AN: Yo! Ah…it feels good to get back to writing again…*happy sigh* Curse school…we're in English and she's telling me "Be concise! When you write summaries, don't re-write the whole book!" and then I come here and everyone's like, "Make your chapters longer!" *sniffle* I actually went to a writing workshop a while ago taught by Denise Vega (now I feel bad for not reading any of her books…) and she loved when we were writing long and NOT being concise! (Plus my English teacher's fav saying is "Quality over Quantity!" which makes me want to throw a textbook)

Ahem, anyway…moving on. Music was Kelly Clarkson because I love her to death. And so many of her songs fit life perfectly, it's amazing! (Plus I'm getting her Breakaway album next weekend or around that time along with Ocean Eyes from Owl City! Eeeee!) So…I think I make these intros longer each chapter…

DISCLAIMER: I just own the plotline. So sad…

CHAPTER 4:

(RE-CAP BECAUSE EVERYONE LOVES THOSE:)

"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.

Kagome sighed as she walked home from school. It had been a week since the first dream, and her little mishap with Inuyasha. She groaned at the memory.

"I'm coming back in!" the nurse called from outside, and the two were separate in a moment, faces bright red. 'Damnit…' Inuyasha thought, 'so close…'

'I was so looking forward to a kiss, too…' Kagome sighed, rubbing her wrist in exasperation and making it a shade of red to match her face.

"My my, now you have a fever!" the nurse sighed, feeling Kagome's forehead. "Let me get some ice-" she froze when she saw Inuyasha. "For both of you." And she was out of the room again.

An eerie silence gripped the room. Neither spoke. Both were afraid to face each other, both afraid their hearts were racing so fast they would fall over dead from it. Both afraid their heartbeats were so loud the other could hear. It wasn't pleasant. The room stayed like that till the nurse returned with ice packs for both and finally ready to inspect Kagome's wrist.

"It seems you just twisted it badly, and in a week it should be good as new!" the nurse explained as she wrapped said wrist in bandages. Both Kagome and Inuyasha breathed a sigh of relief. "But just to be safe, I'll wrap it to protect it from further harm." The nurse explained. "Okay, that should do it. You're both free to go!"

That was it. Nothing happened. Nothing worth talking about, anyway. It was annoying, really. Mou…Kagome thought in exasperation, I must be going crazy. One romantic dream and I want to slobber all over him…ugh…

Inuyasha too, was having similar thoughts. This is ridiculous, she hates me, I hate her, that's all there is to it. Why do I want so much more?

On different ends of town, they opened their doors and fell onto their beds, not bothering with homework, dinner, anything. They just wanted to sleep to clear their minds.

"I'm telling you, Sango! It's the truth! Kagome and Inuyasha were acting like they were in love or something!" Ayame squealed over the phone to her friend. It was practically midnight, and neither had their algebra done.

"Yeah right, Ayame. If she were acting all lovey with any boys, it would be anyone BUT Inuyasha. The two have a hate-game going now." Sango sighed, tapping her pencil on her desk in frustration. She was so tempted to just circle the "x" in the problem "Find x". That would make it SO much easier…

"But it was so cute because Kouga was flirting with Kagome again and then Inuyasha popped in to break them up and then they were looking at each other and then they looked away blushing!" Ayame whined, problem 1 still undone in her notebook.

"Yes, you told me that already, Ayame." Sango groaned, shoving her math text to the ground in exhaustion. Curse you, math demon…the one I can't destroy with Hiraikotsu…if only I could…

"And then they didn't face each other for the rest of the week! Which made Geog really hard 'cause they're in a group together…" Ayame sighed, finishing yet another doodle of Kouga.

Sango fell silent for a moment. It was true, Kagome and Inuyasha had been playing some kind of blushing game every time they made eye contact, but she never really acknowledged it before. Now, she was starting to get worried. "Did we ever find out what happened to Kagome's wrist?" she asked, trying to avoid the subject and thinking some more at the same time. Her brain was throbbing in pain with math still swirling in her memory.

