things up.Not only that,but they seemed closer then before. Aways looking at eachother,holding hands.And when they set out,to see to a rumor about a jewel shard,Kagome,who was riding on Inuyasha's back, kept whispering in his ear,and they both giggled,and laughed at they're inside jokes.Sango who was riding on Kirara with Shippo and Miroku, looked back at the couple who were,once again,giggling about something.Miroku looked a little envious at the two,on how close they were. Shippo was just freakin'confused. He didn't understand it at all.And it didn't help that no one seemed to want to explain either.He just shrugged it off,hoping that someone eventually will tell him.
They found the village with the rumored demon with a shikon shard.It turned out to be true and, they all faced off against a giant bear demon.It was strong, but it wasn't strong enough considering the shard.They fought,and killed it so quick it was kind of a joke.Kagome picked the shard up in hopes of purifying it.She was a little worried that it wouldn't work since she wasn't really considered 'pure' anymore.She really didn't know how that all worked out.She always assumed it had something to do with virginity. But when she picked it up, it purified like it always had. She let out a sigh of relief.'Thank goodness, how was I going to explain that?'She and Inuyasha hadn't told the others that they were together yet.She wasn't sure why,they both just had a silent agreement not to tell anyone right now.It was okay with her though.It was also dangerous, if any of Inuyasha's many enemy's found out about her and how close they really were.She would be a main target for sure.They already went after her as it is!.It wasn't like they didn't trust they're friends, it's just they didn't want to many people knowing at such dangerous times.
She added the shard with the one she kept in a small bottle,that hung about her neck.'Only two' she thought sadly.Inuyasha coming over sheathing Tetsagia interrupted her thoughts.
"Did you get it?" he asked.She nodded smiling."Did...Did you purify it?" he said hinting in his voice.
"Yes, it purified like always."she said smiling.'He must of been worried about that as well.'He let out a relieved sigh.
"That's good." he said smiling back at her.Miroku who was listening to the whole thing came over to the two.
"Oh why do you seemed relieved about this Inuyasha?"he asked.With a fake innocence in his voice."Is there a reason why it wouldn't purify?" he asked again. Looking very curious,with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"No!...theres no reason. I was just asking if she purified the damn thing,that's all"Inuyasha said.The defensive tone to his voice however made Miroku want to press the matter a lil' further.
"Oh,I must have been mistaken then.It just seemed that you were concerned that it wouldn't purify.I was just merely curious as to why you might think this."he said slyly.Inuyasha looked like he wanted to pound him into the ground. But he just settled with a 'Keh'.
"Like I have to tell you every thought that runs through my head."he said and walked away towards the rejoicing villagers.
Miroku smirked, he has been onto those two since the time in the woods.Always asking questions.But they have yet to cave in.He thought if he pushed the matter they would confess, but they have yet to.He thought about a lot more,during the feast. Which the villagers perpared for the 'heros'.Inuyasha of course said no to them. But of course they all ended up staying for the night with a promised feast from the happy villagers.Even though the demon was a joke.The villagers could've destroyed it themselves. Inuyasha didn't even have to use the Wind Scar.He probbaly didn't even need to use Tetsaiga at all for the matter of how weak it was. But the villagers were 'so' grateful of them.
He sat there thinking of those two.There was just something up with them.
"Hey Kagome can you pass the rice?"asked Shippo."...Kagome?...Hey Kagome?"he asked again.Kagome jumped suddenly.
"Oh sorry Shippo I'm just so tired I must of fell asleep."she said.Smiling.'I must of fell asleep.'those words kept repeating in Miroku's mind why did they sound familiar.
"How could you fall asleep?"asked Inuyasha with an amused tone to his voice.
"Oh! dozed off is what I meant."said Kagome correcting herself.But Miroku was tied to his thoughts.'I must of fell asleep.','I must of fell asleep.','I must of fell asleep.','I must of fell asleep.'...He looked up suddenly realizing where he heard her say that before.
flash back
"Kagome,what on earth are you doing out here. You had us worried sick." Said Miroku. As he walked upto her.Kagome looked,disheveled and a little nervous. Smoothing out her clothes.Which he noticed had a few to many rips in them.Her hair was a mess,of course he thought that was from sleeping.
