I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA! HE IS PROPERTY OF RUMIKO TAKAHASHI, I just like to torment them and watch them suffer angst and endless love stories...
BUT I DO OWN MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS: Kagome's short black skirt, Kagome's short shorts, Professor Ibuki Matsumoto and a few others that will be mentioned later on.
Written by me, edited by me, I am also my own beta reader, if you find something that needs be corrected let me know!
Also, if you are interested in being my beta, please inform me! :-)
*Note: I have read my fair share of Inuyasha Fan fiction, and still have not found anything compared to what I am brewing up, but if you feel your story has been compromised by my storyline, please inform me, I am in no way trying to plagerise anybody, period.*

I was listening to "Fireflight - Wrapped in your arms" for the first part when they wake up.
Then to "Safri Duo - Baya Baya" when Kagome goes skating.
And finally the girls are trying to learn a choreography to "Enur ft. Natasja - Calabria" (I love that song!)

Kagome slowly awoke to a hypnotic heartbeat, frowning just a bit when the sunlight crawled into the bed and subsequently onto her face. She groaned “late morning already? The night didn’t last long enough…”
She pouted and cuddled closer to her “pillow” frowning, “my rather lumpy pillow” she squeezed it, trying to work the lumps out so she could continue dozing off. The “pillow” smelled different also, normally her bed sheets and pillows smelled like the floral fabric softener her mother liked to use on her clothes, but it didn’t smell like that, it smelled like…like a the woods in Sengoku Jidai right after it rains, with just a tinge of mint, “it smells just like Inuyasha. So then Inuyasha came back from the past and slept on my bed? Maybe he was really tired?” she smiled to herself, and cuddled closer to the “pillow” that reminded her of his scent.
Then the “pillow” moaned, her eyes shot open, “a pillow does not moan!” she was struck with a good view of the compromising position they were in, Inuyasha laid on his side with his arm and leg pinning her where she slept, her arm was around his torso and her face was buried in his chest. She tried moving her head up to see if he was sleeping, “just barely, he is about to wake up! I got to do something quick; he can’t see me cuddled up to him like this!”
She tried extricating herself from his iron grip but to no avail, “I’m so dead!”
Inuyasha awoke to the sweet scent that could only be described as Kagome all around him, clouding his senses melting him into a puddle of goo. He sighed, then it registered that he was curled up to something soft, he opened his eyes and with a start he realized just who he was curled up with, “Holy fuck! Just how did I end up curled up to Kagome?”
She was awake her scent made him aware of that, she was awake and surprised but not mad. He cuddled her closer and ran his chin affectively over her head. “I wish I could wake up like this everyday in her arms…”
A few awkward moments passed when she decided to look at him, just her curious grey eyes peaked over his chest silently asking him what he was doing there, he allowed a small smile as he twitched his ears bashfully a hint of pink graced his cheeks. Kagome studied his face she could not find a hint of the look that he gave her when he was about to lie to her or say something expletive. She mumbled a good morning, and he replied in kind.
“’morning Inuyasha”
“Good morning wench” Her right eye narrowed dangerously, “out of all the nice things you could have say you call me a wench?”
Inuyasha scoffed, “you should now that I used that as a complement to you by now!”
She gasped, “A complement? You mean that calling me a wench means it’s a complement? Am I that ugly to you?”
Inuyasha chose that moment to unwind from her embrace and sat on the edge of the bed, his chin in his hand almost pensive. She exploded, “well aren’t you going to say anything else? I haven’t been able to see you for two weeks and what I get is a good morning wench?!”
He frowned, and looked at her from the corner of her eye, “actually I was going to give this to you too but you were asleep last night, and I didn’t want to wake you…” He reached for his wallet, courtesy of Mrs. Higurashi and pulled out a reservation card for “L’ Pomodoro Ristorante” which was the Italian restaurant her father used to take the family to when she was a child. “How did he know about this restaurant? Mama must have been to one to tell him about it.”
