Kagome smiled down at the silver head that lay in her lap. Poor Inuyasha... today's fight had been taxing on him. Well, it would have to be, for him to fall asleep on the ground... lying down, no less. Whimpering a little, he shifted, getting comfortable. Kagome giggled- it was rare that he allowed himself to be seen so vulnerable- even to her. Softly, she began to smooth his hair. It was so soft... the hanyou and miko together sighed with contentment.
Looking down, Kagome started to stroke the beautiful dog's ears that graced Inuyasha's head. They were like velvet... no, softer than velvet. And warmer... As she continued to scratch his ears, suddenly from Inuyasha came a soft whimpering sound. A smile was on his face. I think he's enjoying this. Kagome couldn't help herself- she giggled. He's like a little puppy.
Suddenly, Inuyasha shifted again, and a small, pitiful noise came from his throat. Can it be... no, no way... A purr? Kagome had to stop herself from laughing outright. A tired, yet pleased smile was on his face. Tired, and about to fall asleep herself, Kagome just smiled. He would be so embarrassed in the morning... and his ears were so soft...
