Sora: Hey guys! Sorry this one is a little bit of a shorty as well! Plot is basically the same here, just updated. Happy reading!

Chapter 4: Monks...

Inuyasha yawned, temporarily unsure of where he was. Inuyasha propped himself up on his elbows and looked around, oh yes…Hojo. Inuyasha's stomach turned slightly at the thought of him. Inuyasha glanced around, his eyes coming to a rest on the girl next to him. Kagome was curled into a ball, her hair a tangled halo. Inuyasha grinned and was about to lie back down, when, he heard it, the sound of pure evil.

Inuyasha chuckled evilly, his fangs protruding over his bottom lip. He would destroy her "sell phone" once and for all, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Inuyasha snatched up his prey, still laughing, and bounded off a ways, dropping the phone to the ground. He should have learned from his mistake the night before, but of course, he hadn't.

As before, it popped open and voices began talking,

"Oh my goodness…"

"Kagome! What did you DO last night!"

"Tell us everything!"

Inuyasha stared, a little scared, as three voices frantically talked over each other. Inuyasha glared at the cell phone, willing the voices to stop. How could Kagome want this…"thing"? Using it was like going mad, one started hearing voices. Unable to bare it any longer, Inuyasha gave up the one-sided Mexican standoff and used a manual method,

"QUIET!"

Inuyasha could almost hear the crickets chirping in the background.

"Oh my crackers," One of the girls said.

"Are you the guy—," the second started.

"—that Kagome was with?" The third girl finished.

"Yes…," Inuyasha said hesitantly, scared of the barrage that would inevitably come.

"You have to come meet us!" They all cried, probably all punching their fists in the air. He knew. He'd seen Kagome do it many times.

"I don't even know who you are!" Inuyasha cried, hoping to avoid any more delays, he already had the damn festival.

"Eri!"

"Yuka!"

"Ayumi!"

"And you ARE going to come see us," Yuka started said persuasively.

"Yes, tell Kagome to get her man candy down here—," Eri started; man candy? Inuyasha rubbed an arm, feeling gross.

"—or else we won't let her borrow our notes for the rest of the year!" Ayumi finished ominously; did these two always finish each others sentences? Inuyasha decided he didn't care, Kagome would never let "notes" drag her to her friends in the modern era.

"I—," Inuyasha began, but was quickly cut off.

"Okay, okay, It's all set! You and Kagome will come and see us at 3:00 P.M. tomorrow!"

"Um—"

"Great!"

"See you then!"

And the voices stopped abruptly. Inuyasha felt as though a tornado of girls had gone through and left him in their wake. In a way they had.

Inuyasha sighed and rubbed his temples. He could only hope that Kagome would be able to stave off her crazy friends. Inuyasha looked around and saw that the sun would be rising soon. He still had some time with this crazy thing!

Inuyasha decided that Kagome would be too mad if he destroyed her phone, but that didn't mean he couldn't take a peak!

Inuyasha scooped up her phone and decided to do a little last minute exploring before Kagome woke up. He sat down and scratched the screen lightly with a claw and a caption popped up saying "pictures." Inuyasha grinned; Kagome had shown the group her camera and Inuyasha had been itching to play with it, but at the time he had been too grumpy to ask. Inuyasha touched the screen and images began flashing. There were girls, groups of girls, and more girls, all smiling cheek to cheek. He sighed and rested his head on his hand, this "cell phone" wasn't as interesting as it seemed. Inuyasha was about to play with the phone some more, but suddenly an image appeared on the screen that made him wince. It was the ugliest dog Inuyasha had ever seen; scrawny with tufts of fur around its paws and ears. It reminded Inuyasha of Sesshomaru.

He tapped the screen some more, slowly becoming barely acquainted with the phone. Inuyasha did notice, however, that Kagome seemed to have a suspicious amount of boys in her phone. That wasn't good, not like he was afraid of the competition, but…

It took some major thinking and exploring on Inuyasha's part, but he found that he could send messages and pictures to people without having to actually having to talk to them, which was a relief.

With a devilish grin Inuyasha tapped out a few keys on the phone and then stood up, having taken too much time already.

The day was beginning, the sun slowly creeping up behind a hill. Inuyasha needed to get Kagome back to her bed before the others woke up. Miroku's mind was, as Kagome would say, "in the gutter," and no doubt he would leap to some dirty conclusions. Inuyasha didn't feel like dealing with that kind of antagonism and embarrassment. Hopefully everyone would still be peacefully asleep, Inuyasha wished he hadn't spent so much time playing with Kagome's phone.

As Inuyasha crept through the window of the hut with Kagome in his arms, he found Miroku already up and meditating against one of the walls of the hut. His eyes were still closed and Inuyasha tried to stealthily creep towards Kagome's bed.

"Had a fun time did you?" Miroku whispered sensually, not opening his eyes, but wiggling his eyebrows suggestively all the same.

"We weren't doing anything like that," Inuyasha growled, bopping Miroku on the head as he walked past. Inuyasha tucked Kagome into her strange bed while Inuyasha tried, unsuccessfully, to ignore Miroku's smirk from behind him. He gave a silent prayer of thanks that Sango, Shippo, and Kirara weren't up yet to hear Miroku's accusations.

"Hey Inuyasha, if you ever need any tips just let me know."

"For what?" Inuyasha grumbled in Miroku's direction, regretting giving him the opportunity to continue immediately.

"Well I mean if she just fell asleep right in the middle…," Miroku trailed off.

Inuyasha growled quietly in Miroku's direction, that monk was really starting to get on his nerves…

Besides, that didn't even really make sense.

"Wow, that didn't even really make sense," Miroku whispered to himself after Inuyasha had exited the hut via the window, "You were really reaching Miroku. Shame he had to actually listen to that one, all the others were so much better."

Such is the life of a monk.

Sora: Thanks for reading! I hope everyone is liking the changes I am making to the story, my writing style has changed a little in this story. But before I was trying so hard to be "funny" and it just seemed like it was really forced.

Please leave your comments and thoughts in a review, but please keep the flames away because I live in a flammable house.
