Kagome sighed, hauling her overly stuffed yellow backpack out of the well.

A red-clad figure jumped out of a nearby tree to meet her.

'Bout time you got here! what took you so long?' InuYasha exclaimed

'As a matter of fact, I had some important tests to do! Thanks to all the time that I spend here, I

miss so much school that I'm probably going to fail any way!' Kagome shouted, having finally

pulled herself out of the well.

'Then whats the point in doing them?' InuYasha said.

Just then, Miroku entered the scene, and upon spotting Kagome proclaimed 'Why hello there

Kagome! How are you?'

'I'm fine, Miroku!' Kagome replied, suddenly pretending that InuYasha wasn't there.

'Hey! Dont you ignore me! I'm still talking to you!' InuYasha shouted.

Kagome just turned and walked away, with Miroku hurryng along in her wake.

When the two got to Kaedes hut, they where greeted with cheerful smiles and lunch.

Kagome sat down next to Sango, who said 'hey Kagome! how did your 'tests' go?'

'Not very well --'

InuYasha suddenly burst in the door, grabbed a bowl of lunch, and moodily sat down next to

kagome.

'Sango, I think I failed nearly all of them.' Continued Kagome, acting as if nothing had happened.

'Kagome?' InuYasha asked.

Kagome continued ignoring InuYasha.

Kaede walked in holding some herbs from outside.

‗KAGOME!' InuYasha shouted, moving right in front of Kagome.

'Hello Kaede! Would you like to SIT down? you look very tired!' Kagome said, and on cue,

InuYasha plummeted to the ground.

'Why does she do this to me?' InuYasha mumbled into the splintered wood, the necklace still

holding him down.

'Aye, child. These weary bones are not ment to work so hard.' Kaede replied with a sigh.

The necklace released InuYasha, who sat up, looked Kagome in the eye, and started saying;

‗KagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagome-‗

Miroku took the distraction as a great oppitunity to --

Sango tipped her entire scalding hot bowl of stew over Miroku.

'Ah, my dear Sango, how you misunderstand my intentions! I was merely --'

'Merely what?' Sango replied, with a dangerous glint in her eye.

'Merely, merely, um, reaching past you to get my bowl of stew!' proclaimed Miroku.

'You mean that one that is in your hand, monk?' Sango said, reaching for her Hirikotsu.

'Now now, we must not resort to violence, my dear Sango!' Miroku said nervously, eyeing the

massive weapon, having been on the recieving end many times before.

'-KagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKagomeKag--'

'WHAT, INUYASHA!'

'Uhhmmmm, shouldn't we be looking for more--'

'Ow!' Kagome suddenly exclaimed, slapping at her neck.

'Well well, if it isnt Myoga the flea.' InuYasha said, as the flea in question floated dramaticly to the

ground.

Myoga popped out, and jumped up to Kagomes shoulder proclaiming 'Good afternoon, Master

InuYasha. And how are we this fine day?'

'Hello Myoga!' Said Sango, who walked over, purposely treading on a wandering hand that was

headed her way again.

Myoga waved, and turned to InuYasha. 'There are rumours of another demon two villages over I

thought that was worth investigating.'

'What kind of demon is it?' Questioned Kagome.

'It's not known, but is said to be very fierce.' Myoga replied.

'Well then, what are we waiting for?' Cried Shippo.

'Agreed. Let's get going then.' Sango Said.
