Okay, I revised it because I couldn't leave the other characters out. The ones who were hypnotized into not waking up for a week shall be in the story, but they'll come in the next chapter, along with Koga. And I have added more to the hide and seek portion as well as another scene too. Hope its better.

Naraku woke up in the middle of the night with a start. A sudden realization hit him. If he was going to get the help of his enemies in caring for the small wind bitch, he'd have to get them while they were asleep. Naraku got up and went out the doorway, grabbing a pocket watch from a nearby counter. It would be so easy a child could do it. He chuckled bitterly as he sped out of his fortress, remembering to add miasma into the watch to ensure things went well. Soon he could have a break.

It didn't take Naraku long to find the campsite of the group of people who had caused him so much trouble. Thankfully, they were all asleep. Time to get what he had come for. He'd have to be careful with the monk and the demon slayer. They had a nasty grudge against him and he was in no mood for fights at the time being. And the fox kit? He would be no problem. He snapped his fingers and the three opened their eyes but did not wake up. Naraku took out the pocket watch and began to wave the pocket watch back and forth.

"Listen to me." he said as quietly as he could. "When I snap my fingers, you will forget about your hatred for me and the problems I have caused you and will not try to kill me when you wake up." They nodded their heads and closed their eyes again. They wouldn't wake up for an extra day, since that sort of hypnosis was difficult and it would take time for their minds to fully accept it. His work was done. Naraku swooped down and grabbed up the group, placing some of them on his back so he wouldn't drop them and headed back to his fortress. Life had just become easier.

Early in the morning, Kagome Higurashi awoke with a yawn and surveyed her surroundings. Same old thing as always. Carpets, vases, miasma- Miasma? How did that get here? She looked around and saw the others were nowhere to be seen. She felt nervous. Then she looked to her side and saw and certain hanyou sleeping a few feet away from her and her fear dissipated. She nudged him.

"Inuyasha wake up!" she whispered. The dog demon stirred and sat up.

"Kagome, where are we?" he muttered.

"I don't know. I was hoping you would." she said. Inuyasha looked around and sniffed the air. There were many scents to be smelled here, none of them familiar. Suddenly he tensed. Something terrible was coming towards them. Inuyasha jumped up and unsheathed the tetsusaiga.

"What is it?"

"Naraku!" he hissed. Sure enough, Naraku approached them from the shadows.

"So you've awakened." he growled.

"What the hell are we doing here?! And where the fuck is everybody else?" Inuyasha yelled. Naraku smiled.

"Relax. I have only put them to sleep for a little bit. They should wake up the day after tomorrow. I had to bring you here because I needed you, despite the fact I'd like to kill you hear and now."

"What do you need us for?" Kagome asked, taking out her bow and arrows.

"It's embarrassing, but I need your help." At that, Inuyasha dropped tetusaiga and gaped at the demon. Naraku needing their help? What was going on here?

"What do you mean?"

Naraku sighed. "It's a long story, but I'll explain. Kagura tried to make herself an artificial heart and instead she accidentally turned herself into a small child."

"So you want us to play babysitter to her? No way." Inuyasha snarled.

"If you do, I'll willingly give you this." Naraku took out a glittering shikon shard. Inuyasha's eyes lit up for a moment. Then they hardened in disbelief.

"How do I know you're not going to pull anything?"

"Trust me just this once alright? I'm not going to pull anything. You help me take care of her for a week and I'll give you this shard, no tricks or traps or anything that you can think of."

"Alright, but just this once." Kagome muttered, setting down her bow.

"You can't really mean your going to trust him do you?!" Inuyasha roared. "Stupid wench. I always-"

"Sit!" The hanyou was thrown into the ground. "He's being honest this time I think. Perhaps just this once we can trust him, so try to be nice alright?"

"Wench." was all he said.

"Good then. We'll help you for one week, but all bets are off after that." Kagome said. Naraku smiled.

"Fine then, it's settled. You spend one week here, and I give you a shard. Your work begins tomorrow. Your rooms are upstairs." he muttered and retired to his room for the night. Kagome went upstairs, a grumbling dog demon behind her.

"Don't be so stubborn. You're like a kid who doesn't want to go to school." Kagome huffed. Inuyasha lunged at her but was restrained by the word he so much dreaded. Kagome ignored the snarling hanyou and went into a room with a single futon. She covered herself in the blankets and fell asleep.

