Last Chapter:

After Inuyasha had fallen asleep, his doorknob began to rattle. It stopped after about 30 seconds and all was silent for a little while. Then suddenly, the doorknob began clicking and soon the door swung open. Two dark figures entered and stood to either side of Inuyasha's bed. One of the figures cautiously opened one of Inuyasha's eyes and the other inserted a small item in it. Repeating the procedure with the other eye, they silently chuckled and quickly left the room, making sure to lock it as they closed the door behind their dirty deed.

Stealing Four Souls and a Few Hearts

Chapter 14: ­­­­­­­Betting Buddies

The sun slowly crept over the horizon, signaling the beginning of a new day. The beautiful rays that stretched over the peaceful forest seemed to make the leaves glow gold. The birds awoke and sang their beautiful songs as various creatures scampered about, looking for their breakfast. A peaceful river flowed through the forest which was home to several cabins and campers who were peacefully dozing in the comforts of their beds. The few clouds that littered the sky began to shine with pink and purple light as the sun made its way higher into the sky. Suddenly, the serene scene was interrupted by a loud scream of anguish.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" screamed Inuyasha as he looked at his image in the mirror. Yesterday morning his hair had turned black, then while he was taking a nap later that day, his fangs and claws had shortened to normal human standards, and now, as he studied himself, he saw that his once bright golden orbs had changed to dark brown. He was starting to panic. This had never happened before! Why he was changing into a human, he didn't know, but it was the most frightening experience in his life. Luckily, his dog ears were still perched atop his head, but along with his hair, they had changed to black. This was not happening, not here, not now, not to him! He quickly pulled on his clothes and ran outside, intent on finding the cause for this transformation.

----Kagome's POV----

Kagome furiously rubbed his eyes, angry at being awoken so early, by a scream no less! She threw back the covers and quickly got dressed before opening her door and peering outside, hoping to catch the culprit. She jumped back in surprise as a blur rushed past her door at a speed that rivaled Kouga's. When she looked back outside, the blur rushed into the red group's children cabin. Shaking her head, she noticed that the blur's loud scream had woken up the other leaders as well who were now standing in their doorways contemplating who that was. Kagome walked over to Sango at seeing her glare in all directions, as if daring that thing to scream again. When her eyes landed on Kagome, though, they brightened a bit.

"Hey Kagome!" she greeted as Kagome walked up to her.

"Hey," she returned the favor, "do you know what that was?"

Sango shook her head, "No, but when I find out, that thing's dead," she muttered. Kagome laughed at her friend's antics.

"We'll double-team it then," Kagome grinned evilly, causing Sango to grin just as evilly.

"We'll run his boxers up the flagpole!" Sango suggested evilly.

"How do you know it's a he?" Kagome questioned.

"All the girls are counted for," she said, pointing to Okibi who looked like a zombie walking to the cafeteria.

"I see...in that case, we'll not only run his boxers up the flagpole, we'll run him up the flagpole too...in his boxers," Kagome said.

"We'll dye his hair pink!"

"We'll paint his nails!"

"We'll cover him in glitter!"

"We'll put makeup on him!"

"We'll dress him in a tutu!"

"We'll take hideous pictures of him in the tutu and blackmail him!"

"We'll expose him as..."

"Inuyasha!?" Kagome questioned, cutting off Sango.

"Inuyasha?" Sango repeated, whirling around and looking at the disgruntled figure that had just left the kid's cabin. She then turned back to Kagome.

"You know, maybe we shouldn't do those things to him," Kagome said a bit nervously, causing Sango to put on a knowing smile.

"You like him," she said in a sing-song voice, making Kagome's cheeks turn a light shade of pink.

"I do not!" she retorted.

"Kagome and Inuyasha, sittin' in a tree!" Sango began singing, skipping away from the fuming Kagome.

Kagome pause a moment before a smirk graced her lips. "What about you and Miroku?" Sango stopped dead in her tracks and slowly turned around, her face bright red.

"What about us?" she asked.

"You like him," Kagome said triumphantly.

"Do not!" Sango retorted, eyes wide.

"Then what about that day when we were watching 50 First Dates? I recall you and Miroku making out on the couch before Inuyasha told you to get a room," Kagome said, assuming a thoughtful position.

