Chapter Four
Training, Training And … More Training!
Everyone had finally managed to get back to Kagome's house, though it was way past dinner and their stomachs were rumbling. Thankfully, her mother had saved dinner leftovers so all Kagome had to do was heat them up. All the guys, excluding Shippo, dug into their meals with ferocity while the girls and Shippo stared at them a little but just sighed and ate their meals with more … dignity.
"Kagome, I must compliment your okaa-san on this wonderful meal!" Miroku said between mouthfuls. Kagome chuckled a little bit, smiling and nodding and everyone murmured their agreement. Her mother would really be happy to hear it.
"Well … we better get some rest. We have to be at the office early tomorrow for some more training. The guys groaned a little.
"Throughout my whole period as the lord of the western lands, not once has it been as physically straining as I have just experienced." InuTashio said as he stood, handing Kagome the dinnerware or 'plates' as she had referred to them as.
Sesshomaru nodded. "Even this Sesshomaru has to agree that it has been a straining day even for one such as myself." The guys retreated to the guest rooms, in which they had to be two to a bed.
"You better not fondle me this time, Sesshomaru." InuYasha snapped, earning a growl from his brother.
"You have been hanging around these humans too much, little brother. I would never stoop so low as to fondle the likes of you." InuYasha growled a return.
"That didn't stop you last night." There was a yelp and a growl followed by some rumbling. Kagome sighed a little. She had been waiting for this and she had the perfect antidote. Walking into where the brothers were fighting like children, Kagome released a subduing necklace, just like Kaede had taught her. This time, however, it wasn't going around InuYasha's neck but Sesshomaru's. She opened her eyes to the chaos that was folding before them with fire in her eyes.
"Sit down!" Both brothers were sent face first into the floor and Kagome crossed her arms, looking down at them like a disapproving mother would.
"We've had a long day and we've got an even longer day ahead of us tomorrow so NO fighting!" She scolded. Sesshomaru just rose, brushing himself off and walking into the room. InuYasha followed suit but grumbled a little.
The other older males looked to her in slight fear and quickly said goodnight, running into their rooms. Sango and Ayame were standing behind Kagome, watching the whole thing and they laughed. Kagome turned to them and smiled, giggling a little with them. After a minute, she sighed.
"Well, I think that we, too, should get to bed." The girls nodded and Kagome picked up Shippo who was allowed to stay with them in her room. She was ever thankful that her mom had gotten an extension on the house while she was away. She now could fit her; Ayame, Sango and Shippo in her room comfortably and still have room for one more person. Sango and Ayame had agreed to wear a pair of Kagome's pajamas and Shippo was wearing a pair of Sota's old ones. He looked so adorable in a pair of PJ's with cowboys on them.
They talked about how even though they were in the future; Miroku was still the biggest flirt in the world and how InuTashio must be taking flirting lessons from him. They all laughed lightly and fell asleep, thinking thoughts of the day's events.

A/N: All right … I know it was kind of short but I couldn't really think of anything else. It was kind of funny though right? I hope so! I also hope you didn't find it too short …
Disclaimer: Yes … we all know that I don't own InuYasha … -sigh- I will though! –Triumphant music plays-
