Chapter 7

Hello, ShadowMage here. I finally get to write chapter 7_ ShadowWarrior took forever to write chapter 6?she didn't even finish it; I did_ Anyway you can probably tell I'm stalling?so, back to the story.

***

It was another half an hour before Sessho-maru came to pick up Rin and Inu-Yasha up from the park. Then he dropped them of outside Matt's apartment building. When they got to his apartment they knocked on the door and, unlike at Sessho-maru's it was opened immediately because no one was listening to loud music.

They were greeted by Miroku, "Hello Inu-Yasha and the fair lady Rin, welcome to my place of residence, I hope you will find it enjoyable."

"Shut up and let them in Miroku, I'm tired of hearing your babble," said a voice from inside.

Grumbling, Miroku let them in. Koga, the one who had spoken was sitting on the couch watching t.v. (Notice Matt has not unplugged the electrical appliances. Gasp, will his apartment be destroyed because of his carelessness?) Rin sat down on the couch beside Koga and Inu-Yasha sat on the floor. Miroku joined them momentarily. They continued watching for another fifteen minutes or so until they heard a knock on the door, then it opened and Kagura popped her head in.

"Hello, is Matt there?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Would you mind bringing him out here? I have a question for him."

And so Matt was found and Kagura asked her question, "Uh, Matt could I invite a friend and her cousin over tonight?"

"Of course_" said the easy-going Matt, "The phone is by the couch, and while I'm here, if you're hungry you can cook something, there is a cookbook above the stove." And with that he went back to his room.

Kagura sighed in a relived way before walking in and motioning whoever was behind her to follow. First came Kanna, then Kirara then and Sango.

Sango let out a small scream when she saw Miroku, but Miroku merely looked concerned and asked, "Are you all right fair lady?" Sango sighed, he obviously didn't know it was her who had hit him with a large mallet.

Kagura gave Sango a strange look before introducing her guests, "This is Kirara and her cousin Sango. Kirara is in Kanna's grade and Sango is in ours."

There was a collective "hello" before Miroku said, "Anyone hungry, I'm going to go cook something."

Again there was a collective statement, but this time it was "Yeah, sure. I'm hungry." And so Miroku went into the kitchen and everyone else watched t.v.

It was only about ten minutes before they heard Miroku scream and rushed into the kitchen. A small fire had started because he had yanked the plug of the microwave out. It was quickly eating away at the walls and threatening to get to the floor if they didn't hurry?

To make a long story short, they were really slow like ShadowWarrior so the whole apartment burned down and everyone was fried to a crisp.

As you probably figured out, that is not what happened. Because people saving the day is boring, we'll just say Matt rushed into the kitchen, put the fire out in the nick of time and then everyone had to sit around and play kiddy board games because Matt was now as paranoid about his apartment as Sessho-maru and Naraku.

That was boring? so onto the next day at school!

***

It was third hour and Inu-Yasha was in gym. They were doing one on one tennis that day. Inu-Yasha had been partnered up with a black haired 9th grader who had serious self-confidence issues. Inu-Yasha was good at pretty much any sport and so he was whacking the tennis ball at his opponent harder then he should have been.

'Geez, what a wimp...he's dodging all my balls and his swing is pathetic, the ball hardly makes it back to my side of the net. I can't believe I'm wasting my time doing this, I should be listening to Disturbed or Linkin Park or something not playing tennis,' thought Inu-Yasha.

On the other side of the net, Kohaku had very different thoughts, 'My gosh, he doesn't have to hit so hard! I'm not good at tennis, he doesn't have to hit hard to win. I wish we were doing something, anything but tennis.'

***

While Inu-Yasha was pulverizing Kohaku in tennis Sessho-maru, Naraku, and Matt were in Japanese language class. They had decided to take Japanese when Sessho-maru took in Rin as a foreign exchange student. (What was Sessho-maru thinking when he took in another mouth to feed, cloth and basically spend money on when he has hardly any money in the first place? The world may never know...)

