Inu-Yasha & Kagome
        a fanfic by Catherine Lynda Mallery
 
 

Inu-Yasha felt Kagome shiver under the blanket.  She was asleep, her raven hair fanned out across her face revealing little of her features.  Inu-Yasha sighed, wait what am I doing did I just sigh?  It's not like she's lying next to me because she wanted to, it's just because she's cold and would die otherwise.  Though he wouldn't admit even to himself that hurt a lot.  He wanted to have her fall asleep in his arms because she wanted to not because she had to.  Inu-Yasha settled down to sleep and if he were completely honest with himself and Kagome his last thought wouldn't have been I hope this storm never ends.

He's finally asleep I thought he'd never sleep.  He's the one who always says he'd rather die than fall asleep with me.  Jerk.  The little voice in the back of her head piped up with this thought and said this is kinda nice though.  Shut-up, Kagome told it and went back to sleep.

As the sun woke up the world the storm began to die.  Inu-Yasha could hear the slowing of the wind and thought with an ill concealed sigh It had to end sometime.  They really had been lucky to find this cabin in the middle of nowhere and even luckier to have found a blanket.  This area wasn't inhabited when I was a kid, in fact didn't the Miko at the last village say it nothing lived out here.  Inu-Yasha banished the thought as Kagome started to wake up.

"Hey girl you ready to go the storm is letting up," he said.  "No Inu-Yasha I am not ready to go and my name isn't girl." Kagome said with exasperation as she pulled herself out from under the blanket and into the cold of the cabin.  "You couldn't start a fire," Kagome asked accusingly.  "With what?!  There's nothing here but a shack, a Blanket, and you."  He doesn't even try.  "Whatever, lets go before the storm worsens again."  Now they were both angry and refused to talk to each other as they made their way back to the village.
