Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha. I also don't own the idea for this chapter. I got it from a story called What's in Kurama's Hair by TnM aka Touya no miko

Kagome's Strange Era

Ch. 7

"I'm going to take a shower. Don't get into any trouble while I'm gone!" Kagome called to Inuyasha on her way to the bathroom. Again? Inuyasha thought. That's what got us into this mess in the first place.

There wasn't much for a hanyou to do around Kagome's house, so Inuyasha just sat there on the floor for a while next to Kagome's bag. Kagome had repacked the bag just in case they found a way home soon. What's in there anyway? Inuyasha wondered. Kagome never lets me see. Quietly Inuyasha opened the bag and looked inside. He pulled out what he found one by one.

First there were the clothes: A sweater, two t-shirts, four pairs of shorts, a skirt, and a couple things Inuyasha didn't recognize but thought probably went under her clothes, so he put them back, blushing.

Next there were the books: A history book, a math book, a science book, three Peach Girl manga, and something called The Old Man and the Sea. From his days at school, Inuyasha knew that she was reading it in Language Arts.

There was also lots of Ramen, other non-perishable food, a plastic copy of the Shicon Jewel that got his hopes up a little before he figured out that it wasn't real, and another book at the very bottom of the bag. It said Diary on the cover and Inuyasha recognized it as the book that Kagome wrote in sometimes. She always got mad at him when he tried to see what she was writing.

Inuyasha glanced around, then opened it. There was a voice inside of it that sounded like Kagome. It said, "SIT!" Inuyasha fell down. While he was on the floor, he could hear someone laughing. Kagome was at the door, almost hysterical. When Inuyasha sat up, she calmed down and said, "What are you doing with my stuff? Put them back now or I'll say sit!" Wham! "Oops," she said, smiling. He hastily shoved everything back in the bag.

"Sorry, it's just that I've always wondered what was in there. I won't do it again," Inuyasha said, making the authoress mad at him for being so wimpy and OOC.

Kagome suddenly grinned. Inuyasha cringed in fear. "What are you thinking?" "Don't worry, I'm not mad anymore. You just helped me figure out who took the Jewel shards!"

A/N- Mwahahahaha! A cliffhanger! Sorry about the short chapter and the long time between updates. Also, this is the second to last chapter. I'm sorry, don't hate me! I just want to end this because it'll just go down hill if I try to make it longer. So who do you think took the Jewel? Give me you guesses. I know who it is, but it will help with the next chapter to see who some of the suspects are.
