"INUYASHA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Kagome was furious.

"No! Kagome! It wasn't me, I swear! Inuyasha retortred, trying to clear his name of the awful mess that was in front of them.

"You can be such an idiot! There is no doubt that it was you! What were you even looking for!" Kagome began to scream louder at the frantic hanyou trying to think of some plan to escape.

"No, Kagome, listen, it was-""YOU!" Kagome grasped Inuyasha's hair, pulling him down to her level.

"You. ARE. Going. To. Clean. This. Up." Kagome stated, emphasizing on each word.

"Ow! Wench! Let me go!" Inuyasha began to struggle, but was getting nowhere. For once he gave up.

"Fine! I'll clean this up, but just know that it wasn't me!" Inuyasha bore one of his fangs, trying to put on the Tough-Guy look.

"You stick that fang back in your mouth and hurry up!" Kagome released her death grip on his hair and stormed out of the hut.


Inuyasha cracked his neck, then started looking around the hut. Kagome's backpack was torn open, and all of her belongings were spread out everywhere. Clothes on one side, food on the other, and some other random objects in between. Inuyasha bent down and picked up a book. He sniffed it, then threw it back on the ground

"Stupid modern toys. Why do I have to clean this up anyways. I'm outta here."

Inuyasha began to walk out the hut and go sulk in a tree. Inuyasha stepped out of the hut and walked five feet before abruptley stopping. He sniffed the air. He didn't dare make any move. He just stood there, and waited for "it" to say something.

"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha slowly but surely turned. There, leaning on the door, appearing to be waiting for something, was Kagome. Inuyasha didn't speak. Kagome had her arms crossed, and was leaning on the hut, one foot balancing, and the other pushing on the wall. Kagome's glare was icy, and it was continuously boreing through his amber eyes.

"Inuyasha" Kagome took graceful steps as she slowly approached Inuyasha. He continued to stand still, not daring to piss off the already furious schoolgirl. Kagome was eventually in front of him. Her vicious stare evolved into a sweet smile. Inuyasha's brow twitched. Kagome slowly stood on the tip of her toes until her face was inches from his. Not only was Inuyasha a beet shade of red, but he was sure there was a tinge of pink on Kagome's face too. Kagome's hand slowly rose to his face, to gently grasp a small section of his hair. Kagome started to get closer, if possible, until she was so close that if Inuyasha made one slight move, their lips would brush together. Kagome was now a darker shade of red, and Inuyasha was not only a mixture of one hundred shades of red, but he was also confused.

'One moment she is yelling atme, then the next she is trying to kiss me? What in the hells is going on?'

Kagome's smile got wider, until she was in a full blown grin. Inuyasha now had both of his brows twitching. Kagome opened her mouth to say something.

"Inuyasha..." she whispered, barely audible to his ears.

"Ka..Kagome?" Inuyasha was so very confused.

"Inuyasha...you..." Kagome started as she scanned Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha noticed this and turned a deeper, darker shade of red. Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off.

"Inuyasha...you...you better get back inside before I s-i-t you into oblivion. That, young Inuyasha, is something i'm not afraid to do. You have to the count of five before I start. Ready...set...go...one..." Kagome whispered, starting her countdown, all the while smiling while watching as Inuyasha's eyes grew larger as she spoke.

"Two" Kagome was still inches from his face, and Inuyasha didn't know whether to take a run for it, and most likely develop a new back problem from all the 'sits' he would get, or do what the crazy woman says and get back inside.

"Three" Kagome starting examining her nails, basically leaning against Inuyasha with her head resting on his shoulder. Inuyasha was still staring straight forward, all the while contemplating the situation in his head.

"Four" Kagome glanced up at Inuyasha, noticing a bead of sweat roll down the side of his face.

"Fi-" Inuyasha leaped to the hut, leaving Kagome to stumble from the sudden movements.


Inuyasha gracefully landed at the door of the hut and ran in. He stopped when inside, then fell down on one knee.

"Stupid wench" Inuyasha continued to mumble incoherent words about the girl outside. Meanwhile, Kagome was staring at the hut.

"Good boy" she whispered, and went to the nearest tree to sit under.

"That'll teach him to mess around with my junk...hmm...my junk...it really isn't a big deal since it all is just junk...but it's Kaede's hut...she would want it clean...and-" Kagome continued to talk to herself, before a silver-haired half demon came across her mind.

