The Goth Wars

By Demonica….

Sango: this chapter is dedicated to Bluejinjo , happy birthday!

Miroku: Yes happy birthday!(Brings out huge birthday cake)

Everybody: (sings happy birthday… slightly out of tune)

Sango: Demonica still doesn't own any of the Inuyasha related indicia… sadly we are not hers…. But this plot line is!

Chapter 12…. Oh poo! I dropped my donut! (Hunts around under computer desk)

Kagome woke early the next morning, why? She hadn't a clue, maybe it was the fact she was lying with her face on the cold floor? Or was it because sometime in the night she had drooled on herself and her hair was not coated to her face? Nope not it either.

Picking herself up she looked at her digital alarm on a small table across from her. When did she get an alarm clock? Scratching her side she staggered into the bathroom, intent on getting a shower and brushing her teeth. She was halfway through her shower when someone turned on the hot water.

"HOLY CHEESE AND RICE THAT'S COLD!" she yelled jumping out of the shower and wrapping a bathrobe around herself before she went in search of the culprit. Immediately she marched to Inuyasha's room, wait a second. Didn't she go back to sleep in his bed after his little sob session? This confused her for a second before she strutted into Inuyasha's bathroom. There he was with the hot water tap running, brushing his teeth.

"Mornin' Kagome… um you do realise you still have soap in your hair." He pointed out as Kagome's foot tapped impatiently on the floor.

"Thanks captain obvious, but can u turn the water off I'm trying to take a shower!" she spat as he immediately turned off the water. A smile curved her face as she trotted back to her shower. Ah, how she loved her shower and her lovely herbal essences.

Once again with more herbal essence induced screaming she had not only Inuyasha but Shippo and Sesshomaru cringing into their bowls of cereal or coffee cups. Finally she stepped out of the shower feeling totally renewed and fresh as she dressed in her ritual black cargos and red baggy tee shirt. For some reason Inuyasha's black hoodie with 'I Am Normal' written up side down in red sat on a stack of her clothes. She shrugged and pulled it overtop of her tee shirt and then pulled a set of very old silver bracelets onto her wrists.

Now it was time to hunt down Sango and the boys, all of the boys in fact. She checked all of their respective rooms, only Sango was still on the floor trying to find her missing pink earring that had mysteriously vanished overnight. Kagome left the floor travelling downstairs as she followed the wafting aroma of pancakes and waffles. There were a ton of floors she found out as she finally made it to the bottom via the handrail. The bottom of the palace became detached the Kitchen separate from the rest of the wooden structure for fire hazard safety.

She crossed the little covered pathway into the kitchen as she was greeted by Rin, Sesshomaru, Shippo, Miroku and Inuyasha who were all at various stages of awake around an enormous oak table.

"Morning everyone" She said taking a seat in between Inuyasha and Shippo, gratefully accepting the plate of waffles Rin laid in front of her.

"How come I don't get any waffles?" Inuyasha sulked as he tried to snatch a piece from Kagome. She slapped his hand and growled at him, very impressively for a human. Sesshomaru, Shippo and Rin raised eyebrows before continuing what they were doing.

"Good morning everyone!" Sango said in high spirits as she flounced into her chair next to Miroku. He muttered an unintelligent reply before his head went smack down into his cheerio's. Sango sighed and pulled him out of the soggy cereal and lay his head down on the table, snoring ensued.

"I take it he's not a morning person" Shippo said as he drained his cereal bowl. Kagome shook her head as she slapped Inuyasha's hand away from her plate once again.

"Unfortunately he's been that was since his father used to wake him up every morning at the crack of dawn for training, now he just can't stay awake in the morning." Kagome said as she polished off the rest of her breakfast. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at Kagome.

"Shouldn't it be the other way around? He gets up every morning early and can't help it?" He inquired as Kagome shrugged.

"Miroku works in mysterious ways… it's almost like he's backwards. You say do something and he won't and u say don't do something and he excels at it. I'll just say he's one weird friend" Kagome placed her plate in the sink as Shippo bounced beside her to put his dishes into the sink.

"So, what now?" Kagome asked as everyone stared at her, with the exception of Miroku and Sango.

"Well, we all have school in two weeks and still need to get you the right clothes for school. Otherwise you'll stick out like a sore-"Sesshomaru cut Inuyasha off with a duff over the head with his news paper.

