It hurt and it smelled. Really bad. But as long as it was working who was she to complain? Kagome tried to lean as far away from the herbal medicine Inuyasha had concocted out in the woods from many different plants. The smell didn't seem to bother him much and he was the one with a sensitive nose.

Kagome felt her face turn green. "Ooh, I think I'm going to be sick."

Inuyasha scrunched his nose at her. "Don't be sick over here."

"Where do you suppose that I go to be sick?"

"Somewhere I'm not."

Kagome's face flamed. "You want me to hold it?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "Or you can swallow it."

Kagome's face went back to being green at the mental image he had provided for her. "Men can be so gross."

Inuyasha was too busy tending to her ankle to notice her comment. He wrapped her ankle with the red table cloth that he had previously shredded into smaller strips. He tied it securely into a knot and helped her put her sock and shoe back on.

"There you go. Good as new."

"You mean I can run and jump around?"
"Not right away."

"Then what good is this medicine if I can't walk around?"

"You have to give it time to work. It works but its not fast. Its not a miracle potion. You can put it on and expect to POOF run around and play."

Kagome's face puffed up.

"What's so funny?"

"Poof?"

Kagome busted out laughing at the simple word and Inuyasha just "Keh"ed and went about his business of packing everything up so they could head back to the resort.

"I have the list." Yoshiro bellowed.

"What list father?"

"The one with all the contestants competing in the dance competion and the talent show. I'm not surprised to see Inuyasha on the list. He's paired up with Kagome."

Kikyo looked up at Naraku then at the old man. "When did he sign up?"

"This morning. Why? You got a problem with him?"

"Not in particularly."

Yoshiro's eyes twinkled in understanding. "I see now. You and Inuyasha were partners once before and if I'm not mistaken you two were dating."

Kikyo got a defiant look in her eyes. "What happened in the past does not affect why I am here this summer. I simply came back to see how everyone was doing and to perhaps compete in this dance competion with Naraku. I doesn't matter to me if Inuyasha competes or not."

"Do you think you will beat him?"

Naraku scoffed. "Why wouldn't we? Inuyasha had paired himself with Kagome. I have had the opportunity to dance with her and I must say that she lacks dance skills. It will be a surprise if she doesn't trip over her own feet in the competition."

"I wouldn't underestimate Inuyasha as a dance teacher my son. He is pretty impresssive."

"Inuyasha may be an excellent teacher but what could he possibly teach that girl in less than two weeks? From the rumors I have heard around the resort the two of them have been on and off. We won't have a thing to worry about." Kikyo cut in.

"You two seem pretty confident about this. I wish you the best of luck. If you will excuse me." Yoshiro bowed and left.

"Does Inuyasha pose a problem?" Naraku asked.

"Do you feel the need to intercept? He is a capable dancer and if he wanted he could help Kagome how to dance better with different techniques."

"What do you plan on doing?"

Kikyo smirked. "Let me worry about Inuyasha. Do what you can with Kagome. It would be suspicious if I just showed up and talked with her."

Naraku nodded.

Guests scurried by the auditorium in fear and for the safety of their lives. Loud banging and crashing rang throughout the once quiet auditorium. Inuyasha ran for his life from none other than a extremely pissed off Sango. She had begun her persuit when he first entered the auditorium to talk with Miroku. Maybe it was a mistake to drop Kagome off at her cabin before he met up with the others.

"Come Sango! Kagome is ok. I didn't touch her!" Well, a little lie wouldn't hurt.

"You took her into the woods and had your way with her!" Sango yelled chasing Inuyasha across the stage.

Miroku sat on one of the benches happily munching away on perfectly popped popcorn. He would save Inuyasha later. Why would he want to become the object of his girlfriend's wrath when she wanted to beat up someone else? He popped another mouthful of the popped kernels as Inuyasha and Sango ran across the stage again. Miroku watched as Kagome plopped down beside looking refreshed.

Miroku grinned. "Hey Kagome. Enjoy your time with Inuyasha?"

Kagome blushed. "I guess you could say that."

Miroku leaned in close. "You didn't do anything I wouldn't do, did you?"

"I know for a fact that you haven't gotten past kissing with a girl."

Miroku feigned hurt and placed his hand over his heart. "Your words wound me."

"Tough. What are you doing?"

"Watching a play."

"Oh really? What play?"

"Polverized Puppy."

Kagome looked at Miroku with an confused expression dancing across her features. "I'v never heard of that."

"Its new."

"Oh."

Inuyasha ran across the stage again with Sango still in chase wielding a coat hanger.

"That the play?"

"Yeah. Popcorn?" Miroku asked as he offered his popcorn.

Kagome took a handul. "Sure."

**********

Inuyasha huffed as he rotated his shoulders. "I can't believe you didn't save me Kagome."

"Its not like she was going to kill you."

"I beg to differ."

"At least you got a work out."

Inuyasha ruffled her hair. "You better be glad you're cute."

Kagome pushed his hand away and crossed her arms. "Is that the only reason you're dating me?"

"So far its your only advantage. You're clumsy, not very intelligent, overly sensitive.." Inuyasha continuted to tick some of her negative attributes on his fingers.

Kagome started to walk away. How could he say those things about her? Sure she was a little clumsy. Who wasn't? Sure she wasn't intelligent but then again, she wasn't a genius either. Her grades were above the rest of her class. As for overly sensitive. She didn't see it. She wasn't like some of the other girls in her class that would cry over nothing, like a boyfriend, and she didn't particularly care about starting any rumors or drama. She went to school to do her work and let her friends worry about boys and other things that the world had to offer. Kagome lived her life one day at a time and that was satisfactory to her.

Inuyasha caught Kagome's movement out of the corner of his eye and smelt her mood falter. With cat like reflexes he grabbed hold of her shoulder and turned her around to face him.

"You know I was just kidding."

"Sure."

"You don't believe me?"

"Maybe."

"You like giving those one worded sarcastic answers?"

"Love."

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and twirled her around. "Well, my lovely, are you ready to get back to dancing?"

"Yes."

"Good." Inuyasha smiled as he leaned down and kissed her firmly on the lips.

"INUYASHA! YOU"RE A DEAD MAN WALKING!"

Kagome looked towards Sango who was running at them. When Kagome looked back to the spot Inuyasha was just occupying, he was gone. Before she could look back at Sango, said girl was already hot on Inuyasha's heels, swinging a rather large boomerang. Miroku walked up to Kagome.

"Where did she get that?"

"Props room."

"Oh. He's dead, isn't he?"

"Yep."

"Oh well. It was nice while it lasted. Want to join me for dinner?"

"Why of course I would." Miroku held out his arm for Kagome and she linked her arm in his. The two headed for the dining hall. Sango and Inuyasha would soon join them.

Kikyo watched from her spot near the door at the utter stupidity of the four teenagers.

"I'll get you Inuyasha."