"I...uh...um..I went for a walk last night...and I must of fell asleep under this tree...yeah...Sorry."
end of flash back
'THATS IT' he thought.'Something definitely happened on that night betweent those two.And I am going to find out what.' he thought with a smirk.
"Say Kagome,you should go and get some rest.We wouldn't want you to go falling asleep somewhere strange again."he said.With a fake chuckle.
"Again?...Why do you say that Miroku."she said with a smile.Witha hint of worry in her eyes.
"Oh, you know why.That one time when you fell asleep in the woods under that tree...you know the one on the hill.You were gone all night, you had us all worried. But you said you went for a 'walk' and fell 'asleep' under that paticular tree...Remeber now?"he said slyly.Kagome blushed,and then quickly tried to cover it up. But Miroku caught it.
"Oh yeah...Heh...Don't want that to happen again,do we."she said with a fake smile.She glanced at Inuyahsa,who obiouvsly caught on to what was going on with her mishap of falling 'asleep'.
"Say Kagome."Miroku chimed.Clearly enjoying himself."Why did you go for a walk all the way out in the woods.With all that's going on with Naraku all the demons are more active.Clearly you wouldn't be so careless...unless someone was with you?"he asked.
She cleared her throat,and was fiddling with the hem of her skirt."What do you mean?...No one was with me."she said. Kagome was clearly a bad liar,but Miroku played along with her.
"Oh! that was really risky of you Kagome."he said with a serious tone.Shippo who was quietly lisenting to whole conversation.Jumped when he realized something.
"Hey Kagome,are you sure you didn't meet Inuyasha there that night?"he asked.Kagome turned white,and was fiddling her skirt like crazy.
"Why do you ask that Shippo?"she said smiling nervously.Shippo shrugged.
"I don't know.It's just that you guys started arguing after that night.Plus,You smelled a lot like Inuyasha when we found you.I just thought you guys met up there and started fighting or something.I'm just stating what I think,based on the evindence."he said smartly.Like he was an expert.
Kagome thought he was damn close to one.The only thing missing was...they weren't really 'fighting'.Miroku grinned.'OOH! now we're getting somewhere'he thought.
"What do you mean 'she smelled a lot like him'?"he asked acting midly curious.Putting his hand up to his chin.Trying to act like he didn't notice poor Kagome looked like she was going to trow up.And Inuyasha was just looking at Miroku like he wish he would die on the spot.
"Huh?...Oh! It's just,Inuyasha scent was all over Kagome.Like they were really near eachother.An by how strong it was,probably for most of the night."Shippo said innocently.Not realizing what everyone was thinking.Sango was blushing slightly.'Oh they probably just hugged or something...all night...YEAH they just hugged all-' even when she was trying to think about it she blushed.'oh great!Am I a perverted person to now for think such things.And about my friends no less!'she was ashamed with herself...but she still couldn't shake what her mind was coming up with.
Miroku felt like skipping.'HA! So they did see eachother that night! Now I just have to figure out what they were doing?' he snickered in his head.
"So you did see eachother.Was it like a tryst or something?"he asked slyly.They both blushed.
"We didn't plan on meeting eachother there.If that's what you're saying!"Inuyasha said.Clearly getting angry with the monk.Everbody looked up in surprise at what Inuyasha said.
"HA!So you guys where together that night. What did you do all night.Did you guy's have a big fight like Shippo said?"yelled Miroku acussingly.Standing up pointing at the two. Inuyasha stood up to intimidate. Matching the monks stature, he glared at him. Kagome was blushing and looked like she wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out.
"We did nothing that's any of your business!"yelled Inuyasha.Poking Miroku in the chest.Sango stood up and wiggled her way in between the arguing two.