"Kagome, we need to get you, Sango and Miroku some standardized clothing for this place. You're doing pretty well so far I must admit" He said as Kagome looked at herself.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" she asked like a five year old as she checked her pant legs. Rin led Sango over to Kagome,

"Come upstairs and I'll show you the types of clothes you'll need. This is my ninth year and my final so it won't be too hard to find you some clothes that fit. Oh, and Guys pull out some of your old stuff, I want to mix and match here" Rin said as she pulled the two girls behind her.

A 'sure' came from the kitchen as was the filling of a glass of water, then Miroku's spluttering. The girls shook their heads as they managed to find an elevator before Rin pulled the fancy golden lever up. In a few second they were on their floor again, with Rin leading them down the hall by their wrists.

She entered into her and Sesshomaru's room before commanding them to sit on the bed as she begun her rifling throughout her closet.

Rin tossed several different pieces of clothing onto the bed; they all appeared to be some type of Kimono like top that at the hip split and turned into a long piece of material in front and one in back. It was long enough to just touch their ankles as Rin continued to pull more variations out of her closet, all marked on the right hand lapel was a small symbol of a claw slashing through the fabric and Demonicus school for Magical martial Arts and training. Written in red scrawl at the bottom. The logo came in various colours on ever shirt Rin pulled.

"So, now we wait for the guys" She said as Sesshomaru appeared from no where, scaring Kagome within an inch of her life.

A few minutes later Inuyasha returned with six pairs of what looked like pants and gloves along with Shippo who carried something like boots and what seemed to be some type of armour.(Armor for you Americans out there) Kagome sat stunned as she watched them lay all of these variations of clothes down. Sango sat in silence as well as everyone looked at them, waiting.

"So, what are these clothes supposed to look like?" Kagome asked as Rin sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Here, I'll show you" She said snatching a bright blue and yellow set and marched out of the room, a few seconds later she returned. The outfit consisted of the shirt, a pair of pants that were so baggy they appeared to be a skirt, but those tied around your front so they were easily to be lost. Underneath that Rin had an almost spandex like black pants that came to her knees. From the calf down was supposed to be covered with either braces or tape. Her shoes consisted of a soft moccasin like boot that covered a good portion of her leg so that they couldn't be kicked off, those were black as well. To top it all off she had light blue fingerless gloves, and arm braces to her elbows.

"It's pretty cool, but the guys are better, they get the option to wear baggy pants or not. We only get to if were in training sessions, the rules are really dumb." Rin said as she twirled around.

"Rin, your forgetting the different levels of the school. Kagome, Sango and Miroku will need to pass an entrance test to be put into their level. Since your human you'll most likely be a level one or two but not much higher than that unless you're a priestess or monk or something to that effect than you can progress levels like we can" Sesshomaru said as Miroku walked into the room. Still looking displeased about his awakening gift.

"What do you mean by human?" Sango asked as everyone in the room exchanged glances.

"Might as well tell them" Shippo said as Inuyasha scoffed and let his guard drop. Revealing his cute doggy ears and long claws. Kagome purposely sat on her hands to stop them from tempting her to touch them. Sesshomaru was next; he didn't appear much different save for the pointed ears and hair that was actually down to his knees, not to his shoulders. Shippo was last, he was really different. His feet changed into fox like feet, he grew a long bushy tail and his ears were pointed like Sesshomaru's. Kagome couldn't hold it in anymore.

"SO CUTE!" She yelled jumping onto Shippo and immediately began petting him. Shippo spluttered for a few moments before he clamed down enough to just accept the fact he wasn't moving from Kagome's lap anytime in the near future.

"I was expecting more of a change" Sango said from her position on the bed. She smiled as did Miroku.

"Could you see through our charms?" Shippo asked as Sango just smiled.

"I was trained as a demon slayer since I was a child, I could see your charms sliding every now and again. Inuyasha's was the hardest to see through, Shippo's, no offence, wasn't very good and Sesshomaru's was just pointless." Kagome watched as Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched.

"Could anyone else see through the charms?" Rin asked.

"Yeah I could see a shadowed veil over you guys all the time, and Sesshomaru's tattoos and now and then something on Shippo's leg would shift but I thought it was my imagination" Kagome said with a shrug. Miroku nodded.

"But, Kagome. You've never had any training right?" Inuyasha asked as she nodded. He looked pensive for a moment before Sesshomaru spoke.

