Okay, I'm gonna try to make Inuyasha and Kagome get a bit close, but not that much so this might be really long! Thanx for all the reviews!!!! ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Why So Nervous Inuyasha?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome shook her head at the hanyou. "Men" she mumbled under her breath. Inuyasha looked down at the human girl. "Women" he mumbled under his breath (A/N: Do you see a pattern going on here?) He sat down in between two giant roots, nestling down comfortably. He closed his eyes, and pretended to go to sleep. Kagome looked over at him. 'He is already asleep! Wow, I wish it was that easy for me to sleep.'

She leaned against the tree, but the February cold was too much for her bare legs. Kagome curled up into a ball, shivering. She was able to fall asleep, but warmth was something she was lacking. She was uncomfortable and cold, one of the worst combinations ever. Inuyasha seeing her asleep finally allowed sleep to overcome him.

~*~*~*~

Kagome shivered and woke from the cold. By the pitch blackness around her she would say it was about 1:00 A.M. She couldn't see anything except for a small bit of red near her. It looked warm, so she crawled over, half- asleep, and snuggled up against the cloth, laying her head on a strong shoulder. Comfortable and warm, Kagome fell asleep, snuggled in the warmth. (^_~)

~*~*~*~

Inuyasha's ears tweaked back and forth (cute fuzzy ears! ^_^!), waking him up from the sounds around him. He yawned silently and turned to get up when he felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked over to see the girl he had just met recently sleeping soundly on his shoulder.

Inuyasha panicked. Was he supposed to wake her from her comfortable sleep, or let her sleep and wake up by herself? He tried to calm down as his body became stiff and tense. His face was blushing, turning blood red as he looked at Kagome's silent body. She looked how comfortable. How could he get her off him without disturbing him?

His face softened. Inuyasha put an arm around her shoulder and as carefully as he could he put his arms under her legs and picked her up. He arranged some soft grass with his bare feet and then laid her down on it. Inuyasha then took off his outer red fire-rat robe-thingy and placed it over her.

Inuyasha looked back at the bed he had made for her with satisfaction and crept away to get some food, venison or some kind of meat.

~*~*~*~

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY DAUGTER IS GONE!" yelled King Higurashi (I have got no idea how to spell that! I might have spelled it right, but who knows?!) The servant remained on one knee.

"This morning she didn't come to breakfast so when Toteoka (I made that up! Weird isn't it!?) went to see if she was still sleeping she was gone, your Highness" replied the servant.

"I DON'T CARE HOW YOU FOUND OUT!" he yelled.

"Sir, some other important news. The demon we captured two days ago is gone also" the servant explained.

"THAT IS IT! HE MUST HAVE KIDNAPPED HER! I WANT SEARCH PARTIES LOOKING FOR HER NOWWWWWWW!!!!!!" yelled the furious king.

~*~*~*~

Kagome woke to the sound of crackling fire. She opened her eyes, cozy under a pile red furry stuff. She pulled herself up, her eyes half open as she began to wake up completely. She saw Inuyasha cooking something over a fire, but it smelled good. Inuyasha looked over at her and smiled, kindly.

"I see you finally woke up" he said. Kagome yawned and stretched, she looked around herself, frankly thinking she had fallen asleep a little ways from here. 'Anyways' she thought, 'This is where..oh my gosh! This is where Inuyasha was sleeping!'

"W...Weren't you sleeping here?!" she stammered. Inuyasha nodded, though a slight blush had appeared. Inuyasha turned back to cooking the meal. "But, then how did I get over here?!"

"I wouldn't mind knowing that myself" he snorted. Kagome tried to remember last night, but she was so tired that night she had forgotten what happened.

"So, do you want something to eat?"

Hearing her stomach growl she nodded. He looked at her snorted.

"I'm not gonna feed you so you better come over here and get yourself. I've already eaten while you were sleeping" he retorted.

Kagome jumped up and ran over to the food, picking up the venison and daintily picked it up, taking tiny, petite bites. Inuyasha walked over to where she had lain and put on his robe, and nodding in satisfaction.

~*~*~*~

They walked on and on and on for what seemed forever to Kagome.

Her bag she held on her back made her slow down uneasily, but she soon felt like she was gonna fall. Inuyasha turned back to the stumbling girl as she got to him and then fell onto him her head against his chest. Inuyasha blushed nervously and held her up.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Kagome looked up at him slightly and tried to hold herself up. "Yeah I'm fine" she said, but she stumbled again and fell onto Inuyasha again. "Oh crap!" she cursed then covered her mouth. It seemed having been with Inuyasha had rubbed a bit of cursing into her.

Without protest from Kagome, Inuyasha picked her up and held her while he jumped from tree to tree. Relaxing, she wrapped her hands around his neck nestled down against his chest. Inuyasha blushed, acting nervous once more. She looked up at him, her eyes soft and glowing.

"Why so nervous, Inuyasha?" she asked. Inuyasha looked down at her angrily then looked away.

"Keh" was the only reply. Kagome settled down as the ride continued. Maybe she could bear being with this rude, arrogant hanyou.

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

What did you think? I tried to make Inuyasha a bit shy with her. I've got know idea when he is gonna get more likeable, but in the next one it's probably gonna get a bit touching. Hey I'm just making this up while I go. Oh and by the way, those jokes in the 3rd on I didn't make up myself. I saw them on a tv show, even though the free willy one came from my brother! lol!