“Inuyasha, are you asking me out on a date?” she asked wide-eyed clutching the reservation card to her chest possessively. He nodded, “Dinner today at five sounds good to you?” she blushed, self-consciousness creeping up on her as she realized her state of undress. “It sounds ok, now will you tell me how we ended up in the same bed?”
“Later wench later, I have stuff to do…” and with that he picked up his wallet and walked out the door towards god knows where. She stumbled out of bed and ran for the door, screaming at him to come back and explain himself, “Inuyasha get back here you have some 'splaining to do! If you don’t stop I’ll say it! Inuyasha Osu-!”
But she was cut off by her mother who peaked out the kitchen and wished her a good morning. “Oh hello dear, did you sleep well? Breakfast is ready if you want to eat before your bath.” Kagome blushed under her mother’s knowing gaze and headed back to her room, she needed to blow off some steam and do some cardio. So she pulled out a pair of white hot pants, a blue spaghetti strap top and a pair of long colorful socks to wear her in-line skates with. Running her fingers thru her hair she decided on a ponytail to keep her hair away from her face, snatching her iPod off her desk to check if it was charged enough she walked downstairs, she entered the kitchen kissed her mother good morning and grabbed a pork hampao her mother made for breakfast today along with a glass of juice she then sat on the bench in the genkan and dusted off her skates testing to see if the wheels were functional.
Keiko watched her daughter walk around the genkan deep in thought as she had a light breakfast. Hearing her open the door and announce she was leaving she gestured for Inuyasha to come out of hiding, “It’s safe now Inuyasha, she left. May I ask what happened up there?”
He huffed and stabbed a hampao with his claw, “She found me sleeping next to her…” Keiko graced him with a knowing look. She trusted them both and they both were adults now, so they could decide what happened and when on their own. If they decided to be intimate before getting married that was none of her business. She would only interfere in their relationship if she saw the situation was getting out hand and would turn out as heartbreak for both of them.
“It’s alright dear, you are both old enough to know when it needs to happen between you two, why are you acting as if Kagome just kicked your puppy?” his ears flattened on his head, he knew the pun was not intended, it was only a manner of speech. “She called me on why I have not been around lately.”
Mrs. Higurashi hummed to herself smiling knowingly, “did you tell her why?” he shook his head the negative. “No, but I did give her the reservation card for the restaurant you told me to take her to.”
“Did she accept it?” He nodded. “Don’t worry Inuyasha, she will get over it soon enough, but it would be a good idea to tell her where you have been. She will understand everything once you tell her.”
He nodded absent-mindedly as he ate another pork roll.

Kagome quickly descended the steps that lead to the shrine and sat on the bench at the bottom of the large staircase so she could put on her skates. She plugged the earphones in the mp3 device and placed the earbuds in her ears as she concentrated on the task to of strapping on the skates and tying them firmly, least happen that she have an accident by tripping over her own laces.
Baba Baya, baba baiayaaaaaa….
The harmonious beat of drums swelled through her mind as she pushed off the bench and started her first lap around the blocks’ side walk. Her hips swaying sensually in beat with the song as she felt her body unwind; she brought her hands up to stretch doing a little dance to the catchy rhythm. Nodding her head to the beat as she pumped her legs to go faster she smiled as she did a little two step and hooked her arm around the street light to turn in the other direction.
Baba Baya, baba baiayaaaaaa….
The wind caressed her face and tousled her long hair, she crouched a bit to gain speed, a fine layer of sweat already covering her body, the sun was particularly blazing today, She wiped her forehead with her hand mentally cursing the fact that she forgot to bring a water bottle along with her.
Inuyasha watched as if he were in a trance, after Mrs. Higurashi told him that it was best to go find Kagome and explain things to her, he set off in search of her only to be captivated by the sight of her in a shirt with no sleeves, “a top she calls them” and a dangerously tight pair of white short shorts that barely covered the top of thighs. He licked his lips hungrily as she crouched apparently to gain more speed and then rose pumping her legs again, it truly was a sight to behold, her hair mused, her whole body covered in delicious sweat, his inner beast purred appreciatively when her breasts bounced as she wiped the perspiration from her forehead.