"Back to matters at hand, we need to get you girls dressed and tell you how to prepare for your exam" Sesshomaru closed the matter as he swept out of the room. The other males followed until the girls were left in the room alone.

"Let's get you guys dressed!" Rin said as she lay out the different clothes.

After much careful consideration and discussion about eye colour, sizes, and cleavage levels Kagome and Sango were ready to go.

Kagome was dressing in an emerald green top with black pants and dark green spandex shorts. She wore black boots that reached her knees, black fingerless gloves and dark green arm guards. Sango wore a light pink shirt with magenta splotches; the rest of her outfit was black with light pink gloves and black arm guards.

Rin clapped as the two girls looked at one another, they didn't even know who they were in these weird clothes but they did look cool.

"Now, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Shippo get to train you for your entrance exam.

Kagome paled slightly, she had never been good at exams. So many formula's and theory she had to remember, and all she knew was the trivial stuff. Sighing she resigned herself to knowing she would be a level one and everyone else with training would be miles ahead of her. Sometimes life was so unfair! Kagome followed behind the other two chatty girls as they made their way downstairs.

"Hay Kagome?" she heard Inuyasha's voice call her, she looked up realising they were already outside and in the back yard it seemed to be. Yet this place in the garden was different there were scuffs in the dirt and whole chunks missing here and there. Kagome figured it out slowly, she was in a training ground.

Crap.

She was even worse on her feet that at written exams. Screw her earlier idea; she wouldn't even get into the bloody school! Sighing she took a seat against a small overturned rock.

"Okay, everyone's here" Shippo spoke as Inuyasha pulled a large tawny sack over to the group.

"These will be a few weapons they'll train you with to start out. We'll go from there" Inuyasha said as he handed Miroku a staff, Sango something that looked like a giant boomerang and Kagome a set of daggers and a bow. Kagome looked at Miroku; he was dressed in a long deep violet robe with black pants that fit a little better than the ones she was wearing.

"Now, let's see what you can do." Sesshomaru said stepping out from the shade of the veranda. "Rin will be against Sango, Shippo against Miroku and Inuyasha will go against Kagome" He said as everyone nodded, Kagome was already getting a feeling of dread in the pit of her stomach as she looked at Inuyasha. He was dressed similarly to Miroku except his outfit was red with silver leggings, matching his hair. He didn't wear any guards though, not even tape over his hands nor any shoes.

"This is a free round, keep it clean people. Begin" Sesshomaru said as Kagome just stared at Inuyasha.

"C'mon Kagome, you're supposed to attack me." Inuyasha said as her eyes widened in fear. "Alright I'll make the fist move." He said as he was suddenly behind her. She let out a scream and dropped to the ground as Inuyasha missed his grab for her, sending him toppling arse over tea kettle into a nearby rose bush. No one seemed to notice as Inuyasha dusted himself off and turned to face her. Kagome could feel that he was watching her every move now would be a good time to run and scream… if she wasn't so rooted to the spot with fear.

"Stop!" Sesshomaru called out as he walked onto the field. "This is pathetic! You need training, not just random fights. Real training" Sesshomaru put a hand over his eyes for a minute.

"Why don't we take them to the old training field for when we were little?" Shippo suggested as Sesshomaru led the way. Now, poor Kagome was having a hell of a time trying to keep up, so many roots and branches littered the forest trail they were taking.

"You're so clumsy" Inuyasha said as he hoisted her over his shoulder and proceeded to carry her the entire way. Eventually they made it to another clearing; this one looked much more dangerous. There were logs positioned for balancing on, some were on cables in the trees there was a very deep and cold looking pond with a rope ladder over it, a climbing wall with a rope, overall it looked very much like she had just walked into boot camp. Yep, she was dead. Sesshomaru looked at everyone for a second before he started tapping his foot.

"Well, hop to it!" he said as everyone scrambled to the beginning of the course. First was hopping from one log to another, it started easy but when the gaps became two meters apart Kagome stopped.

"What are you doing! Jump!" Sesshomaru commanded as Kagome took a leap, her foot landed as did her other safely on the log. Kagome looked down, she had made it! "Move it Kagome!" He commanded again as Kagome set off at a running pace for the rope climb. Well, this was perfect Kagome sighed as she pulled herself hand over hand up the wall. The top never seemed to get any closer as she finally had to let go, dropping to the ground and landing ungracefully on her butt.