The next morning, sometime around noon, Inuyasha woke up. He had not gotten much sleep last night and he was quite tired. And worst of all, the babysitting began today. "Why did she have to say yes? This is Naraku for god's sake." he mumbled. Then, as if on cue, something zipped through the room and jumped on top of him. Inuyasha found himself looking into the face of a little girl in a kimono.

"Hi puppy!" she giggled. Inuyasha sat up with a snarl.

"My name is Inuyasha!" he grunted. The girl showed no signs of fear. Instead she just laughed harder and pulled on his ears, making him scream. The girl fell off of him and clung to his leg.

"What do you want anyway?" The girl did not reply. She only laughed merrily and clung to his leg.

"Pretty hair!" she crowed and jumped on Inuyasha's hair. He screamed and grabbed at her, but the girl was incredibly evasive. Then he saw her take out a fan out of her kimono. She swept it forward and a small blade of wind sliced Inuyasha's hair so much that it became short enough to reveal part of the back of his head! Inuyasha grabbed her off and bonked her on the head. Big mistake.

"OOOOWWWW!!! HE HIT ME!!!" the little girl wailed. Kagome appeared in the doorway, her eyes narrowed.

"Don't say it Kagome. She cut off my hair and-" His words were interrupted by a loud chuckle from the teen. He looked up to see Kagome on the floor laughing her head off. Inuyasha felt his vision and his face turn a blazing red. How dare she?

"Wench! Stop laughing!" he roared. It took awhile, but Kagome finally stopped laughing and got up off the floor. That was when she noticed the sobbing girl near her. Instinctively she picked her up.

"What's wrong?" Kagome asked.

"He hit me!" she wailed. Kagome rubbed the girl's head, all the while glaring daggers at her partner.

"I guess your Kagura." she said. The tears came to an immediate halt.

"How do you know my name?" Kagura asked. Kagome was at a loss for words. What was she supposed to tell her? We know you because you're Naraku's greatest fighter and you've tried to kill us repeatedly? It took a minute or so, but she finally came up with an answer.

"Well, your father is busy with certain matters and he hired us to take care of you for a week. Is that alright?" Kagura thought about it for a moment, and then nodded her head. "Good! Now what should we do first?" Kagome said.

"I know! I know! We can play hide and seek!" Kagura exclaimed.

"You stupid bitch! Why did I let you rope me into this? I don't have time for these games!" Inuyasha bellowed. Kagome turned towards him.

"Just play along alright? You want that jewel shard don't you?"

"Fine. You hide and we'll seek." he sighed. Kagura dashed off to hide. The duo counted to ten and then began the hunt. Kagome taking the upstairs and Inuyasha taking the downstairs.

"Where are you? Come out, come out wherever you are." Kagome called playfully. She saw a shadow and instinctively turned towards it. "So there you are!" she exclaimed and reached towards the shadow, only to yank her hand back as a small lizard demon hissed and snapped at her. She quickly turned away. Nope, that wasn't her. Better look somewhere else.

*CHOMP*

"Oww!!" Kagome screamed as she looked down to see the demon chewing on her ankle. She shook her leg rapidly and shook the demon off. With incredible agility it jumped back at her, only to slam into Kagome's foot. It wheezed and staggered off.

"Jerk." Kagome muttered. She stormed off, ignoring the pain in her ankle. Just as she took another step, she slipped on a puddle of water. She was sent flying into the air to land painfully on her back and then to add insult to injury, she went sliding across the room and into the chamber ahead of her where Naraku happened to be sitting.

The impending crash was one that nobody would forget. Naraku turned around just in time to see a black haired teenager sliding towards him before she crashed into him, sending the demon spinning across the room like a hockey puck. Naraku slammed into the wall with such force that he bounced off of it and back into Kagome. She too was sent flying and rebounded off of a wall and into Naraku again. This time, he slammed into a table, destroying it and knocking over a potted plant which landed squarely on his head. He busied himself in trying to pry it off and when he did, his face was covered in dirt and he now sported a wilted flower on his head.

Kagome had not gotten it any better. She had rebounded like a pinball again and had crashed into another table, this one with a vase which went toppling over the side. Although the vase missed her, the table collapsed on her. When she came to, her vision was upside down. "I must have flipped over when I crashed." she thought. But that was the least of her problems. She then noticed that Naraku was looking at her with wide eyes. She realized at once what had happened and scrambled to her feet, pushing down her mini skirt.

