~*~Sweet Dreams~*~

Ch. 2 A Night Of Constant Fun…

Yume blinked as Kagome tugged at something in her closet. "Do you need help?" she asked and came around the corner.

"Nope…just fine!!!!!!!!!" the last bit was more of a yell as Kagome fell over with about a billion things on top of her.

"Kagome?!" Yume started throwing things out of the way as Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha rounded the corner. They all dodged behind the wall as Yume went psycho with all the things she threw.

"Yume?!" Kagome gasped as the last thing was taken off her face and looked up at Yume with a look of deer in headlights.

"You have too much shit." Yume said stoically and everyone there just burst out into laughter. "What?!" Yume asked, confused.

"You just cursed! It was the first time I ever heard you curse!" Kagome said, giggling some.

"Oh…oh I'm sorry?" Yume asked as she looked over to the others.


"Don't apologize Yume, it's alright." Sango grinned.

"Feh." Inuyasha said with a smirk.

"Ok?"

"Yes…fair lady of raven hair and midnight eyes that cast the stars…will you--OW!" Miroku looked around and Sango shrugged as Inuyasha blinked.

"Who?" Yume looked behind Miroku to see Sesshoumaru standing there with an unamused look. "Sesshou…maru?!" she blinked and looked at him strangely.

"No girl should have to put up with his lust craves." Sesshoumaru crossed his arms and looked at Kagome, "Where is Rin?"

Rin ran into the room and tugged at Sesshoumaru's pants, "Rin don't want to go right now! Rin is playing with Shippou!" she cried and Sesshoumaru glanced at the young boy who was hiding behind Sango.

"Rin…we must go." he said.

"Why?" Kagome butted in, "I'm sorry…but why so soon? You haven't even been gone a half hour…"

"Because my meeting tonight was cancelled." he said and turned to his brother, "I have no plans tonight and therefore I will watch Rin as I promised." he said and looked back at Rin. "We must leave now…"

"Sesshoumaru?" Yume asked and stepped forward as he looked down at her short stature.

"Yes?" his mouth twitched some in annoyance.

"Maybe I'm going out on a limb, but would you like to stay?" she asked and Sesshoumaru's eyes widened, "there are 3 girls and 2 guys, and it just doesn't seem fair…" she frowned.

"Well…I can have two of you--OWWWWW" Miroku turned to see Inuyasha glare.

"Two timer!" he growled.

"Dear Miroku…" Sango cued and then slapped him, "LECH!"

"I suppose I could." Sesshoumaru said and surprised them all. "If Rin wants to stay here for longer, it is fine. I will stay and watch her like I said I would." he nodded and saw Rin's smile as she ran back to Shippou.

"Rin can stay!" she squealed as Shippou and her walked back into Souta's room and played some more.

"That's great." Yume smiled warmly, "It will be nice not being the odd one out." she took Sesshoumaru's hand and led him to the couch where they had snacks galore and sodas all over the place.

Sesshoumaru thought and pondered over her words, 'It will be nice not being the odd one out…' he shook his head. So many times he had felt that way…now he could share the feeling…but with someone.

"What should we play?!" Kagome grinned and pulled out all kinds of games.

"Dunno…" Yume shrugged and stared at everyone, "Any suggestions?" she asked and shrugs were around the world.

"Well that's not helping us in this situation." Kagome sighed.

Sango was in the middle of beating Miroku to a bloody pulp as she looked up, "How bout…truth or dare…"

"Or we could play spin the bot-OW!" Miroku was caught in the middle of his words by Sango twisting his arm behind his back.

"What was that?!"

"OW OW OW OW OW OW OW!!!!!" was his answer.

"That's what I thought!" Sango smirked as she let go and straightened herself into a standing position.

Yume just blinked as Kagome rolled her eyes. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were casting death glares at each other. "What about the brothers?" Yume asked and they both snapped their heads up in confusion. "Do you have any suggestions?" she asked.

"Feh." Inuyasha crossed his arms, which was a definite sign of 'no.'

"I do not play games." Sesshoumaru glared at Inuyasha.

"Ok…" Yume sighed and thought a moment, "How about charades?" she asked.

Kagome beamed as Sango sighed, "The last time we played charades, Miroku pretended to be something that he'd NEVER be in ANY lifetime." Sango shook her head.

"What was he pretending to be?" Yume asked.

"An innocent child." Kagome and Sango both said in unison and laughed afterwards.

"Oh boy." Yume sighed and shrugged, "But why don't we play? It could be fun this time."

"Oh, it was fun last time, it's just a bit ironic that Miroku would be like that." Sango grinned.

"Ironic is an understatement." Kagome said and smiled.

"I bet it is." Yume nodded.

"Everyone agree on charades?" Kagome looked around and Natasha 'fehed,' Sesshoumaru glared, Miroku smiled and nodded, Sango beamed, and Yume blinked.