"I was caught up in the moment! I was too shocked to do anything!" Sango desperately tried to regain her composure. "And besides, Miroku was probably only being a pervert, I bet he didn't mean it," Sango said more to herself than Kagome and crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'll take you up on that bet," Kagome said, smirking.

"What bet?" Sango asked, genuinely confused.

"You just said, 'I bet he didn't mean it'," Kagome explained with a smug expression, "Well, I bet you he did!"

Sango scoffed, "You're on!"

"What are the stakes?" Kagome questioned, walking over to where Sango was.

"Hmmm...Whoever loses has to admit their feelings for the one they love," Sango said.

"Ah, so you do like Miroku," Kagome finalized, trying to get Sango to change the stakes.

"No! Grrr...Whoever loses has to sing a Britney Spears song in front of the whole camp!" Sango said. (AN: Ewww...Britney Spears...::shudder::)

"Deal!" Kagome said, thrusting her hand in between the both of them. Sango hesitantly took it and they shook hands. At seeing the look of victory on Kagome's face, Sango was a little worried.

----Inuyasha's POV----

Upon arriving inside his group's cabin, Inuyasha turned on the lights, causing little groans of protest to arise amongst the children. He stomped over to 2 beds in the back, where lied the only asleep personages. He roughly grabbed both with each hand and shook them until they groggily opened their eyes.

"G'morning, Yash!" exclaimed Kanrakuchou, a little too cheerful for Inuyasha's taste.

"Hey, dog breath, how come your eyes aren't sparkly gold anymore?" asked Ashi, eyes shining with innocent malice.

"You two know why! Now tell me what you've been doing to me!" he demanded, shaking their bodies much like he would with Shippou.

"Besides annoying you to no end?" questioned Kanrakuchou with the same innocence as Ashi.

"And showing everyone that our talents and skills are far more superior to yours?" added Ashi.

The two looked at each other and showed malevolent grins before answering in unison, "Nothing at all." The inu hanyou growled and dropped the two before storming out of the cabin and headed to Miroku's cabin. He opened the door and stormed inside, making himself comfortable on Miroku's bed.

"Ah, Inuyatha, to what do I owe thith pleathure?" questioned Miroku from the bathroom, not bothering to peek into the room. Inuyasha quirked his eyebrows in confusion as to why Miroku was lisping.

"What are you doing in there?" he asked in pure curiosity. Miroku stepped out in his dark purple bathrobe and a small white towel wrapped turban style around his head, his mouth sporting white foam and a toothbrush in his mouth.

"Bruthing my teeth," he responded before stepping back into the bathroom. Inuyasha heard a spit and some running water and rolled his eyes.

"I'm sure Sango would like to see you like that," he snickered. Miroku bolted out the bathroom, face flushed and toothpaste dripping down the side of his mouth.

"Who told you I like her?" he questioned, eyes just about to pop out of his skull.

"So you admit that you do, in fact, like her?" Inuyasha smirked. Miroku's face began to turn crimson as he waved his hands in front of him in an effort to wave off the accusations.

"N-no! She has a lovely figure but I do not like anyone!" he tried to retort. Inuyasha scoffed.

"Sure ya don't like her," Inuyasha responded in a tone thick with sarcasm.

Miroku was about to retort when an idea struck his mind causing him to grin maliciously. "What about Kagome?"

The hanyou felt his face heat up a notch, "What about her?"

Miroku's evil grin widened, "She has a lovely figure as well, doesn't she?"

Anger boiled the hanyou's blood as he clenched his fists, "You've been checking her out!?" he asked incredulously.

"No need to get so upset, Inuyasha, it's not like she's your girlfriend," the monk said, pointing out the obvious.

"Feh!" was his only response.

"But you have kissed her...when we played Truth or Dare, remember?"

"Only on a dare, I bet it didn't even mean anything to her," Inuyasha said, not expecting Miroku to hear the last bit.

"Oh really...Is that a bet, Inuyasha?" the monk said menacingly.

"No, but even if it was, I'd win it!" Inuyasha stated.

"Hmmm...I bet it did mean something to Kagome," Miroku said, cupping his chin in his hand and staring at the ceiling.

"You really wanna lose this bet? Fine by me, name the stakes," Inuyasha said confidently.

"Whoever loses...has to dance around the camp singing 'I'm a Little Teapot'."