"Get up Kagome!" Sesshomaru shouted as she willed herself onto her feet. "Now climb!" He continued to yell as she managed to get to the top. Now was the glider ride to the bottom, while dodging pointy sticks that were fired at her.

NO WAY IN HELL!

Kagome looked feebly over the edge of the platform. At Sesshomaru and Inuyasha 10 meters below her (10 yards Americans)

"Move it Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted as she shook her head and leant back against the railing.

"Kagome! Well wait all night until you go down that zip line" Sesshomaru yelled. Sango Climbed onto the platform behind her, winded.

"Come on Kagome it's not so bad" She said grabbing one of the clips and attaching it to the line. "I'll show you, just swing slightly and the arrows will miss you" Sango went down, all at once arrows came out of nowhere and pinned themselves in the trees opposite Sango. At the bottom she unclipped herself.

"See Kagome! It's not so bad!" Sango shouted as Kagome clung to the side of the wall, very pale. Inuyasha was getting impatient as Sesshomaru stood as still as stone.

"KAGOME! Either you go down that thing or I swear I'll do something much worse! It would be unfortunate for your manga to have a little mud incident wouldn't it?" He shouted as Kagome shot him a dirty glare.

"You wouldn't!" she said as a smirk curved onto his lips.

"Try me!" he yelled as he continued to smirk. Kagome could feel her anger get the best of her as she stood and looked down at him.

"You wouldn't dare Inuyasha Taisho!" She snapped as he flipped her the bird.

"I already said! TRY ME!" he yelled back. Kagome was absolutely livid, she grabbed the clip and ran off of the platform, she swung like Sango said and missed the arrows. She watched as Inuyasha continued to smirk. She let go. Within a second she had landed on Inuyasha and was proceeding to beat him to death.

"You dense idiot! moron, how dare you threaten my manga!" She continued to punch him as Sesshomaru gently lifted her by the back of her uniform. She was still swinging even though she was about three feet above his face and only hitting air.

"Kagome, calm down" Inuyasha said as he sat up, a silly grin plastered to his face. She calmed but continued to pout like a child. "Look, you made it down. Now that wasn't so hard was it?" he asked as Kagome flipped him the bird and was dropped onto her butt. Inuyasha broke into a riot of laughter as Kagome stood and brushed the bracken off of her behind and marched over to the rope ladder climb. That was simple enough, like monkey bars she made it across without falling in and onto the next system that was the trees, oh no.

Kagome stood on the starting log, a harness strapped firmly around her legs. The other logs swung in perfect time, each to their own timing.

"Okay Kagome! Go!" Shippo shouted from the ground as she took a running jump onto the first log. The momentum threw her for a minute but she balanced and looked for the next log. The only way she would reach it would be to wait until the two logs were almost touching and jump. She moved to the front of the log. One, two… three! She jumped, just catching the log as it swung back the opposite direction. Now, only 7 more to go. Kagome sighed as she continued to hop skip and jump her way across the logs. That was until the last one. The last one was tricky, it didn't move and the one log she was on only came within 8 feet of the platform. There was no way she could jump that, looking around she spotted a worn branch that was halfway between the two. Taking a leap she reached for the branch, she could hear everyone's breath catch beneath her as her hands grasped the branch firmly.

Now all she had to do was swing onto the stationary log like in gymnastics. She started by swinging her lower body until she had enough momentum and jumped. The log, she found out later, had been a wee bit shorter than she had estimated as she missed the log and was going for an early retirement into the forest floor.

"SHIT!" was all she heard before she was jerked like a puppet and hung in the air. Looking down she saw Inuyasha in a harness identical to hers. His hips were thrown out as he leaned back to try to keep her from falling to her death the rope between them very taught as he slowly let out line to bring her back down to earth safely. AS soon as her feet touched ground Shippo came bounding.

"Wow Kagome! No one has ever figured out how to get to the last platform on their first try! It took even Sesshomaru 3 times to figure it out!" Shippo said as Inuyasha walked over to where they were standing. She smiled at him,

"Thanks Inuyasha, otherwise I would be a human pancake." Kagome stifled a yawn as she stretched. "So what next?" she asked since she had done the whole course. The boys exchanged glances.

"What else Kagome. We're going to so this until you gets this course down so that you can do it as fast as Inuyasha or Sesshomaru" Shippo said his cotton tail wagging slightly. Kagome felt her spirits drop as Inuyasha's grin widened.

