"Souta, don't talk with your mouthful!" Kagome said as she passed Miroku the tray of butter for his pancakes. Souta rolled his eyes and gave a nod to Kohaku, who gave a nod to Ame, who nodded to Rin, who giggled and nodded to Souta. Simultaneously, they all turned to Kagome and opened their mouths, sticking out their tongues and exposing half-chewed food.

"Kohaku! That's rude!" Sango chastised as she reached over to smack him. The younger brother laughed and turned to her, showing the mashed food in all its glory.

"Dwon't lwike it?" he asked, his voice altered by his tongue hanging out his mouth. "Thwen ewat mwe." (Don't like it then eat me)

Sango scowled and reached for his neck, but he pulled back. Inuyasha laughed. "I like that kid," he said as he took a bite into his sausage and chewed it for a few seconds before joining the kids in the little game.

"Oh god, he's impressionable," Kagome said with a roll of her eyes as she reached over and smacked Souta's forehead. The boy's head jerked back and hit the chair, making half the food fly out his mouth as he swallowed the rest.

"Hey-"

"Shut up and eat your damn breakfast."

"But everyone else is doing it!"

Sango slapped Kohaku's cheek and he swallowed, suddenly choking as an uneaten piece of bacon forced its way down his throat.

"Not everyone," Sango remarked with a satisfied grin.

"Rin, stop it," Hirai said, "Otherwise, I'll tell daddy you've misbehaved." The younger sibling gave a scowl before closing her mouth and swallowing her food and, crossing her arms, her cheeks puffed out in an angry gesture.

Everyone turned to Ame and Miroku.

"What?" Miroku said as he looked at them. Sango cleared her throat and glanced at Ame, then back at him. With a sigh, Miroku dropped his fork and turned to Ame.

"Stop," he said simply.

"Nwo," she replied.

Miroku shrugged his shoulders and turned back to his food. "Can't said I didn't try."

"Miroku!"

"WHAT!?" he asked Sango. "She doesn't want to stop it, so why bother her-" he stopped talking as Sango gave him the "No kissing me" look and rolled her eyes, turning away from him. Miroku whipped his head back to Ame.

"Put that tongue back in your mouth or I swear to god, I will cut off all your dolls heads and hang their bodies on strings of floss around your room, making the whole thing look like a scene from the Blair Witch movie."

Ame's eyes widened and she withdrew her tongue quickly, scared for all her Barbie and Ken family sets she had collected over the years.

"Thank you," Sango said and began eating her breakfast again.

Kagome stared at Inuyasha who stared back, winking and wiggling his tongue with half-chewed sausage.

"Inuyasha, you look like a fool doing that by yourself."

"I dwon't cware."

"Eat it or I'll knee your nuts again."

Miroku and Hirai choked on their eggs as they tried to hold in sudden bursts of laughter. Sango's eyes popped out and the children looked down, hiding smiles because Kagome had simply said the word "nuts".

Inuyasha swallowed the sausage and looked away, adjusting the melting ice pack on his crotch.

"Good," Kagome said with a kind smile, "Now let's all finish our breakfast in peace."

"I'm done!" Souta sounded.

"Me too!"

"Me three!"

"Me..." Rin hesitated and looked at Hirai. "What comes after three again?" she whispered.

"Four," she replied and began eating her eggs again.

"Me four!" Rin yelled and they all got up and raced down the hall to the television to watch more cartoons.

The teenagers shrugged and continued eating until they all felt satisfied.

"Why the hell do I get stuck with all the dishes?" Miroku mumbled as he rinsed off a plate and placed it on the counter. "I'm always the servant around the house. It's not fair!"

"Stop you're bitchin' and hand me the next plate," Inuyasha said as he dried the last one and placed it on the rack. He quickly pulled the cigarette out his mouth and blew out smoke, tapping the cig on the counter and shaking the ashes off. He placed it back in his mouth as Miroku handed him the next dish.

"Fine," Miroku said with a sigh. His face suddenly brightened up as he grabbed a glass. "So...what happened to you're shaft? You and Kagome have a little too much hanky panky? Did ya spank the monkey too hard?"

"Man, what the FUCK are you talking about?"

"How'd you break your dick?"

"Oh..." Inuyasha said as he blew smoke out once more. "I didn't."

Miroku raised an eyebrow. "You...what?"