"Feh, that's childish, even for you, Miroku," Inuyasha said.

"Fine, you think of something."

"Whoever loses...can't talk for...a month."

"A month is too long, Inuyasha."

"Fine, a week."

"That's reasonable," Miroku said, sticking his hand out towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha hesitantly took it.

"It's a deal," he said, but couldn't help but be a bit wary of the evil spark in Miroku's eyes.

----later that afternoon----

All the groups were sitting in the cafeteria, staring up at Myouga who had a couple of announcements. There were quite a few people fidgeting since they had been waiting for what seemed like hours, but was really 10 minutes.

"Ahem! I would like to announce that we are going to play football now," Myouga said, gaining the attention of all who was present. The attention soon turned to someone else as they stood up and made a declaration of joy.

"Oh boy, I love football!" Okibi exclaimed, jumping up. Only when she felt all eyes turn to her did she give a nervous laugh and sit back down.

"As I was saying, we're going to play football. Three groups will team together against the other 3. The red group, green group, and yellow group will be on a team while the blue group, purple group, and orange group will be in a group," Myouga said. He looked up to see everyone trying to figure what group the other colors were. "That means Inuyasha's, Kagome's, and Sango's group will be on a team while Kouga's, Miroku's, and Okibi's group will be on a team," he said. Everyone nodded in understanding. "All right then, let's get going," he said, leading everyone out through the cafeteria doors.

Inuyasha grumbled as he walked, looking up at the top of his head every once in a while. His dog ears were gone, replaced with human ears while he took a nap.

----Flashback----

After breakfast, Inuyasha decided to take a quick nap. He went to the tree he slept at yesterday, but went a few branches higher, positive that if it was the evil kitsunes doing this to him, they wouldn't be able to reach him up there. He leaned his back against the trunk and quickly fell asleep.

Shortly after the hanyou had fallen asleep, the two kits scampered up the tree to the branch Inuyasha fell asleep on yesterday. They didn't want to risk going any higher, so they would just have to work their magic from there. He exchanged glances and grinned evilly. The transferred some of their fox magic to the hanyou above them, effectively giving the illusion of human ears and removed dog ears. They put more magic together to fool Inuyasha into thinking he could hear out of the fake human ears and couldn't feel the dog ones. Glad that their work was done, they jumped out of the tree and ran off. They didn't know how long their magic would hold up, but they knew it would be long enough to fool Inuyasha into thinking he had turned into a human.

Inuyasha woke up 30 minutes later, feeling refreshed. Remembering what had happened yesterday and this morning, he felt the top of his head for his ears. They weren't there! His hands slowly moved down to the side of his head and felt human ears. Inuyasha's eyes went wide before he passed out and fell out of the tree.

----Un-Flashback----

He grumbled as he was pulled out of his thoughts as he saw Miroku and Kagome talking in hushed voices. They were a little too close together for Inuyasha's comfort. He peered over at Sango who seemed a little fazed about it too. He sighed and jumped in shock when a face appeared in front of him.

"Okibi, don't do that!" he growled earning an earnest smile in response.

"Me thinks you be a tad bit jealous," she said, using her fingers to indicate the 'tad bit' part. Inuyasha huffed.

"I am not jealous!" he said, crossing his arms over his torso.

"Denial's always the first stage!" she replied. Inuyasha glared at her.

"I'm not jealous," he began, "because I don't like Kagome," he stated with finality. Okibi rolled her eyes.

"Suuuuure ya don't. Well, I hope you know that your team's goin' down when we play football," she said, overly confident. Inuyasha decided to ignore her as she made her way to talk to Sango. Inuyasha looked ahead. They were following Myouga, Toutousai, and...Sesshomaru? Why was Sesshomaru still there? Inuyasha shrugged, thinking he just wanted to keep a close eye on Rin. Suddenly Inuyasha stopped and noticed that all the demons in their group did as well. He narrowed his eyes and scanned the surrounding area, saying only one word quietly.

"Naraku..."

(AN: Should kyuuka end it here? She could...she wants to...but she won't coz she really wants to put Naraku in this chappie. Hehe, evil plans...)

Everyone stood alert as a figure appeared in front of the group. He was clad in a white baboon pelt. One would laugh if they didn't know the seriousness of the person it hid. It seemed as if time itself had stopped as everyone stood rigid. Only one person dared to move. Ashi made her way to Naraku and cocked her head to the side in amusement.

