Authors note: Hey its melody and im coming along with another chapter. Truly sorry that I haven't updated in a long time. It's just that I was in deep trouble of failing this year in school and I needed to focus on that. But now its summer time and I am focusing 110% on my stories!!!

Kag. POV

Kagome woke the next morning, peacefully. She had a little ball of fur in her arms, known as shippou. She had learned a lot about Shippou. He was an orphan, whose parents were killed by the infamous Thunder Brothers. In just a few short hours she learned to love this innocent child. Inuyasha on the other hand, wasn't so kind to the kitsune. He would pound on Shippou for the simplest of questions.

She slipped out from under the covers, careful not to disturb the little one, and looked into the sleek cherry oak wardrobe. I decided to put one on that I bought from the market. It was a pastel green kimono embroidered with pink sakura petals. She put her hair in two buns on the side of her head, and tied matching ribbons into them.

"Wow kagome, you look pretty." A sleepy shippou said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Thank you shippou, would you like to wear one of the kimonos I bought you today?" I asked. "Yeah!" he said excitedly. I let him choose one of the four. He ended up choosing the teal green one with spinning tops embroidered on it.

He looked positively cute! I looked in the drawer for some socks, but also found my necklace. I smirked. It was a subduing necklace I had brought two just incase Inuyasha was too much to handle. One was a purple color, the other was frosted glass. I slipped the purple one into my pocket...just in case....

We walked down to breakfast, not caring about being late. Then we ran into Inuyasha. "Hey what are you doing not at breakfast?" He asked. I raised an eyebrow. "Why aren't You at breakfast?" I said. "Coming to find you!" He said defensively. "Well then fine!" I argued. "Wait, he can't eat with us!" Inuyasha said pointing at shippou. "Of couse hes eating with us!" she said angerly. "Then YOU'RE not eating with us!" Inuyasha yelled. "Ok fine! Then im not eating with you!" I yelled pushing him.

Inuyasha POV

She would rather eat with that dirty brat then me?!? What is her problem!?! That's it. She Will eat with me whether she likes to or not! "Fine the stupid brat can eat with us but you have to eat this time!" he said angerly. "Fine." She said. "That's right! Yeah! You better say fine!" I said importantly. "Come on shippou." She said patting her shoulder. The runt jumped on. Stupid fox. We entered the dinning room. To there surprise, Inutiasho was not there.

"Where is father?" I questioned to Sesshoumaru. "Where he is at all times in not your business. I do not question where you are with the wench, so do not question me." He said coldly. I glared at Sesshoumaru. He always thought he was better. He was wrong. I looked over at kagome who was sharing quite a large stack of pancakes with Shippou. She must have been hungry. I grinned as she looked at me. "Why the cocky grin?" she said arching one of her delicate eyebrows.

Kagome POV

I had just ordered a large stack of pancakes for shippou and me when I saw Inuyasha put up a grin. "Why the cocky grin?" I said arching an eyebrow. "No reason." He said. "So Sesshoumaru. You are full demon and Inuyasha is half demon?" I asked. "Yes. Inuyasha always was the weaker one." He said coldly.

"I see. Is that true Inuyasha?" I said grinning. "What the hell do you mean, is it true? Of course not!" he said angerly. "Ok Inuyasha, what ever you say." It felt good to piss him off, but I figured I better apologize. "Im sorry Inuyasha, I was just playin'." I said giggling.

"Kagome can we go play later?" Shippou said. "Of course we can, Shippou." I said politely. "Its only a few weeks till Christmas, and it should be snowing soon." I said gazing out the window. "It is snowing." Inuyasha said. "Oh! Well then we can play in the snow!" I said happily. "And make snow kitsunes! And snow angels!" Shippou said so excitedly, he bounced up and knocked to pancakes over. "Oopsies." He said. "Its ok shippou, Im glad it didn't spill on either of us." I said.

It was immediately cleaned up. I walked up to my room with shippou, and Inuyasha following. I let him pull on some little fleece boots, and I did so too. "Are you coming Inuyasha?" I said. "Sure." He sighed. We walked downstairs, threw a corridor I had never been down before. It was full of black doors, with red numbers on them, numbered one- twenty.

I became mesmerized by the hallway and stopped; about to pull open a door, door 12 it read. I had my hand on the door knob. "Kagome don't!" Inuyasha yelled. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Kagome listen to me. Never ever, go into any of these doors. Ok? It's very important. Never go into these." He said seriously. "But what is in there?" Shippou asked. "I can't say. But, as long as you don't go in, you shouldn't find out." Inuyasha said. "Let's go now." He said. I took one last look at the door.

What is it that could be behind one of these? I looked at the number again, before running ahead to catch up with them.

