Yuki's eyes fluttered open. Slowly the image of Bankotsu became clear.

"You… sat here, by my side, all this time?" 'How sweet!'

"Yes, I had to make sure you won't slack off when you get up."

'And then AGAIN, maybe not…'

"You've been napping away for long enough, now get to work."

'Arrrr…. Baka, baka, BAKA! WHAT A JERK!'

"What are you waiting for? Buddha to ask you? Get moving!"

"Fine, fine…" 'Wait a minute… when he sent Mukotsu,' she shuddered at the thought of him, 'away he spoke of Inuyasha; and I'm pretty sure it the same one, I mean, how many Inuyasha's can there be? That means my salvation may be near! I swear I'll never clean a single window for as long as live! Well, maybe one…'

"Say you love me every waking moment,

Turn my head with talk of summertime.

Say you need me with you now and always.

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you…"

Yuki sang to herself while preparing lunch.

"Sugoi!"

She heard a voice and turned to see Suikotsu.

Yuki gasped thinking:' OMG, he heard me sing? Oh no, I didn't' want anyone to hear me!'

"What's wrong with you, kisama, do you find yourself too important to answer me?"

"Lie, Gomen, Suikotsu sama and Domo arigato for your kind compliment."

"Whatever…" he walked away leaving Yuki alone again.

'Well there is ONE good thing about today; I only have to cook for three! At least it seems so, According to Bankotsu Jakotsu is gone and that horrible Mukotsu was sent away, I haven't seen Kyoukotsu either not that it matters, he only eats innocent children.' She frowned and shuddered at the thought.

'So… what will it be today… I really hope Suikotsu won't say anything about me singing…'

Of course, as usual, her hopes shattered as she served lunch.

"Here is our famous singer!" Renkotsu commented with a tad of sarcasm and smirked.

'Oh no! that bastard! He DID tell, oh dear this just keeps getting better and better.'

"C'mon sing for us." Bankotsu said looking her in the eye.

"Really, this isn't necessary; I'll go get the sake…"

"NO! stay here and do as you're told."

"YO! GINKOTSU," Suikotsu shouted, "Come here and see the show!"

'I'm going to die, this is so embarrassing…'

"What's with you today, you're so slow, come on already!"

"Okay…

Say you love me every waking moment,

Turn my head with talk of summertime.

Say you need me with you now and always.

Promise me that all you say is true

That's all I ask of you.

All I want is freedom,

A world with no more night.

And you always beside me

To hold me and to hide me.

Say you'll share with me one love one lifetime.

Say the word and I will follow you…"

When she finished the song she noticed something strange-

They all had weird looking expressions.

"Your voice it's… AMAZING!" Bankotsu said.

"Gesh!" Ginkotsu agreed.

Yuki blushed. "Arigato… I'll um… get the sake now…" and she walked away thinking:

'Maybe he isn't so bad after all…'

Okay children, what did we learn in today's Japanenglish?

Baka stupid

Sugoi awosome

Kisama filth (or bitch, according to some….)

Lie no

Dom Arigato thank you very much.

That's it, I believe.

Yuki's song-

"All I ask of you" from "The Phantom Of The Oprah" (Christine's part).

That's all for today, bye!