"Hey, guys stop.There is no reason to fight!"she said desperately. Looking at them back and forth.She put one of her hands on Inuyasha's chest and the other on Miroku's.Trying to separate them.Kagome stood up and walked out of the room.Everyone stopped and watched as she left.
"Oh, great look what you guys did now.You upseted Kagome."said Sango,She pushed her way out of the room to follow her. Inuyasha and Miroku just stood there staring at the door.
"Look,Inuyasha,Sango's right.I'm sorry for sticking my nose where it shouldn't be.I-...was just curious I guess." Miroke bowed his head slightly."I am sorry."he said.Inuyasha just stared at him.
'KEH'"Whatever! You were just being a damn pervert. Meddling into other peoples busneiss,dont' even try and play innocent."Inuyasha said.Miroku sighed.
Sango trotted after Kagome,she was walking through the village at a steady pase.Wait? She was walking out of the village!
"Hey Kagome,where are you going!" she yelled.Kagome stopped and turned around she smiled a little smile.Then she turned around to face Sango who now caught up and facing her.
"Oh,hey Sango."she said.Still had a little smile on her face but you could tell she was upset."I just wanted to go home is all."she said.
"Listen Kagome,Miroku was just being a jerk.It was really none of his business what happend between you and Inuyasha.But don't worry about it,I think you being upset got to him and I think he'll back off now."she said.Offering a bright smile.Kagome retutned the smile this time she meant it.
"Thanks Sango."she said.
"If you still want to go home you can borrow Kirara to take you."she offered.
"Oh thanks, I think I will.I haven't been home in a while.It would be nice."she said.Sango called for Kirara.And she bounded out of the woods probably hunting.She transformed.Kagome hoped up on her waved good-bye to Sango and flew back to the well.
Sango smiled after her friend and decided to take a walk around and visited some of the villagers, who were still humbling grateful for they're 'service'.
Back at the hut.Inuyasha and Miroku sat there in silence.Miroku sighed again for the upteenth time.Sango was right he was a little guilty for making Kagome upset.And was more upset that they haven't come back yet.'Wow she must be really upset with me.''Sigh'.But he went still wansn't quite done with Inuyasha.
"Say Inuyasha?"he asked.
"What?"Inuyasha answered still pissed off tone to his voice.
"What idid/i Shippo mean by your scent was all over Kagome?"he asked Inuyasha answered him with a punch in the head.
Inuyasha sat there with Tetsaigua resting on agaist his shoulder,thinking.
Sango walked in the room a few moments later.She went walking around talking to the villagers about the villages history with other demons and other things.She was gone for about an hour.Now she was back...but no Kagome.
"Where's Kagome?"Inuyasha asked.
"She went back home.Kirara took her."Sango said calmly.Inuyasha stood up suddenly.
"She went home! Why didn't she tell me?"he yelled.
"Calm down Inuyasha.She hasn't been home in a while.She probably wants some time to herself to think."Inuyasha looked like he was going interrupt."AND!...She probably wants to see her family."she said raising her voice.Inuyasha walked out of the room fuming.
"Yeesh,that guy is so loud."said Shippo.Who was -a moment ago sleeping- until a certain hanyou yelled.
"You got that right."Sango agreed.
Inuyasha didn't go after Kagome right away.He would wait a bit, he thought to himself. He sat there for about approximately ten- minutes.Then he took off torwards Kaede's village.If he full out ran has fast has he could he would get there in twenty-minutes.So he did.
When he got there he decided to wait anthother ten-minutes.Then he was going to the well.
Kagome,was sitting on her bed in her pajamas,staring at the jewel shards around her neck.She took a bath, ate dinner and went straight to her room.And here she was staring at the jewel shards.'maybe,I should've told Inuyasha I was going home...Nah! Sango told him so it's okay,right?'she thought.She sighed and laid out on her bed.Trying to relax,but couldn't.'I should've told him myself. You know how it is when you take off and go home without telling him.He gets mad'She rolled over on her bed a few times,seeing if sleep would consume her, but it didn't.She sat up,and stared at her desk with all her books and school things.'maybe studying will make me sleepy?"she said and walked over and sat down. Then she felt guilty that sheturned to studying just to make her sleep.She stomped on the thought and opened a book.She started catching up on her history and social studys...but she steered clear of her math book, even though that's the one she 'should' be doing.