"Heylo!" she greeted. When she got no response, she stepped closer and closer until she stood directly in front of him. She reached out her hand and rubbed the baboon pelt. Normally Inuyasha would've stepped in and stopped the kid from committing such a stupid action, but he was too stunned to move. Ashi stopped rubbing the fur.

"It's not as soft as Fluffy's," she said with a smirk as she ran back to the group and jumped onto Sesshomaru's fluffy thing, swinging from it as she did the first time she met him. She continued swinging, even when she heard Naraku's evil laugh.

"Kukukukuku, this girl amuses me," he said. Ashi got off Sesshomaru and stepped closer to Naraku.

"Your stupid costume amuses me," she retorted, making as if to pull the pelt off him, but he moved back causing her to miss.

"Do not touch me again, weak child," he said, his voice laced with malice. Ashi grinned evilly as she responded.

"Do not touch me again, weak child," she repeated in the most annoying voice she could muster.

"You annoy me!" Naraku spat out. Kanrakuchou stepped out from the crowd next to Ashi.

"You annoy me!" they said in unison causing Naraku to growl, which they copied as well, both giving evil growls.

"If you worthless beings do not shut up at once, I shall kill you!" he threatened.

"If you worthless beings do not shut up at once, I shall kill you!" they repeated as they began climbing on Naraku and jumping on him.

"Puny beings!!" he screamed in rage, trying desperately to get the children off him.

"Puny beings!!" they repeated. Suddenly they jumped off him and ran back to the group.

"You confuse me," he said. He half expected them to repeat him, but to his surprise and great pleasure they did not. He then turned his attention to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha...I see you are human," he said with a trace of evil.

Inuyasha gulped and back up a few steps. Myouga and Toutousai took this opportunity to round up the kids and take them back to the cafeteria. They left Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, and Okibi to deal with the threat. Unbeknownst to them, Ashi and Kanrakuchou also stayed behind, hidden in the trees.

"Ah, Okibi, have you enlisted Inuyasha to help in the rescue of your family?" he chuckled. "You always were too weak to destroy an opponent on your own," he finished. Okibi growled but remained put. She knew she wouldn't be able to take down Naraku, so she didn't try her luck.

"Naraku!" Inuyasha called, making him return his attention to him, "Today's the day you die!" he exclaimed, lunging at Naraku and readying his claws...wait, Inuyasha had nails now, not claws. Inuyasha stopped mid-lunge and growled at his misfortune.

"Inuyasha, stay back. I shall defeat Naraku on my own," said Sesshomaru as he stepped forward and drew Tokijin.

"My fight is not with you, Sesshomaru," Naraku said, beginning to disappear. "I shall defeat you, Inuyasha, when your powers have returned," he said as he fully vanished. Inuyasha growled. Usually, Naraku would have attacked him, especially if his powers were gone. This did not bode well. Naraku was hiding something and Inuyasha didn't like it. Just then, two beings jumped from the trees and landed amongst the leaders and Sesshomaru.

"Jeez, what a creepy guy," said Ashi as she stared at where Naraku had vanished.

"Yeah, a freak of nature," agreed Kanrakuchou.

"We should just call him 'Kikei' for freak," laughed Ashi.

"Or 'Henshu'," suggested Kanrakuchou, cracking a smile.

"Anyway, it means the same thing," Ashi said. Their conversation was cut short when an agitated hanyou glared at them.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Myouga?"

"Well...uh...he sent us! He sent us to tell you...to tell you that we're playing football now!" Kanrakuchou said. Inuyasha shrugged and turned back to the others.

"Guess we're playin' football," he said as he walked back to the cafeteria, the others following in his wake.

----At the football field----

Inuyasha and Kouga stood opposite of each other, growling and glaring. They had named themselves captains of their teams. Inuyasha's team had white flags while Kouga's team had black flags. Myouga and Toutousai had double-checked each person to make sure they didn't cheat when putting on their flags (AN: as in tying them so they can't be pulled off). The teams were all lined up and Kouga's team was to be on offense first. Unbeknownst to them, they were both thinking the same thought, 'Let the games begin!'

