Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…shuddaup.

A/N: All right…so here's the next chapter…hmmm…what should I say? I have no idea…that's a miracle. I know! Thanks to the readers or reading and the reviewers for reviewing! I know that I should be doing that for every chapter, but I'm too lazy for my own good. Yes, that's bad. Oh well…this chapter is filled with JEALOUSY and FLUFFINESS! How can those two be combined? Let's see!

Chapter Five: Fluffousy

"Did you guys finish the well?" Kagome asked the rest of the group urgently. Koga was the only one that managed to nod a yes. Kagome quickly gave him a peck on the cheek and ran off towards the well. Inuyasha quickly ran off after her, recovering from the shock of Kagome kissing Koga. I mean, she already admitted that she had feelings for him, and now she'd done that! What next?

"Hey! Kagome!" Inuyasha called out, quickly catching up to her. Unexpectantly, she jumped unto Inuyasha's back, causing him to stumble.

"Hey -"

"No time Inuyasha! Now go down the well!" Kagome shouted, pointing at the well that wasn't that far away. Inuyasha didn't question her, he'd heard and sensed her intense urgency…but what was she so worried about? She didn't have a test, did she?

"Kago-" Inuyasha said, but barely even spoke her name when she jumped down the well. Inuyasha looked surprised. Now, why didn't she use that speed when a demon was after them? Quickly, he jumped in after her and leapt out of the well.

"Mom! Souta!" he heard Kagome call out from inside her house. Damn. What could be that was so important that she had super speed?

"INUYASHA!" she bellowed and Inuyasha jumped. He was getting ready to jump back into the well, but it seemed that Kagome needed him for more than just a ride.

"INUYASHA!" she shouted again, and Inuyasha shouted back.

"I'M COMING!"

"WELL HURRY UP! WE'RE LATE!"

"FOR WHAT?" he shouted, but there was no answer. He ran to Kagome's house and jumped into her room, waiting. Kagome came bounding up the stairs and took a close look at him. There was grass and sticks in his hair, his clothes from yesterday were stained with dirt and grass and some red stuff – most likely blood – and his jeans were slightly torn, also covered in stains.

"Hmmm…you need to take a bath," she said, picking some sticks out of Inuyasha hair. Inuyasha whipped her hand out of his hair.

"What the hell do you mean I need to take a bath? What am I here for? What are we LATE for?" Inuyasha asked, but Kagome didn't answer and instead called for her brother, Souta.

"SOUTA! I NEED YOU TO TAKE A BATH WITH INUYASHA!" Kagome called out, and in record time Souta was up and ready in the bathroom, awaiting Inuyasha.

"Come on Inuyasha," she said, dragging him out of her door.

"NO! IT'S TOO HOT!" Inuyasha cried out, his claws scrapping on the floor. Kagome let him go, too tired to pull him anymore. He was HEAVY!

"Inuyasha! Please! I really need you to do this for me!" she cried out, her eyes begging. Inuyasha sighed heavily.

"FINE!" he said, and Kagome seemed to have turned super happy and Inuyasha felt relieve. Finally, he finally got some kind of response from her, and it was only meant for him.

"I need your clothes too," Kagome said and Inuyasha took of his shirt. He was about to take off his pants when Kagome stopped him.

"Don't take them off here! Do it in the bathroom!" she shrieked pushing him through the door and sliding it closed. Soon enough Inuyasha had them off…but what was he supposed to do with them now?

"What now?" he asked and Kagome slightly opened the sliding door, only letting her hand in. She had her eyes covered on the other side. Inuyasha handed them over, wondering what he would do now. Almost as if by reading her mind, Kagome told him to wait for Souta.

"Keh," he answered but did as he was told. Kagome walked off with his clothes and ran downstairs to the laundry room. She could hear Souta running off to the bathroom and from there she heard the sounds of water running.

"MOM!" Kagome cried out looking around for her.

"In here Kagome!" her mom called out from the kitchen, chopping up some vegetables.

"Mom, can I wash these? And can I borrow a shirt from dad's?" Kagome asked. Kagome's mom smiled and nodded.

"Of course Kagome…but be careful trying to get your father's clothes," her mom said and Kagome ran off. She turned on the washer and put the jeans in along with some others. She wouldn't let just one pair of pants get washed. It'd be a waste of water.

