Yeh, well anyways, thank you all for the reviews and I hope that I can get up to 200 or more. Well, anyways, I have nothing more to say other than enjoy the chapter!

College is Life & College is Hell

"Ok class, settle down. Settle down please………QUIET!!!"

The whole class shut up instantly, knowing that they'd be in major trouble if they didn't, judging by the tone and volume of Ms. Krueger's voice.

"That's better," Ms. Krueger's voice softened a bit. "Now, today we're going to be taking a look at our scripts. Stay quiet while I pass them out."

Around 2 weeks had passed since the results of the tryouts had been posted. Everyone who had gotten a part had been waiting for the scripts to come out. For two weeks they had been studying the history of the performance that they were going to do. Ms. Krueger, Sesshoumaru, and a few other students had been working on the scripts whenever they had time to spare. Inuyasha wasn't at all pleased when he found out that his brother would be writing the scripts.

"He's gonna make this term hell for me. I just know it," Inuyasha grumbled for the tenth time in a row. Kagome sighed for the tenth time in a row.

"Inuyasha, he's not going to destroy your life by making the script bad," she reassured him. "I know he won't." Inuyasha just snorted.

"Trust me Kag, that loser will do anything to make my life totally miserable."

"You'd better believe him Kagome," Miroku stepped in. "They're brothers, so Inuyasha here should know what he's talking about." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Fine, you guys win for now, but don't be too surprised when you find out that I'm right." With that said, Kagome had walked off. Now she and Inuyasha both sat next to each other, both thinking that the other was wrong. Ms. Krueger gave both of them scripts before moving on to the other students. Each of their character's names was written on the top right corner of the cover. The cover was a light blue color with silver and gold twisting around the edges. The words "A Feudal Fairytale" were printed in gold in the middle of the cover. Inuyasha snorted when he read it, causing Kagome to glance over at him.

"They're making it sound like one of the stores that 1st graders read!" he exclaimed. Kagome chose to ignore him for the time being and flipped the cover over so that she could start reading the script. Her eyes quickly looked over the page before she turned to the next one. Her lines began on page 4, all of them highlighted in pink. She heard Inuyasha give a sound of amazement and looked over at him again. His mouth was hanging open and his wide eyes continued to read his lines.

"I don't believe it," he said in astonishment. "He didn't try to make me sound like a total ass. All the lines seem…..normal." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"See, I told you he wouldn't. Besides, even if he had wanted to, Ms. Krueger wouldn't have let him." Inuyasha sighed and looked at her.

"Yeh, I guess so."

"Glad we finally agree on something," she said, looking back down at her script. She skipped ahead a few pages and nearly gagged when she read what would happen when she met Sango and Miroku for the first time. "Eww, Miroku's gonna grope me," she said in clear disgust.

"What?! When?!" Inuyasha yelled, causing a few people to look over at them. Kagome pointed to the line and he read it, eye twitching. He gave a small growl. "If he gropes you for real then he's dead." Kagome gave a small smile.

"What's the matter Inu? Jealous?" she asked in a teasing voice. Inuyasha thought about what he had just said and turned red.

"Me? Jealous of you? Feh, as if." He turned his head away, trying to make the redness drain away from his face. Kagome just laughed.

"Whatever you say Inu." Inuyasha feh'd. They heard their teacher speak again.

"One you have all read over at least the first few pages of the script then we will begin to practice. Sesshoumaru-san will be giving the tech people lessons on how to work the lights, curtains, and the other equipment. I will take over for him when it's his turn to speak. Now, once you have finished reading pages 1-15 I want you all to walk up onto the stage and sit down. The tech people should go with Sesshoumaru-san now." Almost 1/3 of the class, including Sesshoumaru, stood up and walked into another room that connected to the stage.

Inuyasha and Kagome were the first to finish reading. Once they both sat down on the stage, Miroku and Sango followed them. The rest of the class joined them soon after. Once they were all sitting, Ms. Krueger walked to the middle of the stage and had everyone turn to face her.