Regular POV

"Die!" Yelled Inuyasha pelting a snowball at kagome. Kagome dodged it. "You will never win!" Kagome yelled, throwing one at Inuyasha. "Mwuhahahahhaha!" she put on a fake sinister laugh. "Hey kagome!!!! Look what I made!!!" Shippou called. It was a snowman, well a snow kitsune. "Its cute shippou!" she yelled back smiling.

Shippou made a few jumps up to kagome's shoulder and started whispering in her ear. Inuyasha looked at them suspiciously before climbing up a tree and watching. Shippou walked off somewhere. Inuyasha watched kagome sit on a snow less stump. "I wish...Souta was here." She whispered. She wanted to see her brother eh? Well maybe she would... suddenly out of no where Inuyasha was pushed out from his tree and into the snow.

"Arghhhh!! Booooo!!!" yelled a big pink bubble with eyes and a mouth. "What the hell!?!" Inuyasha yelled. He looked up at the bubble. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he yelled. Shippou changed back. "hahahahahahaha! Inuyasha I scared you!!" Shippou said with glee. Kagome was in a laughing fit. "Why you stupid little runt!" Inuyasha yelled running after a still laughing shippou, a few good poundings had shippou swirly eyed. Inuyasha snuck up to a giggling kagome. With his god like speeds, he swept her up and ran the lake. Holding her upside down, by her ankle, over the freezing lake, he started to laugh.

She however, didn't think it was funny. "Inuyasha! Let me go!" she said angerly. "Not this time!!! You laughed at me!" he said lividly. "Inuyasha if it were me, you would have laughed at me too!!!" She said. She did have a point...oh well. Before he could drop her she pulled something out of her pocket and shoved it around his neck. "SIT!!!" she screamed.

He was instantly pulled down with a heavy force, and fumbled into the lake. Of course, he still had a hold of kagome, so she took the fall with him. They broke the surface, and swam to shore. "What the fuck is this?!?!" he said trying to pull it off. "It's a subduing spell.

On my command, you get sent flying towards the ground, when you get a little out of hand." She said grinning. "Take it off!" he commanded. "Actually....I think it looks cute! And there is no way im taking if off, the second I did you would kill me!" she said innocently. "That can still be arranged." He said pulling out his claws and grinning. "Sit." She said. He fell again. "Well I better get shippou, its freezing!!" she said happily.

Inuyasha POV Oh no. that little bitch didn't. This stupid necklace. She was going to get it. That one word...'sit' seemed to command him. There had to be a way to get it off. He walked up to the castle alone.

How dare her... He didn't want his father or Sesshoumaru to find out that he had been dumb founded by a mere human. Wait, wrong. She was a miko. But still a human. He hid the necklace under his Gi. Maybe if he convinced her that he had gotten it off, she wouldn't say it anymore...but of course, she could always say it again to find out....

With Kagome, Her POV

I dried shippou and myself off, and sat next to a roaring fire. Shippou sat in my lap. I felt sorta bad...for Inuyasha, I thought I was getting back at him, but I wasn't. I was hurting him. I don't know why I felt it, but I decided to push that information away. Shippou had fallen asleep and I decided to put him in bed.

Souta used to tuck me in bed... how I missed him. I walked out and figured I better get some dinner for shippou and I. I walked down to the kitchen. "You need anything sweetie?" the kitchen maid asked. "Um, can I have some oden, ramen and pepper chopped chicken on a tray please?" I asked politely. "You're not dinning with the Tiasho's?" she asked. "I don't think I should...Inuyasha is really mad at me." I said.

"Ok sweetie. I'll send it up there with some tea in a little while." She said smiling. "Thanks." I said. I walked back up to my room. And I bumped into Sesshoumaru. "Oh, Im sorry." I said. "You should come down to eat." He said masking his face. "I don't think I should...Inuyasha is really pissed at me." I said. "What could you have down to the half breed?" he said.

"I put a subduing spell on him. So whenever I say sit-"I was cut off by a very loud thump and a string of curses. "Inuyasha?" I said. "What wench?" he said angerly. "Well that's what happens." I said to Sesshoumaru. "Very clever miko." He said stalking off to dinner. Did the cold Sesshoumaru, just complement me?!? Heh. I guess he did.

"You are to come down to dinner." Inuyasha said grabbing my wrist. "I can't, shippou is sleeping and I asked to kitchen maid to send food up there for us." I said. "Well you can leave shippou there." He said. "I don't want to." I said. "Fine, eat in your room for all I care!" he said. "That's what I was going to do baka!" I said making him sound stupid.

I ate dinner in my bedroom with shippou. We ate it quickly, and fell asleep soon after that. "Good night shippou." I said closing my eyes. "Good night...mommy..." he said sleepily. Aww!!! Shippou just called me mommy! Poor fella! I thought sympathetically before falling asleep.
