'I wonder when he'll be back.' Kagome thought to herself. 'It's been 3 hours.'

Click.

She sat upright and turned to the direction of the door.

Inuyasha walked in, sweaty, and dirty. His long silver mane had many small twigs and leaves. He looked like he had taken a run through the woods. And although Kagome hadn't heard it it was evident that it had rained on the hanyou.

"Have a nice run?" She asked nonchalantly.

"Keh." He replied, making a big show of wringing his garments and hair out, "I'm going to go take a shower."

Kagome blushed at the thought.

"What are you blushing for, wench?" He smirked.

"Pfft. Whatever dog boy."

"Dog boy? That's the best you've got?" Inuyasha sighed at her pathetic attempt. "I'll show you dog boy."

Kagome raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. He stood in front of her, blocking her view of the TV.

"Hey, watch it. I'm gonna miss the best part!"

"Should of thought about that when you called me dog boy."

He began shaking.

"Don't you dare Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, getting up and getting ready to run for her life.

He grabbed her and kept her an arms length away and stared shaking violently, showering Kagome with the mist.

'He really is like a dog.' Kagome thought, crinkling her nose, 'A cute one.'

"Great." She looked down on her now equally dirty self. "Now I'm all wet." She stuck her bottom lip out and pouted.

"I'll run you a shower." He chuckled, throwing his head back as he left the room, and headed up the stairs. Kagome reached for the remote and turned off the TV, and followed him. She entered the bathroom, which was now full of steam, and shut the door. She undressed and put her hand under the running shower. "Ouch hot." She adjusted and stepped back from the shower. She found a door, expecting it to lead to a closet full of towels. What Kagome wasn't prepared for was a run in with Inuyasha.

"Oh." They said simultaneously, as Kagome head hit is toned chest. He looked down and she looked up in surprise.

"Oh my Kami!" She screeched, causing Inuyasha's ears to flatten against his scalp.

Inuyasha instantly looked back up, and blushed an even deeper red as he threw a towel at her which she caught and quickly wrapped around her body.

"I-I'm sorry." Inuyasha stuttered, "I was just just trying to find some girly smelling shampoo for you."

He backed away with his hands over his eyes. And slipped.

He wasn't expecting it and his hands shot out, in an effort to keep from falling, but the only thing within reach was Kagome.

"Pfft." The air was knocked out of them.

Inuyasha's eyes grew wide.

There was the sound of a click and a snicker.

"Hey guys," Miruko casually smiled at the door, "Glad to see you two are getting along." He chuckled as he continued his way down the hallway.
