Chapter 11:Sleeping Arrangements andthe Fate of the Shikon Jewel

Well, the holidays are coming up fast and the poof is allfriggin' over the place. On radio stations, on TV, on billboards, in department stores. ARE WE SAFE NOWHERE? Anyhoo, guys, I think I'm starting to get too many reviewers. Soon, I won't be able to recognize you one at time. Is that good? Oh, and speaking of, no, that last fact was not from experience.Anyway, my father told me what the fourth wall is, and for your information, the characters aren't the ones breaking the fourth wall, I am. The characters, however, are the ones paying for the damages. Why? Because I control every single detail of their life. That's why nobody ever has to burp, or go to the bathroom, or anything. Being able to control the fate of the strongest group of people in Feudal Japan is fun. Try it some time. Seriously.Do it.

The sleeping arrangements aren't as interesting as they probably could be because I'm just plain too realistic. In fact, I should probably take that out of the title, but I'm also lazy. Anyway, the second group had insisted that the first took the beds, being that Kagome hadn't had a bed in months, and the closest thing the others had ever had was those little mat things that people slept onin that time. What are those? Anyway, knowing that Kagome would take the bed whether he did or not, Inuyasha outright refused, and sat down cross-legged against the wall. However, he did sit noticeably closer than he usually would. Sango slept in the bed, on the very edge, her back facing Miroku. As hard as he tried, (and boy, did he try!), Miroku couldn't get so much as a "Stopdoing that, I'm asleep." out of her. Eventually he gave up, and left Sango to her inner battle. Who knows effect that could have had, though? Kirara2's cat bed was large enough for both to sleep there comfortably. The Shippos were so small, Shippo slept at the head of the bad, and Shippo2 slept at the foot of the bed. They had so much room; they soon forgot the other was there. The second group slept on the floor, in sleeping bags Kagome2 had saved for old times' sake. At one point during the night, Sango2 could just barely be heard whispering, "Not now. Do you have any idea what that would to her in her state?" After that, one could also hear Miroku2 groan in dissapointment.

IN THE MORNIN' TIME!

Everyone woke up, as people often do. Kagome2 fixed up breakfast, and they gathered around the low table to eat breakfast, which was rather cramped, because it was meant for eight people at the most, and there were ten there. Kirara2 shared a bowl of Friskies (not mine) from Kagome's time. Man, she's got a lot of money. Sango2 had to feed herself, which was difficult because Sango was no help at all. At one point during the typical breakfast-time small talk, Kagome asked about something that had been nagging at the back of her mind since she had seen Kaede. "Say," said Kagome, her mouth half-full of ninja food. She swallowed and continued, "whatever happened to the Shikon Jewel?" Everyone went quiet and put down their utensils. At least, that's what Kagome had expected. What really happened was more along these lines: Kagome2 lifted her head, swallowed, and asked, "Nothing. Do you wanna see it? It's in the house." "Really? I've been all over this place, and I didn't find it." said Shippo. "Exactly." said Kagome2. The first group was confused. "I'll show you after breakfast." said Kagome2, and she went back to her food. At that point, everyone started eating faster, except Sango, the Kiraras, and Inuyasha, who has eating as fast as possible at the time, anyway.

AFTER BREAKFAST!

Conveniently, everyone finished at the same time, and Kagome2 and Inuyasha2 led everyone to their room. There was a near-unnoticeable hole in their wall, hidden behind the dresser full of clothes from that time. Kagome had been dressed as she used to be for the anniversary of Naraku's death. She had changed that morning, but I couldn't really fit that in 'til now. Anyway, Kagome2 hooked her finger into the hole, and pulled it to the right. There, in a sort of large ring box, sat the complete Shikon Jewel, sparkling in all its beautiful pink glory. Now everyone gasped. Well, Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo did. Inuyasha just sorta didn't. He really didn't get why it was so surprising. "Why haven't you made a wish, yet?' asked Shippo, blurting out what everyone (except Inuyasha)was thinking. "I'm sure you know that making a wish on the jewel, would cause it to disappear, correct?" asked Miroku2. Sango2 finished his thought by saying, "Well, we figured that, since the Shikon Jewel is what keeps the well open, we'd rather have Kagome be able to visit her family, than anything else." Kgome2 added, "But if the well ever closed up on its own, we decided that we'd use the jewel to open it back up again." "Wow, you've really thought this through, haven't you?" asked Miroku. "Well, we've had a lot of time." said Sango2. How'd you get the wall to open like that?" Inuyasha couldn't help but ask. "It was in the design plans for the house." explained Kagome2, "It wasn't easy to build, but considering the importance of the jewel, I'd say it's worth it." Everyone nodded with expressions on their faces that read, "Yeah, I'm so smart. I figured that out all by myself." Miroku stopped. While everyone, (Well, not Sango), was looking like they were smart, Miroku was reallybeing smart inside his head. He asked, "Wait. Why not just wish the well would stay open now? Perhaps you could even adjust it so that we could travel through the well, as well." "We thought about that…" began Sango2. "But if the well stays open forever, then that's a waste of a wish. And if it didn't, then we'd have to word the wish just right. Otherwise, any old person or demon could just waltz right through the well to Kagome's time and wreak every kind of havoc imaginable. Perhaps even some that aren't." "Oh." said Miroku, in the tone that people always use when they've been proven wrong. "I hadn't thought of that." Kagome2 put the jewel back in the box, and the box back in the wall hole. "Well, anymore questions?" she asked, pulling the cover back to the left where ithad originally been. The first group looked at each other, and then shook their heads "no." "Okay then. Let's go do something." said Kagome2 as she stood up and walked off, everyone else following after.

Well, I'm clueless. I've got no idea what to do next. I need to have them do something that splits the group into InuKag and MirSan groups. If any of you have any ideas, please submit them. Because if you don't chapter twelve's never gonna come. Get it? Whaddaya mean "no?" Listen, just shut up! I don't need you! This whole courtroom's out of order! (twitch). I think that's a sign to stop. Here's you fact. I think I'm going to start a little bibliography of where I get my facts from. Chapter 1: My big brother.Chapter 2: N/A. Chapter 3: Chapter 4: Science class. Chapter 5: My big brother. Chapter 6: some website. Chapter 7: Some other website. Chapter 8: 1,000 Questions and Answers. Chapter 9:Avideo in history class. Chapter 10: A video in helath class.

Chapter 11 Random Fact: Statistics show, that by the age of 12, children of heard the words, "No" and "you can't do that" 180,000 times. I like to think that I help out a lot with that.
