I think I should attempt a drabble series. They seem like fun and although I know I will inevitably fail, I want to give it a shot.

SHOUT OUT TOOOO: Sunset Miko, foxgloves, Silver Standard Society, and forthright. You guys have written such good stories that you are inspiring me to write this Drabble series.

This will be revolved around Summer time. I've been brain storming and have decided this is the topic. Chapters will most likely be 500 words or longer. I like long chapter Drabble series.

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!

"I do not see what kind of gain I would get joining your group miko, you are a bunch of weak fools." Sesshomaru said with his normal emotionless mask in place. Kagome was about to open her mouth and give him a pretty rude comment that would probably end up with claws through her chest, when Miroku piped in knowing exactly what she was about to do.

"Ah but Sesshomaru-sama, we have fought Naraku on many occasions and have come out successful." He said his wise eyes twinkling with a charming smile on his face.

"Then why is it that you need this Sesshomaru's help?" He asked bored. If they could handle that filthy Hanayo on their own, why did they need his help?

Miroku's eyes hardened ever so slightly but the Demon Lord caught it.

"Well Sesshomaru-sama, unfortunately we haven't been as successful as we would like. While we do come out victorious, we still cannot defeat him on our own. We would need you to accomplish this, and don't you want to take him down too? He has also meddled with your life. Maybe not as much as the rest of us but he still messed with you. Don't you want him gone?" Miroku said hoping he would agree.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed slightly but he realized the point that the Monk was throwing at him. The Spider needed to go. He was a pest and kept trying to get his power by stealing Rin. If he was not killed then she would still be in danger, plus he was moving to close to his lands borders for his liking. Yes, Sesshomaru had heard about the miasma that infiltrated the villages in the other Lord's lands that killed off many humans and some of the Demon population. Naraku decided to start killing villages off and if he went into the West it would not be good for his lands. Maybe the Monk had a point…

"Hn, I agree to join your group under one condition." He said finally making up his mind after some consideration.

"What is it?" Miroku asked eager to get the powerful Taiyoukai in their group. They were so close to killing Naraku and getting the Jewel, yet they were still so far.

"I want to train the Miko." He said turning to look at Kagome. "You can't even call yourself a miko with your level of battle skills. You will be the key to killing the Spider seeing as you are the Shikon Miko." Sesshomaru said.

Kagome, who was biting her tongue trying to keep the nasty comments in the she believed would knock him off his high horse was surprised by his request. She was angry that he pretty much called her pathetic, but she really couldn't complain. She was and she knew it. She had nowhere near the skill needed to beat Naraku and who better to learn from then the Lord of The West? Putting a smile on her face she stood up and dusted off her skinny jeans. Long ago she decided that her school girl uniform in the Feudal Era was not a good idea. I mean seriously, it's not like she had to wake up and go to school. When she did go to school she always stopped at home first and took a bath before getting a clean uniform on. Why waste the money on buying new uniforms when she could avoid ruining them in the first place?

Deciding not to put her hand out for him to shake, knowing he would scoff at it, she settled for an appreciative smile and a nice welcome into the group for the opportunity to train and for joining their group.

"Well then Sesshomaru-sama, I believe we have a deal. Welcome Aboard!"
