I don't own InuYasha! I love the show, though! This is my own fanfic with some of my own characters that I made up. Kiki is Kagome's half sister; long story. It's on my profile. This is my first fanfic so this chapter's not so long. Anyways, enjoy!

The rain beat down hard against the wooden roof. Everybody was asleep, except one.
Kiki sat up against the door frame, watching the raindrops fall in no particular rhythm, staining the dusty ground. The rice-paper door was jerked from underneath her shoulder and she fell onto the muddy earth below. She lay there for a minute or so, not moving at all.
"Are you just going to wallow in the mud or what?" The voice was all too familiar, and Kiki rolled her eyes.
"No, InuYasha, it just so happens that I'm not." She stood up and did her best to wipe to mud off of her red and white kimono. I would definitely leave a stain. "And I wasn't wallowing!"
She walked back into the house and looked around for a place to sleep.
On her left, Sango was asleep with Kirara curled around her, and on Sango's right, Miroku was leaning against the wall. On Kiki's right was Lord Sessho-maru, holding his sleeping five year old daughter, Suki, in his lap. Kasumi lay next to him, her long chestnut hair out of its tight braid and reflecting the pale moonlight perfectly. She had her head resting the powerful Lord's shoulder. (Merciless Moosey: Having power is so great.)
Tukiko was on her far left, sprawled out on the floor with Shippo curled up comfortably on her back, his big bushy tail twitching when Tukiko breathed.
Kagome sat in a corner all by herself near Tukiko.
InuYasha, however, walked to the far wall and sat between Sango and his older half brother.
"Hey wait!" Kiki shouted, as quietly as she could so as to not wake anybody up and face the wrath of interrupted sleep. "I was going to sleep there!"
InuYasha merely shrugged. "Too bad, so sad. Find another spot."
Kiki started to the other side of the room. "You're such a jerk, InuYasha." She laid down when she found a comfortable spot and slipped into a peaceful sleep.

I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to The Merciless Moosey for beta reading this. GO CHECK OUT HER STUFF!!! (The Merciless Moosey: Hee hee...I actually typed this whole thing for InuYasha-is-my-homedog...) (It was her idea. This whole story belongs to InuYasha-is-my-homedog, not me, The Merciless Moosey. Are you confused yet?)