"You humans have very interesting garments." Naraku remarked. He ducked out of the way as a sacred arrow whizzed by his head and blew a hole into the wall.

"Don't ever do that again!" Kagome snarled. "If you see me like that again Naraku, I'll make you eat your own miasma while I stab you with arrows!" She whirled around and stomped out of the room.

"Where are you bitch?" Inuyasha growled as he sniffed the floor. From the smell of things, the girl must have ran all over the room to spread her scent and confuse him. "What did I do to deserve this?" he groaned. Then he saw something dart behind a potted plant. "Found you wench." Inuyasha looked behind the plant just in time to look into the face of a dragon demon which happened to be breathing fire at the moment. Inuyasha screamed in pain as the fire charred his face. When he looked away, his face was totally black and smoking. The next moment the demon was shredded by the iron reaver soul stealer.

"Damn demon." he muttered. He walked off, rubbing soot and ash out of his eyes. He should never have let Kagome talk him into this. This was close to torture. He should also never have agreed to let Kagura hide. Inuyasha swore that once he found her, she was going to get the beating of her life. Inuyasha was just about to go down a hallway when a horrible screech echoed directly into his ear. He grimaced and fell to the ground twitching. He looked up to see a large crow sitting over him. He bared his teeth and began to attack, but the crow squawk directly into his dog ears. Inuyasha fell to the ground and convulsed again. The bird only continued it's hellish song into his ear. After what seemed like eternity, it stopped and flew away. Inuyasha lay on the ground twitching.

Some time later he got up and stumbled down the hallway and into a door. Instinctively, he opened it. It wouldn't have been so bad, had it not been for the fact that it led downwards into the basement. Inuyasha missed the first step and went flying down the stairs, tumbling head over heels into the dark, screaming the whole way. At the bottom, he crashed into a pile of junk, sending it flying every which way. Inuyasha picked himself up and snarled bitterly as he walked back up the stairs. "I hate my life." he muttered.

Kagome was still having no luck. She had looked everywhere and all she had found were some candy wrappers and Kagura's fan, but no sign of the wind geisha herself. She had also had the unpleasant experience of meeting more demons Naraku had created, which only added to the stress. "Maybe she's downstairs." Kagome thought. She descended to the lower level and found a burnt hanyou standing at the foot of the stairs. "What happened to you?" Kagome asked.

"Don't ask wench."

"I'm getting really tired of that you know." Kagome growled.

"Well if you'll stop acting like one I'll stop calling you that." he retorted. Kagome resisted the urge to sit him to death and helped him look. Then they found a door that they had not seen before. "She has to be in there. We've looked everywhere else." Kagome nodded and went in. Strangely, the door led to a large dome shaped room filled with water.

"Where are we?" Kagome asked. A moment later, a tentacle shot up and grabbed Inuyasha! Another came out of the water and grabbed Kagome. They both screamed as a gigantic octopus demon emerged from the center of the room. Atop it sat the one they had been searching for.

"Hi!" she called.

"What the hell are you doing in here?!" Inuyasha called back.

"I couldn't find a good place to hide so I found this neat place and met this cute octypus!" Kagura said, hugging the rubbery frame of the beast.

"Well could you tell it to let us go? We found you so make him stop!" Inuyasha said. Kagura made no reply. The octopus tightened it's grip on the two of them. Kagome took out her bow and loaded an arrow into it.

"Go sacred arrow!" she called and fired. The arrow became enveloped in purple light and struck the monster square in the center of its head. The monster disintegrated and dropped the two of them. Kagura did not seem upset at all. She seemed to be content swimming in the knee deep water. Kagome sighed with relief and Inuyasha snuck up behind Kagura and raised his fist.

"Sit!" Kagome commanded. There was a mighty splash as the hanyou was hurled into the floor yet again.

"Bitch." he muttered.

"I'm hungry." Kagura whined. "Puppy and Kagome-san make me dinner?"

"I told you my name is INUYASHA!!!" Inuyasha roared. The girl reoiled slightly. Then her lips quivered and she began to cry.

