Me: Okay, I'm alive...and having a bit of trouble with writer's block...it doesn't like me at all. But that's okay...right Zoe?

Zoe: Yeah, yeah, don't forget we have class in, like, 30 minutes.

Ryan: Uh-huh, don't forget...it's real important. I think.

Ami: Zoe, pass the sauce.

Zoe: Sauce?

Ami: Uh-huh, the soy sauce.

Ryan: Here.

Me: Sorry if we're making you hungry...I know they're making me hungry and I'm already eating. *Laughs* Remember...

"Inuyasha was acting...weird."

I peered around the corner. Rin and Sango were standing by the car.

"Yeah," Sango agreed, "I noticed that too. It seemed like he...was concerned."

"Kagome?"

I jumped. Turning around, I saw Miroku.

"Did you think Inuyasha was acting weird? I've only known him a little bit, but he seemed a little odd to me." I asked him. 'Please let him understand why I was sneaking around.'

"Uh-huh, I noticed that too. It really seemed like he...was concerned." He replied, and without knowing, coping Sango's words.

I blushed. "Well, um, they're waiting for me, so...I better go."

I spun around on my heel and headed toward my car.

"Kagome! Don't scare me like that!" Sango scolded.

"Come'n," I said, "I got to get home."

~Rin's House~

"Bye Rin!" We called together.

"Bye!" she replied, waving and skipping up the sidewalk.

"So," Sango said, "What'd you think of tonight?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean, how was tonight?" She asked again.

"Okay, I guess. Why?"

Now I was curious and she had me hooked.

"Oh, dear, I forgot. You don't...know."

She paused, then motioned for me to turn to the side of the road. I obliged, then turned the car off.

"Okay, this is hard to explain, but..." She hesitated.

"Go on." I urged. I had to admit, I was scared about what she would say, but really wanted to know.

"Don't be scared. Shit, I shouldn't even be telling you this. Inuyasha should. He is, after all, the leader. Well, no, scratch that-sesshomaru is. Actually, they're both the leaders, come to think of it." She took a breath and I waited silently.

"No, I-it isn't right. Inuyasha should tell you-or at least be there when I tell you. Cause you're one of my best friends and I can't lie to you." She said, then, "Just drive me home, okay? You'll know everything tomorrow."

I groaned, but did as she said.

~Sango's house~

"Bye." I said dully. I wasn't feeling all too best-friendy right now.

"Bye."

I pulled away from the curb and drove down the road, thoughts to my self.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

"Sango?"

"Inuyasha. Don't do that." I hissed.

"Do what?" he questioned.

"Forget it."

"I got your message. You want her in the gang?" When I nodded, he went on, "But she's so...little. And she'll need protecting all the time."

"She's a Miko. Not to mention she's taken karate and is an expert at swordsmanship. And archery."

I took a deep breath. He stared at me. "We can't let her in. one, is there anything she can't do? But anyway. One, she's a Miko. Two, the whole gang is practically demons! And three, she's too small."

He finished speaking and watched me. I grinned.

"Relax. We ARE going to tell her everything tomorrow and we WILL let her try to join. OKAY?" I shouted the last bit and smiled when I saw him flinch.

"oKAY Sango." He growled.

I flashed him a grin and went inside to get ready for bed.

~Kagome's house~

"Kagome?"

My mother greeted me at the door of the shrine house.

"Hullo."

I must have sounded let down, because my mother gathered me in her arms and held me.

"Mum? I'm really all right. Really. Just tired." I tried to convince her.

It didn't quite work. She replied, "Nonsense. How was work?"

She sat me down, positioned herself opposite of me, and waited for me to talk.

"Work was great, mum, really. It's just, now I'm really tired and all I want to do is go to bed. I do have school tomorrow, ya know." I told her, then got up.

As I walked upstairs, I heard her bustling around in the kitchen, getting ready for tomorrow's breakfast.

"Hullo bed." I said, when I got in my room. "I have a feeling tomorrow's gonna be hectic."

When I was changed into my pajama's, I crawled into bed and sighed. 'Thank Kami I have spring break next week.'

Me: So, I know it was a short chappi.

Ryan: Yeah, next one has to be longer.

Zoe: Uh-huh, definitely.

Me: OKAY, OKAY...I get the point.

Zoe: Now, we have class and need to go.

Me: *groans* okay...I guess so. Please review ya'll