Then, she ran off towards the shed. It was behind their house and in it they kept everything. She grabbed one of the ladders and climbed all the way to the top…but she couldn't reach the box labeled 'dad's clothes'.

"Come on…Just a little…more," Kagome struggled to get the box, barely even touching it with her fingertips.

"Come on…" she said and then touched the edge. "GOT IT!" she cried out in triumph. Unfortunately that wasn't the only thing that she'd gotten.

"AAAHHHHHH!" she cried out, flying backwards as dozens of boxes flew down at her. She was about to hit the cold, hard, deadly floor when she felt someone hold her, stopping her from falling. She opened her eyes to see that it was Inuyasha.

"Thanks Inuyasha…" she said softly and got up. It was then that she realized something.

"AAAAHHHH!" she screeched and turned around. "Just what do you think you're doing!" she shouted at Inuyasha who had apparently ran after her in the middle of a bath.

"Savin' your butt!" Inuyasha shouted back. First Kagome makes him take a 'bath' and just as he's about to run off from the boiling water Kagome cries out so what does he do? Out of the kindness of his heart, he saves her, and what does she do? BLOWS HIS EARS OFF!

"Well you could have done it WITH SOME CLOTHES ON!" Kagome shouted. Suddenly realizing that Inuyasha was right in the doorway of the shed she maneuvered herself around him.

"Just what are you doing now?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome shut the door.

"I'm makin' sure that no one else will see you. How am I going to explain this to anyone?" Kagome asked herself and then she started to look through a box and retrieved some jeans and boxers.

"Here," she said throwing them at him, "wear these for now," she said and heard some rustling around. When she looked back, after the rustling had stopped, Inuyasha glared at her.

"What?" he asked, his arms crossed over his bare chest.

"N-nothing," Kagome said, regaining herself, "help me out with the boxes," she said and Inuyasha merely huffed but got down and helped. Their hands brushed against each other's as they both tried to pick up the same box but they quickly looked away. There was a light blush across their faces.

Kagome sighed and started organizing the boxes together. Inuyasha looked at her. Her hair swished gently as she carefully piled the boxes on top of one another on a lower shelf giving her a glimpse of Inuyasha. He was leaning on the wall and watching her…it was kind of creeping her out.

"Inuyasha…"

"What?"

"Ummm…aren't you supposed to be with Souta?" Kagome asked, the first thing that popped into her head.

"So?"

"Well…"

"Spit it out!"

"Could you stop watching me?"

"I can do whatever I want."

"Not when you're here."

"So."

-sighs- "Can you just go?"

"No."

"Inuyasha…go."

"No.

"INUYASHA!"

"NO!"

"SIT!"

"AAAGGHHHH!"

"AAAAHHHHH!" apparently, it wasn't exactly the smartest thing to 'sit' Inuyasha when they were in such a small space. He ended up on top of her and she below him; her back on his chest and their heads had conked together when landing. Inuyasha tried to rub his head only to realize that his hands were stuck under Kagome's stomach. This was great. See, this was the reason why he didn't go around saving people, it was too much trouble.

"Inuyasha…"

"What?"

"Could you get off? You are heavy."

"Keh! Like you're any lighter!"

"Inuyasha…"

"You can't sit me here Kagome."

"Well when you get off I'm going to sit y-" their bodies smashed against each other, causing another agonizing head conk.

"OOOWWW!" they said in unison, and struggled to move. They couldn't.

"Smart move Ka-go-me!" Inuyasha shouted, his voice ringing in Kagome's ears.

"Well it isn't my fault that whenever I even mention the word you go down!"

"YES IT IS!"

"NO IT ISN'T!"

"YES IT IS!"

"NO IT ISN'T!"

"YES IT-"

"STOP IT! Look Inuyasha, we NEED to find a way to get out of this. We're already late and I didn't need this to keep more time away from it."

"And what exactly is IT Kagome?"

"-sighs- We promised to come to the festival didn't we?"

"So."

"Inuyasha…"

"What?"

"GET OFF!"

"MAKE ME!" Kagome sighed again. Inuyasha wasn't in the mood to follow orders and what was worse was that she couldn't sit him or else she'd lose her head next time. Great. How were they going to get out of this?

"Inuyasha…" Kagome said, this time using a gentler tone. If the usual way couldn't work, she'd have to try it the 'Shippo's Way' only, with a twist.