"We will spend the rest of class practicing the pages you just read. We may not get through all of them, but I would be glad if we did. Now then, Inuyasha, would you please stand up?" Inuyasha did what he was asked. "Inuyasha, you'll begin the play by running through the stage, dodging the people who'll be the villagers. You'll also be carrying the Shikon no Tama. You'll then say your lines, and try to say them as triumphantly as possible. Kikyou, can you please stand up?" Kikyou rose. "The lights will shine on you while he's running. You'll shoot him with your arrows, do your death scene, and then we switch over to Kagome." Kikyou scowled.

"Why do I have to die?" she whined. "Why can't she die?" Kikyou pointed at Kagome. Everyone blinked and some people sweatdropped.

"Because Kikyou, you made the part of Kikyou, and therefore you are the one who has to do the death scene," Ms. Krueger explained. "Now then, I think we're ready to being. You don't have to do the actions yet, but if you want to then you can. Inuyasha, stand at the back left section of the stage. Kikyou, you stand at the right middle section. You may both start reading your lines when I tell you." The two moved to the sections where they were placed. Inuyasha was not happy about getting 'killed' by someone as weak as Kikyou. At least it was just a play…

"At last, the Shikon no Tama is mine!" Inuyasha exclaimed triumphantly. "Now I can finally become a youkai instead of staying the hanyou that I am." Kikyou then spoke her line.

"Inuyasha!" Her voice held the same slutty and bitchy tone that it always had.

"Kikyou, your expression and tone have to hold anger. Inuyasha has just betrayed you. You're furious with him!" Ms. Krueger said. Kikyou blinked stupidly.

"Inuyasha didn't betray me. Naraku did," she stated. A few people snickered at her idiocy. Ms. Krueger shook her head.

"Kikyou, your character doesn't know that Naraku was the one who betrayed her. She thinks Inuyasha did. Be your character," Ms. Krueger replied. Kikyou sighed and closed her eyes. When they were opened again they held fury and hate.

"Inuyasha!!" she shouted, her tone matching her eyes. She pulled back the non-existent arrow and released it. Inuyasha gave a fake yell of pain and clutched his shoulder, as if the 'arrow' had pierced it. He looked back up from his shoulder to Kikyou.

"Damn it Kikyou," he swore quietly. "You….I thought…" He suddenly went limp, though he remained standing. Kikyou knelt down and pretended to pick up something off the ground. She then looked down at her script, then up at Ms. Krueger.

"Ok, who's the girl gonna be?" she asked. Inuyasha came out of him limp state and also looked at the teacher. Ms. Krueger looked around and then gestured towards Rin, who was sitting next to Sango.

"Rin, why don't you be the girl for now?" she asked. Rin's eyes widened slightly.

"Me Ms. Krueger?" Her teacher nodded. "But, I'm no good at acting." Ms. Krueger smiled at her.

"Don't worry Rin, I'm sure that you'll do fine. You don't even have to do it if you really don't want to. I'll just pick someone else." Rin sighed.

"Ok, I'll be the girl," she agreed. She stood up.

"Wonderful. I'll give you a script and you just need to stand next to Kikyou. Your line is first." Rin nodded and took a script from her. Rin flipped to the page that the others were on and walked over to Kikyou. She glanced at her lines before looking up at Kikyou with fake worry and concern.

"Kikyou-sama, you're wounded," she said. Kikyou looked at her own lines.

"Burn the Shikon no Tama with my body. No one must ever get it." Kikyou then fell over and lay still. Rin fell to her knees next to her.

"Kikyou-sama!" she yelled. "Kikyou-sama!!"

Everyone clapped and cheered, and Kikyou stood up, brushing herself off. Rin also rose, looking at the ground in embarrassment. "That has to be one of the dirtiest floors I've ever been on," Kikyou said in disgust. "It's revolting!" Everyone ignored her. The bell then rang, signaling the end of the lesson.

"Great job everyone!" Ms. Krueger said loudly as everyone began to pack up and head to their next class. "Try to read a few more pages of your script if you have time. Have a good rest of the day and I'll see you all tomorrow." Kagome, Sango, and Miroku all walked over to their friends.

"You were awesome guys!" Kagome squealed. The other two nodded in agreement. Inuyasha grinned as his ego raised a few notches.

"Eh, it was nothing," he said, shrugging. Rin remained silent.

