Thunder rumbled outside, the pouring rain beating loud against their roof. Inuyasha stared moodily at nothing as lightning flooded their little hut for a split second. He had been glaring at the ceiling since he lied down to sleep, which was two hours ago. The half-demon grew envious of his little mate cuddling against his side, knowing he'd never get sleep tonight with the noise attempting to make him deaf.

He contemplated waking her up to at least keep him comfortable but decided definitely against it. She shouldn't have to deal with his suffering too. With a long sigh, he rubbed a hand over his tired face, closing his eyes in an attempt to capture the sandman that skipped him.

"Something wrong?"

Inuyasha's eyes blinked open and glanced at his mate's concerned gaze before shaking his head. "Can't sleep, is all," he mumbled.

"Hmm..." she hummed in thought before sitting up and stretching.

"Kagome, go back to sleep," he told her as she crawled over to her worn-down, yellow backpack. Pushing himself to his elbows, he watched her dig through the bag's many pockets before tugging out several pieces of clothes she's never worn since coming back to the Feudal Era. "What are you doing?"

The young priestess didn't answer as she placed two, bunched up blouses on the stomach of an over-sized sweater and rolled them up and went back to him. "Put your ears down," she requested and he did, pinning them back against his scalp. She placed the rolled-up torso gently on the top of his head, covering his dog ears, and tied the two sleeves under his chin. "Better?"

Inuyasha made a face. The cloth muted the noise but, "I feel stupid."

She smiled and put her ear plugs back in. "It's only for tonight," she murmured as she laid back down, tugging his shoulder to pull him down with her. Placing a sweet kiss on his jaw, she rested her head on his chest. "Goodnight."

The half-demon grumbled but kissed the top of her head gratefully before finally falling asleep himself.

A/N: Just dropping a note to say I won't be replying to reviews unless I absolutely find it necessary to- a question for example.

Oh, and for the record, I predict that this set is going to be mostly simple-sweet Inu/Kag because it's all I really have experience with ;3
