DPK13: I really am becoming obsessed. Comp is spazing and won't let me post Ch5....so I have gone on to working on Chapter 6. I am doing this to improve my writing and my own pleasure. As I said before I want to be an author. So review so maybe I can improve and get one of my original stories published!

No reviewers....yet. Probably cause I haven't posted chapter 5....yet.

Chapter 6: Prayer beads

"You do that Inuyasha," Kagome replied and flounced from the room. "I'll see you tomorrow okay?" With that she closed the door and went to her rooms. 'He's being more difficult then I thought...' she thought.

Inuyasha glared at the door. "I said I'd think about it. Not yes," he muttered to himself like a sullen child denied a candy.

The next day, Kagome wide-eyed with innocence came bouncing up to Inuyasha's door at five in the morning. Yes, five in the morning. She knocked, and getting no response, let herself in. She walked into the bedroom and saw Inuyasha passed on the bed. "GOOD MORNING!" she said loudly, cheerful.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Inuyasha shrieked and fell out of bed. Kagome looked over the bed at him lying on the floor, puzzled. "What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha said groggily.

"It's time to get up, Inuyasha!" Kagome said chirpily. "I had the cook prepare us a picnic for later! Get up!" Inuyasha just stared at her as if she were insane.

"What. Time. Is. It?" Inuyasha asked haltingly. Kagome frowned.

"Five in the morning..." she admitted. Inuyasha glared at her.

"I rest my case. Good night." He laid back down, not caring he was on the floor. His body, and mind, demanded sleep. That was when a bucket of water was dumped on him. "ARRRGGGHHHHH!" he leapt up.

"Ah good, your awake! Get dressed and we can leave!" Kagome said calmly and put a bucket down. Inuyasha gave her his patented death glare and went to his bathroom to change.

"Females..." Inuyasha muttered as he got dressed, "such busybodies. Never minding their own damn business." Then he stomped out. Kagome gave him a sweet smile.

"So you ready to go?" she asked innocently.

"Where?" Inuyasha asked, which he felt was a valid question.

"Out hiking, silly!" Kagome said happily, "Your brother, Shessoumaru, said that you loved hiking and would enjoy taking me out hiking." She smiled at him, "Friends should enjoy the same activities don't you think?" Inuyasha wasn't listening.

'Note to self:' He thought, 'Kill Shessoumaru as soon as possible, in a very painful way.'

"Inuyasha? Don't you agree with me?" Kagome asked, annoyed that he wasn't listening to her. There was a murderous blank expression on his face.

"Hmmmm? Uh...yeah. Course I do." He said, not realizing what he was agreeing to.

"Good then let's go!" Kagome said, cheerfully. Inuyasha inwardly groaned and set off after her as she hopped out the door.

After a couple hour of hiking in the mountainous forest around the Youkai Castle, Kagome was starting to tire. It was now nine in the morning. Inuyasha was making a furious pace and needless to say, Kagome really couldn't keep up.

"Inuyasha, could we please rest?" Kagome begged for the fifteenth time. "I'm really tired." She looked at him pleadingly.

"Fine," Inuyasha said grudgingly reluctant. Kagome sat down right where she was with a sigh of relief. Inuyasha couldn't suppress a smirk.

"Inuyasha," Kagome asked trying to be nice, even though she'd seen his nasty smirk. "Aren't you the least bit tired?"

"Not at all!" Inuyasha replied with a grin, "I am as fresh as a daisy in springtime!" To illustrate this point he ran around the meadow Kagome had collapsed in. Kagome rolled her eyes and just watched him show off.

Suddenly an old woman walked from under the trees into the meadow. Since she was old, they would have thought to have heard her approach. But, they were both to busy bickering to even notice her entrance. Yet, even if they had tried to hear her, they would not have.

"Princess, young lady!" The old woman croaked. Kagome turned to her and ran over immediately. The old woman looked so feeble and frail that Kagome was sure she'd fall over if she didn't have help.

"Call me Kagome please," Kagome answered, the woman wore and eye patch over one eye, had she been in a terrible accident?! "Are you injured? What is your name?" Kagome asked frantically. The old woman chuckled.

"I am no more injured than you are," she replied, "My name is Kaede." At that moment Inuyasha ran up and yanked Kagome away from the old woman.

"Keep away from her! She could be trying to kill you!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome, "Do you always go rushing into things without thinking them through!" That stung a little. Kagome yanked herself from his grasp and gave him her own death glare.

"Inuyasha, already protecting your future mate, I see." Kaede said, Inuyasha turned a pinkish tinge. Kaede turned to Kagome, "As soon as I heard you were to wed Inuyasha, I knew you'd need this." She held out her hand and in it were some beads. Kagome looked closer, but Inuyasha just sniffed.

"Ha! What can those do?!" Inuyasha said with a laugh. Well, guess that old saying is right, ignorance is bliss. He'd know soon enough.

"This." With that Kaede held out her hand the beads went zooming and then formed around Inuyasha's neck. "Kagome! UTTER A ONE WORD COMMAND!"

"Uh... SIT!" Kagome said, hey she'd been pressed for time. She could probably have thought up something better but... she was jolted from her thoughts when Inuyasha hit the ground with a thump.

"Hey wench what was that for!?" Inuyasha yelled as he jumped up. His manliness had been insulted, according to him. Kaede nodded with a slight smile.

"Now you have a power over Inuyasha. It helps so that your strengths are evened out. Otherwise he'd rule you." With that the old woman faded off.

"WAIT! HOW DO I GET THIS OFF!?" Inuyasha yanked at the beads around his neck frantically.

"This is soooo COOL!" Kagome squealed, "Now whenever I say sit Inuyasha hits the..." She looked behind her. There was Inuyasha sprawled on the ground. "Oops...sorry Inuyasha..." Inuyasha hopped up but not as quickly as before.

"Wench quit that!"

"MY NAME IS KAGOME! SAY IT WITH ME! KA-GO-ME!"

"Wench!"

"SIT!"

"THUMP!"

"Inuyasha I'm going back!" Kagome stomped off toward the Youkai Castle, or where she thought the Youkai Castle was.

"Feh like I care Wench!"

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"

Inuyasha was now sitting in a crater six feet deep.