"You were great too Rin-chan," Sango said. "I didn't know that you could act that well." Rin shook her head.

"But I CAN'T act!" she insisted. No one listened.

"Rin, you can act just as well as the rest of us if not better," Kagome said. Again her friend denied it.

"Rin, you can act, so stop your arguing." Everyone turned towards the new voice. Sesshoumaru was walking behind them with a slightly bored look on his face. Rin visibly paled when she saw him.

"S-sesshoumaru," Rin said, a small stutter in her voice. "Where you…did you see that?" He nodded.

"Hai, and I'm impressed with your performance Rin," he said. Rin blinked in surprise. "You know, I think that Ms. Krueger would allow you to have that part if you wished to have it."

"But, what about the costumes?" Rin asked, her face pink. "I mean, would I still be able to do them?"

"It's only a small part Rin," Sesshoumaru replied. "I'm sure that Ms. Krueger would allow you to do both of them." Rin's eyes lit up.

"Alright, I'll do it. Arigatou Sess!" She threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. Sesshoumaru, surprised at her sudden display of affection, patted her on the back awkwardly. Everyone else just gapped at them. What they didn't know was that someone else was glaring at the couple, jealousy clouding her eyes. She jumped slightly when someone unexpectedly tapped her lightly on the shoulder. She turned around to face the person.

"What?!" the woman hissed. The other was unfazed by the woman's cold tone.

"I wanted to talk to you about something," the other said. The woman glared at her.

"Can't you see that I'm busy?" she whispered angrily, looking back at the group to make sure they hadn't heard or saw her. Fortunately for her they didn't.

"This cannot wait Kagura! If we want to have this conversation alone we need to do it now!" Kagura sighed, her red eyes flashing, but faced the other with her arms crossed.

"Alright then, what is it you want? And this had better be good Kikyou." Kikyou nodded and looked around to make sure no one was listening in. Kagura rolled her eyes. 'What a paranoid bitch,' she thought. (LMAO!!! I couldn't resist! XD)

"Well, I've heard some interesting things about you're brother. You're twin brother to be exact," Kikyou stated. Kagura just looked at her blankly.

"Yeah. And?" Kagura asked.

"For example, your brother is a drug-dealer, a supposed murderer…..and is hiding and controlling illegal demons," Kikyou continued. Kagura's eyes narrowed.

"And what makes you think that all these stories are true?" Kagura asked.

"The real question is, are they true? And don't lie to me Kagura, 'cause I'll know." Kagura remained silent. Kikyou smirked slightly. "I won't tell anyone if that's what you want." Kagura sighed.

"Yes, all the stories are true. But was this all that you wanted to hear, or was there something else?" The other girl nodded.

"That Kagome girl is getting to be, how do I put this……annoying. I want to make sure that she doesn't come between Inuyasha and me."

"So you want my brother to set a demon after her," Kagura finished. Kikyou's smirk widened.

"Very good. If you agree to do this and contact your brother, tell him about the field trip and that I want him to attack when it's going on. I'll find out the where and when later." Kagura nodded in understanding.

"Very well, I'll discuss this with him, but he'll want to be paid. Are you sure that no one else knows about this?" the red-eyed woman asked.

"The only other person who knows is Hikaru, you know, that quiet one who sometimes hangs around in my group?"

"I know which one you're talking about," Kagura stated.

"Oh yes, and that reminds me," Kikyou said. "Hikaru also wants your brother to do her a favor. To eliminate the brown-haired girl in Kagome's group." Her eye twitched as Kagome's name slid out of her mouth. Kagura just smirked.

"Tell her that I'll do my best to grant her wish. I'm guessing that she's attracted to the short-haired male?" Kikyou nodded in response. "Thought so. I'll see my brother as soon as I can Kikyou. Now then, I don't wish to be late for class. I'll be off now," Kagura said, brushing past Kikyou.

"Um, actually Kagura…." Kikyou said, causing Kagura to stop. The bell suddenly rang, signaling the beginning of classes. Kagura slapped her forehead, now running.

