Here's Chapter three.

Chapter Three: Grow up Inuyasha

"I don't see why you insist on fighting?" Sesshomaru grumbles from the drivers seat.

"Why were you two fighting anyway?" Rin asks cocking her head.

"He called me a half-breed." Inuyasha mutters folding his arms across his chest.

"You're going to let that stupid comment bug you? Inuyasha, when are you going to grow up?" Sesshomaru says rolling his eyes.

"I'm not going to let him rip on Kagome because she hangs out with me. I was defending her." Inuyasha shouts eyes fierce.

"And I told you I didn't care what they called me. You're my best friend and I will stick by your side no matter what." I say defending myself.

"See she's a big girl. She doesn't let those little comments get the best of her. How old are you?" Sesshomaru asks glaring with icy eyes into the rearview mirror.

"Sixteen." Inuyasha replies rolling his eyes.

"Start acting like it then." Sesshomaru replies driving up the driveway.

"I'll talk to you later, Yash. Call me." I say stepping out of the car.

"Yeah. See you, Kagome." Inuyasha says closing the door.

"See you, Kagome." Rin smiles.

"Later. Thanks Sesshomaru." I say lifting my backpack up onto my shoulders with a grunt.

"No problem. Hey, can you make it up the steps with that bag?" Sesshomaru asks lifting an eyebrow.

"Sure. I think I'll be fine." I say trying to deny the pain digging into my collarbones.

"Let me help you." Inuyasha replies stepping out of the car.

"Yash, it's okay…really you don't…" I try to retaliate.

"Too late." He replies hoisting both me and the bag onto his shoulders.

"So I'll see you at home?" Sesshomaru asks from the car as it starts to pull out.

"Yeah. See you at home." Inuyasha replies with the flick of his wrists.

I watch as the car speeds out of the drive, and Inuyasha makes his way up the lengthy staircase to my house. Inuyasha doesn't make a sound as he carries both me and the two ton backpack up the red steps. A huge blush spreads from the left side of my face, to my nose, and over to the right side. Inuyasha was always doing something to help me. Wither it was carry me home or stick up for me during and after school hours.

"Why do you do this?" I ask hesitantly.

"Do what?" Inuyasha says not even breaking a sweat.

"Carry me home and stick up for me? Why do you do it?"

"We're friends aren't we? Isn't that what friends are so post to do?"

"Yeah, but you never ask for anything in return."

"You don't have to give me anything. Being with you is all I ask for. You time is enough for me."

"Oh, Yash."

Inuyasha finally stops at the top of the stairs and lowers me off from his shoulders. He gently puts the yellow bag onto the ground and then turns to me. I must have been blushing three shades redder because Inuyasha starts smirking. Frowning I raise my hands to my cheeks and feel the inferno underneath my skin. Quickly I turn from him trying to douse the flames. Inuyasha shakes his head and lets out a soft sigh. He reaches for me and pulls me to face him.

"You don't have to hide from me you know." He chuckles lightly.

"I'm not hiding! I just thought I saw something." I protest weakly.

"Yeah right." Inuyasha smiles rolling his amber-honey eyes.

"Really!" I shout stamping a foot.

"Okay. Okay. I believe you." Inuyasha replies touching my shoulder.

"Okay. Thank-you. Hey, you want to come inside for a bit?" I ask with hope in my voice.

"I'd like to, but Rin and Sesshomaru are waiting for me." He says looking back towards the stairs.

"Oh, okay." I reply lowering my head.

"Maybe tomorrow?" He asks bending his head so he can look into my face.

"Yeah. Tomorrow." I say still staring at my feet.

"Alright. Good-bye then." Inuyasha says tilting closer to my ear.

"Yash…."

Before I can even blink a soft kiss is planted on my cheek. Within seconds it's over and Inuyasha has headed back down the steps towards the road. Rushing over to the steps I call out his name, but he isn't listening. He's already gone. Lifting the bag back onto my back I grin to myself like an idiot. I had never even seen it coming. Does Inuyasha feel something for me?

You'll never find out what happens next if you don't review. I need reviews if you want another chapter. :)
