I do not own Inuyasha or it's characters.

Prolog:

This takes place after Kagome comes back home from being stuck in her time for 3 years. It's only been about a month. Kagome decided to play a game where she tried to grab Inuyasha's ears without letting her do it. (Like a ninja)

-Kagome's POV-

*Inuyasha in sitting next to the bank of a river*

Ok, all I have to do is sneak up to him and grab his ears, easy. I'm going to get him this time. Every other time, he always got away from me somehow. Sure, he has super hearing, but I can still do it.

I slowly started tiptoeing closer to him until I was about 2 feet away. I knew Inuyasha knows that I'm there. I mean, he can smell me from miles away. He must be playing with me. Ever sense I came back, he has been keeping close eyes on me, so it's very hard to sneak up on him.

I was about a foot and a half away when I decided to jump. I bent my knees and leaped.

-Normal POV-

Inuyasha heard Kagome and quickly jumped away from her. He then heard her mumble something.

"Haha, you can never sneak up on me. You know that, Kagome. I always know where you are." Inuyasha said boastingly. "I now figured out that you're trying to go after my ears, so you have yourself a war."

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and noticed that she was lying down on the grass with her hands around her foot. He then smelled her tears.

She was crying.

"Kagome, what happened…?" Inuyasha hurried over to Kagome to see that she was in pain. "Kagome! You're in pain. What happened? I need to get you to Kaede's."

Kagome didn't say anything and just kept on whimpering. When Inuyasha tried picking her up, bridal stile, she winced in pain.

Oh I hope you're ok, Kagome.

Inuyasha made it to Kaede's in a couple of minutes and set her down on the pad. Kaede looked up and saw Kagome sniffling.

"Kaede, what's wrong with her. When she tried to jump on me, she just fell on the ground with pain. I think it has something to do with her foot."

Kaede told Kagome to remove her arms from her foot.

At first, she was debating whether or not to, but she eventually let her check it out. Kaede inspected the foot while Inuyasha decided to set net to the down, with Tessaiga in his lap.

He looked over at Kagome to see that she started to stop crying. He was at least relieved what she stopped.

Kaede finished her inspection and found out that she sprained her ankle.

"Well, she sprained her ankle, but that looks like that's it. It's pretty back though. She will need to stay here for a couple days. I have a little hut behind me that she could stay in."

Kagome leanded against the wall, wrapping her hand around her bandaged foot. She just kept looked down at it.

Inuyasha looked over to her and said, "Thanks, Kaeda. I can take her there." He stood up, placing Tessaiga in his belt and went over to Kagome.

Kagome looked up at him while he picked her up. Once she was up in his arms, she just looked down, not having enough courage to look at him again. This was all her fault anyways.

Inuyasha found the hut and went inside. It looked only big enough for about 2 people. There was only one window, a mat for sleeping, and a little pit for the fire. He placed Kagome on the mat, with her back against the wall, and sat down next to her.

Kagome put her head on his shoulder. She was started to fall asleep. All that crying made her tried.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha."

Looking down at her sleepy face, he said, "Don't apologize. It's my fault for being carless." He put his hand on top of her head and started sliding his hand through her hair.

It's so soft. It smells like lavender.

Taking a deep breath of her scent, he started to fall asleep. Her smell was addicting to him. He couldn't get enough of it. He then fell asleep, feeling her steady breath soothing him.

Kagome wasn't asleep though. She learned how to slow her breath to make it seem like she was asleep. That was one of her expert skills.

With Inuyasha sleeping on her shoulder. He lifted her hand up and grabbed his ear.

"Gotch' ya."

-Kagome's POV-

Haha…finally. Even though I did get hurt. It was worth it.

His ear was like cotton candy. It was soft and silky. The fur on it was pure silver, untouched by anyone else but her. It felt like it was calling me. Like I had to be the chosen one to pet it.

I had a comb in my pocket that I decided was helpful right not. Finally getting it out of my pocket, I started to brush his ear.

Oh how much I wanted to do this.

Before I knew it, I was actually starting to get sleepy. Then my eyes fell into darkness, with my hands on his silky ear.

Kaede walked in and saw the lovely couple sleeping in each other's shoulders, with the moonlight seeping in through the window.

"Heh…" she said, smiling.
