Inu Yasha was able to catch up with Kagome half way down the stairs. He picked her up and carried her the rest of the way. "Awww, you caught me." Kagome pouted. Inu Yasha chuckled a little. 'She looks so cute like that.' "So Kagome, what did you dream about?" Kagome turned to Inu Yasha to see a smile on his face. "Wuh-oh! I was talking in my sleep again, wasn't I?" Kagome asked while turning as red as a ripe red tomato. "How'd you know?" Inu Yasha asked. "From the million times you've pointed it out, I'm surprised you didn't just say 'Kagome, you need a mussel when you sleep' or 'Hey you said blah blah blah in your sleep and it was sooo funny'." Kagome said, mimicking Inu Yasha. "I wouldn't say that!" Inu Yasha spoke loudly. "Alright, alright, calm down. I…" Kagome couldn't finish what she was saying because still on the love seat, was Ryo.
'Uh-oh!' Inu Yasha thought as he placed Kagome down at the bottom of the steps. Here it comes. "Um, Ryo, how long are you staying here?" Kagome asked. 'Wow! She didn't freak out. She's obviously bottling it up as well as she can. Inu Yasha was worried a bit. "Uh, 'til Friday or Saturday." Ryo responded. Oh good, only a…hey! That's how long we're here. Dammit! This sucks! Wait, he said Friday or Saturday, right? We're staying 'til Sunday morning. If I can get him to leave on Friday, Kagome and I can have Saturday all to ourselves! Yes! Now, what's my plan?' "Well, you can spend those night on the pull-out couch." Kagome offered.
"Okay," Ryo agreed, "But where's he gonna sleep?" Ryo asked. "The name's Inu Yasha, and I'm sleepin' in…" But before he could continue, Kagome covered his mouth and said "his tent." Both guys stared at Kagome like she was a drill Sargent in the army. One not liking the sounds of it and one not trusting it. "Uh…in his…tent. Oh! Right! I understand now!" Ryo exclaimed. "You do?" Kagome asked, not sure where this was going. "Yeah, dog-boy told me all about why he's here." Inu Yasha just growled while Kagome stared at him in shock. "He did?"
"Yup," Ryo said, "All about the festival and you helping out. You always were kind-hearted, Kagome and I see it hasn't changed a bit" Kagome just stared at Inu Yasha in confusion. Inu Yasha just bent down to her ear and whispered; "And you think I don't listen." Kagome just looked back and forth between both of them. "Right, and can anyone refresh my memory of this?" Kagome requested. Inu Yasha fell over anime style while Ryo just stood there with a smile on his face. "Sure Kagome, I'll refresh your memory. I'm here because…" But Kagome stopped him. "No, I meant on the festival." Kagome explained.
"Oh right, well, according to silver boy over there, you volunteered to let some of the cast members of this weeks feudal festival stay at your house. And apparently he's your new best friend." Ryo said the last part between his teeth. Kagome looked at Inu Yasha in confusion and tilted her head. Inu Yasha stared at her and winked. Kagome then understood. "Oh yeah. Sorry, I just, uh, woke up from my nap." Kagome explained. Ryo then gave a dark glare to Inu Yasha "Nap, huh?" Inu Yasha saw this and returned it.
Then, Kagome remembered something. "Oh! I made a months supply of food for us. Hold on, I'll re-heat it." Kagome then raced to the kitchen, leaving the two guys behind. The guys just stared at each other like they wanted to kill each other. "So hentai, you spying on MY future wife when she's ASLEEP?" Ryo accused. 'Man, does this guy ever sound like the mangy wolf.' Inu Yasha thought. "No, I wasn't spying on her, I was…uh, going to the bath…room. And she ain't your…whatever." Inu Yasha fought back. "You don't know what a wife is?" Ryo asked, looking like he was about to explode with laughter.
"Uh…uh…in my…uh, home town, we don't have wifes." Inu Yasha lied. "Well, I don't care. Just know this ya festival freak hentai," Ryo turned serious, "Kagome WILL be MY WIFE! Even if I have to…" "Come 'n' get IT!" Kagome yelled from the kitchen. Ryo just smiled and walked into the kitchen. "We'll finish our little talk later." Inu Yasha heard Ryo say that and it made him wonder. 'I wonder what he was gonna say.' Inu Yasha thought as he headed into the kitchen, ready for anything, ready to protect Kagome from that creep.