"Fine, lead me to my demise" She said as Inuyasha jumped onto one of the balancing logs.

Today was the day she was going to die.

"C'mon Kagome" Inuyasha called. Kagome was lying on one of the swinging logs, it had started to rain over an hour ago, by then she was thoroughly soaked, cold, tired, sore and hungry. This was the ninth time she had been through the course, she was fairly good at it now but she just didn't have the speed the boys did. She could keep up to Shippo until they reached the swinging logs then she fell behind since she couldn't jump as far.

"Kagome! Are you alright?" Shippo called as she stuck a thumbs up over the side of the log. In quite all honesty she couldn't move, her body refused to even budge since she was so tired.

"Kagome finish the course and we can go inside!" Inuyasha yelled, the others had left long ago and were inside making dinner as the others trained. Kagome attempted sitting up she really did, but all she really could do was get propped onto her shoulder and fall back down. Today was not her day.

"Hey are you okay?" Shippo asked behind her, he must've climbed one of the nearby trees.

"I can't move" She let out a bark of laughter that frightened Shippo slightly as he reported back to Inuyasha.

A few seconds later the logs stopped swinging and Kagome felt herself being shuffled around. Before she knew it she was on the ground and both Inuyasha and Shippo were supporting her. They slowly made their way into the house; Kagome was out like a light snoring on Shippo's shoulder when they reached the house. Immediately she was put to bed as Inuyasha and Shippo joined everyone else downstairs in one of the made over living rooms.

"What happened?" Sango asked as both guys dropped onto the sofa, slightly muddy from the trek through the woods.

"Kagome was totally spent, she couldn't even stand. So we came back" Inuyasha said as he snatched a bottle of beer from Sesshomaru's hand.

"You're under age" Sango said as Inuyasha laughed.

"Yeah, under age. I'm 170 years old, believe me I'm not underage" Inuyasha snorted into his bottle as Miroku and Sango exchanged glances.

"How old are you guys?" Miroku asked.

"100 in about um… 6 months?" Shippo said as he took a Sprite bottle out of the mini fridge by the bar.

"229" Sesshomaru said as Rin giggled.

"I'm 110" Rin said as she leant back against Sesshomaru on the recliner. Sango and Miroku exchanged glances as they both started t o laugh.

"Wow, and I thought you guys were all like what 17, 20? Man was I wrong" Miroku said shaking his head as he stretched and lay back against the couch.

"How old are you guys anyway?" Shippo asked in mild interest as he tried to balance the pop can on its corner.

"Well, Sango here is 17 going on 18 in a month, I'm 18 and Kagome just turned 17 like what… two months ago?" Miroku said as Inuyasha choked on his beer.

"How old is Kagome?" He asked.

"Just seventeen" Miroku repeated. Inuyasha's eyebrows rose before he returned to his beer. "Why do you ask?" Miroku inquired becoming suspicious.

"I thought she was at least 18 if not going on 19, she's young. Did she skip a grade?" Inuyasha asked as Miroku shrugged.

"Started early, her mom was away a lot and she was a smart girl. So she went into school early, don't know how they allowed it but she managed it." Miroku said as Shippo finally balanced his pop can.

Inuyasha filed this information away to ask Kagome about later. But at the moment there were more pressing needs to attend to.

"We need to train Kagome harder" Inuyasha said out of the blue as Shippo knocked over his pop, Sesshomaru choked on his beer and Miroku fell off of the couch.

"Say what!" Sango snapped as Inuyasha shrugged. "Let me remind you Inuyasha who's sound asleep upstairs" She continued as Rin gave her a nod of approval.

"Look, she's no where close to as fast as you guys are, nor anywhere near the level of most humans. Right now she would get bored with the theory and get her ass kicked by demons in the field. We need to train her to our level." He said simply as Sango and Miroku exchanged looks.

"Inuyasha, we are nowhere near the level that you are." Miroku stated simply.

"Actually you are very close to Inuyasha's and Shippo's level, especially with your weapons but for Kagome I can see that she has something hidden something that refuses to be shown but I know its there. We just need to figure out the best way to get her to rouse what ever it is that refuses to be shown" Rin said as she closed the matter on Kagome's training. For the next two weeks it would be hard core training for her and everyone else in the palace.

And so the plan ensued….