"Damn…" Kagura muttered. "And I have math this hour too…"

"Finally, it's lunchtime. Thank god," Inuyasha said, cracking his back as he walked next to his friends and brother. "My stomach has been screaming at me for the past hour." Kagome snickered.

"Your stomach screams at you even after you feed it," she said. "Guess it's always because you feed it ramen and nothing nutritious." Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Well excuse me for not being perfect wench," he grumbled. Kagome just gave him a look while the others ignored them.

"Sit boy," the raven-haired women muttered. Inuyasha looked at her blankly. "What? I have to say it all the time in the play, so I thought that I might as well get used to saying it."

"It's not like I'm gonna fall flat on my face every time you say that in public Kag," Inuyasha replied. "Its hard enough just doing that in the performance." Kagome was about to reply, when Inuyasha spotted the cafeteria and made a run for it, barely dodging Sesshoumaru and Rin. Everyone gave him a blank look while bystanders tried to get out of the way of Inuyasha. Only a few succeeded. Once they had all sat down, Rin changed the topic to something else.

"So, what are we gonna do for the Halloween party at the end of this month?" Rin said, sipping on her chocolate milk. When no one answered her, she looked at them and said, "You mean none of you have thought about costumes?" Everyone shook their heads.

"Don't you think we're all kind of old for that Rin?" Inuyasha asked, slurping his ramen. Kagome bonked him on the head for talking with his mouth full.

"Hey, I wanna have as much fun as I can before I have to focus on jobs and being a mother," Rin said dryly, "so I think going to the party will be a great opportunity. Besides, everyone else is going from what I gathered."

"But Rin, the party is only a month away," Kagome replied. "How are we gonna plan and make costumes in such a short time?" Rin went chibi.

"Don't need to worry about that Kagome! I've already got costumes planned out for all of us!" Everyone looked at her blankly as she pulled a few papers out of her bag. She noticed this after setting the last sheet down. "What? Did you guys actually assume that I listen during math?"

"Point taken. Even Sesshoumaru doesn't listen when it comes down to that subject," Inuyasha said. He was answered by a whack in the head by Sesshoumaru. When Inuyasha finished glaring at his brother and turned back to his ramen, he discovered that the ramen box was gone.

"You're right Inuyasha, this ramen is pretty good," Miroku said, helping himself to some more of the ramen.

"Hey! Lay off creep, that's my ramen!" Inuyasha tackled Miroku and soon both boys were on the ground fighting over the remaining amount of ramen. Kagome picked up a few of the sheets of paper that Rin had drawn on and looked at them, ignoring the fact that chairs and people were being knocked over left and right from the fighting.

"I really like the details on these Rin. I like these two the most." She pointed to two of the sheets. One of them had a woman drawn in manga form while the other was a man. The woman had on a tight black out-fit that covered almost all of her body. There were also knee pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, and some sort of armor protecting the torso from in front and behind. The torso armor was held in place by a long sash while the shoulder pads were attached to cloth that criss-crossed over the back and came up from below the shoulders. The clothes for the man had to be the most elegant and the most difficult design that Kagome had ever seen. The basic outfit consisted of baggy white pants and a haori (I think that's the type of shirt it is) with long, flowing sleeves. There was also a belt that tied in a bow in the front and then flowed down to the knees, two swords that were held to the boy by the belt, armor that covered the entire chest and circled around one arm, and a HUGE fluffy thing that wrapped around the other arm and hung down from behind. Rin nodded happily at Kagome's comment.

"The female one is for Sango, and the one with the elegant clothes is for Sess." Rin flushed slightly as she took the design from Kagome and handed it to Sesshoumaru. He looked it over while Sango looked at her costume from her place next to Kagome. "The costume with the miko look to it is yours Kagome, and the monk costume is for Miroku while the baggy red costume is Inuyasha's." Both of the fighting boys looked over at her when she mentioned their names. Inuyasha had one hand wrapped around Miroku's throat with the other fist raised while Miroku had been painfully trying to pull a large amount of hair from Inuyasha's head. They leapt up off the ground and grabbed their costume pictures, examining them carefully. Rin glanced over at Sesshoumaru shyly while he studied his costume.

"What about your costume Rin?" Sango asked. "Did you do yours as well?"