"I suggested it, why wouldn't I be?" Yume joked.

"True." Kagome grinned and pulled out the charade box and set it on the floor. "Gather around, people." she grinned and stared at Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru, "Well?!"

Inuyasha got up and plopped down on the floor by Kagome as Miroku sat on the other side of him. Sango sat by Miroku and Yume sat by her, then stared at Sesshoumaru, "Aren't you gonna join?"

"I said I do not play games." he said firmly.

"What are you going to do then, watch?" she said disbelievingly.

"Yes."

"Come on!" Kagome smiled, "Join us."

"Why should I?" he asked.

"Because it isn't a game!" Yume shook her head.

"Then what would you call it?" Sesshoumaru prodded.

"I would call it a way to have fun." Yume crossed her arms.

"I do not have fun."

"No shit." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and Kagome hit him over the head.

"Be nice." Kagome scowled.

"Feh."

"I guess that means your afraid to?" Yume dared and got wide-eyed glances from everybody as Sesshoumaru's eye twitched.

"I am not afraid." he said with a icy tone.

"Coward." she muttered under her breath and he got up and sat by her, crossed his arms.

"I am no coward either." he shot back and she gasped.

"I didn't think you heard me…" she blinked, "How did you?"

"Maybe we should tell her, Kagome?" Sango whispered.

"Feh, might as well." Inuyasha shrugged.

"Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha are not just regular humans…"

"Kagome." Sesshoumaru glared and she shut up.

"No one is." Yume shrugged.

"What do you mean?" Sango asked.

"If we were regular, there would be no fun in life. Everyone needs flaws or else this world would be boring." she smirked and opened the charades box. "Shall we begin?" she asked.

"Sure…" Kagome dared to speak, and when Sesshoumaru didn't say anything, she picked up a card. "Oh boy…" she sighed and stood up.

She stretched one arm out and had her other arm bent back in the opposite direction. She slanted her arms up and looked at everyone to answer.

"A mythical God?" Yume blinked.

Kagome shook her head and opened her fingers slightly on her bent arm.

"A groper?" Miroku asked with a grin that was wiped off as Sango hit him over the head.

"That's you." Sango glared.

Kagome sighed and spread her legs apart in a stance and looked at them.

"An archer." Sesshoumaru said stoically.

"Thank you!" Kagome breathed out and sat down.

"Point for Sesshoumaru." Sango grinned.

"Are we really going by points?" Yume asked.

"No. They don't count." she grinned and Yume sighed.

"Ok, Inuyasha, go on." Kagome said as Inuyasha picked up a card and growled.

He thought for a moment and then nodded, getting up into a position where he was on all fours, he stared at them.

Yume quirked her head to the side and squinted her eyes as Kagome blinked. Sango scratched her head and Miroku shook his head. Sesshoumaru lifted a brow.

"Bark." Inuyasha said in an unamused face.

"A dog!" Kagome pointed and Inuyasha got back into sitting position.

"I hate this." Inuyasha growled again.

"Ok…?" Yume shook her head and looked at Miroku, "Well?"

"Now dream girl, don't get hasty." he smiled and picked up a card and read it, smiling.

"This is scary." Sango whispered to Yume and she giggled as Miroku looked around for something.

"Are you a…rescue searcher?" Yume blinked.

"I haven't started yet." he sighed and saw a hat stand, grabbed it and held it in one hand. His other hand was arranged so that his ring and pinky finger were folded while the other two and thumb were straight up. He closed his eyes and waited.

"I got it! A circus freak!" Inuyasha cheered and they all but Sesshoumaru busted out laughing as Miroku opened his eyes to glare.

"Hmmm…" Sango thought for a moment and then spoke up, "A priest?"

Miroku waved his free hand around some indicating for them to be more specific.

"A monk." Sango said in disbelief and he nodded, placing the hat stand back in the corner and sat down next to Sango. He leaned closer to her.

"I'm glad you were the one who thinks so highly of me-OW!" Miroku rubbed his head as Yume glared. "What I do to you?!"

"That's for calling me 'dream girl' earlier." Yume said.

"Oh…" Miroku grinned and his hand started to drift to Sango's rear as she hit him upside the head.

"LECH!"

"I think he will be getting brain damage soon…" Yume sighed.

"Too late for that." Kagome said dryly.

Yume smiled as Sango picked up the card on top and kicked Miroku.

"What I do now?!" Miroku said. "I haven't even done anything!"

"Yet." Inuyasha smirked.

"Why do I get the hard ones?!" Sango exclaimed and then looked around for anything to use and then her eyes set on Inuyasha.

"What?" he asked and she smirked.

"This should be good." Kagome grinned as Sango stepped up behind him and made an action like she was bashing him over the head.

