AN: Yo! *stews in anger* baka baka baka baka baka BAKA!!!!

…sorry, not you guys! I'm just angry at some idiot in my class ^^

If I didn't like him, I'd maim him…grr….

So this chapter might have some…I don't know, different…moments? Major girls-kick-ass moments? (sorry guys)

Music, is it ironic if I was listening to Shugo Chara! This chapter? Maybe ironic ain't the right word…anyway.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the charcters, yada yada yada…

CHAPTER 4:

"Mou…I'm going to MURDER him!" Kagome growled, trudging down the stairs. "Baka…" she hissed to the milk jug she grabbed from the fridge.

"Yare yare, daijobou, onii-chan?" Souta, Kagome's little brother, asked.

"Since when are you so proper?" Kagome snapped, stuffing food in her mouth.

"Just askin'!" he replied, sticking his tongue out at her.

"You REALLY don't want to do that to me right now." Kagome threatened through gritted teeth, her fists clenching.

"No, really, what happened? Did a boy do something involving your body's touching?" Souta asked curiously.

Kagome's face turned bright red at the memory of the dream she had had the last night. It had seemed so…real, it was frightening. The strong protection of his grip, the wonderful taste of his kiss, the pain when he left her alone. "N-no, nothing like that at all!" she exclaimed. "I'm off!"

"Yup, something happened." Souta sighed to himself, fingering his food in a bored fashion.

"Doshtano, Sango? You look like you got up underneath the bed this morning!" Ayame exclaimed at the sight of her friend's disgruntled expression.

"Miroku. Must. DIE." Sango growled, spitting out the word "die" so fiercely, Kagome and Ayame backed away a bit.

"Now what'd the lech do?" Kagome finally asked.

"That's the LAST time I allow him to take me out in public!" Sango cried.

Kagome gasped.

"Oh no, I don't even want to imagine what he could've done!" Ayame exclaimed.

Sango sighed. "I'm with you, Kag. The male race suck."

"You're JUST now realizing that?" Kagome sighed, throwing an arm around her friend's shoulders comfortingly. "Don't worry, Sango! You probably injured the poor guy so bad, he won't show up today!"

"Sango, milady!" the three girls froze upon the recognition of the source of THAT voice. You could feel the blazing flames of rage spitting and crackling off of Sango's body."How are you on this fine morn?" the monk asked, grinning at Sango as he faced her. "Le gasp! You look ill! Hop on my back and I shall take you to the infirmary!" Miroku bent down in a pose where his hands were fit just to caress Sango's bottom.

"YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME ANYWHERE, YOU…YOU…PERVERT!" Sango screamed, delivering a slap to him that echoed literally.

Kagome sighed. "C'mon, Ayame, or we'll be late to class." Ayame merely nodded. I…I should ask Inuyasha today about the dream. If he had the same one…if he saw what I saw…oh it's going to be a strange day.

"Good GOD, Miroku! What the hell happened?" Kouga hissed upon seeing his friend enter the classroom forlornly, held by the collar by none other than Sango.

"I'm delivering this THING to you, now." Sango hissed, dropping the poor monk on the hard tile.

"Sango! Dear, please reconsider!" Miroku managed, but Sango was already storming down the hall.

"That's what you get for pissing off a taijiya." Inuyasha grunted, inspecting the apple in his claws. "You're unbelievable, Miroku, I'll give ya that."

"Oh woe is me…" Miroku sighed. "Will she never see that all I do for her is help her?"

"I wouldn't call groping helping, unless she needs help with Sex Ed." Inuyasha growled. His eyes narrowed when he noticed Kouga sneaking out. "And just where are YOU going, mangy wolf?" he growled.

"The fair Kagome has entered the building, and I'm merely going to pay my respects." Kouga explained innocently, sounding slightly like Miroku.

Inuyasha wonked him on the head. "She rejected you yesterday, RETARD!" he growled angrily in the wolf youkai's face.

"I'm sure she was just flustered. Maybe I came on too strong…" Kouga thought out loud.

"You come within ten feet of her, and I maim you and make it look like an accident." Inuyasha said through gritted teeth.

Miroku and Kouga looked at him slyly. "Since when do you care when another guy touches Kagome?" Miroku wondered.