Every morning Kagome would get up and go for her routine shower, in the process she had to make she no one put dye in her shampoo or could in any way ambush her like they had on the first morning. Then it was getting down stairs to breakfast without getting impaled by something pointy and very sharp. After she managed to get downstairs it was another battle to figure out which of the bowls of cereal had been poisoned, she had mastered this after the first day… choosing the wrong one was really not very pleasant. Then it was out to various training grounds where she would go over them again and again with one of the boys yelling at all three humans to move their slow asses. Then she would return for dinner, again with the poisoned food. Then it was weaponry and hand to hand combat for two hours, Kagome very impressively found out she had spiritual powers by purifying Inuyasha until he was as human as she was. Then it was a round of relaxation time before bed, and before bed she had to fend her way back upstairs. Get around the booby traps that someone had placed all over her room, check her bed for anything and more traps before going to bed.

Inuyasha reclined on a sofa downstairs as all three humans had gone to bed early in preparation of their exams tomorrow.

"So, All three of them have come along way." Rin said as Inuyasha nodded.

"Do you think they're ready?" Shippo asked as Sesshomaru leant back against his favourite recliner.

"I think they're ready, but we have a final test for them tomorrow morning. Remember school starts at 3" Sesshomaru said as Inuyasha nodded, his hair slowly going back to silver, his human ears slightly fuzzy and pointed.

"So… 3 am, they're not going to like that." Shippo said as Rin giggled.

"No, they switched it, its 3 in the afternoon silly" Rin said as Shippo rolled his eyes and took a sip of his strawberry daiquiri.

"Well, I'm tired thanks to Kagome and turning me human. Good night" HE said climbing the stairs.

Everyone in the room looked at one another.

"10 bucks says he's going to Kagome's room" Shippo said.

"you're on" Sesshomaru said as both boys slapped down 10 dollars. Rin rolled her eyes and took a sip of her cherry soda.

Upstairs…

Inuyasha had finally made it to the top floor, It was weird being human for so long at least his hearing had come back, his sense of smell was still pretty dull. He crept between Sango and Miroku's rooms and down to Kagome's. Carefully he looked for the traps he had set earlier, all were dismantled or reset so if someone came in they would get snagged. Carefully slipping between them he slipped into her room. He could hear her even breathing even from across the room as he took a step forward.

Then the room was upside down. HE cursed himself for falling for one of Kagome's own traps obviously designed from keeping anyone setting more traps in her room. She was totally unaware of him hanging by his foot, from her ceiling and trying to keep his uniform out of his face.

"Kagome" He whispered, she shifted in her sleep slightly. "Kagome" He called a little louder. "Kagome" he said as she turned over and pulled a pillow over her ears. "Kagome, I have some poptarts for you" He taunted. That woke her up.

"Hunh?" she asked as she looked around her dim room, her hair sticking up at odd angles.

"Kagome! Up here" he said as she looked up a grin crossing her face.

"Well Inuyasha, so nice of you to hang around" she said as he glared.

"hardy har har. Just get me down." He snapped as she untied the rope beside her bed. Inuyasha fell, landing on his feet as he stalked over to her bed.

" What brings you here at…" she glanced at her bedside clock. "2 am?" she asked as he shrugged and sat on the side of her bed. She shifted around so that there was enough room for him to stretch out, he did, assuming the starfish pose.

"Sesshomaru has a test for you tomorrow morning. Its not going to be easy" He stated as Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Well that's kind of obvious Inuyasha otherwise you wouldn't have of been training me so hard for the last two weeks" She said as she stretched out her legs. He nodded, a small smile crept over his lips as he turned on his side to look at her. She was staring at the ceiling, her eyes half closed as she hummed a familiar melody.

"What is that?" he asked as she smiled.

"I have no idea what its called but I used to hear it all the time as a kid. I would always walk by this big house and that melody would be playing. It was someone on a piano I think" She trailed off as her humming resumed. Inuyasha listened, in fact the melody was putting him to sleep. He smiled, as he put his head on her pillow and closed his eyes.

Kagome continued to sing until his breathing evened and he started to snore slightly, then she too lay down and closed her eyes.

Outside…

"You owe me ten bucks Sessh" Shippo said with his hand out stretched. Sesshomaru sighed and handed over the money. Rin just smiled.

"Never doubt Shippo, darling." She said as they all departed for their rooms. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
