Sit Boy!

“Kagome,” whispered Inuyasha, “I’m here. Are you up?”
He jumped into her window, perching himself on the edge as he looked in at her. She was lying in bed, fast asleep, still wearing her school uniform. Inuyasha glared at her, his left ear in twitching in frustration.
For the past two weeks you say that you can’t come because you’ve got some kind of big important test. You tell me to come today so you can tell me what’s so great about it and what you got and you’re not even awake.
He examined her more closely and noticed that she was shivering slightly. As his eyes wandered down her body, he realized why.
Your skirt is high enough without you pulling it up in the middle of the night. You have the window open and you don’t even have your blanket on you. What were you thinking?
He stepped into her room and walked to the edge of her bed. He grabbed hold of her blanket and pulled it up over her body, wrapping it over her as tightly as he could without waking her up.
You’re going to end up getting sick you idiot.
“Inuyasha…”
Inuyasha jumped back when Kagome spoke and turned to face him, smiling as she pulled the cover up to her chin. Once he realized that she was fast asleep, Inuyasha laid on the bed on his side beside her, propping his own head up with hand as he looked at her.
Me? She wouldn’t shut up about that one guy at her school until this test had come around so why is she saying my name? Is she dreaming about me? If she is I better get out of here before she starts mumbling sit boy.
“Inuyasha,” said Kagome again, this time slightly whimpering, as if she was scared. “Don’t go. Help me.” She reached out, wrapping her arms around him and held him. Inuyasha jerked again and would have fallen off of the bed and onto the floor if it hadn’t been for the fact that Kagome had him in her grasp. He tried to get free of her grasp but, every time he got close to freedom, she began to stir and would grab tighter. After ten minutes with no success, he finally gave up, glaring at her.
“Fine,” mumbled Inuyasha, “have it your way. I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying right here. It’s not like I have a choice anyway.” She started smiling and he figured that his counterpart in her dreams was saying something along the same lines.
“Inuyasha,” she mumbled softly, “love…you”
What did you say!?
Inuyasha looked down at her, frozen by what she just said. She was dreaming, yes, but did that mean what she was saying was a lie. Maybe. Maybe not. He did feel something when she said it though. A pang inside. Something he hadn’t felt since he had Kikyo. He leaned his head down hesitantly, bringing his lips closer to hers. He kissed her, gently, wrapping his arms around her as well.

Kagome yawned and began blinking as the sun rose. She was about to stretch but stopped when she realized that something was poking the inside her leg. Her eyes opened wide and that’s when she realized that Inuyasha was in the bed, his arms wrapped around her. Once she put two and two together, she realized what it was that was poking her.
“INUYASA!”
“What,” he asked drowsily as he started waking up. “Why are you yelling at-” He shut up when he realized that there was something a bit different about his body this morning. He looked down, looked up, and then jumped out of the bed and stood in the middle of the room waving his hands trying to plead with her. “Kagome, it’s not what you think! I didn’t do anything! You were talking about how you loved me and then started grabbing on me and-”
“SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY! SIT BOY!”
