Chapter Two

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.

Kagome was in her room, sitting on her bed, reading a book. Then her alarm clock rang and she lazily looked out her window.

"Sunset already?" she asked herself.

She got up from her bed, placing a bookmark in the book and setting it down. She stretched her arms out and let out a loud yawn.

"Ohh.. I got to go get Inuyasha from Souta. That can wait," Kagome let out a small giggle that seemed like she had something up her sleeve.

*******

"Hey guys! Wait up!" Serena hollered from her house door. She ran out, slipping her brand new red tennis shoes on, trying not to fall.

"Huh?" Four girls turned to see Serena waving her hand at them and they looked at each other with a shrug and a sigh.

Serena pulled down her red and black shirt sleeves down and shivered. "What are we doing so late at night? I mean.. It's already - "

Before Serena could finish, Raye interrupted by saying, "You know guys, we should tell Serena what we're doing.. I mean it's just rude of us not to. Don't you agree?" She winked slightly at Amy, who supposedly got the joke.

"Yes, you are correct, Raye." Amy shot Serena a cute, innocent smile.

Serena blinked a few times until she pointed her finger at Raye. "What are you up to now, Raye?"

"Nothing, Serena," she shrugged it of with a nod of her head.

*******

Kagome walked down the stairs, wondering why there was no hollering or blurting out in his room. Maybe Souta took Inuyasha outside or something. Who knows?

She walked into the kitchen and opened up the ramen cupboard when she heard the sudden noise.

"No More!" Inuyasha screamed. "Stay away from me with that stuff!"

Kagome peeked out of the kitchen, when she saw Inuyasha at the bottom of the stairs. She walked out and tapped him on his right shoulder. "Inu…Yasha?"

Inuyasha turned around only to be seen with make-up on his face. It looked like he had on foundation and light pink blush. Also, she could see a shading of red behind his eyelids where his golden eyes stared her down with embarrassment. "Ka..Kagome." He gulped, trying not to make the light pink blush look even darker as he blushed himself.

Kagome let out a mental squeal of laughter in her head as Inuyasha looked down to the floor. "Inuyasha.. what's wrong?"

Inuyasha glared up at her and then pointed up the stairs to Souta who was holding rose lipstick. "That. Him." he let out the ramble of words and muttered something Kagome couldn't hear as he crossed his arms over his chest and growled deeply.

"Souta, thank you. And no more of this.. Got it?" Kagome shot Souta a glare that said "never-do-this-kind-of-thing-again." and Souta nodded and then ran off into his room.

Kagome didn't care Souta had been in her room. She was probably sleeping when he took it. She looked back to Inuyasha and sighed. "Well, I better get you cleaned up then, huh?" She felt sorry for Inuyasha, who apparently was now trying to remove the make-up stuff from his face with his red kimono sleeve.

"Huh?" He moved his eyes up to her and nodded slightly. "I guess so." He grimly said.

Kagome started up the stairs and Inuyasha followed. They reached the bathroom when there was a ring from the doorbell.

"Who could that be this late at night?" It had now turned 7:17 p.m. She turned to Inuyasha and spoke quickly, "Wash your face off with the soap in the cupboard and use the washcloth from the bathtub. I'll be back up her as soon as I see -" Before she finished, the bell rang again and she ran downstairs. Inuyasha got the point.

*******

Kagome opened the door up to reveal Serena and the other girls. She raised a brow in slight confusion. "What are you all doing here this late?" She asked.

"Well, Kagome, we have news for you. It's good news.. I think.." Serena rambled. She seemed a bit confused herself.

Amy blinked and then spoke like she normally did to reveal the secrets, "Serena's going to become a sailor scout like us. She already agreed to it after you made your excuse yesterday," she said.

"Oh.." Kagome remembered them asking Serena and Serena trying to answer, but then Kagome had to leave. If she had stayed, would they have asked her too?

"Oh yah.. We were wondering.. Would you like to become - " Before Amy continued, Kagome cut her off.

"No. I can't. I'm sorry.. Maybe some other time." She sighed and then shone a smile at them.

Awhile later, Kagome had just realized that she was leaning against the outside part of the door, laughing with the others. "And, and did you hear about the wild goose chase the cops had the other day?!" Lita joked.

"Huh?" Kagome looked around, noticing it was dark outside and probably past 9:30. "Hey, uh, guys. What time is it?" She asked curiously.

Mina looked at her left wrist, at the golden-yellow 'communicator' watch and said, "It's about 9:59. We've been laughing our guts out the last few hours apparently."

"Oh god! Where's Inuyasha? What's Souta doing? Is mom home? Did she ever go and check back on Inuyasha after she left him to clean himself up?!" She thought to herself and noticed Serena wasn't there anymore.

"Hey, where'd Serena go you guys?"

"She went home about half and hour ago," Raye answered cautiously. "Why?"

"No reason. I was just wondering. That's all." Kagome lied. Now this was weird. First she doesn't remember a thing, second she finds herself outside, and third Serena's been gone?

"Hey you all, I think I better get going. It's getting late. I still have to see if my little brother is asleep and not tormenting the house." Kagome thought sympathetically towards Inuyasha. If she didn't remember anything, she probably wouldn't have heard him.

"That's alright. We gotta get going anyways. See you later, Kagome." Two said in unison as the other two just waved, smiling. They left. Finally, Kagome thought.

*******

Kagome walked inside the house to see Souta sleeping on the couch with the T.V on, and Inuyasha.. Not here?! "Where's Inuyasha?" She pondered.

She ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. Not there.

She ran into Souta's room. Not there either.

She knew he wasn't downstairs. What if he had left without her knowing?

"I'll kill him." She growled, murderously.

She walked into her room and was struck dumb when she found Inuyasha's body curled up into a ball lying on her bed, sleeping. He had his hands in his kimono sleeves, folded across his chest.

"He looks so innocent…." She muttered softly. Inuyasha's dog ear twitched back. He probably heard her. Oh well. Tonight, she was going to have to sleep on the floor.
