Hey people! I finally got around to typing the next chappy! yay for meeeee! lol, sorry. My friend is a bad influence. She teaches me to be hyper and stuff, lol. (No more chocolate and pop for me or her)

Okay, on with the long-awaited chapter: ...drum roll...

Chapter (I forgot): Caught in the rain and saved

Disclaimer: I have forgot to put this in every chapter. I wish I owned Inuyasha, but I don't. If I did, it would be alot better (cough. more trudged down the road to her house. It was saturday, the day after the party, and Kagome was just at Sango's house being comforted. She was really upset about what Inuyasha had done last night, and to make things worse, she had caught a cold. Sango's mother, Mayumi, had given her an american cold cure called "Neo Citran." it was supposed to cure colds, and it was working really well, even if it did taste gross. Sango was also mad about last night; although she had gotten used to Miroku's lecher ways. And not to mention the rest of the angry girls at the party. Their boyfriends were also watching Midoriko dance, and now Kagome and Sango were starting a "Ban Midoriko dancing" petition, in which most of the female population was sure to join. Kagome sneezed.

"Stupid cold." she muttered. She'd just have to tell Kouga that she was sick and couldn't go out with him that night. Wait; Kouga was also watching midoriko, and drooling! Of course!

"He can screw off then!" she yelled, louder than expected. An old guy and a man mowing his lawn looked at her oddly. Kagome blushed. She sneezed violently and coughed. Finally; home! She walked right up to the doorstep, watching the grey clouds move closer. She turned the knob. It was locked. She turned it again; still locked. She turned, and twisted, and even kicked the door (which ended in a hurt toe or two), but it still wouldn't budge.

"Great! Is the world against me this week?" she cried.

"Perfect." she muttered and sat on the porch, stranded in the rain. She had a nasty cold, hated all boys, sore toes, and was locked out of her own house. At least nothing worse could happen, right? Suddenly Kagome felt a drop of water on her nose; then another, and another, then it started raining; hard. Kagome put her head in her hands and started crying. Her tears mixed with the rainwater. A car passed, then squealed to a stop. Somebody came out and ran to her, but Kagome didn't want to look up in case it was Inuyasha.

"Are you okay?" a familiar voice asked. Kagome laughed and coughed loudly.

"Ha! Im fine! There is nothing in the world I'd rather be doing than sitting here in the freezing rain, with an awful cold, hating almost every boy in existence, plus I'm locked out of my house. no, i'm fine." The boy sighed.

"Need a lift?" he asked.

"I-oh" Kagome looked up. The only thing she saw was silver hair, and golden hazel eyes. I was Sesshomaru. She blushed.

"A ride would be much appreciated." she stuttered.

"Here." Sesshomaru said and handed Kagome his jacket. They ran together to Sesshomaru's red porsche and hopped in. It was warm. Sesshomaru turned up the heat and looked at Kagome. She smiled; God this is akward. she thought. Kagome blushed and looked at her knees, her raven hair draping over her face like a curtain. Sesshomaru looked over and smiled to himself. She was so beautiful. cold, and wet, but mainly she looked so...innocent, upset, atteactive, and she was blushing again.

"Do you have anywhere to go?" he asked. Kagome thought about it. Not Miroku, he was a pervert; not Inuyasha, she was mad at him; not Sango, because she was gone. Who did that leave?

"Nobody." she muttered, hugging sesshomaru's jacket closer to her. Her white t-shirt was sticking to her. It was wet, so that didn't help either.

"Excuse me?" sesshomaru asked. Kagome looked up, surprised.

"No." she replied slowly. She thought back to that morning, trying to rmember what her mother said.

Flashback

"Kagome, dear; you're sick!" Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed and felt her daughter's forehead. "Maybe I'll tell Kaede I can't go to lunch with her today." Kagome sneezed.

"It's okay mom. Just go .Kaede would be dissapointed. I'm going to Sango's today, I'll be just fine." she said. Mrs. higurashi sighed.

"You know how I hate leaving you when you're sick!" She handed Kagome a bowl of porridge. "Here, eat up." Kagome pushed the bowl away.

"No thanks. I think I would be sick if I ate anything." she said.

"Oh dear. I'm going to call Kaede and cancel our lunch." Mrs. Higurashi said. Kagome stood up.

"Mom! I said I'll be fine.Go to Kaede's." she insisted. Her mother looked up, surprised.

"O-okay dear, whatever you say." she said. Kagome sighed.

"Im sorry mom. I had a bad time at the end of the party last night, and I need some time alone to think." Mrs. Higurashi smiled sweetly.

"Okay then. Well, Souta and I are going to be late. I'll keep checking in on you. Keep your cellphone with you. And don't forget to leave Buyo's dishes outside for him." Kagome smiled.

"Don't worry mom. Have fun. Bye!" Kagome cried. FInally; they were gone.

End of Flashback

Kagome banged her hand against her head.

"How could I forget!" she murmered. Sesshomaru cleared his throat.

"Kagome! Hello in their! I said, do you need a place to stay?" he asked. Kagome blushed again.

"S-sorry. Yeah. Do you know anybody who would be willing to take me in?" she asked. Sesshomaru laughed. (A/N: Sesshy would never laugh, but he is a little O.C in this story...What does O.C mean? I hear it in almost every story.)

" You think I would jsut haul you off to someone? No baka. you can stay at my house if you want. Inutrasha won't be there, so you won't have to see him." Kagome laughed.

"I guess not. That would be great, thanks." she replied, less tense. Then there was silence.A while later, as they were driving past Miroku's house, Sesshomaru looked at Kagome qickly.

"you know, you blush alot." he commented. Kagome blushed, and Sesshomaru laughed again.

"I guess you're right." she giggled. A second later, "Do you have a spare T-shirt or something I could borrow?" she asked. Sesshomaru looked at her again.

"yeah. Of course." he replied. Kagome smiled.

"Thanks."

"Anytime."

" "

" "

" "

"We are here." Sesshoamru said. Kagome replied,

"I know." The pair got out of the car, ran throught the rain, wincing every step. It had begun to hail, and it hurt. They got in the house. They took off their shoes, and Sesshomaru went to the staircase.

"I'll get that sweater you wanted." he said and disappeared. Kagome just stood there, dripping wet, and sighed. It was alot warmer in the house. Sesshomaru ran back down a minute later with a navy blue sweater. "Here." and handed it to her. Kagome took it and held it up. She gasped. It was 100 pure wool and had a japanese saying stitched onto the front that said "Love is Unconditional". Kagome marveled. It was beautiful, elegant, and simple all together.

"It's beautiful!" she gasped. As she lifted the sweater up, the jacket hiding her wet shirt fell off and showed off her green bra. Sesshomaru looked, and couldn't stop staring. He never noticed it before, but Kagome was perfectly preportioned. right down to her wet toes. He didn't want to admit it, but she looked pretty damn appealing! Kagome folded the sweater and felt her shoulders for the jacket. She noticed Sesshomaru's wandering eyes, and looked down. she uttered a small 'squeak' and ran to the nearest bathroom. Was Sesshomaru just STARING at ME? she thought, frightened.
