Kagome watched in satisfaction as Rin and Shippo munched on their sandwiches. After making sure that they were satisfied, Kagome turned to her own lunch.

"Ahh…" she said aloud, as the steam from the hot bowl of ramen warmed her chin. The irresistible MSG (monosodium glutamate, the little packet of flavor that comes with ramen ((drool)) that makes it awesome? Yeah) induced smell of Oriental ramen wafted up to her delicate button nose, and made her stomach growl with impatience.

Kagome inserted her fork once again into the bowl of hot broth and noodles, twisting a good-sized bite of noodles, and carefully maneuvering her fork as to prevent the noodles from untwisting themselves.

Her eyes closed in peaceful happiness. She let the artificial flavors dance over her tongue, and reveled in the feel of a mouthful of the wavy noodles.

"So you guys enjoyed your lunch?" Kagome asked.

"Yep!" they both replied enthusiastically, licking their fingers for the last traces of peanut buttery goodness, and smacking their lips with blatant pleasure.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Kagome asked them, struggling to keep her attention on Rin and Shippo and away from the steaming noodles.

"Ooh! Let's play a board game!" Rin cried.

"Board games are boring" Shippo said rolling his eyes, "Cards are much more fun"

"Nu-uh!" Rin said with a stubborn shake of her head, "Board games!"

"Cards!"

"Board games!"

"Cards!"

Rin opened her mouth to yell out her opinion once more, but Kagome held out a hand and interrupted the two.

"Why don't we do both?" she asked reasonably, "We can play a board game like Rin wants to," Rin beamed and stuck out her tongue at the pouting Shippo, "And then, we can play whatever game you want to Shippo" Shippo beamed, and nodded eagerly to the solution.

Kagome mentally wiped sweat off of her brow, Well it looks as though I've warded off my death for a little while longer.

"Why don't you guys go get the game, while I finish my lunch? Okay?" Kagome suggested.

Rin and Shippo, quickly jumped out of their seats, and went sprawling up the stairs (…can you sprawl up stairs???), and were quickly out of sight.

Kagome gave a content sigh, and slurped up a single noodle, a few drops of the liquid splashing her on the chin.

"Mmm" Kagome picked up the small bowl she had selected to eat out of, and tilt it upwards towards her face, as she sipped the tasteful liquid.

"Oi!" a voice cried, startling Kagome, and nearly making her drop the entire bowl of broth onto her lap, "What the hell d'you think you're doing!"

Kagome quickly set the bowl down, causing some of the liquid to slosh on the sides of the bowl and spill onto the dining table.

Kagome instantly opened her mouth to tell off the rude person for startling her, before realizing something important:

Who the hell was this guy?!?!

"Who are you?!" she demanded, pointing an angry finger at the boy standing at the stairs.

"Feh" the boy rolled his eyes, and fixed her with an angry glare, "Who are you!" he demanded back, he jumped over the railing and landed on the dining room floor barely causing a tremor.

Rising up gracefully from his amazing jump, his eyes quickly widened, and he sped over to Kagome side and peered into the bowl she was eating out of.

"What's this?!" he screeched, "What the hell?!" the boy's face was contorted with rage as he confronted Kagome.

"Were you eating my Creamy Chicken ramen?!" he yelled.

"Chill out freak! I'm eating Oriental!" Kagome yelled back.

"Oh…" the boy was about to relax, when he noticed the bowl she was eating out of.

"And are you eating of my special ramen bowl?!"

Kagome rolled her eyes, "Okay, now this is just getting stupid. Hold on a second" without waiting to hear if he had anything to say, Kagome quickly dashed into the kitchen and pressed REDIAL.

RIN—

"This had better be important girl" Sesshomaru answered. Kagome didn't know if it was possible, but he sounded even colder than before.

"Okay, I was cool with Rin's friend being here. But who's this freakzoid harassing me about his ramen?!" Kagome yelled into the phone.

"That would be my little brother" Sesshomaru said with distaste.

"Brother???" Kagome repeated incredulously. Two Sesshomaru's?! Then Kagome recalled the weirdo in there obsessing over Creamy Chicken ramen, I guess I don't have to worry about that then…(The two Sesshomaru thing. Actually…I think that would rock!)

Sesshomaru gave an impatient huff as he explained, "Half brother, he's an idiot, but don't worry about him. He should be leaving as soon as Saturday cartoons are over. Until he leaves, you are responsible for watching over him too"

"You can't be serious!" Kagome wailed.

The phone got deadly silent on the other end, "Do I sound like I am joking?" he asked.

"Er…" Kagome shivered, "No actually, you don't"

"Good, at least you could comprehend that. We'll see how well you do with a six year old"

"Two!" Kagome corrected, "I have two six year olds! One, which I was tricked into sitting!"

Sesshomaru gave a bored sigh, "Are you done yet? Your talking tires me"

"Hmph", Kagome huffed indignantly, "But Mr. Taisho, one more thing"

Kagome cringed at the low rumbling of a growl that she heard in his throat, she could actually feel the temperature drop because of the icy glare that he was no doubt giving her over the phone.

"What's his name, and how old is he?" Kagome asked him bravely.

Sesshomaru gave an irritated snort, "That twits' name is InuYasha, and he's 17"

CLICK

Kagome stared open mouthed at the phone, this man…he was a tyrant! Did he think he could just keep dumping people for Kagome to babysit, and that she'd take it lying down?! No way! Not her!

Not only that, but her newest burden was actually older than her.

'This is so messed up…' Kagome thought in disbelief.

XXXXXXXX

I forgot to warn you before, I but I heavily doubt that any of my chapters are ever going to be as long as the first. I was thinking about dividing it into two chapters, but decided against it (the first chapter I mean). I know this is pretty short, I wanted it to be at least five pages, but I like the ending. But should by some stroke of fate should I suddenly become a responsible author with no writers block, I will update quickly to make up for the shortness of this chapter. Oh well, hope you enjoyed the story! Toodles!
