:Thunder: I'm BACK! Muahahahaha:crickets: Uh, hello:more crickets: I know this took a while, but this is RIDICULOUS:frog, then more crickets: Anyways, to those who are still reading, I think this story is going to be really nice. It's an inukag fic, so, yeah.

Oh, and my computer thought inukag wasn't a word, so I looked at the options to what my MacBook thinks it is and it gave me: Nuking! Wtf? What in the HELL is nuking? Hold on, I'll look it up.

……………

Here's what I got:

Nuke n(y)oōk n(j)uk njuːk informal

noun

a nuclear weapon.

• a nuclear power station.

• a nuclear-powered vessel.

verb [ trans.

attack or destroy with nuclear weapons.

• destroy; get rid of : I fertilized the lawn and nuked the weeds.

• cook or heat up (food) in a microwave oven : I nuked a quick burger.

……..Damn…….. I knew Inu and Kag's relationship was explosive but SERIOUSLY…. Lol well I've kept you long enough, so enjoy the story!

"Inuyasha…."

Silence.

"Inuyaaaaasssshaaaa…"

Silence.

"INUYASHA!"

"WHAT?!"

Inuyasha turned to face Kagome. "What is SO important that you have to yell so much?"

"Um, never mind…" Kagome said softly.

Now he was pissed off. "No. No 'never minds'. You called me, so what do you want?"

"Forget it Inuyasha. If everything I do is going to piss you off, I can go home." She said, looking morose.

He hadn't been expecting that, and he immediately softened. "Kagome…" He slowed his pace so that he was next to her. "Tell me what's wrong. I was just upset because I was thinking about something and you interrupted me. What's the matter?"

Kagome looked up at him nervously, and her eyes averted to the ground. It's just we've been traveling for so long, and my feet are starting to hurt. Can I ride on your back?"

Inuyasha nodded and crouched down in front of her. "Of course Kagome. We'll stop at the next village we come to, okay?"

"Okay!" She settled down onto his back, and they started off again. (A/N: If you're wondering where the others are, they're riding Kilala a little ways ahead of Kags and Inu. Savvy?)

Kagome nuzzled her face into Inuyasha's rich silver hair. As she cuddled there, she got a full whiff of his scent. He smelled like a lush forest, along with another smell she couldn't quite place, but she liked it anyway.

She sighed. She loved riding on Inuyasha's back. She always felt so safe when she was near him. And that morning, when she woke up to find herself in his arms, was no exception.

As she recalled the warmth and comfort that she had felt, she started to doze off, and she allowed herself to fall into a calm sleep.

Kagome sat on the edge of a small cliff that was overlooking a lake. As she basked in the warmth of the evening sun, she suddenly felt arms wrap around her waist.

She turned in fear, but immediately relaxed as the figure brought her into his lap.

"Hi Kagome." Inuyasha whispered softly, nuzzling her cheek. Kagome gave a little sigh and snuggled into his chest.

"Hi Inuyasha. Are you feeling any better?" she asked.

"A little, but I was getting tired of sitting in that hut all day, so I snuck out." He replied slyly.

"Inuyasha! You retard, you're supposed to stay inside!" she yelled, whacking him on the shoulder.

"Awww, Kags, you just ruined the moment!" He whined, nibbling on the side of her neck. "Relax, I'm fine. I just wanted to see you."

She smiled, and cuddled against him, and the two fell asleep, just as the last rays of sunlight left the sky.

Kagome woke with a start as she felt her body being shaken gently.

"Kagome, wake up. We're here." Inuyasha said softly.

She nodded and stretched, accidentally hitting Inuyasha in the head with her hand.

"Whoops! Sorry Inuyasha." She said as Inuyasha rubbed his right cheek.

Inuyasha growled in disapproval. "You'd better be sorry, wench!"

"Inuyasha…"

"Uh, yes?"

"SIT boy."

Bam

"OWWWWWW!"

Kagome turned and walked into the hut that, thanks to Miroku's fake exorcisms, they were staying in for the night.

That dream I had…. It was really strange, because Inuyasha would never act like that, would he? Kagome was being bothered by many questions about the dream when Sango walked up.

"Hey, Kagome, there's a hot spring in this village. Do you want to go with me?" She asked, and Kagome nodded. She needed the distraction.

As they departed for the hot spring, Kagome caught a glimpse of Inuyasha, who was sitting in a tree, rubbing his left ear and wincing.

I wonder what's up with his ear…. She thought as she slipped into the water.

"Oooo! It's warmer than any of the others we've been to!" Kagome said happily.

"Isn't it? Man, I could sit here forever!" Sango giggled and sunk down into the water.

Coming back up, she shook the water from her long brown hair. "Oooo! That felt good!"

The two girls giggled and rested on the steam rocks.

"Hey Kagome…. Remember when we first bathed in the hot spring together?"

"Yes, I remember. What about it?"

"You never answered my question."

"Huh?" Kagome thought hard, trying to remember what the question was.

"I asked you if Inuyasha would peek at us, and you said no. Then I asked you if you wanted him to, and you never answered." Sango said.

"Oh, that… Well…" Kagome didn't know how to reply.

"You do, don't you?"

"What? No!"

"Aw, Inuyasha will be depressed to hear that!"

"What do you mean? He doesn't like me that way." Kagome's voice softened slightly as she spoke.

"'Course he does! Just give him time to get used to these kinds of feelings. You know how much of a dense ass he is." Sango said, and the two girls giggled.

And who was to know that the dense ass that they were talking about was currently spying on them?

WITH THE SPYING HANYOU……

Inuyasha, who was rubbing his sore ear, sweat-dropped when he heard Sango call him 'dense'.

I am NOT dense, dammit! He thought angrily.

/Quite sure you are, buddy./

What the fuck?

/I'm your conscience, dense ass./

I am NOT dense!

/Yes you are./

I am not!

/Yes you are. Now stop arguing and listen to what they're saying./

Inuyasha turned towards the hot spring again in time to catch the next, incredibly important thing Kagome said.

"I'm going to make sure he's not spying on us, okay Sango?"

"How?"

"I'm going to 'it' him, okay?"

/Okay, time to go!/

NOW I agree with you!

Inuyasha ran for his life and got back to camp just as Kagome said the word.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" He cried as he went down for an added effect.

When he was able to move again, he felt the pain in his ear increase. He tried to twitch it, but there was one thing wrong with it: he couldn't move it at all.

What's wrong with my ear? It hurts so badly… He thought as he lay down by the fire, still stroking the furry appendage in confusion.

When Kagome and Sango returned, Inuyasha was fast asleep, his hand still on his hurting ear.

Hmm, he never goes to sleep this early. And it looks like his ear is still hurting or something. I wonder what's wrong with it. Kagome thought, looking at the sleeping hanyou with a calculating look.

Her seriousness left her quickly however when he shifted slightly and whimpered in his sleep.

Awww, he's so KAWAII! (A/N: DUH!!!! lol)She thought, smiling at him. She then stepped forward and sat down next to him, staring at his features.

But who knew that he wasn't asleep, but unconscious?

I had to get this up to avoid getting atomic chicken tenders thrown at me, so I stopped it here. It would have been longer, though!