'I can't believe I was so bold to do something. I wouldn't be surprised if I was the first one torun.'

Kagome chuckled lightly to herself.

'In a way, that was fun. I hope he's not too mad about it. I wasn't going to sit him THAT much. Just enough so he would go back inside.'

Kagome's gaze arose to the tree tops.

'We don't get to have very much fun, with Naraku having advantage with the jewel and all.'

Kagome's eyes saddened softly.

'I think we all need a break. We just got back today, and Inuyasha is most likely going to want to leave again tomorrow. Maybe I can change his mind so we can stay and rest for a while, maybe even two or three days...'

Kagome continued to brainstorm ideas-either it being how to get Inuyasha to let them have a break, or what to do if he LETS them have a break.


Back in the hut, Inuyasha had picked up a few items and shoved them into the enormous yellow bag. Inuyasha began to think.

'I can't believe Kagome did that. It was so unlike her.'

Inuyasha had a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

'Kagome, a futuristic girl- not to mention a human, can bring the great Inuyasha down on one knee. Howawkward.'

Inuyasha continued to pick up objects and put them in the bag.

'Well, at least starting tomorrow we can go jewel hunting.'

Though Inuyasha didn't want to admit it, the little "argument" he and Kagome went through not too long ago was actually...fun.

'Well, I know Kagome had fun. She doesn't get to boss me around too often. But I just let her. After the bad day she had a while ago, I've been nicer. Hell, I've been too nice! I need to get back on track!'

Inuyasha put on a triumphant smile while he finished up cleaning the mess.

'By the way, where is that runt?'Inuyasha stood up after his last item was put in the back.


He walked outside to see Kagome sitting underneath a tree. She sensed him, and turned to see him. He glared at her. She smiled back. Inuyasha started to sniff the air, taking a few steps every now and then.

'I wonder what he's looking for?' Kagome thought. Inuyasha suddenly perked his head up.

"Found ya" and with that, he bound into the forest. Kagome stared. And stared. And kept staring. Finally she turned back around and shut her eyes.

'Itdoesn't have anything to do with me, so i'll just ignore it.'

It was only about two minutes later that Kagome heard a quiet scream, until it continued to get closer and closer. Kagome stood up. Something wasn't right. Was it a demon? Was some demon chasing after an innocent soul? Kagome took a few steps forward, as the screaming appeared to be coming right in her direction. Kagome cautiously took a step back, preparing to run if needed.

"AHHHHHHHHH SOMEONE HELP ME!" Kagome's brow raised up.

'That voice...is that...oh no.'

Kagome braced herself for what was coming. Then out of the forest, faster than Kagome could follow, a small demon ran straight towards her. Kagome closed her eyes.

"KAGOME!" She squinted one eye open, but soon was hit back and fell hard on her bottom.

"INUYASHAAAA!" Kagome yelled. In Kagome's arms, a terrified Shippo was shaking.

"It was Inuyasha! He tried to hurt me! Kagome, sit him!" Shippo looked at Kagome with pleading eyes. Inuyasha soon flew out of the forest and landed in front of Kagome and Shippo. Kagome regained her posture and stood up, cradling Shippo.

"Inuyasha! What were you thinking?" Inuyasha knew what was coming. A new argument was brewing, and fast. "I was giving the little runt what he deserved!" Inuyasha retorted.

"And that would be?" Kagome yelled back, become very frustrated once again with the half demon standing a few feet away from her.

"He destroyed your backpack, then made it look like I did it. That runt should have cleaned it up, not me!" Inuyasha was now trying to get Kagome to believe him.

"INUYASHA! HOW COULD YOU! First, you completely destroy not only my backpack, but Kaede's hut as well, then you go and blame it on a little kid who wouldn't hurt a fly?" Kagome put Shippo on the ground, and walked over to where Inuyasha was standing. Shippo watched as, what he thinks are his "adoptive parents" once again bicker at one another. Shippo calmly stood and took one last look at the insults flying, before turning around so his back was facing the two. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a chocolate bar.

"Hehe, as long as I have my chocolate, I don't care who gets blamed!" And with that, Shippo jumped into a nearby tree, listening to the yelling, and eating a delicious chocolate bar, laughing at Inuyasha, knowing that Inuyasha is getting in trouble for Shippo's wrong doings.

"Mmm, life is sweet...and so is this chocolate! Good choice Kagome!"
