--St. Valentine's--
"So, tell me," Inuyasha said carefully, screwing up his face, "What is this- this Varen-Va-oh, dammit. The Vatel-Van-whatever you call it." The half-demon sat on Kagome's bed, looking through her Valentine's cards with a puzzled look on his face.
Kagome spluttered a little, saying "Uh, well, it's this, this western holiday... for lovers."
"What happens then?"
Kagome smiled a little wistfully. "Well, people spend time with the one they love- they're called Valentines."
"Oh..." The look on her face wasn't missed by the hanyou. "Hey, Kagome?"
"Yes, Inuyasha?"
"Do you have a Valentine?" A little embarrassed, Inuyasha looked down at her bedspread.
"N-no," Kagome stammered, equally shy. "Not now, at least."
Satisfied, Inuyasha just smiled to himself.