----After the football game----

Inuyasha smirked as everyone headed back to the cafeteria for dinner. His team had, of course, won. Ashi and Kanrakuchou skipped up ahead of him and seemed to be very proud of their accomplishments in their game. He heard Kouga growl behind him and he looked out of the corner of his eyes at him. He was holding an ice pack on his head and limping. He laughed as he remembered how Kanrakuchou had tackled him. Kouga had been hurt so badly that he had to sit out the rest of the game and Sesshomaru took his place. His team got a 5-yard penalty for the tackle, but to Inuyasha, it was worth it. He looked to his other side and saw Sesshomaru with a deep scowl on his face. Ashi had pulled his fluffy thing instead of his flag and he had tripped. He still played the rest of the game, but he didn't take the football after that.

They entered the cafeteria and uneventfully ate dinner. Inuyasha looked over and saw that, again, Miroku and Kagome were deep in hushed conversation. Inuyasha growled but went back to his food, every once in a while sending death glares that went unnoticed.

----Kagome's POV----

Once they got to the cafeteria, Kagome went over to Miroku and sat next to him. She had to win this bet. There was no way in hell that she was going to sing a Britney Spears song!

"Hey Miroku!" she greeted. Miroku turned towards her.

"Why hello Kagome. To what do I owe this pleasure of your company?" he questioned with a sly grin.

"Well actually, I wanted to ask how you and Sango are getting along," she said.

"Forget about Sango and me, what about you and Inuyasha?" he said, waving away her previous question.

"No, really, I wanna know how you and Sango are," she said, a bit forcefully, pressing the 'record' button on her tape recorder hidden underneath the table. Miroku sighed.

"As you wish," he began, "I really don't know how it's going between us," he said truthfully as he glanced at Sango.

"Well what about that kiss you gave her?" pressed Kagome, "It meant something to you, didn't it?"

"Yes, it did...but I'm not so sure that Sango felt the same way," he sighed sadly.

"I'm pretty sure she felt exactly the same way," said Kagome with a knowing smirk. Miroku, however, looked doubtful.

"Are you sure?" Kagome eagerly nodded.

"Absolutely!" Miroku smiled.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, tell me about you and Inuyasha," urged Miroku, pressing the 'record' button on his tape recorder.

Kagome blushed. "Well, I don't know. We haven't really...done anything...we're just friends, I guess," Kagome said sadly.

"But what about Truth or Dare, when he gave you that kiss?" he questioned.

"I suppose he only did it to complete the dare," Kagome said, "But I kinda wish it meant something to him," she muttered.

"Ah, but it did mean something to him. He's just too embarrassed to admit it," Miroku said. "And besides, it meant something to you, right?"

"Well...yeah...but are you sure...?" she trailed off as Miroku eagerly nodded.

"Positive!"

----Later that night----

Sango had just gotten comfortable in her bed when a figure barged into her cabin. Wearily rubbing her eyes, she turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the intruder.

"Kagome, what are you doing?" she asked groggily. Kagome only smiled and jumped onto Sango's bed while shoving something in front of her face.

"I got it! I win the bet!" Kagome exclaimed happily.

"Got what? What are you talking about?" Sango asked.

"I got evidence that the kiss meant something to Miroku!" Kagome exclaimed causing Sango's eyes to go wide.

"No way! Let's hear it!" she demanded, not believing Kagome had won the bet so easily. Kagome pressed the 'rewind' button until she heard a click and then pressed 'play'.

"As you wish. I really don't know how it's going between us," Miroku's voice cut through the static.

"Well what about that kiss you gave her? It meant something to you, didn't it?" they heard Kagome's voice respond.

"Yes, it did...but I'm not so sure that Sango felt the same way," came Miroku's saddened voice. Kagome quickly pressed 'stop' and smiled enthusiastically.

"See!? I win, I win, I win!" exclaimed Kagome dropping the tape recorder on the bed. Sango narrowed her eyes and pressed the 'play' button to hear the rest of the conversation.

"I'm pretty sure she felt exactly the same way," Kagome's voice came on. Kagome widened her eyes and grabbed for the tape recorder but Sango smirked and ran into the bathroom, locking the door. She turned up the volume loud enough so Kagome could hear as well.

"Are you sure?" Miroku's voice came on with skepticism etched in his voice.

"Absolutely!" Sango was about to press the 'stop' button, when to her surprise, the conversation continued.