 Rin lowered her head and muttered, "It's not very good. I still have a long way to go on it."

"You mean this picture right here?" Sesshoumaru spoke up, holding out a picture that the group hadn't noticed before. Rin looked at it and flushed.

"Hey, I don't remember pulling that out," she said, reaching out to try to grab it. Sesshoumaru just pulled it a few inches out of her reach, looking at it. Inuyasha, having longer arms than Rin, snatched the picture out of Sesshoumaru's grasp while the others looked over his shoulder at it. Rin gave them all dark looks.

"Wow Rin," Sango gasped. "You really out-did yourself with this one." It was true, too. The costume was a long kimono that probably would have been worn by the ladies of great importance back in the feudal era. The bottom of the kimono was colored a deep azure color that faded into white as you looked up. The sash that held it together was a sparkling, light purple color that tied tightly at the side of the waist before falling down past the knees. The ends of the long sleeves were the same as the bottom of the kimono, but they had small, light purple dragons dancing across them. Azure was also blended into the shoulders of the kimono.

"It sort of looks like it would go with Sesshoumaru's costume," Inuyasha stated, looking back and forth between the two drawings. Rin's flush deepened, for she had indeed been thinking that as she drew the two outfits. Kagome seemed to sense her friend's embarrassment, for she quickly took them slightly off topic.

"So Rin, how are we gonna find time to do all these?" Rin looked up at her before taking the pictures back and stuffing them into her bag.

"Well, most of these costumes are also what I was gonna make for the performance, and since that and the party are only a few weeks off, I thought that it would be a good idea. I'd have almost and hour and a half to do them each day, maybe more on the weekends."

"Great idea Rin," Kagome said, smiling. "Maybe this Saturday Sango and I can help you pick out materials at the fabric store not too far off campus." Rin grinned, her blush fading.

"That'd be perfect!" she exclaimed. "Thanks guys."

"Hey, I wanna see my costume done as quickly as possible," Sango said, patting Rin on the shoulder. "I wanna see how much better the real thing is from the drawing."

"The costume isn't the best part," Rin mentioned, going from being overly shy to as chatty as a squirrel. "There's also this HUUUGE boomerang that goes with it. I'm gonna make it like six feet tall!" The guys all blinked.

"Why is she gonna have a boomerang with her? Is she like a collector or something?" Inuyasha's dumb statement earned him another bonk on the head. Rin rolled her eyes.

"As if. Sango's supposed to be a demon exterminator, and the boomerang is just the weapon she uses to exterminate demons with," Rin explained.

"Can it be used against perverted guys as well?" Sango asked, giving Miroku a dry look as he pulled his wandering hand away from her backside. Rin giggled.

"Yep, those too. All of you are supposed to have weapons actually, except for me that is. Miroku is supposed to have a staff, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru have a katana, although Sesshoumaru needs two instead of one, and Kagome has a bow and a quiver of arrows. Of course, you don't have to take those to the party. The weapons are mainly for the performance, but I guess you guys could take them if you wanted to."

"That sounds great Rin!" Sango said happily. "When will you start on them?"

"Well, I was hoping to get the fabric and supplies this weekend….." Rin sighed, "But I'm broke and I don't know when I'll be able to buy all of them."

"Don't worry Rin-chan, we'll help you," Kagome said happily. "Grab your wallets everyone; we're going to the mall this weekend!!" She jumped up and threw her arms in the air cheerleader style, causing everyone to look at her blankly. She sat down, not noticing that the group and a few more were staring at her. "Oh yeah, you guys will be going with us ^_^."

"Well, as long I'm with my dear Sango then I'd be happy to go," Miroku said, winking at Sango. She flushed and whacked him lightly on the shoulder, causing him to chuckle. The other two, however, had completely different reactions.

"What?!?! No way!!!" Inuyasha yelled. "I'm not going to a mall!! That's for girls!!" Kagome gave him a look.

"Come on Inuyasha, I see boys at the mall all the time," Kagome stated. Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Those are all the gay guys that go. I still refuse." Everyone could see flames swirling around Kagome as she glared at Inuyasha.

