The original characters and story of 'Inuyasha' do not belong to me.They belong to Rumiko Takahashi and VIZ. I am in no way making money off of this, so please don't sue *big teary eyes*!!!! I did create the other characters (Naoko for example).

*AUTHOR'S NOTE*

Thanks to LilFoxGirl for that really entertaining review! Also, thanks to all of the people who keep reading and all those positive reviews. =^.^=

Sango groaned as Naoko stretched out, squishing her against the wall. Sango also heard Sheri's body thump against the floor followed by her cursing in English and Japanese. Naomi was smart, sleeping on the opposite side of the small room cleverly on the floor.

Naoko's arm flew up and slapped Sango square across the face. Sango slapped it away, but Naoko threw it back into her face.

"That stupid ditz!" Sheri's hand flew up onto the side of the cot. It looked like something out of a horror movie. "She is so dumb!"

"Did you JUST relize that?!" Sango slithered out from between Sleeping Beauty and the wall. Her hair was muffed up, strands sticking out here and there. She smoothed it back, and Sheri rolled her eyes.

"I wonder where the hell everyone else is? I know Kagome and Inuyasha are right above us, and so are Naoko's parents, but what about Katsuaki?" Sheri stood up and brushed herself off. A few dust bunnies scattered.

"I don't know. I don't think I could care less about Katsuaki though," Sango muttered, crawling off the cot and onto the floor. "He's a stupid jackass. I mean, he's never that affectionate to Kagome-chan."

"Well I don't think he's supposed to."

"Why not?"

"Alotta guys don't show their affections openly. Some guys do, but I'd have to say most wouldn't kiss their girlfriend infront of his or her friends. That's my guess. Plus, they've just met! Their date actually ended up becoming a small, cheap trip for all of us." Sheri shrugged. There really was no exact answer, except that guys were all different.

"Well I guess you're right," Sango replied. Her feet were now in the warmth and comfort of her slippers, something far more comforting than that cold, ugly, funny colored rug. "I still hate him."

Sheri sighed and shook her arms. "Stupid Naoko. She hogs up the whole thing!"

"She sleeps like a Miroku," Sango jumped, and the thud of her body didn't even wake Naoko, "See what I mean? He never wakes up either. Baka."

Kagome looked down at Inuyasha, who was sound asleep on the couch. He looked peaceful. Kagome remembered being awake, and finding Inuyasha watching over her or asleep next her. If he was awake, she paid careful mind not to let him know she was as well. If he was asleep, she'd take her turn and watch him for awhile.

i guess theres jsut something about watching people sleep She smiled as his ear twitched. She felt relaxed and calm, and wondered if Inuyasha felt the same way while watching her.


"Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna hit the sack now, Midori." Katsuaki's voice ran a chill down Kagome's spine. He was outside of the room, and he obviously couldn't tell she was in there. His shadow draped across the walls and windows, making him seem taller and more threatening.

She slipped behind the couch, invisible incase he walked in. There wasn't many places to hide on a small yacht, this was the best she could do. Much to Kagome's dismay, the door slid open.

"Arrg. Where the hell is that woman," Katsuaki walked in, sliding the door roughly shut. Inuyasha grumbled a little.

"Shaddup," He groaned and shuffled. The couch slid back some, it was quite a weak couch. Kagome was surprised it hadn't collapsed.

"Stupid shit," Katsuaki snuck behind the bar and took a bottle of beer. "I should bash you silly while you're sleeping. You're so dense you wouldn't even fucking feel it!" He gave a cocky snort-laughing thing, and Kagome rolled her eyes. Inuyasha could shove him off the boat with his finger!

Katsuaki walked over and looked down at the sleeping Inuyasha. Kagome froze. She didn't want him to slap her again...she was willing to bet it would be many more than one slap too. She remembered what had happened, it seemed years ago, but it was only hours.

Katsuaki laughed when Inuyasha rolled over, his back to him. He mumbled something again, and Katsuaki supposed he was dreaming. Inuyasha's hat tilted to a side, his dog-ears still hidden from view.

"I bet you're dreaming messed-up dreams. I bet Kagome's running naked towards you!" Katusaki grinned. He laughed again, and slid the door open, walked out, and slid it shut again.

A few seconds passed, and Kagome stood up. Inuyasha and re-arranged himself onto his back. She smiled a little, he was sound asleep still. She moved a little, noticing she was pinned to the wall. The only way out was to climb over the couch and *on top* of Inuyasha.

Her eyes widened. Be stuck with dust bunnies behind the weird couch, or step on Inuyasha. She grumblem and lifted one leg over the side of the couch. She placed it right on the opposite side of the couch, still a patch of space left.

Gripping tightly onto the back, she bagan she slide herself up. Her toes were touching the ground, when suddenly, something warm, fuzzy, and purring rubbed against her bare foot.

"Eeeeeeeek!" She jumped, landing on (and not to mention waking up) Inuyasha. There was a hissing noise from behind the couch, and Kiara jumped on up and latched onto the top of the couch.

"For Chrissakes, wench, what the HELL are you doing?!" Inuyasha apparently wasn't at loss of breath, or words, and had sat up.

"Heheheh...ew! Get your hands of my waist!" She shoved his chest when she noticed he had a hand on either side of her waist. She flew backwards, and Inuyasha landed with the "WHUMPFH" on the ground. She threw herself up abruptly, and shouted "SIT!" Another loud crash and cursings.

Suddenly, Sango's voice shouted, from down below: "Is he molesting you or something Kagome?"

"Maeko," Mrs Kobayashi sighed, looking at the form and picture. "She's apparently suffered deppression, attemped suicide, and doesn't get along with other people." Etsuko frowned.

"Why let a psycho witch like that in our school? I bet she can't even spell her own fucking name." Etusko removed her glasses and rubbed the fabric of her shirt around the lenses.

"Well, your father is a therapist. Apparently, Maeko is much better now. Her mother says it has something to do with the other girls at her school, she's kind of an outcast. You know, very few friends." The principal's aged hands gripped the letter, and then tossed it gently aside. The picture of the young girl, a frown on her face, mesmorized the woman for a few brief seconds. She looked so...unhappy...so...creepy.

"Will she be there when we get home?" Etsuko stretched and listened to her fat father snore.

"Yes she will, you'll meet her at school. She's also going to be involved in the Drama Festival. We're doing the play Mariko wrote last year. I can't remember what it's called." Mrs Kobayashi smiled at her daughter. She got in return, disgust.

"You mean 'Love Play?'" Etsuko snorted, "The one about the guy who was secretly in love with his brother's fiancee'? She's in love with him too...Talk about cliche! That is the OLDEST storyline in the book."

"Well, now is it? I'm sure we'll be full of fresh faces and talents this year. Mr Nakamura is going to force Inuyasha to join. He hates him al-"

"The feeling is mutual there, believe me. I'm going to bed now, and you can talk to yourself about your nutso school girls and Drama Fest. Goodnight." Etsuko whipped around and slid the door behind her, off to join the other girls in the fuschia bedroom.

********************************************************************************************************************************

Silence. Every little thing was silent.

Maeko looked up at the glowing plastic stars on her ceiling. The dotted it like sprinkles on a birthday cake and she laughed. She was going to school! With other girls...goth to prep....and they were all going to make fun of her again! They guys would laugh at her too.

Maeko with her boring clothes. Ugly face and stupid laugh. Maeko with the boring parties and the creepy house. Maeko! They'd laugh at her again, and she'd get angry again...

She threw her plush pillow across the room. But, not with her hands. It came flying back, and landed on her stomach.

Tomrrow, she would meet the people she'd met before.
