jaryjosephwantsapplejuicenow: I know what I'm going to train her with and it's not a kitchen knife. Lol. It would be funny. If you want to know what it is you'll just have to read on. I don't want to tell you because then it'll ruin everything.

Forever Evil: Thanks for the review! It's makes he feel so special! -hugs myself and grins- Have fun reading this chapter.


Sweet Dreams


InuYasha opened his eyes as he shivered. It was so cold. Where was he? InuYasha tried lifting his head to look around but a sudden pain shot through his entire left arm. Oh yeah, I've been shot. Why... Kikyo?

Ignoring the pain, he lift his head again and saw dull gray walls and cold cabinets. He looked around at his bed and saw Kagome sitting next to him. She was resting her head on his bed and there were white bandages around her arms, where she had gotten the rope burns.

He shivered again and Kagome moved. She lifted her head, rubbing her eyes.

"InuYasha, you're awake."

"Yeah. What did you think?"

"Always the same smart aleck mouth."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you ever give it a break? I mean you're in the hospital for God's sake!"

"Shut up, wench."

"Wench?"

"Yeah, you heard me."

"Well, dog boy maybe you should be quiet since I can inflict severe pain upon you!"

"Dog boy? And how will you inflict pain upon me, you wench?"

Flames arose in Kagome's eyes and he gulped. She reached out her hand and pinched him... on a spot near the wound.

"OUCH! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?"

"Ok, look, I stayed here with you over night and you don't even say thank you?"

He looked over at her and abruptly realized that she was tired. Slumping in her seat, she gave a him a weary smile.

"Thanks." he muttered.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you."

He looked over at her and noticed the triumphant grin on her face. He found himself smiling, too.

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

He nodded and closed his eyes,again realizing the coldness of the hospital. He gave an involuntary shiver.

"Are you cold?"

Her voice was quiet and kind. He shook his head. He opened his eyes again.

"What did Kikyo want?"

She hesitated.

"I'm not sure really."

"What do you mean?"


Kagome was quiet for a moment. What should I tell him? Oh yeah, Kikyo kidnapped me because she was jealous and wanted to kill me for no whatsoever reason. Oh yeah, that's perfect.

"She um... wanted to know if there was anything between you and me."

He was quiet.

"So, Kikyo was jealous? That's all?"

You took that straight from my thoughts.

"Um... yeah?"

InuYasha sighed and shuddered. It was cold and Kagome sighed. Then they both sighed at the same time. Kagome looked over at InuYasha, who was deep in his thoughts and Kagome stood up, walking over to the cabinets.

She opened one and gaped. There was a needle of every size but no blankets. She closed the cabinet and went tot he next one only to see rows and rows of vials filled with blood.

"No blankets, huh?"

"Nope."

Kagome returned back to her seat, suddenly feeling even more tired than before. She sat down and put her feet up on the hard edge of the chair. Putting her arms around her legs, Kagome put her head down on her arms.

"Are you tired?"

Kagome yawned and shook her head.

"You need a little more practice on lying."

Too tired to say anything or object Kagome nodded. InuYasha, was by now, shivering uncontrollably.

"Want to climb into bed with me?"


InuYasha looked at Kagome's startled chocolate eyes and she hesitantly climbed into bed with him. She snuggled up to him and laid her head on his chest. At once warmth flew through him and he stopped shivering. His eyes grew heavy and he fell asleep with Kagome next to him.


Sango sighed as she paced back and forth around her room. Kagome almost got into trouble and InuYasha was shot. Damn it...

There was a knock at her door. Opening it, Miroku walked in and he stopped, suddenly.

"I thought that you quit cocaine."

Sango flinched as he motioned towards her dresser. On it was a little packet of white cocaine. She shivered. She hadn't taken it yet, but was really considering it. Was Lord Sesshomaru going to fire her because InuYasha got shot? If he did then Sango would be living on the money from her bank. It would last her a while but then when she ran out she would live on the streets.

Her parents had abandoned her when they had realized that Sango used cocaine. She sighed.

"I did quit but I was just stressed out today."

"Afraid you're going to get fired?"

Sango nodded, her heart thumping fearfully.

"Did you tell him yet?"

"Who? Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sango nodded again, sitting on her bed and lying down. She closed her eyes and could almost see Kohaku's face, filled with tears, when she had been banished out of her house. She gulped. If there was one thing that she wanted to change the most, it was to never ever try cocaine.

"No, I didn't tell him... yet. You know he won't fire you right? I mean... you had no idea..."

Sango nodded, seeing the sense in that. She smiled at Miroku who was sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Do you think it was right to leave Kagome with InuYasha?"

"She wouldn't have come home with us anyways."

Miroku looked over at her, worriedly.

"So... you're not going to use the cocaine right?"

Sango shook her head, feeling much better. Miroku was obviously relieved to hear this and went over to her dresser and picked the bag up. With a stern look on his face he threw the bag out of the window.

He went over to her and laid down next to her.

"What are you thinking about?" Miroku asked.

Sango had not been thinking about anything at all but she had an urge to talk.

"Erm... I was thinking about my family."

"You have a family?"

Sango nodded as he turned on his side to face her.

"I had a brother, Kohaku, and my mom and dad."

He nodded. "So describe them."

Sango's eyes suddenly filled with tears. What was there to tell?

"My family kicked me out of the family as soon as they learned that I had used cocaine."

Miroku's eyes flamed.

"They did what?"

"They cared for me... Well, at least I thought they did. They were all crying when they kicked me out... especially my brother Kohaku..."

"Sango?"

"Yeah?"

"You know that you have a family right now, right?"

"I do?"

Miroku scowled.

"Yes, you do. It's me, Kagome, Rin, and InuYasha. We'll always be together."

Sango nodded and suddenly felt herself being pulled into an embrace. She snuggled deeper onto Miroku's chest and sighed happily. And in that way, they both fell asleep.


Ending note: So what's up? Thanks for all of the reviews so far! This chapter was pretty pointless. I put a little bit of Miroku and Sango into here. If you want more of them, than just request. Lets hope the next chapter is more interesting. One more thing, next chapter we are going to have a party! Review, please!