"I'm faking it," Inuyasha said simply. He dried off his hands and went to the far end of the kitchen. Making sure Miroku was watching, he actually did half a split and began kicking his legs up energetically. Finished, he came back to the sink and picked up the towel.

"Pass me that dish," he said as if nothing had happened. Miroku's mouth dropped open.

"Let me get this straight... Did you or did you not get slammed in the crackers?"

"The what?"

"The nuts."

"Oh! ...Yeah, I did."

"Ok... Did that hurt?"

"No...You see Kagome has very soft knees and after she hit me, I acted as if it hurt real badly."

"Why?"

Inuyasha threw his smoke in the trash and dried another dish. "So I could stay...I needed a place to crash, but little-miss-prissy wasn't going to let me in one way or another. So, when she kicked me, I thought it was my chance."

"Oh," Miroku said as he handed him the third to last dish. He picked up another one and wet the sponge before soaping it up. "I don't get it," he finally admitted after a few minutes of silence.

Inuyasha sighed. "If Kagome thinks I'm..."broken" then she'll think I wont try anything with her, making her assume she has control. That's why she's so bouncy about the whole thing, really. So, until my two weeks are up, I'm to play like I'm wounded."

"Oh," Miroku said. He rinsed off the dish and gave it to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha stared at him, rolling his eyes after a few moments and taking the dish from him to dry.

"You still don't get it do you?"

"No, not really."

-___________-;

It wasn't until around three in the afternoon, when Inuyasha had retired to a guestroom Kagome set up for him, that his cellular began to ring. Inuyasha pulled it from his pocket and pressed the talk button, placing the tiny thing to his ear and greeting his brother in a warm and loving manner.

"Fuck you, Sesshomaru."

"Hello to you too," he said from the other line. "Where are you?"

"In hell."

"Not yet, but I'll gladly let you answer again," Sesshomaru replied as he backed out of his driveway and turned onto the street, stepping on the gas.

Inuyasha yawned in the phone and scratched his stomach. He needed a shower and a drink.

"I'm at Higurashi's house."

"Still?"

"His daughter goes to school with me, you ass. She's holding me up for a few... days," he half told the truth, half lied. "Besides, the house is huge, so I'll have more time to look for the thingy that Naraku wants."

"And tell me, my dear brother," Sesshomaru said as he turned down a corner and passed a red light, heading onto the highway, "Just what is that "thingy" you are looking for."

"Err..." Inuyasha had plum forgot what he was supposed to be doing since breakfast. "A...disk?"

"A file, you idiot." Sesshomaru said as he cut off another driver and honked at a red car in front of him. Rolling his eyes, he turned into the carpooling lane, which was practically empty, and sped up.

"Right. Me-whore-E-Koch or something like that," Inuyasha said and sat up.

"Midoriko."

"That's the one!"

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. "Don't screw this up. I'll be stopping by tonight, so you'd better provide me with good news," he heard a siren behind him and checking the rearview mirror, he noticed the police car behind him. Rolling his eyes, he slowed down to a stop.

"Hold on," he said and stuck he his head out of the car. A police officer stepped out and walked up to him.

"What the fuck do you want, deputy?" Sesshomaru asked as the officer pulled a file out of his back pocket.

"Sesshomaru-Sama, sir, this file needs to be taken directly to Naraku- Sama," he reported and handed over the file. Sesshomaru snatched it.

"Is that all?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good. Get back in you're car and go arrest some innocent people then." And he sped off once again, placing the file in the passenger seat. He put the phone back to his ear.

"How come I can't do that!?" Inuyasha shouted.

"Forget it. Get Midoriko and have it by the end of the week. Bye."

Inuyasha pulled the phone away from his ear and rolled his eyes, placing it on the bed. Scratching his head, he pulled off his shirt and stretched. He'd look for the file after a nice and long shower.

After that, he had a few "errands" to run that wouldn't be exactly on the side of the law.

"Church," he mumbled as he walked through the hallways, searching for the bathroom. "I've got to go to church today..."

Oh yeah... He was a real lawbreaker.

^____________________^

Ok that's all for now. The church thing isn't exactly what it seems so don't jump to conclusions about that.

Inuyasha in the shower...hmmm...Maybe someone will walk in on him eh? Maybe it will be a girl who will fall in love with him *wink wink nudge nudge*
