While InuYasha and Kagome were making their way to the office that had just beckoned them, InuYasha couldn't help but think that Kagome was the reason he had to go in the first place. 'What did that insufferable wench do to make me suffer further this time?' InuYasha asked himself internally.

"I wonder why the office wants us." Kagome said with worry in her tone.

"What, you mean you to tell me you aren't the reason we have to go down there in the first place, wench?" He said as his brows raising in suspection.

"My name is not wench. It's Kagome. Ka-Go-Me." Kagome said through cleanched teeth.

"Feh! Whatever." InuYasha said, rolling his eyes.

"Urg! You're impossible!" Kagome said turning her head away from the seemingly indifferent half-demon.

They had finally arrived at Ms. Kaede's office after what seemed like hours of uncomfortable silence.

"Ah, I see yee have made it. Come in." Kaede said swinging her office door ajar.

InuYasha and Kagome strutted in Kaede's office with their noses in the air, avoiding eachother's gaze. InuYasha with his arm's crossed over his chest, and Kagome her hand's balled into fists at her side.

"Aren't yee going to take a seat?" Kaede asked.

"Yes, thank you Kaede." Kagome said, while InuYasha took a seat and turning his head away from the two women.

"So, why were we called here?" Kagome asked growing nervious.

InuYasha finally hearing someting of interest turned his toward the pair, his ears twitching with consern.

"Well hag, let's hear it." InuYasha said his voice dripping in impatince.

"InuYasha, don't be rude!" Kagome commanded, sending him a glare.

"Feh!" InuYasha rolled his eyes at her, making her fume.

" I called yee hear today, because of the problem yee are having InuYasha. I am going to give yee one month to collect some of the money that went missing." Kaede answered.

"What!" InuYasha yelled groweling.

"It was you! You did this didn't you? Well, I don't need your help!" He continued.

"I didn't do anything!" Kagome protested.

"The hell you didn't wench!" InuYasha insisted

"Child it is not Kagome's faul that yee are both here." Kaede interjected

"In fact, Kagome is the reason that you won't have detention this month."

"I won't?" InuYasha asked, confused.

"No. Kagome came here yesterday, asking me if I could help trying to prove your innocence, InuYasha."

"I don't need your help. I can do it on my own." InuYasha persisted.

"You are to find the money with Kagome, InuYasha." Kaede commanded, watching as InuYasha's eyes quickly turned into slits, and his mouth a tight line as he stuck his chin out, in his own defiant way.

"All of the money was put into indiviual barriers, as to prevent this from happening. Unfortiounitly the barrers have some side affects on demons. The barrer increases their power ten fold. The barrer also allows prestis' to bond the money together, Such as two fifty dollars bills will make one hundered dollar bill. Many demons are after the money, so yee may have a hard time collecting it. I have already found a fifty dollar bill, Kagome you are a miko correct?" She continued.

"Ahh. Yes." Kagome answered.

"Well then. Please step forward child."

Kagome took an unsure step toward Kaede wondering what the old miko was up to, her eyes narrowing and eye brows raising. 'How did I get roped into this?' Kagome thought sadly.

"Please extend your hands to me, child." Kiade said, picking up theunpurified fifty dollars.

As Kagome grasped the money in her hands, the barrer around it visualized, and for a moment had a light pink tint. If they haden't all been intensly staring at the money, they wouldn't have even noticed the slight change. Kagome looked up at Kaede after witnessing this, only to find the old women's lips turned into a simle.

"Interesting, this is a good sign Kagome. As I thought yee's Miko powers are indeed powerful. Yee are able to pureify the tainted money with a single touch of your hand."

Kagome's eyes grew wide when she herd what Kaede had just said to her. InuYasha's mouth on the other hand grew into an unapproved frown as he continued to compare Kagome and Kikyo.

"InuYasha?" Kaede said drawing his atintion.

"What is it?" InuYasha asked The old women rudely.

"Is there going to be a problem with you and Kagome working together?"

"Yes! Yes, there is. I can do it on my own. I don't need this wench's help!" InuYasha said gesturing to Kagome with his thumb.

Kagome sent InuYasha an evil glare out of the corner of her eye as the word wench left his lips. Kaede however was un fased but the Hanyou's outburst and turned quickly to face her desk. Kaede pulled out a neckelace that had dark beads, and after every fith one was some kind of animal tooth. She lade it down on her desk, closed her eyes, put her hands together, and chanted something below her breath. The beads flew up into the air and torpeadoed itself around InuYasha's neck.

"Hey! What the he-" InuYasha started, but was cut off by Kiade telling Kagome to pick a word to subdue InuYasha.

As Kagome was trying to think, she saw InuYasha's ears twitch. At that moment she just said the first words that came to mind, while adding a cute spin to chasting InuYasha.

"Sit boy!" Kagome demanded as InuYasha fell to the floor.

"Damn it wench! What the fuck?" He said as he peeled himself off of Kiade's floor, and trying to take off the beads of subgation.

"Hey! Watch your mouth InuYasha. You're in a room with two ladies." Kagome said.

"What ladies? All I see is an old hag that should have died long ago, and an annoying, self righteous wench." InuYasha said, obviously still angry about the hard hit he took agaisnt the floor.

"InuYasha, sit boy." Kagome said in a huff.

"I couldn't have said it any better my self Kagome." Kaede said to Kagome.

"InuYasha yee know that inorder for you to be freed from your detintion, yee and Kagome are going to have to work together, trust infact. For without trust yee shall fail, in yee's quest to clear the name, that is InuYasha." Kaede said with a worried expression on her face.

InuYasha's only responce was a groan from where he was plastered on the floor.