"Um…headbanger?" Yume asked, confused.

"No…" Miroku said and lifted a brow, "Killer?"

Sango shook her hand and then cleared her throat as she pointed to Inuyasha.

"Demon?" Kagome asked and Yume's eyes were in such a whirl, you'd think she was a demon high on ink.

Sango nodded and waited for another answer.

Miroku sighed, "I have no idea…"

Sango walked into the kitchen, reached under the sink and got some bug spray and looked for the word. She pointed to the word she was looking for and they all read it.

"Extermination…" Kagome blinked.

Sango nodded and waited more.

"Demon extermination…" Miroku blinked.

"Close enough." Sango sighed and put the bug spray back and came back into the circle.

"What was it?" Yume asked.

"Demon exterminator." Sango sighed.

"Oh…but why'd you use Inuyasha?" Yume asked.

Sango went silent and handed her a card, "No reason…it's his nickname, right guys?!" she laughed nervously as the others nodded quickly.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes and Yume read her card. "Well that's just scary." she thought a moment about how to act it out.

She sighed and got up and pointed up to the ceiling.

"A ceiling?!" Sango spoke up and Yume shook her head.

Yume looked around and saw a picture of a bird hanging on the wall. She pointed to the wings and Kagome quirked her head. "Bird?"

Yume shook her head and looked around all over the place and sighed. She pointed to her head and made a circular motion with it.

"Ring?" Miroku asked and Yume fell over and shook her head as she got up in a sitting position again and looked for an answer from Kagome or Inuyasha who just shrugged.

She turned to Sesshoumaru and didn't think he'd say anything but when he did she almost leaped up in joy that he got it right.

He looked at her and for a moment he was lost in thought and said 'Angel' out of nowhere.

When she spoke, he blinked in confusion. "You're right!" she beamed and set the card down. "Thank bunnies! I didn't want to confuse you but I couldn't determine how to describe it." she sighed.

"I have a book of all kinds of different angels." Kagome pointed to the bookshelf and Yume glared.

"Well, if I knew that, I would have used it."

"Sorry." Kagome said and smiled. "Now you know."

"Yea yea, your turn, Sesshoumaru." Yume looked over at his dazed expression and snapped her fingers in his face, "Hello?!"

He blinked and stared at them in his usual stoic way and picked up a card. He sighed, walked out to his truck and searched through it.

"Think he got a hard one and is leaving?" Yume asked.

"Nah…if anything that me and him have in common, it's a challenge." Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Him and I." Kagome said.

"What?" Inuyasha blinked.

"Him and I is appropriate grammar."

"You learn too much from school." Inuyasha growled.

"You're supposed to." Kagome grinned.

Yume giggled and they all looked at her, "What's so funny?" Sango asked.

"I once read that 'age brings wisdom and age brings death, therefore, wisdom is dangerous.'" she smirked.

They all smiled/smirked and looked at the door as Sesshoumaru walked in with a sword. Yume paled as he unsheathed it. "Uh…swordsman?" she asked and he nodded, sheathing the sword and setting it down on the floor beside him.

Yume blinked and let out a breath that felt like it was in her for longer than a century.

"I was not going to kill you with it." he growled and looked around, obviously bored.

"Sorry, it was just an impulse. Sharp pointy things usually lead to ouchies." she grinned.

Sesshoumaru shook his head and looked around. "Is this really what you call fun?" he asked.

"Uh…kinda?" Sango said and then thought a moment, "Since Kagome has a library of movies, should we watch some?" she asked.

Yume beamed, "What kinds do you have?!"

"I have a little of everything." Kagome shrugged.

"Comedy, Horror, Drama, Suspense…" Miroku counted on his fingers and Sango rolled her eyes.

"How bout comedy?" Sango asked.

"Or suspense." Kagome shrugged.

"Horror." everyone looked at Inuyasha. "What?"

"Horror sounds good." Yume grinned.

"Spooky stuff at night with all the lights off…I'm in!" Sango smiled.

"That means when a scary part comes up, she's gonna be klinging to me…oh yea, count me." Miroku beamed.

THUD


SMACK

WHACK

THUNK

Miroku was on the floor in a condition that if any worse, he would have been dismembered.

"Well, what do you say?" Kagome looked around and they all nodded. Sesshoumaru shrugged and got up, sitting on the couch as the others followed suit.

Kagome and Inuyasha sat on the sofa as Yume and Miroku sat on the couch with Sesshoumaru. Sango put the movie in and sat on the recliner.

"Perhaps I should get up so Sango can sit here…" Yume smiled.

"No, that's alright." Sango smiled, "Really…" she said as she sat back and it turned on the movie: "Rose Red" (Whoo! I do not own Rose Red, it is the property of Stephen King and has an odd way of being spooked out!…But I think it's spooky!)