Then it happened, a truck that was parked on the curb in front of the local corner store pulled out in front of Kagome she didn’t see it on time to avoid it since she was distracted by the music pounding in her ears but she tried swerving out of the trucks’ way onto the street but a cab was about to clipped her hip she closed her eyes and screamed bloody murder. Inuyasha bounded down the stairs, the cab driver which was furiously trying to brake and swerve away from hurting her only saw a glimpse of silver and black and soon after the girl was out of harms way. Inuyasha held her close as she tried to gain control of her thundering heart.
Kagome clutched the front of his shirt in despair. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, he had saved her again, as always Inuyasha always appeared when she was about to be killed. Kagome brushed her bangs out of her eyes and timidly caressed his cheek, he blinked she did also, he tilted his head towards hers asking her if she was alright.
“Are you alright wench?” She nodded and fixed her eyes on his lips, she remembered the kiss they shared at the well when he told her he cared about her and suddenly she wanted to feel the warmth of his breath against her lips. She pulled him closer, just as they were centimeters away from joining their lips somebody decided to interrupt.
“Excuse me Ms.? I said are you O.K.?” Kagome blinked seeing the truck driver for the first time, as he inquired about her well being. “I said that if you are hurt I can take you to the hospital which is not far from here.” Kagome shook her head, “No thank you Sir, I am fine, I’m just a little startled that is all.” The truck driver sighed gratefully and went back to moving his truck. She looked back at Inuyasha which was still holding her protectively around the waist, she blushed and he pulled away and crouched in front of her, “Let’s get you back to the house, you look like you need to calm down.”
She silently climbed on his back minding her heavy skates and held on while he reached the top of steps in a few seconds. He carried her to the entry of the genkan, not trusting her with the stone path towards the house. She thanked him as she stripped off her skates and ran upstairs to take a bathe. Inuyasha then realized that she had left him wanting to explain his absence for the last couple of weeks.
“The wench did it again; she left me wanting to explain why I have been absent lately, oh well I guess I will just tell her at dinner today then…”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- ----------((-@
Kagome ran straight up to the bathroom and locked herself inside trying to escape the jumbled emotions that currently invaded her head, anger due to dog boy’s disappearing act, the need to feel his lips on hers, uncertainty as to what the future entitled for them both. She stripped out of her minimal clothing and turned on the shower letting the cold water cool her frayed nerves she wondered about what the future held in store for them. “Just what will be the outcome of all of this Inuyasha? What will happen between us?”
She was interrupted by a knock on the door, “Kagome dear, are you almost done?” she sighed her morning baths were always cut short by another member of her family, that was one of the incommodities that living at a shrine entailed, the house was ancient, and only had one bathroom but it did have four bedrooms. “Weird, I wonder why Mama never had another bathroom put in.”
Her mother knocked on the door again, “Kagome? Are you alright in there, your grandfather needs to use the bathroom…”
“Yes mama, almost out!” She turned the off the shower faucet and dried herself quickly, making sure there were no water puddles on the tiled floor so her grandfather would not slip she exited the bathroom and rapidly entered the safety of her room.
She dressed in her workout slacks and sneakers that the art school provided her with and packed the extra for Sango in a duffle bag. Then she pulled out the cd with the first mix they had to dance to and packed all the batteries she could find for her mini stereo. Kagome combed the tangles out of her hair and braided it pinning her long bangs back also. She ran to the well house and jumped in the time slip eager to workout with Sango. Inuyasha watched her run towards the well house from the safety of the Goshinboku perched on the highest branch so not to be seen.
“There she goes again parading around in those shorts, “ Then the thought struck him, “she is going to the village dressed in those scandalously short shorts, and t-shirt and Miroku will be there, Miroku will be there to ogle her! Shit! God Dammit Kagome!”
Inuyasha bounded down the tree, across the courtyard, thru the well and ran to the village just before Kagome reached Sango’s hut, pulling a surprised Miroku out of his meditation stance pinning him to the side of the hut that belonged to the married couple.