"Now you've hurt her feelings Inuyasha! Apologize right now!" Kagome hissed. She didn't know why she was sticking up for her enemy, but she was. Maybe it was the promise of a shikon shard, or maybe it was because Kagura couldn't kill them for a week. Nevertheless, she was sticking up for her and she didn't care about it at all. She went to Kagura and picked up her hands gently. "Calm down. Inuyasha just gets into bad moods every so often." she cooed. Inuyasha was so mad at this point that he actually for the first time wanted to throw away tetsusaiga and become a full demon again to teach them a lesson, but in the end he relented. He wouldn't go that far for the world.

Kagura sniffled. "Really?" she asked.

"Yes, it's just a phase, so calm down and we'll make dinner." Kagura giggled and got up. Kagome walked out of the room with a laughing wind sorceress and an angry hanyou behind her.

In the kitchen, Naraku was waiting. "Is it dinner already?" he asked. "Time sure flies eh?"

"Indeed." Kagome said. "Do you have some hot water? I can make Ramen for dinner." At the mentioning of the delicious ambrosia, Inuyasha jumped up and drooled slightly.

"What's Ramen?" Naraku asked.

"It's a kind of instant noodle mix in a broth. I'll need some hot water though." Naraku got another cauldron and boiled some water. Kagome, opened the ramen packets and poured them into the broth. Soon enough, the delicious smell of broth, vegetables, and meats filled the air. Inuyasha was drooling the whole time. He couldn't help it, he loved the stuff so much. At long last, the broth was done. Naraku got some bowls and handed them out. Inuyasha was first to the pot and served himself so much of the soup that it overflowed. Kagome got a bit for herself and poured a little bit for Kagura. Naraku was last.

"I must admit this is pretty good." Naraku said as he sipped the broth.

"Blasphemy! This is more then pretty good! It's ambrosia!" Inuyasha snarled. He suddenly blushed, not understanding why he had said that. Everybody else sweatdropped. Just as he was about to go for another cup of ramen, Kagura piped up.

"Can I have seconds?" she asked.

"Sure." Kagome said and got Kagura a second bowl. She gulped it down.

"More?" she asked.

"Don't you think you've had enough?" Naraku asked.

"NO!!" the girl roared with such force that everybody flinched for a moment. Then with a sigh, Kagome got more ramen for her. Once more she ate it and asked for another cup. This went on for some time until the pot was almost empty.

"Well I'd say that was a good dinner. What did you thi-" She did not finished her sentence as her eyes fell upon Kagura who was starting to look green and was rocking back and forth. Everybody knew at once what was going to happen. Naraku grabbed Kagura up and made a mad dash for the nearest chamber pot. But just before he could make it-

"EEEEEWWWWWWW!!!! KAGURA!!" There was the sound of angry cursing followed by the sound of somebody changing their clothes. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other and began to laugh. Then Naraku came in dressed in a ruby red kimono. They laughed harder.

"It was all I had." he growled. After a fit of laughter, Kagome and Inuyasha picked themselves up off of the ground. Kagura stumbled into the room.

"More?" she said weakly. Then she fell to the ground and sucked on her thumb. She soon fell asleep.

"I guess she's tired. Let's get her to bed." Kagome said. Naraku grabbed Kagura and sprinted out of the door and planted her on a futon in the other room. As he walked out, he saw on a clock that it was now seven fifteen. Time sure flies when you're doing something. Inuyasha yawned. He felt tired himself. He went upstairs, Kagome following closely behind him. He went into his assigned room and fell asleep.

In her room, Kagome was thinking to herself about the first day. "I have to admit it is harder then I thought it would be, but it's still easier then hunting for jewel shards." She sighed. "I wish Inuyasha wouldn't be so bitter. If Kagura remembers this when she turns back to normal, she might come after us before we can leave. I hope he can at least get used to it." Kagome changed into her pajamas and fell asleep.

Outside in the night, a wolf demon by the name of Koga was sniffing the ground. He had decided to pay Kagome a visit to see if she was willing to be his woman and had followed her scent all the way here, but he had not found a trace of her. "Kagome my dear, where are you?" he muttered. Then his nose caught scent of a much stronger scent. A dark, putrid scent with miasma entangled around it. And mingled in it was the Kagome's scent. Koga realized at once what had happened. His lips peeled back around his teeth and he hissed out one word. "Naraku!" Koga immediately shot off after the scent of the misma master as fast as he could. "You've gone to far Naraku. You've taken my woman and you will pay for this!" he yelled to the world as he dashed through the woods.

I hope it's better then last time. Reviews?
