note: This is like a little chapter dedicated to some Inu/Kag fluff, OK?


It was rarely dusk when Kagome and Inu-Yasha had awakened. The dog hanyou moaned a bit and rubbed his head with hand.

"Ohhh...even though I've been getting a lot of rest for the past few days, I still feel pretty drowsy," he moaned, getting up slowly. Kagome fluttered her eyes open and sat up beside him, stretching her arms and legs. The girl looked outside the window to see that it was dark out. Then she looked over at Inu-Yasha.

"Maybe it's because you got attacked by Monster," she commented, covering a yawn that was forming on her mouth. Kagome looked away from his, her eyes still drooping with sleep. The cat hanyou blinked a few times to get it out of her eyes.

Inu-Yasha stayed silent, but then sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I guess you were right about that. Sorry about not believing you and thinking that you needed to be put into a rubber room."

Kagome shot daggers at him, but dropped it and sighed alongside with Inu-Yasha. "Sorry for letting Monster hurt you so badly. I kind of spaced out."

"It's fine," the dog hanyou said, rolling his eyes. "It was only just a scratch."

Kagome scowled. "It wasn't just a scratch! There was a lot of Monster's glass teeth in stuck in your back!"

"Glass teeth?"

"Never mind."

The girl looked back outside the window to the empty black and sighed. "Hey Inu-Yasha, I've been meaning to ask you something. What's up with that scar on your back? Where-"

"Some questions are better left un answered," Inu-Yasha snarled, looking away from the girl. Kagome could feel the anger suddenly pulsing off of him. But what was the matter? Why didn't he want to talk about the scar? What caused it. "So just shut up and drop it. Don't ever talk about it again."

"Some way to talk to a princess," Kagome mumbled gruffly, crossing her arms over her chest. Inu-Yasha's ears twitched. Ah, yes, he had completely forgotten. Kagome was actually a princess, even though she didn't act like it. Inu-Yasha suddenly regained his pride as he smirked and looked over at Kagome. The cat hanyou could feel him staring at the back of her, so she looked back at him also. Kagome furrowed her brow angrily, the scowl still planted on her face. "What? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I totally forgot about that! Well, you are a real royal pain in the butt," he commented rudely. Kagome glared at him, but did nothing more. "And just to say, since both your parents are dead, you'd actually be a queen."

Kagome stared at him blankly for a moment. "Oh yeah..."

The dog hanyou chuckled darkly. "And I thought that queens were supposed to be smart."

"The hell's that's supposed to mean?!" Kagome hissed, trying to stop her hand from slapping him. Alas she couldn't control her hand. It went flying at the hanyou, but before it hit it's destination, Inu-Yasha grabbed it. He pulled Kagome towards him, a calm look on his face. Kagome blushed a bit when she saw how intense he was looking at her. "Um..Inu-Yasha..."

"Kagome..." he said, pulling her a bit closer. Their noses were almost touching. Fortunately (or unfortunately) Kagome came to her senses quickly.

"Whoa!" she cried, getting her hand free and using it to give him a good smack across the cheek. Inu-Yasha fell with a loud thump onto the ground below. Kagome was still blushing as she brought her hand down beside her. The cat hanyou avoided all eye contact with the dog hanyou.

"What the hell? What's wrong with you, woman?!" Inu-Yasha growled, getting up from his spot on the floor. He glared at Kagome. "What the helll was that slap for?" The dog hanyou pointed to the red handprint that was now residing on his cheek.

"What were you going to do?" Kagome asked quietly, still not daring to look at him. The scowl on Inu-Yasha's face disappeared as she asked this.

"Why? What were you hoping I was going to do?" he asked calmly.

Kagome looked up at him with wide eyes. "Hold the phone! Who said I was hoping for something?" Inu-Yasha smirked.

"I knew it. You were practically begging in your mind for me to kiss you, weren't you?" he asked, a hint of lust shaking through his voice.

Kagome swallowed hard. Actually, for truth, she was kind of hoping that. "N-no."

Inu-Yasha sat down on the other side of the couch contently. "Yep. I can tell by the way your voice is shaking. Plus, you smell rather nervous."