"YOU'LL GO TO THE MALL WITH US SO THAT WE CAN HELP RIN-CHAN GET THE FABRIC, OR ELSE YOU'LL BE GOING OUT ON THE STAGE NAKED!!!! IS THAT CLEAR?!?!" Inuyasha was now cowering in his seat, along with around 200 other people in the room.

"Yes Kag…." Inuyasha whimpered. Sesshoumaru just sighed lightly.

"Just my luck that my stupid half-brother decided to go with the crazy wench," he muttered. Rin, unfortunately, heard him and rounded on him in a heartbeat.

"Yo, Sesshoumaru, she's not a crazy wench, and if you say anything like that again, then I'll have no choice but to challenge you." Everyone just stared at her while Sesshoumaru looked at her coolly.

"I doubt you'd win," Sesshoumaru replied. Rin leaned closer to his face, eyes narrowed.

"Wanna take this outside now so that you'll see how bad I can kick you ass?" Rin said coldly. Sesshoumaru also leaned closer, giving her an equally dark look.

"Don't be surprised if you come back with scars on your face," he told her. Rin leaned even closer.

"Don't you be surprised if you come back with chunks of your hair missing." Sesshoumaru leaned closer as well. Now the two were almost touching noses.

"Are you threatening me woman?"

"Yes I am. You got a problem with that?"

"Actually, yes."

"Too bad."

Unnoticed by them, Kagome and Inuyasha were looking back and forth between them and each other. Finally, two very evil smirks spread slyly across their faces as they got the same horrible idea at the same time. Nodding to each other, Inuyasha put his hand on the back of Sesshoumaru's head while Kagome did the same with Rin, and with one small push brought the two together, causing their lips to meet. The two's eyes widened as a sudden warm, tingling feeling ran from their connected lips all the way through their body. They stared at each other, not quite realizing what was going on at first, before forcing themselves to break the kiss and glaring at the others. Miroku and Sango were laughing their asses off while Kagome and Inuyasha just grinned innocently at them.

"KAGOME HIGURASHI, YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!" Rin screamed, diving at her and missing. Kagome laughed and ran out of the cafeteria while Rin ran after her, yelling random swear words after her. Sesshoumaru, who rarely showed emotions other than annoyance or boredom, was now royally pissed and everyone could tell.

"JUST WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU WEAKLING!" he roared, running after Inuyasha, who had taken the liberty of giving himself a head-start. Sango looked after them, still giggling.

"Think we should try to save them?" Sango asked, turning to Miroku. He grinned at her.

"We might as well…..but can I have a kiss too?" Sango bonked him and rolled her eyes, ignoring his cute puppy-dog-eyed look now gone swirly.

"Come on Miroku, let's go." She got up and walked out of the room, Miroku ran after her after he recovered from his swirly-eyed state, calling to her to wait up.

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

"Come back here wench! Give me the Shikon no Tama!!"

"Miroku-sama! Sango-chan! Help me!!"

"Kagome-sama, use the word that holds his spirit!!"

"A word that holds his spirit? Which one is it?!"

"It doesn't matter. The word you choose is the one that can leash him!"

"Word, word…. um, ah…………OSUWARI!!"

"……."

"Come on Inuyasha, you're supposed to fall to the ground!"

"Keh, like I would lower myself to that."

"Just do it Inuyasha, it's not that hard."

"No."

"It's in the fricken script, so just do it!!"

"Keh." Kagome stormed over to Inuyasha, who had his arms crossed and was narrowing his eyes at her. She grabbed one of his ears and screamed into it.

"OSUWARI!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha doubled over in pain, and Kagome took this chance to kick him in the shins, causing him to slam face-first onto the ground. "There, now that wasn't so bad, was it Inu?" She smiled at him sweetly while he slowly raised his head to look at her.

"Bitch…" Before he had a chance to dive at her, Ms. Krueger's yell interfered.

"There will be no fighting or swearing in here, and you do whatever the script tells you to do unless I say otherwise, IS THAT CLEAR?!?!" Inuyasha stood up as Kagome lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Yes Ms. Krueger," both muttered. Ms. Krueger smiled.

