Kagome stood in front of the mirror for what seemed like hours. Her mind was racing, and this was the first moment she had to herself since well… as she thought about it a blush crept up to her cheeks. She placed her palms on the sides of her face in an effort to contain the blood to her face. Her efforts were meaningless however when she was snapped back to reality by Inu Yasha's singing in the shower, and her blush spread to all her extremities… or so it felt. Even after last night, she had no regrets. She felt love in everything Inu Yasha did from the way he looked at her to the way he wanted her first time to be as painless as possible.

After almost half an hour of bargaining with the hanyou, she had convinced him that she was able to shower on her own and that she'd been doing it for years before he crept into her life and her heart. Truth be told she was sore after last night, but she wouldn't let Inu Yasha know, he would only worry. She thought back to the worried look on his face she had seen when Sango's mom was rewrapping her wounds from the accident.

Again she was snapped out of la la land by the sound of the water shutting off. Kagome looked at herself in the mirror. Her brows furrowed a little, and she adjusted the clothing numerous times. It was then that Inu Yasha opened the bathroom door and he watched as Kagome tried to make his oversized uniform fit. He wore nothing but a towel and Kagome blushed a deep shade of red when she saw his reflection in the mirror.

"You know you don't have to go to school today" his voice interrupted her replay of last night in her head, "at this rate we'll get there by lunch anyway… at least let's go to your house and get a uniform." Inu Yasha was using a spare towel to dry his long hair and he leaned against the doorframe as he spoke. "We can just… stay here if you want" he mused more so to see her reaction than anything else.

Kagome felt the room grow hotter and she looked at Inu Yasha in the reflection of the mirror. "What would people think Inu Yasha?" She tried to tuck the shirt in, but she pulled it out again. Nothing she did seemed to make the uniform look suitable for her. She looked like a clown with parachute pants. She heaved a heavy sigh as she watched Inu Yasha smirk at her slight frustration. He had merely shrugged at her remark. She knew he didn't care about gossip, and if it was true why would it matter anyway? "So.. if we don't go" Kagome began a bit hesitantly, "what should we do?"

He had moved across the room in that instant his chest was pressed against her back as his arms snaked their way around her waist. Even through the baggy clothing he could feel that her skin was still warm from her shower. His hair cascaded over her shoulder as he bent his head to her ear "well.. we can do whatever you want… a repeat of last night maybe?" He nipped at her ear playfully and she shivered slightly under his touch.

At this she started to laugh. Which wasn't the reaction Inu Yasha was hoping for, but at least it was a positive one. It was a deep laugh that made her stomach hurt after a minute. He had let her go and turned her to face him. He had the cutest expression on his face one ear up and one ear down with his head cocked to the side in confusion, "nono… I'm not laughing at you" she said breathlessly between wiping her tears away, "it's just.. here I am looking as unsexy as possible with my hair all knotted and in gigantic clothes." she did a little twirl to accent her remark. "It just makes me wonder why I spend so much time getting ready to look good when you just want me anyway."

He loved her laugh it was pure and genuine, but he also loved her many other expressions. "Well" he closed the distance between them which pinned her against the wall. He had one arm straight his palm pressed on the cold mirror and the other twisted a lock of her hair between his fingers, "that's only because I know what's underneath those baggy, gigantic clothes" he trailed off his voice velvety in her ear. She shivered slightly as she felt his breath on the side of her cheek.

It was just then that her phone began to ring. It was her mother's special ring tone. It was chosen to be annoying enough that she would have to go to the phone if nothing else but to silence the sound. She looked up at Inu Yasha. She knew that look in his eye but she still mustered a meek "excuse me" and she slithered her way out from between him and the wall. Leave it to mom to interrupt one of her fantasy moments come to life she thought as she flipped open the phone. Inu Yasha chucked slightly and leaned against the mirror. His hair was dripping wet, and he was still in his towel. "Hey mom" Kagome began, "yes, it was great!" Inu Yasha tried to keep from listening to their conversation, but even with his ears flat on his head he could hear her mom through the phone, "yes I have you tickets for the Sunday show" she continued with idle chit chat for a few minutes before she shot a quick glance at Inu Yasha before walking to the living room to continue to talk.

Inu Yasha wrinkled his nose a bit before throwing on a pair of boxers and some jeans. After ruffling through his closet he decided on a red T- shirt and some converses. After running a brush through his hair a few times he went out to the living room to see Kagome sitting on the couch.. THEIR couch. He smiled at the thought before tossing her the hairbrush. It was only when she didn't catch it did he realize that she wasn't paying attention to him. Her eyes looked blank and it didn't even seem to phase her that the hairbrush hit her in the side of the head before clattering on the glass tabletop. That sound brought her back to reality, and she slowly turned her head to Inu Yasha before saying in a sheepish tone, "Inu Yasha… after the play is over… I'm moving"
