Chapter 2

Kagome luckily landed right on her feet, and was waiting for Inuyasha to arrive. She had a bat in her hand, and was ready to use it.

"Keh. Kagome better have some good foo-" SMACK!

"KAGOME?!" Inuyasha growled as he pressed both his hands on the rather large bump forming on his head. He turned to find Kagome rolling on the floor laughing her butt off.

"HAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! OH MY GOD INUYASHA, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN YOUR FACE!!!! Talk about a Kodak moment!!!" Kagome laughed as she tried to get on her feet.

"THAT-WASN'T-FUNNY-KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he grabbed a hold of her shoulders and shook her.

"Um, yeah, from my point of view, it was Inuyasha!" Kagome said as she walked towards her house and giggled.

Inuyasha groaned, he knew that hitting her back with a bat would probably kill her, so he decided that he'd leave her alone, for now.

Kagome opened the doors to her house and opened her mouth to say something and found a riceball getting stuffed into it instead. Kagome looked at her mother and gave her a quizzical look and started to chew when her mother made chewing gestures.

"Welcome home, dear!" Kagome's mother said as she gave her daughter a bear hug, and while doing so almost suffocated the life out of Kagome.

Kagome tried to say something but her mother put her hand on her lips. "Don't speak with your mouth full, dear. Oh, I see you brought Inuyasha with you! Splendid! Inuyasha, are you hungry dear? I made plently of rice balls and ramen to satisfy our family for weeks!" She said as she laughed and walked towards the kitchen. Inuyasha started to lick his lips and massage his stomach when he spotted a still-confused Kagome.

"Now this is what I call home!" Inuyasha said as he grabbed her arm and led her to the kitchen. Kagome swallowed the rice ball and linked her arm with his, "So, how's that bump doing on your head, I think I hit a home run with all that force!" Kagome said as she laughed and sat down on her dinner table.

"Oh, VERY funny Kagome, I don't have a bump, remember, I'm not a weak human like you, and I heal much faster!" Inuyasha said with a bit of ego and pride as Kagome pretended to yawn. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, and prepared to have a delicious meal from Kagome's mother, he could smell it already… Mmmm… rice balls and ramen, what more could a man ask for? He then looked at Kagome, now that's what else I could ask for.

After exchanging hellos with Souta, Grandpa, and Buyo (Kagome's cat), Inuyasha and Kagome decided to get some rest and headed for her bedroom. Kagome jumped on her bed and wrapped herself in her blanket and started to make snoring noises. She peeked to see if Inuyasha was looking at her, and he was, he looked like he was going to jump on her and put her out of her misery! Kagome laughed at the thought of Inuyasha trying to take Kagome out of her blanket and wished he would so she could touch him.

"Kagome, since you've already made clear that you're going to sleep on the bed, what about me, huh?" Inuyasha asked as he sat beside Kagome's body on her bed.

"Well Inuyasha, it's up to you right now, I mean, you can sleep in my closet, on the floor, out in the hall, outside, on the sacred tree, hell you could even sleep in the kitchen! I mean, you'd probably like that, you'd get good access to ramen whenever you have a craving!" Kagome said as she winked at Inuyasha. He simply poked her in the stomach and said, "Ha-ha, very funny, wench! I think I'm going to sleep on the bed today Kagome."

"But Inuyasha, as you can see, I'm sleeping on it…" Kagome said as she glanced over at Inuyasha, and noticed that his expression had changed. He had this look in his eye that she couldn't understand; it was like a heavenly light that called out her name. She stared long and hard into those beautiful golden orbs, and examined his face and noticed that he was starting to turn a shade of light pink.

"I know…" Inuyasha calmly said while still eyeing Kagome. He started to move a little closer to her, he placed his hand on her face and she flinched. Inuyasha smiled, he tucked her long and beautiful dark hair behind her ear. "Um… Inu.. yasha??" Kagome said as she tried to sit in an upright position. "What are you doing?" she asked feeling slightly confused. As much as Kagome wanted Inuyasha, she was oblivious to the fact that he wanted her too.

Inuyasha didn't respond, he simply yanked the blanket away from Kagome and pushed her off the bed and made himself comfortable. "Sucker! Ha! Now I'M going to sleep on the bed tonight!" He shouted at Kagome, whose face was glued to the floor. She got up slowly and pulled his dog ears until they could stretch no more.

"Inuyasha! You stupid idiot! You're going to pay! Watch my words; I'll get my revenge…" Kagome said as she put emphasis on the word revenge, she squeezed Inuyasha's ears until he cried out for mercy.

"Okay okay! I'm sorry! Stop, ow! Stop pulling my –ow!- ears! Kag-o-me!" He shrieked at the top of his lungs. He knew he had to make her stop, so he pulled her on top of him, grabbed a hold of her shirt, and pulled her into a warm, passionate kiss.

Kagome was quite surprised, she was enjoying this, but she was still getting over the initial shock. Inuyasha was softly grazing her lips with his own, and his hands started to caress her back. Kagome put her hands on Inuyasha's chest and started to massage gently. Inuyasha wanted this to last forever, but suddenly Kagome pulled away. He was upset and surprised by her sudden action, but knew that she probably wasn't ready.

"I-I'm sorry Inuyasha," Kagome said as she stood up, "I don't know what got over me."

"Hey, it's okay, it was my fault, I shouldn't have tried anything without your permission first!" Inuyasha said as Kagome started to giggle. He pulled her close to him as soon as she turned off the lights, he kissed her forehead and he held her close. They slept together on the tiny little bed, but Inuyasha didn't mind, he had his arms around Kagome stiffly the whole night.
