^_^ AN- Hola amigos! I'm having a little writer's block right now. *Hits
head repeatedly * I really don't know where I'm going with this story. If I
write another fanfic, I am definitely going to have an outline for the
story, not just rush into it. ^_~
I am horrible with technology! I got this cute new mouse with floating ladybugs in it, so I wanted to try it out. Well somehow I got something stuck somewhere in the monitor and we had to get that something out. It was horrible! It took a while before I could get back on the computer and write for all you wonderful people! ^_^ But I'm back now and ready to rock and roll! Well, I hope this chapter turns out okay. I guess that I'll just go where my fingers lead me...
Thank you all of my wonderful reviewers! You inspire me so much! You encouraged me to make this chapter!
Review responses-

~*~*~*~
After leaving the stream Kagome started making her way home. The sun was slowly setting. It's rays turning the sky brilliant shades of orange and red.
'If Inuyasha has no sides on the war, then won't both sides be against him?' Kagome pondered. 'I can't let that happen to him, but how can I stop it? Maybe I can convince my village to let him stay and help?'
Before she knew it, she was at her front door. She opened it and walked inside. Her brown orbs adjusted to the darkness of the house. There was some light coming out of the kitchen, so she decided to go and see who was in there.
Her mom was sitting at the kitchen table slowly sipping her tea with a small frown on her lips.
"Hello mama," said Kagome as she walked in and sat across from her mother.
"Kagome....," her mom said in a low dangerous voice.
Kagome stared at her mother with confusion. 'What did I do? Why does she sound so mad?'
"Why did you walk out on training with your sister? She was only trying to help you!" snapped Ms. Higurashi. She watched as her daughter's eyes widened with understanding. "You have got to train! What if demons attack our village and you aren't able to get to safety?"
"I don't want to train with her! Why can't I just keep training with Robin?" asked Kagome as she crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly.
"You will not be training with Robin anymore."
"WHAT?!" screamed Kagome. Her chocolate eyes narrowed at her mother.
"You have made little progress over the last few months, so until I find you a more suitable trainer you will be training with Kikyo." said Ms. Higurashi calmly.
"BUT-"
"There will be no 'buts' about it! You are going to train with Kikyo and that's final!"
Kagome glared at her mother. Her face was red from the boiling anger within her. Sheyearned to retort. To tell her mother that she would do worse training with Kikyo than Robin, but she didn't want to anger her mom any more than she was now. So instead she settled for leaving the Kitchen, and slamming the door on the way out.
~*~*~*~
Kagome rolled over in her bed, trying to find a more comfortable position. She had been trying to fall asleep for the last two hours. She finally gave up, pushed the silky sheets off of her, and got out of her large bed. 'I've got too much on my mind. I think I need some tea. Maybe that will help me sleep'
She padded down the stairs as quietly as she could. She still had her foot wrapped, but it didn't hurt anymore. It was just to be safe so she didn't get hurt again.
When she got to the kitchen she started to warm up some water over the small fire that was still barely going.
While the fire was warming up she got out a small box of tea mix. It was one of the best teas you could buy. Kagome opened the box, and slowly put her nose near it to take in the wonderful fragrance.
Kagome stood there for a while, just taking in the sweet fragrance of the tealeaves.
"What are you doing?"
She jumped and nearly dropped the box. She looked over and saw her brother standing in the doorway.
"N-nothing. You kind of scared me there," she said as she went to check if the water was hot enough. "What are you doing awake?"
"I couldn't sleep," replied Souta. His face was serious instead of the usually carefree look.
"Do you want some tea?" Kagome asked in a motherly way. She was sure that Souta was nervous about going to war. Who wouldn't be?
"Yea, some tea would be good. Thanks."
"Your welcome," said Kagome. She got two large cups and started to pour the hot water into them.
When she had finished making the tea, Kagome passed a steaming cup to her brother. "Watch out. It's hot."
Souta gave his sister a small smile before taking a large gulp of the tea. Then he slowly sat the cup down and looked Kagome in the eyes. "The general is coming in two days to collect the men who are going to war"
Kagome's eyes widened in shock. 'Two days! They only sent the letter yesterday! Poor Souta! He has to go off to war at such a young age. And I was complaining about training with Kikyo...'
She snapped out of her thoughts and saw her brother looking expectantly at her. His eyes were pleading for comfort and protection. Kagome scooted her chair near his, sat down, and put an arm around him in a half-hug.
"It'll be all right. Don't worry."
~*~*~*~
Ms. Higurashi looked uncertainly across the table at Kagome. Kagome's lips were in a permanent frown, and she was barely eating her breakfast. 'Is she still mad at me for making her train with Kikyo?'
"Look, honey, can you just try to train with Kikyo? You two really need to bond, and you could learn from each other."
"Fine" said Kagome in a monotone voice.
Ms. Higurashi was surprised at how easy it was to get her daughter to agree. "Are you all right dear?" she asked in concern.
Kagome looked at her mother with tired eyes. "Yes, I'm fine, I just realized that it really doesn't matter that much."
"Okay dear. Well, finish up your breakfast. You need to take the young ones out of the house. You could take Miroku with you too if you want some help. The maid is coming today. I don't want to have to pay extra because she had to take more time so she can work around them."
Kagome nodded and went upstairs to retrieve her little sisters and Miroku. "This should be fun."
~*~*~*~
AN- Oohhh! A perverted Miroku mixed with all of Kagome's younger sisters! How will Kagome survive? ^_^ Sorry if this chapter was a little short. It seemed longer though because I spaced things out more this time. I know I didn't have Inuyasha in this chapter * dodges keyboards and rotten fruit * Sorry! There will be plenty if Inu to come! Don't worry! I just have to build their relationship up a little more. Oh, and just telling you, Miroku is going to be staying at Kagome's place for a while, so don't worry. Him and Sango will finally meet in the next chapter! Yay!
