Chapter 2: Their First Night

Inu-yasha, Kagome, and Shippo had walked into Kagome's house. It was 10:00 at night and Souta should have been in bed by now. Instead, he was on the couch, watching TV. He turned it off as soon as they walked in. He stared at Inu-yasha and Shippo, his eyes wide. He stared espeacially hard at Inu-yasha's ears and Shippo's tail. Kagome looked sternly at Souta.

"Souta, you should have been in bed by now!"she yelled, as Souta got off the couch and walked over to them.

"Sorry. I wanted to stay up a bit,"said Souta, not really listening. He was too busy staring.

"Your curfew's 9:00!"yelled Kagome. She pointed at the clock that was in the kitchen. "You call that a bit? You've been up an hour later then you should be!"

"I said I was sorry!"yelled Souta.

Kagome sighed and turned to Inu-yasha and Shippo. "Now, I'm going to get my stuff to go over Yuka's house. Get to know Souta."

"But Kagome!"yelled Inu-yasha, but Kagome had already started to walk up the staires.

Souta, Inu-yasha, and Shippo stared awkwardly at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Soooo...we meet again,"said Inu-yasha.

"Yeah,"said Souta. He turned his gaze to Shippo. "So, who are you?"

"I'm Shippo!"yelled the little fox boy.

Souta walked to Shippo's side, knelt down, and pulled a little on his tail. "You must really like foxes. You even had an operation to have a fox tail and fox feet! Did it hurt?"

"Actually, I'm a fox de"

"Of course it hurt, Souta! What do you think?"

Kagome had run downstaires just in time to stop Shippo from saying that he was a demon. She had a pink bag with her, supposedly full of cloths. She went to the coat rack and grabbed her coat, Souta still pulling on Shippo's tail.

"Now, I've really got to get going. If I continue to stay here, me and Yuka may not have enough time to chat about boys and stuff."said Kagome, as she began to put her coat on.

Inu-yasha looked at her, his eyebrows raised. "You talk about what?"

"Forget it!"yelled Kagome, blushing.

"Ha ha! We heard you!"yelled Souta, pointing at Kagome as he stood up.

"Just shut up! Now, I've gotta go! See ya!"yelled Kagome. She walked torwards the door, turned around and waved good-bye, and walked out the door. Souta stuck out his tongue and walked over to the couch.

"So, Souta, I guess you're suppose to go to bed now,"said Shippo, but Souta had already started jumping on the couch.

"Souta, cut it out!"yelled Inu-yasha, as he walked over to the couch.

"No way!"yelled Souta.

Inu-yasha was getting angry. You could see it in his eyes. He suddenly grabbed Souta by the shirt and held him high up in the air. Inu-yasha began to growl and fear appeared in Souta's eyes. Shippo jumped onto Inu-yasha's shoulder and bonked him on the head. Now Inu-yasha's evil gaze turned to Shippo.

"Why the hell did you do that for?"he asked.

"We can't hurt Souta,"said Shippo. "If anything happens to him, Kagome's going to be really mad."

"Feh! Is that supposed to matter to me?"asked Inu-yasha.

"Hello, did you forget about me?"said Souta, poking Inu-yasha's arm.

Inu-yasha growled at Souta again, and Shippo pinched his cheek, trying to get his attention back. "Kagome's not going to keep her promise if you hurt him."

This finally caught Inu-yasha's attention. He may not know what a week was, but he DEFINETALY didn't want Kagome to say sit for a while. Grumbling, he put Souta down on the floor gently. Shippo jumped off Inu-yasha's shoulder and landed on the couch, smiling. Inu-yasha sighed, trying to calm down.

"Please go to bed,"he tried to say calmly.

"I still want to stay up a little late,"said Souta.

"Come on, Souta! You've gotta go to bed!"yelled Shippo, getting off the couch. "What would your sister say if she found out that you didn't go to sleep when she left? I'll show you!"

In a puff of smoke, Shippo transformed into Kagome. He began walking to Souta, wagging his finger.

"Souta, you've been a very bad boy,"he began to say. "Now, please go to beYAAAAAA!"

Shippo had tripped over his own feet and now was lying on the floor, back to his normal form. Inu-yasha and Souta smiled, trying to hold it back. But the laughter had won, and they found each other laughing so hard they could barely breath.

"That was awsome! You know magic tricks!"yelled Souta, clutching his stomach in pain. "Hey, do another one!"

Shippo smiled. "Of course I'll do another one! Infact, I'll do one I've always wanted to do."

In another puff of smoke, he transformed into Inu-yasha. He began to walk around the room in a girly way.

"Hello! I'm Inu-yasha, and I like to walk like this!"he yelled, placing one of his hands on his hip as he walked. "I really like to go into the feilds and pick pretty little flowers and"

"THAT'S IT! EVERYONE, GET YOUR BUTTS TO BED, NOW!"yelled Inu-yasha, going into an embarrased rage.

Souta and Shippo looked totally scared and ran upstaires for cover. Inu-yasha sat down on the couch, ticked off. You could probably see steam coming out of his ears. Shippo had DEFINETALY gone too far. He was going to have to get him for that some day. He laid down on the couch and closed his eyes. Kagome was out of her mind if she wanted him and Shippo to watch this runt for 2 days. He didn't even know what 2 days were.