“Argh! Inuyasha what in the world are you doing, can’t you see I was meditating?” But he was cut short by the wonderful sight of an extended amount of thigh both Kagome and Sango exhibited in their matching workout sweats. “My dear friend please be so kind thank Lady Kagome on my behalf, if I die today I shall die a happy man.”
Inuyasha couldn’t help but grind his teeth together pulling the monk farther away from the oblivious girls. “Can it monk! Don’t look at Kagome!” Miroku placed his hands up in mock defense, “surely Inuyasha you would also want to know what they are up to?” Inuyasha sighed mentally berating himself from agreeing to the monk’s hair-brained idea; Inuyasha sulked against the hut letting his gaze wander towards the hypnotic sway of Kagome’s hips. Miroku allowed them to ascend the shrine steps then started to walk in the same direction. The hanyou followed after him, securing a hidden stake out point so not to be found or detected by the girls.
They sat there for the whole three hours Kagome had dedicated to showing Sango what a grind, a twist and a sexy twirl was. The interesting part was when they started piecing together the steps of the choreography to the music Kagome had bought along with her, each movement she made was bringing Inuyasha’s inner beast to the surface, and he left an elaborate pair of claw marks on the hardwood floor of the shrine as evidence.
He licked his lips as a drop of sweat traced it’s way down the column of her neck between her delicate shoulder blades, through the barrier of her sports bra and disappeared in the plump roundness of heaven underneath the waistband of her shorts. Then the music came to an end, and they started stretching, which meant they were done. Miroku had to joust Inuyasha out of his daze and they exited the shrine grounds quietly without being found by the girls.
When they arrived outside the hut Inuyasha saw that Miroku was currently wiping a trail of drool that had somehow escaped his mouth to trail down his chin and had also ended up with a nosebleed. Inuyasha corked an eyebrow and pulled him a foot off the ground by the front of his robes, “Listen carefully to me monk, not a word to be said to either of them or to anyone in the village of this, is that understood?” Miroku could only nod as he kept displaying that stupid grin on his face the whole time. “The monk is as good as dead; Sango will tell he saw everything, look at him he looks like a puddle of slobbering goo!”
He heard the girls coming closer to the hut and quickly threw Miroku inside and ran for the well, Kagome could not find him in this place, less she finds out he had watched the whole while as she had been dancing sensually at the shrine with Sango. He made quick work of jumping out of the well, running towards the main house and jumping up the steps ignoring Mrs. Higurashi’s questions for his sanity and slamming the door to the bathroom shut.
His breathing was quick and the fact that all the blood that should be in his brain had pooled at some point below the waist. He was painfully hard which made the simple task of walking seem weird. He stripped out of his clothes and turned on the cold water as he crumpled against the shower wall. His erection was not going anywhere any time soon come hell or high water, so he had to make it go away. He leaned toward the wall in front of him and started pumping himself as he thought of her delicious scent, of her voluptuous body, her defined curves, her intoxicating scent, his movements became strained he was close, he thought of he warm lips against his, her body heat pressed against his on the bed while asleep that thought allowed him to find his release, the creamy fluid that had been sprayed on the wall was now dripping slowly to join the churning water down the drain. He cleansed the rest of it away with his hands least they find evidence of his bath time activities and lathered himself in a thick layer of soap then washed his hair with Kagome’s shampoo.
When he exited the shower he found a spare towel on top of the hamper that Mrs. Higurashi always left for him and dried off. He wrapped himself in the towel then walked toward the extra room downstairs where he slept in on the nights he was too tired to reach Kagome’s room. When he opened the door he found a clean set of clothes on hanger that consisted of black dress slacks and matching long sleeve dress shirt, plaid boxers and dark socks for underwear, a black leather belt and black dress shoes. He dressed quickly and combed his fingers thru his hair walking towards the front door so not to be seen by Kagome, but Mrs. Higurashi called him on the way out and almost succeeded in blinding him with a bright light, she had taken a picture of him.
