Disclamer: I do not own inuyasha

Hi. It's been so long since I've posted anything. For those who follow any of my stories. I'm so sorry I'll try to post as soon as I can. Anyway I hope you like this chapter. I've decided to turn 'Sweet smell' into a series of oneshots.

It was one of those days where everything you do feels weird for some strange reason. For kagome her day started of normaly enough. Get up ,eat breakfast and start looking for shards that was her routine for the past couple of weeks. While occasionally fighting demons who tried to kill her. Yup this was what normal was for kagome these days.

"Wake up wench" he companions voice drifted to her. Her internal clock still not used to waking up before the sun was up in the sky groaned. Eventhough she was a high school student, she never woke up this early.

"OI!" she was shaken awake by her now impatient dog eared friend. "Come on wench. We got shards to find." He growled out.

Kagome reluctantly sat up. Her mind still in a daze. Her gaze landed on a pissed of inuyasha. She sighed and got up to start the day. She rubbed the sleep from her eye's, the sandman paid her a vist last night and left her little gifts.

"Good morning Inuyasha" she stretched her aching muscles.

Inuyasha got up and followed her "About time you got up, it's way past dawn, we should have been on the road hours ago, if your laze ass had just woken up" he was shouting in her face, all traces of sleep now gone.

"I was tired inuyasha. I'm sorry now would you please let it go" she went past him to start the fire.

"Feh". He did keep quiet though. He patiently waited for his ramen. His mouth watering at the thought. Glancing over to the time traveling miko to ask what the delay was , he saw her digging through her big yellow bag with a confused look "What's wrong?"

She glanced up at him "huh? Oh nothing" and went back to her task mumbling to herself. "I'm sure I packed it, where is- ah ha". She happily her the Styrofoam cup. There was only one pack left. They must have finished the rest. She knew inuyasha would want it. Maybe they could share.

Quickly pouring the hot water into the cup she closed it and waited for three minutes counting.

It had only been two week since they started on their journey to look for the missing shards. She observed inuyasha. He was fiddling with his sword, his expression one of a curious child who had just got a new toy. He was very attached to the sword. 'Well ofcouse it was his father's, the only reminder of his father he has' she thought to herself. Fromwhat she had observed, inuyasha was a very closed off person. He may be brash and loud but he was also very sweet in his own way. She saw behing his brave front. Countless times he had protected her without a second thought. He had found a place in her heart. She saw him as a dear friend and trusted him with her life. She was brought out of her thoughts when the smell of cooked ramen hit her nose. Inuyasha must have noticed it too.

When she looked up she saw the ramen was gone. She looked up to see inuyasha practically inhale the thing. She laughed lightly 'He must have been hungry'. She got up starting to clear up.

"Inuyasha you could have waited it for it to cool down you know, that was the last pack. We wont have anymore till I go back to my time to restock. So savour it buddy." She put everything away and heaved her heavy pack onto her shoulders.

"Come on lets go, you're the one who said It was late" she ignored her stomach grumbling at her to eat something.

He looked up at her back, his golden eyes percing. He knew she had'nt eaten anything and had kept quiet because he had wanted the ramen. He felt guilty and suddenly the ramen had lost it's taste. He silently finished the rest of it and gave it back to her to put away.

They were soon on their way. Kagome walked a few steps behind him struggling to carry her pack. She really needed to make sure not to bring so much stuff next time. She sighed as she dragged her feet he stomach still making grumbling noises at her.

Suddenly she felt the weight on her back being lifted. She looked up to see inuyasha walking ahead with her pack on his shoulders. She smiled though he couldn't see it. Running up to walk beside him she said a silent thank you, her smile showing how much she appreciated his kind gesture.

"Feh. You were slowing us down" she still didn't get angry.

"yes yes. But still, I appreciate it" he walked beside her in peaceful silence.

Soon it was nearing could see that kagome was exhausted by now, 'stupid girl, she's too stubborn.' he hate to admit it, but she could be as stubborn as him.

Inuyasha walked up towards the trees and set her pack down and turned to her "Wait here, I'll be back. Try not to get into any trouble will ya" he said and dissappered into the trees.

Kagome frowned staring at the empty space. "What's his problem, and where's he of to in such a hurry." Kagome sighed and slid down against the tree. She was tired and hungry. Not a good combination. Which caused her to feel angry and the only one she could show it to had run off somewhere.

