(Pre-Author's-Note: This is gonna be pretty much a really odd chapter, mostly them in a chatroom. Sorreh. I'm gonna be going to a Simple Plan/Good Charlotte/ Reliant K concert soon, and won't be back til Sunday. But ph34r not. I have enough time until I leave to give ya'll a nice, but rather short, chapter. This is kind of gonna be a odd kind of chapter, but you have to read to find out! BWAHAHAHA!)

Disclaimer, which I have been lacking recently: If I invested in a company that owned Inuyasha, would that mean that...I would partially own him...? Until then, since I'm too young to fiddle with stocks, I don't. Reality sucks.

On the way home, Kagome and Inuyasha walked side by side, unaware of the curious looks they were getting from Emi and Suichi. As they rounded the corner, the two younger hanyous halted. "Something happened. You see how big red acts, I'll see about Ka-chan. M'kay?" Suichi nodded, since this was a most...interesting...development. Inuyasha seemed cold usually. Kind of distant. Now he seemed protective of someone he only met a short while ago. The pair started moving again to catch up with the other two, since Emi's house was just around the corner.

Inuyasha was about to keep going when a pair of frail arms hooked around him, and soft lips brushed his cheek. "I appreciate how you want to help, but I'll be fine," Kagome whispered into his ear. A flush of dark pink graced his face as she let go and raced inside. Suichi and Emi rounded the corner in a kind of jog, and stopped short. "What the fuck." Emi's eyes widened. "Okay, something just happened. I'm about to find out. I'll see you later." She ran past Suichi, hopped the stairs with a "See ya, Inu-kun," and dashed into the house. "Ka-chaaaannnn! What in the Seven Hells just happened out there! Inu-kun was blushing, so what did you do!" Kagome, who was at the top of the stairs, blushed. "Nothing..." she murmured. "Nothing my ass. I've known Inu-kun for a while, and that was the first time I ever saw him blush that badly. Now spill it." "Well..." Kagome whispered, her voice very low, "I...uh...kissed him..." Emi's jaw dropped and her legs gave out beneath her, landing her straight on her ass. "YOU WHAT!"

Suichi was pestering Inuyasha as well. "Oh, c'mon, just write down what happened!" he whined. Inuyasha growled, and wrote, You're sounding like a pup. "So what! I won't quit bothering you til you tell me. Tell. Tell. Tell. Tell. Tell. Tell..." The older inuhanyou's ears flattened down on his head. Fine, dammit. She kissed me. "Oh. Wait...what! She kissed you!...Did you kiss her back?..." Inuyasha glared. Of course not, you perverted twit. She's confused right now, and I kinda tried to help her, so she didn't know what she was doing. Otherwise she wouldn't dare do that. Suichi sighed. "You're hopeless, Inuyasha. You've got a pretty girl your age that likes you and you're wallowing in your own self pity. Stoppit. You're gonna give me a-...wait, too late, I've got the headache." His ears flattened against his head in pain. 'Well, she wouldn't...' a voice in Suichi's head whispered. Inuyasha's voice. Thinking hard, Suichi replied, 'YES SHE WOULD YOU DUMBASS.'

When Suichi and Inuyasha got home, Suichi sprang up their stairs for his room. Each room of the house had it's own phone line, courtesy of Sesshoumaru, who was never home to use them. Always away on business trips and whatnot. When he was home, he wasn't that bad, he just kept to himself, away from Suichi and Inuyasha. But he was rarely there, so they didn't have to worry about him.

Dialing the number for Emi's phone line (her family wasn't too shabby for money themselves, they had a phone line for Emi, Kagome, and her parents), he closed his door and fell back onto his bed. Someone picked up and turned down the music, "Say Days Ago" by The Used, on her end. "Hey Suichi. I've got news."
"She confess to you?"
"Yup. Inuyasha confess t'you?"
"'Course. That..."
"Was shocking? Yeah." She snickered. "So.." Walking back over to her computer, she looked to see who else was online. A bunch of her message board friends, and her penpal in Wisconsin. "You notice how everyone's suddenly hookin' up? It's kind of funny, or, at least, I think it is." She spun in her swivel chair. Little did she realize, on the other end, Suichi was blushing. 'Dammit. If I ask her out now, she'd..think it was funny. But would that mean she doesn't like me? Shit...She's so confusing!' Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "You okay? You're awfully quiet." He coughed. "Uh, yeah, I'm..um...fine..."

