General update: All returned to normal. Almost. Shippou was out of it for the two days, driving the house crazy, mainly after he asked to bear Mirokus' child. But eventually, Shippou started to act like little annoying Shippou, and he finally fessed up that Inu and Ed didn't throw him in the trash, ending in Shippou being grounded. Inu, on the other hand, was still being treated a little harsh by some. For instance, when they came over, Kagome never let Shippou out of her sight. And Ed started to play tricks on Inu that seemed inhumane. And Inu stopped eating when Sesshomaru cooked after finding something that looked a great deal like a fish head in his food...

Okay, romance update: Sango admitted to Kagome that she liked Kouga. Which gave Kagome license to tease her for three weeks afterwords. Ayame started comming over more often, but vollenteered if Miroku needed some help. Riza told all of the girls that she and Roy were 'officially' dating. Rin started going over to Sango's more often.

Now, future notes: Hughes comes into the story soon. No, in this story, Elysia is not Hughes daughter, because he's only 19. Elysia is now his little sister, but he still acts the same about her. Yes, he will act the same when he learns Roy and Riza are going out. I'm debating whether or not to bring Gracia into the story, but it's a possibility...

Thanks to all the loyal people who keep reviewing even when I really piss you off. Writers' block SUCKS MONKEY!