"Well, now that that's out of the way, tell me about you and Inuyasha," Miroku's voice urged.

"Well, I don't know. We haven't really...done anything...we're just friends, I guess."

"But what about Truth or Dare, when he gave you that kiss?"

"I suppose he only did it to complete the dare, but I kinda wish it meant something to him."

"Ah, but it did mean something to him. He's just too embarrassed to admit it. And besides, it meant something to you, right?"

"Well...yeah...but are you sure...?"

"Positive!" The tape cut off and Sango pressed 'stop'. Smirking, she peeked her head out the door to see Kagome on her bed desperately to hide her blush. Apparently, she didn't notice Sango because she didn't look up.

"You like Inuyasha," Sango said in a sing-song voice. Kagome looked up, eyes wide with horror. She flew to Sango and grabbed her ankles, bowing repeatedly.

"Please don't tell him, please!?" Kagome begged.

"Oh, I don't know, since I have proof, it might make it interesting," Sango said with a mock argumentive voice.

"Oh, what if...What if I don't make you sing Britney Spears!?" she bribed. Sango looked down at her and smirked.

"Deal," she said, ending with a maniacal laugh.

----Elsewhere----

"Pst, Inuyasha!" Miroku called into Inuyasha's open window. His only response was Inuyasha rolling over onto his other side. "Inuyasha!" he said a little louder. Still nothing. "Inuyasha!!" he screamed while throwing a rather large rock at his friend's head. It landed with a loud thump and a rather loud string of curses.

"Damnit, Miroku, what do you want!?" Inuyasha asked, sitting up and glaring at his friend.

"I win the bet!" he proclaimed. Inuyasha sneered.

"Where's your evidence?" he argued.

"Right here," Miroku said, sticking the tape recorder through the open window. Inuyasha snatched it and pressed 'play'. Nothing played.

"What is this, some kind of joke?" he asked Miroku who was climbing through the window.

"You have to rewind it, Inuyasha," Miroku explained, struggling to pull himself through the small window. Inuyasha scowled and rewound it. He then pressed 'play' again causing 2 voice to cut through the static.

"Well, I don't know. We haven't really...done anything...we're just friends, I guess," he heard Kagome's voice first.

"But what about Truth or Dare, when he gave you that kiss?" Miroku's voice questioned.

"I suppose he only did it to complete the dare, but I kinda wish it meant something to him."

"Ah, but it did mean something to him. He's just too embarrassed to admit it. And besides, it meant something to you, right?"

"Well...yeah...but are you sure...?"

"Positive!" he heard the last comment on the tape as it stopped. He looked over at Miroku, intending to ask him how he got it so easily, but he stopped and laughed at the sight that met his eyes. Miroku was stuck in the window, one leg on each side, his back pressed against the top of the window and his head tilted at an odd angle.

"Inuyasha, help! I'm stuck!" he said as he frantically began trying to push his body through either side.

"Only if I'm allowed to talk for a week," he said, remembering the stakes of their bet.

"Anything, just get me out!" he replied. Inuyasha walked over and began pulling one of Miroku's arms and one of his legs.

"Ow! That hurts!" Miroku complained.

"Do you want out or not?" Inuyasha retorted, still tugging on Miroku's limbs.

"Yes," Miroku sighed. Inuyasha gave one final tug and Miroku came tumbling through the window and landed on top of Inuyasha who immediately pushed him off.

"Why didn't you use the door?" asked Inuyasha as he wiped imaginary dust off his clothes.

"The door's locked," explained Miroku. Inuyasha looked over at his door and quirked an eyebrow.

"No it's not," he said, pointing to the unlocked door handle.

"Then it's stuck," Miroku said. Inuyasha went over to the door and turned the knob, opening it with ease. He looked outside once and looked back at Miroku like he was crazy.

"I don't think it's stuck," Inuyasha said as he closed the door. Miroku went over to the door and tried turning the knob, but it didn't budge.

"Then how come I can't open it?" Miroku wondered out loud. Inuyasha sighed and walked over. He turned the handle again and it opened.

"You were turning it the wrong way," he said. Miroku looked shocked. "Now go to bed, I want some sleep," Inuyasha said, pushing his friend out of his cabin and closing the door. He then flopped down on the bed and instantly fell asleep.