She studied for about an hour,but then got bored.She sat at her desk,her head leaning on her arms that were crossed in front of her.She stared at her pencil deep in thought.She had her window opened to the cool night air.A little wind gust blew into her room making her shiver slightly.She got up to close it and almost screamed when she saw Inuyasha sitting there on the sill.'Was he sitting here the whole time watching me!'she thought.She put her hand over chest,to try and calm her frantic heart from popping out.
"Jeez,Inuyasha you scared me half to death."she said trying to keep quiet,since everyone else in the house was sleeping."How long have you been here?"she asked curiously.He smirked.
"For about twenty minutes."he stated.Kagome sat there shocked.
"You were sitting here for twenty minutes staring at me?"she asked whispering angrily.
"Yup."he said smiply.He stood up walked over and sat on her bed.She sighed.
"And why didn't you say something?"she said sitting besides him.He just shrugged.Then he gave her a look.The kind of look that read 'Aren't-you-forgetting-something?'.
"What?"she asked stupidly knowing what he was going to say.
"'What?'...What do you mean 'What?'You took off without telling me!"he said clearly angry.
"Oh that,...Sorry."she said quietly.
"What if something happened to you!"he asked raising his voice to an almost yell.She jumped and put a hand over his mouth.
"SHHH! Everyone is sleeping.Do you want to wake everyone up?"she whispered through gritted teeth."And besides I had Kirara with me.I was safe."she said letting him go.
"'Keh!'Whatever!"he said.
"Why are you so upset?"she asked.
"I'm not upset!"he said raising his voice again.
"SHH! I told you to be quiet."she said putting a hand over his mouth again.He just glared at her.She let her hand down again.He 'Keh!'ed again and turned his head away.She sighed.'Oh great,here he goes being all dramatic.'
"Look,Inuyasha I'm sorry."she said.He turned his head and looked at her.She was giving him a puppy-eyed look.He sighed.
"Whatever."he said.In is own little way that ment'I forgive you'.Kagome smiled leaned over and kissed him on his cheek.He turned to look at her,she was blushing,but smiling.He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.She sighed into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.He wrapped his arms around her,deepening the kiss.It was much more romantic,sweet,lovingly then before.
(A.N)
They kissed allllllll night. wink wink nudge (I'm not going into detail with 'those' types of scene. I'll leave that up to you. USE YOUR IMAGINATION! YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID)
(END OF A.N)
The next morning.Kagome woke up to the sun glaring in her face from her window.She grimaced and turned away from it.And into Inuyasha...A naked Inuyasha! 'Whoa!...Oh yeah.' she thought has she remembered what happend.She smiled and snuggled into his chest.She felt him wrap his arm around her.She felt like she was going to fall asleep again.But then it hit her 'What time is it?'she whipped around suddenly to look at her clock.But she got tangled in the sheets and fell on the floor.'THUMP'
Inuyasha woke up suddenly in defense mode.He looked down at her then started laughing.She was laying on her back some the sheets tangled around her,hair all over her face.
"Heh! WOW! That was graceful of you."he said
She glared at him.He got up to put his hakama on.He grasped her arm,
and was about to help her up when they heard footsteps coming quickly up the stairs and for her room.By the time they had a chance to react it was to late.
Sota opened the door.
"Hey sis are you alright?You need to hurry up if you going to go to scho-."he stopped suddenly looking at the scene before him.Kagome laying on the floor naked,tangled in sheets.Inuyasha was crouched down beside her,holding onto her arm with no shirt on.They all didn't move in total shocked silence.
"What are you guys doing?"he asked.
Kagome scrambled to her feet grasped the sheet to her chest.Trying to act casual.