"Whatever," Kagome mumbled, forcing her muscles to get loose of tension and be calm again. She was trying to regain her pride. "Now, why would I be wishing that?"

"Because you totally fell for me."

"Why would I fall for you?"

"Because you...um...I..."

"See?" Kagome asked calmly, resting one of her hands in her chin. "I told you that I wasn't hoping and/or thinking it. So just drop the subject, OK?"

Inu-Yasha sighed, knowing that he was defeated. "Hmph. Fine. It was getting boring anyway." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"M hm..."

The couple was now completely silent. Inu-Yasha decided to turn on the T.V. since he was getting so bored. They both watched the T.V., but neither of the two was actually paying any attention to it; neither of them was actually watching it. Both of them started to drift away into deep thoughts- about each other.

'Why do I enjoy messing with her head and making her angry all the time?' Inu-Yasha asked in his mind, his golden eyes locked on the T.V., to make Kagome think he was watching it. 'Is it because I truly love her? No...I loved (a/n: Notice how he added 'ed') Kikyo, not Kagome. I guess I like doing this because it's in my nature. I like annoying people like this, just make them completely frustrated. But I especially like to make her angry...hm...maybe it's because she has such a bad temper and gets mad easily. Or maybe it's something more...' He found his eyes starting to trail over Kagome's body. His golden eyes went over her hair and face and her...chest. Inu-Yasha smirked but then widened his eyes and shook his head. Luckily, Kagome didn't notice.

Meanwhile...Kagome thinking something similar.

'Why do I feel so weird around him? It can't be love, no way. It couldn't," Kagome thought in her mind as she stared at the T.V. as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world. 'I just love to get him so angry.' Her eyes suddenly started to trail all over him. 'Well, he is hot when he's angry...' Kagome widened her eyes as wide as possible and mentally screamed. 'Whoa! What the hell am I saying? I just called Inu-Yasha hot...' She sighed and drooped her eyes. 'What if I do love him? Heh…it won't make any difference. I know that he doesn't love me. Plus, I don't know anything else about it! Except for the fact that he's a total flirt.' Kagome shifted her eyes. 'God, and plus, he also raped my only sister, which makes him a huge 'NO' on my list.' Kagome focused her eyes back on the television screen. It was true. 'Why would I date a dude who raped my sister?'

'I wonder what he's thinking about right now...'

'I wonder what she's thinking about right now...'

As the two thought this they both scooted a bit closer to each other. They kept scooting closer to each other until they were against each other. Kagome blushed and looked down as Inu-Yasha blushed and looked up. After a bit, Inu-Yasha gathered some courage and wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulder, pulling her closer towards him. Kagome's blush turned a deep crimson but she then set her head gently on his shoulder. Inu-Yasha smiled -not smirked, but smiled- and set his head on Kagome's. The couple stayed like that for a few minutes, before looking at each other. Angry gold meeting soft gold. Suddenly, as if on cue, they both started to move their heads closer to each others. Right before their lips met, something had shattered their to-be kiss. A scream. A scream from one of the maids (a/n: Yes...The Tashiou family does have maids). It was coming from the front porch. Inu-Yasha and Kagome mentally sighed in disappointment as they fled off towards the porch. When the two got there, they both gasped.

Dead servants and maids laid everywhere, with huge chunks of bitten out of them. The carpets surrounding the area were soaked by crimson blood. Fresh, crimson blood. And, amidst of all this, was a huge, blubbery figure. It had it's backs on them. Then it turned around. The creature was a horrible mess of fangs, claws, and blood. Two, massive, green eyes stared over Inu-Yasha and Kagome. In what they thought to be the mouth was the remains of the maid that had been screaming. On seeing the eyes, Kagome knew who it was.

"Monster," she barely whispered. Inu-Yasha of course heard it. His eyes widened.

'I was just hoping that our happiness would last a little longer,' he thought angrily, glaring at the goblin. 'I guess we don't get everything we want.'

"Hello Kagome and Inu-Yasha," Monster greeted, showing off his terrible fangs. "Nice to see you again."
