This is the second chapter..the beginning, when they're talking about cleaning..is about 15 minutes after the end of the first chapter..

"Geez..do you have to clean like this all the time? You know..we never had to do this in my den.."

"Yeah..I know..but I'll get in trouble if I don't.."

"Mmm.." Someone knocked on the door. Kagome ran to the door and looked through the peephole. It was Mihoshi.

"Oh thank Kami!" She opened the door and drug Mihoshi in then slammed it.

"Wha..hey..What's the rush?"

"Shh..come with me.." They walked back into Kagome's room where Inuyasha was sitting in the recliner watching Dexter's laboratory.

"Oo..is that your brother?" Inuyasha looked up at the 2 girls.

"Oh..hey, you uhh..want me to leave, Kagome?"

"No..you're fine..right there.."

"Hmm..ok." He turned back around to face the TV. Mihoshi dropped her bag on the ground and sat down on the bed.

"Your brother's weird.."

"Yeah..guess so.." There was a few seconds of silence. "Hey if I tell you something..will you promise not to tell anyone? I mean no one.."

"Yeah..I promise."

"Alright..well..see..he's not really my brother.." Mihoshi gave her a confused look.

"Well..then who is he?"

"You're not gonna believe me..but..I'll tell you anyway. Ok..his name is Inuyasha..and he's..half-demon..he's from Feudal Japan..there's this well..in the Shrine back at my other house..and it's like a portal between our world and his." Mihoshi just sat there, acting like she understood everything.

"Hmm..but how did he get here?"

"He came through the well and followed me, I guess."

"That's kinda really...weird. He's a demon?"

"Yep.." Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and pulled the beanie off of his head. "A dog-demon..see he's got little puppy dog ears." Inuyasha turned around and peered over the edge of the chair just in time to see Mihoshi leap off the bed and over to him.

"Hey..what? No..don't touch my ears!" She had grabbed his ears and was rubbing them.

"But they're so cute!" Inuyasha jerked his head away. As he did this his ears twitched. The girls laughed.

"Inuyasha.." Kagome went and sat in his lap. He was surprised at this. "This is my friend, Mihoshi."

"Hmm..I've seen a picture of you somewhere before.."

"Really now? Where from?" She shot him a confused look.

"Yeah..you wouldn't happen to know Kurama would you?"

"Oh well umm..yeah..maybe." Mihoshi blushed. Inuyasha and Kagome were both staring at her. "Ok..well see..he use to live with me..but not anymore..I'm guessin you two are friends?"

"Yeah..we're like brothers..he told me he came back to Feudal Japan to kill Hiei or something like that..but I don't blame him..I don't like Hiei either.."

"Yeah..his 'gayness' just go too much for us..He would always come and go from our house..we couldn't keep him out..Kurama just got so tired of him..so he left to go get rid of him once and for all..but he never came back..is he still alive?" Inuyasha looked almost concerned.

"Yeah..he's still alive..you two should come back with me.." he looked at Kagome, "You could be with me.." then looked at Mihoshi, "and you could be with Kurama.."

"That'd be great!"

"Yeah.." Kagome looked at Inuyasha.

"Can't we go back with him, Kagome?"

"Well..you might can but..I can't. My grandfather and mother told me I couldn't go back through the well no matter what.."

"..." Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist.

"Maybe..maybe I could go get Kurama..and then..stay here with you.." Mihoshi looked at Kagome.

"Hmm..I guess my grandfather and mother wouldn't mind that too much..as long as I can prove to them that we won't 'do' anything..if you know what I mean.."

"But we already.." Kagome pinched him. "Ow!" Mihoshi was sitting on the bed laughing.

"Hey..you can't tell me you and Kurama didn't 'do' anything while he lived with you.." Kagome was peering over the edge of the chair at her. Mihoshi blushed.

"Well..I..uhh.."

"Yeah..see." Inuyasha's voice came from behind the chair.

"But no one's supposed to know about that.."

"No one's supposed to know about us either.." Kagome turned to face Inuyasha and whispered to him. "How's Dawn doing? She should be almost 5 now..right?"

"Yeah..she's just fine..Miroku and Sango are taking care of her while I'm here..when I go back to get Kurama..I'll bring her too.."

"Ok.." Kagome stood up and turned to Mihoshi. She was staring at Kagome with a confused look on her face. "Dawn is my daughter.." Mihoshi cut her off.

"Who's the father?" As if it wasn't obvious enough. Kagome looked down at Inuyasha then back at Mihoshi. "Ohhh...gotcha.."

"Yeah..it happened when I first went down the well and met Inuyasha..and a few months later..there was Dawn.."

"Ohh..that's such a pretty name.."

"Heh..I thought so too..but don't tell anyone I said that..demons aren't supposed to think in terms of 'pretty' or 'cute' you know..things like that.."

"Alright..*snicker* I won't tell anyone.." Both of the girls were laughing. Inuyasha looked at Kagome. She was laughing harder than Mihoshi.

"You too Kagome..you better not tell anyone I said that.." She stopped laughing just long enough to answer him. "Ok, Inuyasha..I promise I won't.." She started laughing again.

"Well..I didn't think it was that funny.." Mihoshi sat back down on the bed and Kagome sat back down on Inuyasha's lap. At the same time, Kirara came walking through the door..followed by Buyo. Obviously she had gotten in Buyo's foodbowl and Buyo didn't like it, but neither seemed to be hurt.

"Hey, Buyo..." Mihoshi walked over and picked him up.

"Oh, Kirara..stay right there..don't move.." Kagome went and got a towel from the bathroom and cleaned Kirara off, than picked her up. Kirara was licking the last bit of catfood off her paw as Kagome picked her up. Inuyasha all of the sudden burst out with a random thought.

"Who watched a show with a stupid walking, talking sponge on it?"

"Spongebob..hey! I like that show!"

"Me too."

Well, it scares me..a talking squid thing and a starfish? That would scare anyone..*^.^'*"

"Aww..is poor doggie-demon scared of the sponge?" Kagome dropped Kirara into Inuyasha's lap.

"Grr.."

"Oh..was that a growl I heard?"

"Hmph.." Inuyasha got up, walked over to the computer desk, and sat down. Kirara jumped to the ground as he got up then settled back down in the chair. "Feh..what is this thing?" He moved the mouse around the screen came back on from the screensaver. "Gah! A picture of me?!" Kagome walked up behind him and put her hands on the back of the chair. Inuyasha was messing around and accidentally opened up a folder on the desktop. It just happened to be the one where she kept all of her Inuyasha pictures. He scrolled down..becoming more confused with each picture he saw, until he came to one..Kagome immediately put her hand on his shoulder, causing him to turn around so he couldn't see the picture. "What?" He looked up at her.

"Oh..umm...how bout we go get some food.." She leaned over him, grabbed the mouse and x'ed out the folder really fast.

"Mmm..ok..you got any Ramen?"

"All you can eat.." She smiled..she knew Ramen was his favorite..it made him a very happy doggy-demon.

"Hmm..alright..works for me.."
