Chapter 8 – A Little Hint

Okay so this is a little shorter than the rest, but I'm so tired right now. I told a few of you that I would have a chapter for today and I hate to break promises. I hope you like. Enjoy! Oh and thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far! You're all awesome!

On the walk home from Inuyasha's first date, he was flying high. His nervousness long gone and in place was a smile a mile long. He was holding Kagome's hand like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Kagome on the other hand had butterflies in her stomach. 'Inuyasha's actually smiling! Oh Kami, what is on his mind!' Kagome was mentally freaking out. She always wanted Inuyasha to act like this with her, but in reality, it was really scary.

'You know your smiling right?'

'Keh! Fuck off! You're ruining my good mood.'

'Once again, I am you moron. I can't exactly grow legs and walk right out of your mind. Really, do you think at all?'

Inuyasha just continued to walk along side Kagome, in silence, ignoring the little voice in his head.

Kagome couldn't take it anymore. 'What is up with him?'

"Umm…Inuyasha?" said Kagome, while stopping and turning toward Inuyasha.

"Hmm…Yeah?" replied Inuyasha, also stopping and turning.

"I was just wondering why you haven't stopped smiling."

"What's the problem with smiling?"

"There's nothing wrong with smiling, it's just you smiling all dreamy like kind of scares me."

Inuyasha just stared at Kagome like she just grew a second head. "Keh! You don't know what you're talking about. I'm just happy that you're happy."

'And that she kissed you.'

'Why are you still here?'

'No legs remember?'

'Shut up!'

"Alright then," said Kagome, who continued to walk, with Inuyasha right beside her. "So anyways, what's my next present going to be?" asked Kagome innocently.

"You're a nosey wench, you know that," replied Inuyasha, returning to his normal self. He stopped and looked at Kagome again. "You have to wait until next week on your actual birthday."

"Oh come on! I just want a little hint, please!" pleaded Kagome.

"Give it a rest will you! If I give you even a little hint, it'll give it away."

'You have no idea what you're getting her, do you?'

'Keh! She doesn't have to know that.'

'Well give her something to throw her off.'

'But what?'

"Inuyasha?" Kagome was waving her hand in front of a spaced out Inuyasha.

"What?"

"So am I getting a hint or what?"

"Maybe. I'll decide when we get to your house," said Inuyasha, who started walking again, dragging Kagome behind.

"Come on Inuyasha. Can't I have it now?" whined Kagome, who had caught up with Inuyasha.

"You want it out in the open?" questioned Inuyasha sceptically.

"Why wouldn't I? Inuyasha what do you have planned?" Kagome wasn't so sure she wanted her hint anymore.

"Well you asked and since I'm in such a good mood, I plan to give you that hint," said Inuyasha grinning.

'Okay, mister I'm your conscious, what am I giving her as a hint?'

'Well are you giving her an actual thing or something like her rubbing your ears again?'

'A thing.'

'Okay simple. Give her a kiss.'

Inuyasha instantly paled and his grin disappeared. He knew it was the only thing he had, but Kagome was expecting it right there and now.

"Inuyasha? Are you okay? You don't look so good," said Kagome, growing quite concerned for her hanyou companion. "Come on. You don't have to give me a hint. Let's just get you home."

"Umm...yeah, sure."

'Coward!'

'Fuck off already.'
