Erm, you had to wait. I got sleepy, had to take a nap, and when I got up and finished the chappie I'd been in the middle of, it was time to leave.

Tatoosh: Ah, I'm evil again! J

Kolohe: Evil, shnevil. I shall update as soon as I can. Even I have to go to bed occasionally. My other halves demand it!

She stared at him, dumbfounded. What? I'm pregnant? I don't even remember loosing my virginity, and I got pregnant??? That is so not fair! I… I… I need to go to sleep. This will all make sense in the morning. Sure! I'll wake up, and find out I was dreaming, and that none of this is real. "I'm going to bed now. Goodnight."

Kagome settled down on the mat, drew a light blanket over herself. That's right. This will all make sense when I *yawn* wake up.

Inu-Yasha crept closer to her, watching her as she slept, wondering what decision she would make. She loves me, I know that much… now. She loves me. She does want me around. I haven't been completely rejected. But… if she doesn't want to be my mate, to have my children… what then? How can she say she loves me, but not be willing to be mine?

He shook his head, silvery hair swishing. It was doing him no good to sit here, stare at her. He felt the need to be out, under the stars. Away from the turmoil she caused him, until she decided. An' it's not like she'll decide anything while she's sleeping. I'll just go out and see how many stars I can count. Maybe I can find a demon to fight. That'd be good. That'd keep me distracted awhile. Think I'll go demon-hunting.

His fangs gleamed when he smiled, and bounded out the door.

Jewel: My muse has been stuck at this point for over a month now. If it wasn't for the fact that he wields the magical muse eraser and has threatened to erase all the ideas for Unforgivable, I would use "encouraging" methods upon him. And would someone please explain to me how I wound up with a male muse living inside my head?

Muse: You like men.

Jewel: Your explanation doesn't count. Why are you stuck there?

Muse: *holds up his latest drawing*

Jewel: *drools* Oh. Yeah. I forgot. *Blinks* Wait… didn't I used to have another muse?

Muse: *points to bed in the corner*

Jewel: *looks* Oh, hell. Sorry folks. Looks like the appropriate muse for this story is a bit tied up at the moment… it's being indefinitely delayed.

Appropriate Muse: *muffled* Ivgtde! Mmeooo!

Muse: *applies cattle prod* Shut-up. I'm working.

AM: *muffled* Usrrskst! Igtuths!

Jewel: Um, does that mean you have an idea?

AM: *nods*

Jewel: *examines knots, turns to hopeful readers* This will take a bit. Please accept the above token until I get these knots undone *dodges muse* and this particular muse carefully stowed *dodges again* someplace safer! *runs*