Seeing the way his hair was knotted together in some areas she called him over to sit in a chair and combed his hair with a brush, then she pulled a headband the same color of his hair out of her pocket and tucked his ears underneath it, whoever saw him tonight would think that he either dyed his hair that color or he was a “halfu” his ears would be the least of troubles tonight. “Mrs. Higurashi but how did you get all of this for me?” She smiled as she rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt deciding he looked too formal all buttoned down. “With the money you gave me of course…now go to the corner shop and get some flowers to impress her, but don’t go climbing any trees you’ll ruin your slacks!”
Inuyasha had decided to allow Kagome's mother to manage his paychecks and told her to take some for the food and stuff that were needed around the house. Of course Mrs. Higurashi had other ideas on how to use the money and went out and bought him a decent amount of new clothes that he could mix and match if he need to. She pulled out some bills from her apron and asked him for his wallet, she gave him enough money to take Kagome out to dinner, and maybe something else.
Inuyasha smiled eagerly and walked out of the house to comply with Mrs. Higurashi's advice.

Japanese Dictionary:
Genkan: it's the space located immidiately after you enter a traditional Japanese house or apartment. It is decorated with plants and cubby holes where you may store your shoes and change into house slippers. It is furnished with a bench or chairs and the floors are hardwood, most of the times the floor to the rest of the house is labeled with a pronounced step as to remind new comers that you cannot enter with your street shoes.
Hampao: It is actually a chinese delicacy served for Dim Sam which is chinese breakfast. A Hampao is made of rich white flour and is filled with pre-cooked and seasoned chopped pork that is dyed red and placed in the middle of a flat sheet of said dough and them rolled to achieve a round shape then it is steamed to bake the dough into white bread. A very tasty treat it's one of my favorites.
Halfu/Hafu: Person of mixed Japanese heritage. Most of the time they are Japanese-American and have distinguishing features as almond shaped eyes and blond or light colored hair.
L' Pomodoro Ristorante: Italian for The Pomodoro Restaurant. I am not sure it exists in Japan but it does in Panama, which is where I am from, its my favorite restaurant, they serve some sinful Alfredo fettuccini there.
Author's Notes:
I want to take the time to thank my first reviewers: arizonasiren, Robbie111, inuyasha67777 (thank you for your encouraging words!), Billy324, Rocky road, MikoPrincess16, and Lunabell. (I apologize if my choice of music is tacky, lol, but current date songs are to emo-emotional for my taste sometimes. I am an eclectic person and I listed to a little bit of everything, but my favorite music is anything the 80's. It does not mean that I won't use a catchy song at some point, but I normally aim for my favorite songs which inspire me and my muse).
Thank you all for your support, your words are as precious as gold to me. Please continue in letting me know in what I may improve to be a better author and how to make the plot more interesting, I'm open to any type of ideas!
I feel the need to clarify that the story is set at current date and time, having the battle with Naraku end in the summer of year 2006 which was three years ago.

Inuyasha bounded down the stairs, the cab driver which was furiously trying to brake and swerve away from hurting her only saw a glimpse of silver and black and soon after the girl was out of harms way. Inuyasha held her close as she tried to gain control of her thundering heart.
Kagome clutched the front of his shirt in despair. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, he had saved her again, as always Inuyasha always appeared when she was about to be killed. Kagome brushed her bangs out of her eyes and timidly caressed his cheek, he blinked she did also, he tilted his head towards hers asking her if she was alright.
“Are you alright wench?” She nodded and fixed her eyes on his lips, she remembered the kiss they shared at the well when he told her he cared about her and suddenly she wanted to feel the warmth of his breath against her lips. She pulled him closer, just as they were centimeters away from joining their lips somebody decided to interrupt.
“Excuse me Ms.? I said are you O.K.?” Kagome blinked seeing the truck driver for the first time, as he inquired about her well being. “I said that if you are hurt I can take you to the hospital which is not far from here.” Kagome shook her head, “No thank you Sir, I am fine, I’m just a little startled that is all.” The truck driver sighed gratefully and went back to moving his truck. She looked back at Inuyasha which was still holding her protectively around the waist, she blushed and he pulled away and crouched in front of her, “Let’s get you back to the house, you look like you need to calm down.”