Inuyasha felt his face redden. "I-I don't! It's just, uh…I…don't want her to be annoyed by a guy she already rejected!" Inuyasha glanced out the window, hiding his blush.

Kouga narrowed his eyes. "You…you like my Kagome, don't you!"

"Since when in HELL was she yours?" Inuyasha hissed angrily, turning to face the youkai. "Kagome ain't anyone's PROPERTY, got it?"

Kouga shrugged. "Whatev."

"Look, Ayame, its Prince Charming." Kagome said through slits of eyes at Kouga.

Ayame felt a blush coming on, so she looked away and found greatest interest in the box of chalk on the teacher's desk.

"Kagome." Kouga said, all serious, grabbing Kagome's hands in his own. "I realize yesterday we may have gotten off on the wrong foot."

"Oh really?" Kagome said, a bored sound edging her tone.

Inuyasha felt his patience breaking as he rose up in front of Kagome protectively as he broke the handlink. "She don't want you touchin' her, got it?" he growled.

Kagome felt her heart racing. There it was again, that pounding so deafening to herself she was sure Inuyasha could hear it. "I-Inuyasha!" she whispered, memories of the dream flooding her vision.

"You…you mutt! You do like Kagome and you're jealous that she likes me better than you!" Kouga said, amazed and shocked and angered. To be expected, I suppose.

Both Inuyasha's and Kagome's faces reddened at Kouga's comment. Both were having flashbacks of a fairytale they played big parts in. Inuyasha slowly turned his head to see if Kagome hated him. Their gaze held for a about a second before they both looked away, blushing about a thousand shades of red.

W-what was that? Kagome wondered. As soon as I met his gaze…it was like I sucked back into that dream. I was half-expecting him to kiss me, like in the dream! It's so hard to hold a steady look at him when I think about that dream! And…everything that happened…

Why the hell is it so hard to look at her? Inuyasha wondered angrily. It can't be that stupid dream last night…can it? Damnit…what if I can't ever face her again? They both sighed upon the remembrance of the end of the dream, where they shared a passionate kiss.

Kouga, Miroku, and Ayame watched the scene with different reactions.

Ayame: Man, I thought Kags hated all of the male gender, but heck, if she wants to go for the second hottest boy in school, more power to her!

Miroku: Something happened last night…I wonder how it came about? I was sure they hated each other…I wonder what Kagome looked like naked…I hope you were gentle with her, Inuyasha.

Kouga: Damn…damn…DAMN MUTT-FACE! HE PROBABLY FORCED MY KAGOME INTO DOING SOMETHING TONIGHT, AND NOW THEY'RE PLAYING SOME STUPID BLUSH GAME? HE IS GOING TO DIE AND KAGOME WILL BE MINE!

They were saved by the ring of the school bell.

Kagome sighed as she walked down the walk. I can't believe how hard it was to face that jerk all day…it was like, as soon as we did make eye contact, I wanted to…kiss him again. Is that strange?...Baka! Of course it is! He's a GUY, you HATE HIM. You do not want to KISS him. I think…I hope…

The situation really improved when they ran into each other while both trying to race out of the building and away from each other…and embarrassing events sure to follow.

They both fell to the floor, Inuyasha rubbing the back of his head, and Kagome rubbing the wrist she had landed on.

"Itai…mou, don't you have anything better to do than run into me all the time?" Inuyasha growled.

"Me? Baka! You were the one who ran into me that time!" Kagome snapped.

"No way, that was definitely you!" Inuyasha hissed.

"Then why are we BOTH on the floor?" Kagome challenged.

"Keh!" was all Inuyasha had to say.

Mou…I can't believe I was fantasizing a whole fall-in-love scene with him in Science today! Now I have double the homework! BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA!

"Whadda you so distressed about?" Inuyasha asked curiously, now completely in her face.

Kagome was swamped into her dream again when her lips were so close to Inuyasha's…she could practically taste that kiss again…so much she felt her eyes close.

Inuyasha felt it hard to resist as well, and started leaning into her. But just as they space between their lips was about to disappear…

"ACK!" Kagome screamed in pain when Inuyasha gingerly touched her wrist. He jumped back after her scream. His face reddened. Was I seriously going to kiss her?

