Chapter 12:

Kagome was having a rough night sleeping. She was fall asleep, and have the same nightmare, where vines wrapped around her, and held her to a wall. She screamed for Inuyasha to come help her, but all she could see was Inuyasha walking away from her before the vines let go of her, and she fell into a pit, still screaming for Inuyasha. Then she would land at hte bottom of a deep dark hole, and Inuyasha would be there. He's look at her, then look up towards the edge of the hole and see Kikyo standing there. Inuyasha would look back at Kagome, and then at Kikyo. And that was when Kagome woke up, not wanting to know who Inuyasha chose in the end.

Kagome shot up from her bed, seeing Misty already in bed and sleeping, but no Ashley. Kagome got out of bed and went downstairs to get something to drink to help her sleep. "Milk will help. Milk and cookies and a little TV." Kagome said to herself, but didn't expect to see someone else coming down the hall from where Ash's room was. She let out a gasp and started to turn around, but then felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome?" Kagome heard Inuyasha's voice.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked looking at him, and found that he looked half asleep.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was just gonna go downstairs to get something to drink." Kagome replied.

"You were crying, weren't you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Huh? No! Why would I?"

"I could smell your tears Kagome. Now why were you crying?"

"I don't know. I was just having a nightmare. No big Inuyasha." Kagome told Inuyasha, trying to reassre him, but her eyes were adjusted tot he lights and she could see that Inuyasha wasn't believing herone bit. "I'm serious!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Shh..." Inuyasha told her, pointing to the doors with people sleeping behind them. "Whatever. I was only making sure you were alright. Don't take t too seriously." He said. Then he turned around and headed down the steps..

"Now where are you going?" Kagome asked, a bit of laughter in her voice.

"To get a drink." Inuyasha told her flatly before turning around and heading back down the steps.

"Wait for me." Kagome whispered as she went to catch up to Inuyasha.

"Hurry up." Inuyasha said, but then heard Kagome trip behind him before she fell on him, and the two tumbled down the steps with amazing silence, and they landed in an awkward postion with Inuyasha on top of Kagome.

"Ow..." Kagome moaned, which kind of arroused Inuyasha. "Sorry Inuyasha."

"Yeah, maybe you should be less clumsy next time." Inuyasha remarked, still not moving. For some reason, he felt froze in the position he was in.

"Shut-up. Now get off of me you lech." Kagome told him, but he didn't move.

"Who are you calling a lech?" Inuyasha asked, not sounding happy.

"You! Did you notice the position we're in?" Kagome hissed.

"It's not my fault! You were the one who fell on me!" Inuyasha retorted.

"Yeah, but you could still get off of me!" Kagome snapped back.

"Just shut-up!" Inuyasha hissed, and surprised himself along with Kagome when he quickly leaned down and kissed Kagome passionately and forcefully.

Kagome eyes were wide. What was Inuyasha doing? Why was he kissing her? Was he seeing Kikyo instead of her or something? Not to mention where did it come from? All hell, he was kissing her, something she had so longed for, and so she kissed him back, enjoying it while it lasted. But then he pulled away and looked odwn at Kagome. "Sorry." He said quickly and got off of Kagome and helped her up.

"Yeah. Thanks." Kagome said. This was so awkward ot her now. What do they do now?

The two just stood there in silence, looking at everything but each other. Then the lights turned on, blinding both on them to reveal Ashley returning from her 'walk'.

"Hey guys. Whatare you two doing up so late?" Ashlay asked, wriggling her eyebrows, and making both of them blush. "Ah-ha." She said, then past them and started up the steps. "G'night love birds." She sang before she finished going up the steps.

"Shut-up Ashley!" Inuyasha yelled silently, then looked at Kagome as an awkward silence hung in the air once again. "Ummm... Good-night." Inuyasha said quickly before turning around and dashing up the steps quickly, leaving Kagome alone and confused.

Kagome soon shook herself out of it, and decided to think about this over the milk and cookies she had origonally planned to get. Then she would go to bed and TRY to sleep.