She silently climbed on his back minding her heavy skates and held on while he reached the top of steps in a few seconds. He carried her to the entry of the genkan, not trusting her with the stone path towards the house. She thanked him as she stripped off her skates and ran upstairs to take a bathe. Inuyasha then realized that she had left him wanting to explain his absence for the last couple of weeks.
“The wench did it again; she left me wanting to explain why I have been absent lately, oh well I guess I will just tell her at dinner today then…”

Kagome ran straight up to the bathroom and locked herself inside trying to escape the jumbled emotions that currently invaded her head, anger due to dog boy’s disappearing act, the need to feel his lips on hers, uncertainty as to what the future entitled for them both. She stripped out of her minimal clothing and turned on the shower letting the cold water cool her frayed nerves she wondered about what the future held in store for them. “Just what will be the outcome of all of this Inuyasha? What will happen between us?”
She was interrupted by a knock on the door, “Kagome dear, are you almost done?” she sighed her morning baths were always cut short by another member of her family, that was one of the incommodities that living at a shrine entailed, the house was ancient, and only had one bathroom but it did have four bedrooms. “Weird, I wonder why Mama never had another bathroom put in.”
Her mother knocked on the door again, “Kagome? Are you alright in there, your grandfather needs to use the bathroom…”
“Yes mama, almost out!” She turned the off the shower faucet and dried herself quickly, making sure there were no water puddles on the tiled floor so her grandfather would not slip she exited the bathroom and rapidly entered the safety of her room.
She dressed in her workout slacks and sneakers that the art school provided her with and packed the extra for Sango in a duffle bag. Then she pulled out the cd with the first mix they had to dance to and packed all the batteries she could find for her mini stereo. Kagome combed the tangles out of her hair and braided it pinning her long bangs back also. She ran to the well house and jumped in the time slip eager to workout with Sango. Inuyasha watched her run towards the well house from the safety of the Goshinboku perched on the highest branch so not to be seen.
“There she goes again parading around in those shorts, “ Then the thought struck him, “she is going to the village dressed in those scandalously short shorts, and t-shirt and Miroku will be there, Miroku will be there to ogle her! Shit! God Dammit Kagome!”
Inuyasha bounded down the tree, across the courtyard, thru the well and ran to the village just before Kagome reached Sango’s hut, pulling a surprised Miroku out of his meditation stance pinning him to the side of the hut that belonged to the married couple.
“Argh! Inuyasha what in the world are you doing, can’t you see I was meditating?” But he was cut short by the wonderful sight of an extended amount of thigh both Kagome and Sango exhibited in their matching workout sweats. “My dear friend please be so kind thank Lady Kagome on my behalf, if I die today I shall die a happy man.”
Inuyasha couldn’t help but grind his teeth together pulling the monk farther away from the oblivious girls. “Can it monk! Don’t look at Kagome!” Miroku placed his hands up in mock defense, “surely Inuyasha you would also want to know what they are up to?” Inuyasha sighed mentally berating himself from agreeing to the monk’s hair-brained idea; Inuyasha sulked against the hut letting his gaze wander towards the hypnotic sway of Kagome’s hips. Miroku allowed them to ascend the shrine steps then started to walk in the same direction. The hanyou followed after him, securing a hidden stake out point so not to be found or detected by the girls.
They sat there for the whole three hours Kagome had dedicated to showing Sango what a grind, a twist and a sexy twirl was. The interesting part was when they started piecing together the steps of the choreography to the music Kagome had bought along with her, each movement she made was bringing Inuyasha’s inner beast to the surface, and he left an elaborate pair of claw marks on the hardwood floor of the shrine as evidence.
He licked his lips as a drop of sweat traced it’s way down the column of her neck between her delicate shoulder blades, through the barrier of her sports bra and disappeared in the plump roundness of heaven underneath the waistband of her shorts. Then the music came to an end, and they started stretching, which meant they were done. Miroku had to joust Inuyasha out of his daze and they exited the shrine grounds quietly without being found by the girls.
