Alright. I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter after some delay…Gomen minna-san…I now have the next chappy up and ready for you!

Yay! I love your chapters!

Arigato, Denvy. I have decided that I will not include a lemon.

Because she can't write one…*whispers* no experience…

I think Yume heard you. Is it good for her face to turn THAT color?

That's not natural.

*runs from her muse and co-muse*

Oops.

Now on with the story!!!

Stupid houshi. Why does he always do that to me? Only minutes after giving me the flowers his hand decided to grope again. Now he was probably sulking somewhere. That somewhere should happen to be quite a far distance away. I hit him hard enough to knock him unconscious for a week and he flew far enough for it to take just that long for him to make it back. I sure hope Kagome comes back soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on!" Inuyasha said in frustration and grabbed my arm, pulling me through the door of the hokora (small shrine) and down the stairs towards the well. Having absolutely no patience he picked me up and ungraciously dropped me down the well. He had finally worn through my patience.

"OSWARI!" I yelled the cursed word and scrambled up one side of the well so a falling body wouldn't squash me. Halfway up I hard a thud and with a satisfied smirk on my face I continued up the well and started towards Kaede's village.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Stupid bitch…" I mumbled and peeled my abused body off the bottom of the well. If she wasn't so slow I wouldn't have had to drag her back here. Cold hearted wench. She 'sits' me and doesn't even look back. No remorse. One of these days…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Konnichiwa Kaede," I said as I walked up to her little hut.

"Ah, come in child. Where is Inuyasha?"

I brushed aside the door covering and set my bag down as I walked in. In response to her question I just shrugged.

"I see. I was just preparing a medicine for one of the women in the village; it seems that a youkai attacked their home last night. There was no serious damage though. A few burns, is all."

I stared at the wall as Kaede talked. I could sense a youkai not far away, and I guessed it was either Inuyasha or Shippo running around. The only other thing around that I could feel with my miko senses were the Shikon shards in a bottle around my neck.

"Kaede. May I rest here for a while? I have something to do later and I'm afraid it will require a lot of energy…" I let my voice trail off.

Kaede looked at me for a moment, then said, "There is an extra futon over in the corner. I have to give the medicine to the woman I was telling you about. I will be back in a while."

"Arigato, Kaede," I said and unfolded the futon. Kaede left and I laid down on the futon. I better rest while I can.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A dark shadow creeped up the side of Kaede's hut. The girl is asleep…goooood…A quick look around the front of the hut proved that no one was near.

It slipped into the hut and continued towards Kagome who had fallen into a light sleep.

Our first cliffie! I hope you enjoyed this chappy! Denvy has gone after Yume in hopes of calming her down. I seriously don't know why she got so upset. Oh well. I would like to thank Neko-chan for reviewing! Yume fainted when she found out. We are both big fans of yours Neko-chan! Until the next chapter! Ja ne minna!
