---------------reviewers--------------------

Banana Rum- yeah the Yoko part is for Yoko Kurama. Thanx so much 4 the review, I went nuts when I saw I ACTUALLY got not one, but 2!! Such a nice thing to see after an annoying school day, lol

Kai's Dragon-Yeah I know it was short (SO SORRY!!) but I had homework and house work and stuff. I'm really going to make an effort to lengthen them now. The first chapter I put up was so short because I just wanted to get it out there. Thanx for the review!!

-------------on with it then---------------

Kagome quietly hummed along to the song in her head as she started back towards Kaede's hut. She had gotten into a better mood once the schoolwork was out of sight. Suddenly, something dawned on her; 'I have a test tomorrow in Chemistry, don't I? Aw man! Now I have to study that TOO!' Her good mood slowly trickled away. 'Well, at least I get to go home now. It seems like I haven't seen my family in SO long!'

"Well, I'd better tell Miruko and Sango I'm going home for a few days. Inuyasha can figure that out on his own," she growled. "I can't believe him! He completely destroyed my CD Player just because he said it was "possessed!" Now I have to get a new one, and it cost me fifty bucks!" As she got to the hut, Miruko and Sango looked up to see Kagome grumbling something about "stupid hanyous." Shippo, who just woke up from his nap, launched himself gleefully at Kagome, squealing, "I missed you, Kagome-chan! Did you finish reading your funny scrolls?"

Laughing, Kagome replied with a "yes" and looked in Sango's direction. "Hey, do you know where Inuyasha got off to? I wanted to know if he's ready to apologize yet." She asked.

"No, but I saw what he did. What WAS that thing he broke?" Sango asked, curious.

Smiling, Kagome replied "it plays music, and the different disks you put in it change what music you hear."

"Oh, I sort of get it." She said, still looking a bit confused. "You know, now that I think of it," Sango started, "I'm pretty sure I saw Inuyasha going off into the northern part of the forest." A look of nervousness made itself known on her face. "Umm, he was heading towards Kikyo's soul collectors..."

Without any hesitation, Kagome grabbed her bow and arrow, and left the room in a heartbeat, leaving Miruko, Sango, and Shippo is a cloud of dust and confusion. "What's gotten into her?"

-----------------------Forest-----------------------

Kagome carefully stalked through the forest, looking and listening for any signs of movement. Each step that took her closer to Inuyasha gave her more and more the sense of foreboding. 'Why am I testing fate like this? I'm expecting no less then Inuyasha hooking up with Kikyo. Why am I rushing to get my heart broken? I know I love him, but he is in love with her, not me.' So deep in thought, she tripped and fell headlong into a shallow puddle. 'How much worse can it get? I'm about to get my heart broken, I have loads of schoolwork, and now I'm wet. Someone HAS to be laughing at me somewhere.'

All of a sudden, a twig snaps no less than ten feet away from her head. She immediately stiffens, and looks to see what it could be.

So yeah.. Do you even have to wonder what it is? NO! lol I'm just lazy, so that's it until next time, folks!! Umm... CLIFFHANGER I guess, lol (I always wanted to say that, tee hee)