Hey, Shadowmage here. I'm currently listening to a CD of hits from the 60's. It's 12:17 as in 17 minutes past midnight on a Saturday night actually it's Sunday morning...but that doesn't really matter. The point is my brain is shot so don't be surprised if the next part of the chapter is really bad. But this is the first time in forever I have actually felt like working on chapter 7. Also this is the first day I've had my computer running since my move. Anyway, I've been swamped trying to catch up in school. I must have been insane at the time, but I signed up for all challenge classes. Wasn't the best choice I've ever made...too much work. Anyway back to the story.

After a half-hour lecture on the importance of studying for the upcoming exam, they were released. They all went straight to the coffee shop.

"No one has work or classes tonight, right? The kids can just stay at their own apartments right?"

Sessho-maru nodded, "Yes Matt, that's right. You sound desperate to keep juveniles out of your apartment, why?'

"Well, last night I told the kids they could cook something if they wanted," Naraku and Sessho-maru groaned as soon as they heard that, "Miroku yanked out the plug of the microwave so he could plug in his boombox and ended up setting the kitchen on fire. I put out the fire before it did too much damage."

"That is an excellent example of why you should always unplug everything and not let the kids use anything electrical when it is your turn to watch them." put in Naraku.

Sessho-maru nodded in agreement. After finishing their coffee they all went to the gym. It was a strange gym, its name was, 'The Gym of Feudal Japan.' Instead of weights and treadmills and stuff they had swordplay, archery, fighting with staffs, and many other weapons. Sessho-maru practiced with swords and whips, Matt with staffs and Naraku with...uh...something. (Seriously though he doesn't really use weapons except creating Kagura and Kanna and people to fight for him...)

***

While Sessho-maru and co. worked out in strange ways at the strange gym, Shippo was in 5th hour lunch with Kikyo and Kagura. Kikyo and Kagura were immersed in conversation about their math homework. Shippo, feeling left out got in the lunch line.

"Yeah, they assign so much work too."

"True. The amount of homework is rather excessive."

"And I don't get today's lesson so it will take forever to finish."

"Why don't you come to my house and we can do the homework together? Also you can meet my little sister Kaede."

"Sure. How about I come by at...3:30?"

"Sounds good, see you then."

By the time Shippo had come back they were to bus eating to talk to him.

ShadowMage: Okay it is now 1 am and my brain is shot. If I'm not careful I'll fall asleep at the computer and that would not be comfortable but tomorrow, or as it is, today I have to do homework so I'm going to force out the end of the chapter. And it is going to be terrible but at least you can't say you weren't warned.

Kagura went to Kikyo's. They did their math homework. Kagura met Kaede. Everyone is finally getting to know each other...yea!

ShadowMage: You readers should feel very special. That above was what I wrote at 1 in the morning. But I am very kind and decided to take time of my busy schedule to revise it for you.

Kagura went to Kikyo's that night. They went up to Kikyo's room to talk before they started on homework. Almost two hours later they came downstairs to the kitchen table to do homework. By the time they came down, Kikyo's sister was making spaghetti for dinner.

"Hey, Kaede, get over here." Kikyo called to her sister.

Kaede walked over and said "hello" in a very shy voice.

Kikyo sighed, "Kagura, this is my younger sister Kaede. She is a freshman." "Kaede, this is Kagura. She is in my grade. She came over to do homework with me. She has a sister who is a sophomore."

Kaede and Kagura said hello to each other before Kaede hurried back to the pot of spaghetti on the stove.

"She's really shy, isn't she?" Kagura whispered to Kikyo.

"Sometimes," Kikyo whispered back.

They then ate spaghetti and finished their homework. Kagura left for home and Kikyo and Kaede went to bed.

How will the next day, and for that matter night go? What are Matt, Jaken, and Naraku studying to become? And how will Kanna's detention go in chapter 9?

To Whom It May Concern:

I am really sorry that it took so long to post chapter seven. But I recently moved and when we finally got the computer connected I had to catch up in school and just never got around to chapter seven. In fact, right now my computer doesn't even have Microsoft Word so I couldn't have typed chapter seven if I had the time. I had to finish it on my dad's laptop.
