Chapter 2: Rainy day

As Kagome watched the rain pour harder and the ditch before her become more flooded she stood there in disbelief. How was she going to get across now?

"Well, surf's up!" said a sarcastic Kagome.

"Hey! Need to get across the Atlantic Ocean?"

When she heard the voice she turned around and saw him. She had to have been asleep because those are the only times nightmares happen. There he was soaking wet, and of course, without an umbrella, walking up to her looking ever more handsome than before.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was thinking about getting across the ocean and getting some food, not that it's any of your business Inuyasha!"

"Hey…I was just trying to make conversation. It seems we have the same goal."

"Oh really…You know a way to get across all this water?"

"Well, I know one way."

Inuyasha gave the most devilish smirk to Kagome and with one swoop had her in his arms and walking across the water within two seconds.

"Hey! What are you-Put me down now!"

"What? You wanna go swimming?"

"No...But I didn't need your help!"

"Consider it a favor."

"I don't want anything from you!"

"Ow!...Oh no! I think my muscles are cramping up! I'll have to put you down!" said Inuyasha playfully about to drop Kagome into the water.

"No no! Let's not be hasty!"

"Well, you gonna stop complaining?"

"Yes, keep going."

Nodding his head Inuyasha continued walking and Kagome covered them with her umbrella the whole way.

I can't believe him! Of all the nerve…He picks me up as if I was a sack of potatoes and hauls me off with his huge muscles…I mean, extremely gorgeous muscles. No wait! I didn't mean that either, I meant…Oh it doesn't matter. I can't believe he's carrying me across the ditch. It's not like I needed him. I could have found a way across this and gotten my food too. What does he take me for…Some damsel in distress always needing some guy to protect her from everything? I just can't believe he's doing this…And I can't believe I actually…Like it.

……..

Inu Pov

I can't believe her! You'd think she'd be grateful, after all I am helping her butt across this stupid lake! Oh damn she smells good…I mean, she looks good. No wait! I didn't mean that either, I meant…Ah hell, it doesn't matter. She could atleast crack a smile or something. She looks like she wants to cry. Maybe I should say something to her? For some reason, I don't know what came over me; but I felt as if I had to protect her. The thought of her trying to get across all this water didn't sit well with me. I can't believe I'm doing this…And I can't believe I actually…Like it.

…………..

"Hey? You ok?"

"What?"

"I just wanted to know if you were ok. Something wrong with that?"

"No…And Yes I'm fine. Why do you care?"

"Cause you look like you're about to cry and honestly I don't wanna hear it!"

"You are the most horrible person I have ever met!"

"Considering the source…Thanks!"

"Oh that does it! Put me down right now! I said PUT ME DOWN!"

Kagome began hitting Inuyasha as if he were a criminal trying to kidnap her.

"Hey! Stop that, I'll lose my-"

Too late…Inuyasha and Kagome went down into the water with a SPLASH! Covered in mud and water Kagome began coughing up water and quickly tried getting up only to slip back down on her back.

"Need a hand?"

"Oh shut up and stay away from me Inuyasha!"

"Ah come on! It's just a little water!"

"Just a little water! We're soaked Inuyasha! Look at my dress! I just bought it especially for today! A white dress ruined because of mud and water that you dropped me in!"

"Well if you wouldn't have been kicking and hitting-Hey wait a minute! You're blaming me for this? You wanted to be put down anyway!"

"Yeah, but not on my ass!"

"You're unbelievable you know. I was trying to help you out!"

"And failed miserably!"

As the rain poured they gave each other fierce glares and folded their arms across their chests. For a minute all they did was stare at each other and then turn away. Inuyasha couldn't help but look back at her with concern.

…………

Inu Pov

Damn! I can't believe I lost my balance! Damn…I can't believe she looks that good wet! I mean, she looks a little cold. Why do I care whether she's cold? Well, we need to get out of this rain. She could catch a cold and why do I even care?

……….

Kag Pov

Oh great…I'm wet, I'm cold, and my dress and shoes are ruined! Oh my gosh! Is he looking me up and down? Don't tell me he's checking me out at a time like this? He looks so concerned…Why would he?

……….

"Excuse me…Do you think you could keep your perverted eyes off my body?"

"I wasn't looking at your body wench!"

"Like hell you weren't! And my name's Kagome!"

"Whatever! Now come on we have to get out of the rain!"

Inuyasha picks up Kagome and throws her over his right shoulder and then kneeling down to pick up her umbrella holding it above them with his left hand.

"Hey! Put me down Inuyasha! This could be considered kidnapping you know!"

"Oh really! And when the University Police come what are you gonna tell 'em? Oh officers that mean boy was trying to help me across the water! Book him!"

"Why you-"

"Shut up! We're here!"

Inuyasha quickly puts Kagome down under the roof of the dining hall entrance. While she was busy shaking out the water from her hair Inuyasha was shaking the umbrella. He then handed it to Kagome and opened the door for her.

"After you!" said Inuyasha with a wave of his hand.

"Listen you-Just because you helped me across doesn't mean we're friends!"

"What a relief? One less wench to worry about!"

With a look of disgust Kagome quickly went inside and rushed out of Inuyasha's sight. She wanted to get as far away from him as humanly possible. He could help but watch her walk away in a huff and gave a slight smile in her direction.

"Well…Good bye to you too Kagome." With that he walked in and went to eat at Cardinal Nest.
