Normal POV

Inuyash picked Kagome up and carried her swiftly up the step. Every so often a pained gasp would escape her lips. With each one he would clutch her tighter. As he entered the house Kagome's mother eyed Kagome with a worried look.

"Don't worry...mom...I'll be alright." she said winking at her mother. Instantly her mother understood what was wrong and smiled warmly. As Inuyasha ascended the steps to her room he felt her hand grip his shirt.

He looked down at her worried, and she returned it with a smile. "Um....Inuyasha?" she timidly looked at him.

"Yeah" he mumbled.

"Would you go downstairs and grab the bag that you ask what was in it earlier?" he was confused by her words at first but quickly understood witch bag she was talking about. It was the bag that had the strange odor to it. He nodded before heading down the stairs to retrieve it.

When he returned, Kagome quickly snatched the bag from him, and headed towards the bathroom. He stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds before flopping on her bed.

'Mm' he thought 'she smells so good ,especially right now.' he blushed trying to drive the reason why she smelt so good to him out of his head. He grabbed one of her pillows and buried his face in it. He took a deep breath dragging as much of her sent in as he possibly could. The door creaked as Kagome opened it, and Inuyasha jumped up throwing the pillow back on the bed. This action earned a giggle from her.

She slowly walked past him and sat on the edge of her bed. He could feel her eyes boring into the back of his head. It was making him uneasy.

"What?!" he snapped turning around to face her. She jumped back in response, her cheeks stained with color. He felt back for getting on her case. It just made him uneasy for her to stare at him so long without saying anything.

"I was...uh..." she paused looking from him to the floor. Her cheek color darkening.

"What?" he said lighting his tone. Her gaze wandered back to his face.

"Um."

"You can tell me anything Kagome." he coaxed.

She stared for a few more minutes before standing up and unexpectedly hugging him. He was frozen in shock for a minute, then he began to lightly stroke her hair. She suddered lightly at his touch, cuddling into his chest.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

She pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed again."I was wondering if you would sleep here tonight?" her blushed colored her cheeks a dangerouly dark red ans her gaze one again fell to the floor.

"What? I always sleep here when im in your era." he smirked.

"No.."she sucked in a deep breath and slowly let it out. " I meant here.." pointing to her bed she didn't meet his awestruck eyes.

"Uh..." he couldn't think of anything to say. 'Should I? I mean she is asking me. But then again would it be to awkward? I'm still not used to her being so relaxed around me.'