"What?" Inuyasha asked, his ears perking up at her tone. Kagome never talked like that…so what now?

"Inuyasha…could you please get off? What if someone walks in on us Inuyasha? Look at you…and look at me…and look at how we're positioned," she said and Inuyasha's eyes drifted as she spoke. His eyes widened as he realized what she was saying. If ANYONE walked in on them, they'd think they were in Miroku's dreams or something. He shifted around.

"I can't move."

"Why not?"

"Because my arms are under you."

"Oh…well I can't move 'cuz you're heavy."

"SO -"

"Hey, I have an idea."

"What?"

"Lift yourself up as far as you can." Kagome said and Inuyasha did. When he did it, she lifted herself up and his arms were removed from under her.

"Okay…now I'm going back down, can you stand?"

"I can sit."

"Alright," Kagome said and she felt Inuyasha's weight disappear from atop her. She then flipped herself over and put her knees under her. She faced Inuyasha and met his gaze. She turned away from the warm golden eyes, unable to stand their strong and loving look. She wasn't used to Inuyasha looking at her that way, and as ready as she was to believe that he really loved her, her mind kept that thought back. He had Kikyo and she knew it. Point blank.

"Can you stand now?" she asked him and he did, then when he was up he pulled her up by her hand and then held her close.

"Inuyasha…" she said, her voice slightly above a whisper, her hands on his bare chest the only thing keeping them apart.

"What now?" he murmured. Kagome looked up at him and he stared at those blue eyes. The eyes that were filled with so many emotions, that held the warmth he loved and cherished…there was no one else but her.

"Inuyasha we need to go," she whispered urgently, tearing her eyes away from his and instead looked at his neck.

"Why?" he murmured, inching her closer unconsciously. He didn't notice, but Kagome sure as hell did.

"Inuyasha! Stop!" she said, but her body refused to make a move as he inched closer. Looking up getting ready to yell at him, Kagome was once again caught in those eyes. The eyes that held the warmth and love…The eyes that seemed to shine with happiness at that moment…those eyes…

Are the same ones he looked at Kikyo with.

The thought struck her hard and cold, knocking her into her senses. She pushed Inuyasha off with amazing strength and burst out of the shed, a mental picture of he and Kikyo being together flaring in her mind. She ran back to her house and sprinted up the stairs, running up to her room.

Other pictures formed into her mind, the thought of how she and Sesshoumaru were smiling at each other…how she kissed Kouga on the cheek as a thank you…about what had just happened with Inuyasha…She didn't need this right now. What was wrong with him? With her? With EVERYONE?

Inuyasha just stood there stunned. He finally had her all to herself and she pushes him off with more force than a human should be capable of. Was it because she was finally realizing what a disgrace it was to be with a hanyou? Did she really do it because of that?

His thoughts flashed back to how she and Sesshoumaru looked at each other when he was holding her hand…how she had kissed Kouga…and now with him…that was the only time when she had ever pushed anyone away. With just him. And it was because he was a hanyou while they were full-blooded demons.

'Fine then.' Inuyasha thought with smugness, though his heart wrenched with panic and fear at the thought of losing her.

'If that's the way she wants it, then congratulations Kagome, you don't have to be ashamed anymore,' he thought as he darted towards the shrine that contained the well. She had made her statement loud and clear. She didn't want him, she wanted a demon. And with that thought, he jumped down the well, thinking that she didn't have to worry about him anymore. He'd made up his mind.

He was going to visit Kikyo, and go to hell with her.

A/N: I know, I know…most of you are probably really mad at me right now…but I've joined soccer and the only reason why I'm able to post this up now is cuz today is a SATURDAY! And yet I'm busy on Sunday's now too…so I basically only have Saturdays to work on this, what with the advanced classes, dying in soccer, dying with soccer because I have gym every other day where I have to run basically 2 miles. Dying.

Lolz! BUT that does not mean that I will stop. It just means that this'll take longer. Oh, and I'm having another Inu thingy come out soon! It's called 'Haunted' or at least, it is right now...anyway, be on the look out for that cuz it's my first M piece EVER and I think I did pretty good. Oh, and in the beginning yes it's dark…but then it gets happy, I swear!

Anyway, enough about me and time for the story. I'll update as soon as I can! BYE!
