whispers *please don't hate me*

Okay bye! =)


"Hey Kagome!" Kikyo yelled from across the room. I rolled my eyes at Eri before turning around. "I need more cups, could you go get some for me?" she smiled and then went back to setting up more refreshments at the table.

I had been dragged into helping set up this function. Kikyo had mostly controlled everything and I had turned into her lackey as I did her bidding. There was going to be a slideshow in one area, refreshments in another and then Eri, Yuka and I were there to promote more volunteer shindigs and I was nerely at the end of my rope as I found more cups and handed them to Eri.

"Okay, I'm out." I snapped. I saw her face change to shock as her mouth opened to say something. "God Eri, I'm sorry, it's not you it's just this whole thing and Kikyo and a lot of other stuff that I'll explain sometime. I just gotta go before I snap at Kikyo and make a big scene."

Eri's face changed to sympathy "Of course, go out the back door and she won't notice you leave. I'll cover for you." She hugged me.

"Thank you" I signed into her hair and then I let her go and walked to the back door. I quickly shut the door and made my way down a few stairs until a familiar voice caught my attention.

"You bailing?"

"Inu!" I felt my body warm up as I turned around and met his soft eyes.

"Want to get froyo?" He asked

"Yes, but we gotta hurry. C'mon!" He raced down the stairs two at a time and grabbed my hand and we ran a little bit.

"Okay not that fast" I was laughing.

"Well we can't get caught Kags- you're not the only one making an escape" He flashed a smile back at me and held my hand a little tighter.

We went to froyo and I watched him put some of the weirdest flavors and ingredients together. I picked with a lemon theme and mixed it with some chocolate shavings. When I got to the register he quickly came up behind me and handed the cashier his card.

"Hey" I glared at him.

"Yeah, whatever Kagome" He glared back and paid for our froyo.

I led him over to a table by the window and we peered over the street that led to campus.

"Soo" I pried

"Yeah?" He raised his eyebrows as he dug into his concoction of dessert.

"Why aren't you at the thing?" I took a bite of mine; the perfect balance of lemon and chocolate on my taste buds.

"I don't know if you have noticed but I'm not too big on group social functions. Miroku and some others can represent the team. I need don't need to be there either." He took a few more bites and then looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Why aren't you there?"

"I don't know if you noticed but I don't get along very well with the journalism people and so I'm here with you, much better use of my time."

"I see" he smirked and then ate more of his froyo.

We walked around and avoided our responsibility that was gathering at the function. We shared funny things about professors and class assignments we had had lately. We also discussed our future plans and mostly just made each other laugh as we strolled around.

"It's getting dark… do you have plans or do you want to go home?" Inu asked me. He wasn't looking at me but I noticed his faint blush on his face again.

"I don't have any plans actually" I watched him glance at me and then he cleared his throat.

"Alright" He put his hand around my wrist and pulled me along. We walked down the street in silence for a while; we were heading to his house. "Soo" He said quietly.

"What now Inu?" He wasn't holding my wrist anymore but I wanted him to hold my hand.

"I have a couple questions."

"Okay- shoot"

"Hojo?" He asked and looked at me with raised eyebrows. I took in a small breath before replying.

"We're not really together. I mean we are but we're not and it's just kind of" I made a weird motion with my hands that didn't really answer the question but I felt like I got my point across.

"That bad huh?"

"Not bad but it just hasn't been working like it once had. We use to be really great, now I hardly see him."

"I wouldn't waste your time. You're uh- pretty amazing to me. He is the one missing out." He smirked when he looked over at me. "trust me."

"Well thanks." I smiled. For some reason everything was so much easier with Inu, it was like breathing. I laughed more and genuinely enjoyed my time more. We made it back to his house and up the stairs to his room. I picked up the picture and asked him about it.

"Oh that is me and Sesshomaru. My dad insisted that we took a picture together before I left and take it with me. I don't know. We don't really get along but he's my brother so yeah. Anyways, my other question: What's going on between you and Kikyo?"

I stared at the picture of him and his brother a little longer and decided to come out with the truth. "It has to do with the night you walked me home and kissed me on the cheek."

"Yeah? What about it?" I peeked a look at him and he had a very composed demeanor about himself so I continued but turned my focus back to the picture that I was holding in my hand.

"Her and I have never especially gotten along but then she heard about the kiss and there's already gossip about me coming out of your room that night and at any point it will get back to Hojo and I just don't want to have that conversation I guess."

"So she's angry that I walked you home and kissed you on the cheek?"

"It would seem so"

"Don't worry about her Kags" He stood up and took the picture out of my hands and placed it back onto the night stand. He slowly put his hands around my waist and turned me towards him. I looked up and his eyes were that beautiful amber that I remember the first night I met him. He brushed some hair out of my face and behind my ear. "She's just jealous and has every right to be." He stepped a little closer to me and searched my eyes and then looked down at my lips. His hand grazed my chin and he lifted my face up the tiniest bit as he put his face closer to mine and put his forehead against mine.

"I know you don't want to have that conversation- I get that but since people are already talking, can I just kiss you already?" He took a few breaths and I could hear my heart reverberate within. He pulled away a little bit and let go of me but I wanted him.

I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back and then crushed my lips onto his. I pushed him back a little and we fell back onto his bed. His hands were all over me and he was kissing me back with just as much intensity. I rolled to the side and broke the kiss to take a few breaths and he laughed a little.

"What?" I glared at him.

"I have just been thinking about that kiss for a while and now-"

I cut him off with a kiss and he made a 'hmmm' noise of surprise. He rolled on top of me and began a line of kisses down my neck.

"No hickies" I whispered.

"What if I put them in places no one can see them" He said slightly out of breath into the side of my neck. It was like electricity and fireworks and pleasure all wrapped into a tight little ball that was releasing all over my body and I had no control.