When they arrived outside the hut Inuyasha saw that Miroku was currently wiping a trail of drool that had somehow escaped his mouth to trail down his chin and had also ended up with a nosebleed. Inuyasha corked an eyebrow and pulled him a foot off the ground by the front of his robes, “Listen carefully to me monk, not a word to be said to either of them or to anyone in the village of this, is that understood?” Miroku could only nod as he kept displaying that stupid grin on his face the whole time. “The monk is as good as dead; Sango will tell he saw everything, look at him he looks like a puddle of slobbering goo!”
He heard the girls coming closer to the hut and quickly threw Miroku inside and ran for the well, Kagome could not find him in this place, less she finds out he had watched the whole while as she had been dancing sensually at the shrine with Sango. He made quick work of jumping out of the well, running towards the main house and jumping up the steps ignoring Mrs. Higurashi’s questions for his sanity and slamming the door to the bathroom shut.
His breathing was quick and the fact that all the blood that should be in his brain had pooled at some point below the waist. He was painfully hard which made the simple task of walking seem weird. He stripped out of his clothes and turned on the cold water as he crumpled against the shower wall. His erection was not going anywhere any time soon come hell or high water, so he had to make it go away. He leaned toward the wall in front of him and started pumping himself as he thought of her delicious scent, of her voluptuous body, her defined curves, her intoxicating scent, his movements became strained he was close, he thought of he warm lips against his, her body heat pressed against his on the bed while asleep that thought allowed him to find his release, the creamy fluid that had been sprayed on the wall was now dripping slowly to join the churning water down the drain. He cleansed the rest of it away with his hands least they find evidence of his bath time activities and lathered himself in a thick layer of soap then washed his hair with Kagome’s shampoo.
When he exited the shower he found a spare towel on top of the hamper that Mrs. Higurashi always left for him and dried off. He wrapped himself in the towel then walked toward the extra room downstairs where he slept in on the nights he was too tired to reach Kagome’s room. When he opened the door he found a clean set of clothes on hanger that consisted of black dress slacks and matching long sleeve dress shirt, plaid boxers and dark socks for underwear, a black leather belt and black dress shoes. He dressed quickly and combed his fingers thru his hair walking towards the front door so not to be seen by Kagome, but Mrs. Higurashi called him on the way out and almost succeeded in blinding him with a bright light, she had taken a picture of him.
Seeing the way his hair was knotted together in some areas she called him over to sit in a chair and combed his hair with a brush, then she pulled a headband the same color of his hair out of her pocket and tucked his ears underneath it, whoever saw him tonight would think that he either dyed his hair that color or he was a “halfu” his ears would be the least of troubles tonight. “Mrs. Higurashi but how did you get all of this for me?” She smiled as she rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt deciding he looked too formal all buttoned down. “With the money you gave me of course…now go to the corner shop and get some flowers to impress her, but don’t go climbing any trees you’ll ruin your slacks!”
Inuyasha had decided to allow Kagome's mother to manage his paychecks and told her to take some for the food and stuff that were needed around the house. Of course Mrs. Higurashi had other ideas on how to use the money and went out and bought him a decent amount of new clothes that he could mix and match if he need to. She pulled out some bills from her apron and asked him for his wallet, she gave him enough money to take Kagome out to dinner, and maybe something else.
Inuyasha smiled eagerly and walked out of the house to comply with Mrs. Higurashi's advice.

Author's Notes:
I want to take the time to thank my first reviewers: arizonasiren, Robbie111, inuyasha67777 (thank you for your encouraging words!), Billy324, Rocky road, MikoPrincess16, and Lunabell. (I apologize if my choice of music is tacky, lol, but current date songs are to emo-emotional for my taste sometimes. I am an eclectic person and I listed to a little bit of everything, but my favorite music is anything the 80's. It does not mean that I won't use a catchy song at some point, but I normally aim for my favorite songs which inspire me and my muse).
Thank you all for your support, your words are as precious as gold to me. Please continue in letting me know in what I may improve to be a better author and how to make the plot more interesting, I'm open to any type of ideas!
I feel the need to clarify that the story is set at current date and time, having the battle with Naraku end in the summer of year 2006 which was three years ago.