"Good, now…" Before she had a chance to complete her sentence, the bell rang, calling for the end of class. "Oh, it's time to go already. Alright, you're homework for tonight is to work on your lines and try to memorize what we've gone over so far. I'll see you tomorrow!" The class packed up their stuff and filed out of the room. Sesshoumaru and Rin walked ahead of the other four while they talked.

"Say, um…Kag?"

"What is it Inu?"

"Listen, um…do you think Miroku and I could practice in your girls' dorm?"

"….Lemme guess, Sesshoumaru is still pissed." Inuyasha sighed and nodded.

"He tries to hit me with Toukijin whenever he can."

"Yeah, Rin's been pretty cold too, but it doesn't seem like those two are gonna break apart anytime soon."

"I know. So….can we?" Kagome looked at Sango, who shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess it would be ok," Kagome replied.

"Cool. We'll come over after classes are done."

"Ok," Sango said. There was a loud SLAP! after that. Sango stormed ahead while Kagome and Inuyasha tried to wake Miroku up…again.

~~

After classes were over, Miroku and Inuyasha went with Kagome and Sango to their dorm. Sesshoumaru disappeared into his dorm while Rin walked off to do her homework outside. The boys were surprised to find the room almost as messy as theirs. Not quite as messy, but messy enough to make them feel comfortable. Kagome sat down on her bed and started rummaging through her bag for her script while Sango walked over to their little fridge and took out some Cokes, tossing three of them to the guys and Kagome while keeping a Sprite for herself. Miroku took his script out of his bag while Inuyasha took a slightly crumpled script out of his pocket. Kagome tossed Sango her script while flipping to the part they were supposed to practice.

"Ok, let's start at the part where Inuyasha's chasing after Kagome and Miroku curses him," Kagome said while the others opened their scripts to the part that she had mentioned. "Ok Inuyasha, it's your line." Inuyasha set down his coke and began.

"Give me the jewel wench, or I'll have to start sharpening my claws on you," Inuyasha growled evilly. Miroku stepped forward.

"Kagome-sama, you must not give him the jewel!" Miroku exclaimed. "If you do, then he'll kill all of us and more!" Inuyasha smirked.

"Doesn't really matter now, does it monk. Even if she doesn't give it to me, I'll just kill you all anyways and then take it." Sango stepped over next to Miroku.

"Houshi-sama, use the prayer beads!" Miroku sighed and put his hand in his pocket, pulling out an imaginary necklace.

"Who thought it would have resulted in this?" he thought out loud. Inuyasha turned to Kagome and raised his hand, as though her were going to attack her.

"Say good-bye wench," he said. He waited for a bit before putting his hand to his neck in surprised. "What the hell is this?" He pretended to try to take something off, but it didn't look like he was succeeding.

"Those prayer beads aren't coming of Inuyasha," Miroku said. Inuyasha growled at him before looking over at Kagome and turning towards her.

"Come back here wench! Give me the Shikon no Tama!" he yelled. Kagome turned her head to look at Inuyasha.

"Miroku-sama! Sango-chan! Help me!!" she screamed.

"Kagome-chan, use the word that holds his spirit!!" Sango yelled back.

"A word that holds his spirit? Which one is it?!" Kagome looked paniced, and she kept looking back and forth between all of them.

"It doesn't matter. The word you choose is the one that can leash him!"

"Word, word…. um, ah…………OSUWARI!!" Inuyasha tensed, glancing over at Kagome, before closing his eyes and falling face-first onto the ground. He looked up at Miroku and glared murderously at him, trying to regain his wounded pride.

"What the hell did you do to me monk?" he growled. Miroku glanced down at his script.

"Word please." Kagome smiled sweetly at Inuyasha.

"Osuwari." Inuyasha let his face hit the ground again before standing up and dusting himself off. Kagome grinned at him. "You see Inuyasha! It's not really as bad as you think it is." Inuyasha snorted.

"Yeah, why don't you try hitting the ground a few times and see how easy you can regain you're pride." Kagome giggled.

"Ok Inuyasha, I believe you. Now let's do this until we get it memorized." Inuyasha grumbled to himself while Miroku whispered to Sango.

"This is going to be amusing," he whispered while Sango nodded. Inuyasha heard them and glared at them before saying his first line again.
