Chapter 3

It's OK

Inuyasha woke up warm. Kagome was snuggled up against his chest and Inuyasha had his arms wrapped protectively around her waist and neck. He smiled. When he first met Kagome he thought of her as a no good wench that deserved to be squashed, and quickly. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would end up like this in Kagome's bed with her. Never.

He lay there for a while before Kagome woke up. She yawned, stretched, then looked at

Inuyasha who was watching her like there was no tomorrow.

"G'mornin' puppy", she said through another yawn.

"P-puppy?", he stuttered. Why was she all of the sudden calling him puppy? It was normally just Inuyasha are half hearted jerk but never puppy. What was wrong with her?

"Yeah, puppy. What, do you think I'm crazy now or something?", she asked with that sweet look on her face.

"W-what d-do you m-mea-mean?", he asked her with fear on his face. If she knew what he was thinking he would most likely be sat to the earth's core. Yup, that would be painful, real painful.

"Oh come on Inuyasha. I can read you like a book. And besides, it was written all over your face", she said half-absentmindedly. To her it didn't really matter. She just wanted to see the look on his face but to him, well, lets just say he's a little paranoid of the consequences. He squeezed his eyes shut awaiting his punishment.

"What's wrong with you? Do your eyes hurt or something? Inuyasha, are you alri... your thinking I'm gonna punish you, aren't you? Inuyasha, answer me", she demanded.

He just shook his head like a four year old that didn't want to take cough medicine, the same look of fear on his face. "Inuyasha, open your eyes. Now". Reluctantly, he opened one eye half way to look at her but even than she could see the distrust.

"Inuyasha, I'm not going to hurt you, not at all. Don't be afraid of me. Last night you said that you didn't want me to be afraid of you, but you being afraid of me breaks my heart the same way. Come here", she said while pulling him into a reassuring hug.

He winced like he was in pain or something. He forced his mind to trust Kagome and returned the hug. Why was he so afraid? He has been with her for almost a year now and they were growing so close. What was so different about now? Was it because she always 'sat' him then acted like nothing was wrong? Or was it because he felt that she had more power over him, like when two demons, (or demon and human or whatever) mate. The female always has more dominance over the male, even before.

'Naw, that can't be it! I love Kagome an' all but not enough to make her my mate. She probably doesn't even love me in that way. Who could blame her, the way I treat her most of the time'.

When Kagome pulled away from the hug, all was silent, too silent. Inuyasha didn't trust it so he said "We should go back to my time Kagome".

"I just woke up, like, 2 seconds before you did! Why don't you give me a break! Besides, I have to get ready, and don't you want breakfast? God only knows your stomach is a black hole!"

"Uh... Kagome? I didn't say we had to go right now. I know you have to get ready. I was just sayin' that we should go back some time today".

"Uh... oh, ok, right", she said, blushing. "Sorry Inuyasha. I didn't mean to bite your head off".

"Right, I'm gonna wait downstairs or somethin'. You get dressed". And with that he left the room leaving Kagome embarrassed, stunned by his kindness instead of his usual yells and tired because she only woke up 3 minutes ago.

When Kagome came down Inuyasha was 'playing' with Buyo and the poor cat was making a very useless attempt to escape from this horrible monster. Lucky for him, Kagome said "Inuyasha, leave the cat alone", and because he was distracted Buyo had a chance to escape and he took it. When Inuyasha looked to see where his fun had ran to he saw Buyo sitting on the back of the couch licking his paw. He decided trying to catch him would be useless because the damn cat was being aware of his every move.

"Hey! Kagome! Why'd you let him escape?"

"Because, uh... imagine somebody much bigger than you came along, held you upside-down and called it fun-"

"Then I would kill 'em'"

"But what if you couldn't? What if you where in your human form?"

"Than I'd uh... damn", he muttered. Kagome smiled and continued with what she was doing. Now, what that maybe, I don't know.

A/N: I will not bother with telling you that you should give me a flame if I start to get lazy with my writing. Just send a little kick in the ass and I'll be on my way. I'm not joking.

FYI: If nobody reviewes then I won't update! Review damn-it!
