Kagome awoke to the sound of muffled voices outside of her door. Faintly she recognized the owner of the voices. Groaning she rolled over in her sleep and pulled her pillow over her head, as if that was going to drown out the noise. When that did not work she reluctantly pushed the pillow away from her and glanced at her alarm clock and saw the clock flashing ten a.m.

Immediately she bolted out of bed, and ended up tangling herself up in her comforter. She landed face first on the floor.

"Real smooth, Kagome," Shippo snickered from her doorway.

Glaring up at him, she picked herself off the floor. "What are you doing here, brat?"

"I'm hurt Kagome," Shippo pouted, looking wounded as he placed a hand over his heart. "Here I am coming to check up on you after you ditched me last night."

Her glare immediately melded into a guilty gaze. "I'm sorry Shippo, I fell asleep."

"It's no big deal. Besides when was the last time you actually slept in," Shippo replied, and when she couldn't answer his question, his hurt look turned into an ear splitting grin. "Or had a dream that good?"

"Wha, what are you talking about," Kagome stuttered, her face turning a dark red as she recalled the dream she had last night.

"Uh-huh," Shippo replied in a tone that clearly meant he did not believe her. "Whatever happened to my sweet old, innocent Kagome?"
