AN-Hey all of my wonderful readers! How's it going? I'm simply bored so I
felt like updating for all of my wonderful reviewers. I love you all!
*huggles reviewers. * ^_^
Review responses-
Nundu- Yea, I know that Kagome's sisters' names aren't very Japanese. *Closes eyes in shame * -_- That's due to the lack of planning that I had for this fic. If I make another one I hope to make it a little more organized and look up some good Japanese names. Let's just say that Kagome's mom was into foreign names when she named the younger ones. ^_~ I'm glad you like my fic otherwise though!
Whatever! -Happy you liked ^_^
IYEWOBluver- I was hoping my chapters were getting longer, just a little. ^_^ You should update your fic soon! Cant wait to see what's hapinin'!
JoJo10- Your reviews always make me feel so good! I love them! It made me want to update soon! ^_^
Don't own Inuyasha.....never have, never will. I forgot to put this in the last chapter. Oopse.

"Hello old friend," said Miroku, his grin getting wider. "I haven't seen you in a while"
"What are you doing here?" Kagome squealed. She hadn't seen Miroku in a year, and was extremely excited that her friend had finally paid a visit.
"Why, I'm coming to visit my favorite female friend!" Miroku said while spreading his arms out wide, inviting Kagome for a hug.
Kagome limped over and accepted his embrace. Although Miroku was known as a lecher, he never pulled anything on her.
Miroku, who had noticed that Kagome had a limp, stared at his friend with concern. "What happened to your foot?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just fell. No big deal," Kagome lied. She didn't want to lie to her friend, but she was pretty sure that it wouldn't be good to say 'I got attacked by a demon!'
Miroku stared into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. He had a feeling that she was lying, but decided not to press the issue. "So, may I come in?"
~*~*~*~
Miroku, Kagome, Kikyo, Souta, and Ms. Higurashi were sitting at a table. They were so deep in conversation that their food lay cold and forgotten.
"So other villages were attacked too?" asked Kikyo.
"Yes, the youkai killed many people in the other villages. Its amazing that their attack here didn't even kill one person," replied Miroku. "But this village has a lot of people with spiritual power, so that is to be expected."
"So, what is the Emperor going to do about this?" asked Ms. Higurashi.
Miroku reached into his robes and brought out a scroll, and held it out to the older woman.
She slowly opened the scroll and read it aloud.
"The constant attacks on humans by various demons has made me conclude that trying to live peacefully with demons is not an option anymore. The only way to stop these vicious attacks is to rid demons of my lands. In order to do this I require a male from each household, that is at least thirteen, to join my army. My generals will be coming to each village shortly to collect the men.
Sincerely, Emperor Shi"
~*~*~*~
Kagome sat on her bed staring at the wooden ceiling. Her thoughts were still caught up in what that scroll had said. Her family did not react very well to that news. Souta had just turned thirteen last month. He would be required to go to war.
'Poor Souta. He's even younger than I am, and has to go off and fight demons. Why couldn't the stupid emperor raise the age bar a little bit? Isn't thirteen a little young?' Kagome thought as she started to undo the wrap around her foot.
Her foot was healing nicely with the help of her mom's herbs and powers. The bone was healing at a fast rate, and there was barely any swelling anymore.
Kagome got some fresh cloth and started to rewrap her foot. She had to go out to train soon, so she tried to wrap it as quickly as possible without hurting herself.
When she had finished wrapping her foot, she walked out of her room, and started to go down the stairs slowly and carefully.
Miroku, who was at the bottom of the stairs, saw Kagome trying to get down "Let me help you! You look like your having a little bit of trouble."
Kagome smiled gratefully as he made his way over to her. She held a hand out to him. Instead of taking the hand, Miroku picked her up and started walking down the stairs with her in his arms.
"Gah! Miroku! I only needed a little help. I don't need you to carry me!" yelled Kagome.
Miroku flinched a bit as she screamed right into his ear. When he got to the bottom of the stairs he slowly let Kagome down.
"I was just helping out a lady in need." said Miroku as seriously as he could manage.
"Whatever," mumbled Kagome as she opened the door and went outside. "I'm late! Robin's going to kill me!"
~*~*~*~*~
The worst thing about having a broken foot was that her training now fully consisted of her trying to channel her inner power.
Ms. Higurashi had decided that since Kikyo was doing so well with it, that she could work with Kagome for a while and give Kagome and Kikyo's trainers a break.
"I don't want your help!" said Kagome stubbornly. She had just found out that she was supposed to train with Kikyo, and was not very happy about it.
"It's not that hard! I could summon fire a year ago!" Kikyo yelled back at her sister. She was trying to stay calm, but her patience with her sister was running extremely thin.
Kagome glared at her twin "Well I'm so sorry if I'm not perfect like you!"
Kikyo glared right back at Kagome. "You don't even try! You're always slacking off! I'm surprised that Robin even puts up with you."
Kagome's face reddened with anger. "You know what? I DON'T CARE! I'm leaving!" She said as she got up, picked up her bow and arrows, and started walking stiffly in the direction of the stream.
"Fine with me!" Kikyo screamed at her sister's back.
~*~*~*~
Kagome's anger had dissipated slightly on her walk to the creek. She undid the cloth around her foot, and put her feet into the refreshing and cool water. She played with the chain around her neck until she felt something nibbling at her feet. She giggled when she noticed small fish had started to bite at her toes. 'I'll bring some bread or something for them next time. They seem to be hungry.'
She had been sitting there for a while watching the cute fish softly bite her small toes, when she heard a noise from something in one of the trees. She quickly turned her head up and saw a red blob in one of the trees.
"Is that you Inuyasha?"
The 'red blob' jumped down from the tree. "It took you long enough to figure out I was here. I thought you were a miko!"
"I am!" Said Kagome indignantly. "I just wasn't paying any attention!"
"Sure," Replied Inuyasha, as he sat down next to her.
"..."
"Sooo," said Kagome, not quite sure what to say.
"What?" grunted Inuyasha.
Kagome asked the first thing that popped into her head. "What do you think of the war?"
"What war?"
"The human and demon war!" said Kagome unbelievingly.
"So it's actually a war now?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yea, the emperor is recruiting people for a large army to move demons out of these lands."
Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just stared at the slowly running stream.
"Whose side are you on?" asked Kagome curiously.
Inuyasha closed his honey golden eyes. "Don't have one"
"Huh?"
"I don't have a side. I'm not a demon. I'm not a human. I can't really have a side," said Inuyasha with a slightly pained look.
Kagome stared at the hanyou with sad eyes. "That's horrible. Being rejected by humans and demons."
"Keh" Inuyasha snorted. "It's fine. I don't care"
Kagome splashed her feet around a bit. 'Poor Inuyasha. He must have a horrible life.'
"Well, I've got to go home." said Kagome awkwardly. "Same time, Same place?"
"Whatever."
~*~*~*~*~
An- I know that I switch scenes a lot. It makes it a little easier to write that way. I hope that you all liked. ^_^