"Wha...What do you mean?"she asked.Trying to look convincing.Even though she was finding it hard to stand right since her legs were still tangled in the sheets.Inuyasha just stood there.Kagome looked at him and mouthed 'HELP ME!'.Inuyasha looked at Sota, who had a bewildered look on his face.Inuyasha wasn't' sure what to say.He was thinking about just being completely blunt with the kid and tell him why they were in this situation.but a voice interrupted all they're fratic thoughts.
"Sota!Is she alright?What was that thump?"Ms.Higurashi yelled up the stairs.They all stood there again.Looking at the door.Sota turned his head torwards the door.
"She's fine mom...And Inuyasha's here too!"he yelled back down.Inuyasha and Kagome looked at Sota.'Is he going to say anything?'They both thought.
"Oh,how wonderful.I haven't seen him in a while."Ms.Higurashi said,mostly to herself."What are they doing?"she asked.
"Well...I'm not sure, Kagome is nak-"he cut off as it hit him.Kagome thought he wasn't ithat/i dumb...for a ten year old."MOM! I THINK KAGOME AND INUYASHA WER-"he was cut off.iThis/i time by Inuyasha jumping over and covering his mouth.
"What was that dear?"Ms.Higurashi asked.
"Nothing mom,I'm fine I fell off the bed! Be down in a minute."Kagome yelled.
"Okay,dear!Be careful next time!"she said.
"Yeah!"Kagome yelled.
Kagome and Inuyasha let out a breath of releif.And they both looked at Sota with Inuyasha's hand still over his mouth.He looked at them both confused.
"Listen here kid."Inuyasha said."You will not repeat a word of this to anyone.We were sleeping,okay?"he said.Sota nodded his head franticly."When we go down stairs your going to act like this never happened okay?"he added.Sota nodded again.They let out a 'phew'.
"Remember this is a man-to-man promise.Do not repeat."Inuyasha said to him letting him go.The whole 'Man-to-man promise' thing worked perfectly.Sota smiled,and nodded.
"Yeah,man-to-man.Gotcha!"Sota said.He turned and went downstairs.Inuyasha turned to Kagome who was standing there with the sheet still to her chest, with a stunned exspression on her face.
"Wow,that was pretty slick."she said.He smirked and shrugged like it was nothing.BUt they both knew that,that was close.
They both went downstairs.Kagome felt a little nervous.But tried to remain calm,since Inuyasha seemed to be.
"Oh,Inuyasha haven't seen you in while dear."Ms.Higurashi said.Smiling away.Inuyasha just said a simple "Hello."
Sota looked fine.But he kept on looking at Kagome with a face that read 'I-Know-What-You-Were-Doing!'.His lil eyes squinted,lips pressed together.She didn't like it.
"Kagome,if your going to school you better get your stuff together. I'll pack a bit of extra lunch for you.Since you won't have time to eat now."Ms.Higurashi siad.Kagome nodded,looked at Inuyasha,and walked back upstairs.
"So,Inuyasha dear,when did you get here?"Ms.Higurashi asked.Packing Sota and Kagome's lunches.Kagome came running down the stairs,on which she was half way up anyway.Looking a little paniced.
"He JUST got here! When I woke up!"Kagome said.Everyone looked at her funny."What?"she asked franticly.TRYING to be calm, but it wasn't working.
"Oh!Isn't that nice."said Ms.Higurashi.Kagome was so thankful that her mother was so naive.
"Kagome,you better hurry you don't to be late."said Sota.Still giving her 'that' look.Kagome turned white.And stared at him ,slowly tunred around and started walking back upstairs.She got her stuff together and walked back downstairs. Inuyasha looked very calm about the whole situation.She on the other hand felt like she ws going to throw up.She's felt that way ever since this morning.And it hasn't gone away.'maybe I can call in sick?'she thought.Her mother looked at her and noticed Kagome.
"Kagome? Are you alright? You don't look so good?"her mother asked.She reached over and felt Kagome's forehead.
"You seem alright?"she said."Do you you feel good enough to go to school?"she asked.Kagome glanced at Sota who was gettin ghis stuff and was about to walk out the door.Inuyasha suddenly stood up.
