Prologue

Kagome was grumping quietly while packing an inordinately large bag. Kagome had accepted that it was her duty to help retrieve all of the Shikon shards. However, it had been quite a battle convincing Inuyasha that she need to go home to pack as well as to let her family know what was going on. Kagome was somehow relieved that her mother had agreed with her decision, as long as Kagome tried to keep up with her school work. Kagome had no intention of slacking off with her school work. She was one of those people that need the recognition that comes with doing something well and school had always been a place where Kagome's extra efforts allowed her to shine.

"Sis?" Sota stuck his head hesitantly into Kagome's room. "So you are going with Inuyasha?"

"Yep. I'm going to the past to take Shikon shards from powerful demons, accompanied by an obnoxious half demon who hates me, without any modern conveniences." Kagome replied flippantly.

At Inuyasha's name Sota visually perked up. "So that guy is half demon dog?" Sota wiggled his index fingers above his head. Whether to mimic Inuyasha's ears or demon horns Kagome was not sure.

With a sigh, Kagome started packing the school books she felt she would need into her bag. "Yes he is part demon dog."

"So does he act like a dog sometimes?

"I would not know" Kagome responded dryly.

"Oh." Sota stood in the door way shifting his weight side to side for a few seconds and watched Kagome pack her bag. "I was just thinking about something we just learned about in my life science class."

"What was that?" Kagome asked distractedly.

"Well, I was just watching a show about dogs, and it said that when a female reaches sexual maturity and goes into heat, the male dogs within smelling range will feel a strong desire to find and mate with that female." Kagome looked up at her little brother in horror. "I just thought it might be awkward." He petered out.

"Sota!" Kagome screeched. "You are way too young to be having such perverted thoughts!" Kagome stormed up to her brother with her fists clenched at her sides. "I do not want to ever hear you suggest something like that again! Now get out!!"

Sota immediately went scurrying from Kagome's room. With a loud huff, Kagome went back to packing her bag. However, after a few minutes she considered Sota's question. She had already decided that there would always be an "important" test at one time of the month. Looking over her school curriculum, Kagome decided just incase, she would always have important tests twice a month.