"That inuyasha ,one minute he's being sweet then he turns around and insults me" she laid her head on the bark, "oh man I'm so hungry" she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Kagome slowly felt herself awaken. This time there was no half demon shouting in her ear telling her to get up. She glanced up at the sky watching the sun set ,as the orange and yellow melted together. Huh . it was near dark already. She sat up with a start, She had slept through the most part of the day. Oh man inuyasha must be beyond angry. She looked around the clearing , noticing the small fire and two large fish cooking by the fire. She looked around trying to spot the telltail sign of red. "where is he?"

She jumped when the tress rustled above and looked up in time to see inuyasha jump down from his branch, directly above her. She gasped as he landed a mere few inches from her. He looked at her with a hurt expression "sorry I scared you" he turned and went to tend to the fire.

She sat there with a startled look and realized what inuyasha must have thought. She got up to go sit beside him. "inuyasha?"

She felt her heart twist painfully when he didn't look at her, she had to make him understand. "Inuyasha you just startled me. Is all" she gently spoke to him. She sighed and turned back to the fire.

She turned to him when she heard him speak ,"Whatever" but she saw his shoulders relax a bit.

Inuyasha then realized why he had come down in the first place. He had gotten back that afternoon with the fish he had caught upstream. But frowned when he saw that she was fast asleep, unprotected. The wench fell asleep in the middle of the forest where bloodthirsty demons wanted to kill her. He felt fear and anger, fear at what might have happened and angry at her carelessness. He felt his anger return.

She jumped up as he suddenly exclaimed, "Bitch, just what were you thinking!" he practically growled at her. She gulped, and frowned. What had she done for him to be so angry at her.

"What are you talking about?" she shot back at him. He got angrier. They were both on their feet now yelling face to face.

" YOU! You fell asleep alone in the forest full of demons. Do you realize how stupid that was. Wench you could have been killed!" he kept walking toward her, she backed up as he kept walking toward her until she felt her back hit the tree. His eyes burning a deep amber. She saw the swirl of emotions in his eyes. There was anger and a hint of fear. She finally realized why he was so angry. She had been foolish. She knew better than to be ungaurded while alone by now. She bowed her head in slightly. She felt guilty for making him worry. He had'nt even mentioned the shard.

"I'm so sorry inuyasha. I did'nt mean to make you worry" she looked up at him through her eyelashes. He glanced down at her with a shocked expression. He had'nt thought she would give in without putting up a fight. He quickly regained his composure.

"What? Your sorr-y?" she nodded and looked him in the eye " I should'nt have been so careless. I knew better. Who would find the jewel shards if I wasn't there." She said the last part in a low voice.

Inuyasha stared at her in both shock and anger.' Is that what she thinks'. As he looked at her shadowed expression he thought 'Apparently'

"Kagome?"

"Hai?"

She gasped as she felt his fingers gently brush against her cheek."Baka," he softly whispered as she looked at him. He lay his emotions out in the open. She understood what he was trying to say. With a smile she leaned into his hand. Soon he let go and walked back to the fire. She followed suit.

He held up a large cooked fish in front of her. She looked up at him to see he was still staring at the flame."Eat. you did'nt eaten anything in the moring too". She happily took the fish from him with a "Thank you" and dug into it. Her hunger making itself known. She cleaned the piece of fish till nothing but the bone was left. She licked her fingers, a little sad that the fish was over but happy nonetheless.

She looked up to see inuyasha still holding his fish untouched, "Aren't you going to eat inuyasha?"

"Here. Take it" inuyasha held his fish for her to take. She shook her head "No it's yours, you must be hungry inuyasha." When he didn't; move to eat it she pushed it back to him gently "Please inuyasha I'm not hungry I've had my share. Now eat." She was touched by the gesture but she wasn't about to let him starve.

He shoved it back into her hands "Stop being stubborn and take it"

"NO, you eat it" she pushed it back she could be just as stubborn as him.

"Bitch" he sighed when she kept refusing. He smirked he was going to make her eat the damn fish one way or another.

She looked at him suspiciously, 'what is he planning'. She looked at him waiting for any sudden movements. She finally opened her mouth prepared to sit him if he did'nt eat it, when he broke of a piece and popped it into her mouth. His fingers brushing against her lips. She turned red and swallowed it to keep from choking. She looked up at the smug look on his face. She knew her face matched the colour of his horai "you jerk" he raised his eyebrows at her.

" So are you going to eat it or do I have to feed you" he held in a chuckle when she grabbed the fish from his hands and ate it grumbling about sneaky hanyous.

" Hurry up wench I don't want my shard detector to get sick" he said sighed. Open mouth insert foot.

"inuyasha?"

"H-hai" he gulped.

" osuwari"

"Why?" she giggled slightly.

So how was it. Was it ok?. Did you like it?