"I think I'll head back.I'll come back later."he said and walked torwards the door and left.Kagome looked around it was just her Mother and Grandpa.She let out in exasperated sigh.
"I'm going to school."she said.
"Okay dear.Have a nice day!"her mother said smiling.
Kagome walked out onto the school grounds when the bell rang.'Eh! What a lousy day! I don't think I acclomplished anything!'she thought to herself.She sighed.
"Hey Kagome!"Yuka's voice yelled from behind her. She turned and her three friends Ayumi,Eri,and Yuka were there.
"Hey Kagome want to grab a bite to eat with us?"Eri asked.
"Yeah we haven't seen you in a while!"Yuka said.Ayumi just nodded her head agreeing.
"Sure."Kagome said.She hadn't acted like a normal teenager in a while. Why not? Plus she missed hanging out with her friends.She hadn't seen much of them over the past year.But they stood by her when she did them.
They walked to the local buger joint (You know which one! 'WacDnadles or whatever it's called!) They ordered food and sat down in a booth by the window.Kagome felt a little left out of they're conversations.They were going on about the latest bands,and fashion and Kagome didn't have a clue what they were talking about.She just sat there listening.
"So Kagome how's your back?"Eri asked.Kagome sat up suddenly now the attention was on her.
"My back?"Kagome know,you hurt your back a while ago.I think you grandpa said you fell down the stairs?"Yuka said.
"Oh yeah right I forgot.It's better.Clumsy me!"she said with a chuckle,trying to play along with another one of Grandpa's excuses for her disappearing.
"Kagome you really should be careful."Eri said with concern written allover her face.
"Has your guy come to visit you!"Ayumi asked.Kagome almost choked on her soda by the sudden question.
"Yeah he better of had visited her."Yuka said."I had a boyfriend once who gave me flowers when I sprang my ankle.He was nice.But he was so stupid.He was once wearing two left shoes.And I asked him if he had two left feet and he said 'no!'"Yuka lauged."So I dumped him."she added.Eri and Ayumi laughed.Kagome didn't thing it was that funny though.
"That was pretty shallow.Why didn't you give him a second chance?"Kagome asked.
"No way!"she answered.
"At least she knows when to dump a loser.Unilike you who keep going out with some bad boy.Who won't even come to visit you when your hurt or sick."Eri said.Kagome was shocked by the sudden attack.
"I never said he didn't visit me!"Kagome said.They all looked at her with shocked curious eyes.
"So he did visit you.When?"asked Yuka.
"Last night.He stayed with me all night."
"OOOOOOH."they all said.
"What?"Kagome asked.Crossing her arms.
"Did he bring you flowers?"Aymui asked.
"No."
"Did he bring you anything?"Eri asked.
"No."
"Then what did you guys do 'all night'"Yuka asked.Kagome blushed.
"We...We just talked."Kagome said.
"'Talked'?" they all said in unison.
"Yeah...Talked."said Kagome.They all looked at her questionlingy.
"If you say so."said Eri.Yuka didn't look quite convinced either.Ayumi just went with it.
"AWW! That's so cute you guys talked all night!"she said all smiley.Kagome blushed and nodded.She sighed.She hardly touched her food at all.She hadn't felt like eating at all lately.
"Hey Kagome aren't you going to eat?"asked Yuka.
"No.I don't feel really good."Kagome said.They all gasped.She looked up at them. "What?" she asked.
"Kagome you better go home. You know how sick you get.You don't want to risk getting worse."Yuka said.Kagome sighed.
"I guess."she said she got up.Waved good-bye and left.
They all sat there in a moment of silence.
"Do you really think they talked? From what she has always told us,that guys doesn't sound like the 'talking all night'type."Yuka said.
"I was thinking that too...You don't suppose they-."Eri asked.
"I don't know.You would think she would tell us."Yuka said.They both looked at Ayumi to see her opinion on the subject.She just smiled.
"I think they did talk all night."she sighed."It's so romantic."she said getting all starry eyed.Eri and Yuka just rolled there eyes.