Kagome was cradling her wrist, her face scrunched up in pain.

"D-daijoubu ka?" Inuyasha asked worriedly.

Kagome had a whole list of snappy retorts she could have explained, one after the other, but she merely shook her head in pain.

Inuyasha sighed and carefully took her wrist into his hand. Kagome yelped in pain, but held in another scream. He examined it carefully, and despite herself, Kagome felt her heart racing again at the feel of his touch.

"I can't really tell if it's broken or just badly sprained, we'll have to go to the infirmary." Inuyasha explained. Before either knew what the other was doing, Inuyasha had picked Kagome up bridal style and was carrying her down the halls to the nurse's office.

It wasn't necessary, they both knew. It wasn't like Kagome had hurt her ankle or anything, it was her wrist. Inuyasha just felt obligated to carry her there…you know. Kagome felt so warm and protected in his arms, she leaned into his chest without really knowing it. Whispers filled the hallways as the couple made their way. They didn't pay any mind, nor did they care. For a simple walk down the hallway, it was like all was right with the world.

"Rest here a bit, I have to go deliver something, you'll keep an eye on her, right, Inuyasha?" the nurse asked hurriedly as she began to exit the office.

Inuyasha nodded. "You can count on me."

"Excellent, I'll be back soon to examine her more closely." The nurse smiled before closing the door.

Kagome felt just a bit awkward in the small room, sitting on a bed, alone with Inuyasha. "A-anou…Inuyasha?" she began.

A mere grunt from the chair across the room was all she got in reply to let her know he had heard her.

"A-ari-" she sighed, taking a deep breath.

"What?" Inuyasha snapped impatiently.

Kagome stood and walked a little closer to him. "Arigatou." She said quietly, a pleasant smile gracing her face.

"W-what are you thanking me for?" Inuyasha hissed, looking away to hide a blush. Damn her for being cute when she smiles… "I'm probably the reason you got hurt like this…" he sighed, a wave of shame and guilt washing over him.

Kagome was in his face in a second. "I don't care if you got me hurt, baka, but you brought me here to help me, didn't you?" she said, a little annoyed.

Inuyasha fought the blush attempting to overwash him.

"That's why I'm thanking you." She sighed, waltzing casually over to the bed again and plopping herself down.

Inuyasha found himself next to her on the bed in a second. "So...you're not mad I hurt you?" he asked cautiously.

"Will you drop it already?" she groaned, looking straight at him. "H-how can I be mad…at you?" she asked, more to herself than him, but he heard anyway and the blush got to both of them.

Kagome leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. "I'm not mad. I'm grateful you looked out for me and brought me here." She whispered into his ear, still very close to him.

Both hearts were racing.

Kagome soon found herself pinned down on the small cot, Inuyasha above her, silver bangs that glittered in the sunlight shimmering through the window covering his eyes. "Inuyasha…" she murmured, her eyebrows furrowed.

She had been in this position before…but…where?

"Damnit…what the hell is it about you?" Inuyasha said quietly.

"Excuse me?" Kagome snapped.

"What's so different about you that I gotta have a damn romantic dream about you, huh? Why haven't I had a dream about the other girls I've dated, like Kikyou? Why did I have to have that sappy dream about you?" Inuyasha cried, revealing his shining golden eyes to her.

"You…had…a romantic dream…about…me?" Kagome murmured slowly, fitting the pieces together, one by one.

Inuyasha's face reddened at the position they were in. Hell, Kagome's did too. But that didn't stop Inuyasha from leaning in to the girl sprawled before him. And that didn't stop Kagome from closing her eyes to await whatever would happen.

Muwahahahah, awkard, romantic chapter! I love it. All it took was one dream…or did it? I think I can call this my first official cliffhanger…kinda…thingy…

This chapter was enjoyable to write. I remember how awkward it was for me to face the guy after having a dream about him and me making out XD it took a full week…and that was when the next dream hit.

I'm incorporating Shippo into the next chapter, I think. He has to show up SOMETIME, doesn't he?

*sigh* if only I were this lucky with the guy in my class…not that I want him to rip my wrist off or anything, but…y'know…

Please review! And…yeah!
