A/N: Two next stories will be MirSan. I wasn't too productive as of late, but I have a bunch of started chapters for Barks, so hopefully I'll finish them.


Trick-Tock


It was the evening of the second day of Kagome's stay in the Modern Era. It was known to all members of the gang the girl was bound to come back (or be dragged back) the next morning.

Everyone was preparing for the next day - knowing Inuyasha they were going to leave for the hunt as soon as possible. Sango finished packing her gear, Miroku stashed all his sacred papers, Kaede prepared a small bag of herbs for them to take as a feudal first aid kit. Even Inuyasha partook in preparations - by sharpening Tessaiga and cutting firewood for Kaede to use while they were gone. He finally came back inside Kaede's hut when it was almost dark, still annoyed at Shippou. who had been pranking him mercilessly since this morning.

"I want to wake up early to go to the well and wait for Kagome," said Shippou as he curled in a ball in his corner. He glared at Inuyasha. "If the baka goes to meet her at the well she might just jump back."

"Shut up!" Inuyasha growled and walked out of the hut, followed by some giggles from the rest of the gang. The hanyou spent an hour sulking on his sulking branch before a wicked idea came to his mind. With a stealth and speed of a predator he ran to the well, jumped through time and found himself in Kagome's room in a matter of minutes.

One sniff made him realize the miko was downstairs, probably enjoying dinner with her family. Inuyasha looked around and after a minute exited the room through the window.

Chuckling in his mind the hanyou entered the hut where everyone was already asleep. He came close to Shippou and put an object he was holding near the sleeping kid. When he returned to Kagome's time he found the girl kneeling beside her bed and looking under it.

"What's wrong?" he asked when she looked up to him.

"I can't find my alarm clock," she explained.

"Don't worry about it, I'll wake up up when it's time to go," he assured her with a wide smirk.

And he did just that - the next morning he patted Kagome's shoulder and made sure she was awake before leaving her room to let hr change. He almost could hear the blasted contraption going off in Kaede's hut, right beside the runt's ear.

A/N: We always see Shippou pranking Inu, here I decided to reverse the roles. And I'm pretty sure Inuyasha was sat after Kagome learned that he had taken her alarm clock to prank the feudal crew.