Emi reached for her notebook, her poetry. She felt a big writing session coming on. She grinned at a little cartoon Suichi had drawn on the back cover when he had taken it away from her before. She had been writing and drawing a little during homeroom. He had snatched it away, and though she had fought to get it back, he wouldn't give it back to her until he finished his drawing.

It was a little anime Gothic Lolita Emi, dancing, and what she guessed what a version of himself in anime form, Suichi about to trip her. A lightning bolt came out of nowhere and smote him, and she kept dancing. It wasn't drawn very well, but it was cute. Kagome had seen it once and laughed about it, saying it looked more like a catgirl version of her.

Inuyasha leaned against the wall outside of Suichi's room. He had to fight down a grin coming to his face. 'Suichi's such a dork...' he thought, his grin coming through. He walked across the hall back into his own room and sat down at his desk, where a flat screened moniter stared at him. He wiggled the mouse and waited for it to come out of stand by.

When the screen finally showed him a couple windows, he turned his attention to who was online. Emi, Suichi, Miroku, Kirara...and Kagome. He wasn't sure if she knew who he was if he were to IM her, but he did anyways.

On Kagome's computer, an "accept this message" window came up for "user taintedblood." She rose an eyebrow and accepted.

taintedblood: Hey.
kuromiko: um...hi?
taintedblood: You dunno who this is, do you?
kuromiko: not the faintest idea
taintedblood: It's Inuyasha.

Her eyebrows rose. "Oh!" She clicked "add to my buddy list."

kuromiko: hey! ; sorry, i didn't know what your screenname was.
taintedblood: S'okay. What's up?
kuromiko: not much, you?
taintedblood: Basically the same, except for using my cousin as entertainment.
kuromiko: how so?
taintedblood: It's pretty much obvious to everyone but Emi.
kuromiko: OH! xD yeah, but it's ky00t!

She giggled. It was cute, but she could only imagine how frusterating it must be for them. Inuyasha, however, sighed. As older cousin and big brother figure, it was his sole duty to help his poor cousin.

7huNd3r c47: Yo.
kuromiko: oh, no, not you again
7huNd3r c47: ;-; I love you too, Ka-chan! -sobsob-
kuromiko: i know :D
7huNd3r c47: What's goin' on? I'm thinking about making a chat.
kuromiko: somehow that scares me, your chats always seem to be frightening.
7huNd3r c47: --; With the group, you idiot.
kuromiko: oh
kuromiko: ok

Emi sent out an invite to Kagome, Inuyasha, Suichi, Miroku, and Kirara. She reckoned everyone else would be on soon enough.

7huNd3r c47: Welcome, welcome, ladies and gents, to the most faboolus chat currently on the web!

taintedblood: Hold on, let me go see what the Hell he's doing.
nyan nyan: Okie day.
kuromiko: i'm still kinda confused here
7huNd3r c47: Basically, this is where we defy the laws of nature. Think things I would do if I were on a sugar high.
kuromiko: holy shit
hentai houshi: yea

On everyone's screen, the user "Punisher Taijiya" came online. Emi invited her to the chat.

7huNd3r c47: Whee!
Punisher Taijiya: damnit, emi, u invited me to another one with HIM here

kuromiko: basically, only emi trying to l337-ify miroku to death
kuromiko: which would have been really funny if she would have continued
taintedblood: Yeah, but it would have made the net filthy.
7huNd3r c47: .. Meanie heads.
taintedblood: Aww, Emi, we know someone still loves you!
kuromiko: yeah! xDDD
Punisher Taijiya: XD u guys are so mean to her!
7huNd3r c47: -confused, as usual, because of you dolts-
taintedblood: OHHH SUIIIICHIIIIIII! Where'd ya go, oh dearest little cousin of mine!

7huNd3r c47 has just left the chat.

Inuyasha could hear Suichi coming down the hallway, stomping loudly.

A/N: Okay, well, Angie, my love (;D) is gonna be here in about 30 minutes to steal me away to the concert, which is this Saturday in Jacksonville. It starts at 7PM. I'm gonna be dead tired. xX Review! Please. Help me keep what little of my sanity I have.
