Kagome dug around in her large yellow bag, throwing things randomly, including her big fluffy slippers, even though she had no clue how they came to be in her bag. She was looking for her ibuprofen, but so far had come up empty handed.

Finally her hand clasped around the cylindrical bottle and she shouted in triumph at having found the pills. Quickly she poured two out into her hand and, with a swig of water, they were gone. Her head had been pounding for a good hour or so, and nothing she did could make it stop, even now.

A/N: I am planning on putting up a longer chapter either tonight or tomorrow. It just depends on how much time I have to write. I only got this done because the kiddos are taking their naps. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have gotten it done. I've got a lot to do around my house today, like laundry, cuz I've been putting it off all week . I'm a bit of a procrastinator. Don't know if you've noticed, lol. But I promise I will try to have another one up tomorrow, and it will be longer!
