Seven Sins

Sota groaned, rolling over onto his stomach. He wearily opened his eyes and pushed himself up, his arms starting to shake underneath his weight.
The floor was not a comfortable place to sleep.
Looking around he saw that Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku were all sitting at a table, doing various things.
Miroku was skimming though a book of riddles, had a game of chess set up, and was also writing notes down on a blank piece of paper.
Inuyasha was writing something on a piece of paper while also going through an ancient looking book of what seemed to be stories about battles.
Sango was reading a book about the bodies strengths and weaknesses highlighting something every once in a while, with a list of medical ingredients.
"What time is it?" Sota asked, yawning.
Miroku briefly looked away form his book of riddles, which also looked ancient, and looked at his watch. "5:21,"
"In the morning?" Sota cried.
"Yep," Miroku said, going back to his riddles.
"It's too early to be awake!" Sota cried, falling back down onto his bed.
Sango stopped what she was doing and smiled at Sota. "Then go back to bed silly." She said in a sisterly voice. She always thought of Kagome as a sister, and Sota as her little brother.
"That's what I'm doing." Sota said, his words coming out muffled because of the pillow.
Sango giggled and looked back down at her medical studies.
Sota laid down there, intending on falling asleep, but when he didn't he sat back up and walked over to the table.
"I'm awake." He said grudgingly.
"It's about time." Inuyasha said, looking up. "You're a heavy sleeper. Did you know that? You didn't even wake up when Miroku dropped a load of books on you. Ow!" Inuyasha cried, grabbing his shin.
"What was that for?" Inuyasha asked, looking at Miroku.
"You dropped books on me?" Sota cried, looking over at Miroku, mad.
"Not on purpose." Miroku said, glaring over at Inuyasha.
"That hurt Miroku!" he cried.
"Good!"
Sango rolled her eyes as the boys continued to fight, as she let her gaze wander off towards Kagome.
She was still sound asleep. Sango gave the sleeping girl a small smile before looking back towards the bickering trio of boys.
"Hey! Remember what we were doing?" Sango asked, breaking up the arguments.
Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sota sighed, all grumbling something about someone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yura sighed as she stared at her bunch of demons, all of which were the ground, breathing hard.
"Yura?" Yura turned around to see Naraku, Kagura, and Koga standing beside Kanna. Yura turned back to her group of demons, eyeing them angrily.
"I'll be back. Don't move or you won't be breathing at all!" And with that she stormed off towards Naraku.
"A bunch of morons!" she cried as she closed the distance from herself and the others. "They don't know the meaning of smart fighting!"
"Well what did you expect? This was only our first day recruiting. We'll have better demons tomorrow." Koga said, returning the glare Yura was sending at him.
"So I take it the progress isn't going well." Naraku said, look at Kanna and Yura.
"No. The morons can't dodge a dagger to save their lives!" Yura said, glaring at Koga again.
"Maybe it's not the demons that are the morons, maybe it's the teacher." Koga said, glaring back at Yura.
"Are you calling me a moron? Because Koga, baby, we all know the only moron here is you and your demon friends. I think they might actually be smarter then you!"
"Your both morons, now can we get back to the subject at hand?" Kagura asked, turning to face Naraku and Kanna.
"Kagura, Koga, go and get more demons. When you get back you'll help Yura and Kanna train them. Yura, Kanna, keep training the demons. Miracles can happen."
"…I don't think miracles happen for people who want to take over the world." Yura said, a questioning look on her face.
"Yura stop being stupid." Naraku said, turning around and disappearing.
"What? They don't!" she called after him.
Yura turned around to face her sisters and Koga, who had an I-told-you-so smirk on his face.
"Get out of here!" Yura yelled at him, throwing one of her exploding daggers at him.
Koga simply caught it, smiling arrogantly at Yura. "Is that the best you got?"
Yura smiled, and mentally counted down. '3-2-1'
"Boom!"
Yura watched as the dagger exploded in Koga's hand sending him flying backwards until he crashed into the rock wall behind him.
"Just another stupid demon proving how stupid he is." Yura said to her sisters, and walked away, back to her pathetic group of pathetic demons, who were all really very pathetic in their own pathetic way.

The library was quiet as everyone in it was busy doing something.
Miroku was trying to find strategies that would help her. Thus why he had a book of difficult riddles. If Kagome could figure those out she could surely find a way to defeat Naraku.
Inuyasha was going through ancient battles, finding ways to help her fight. He was also going through how she fights, trying to find ways to make her a better fighter.
Sango was reading through medical documents, learning all about the strengths and weaknesses of every human and demon known to man.
Sota was reading list after list of jokes, things to ponder, and oxymoron's. If Kagome could remember these, and if Naraku was as easy to distract as Inuyasha says, then Kagome would have no problem distracting Naraku.
The house was quiet, even though it was at least 10 o'clock. But after that exhaustingly long day yesterday, it was pretty understandable as to why everyone would all still be asleep.
Even Kagome was still sound asleep, lying there, hands crossed over her chest.
She looked so peaceful sleeping. She looked a lot like Sleeping Beauty.
Sango had changed her into one of Inuyasha's over sized shirts and a pair of shorts. Sango also brushed Kagome's tangled hair, wiped a clean cloth, damped with water, over her face, and crushed up pain reliever pills, let it dissolve in water, and slowly had Kagome drinking it.
And she was still peacefully asleep. And she still looked like Sleeping Beauty.