"Now that I think about it, no. But when she went to the infirmary that day, wasn't she with Inuyasha?" Ayame asked, her tone growing more serious.

"Now that I remember, yeah…in fact, if memory serves, he was carrying her there…" Sango gasped in rememberation.

"Oh my gosh that's right! But…she didn't hurt her leg or anything, did she? She was perfectly capable of walking there herself!" Ayame's eyes widened.

"I don't think it was anything but her wrist…you don't think Inuyasha was the one that hurt her, do you?" Sango asked nervously.

"I'll bet he was and that's why he was carrying her!" Ayame squealed in excitement. She wondered what happened in the small room with Kagome and Inuyasha…

"I wonder if anything happened in the infirmary that caused her and Inuyasha to act all strange lately." Sango wondered out loud.

"I wonder if they kissed!" Ayame squeaked, her pitch going higher.

"Easy, Ayame, my eardrums this late at night can only take so much…" Sango sighed, rubbing her ear. "Still, if they kissed, that would explain their strange behavior."

"EEEEEE!!! KAGOME KISSED A GUY!!!!" Ayame screamed.

"Ayame…" Sango snapped, ready to slam her cell shut at any moment.

"Sorry…" Ayame whispered, making sure her family outside hadn't heard.

"Now, we don't know for sure if that happened-" Sango began.

"But you just said that would explain their reactions to each other perfectly!" Ayame hissed angrily.

"Well, yeah, it could, but we don't for sure-"

"Then that's gotta be what happened! Kagome and Inuyasha kissed, and therefore whenever they face each other, they look away in embarrassment!" Ayame was getting more excited by the second. "Do you think he kissed her, or the other way around? It'd be so romantic to be kissed by someone who hurt you as an apology! And I bet Kagome kissed him as a sign of forgiveness! And I'll be the nurse was just in tears over it! Oh, I wish something like that would happen between me and Kouga…and I bet you're thinking of the same thing with Miroku and-"

That was the end of the line. "Ayame, I would be an absolute IDIOT to imagine anything like that happening between me and Miroku." Sango growled angrily, and she didn't know why she felt heat go to her cheeks when thinking of Miroku kissing her. God, was she going insane? Yup, that was it.

"Awww, Sango! Ya know ya want it!" Ayame hissed slyly.

"That's it, I'm hanging up!"

"But you said you'd help me with math!"

"You blew it, we never even got started!"

"That's because relationships are so much more interesting than schoolwork!"

"More interesting as they may be, I'm tired and I have training tomorrow."

"Training on a weekend?"

"Whether I like it or not."

"That sucks."

"What if I like it?"

"I still say it sucks."

"That's because all you do on Saturdays is draw pictures of and imagine fantasies with Kouga."

"Yeah, well, at least that's more productive than useless training."

"That's it, I'm really hanging up now."

"But Sango!"

"Ayame…"

"You said you'd help me!"

Sango fell silent. Then she sighed. "Fine, what problem are you on?"

"Yay! I love you, Sango!"

"Yeah yeah, what problem?"

"Number one!"

"…YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN STARTED YET?"

"I told you I needed help-"

"HELP, YEAH RIGHT! YOU JUST WANTED ME TO DO IT FOR YOU!"

"But Sango-"

"GOODNIGHT, AYAME!"

"You're mean!"

"…"

"I don't know why Miroku's so interested in you, you're so mean. He's so weird to keep coming back to you after you slap him."

"…"

"Sango?"

"The answer is 4.7123."

"YAY! I LOVE YOU!"

"Yes yes, I know."

Meh, inspiration wasn't really here. I needed another chapter to fill in space between dreams though, so I made a scene between Sango and Ayame to show what great friends they are! Aren't they, though? I really enjoy writing Ayame and Sango. They have such different personalities, it's hard to believe they're friends. So I make them XD

I might have the next chapter up sometime tonight along with TOHG because I feel the urge to write a dream scene today, and the second dream is really vivid in my mind today, so if I wait it may not be as good. So yeah, not my best chapter, but I hope you enjoy anyway!

Review please!
