A/N: Hey all! Updating again. 92.4 in Chemistry, which is .1 point from being a rounded A. I know, in South Carolina a 93-100 is an A. But anyway, I'm satisfied with my grade so I'll update faster. I got this chapter name from the Furi Kuri [FLCL] OST 1. You can find the whole thing on . I thought that this was the best background music for when Kagome wakes up, you know mayhem and all that jazz. Or maybe Advice is the better one, oh well, whatever.

[Disclaimer]: I don't own Inuyasha, FLCL, Rurouni Kenshin, or The Pillows. Though I do wish I owned Ride on Shooting Star. ::sigh::

~ * ~ Chapter 5: Sleepy Head ~ * ~

Morning found Kagome sleeping peacefully on her futon in her mahogany decked-out room. She was clutching a Kenshin plushie in an ancient Kung fu death grip. The poor wanderer's eyes were about to pop out. Something fat moved at the foot of her bed, then lazily leaped gracefully off.

Buyo. ::twitch twitch::

"Breakfast, Kagome!" her mother called from downstairs.

"No just five more minutes. Five minutes, mom." She rolled over onto her tummy and snuggled into her warm, silky pillow. Her warm, silky, hard pillow. Her warm, silky, hard pillow that felt strangely like a person.

Nani?!?

She bolted three feet up in the air, taking the precaution to cover her mouth just in case she screamed.

What the hell was. . . Sesshoumaru? doing in her house!

Just then warm hands grabbed her hips and slammed them against another. "Good morning, and happy belated birthday." Then she remembered all of last night; how wonderful it felt to be fully complete again after so many months of wanting and how he felt inside of her, giving and taki—

Woah!

"Why are you still here?"

Sesshoumaru looked at her like she was crazy. "Because I was sleepy, why else." His answer hurt her slightly, but she was determined not to show.

"Kagome, I said your breakfast is ready. Where are you?"

Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru with disdain. "Are you purposefully trying to get me in trouble?"

"No, you said everyone was gone."

"Actually, I said my brother and sister were gone, not my parents! I have to hide you somewhere, they know I don't sleep this [1:42 p.m.] late."

Kagome jerked him up and regretted it the instant she did it. "Where are your clothes?!?" Sesshoumaru looked down then grinned sheepishly, "I guess I must have dropped them somewhere." He took a predatory step closer to her, then another and another until he was a hair's breath away from her face. Close enough to kiss.

"Wake up sleepy head, Sango's here." Kagome started to panic as she heard her father's heavy footfalls thunder up the stairs. He couldn't hide under the futon it was much to low to the floor. The only place was the newly added walk-in closet. She pushed him inside with the rest of her clothes and slammed the door just in time for. . . Kikyo to come in?

"Your friend Sango is here and you will go down soon," it sounded more like a statement than a question coming from Kikyo's lips. She looked around the room suspiciously, as if she knew there was a mortal enemy on the premises. "Why do you look so flustered, Kagome? Had a wild time last night?" she probed with her intense brown eyes. It was really scary how the twins were the alike but different all the same.

Kagome looked down guiltily and shuffled her feet on the polished wood floor. "Yeah, it was pretty wild but cut short just a little." Something fell in the closet and bumped hard on the sliding door.

"Che."

Kikyo looked up at her little sister [by 2:25 minutes, count the minutes dammit!] and smiled. "Oh, little Kagome finally grew up and became a woman! No wonder you woke up so late." Kagome's face went into overkill and turned six different shades of red. She sputtered indignantly. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Oh mister, you mind as well come out."

Sesshoumaru slid the door open and sneezed, "I think there's something dead in there, Kagome, you might want to check up on that."

Kikyo gasped in surprise, ther-there was a Setsu in her home! The outrage! The monstrosity!

"What the hell is he doing here?" Kikyo whispered vehemently, going from the loving big sister to the pissed-off scolding mother.

Sesshoumaru looked at Kikyo as if seeing her for the first time; she really did look like Kagome. Meanwhile, Kagome looked as if she would rather dig up a large hole and die of embarrassment. "I swear I can explain. . ."

"No, no explanations needed. I can see—"

"Really, Kagome, you should learn how to put up a good argument." Sesshoumaru looked pointedly and Kagome for a second before he switched his gaze back to Kikyo. "You will not tell of our. . . situation when you two get downstairs."

"And why the hell not?" Kikyo spat. Her father said all Setsu's were scum. She couldn't understand why her sister, the most loved by her father, would be dealing with one of them, let along sleeping with them.

"Because, you wouldn't want Kagome to tell your father what you really do a Yura's house, do you?" Kikyo looked doubtful for a second, how did he know that? Then she chanced a sideways glance at Kagome to find her trying to hide behind the much taller Sesshoumaru. "Kagome, did you tell him? I can't believe you."

"I didn't tell him anything, I swear—"

"She didn't, you know."

"Then how to you know?"

"He's a guy and he brags to Miroku all the time, the perv."

Kikyo turned an interesting pink color and nodded her head, swallowing her pride. "Alright, I agree. You don't tell, I won't." She swept out of the room swiftly without looking at Kagome and closed the sliding door gently, trying to get all attention away from Kagome's door.

~ * ~

Kagome peeked at Sesshoumaru from behind her dark lashes and sighed when she saw he was putting his clothes on again. That was really scary. If her father found out. . . She didn't even want to think about if her father found out about her and Sesshoumaru. He would probably have a heart attack.

"You jerk! I can't believe you said that to her."

"Would you have rather let the whole family find out and mine?"

Kagome looked at him for a moment longer before shaking her head.

Kami.

"Maybe you should leave, breakfast was ready awhile ago."

Sesshoumaru nodded and started to climb out of the window onto the rose wall but thought better of it. He grabbed Kagome from behind gently and kissed her neck. He trailed hot and wet kisses down her neck to her arms before he stopped. He used his hold on her to turn her around and began showering kisses all over her face. The taste of her, what was it? He couldn't describe it, just that he couldn't get enough of it. Her body was like a drug that he couldn't live without, or a fire to keep him warm on cold nights that seemed to occur every night now.

"I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course, tomorrow's Monday."

He kissed her then disappeared out the window.

IMPORTANT!!!

The prologue is the end, what you're reading now is a couple of months prior to the findings of the bodies and whatnot.

FINISHED WITH THE IMPORTANT!!!

A/N: There it is, Chapter 5. I don't think I'm really happy with this story, but oh well. I'm determined to finish it, unlike that other one where I got only 2 reviews for. By the way, whoever said God is a woman is sadly mistaken. Because what woman in their right mind would create the menstruation cycle?
