Chapter 5: Two can play at this game

The gang was walking, on the hunt for more jewel shards. Kagome was ridiculously happy, humming to herself as she walked alongside Sango. Everyone noticed this, but didn't say anything. Inuyasha took note of this, making sure he will get her more roses later, if it makes her so happy. Wait, when did I start to care so much? He thought back to the kiss she gave him on the cheek yesterday.

He put his hand on his cheek. He started to become a bit flustered at the memory. He shook his head, a scowl returning to his face. When did she of all people start being sooo nice? With the way I was talking to her, she would have sat me into oblivion! Is she doing this for a reason? Is she… He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the voice of Kagome calling him so he wouldn't get left behind. He immediately started to catch up to the rest of the group. I'm going to figure you out Kagome. He smirked to himself as he looked her way.

A few hours later, the group decided to take a quick break for lunch. Kagome, still humming to herself, started to pull out packets of ramen, his favorite, beef. My plan is working! Kagome cheered to herself. He is being nicer and calmer and he isn't biting people's heads off! I'm a genius! Kagome grinned as she poured boiling water into all the ramen bowls. Too bad Inuyasha had a plan of his own. He smirked as he chugged down his ramen as fast as he could.

Then he turned to Shippo, "Shippo! I'm gonna take your ramen!" He greedily snatched it from Shippo.

"Hey! You stupid dog! Give it back, it's mine!" Shippo cried as he jumped at Inuyasha's hands. Inuyasha stood up with Shippo in one hand, and the ramen in the other.

"KAGOME!" Shippo cried as he was dangling upside down, Inuyasha holding him by his tail. Kagome put her ramen down and stood up, a dark aura emanating around her.

"Inuyasha….." she started out giving him a death glare. He shrunk back a bit. Maybe he was wrong? Maybe she was being her normal self. Why was he pushing her buttons anyway? He was starting to get nervous. Maybe this was a bad idea. He thought as he inhaled his breath sharply.

"Inuyasha…." She started out again her hands clenched at her side. "Ssssi…" Wait! I'm supposed to be nice to him! Stick to the plan! She sighed and just like that her dark aura terminated, leaving everyone stunned.

"Inuyasha put him down!" Kagome walked over to him and took Shippo and the ramen. Inuyasha just stood there, stunned. His mouth was agape and he stood there, frozen. He wasn't the only one though. Shippo, Miroku, Sango and Kirara expected him to be 6 feet under after pulling a stunt like that. They all watched her, shocked. Shippo was disappointed mostly; he wanted to see the stupid dog suffer.

"Kagome? Why didn't you sit Inuyasha?" Shippo questioned. The others listened intently, wanting to know the answer themselves.

"Well, I just didn't want to… and I didn't need to." Shippo pouted while the others gave her a pointed look. Inuyasha saw right through that though.

"I didn't need to" my ass! Kagome, your not fooling anyone. I know you are definitely up to something and I'm gonna figure it out! A big smirk plastered his face. But for now…. Kagome started packing everything in her bag but dropped a hairbrush. Inuyasha bent down and picked it up and handed it to her. Two can play at this game. She muttered a thank you and he gave her a smile. She blushed a bit and turned back to putting everything back in her bag.
