Recap: Kagome woke up with a start. What was that noise? It sounded like it was coming from her brother's room. Quietly, she rose from her bed, unlocked her door, and slipped noiselessly into the hallway. She walked down the hall and paused outside of Souta's room. The noise was definitely coming from inside.

Cautiously, she peered inside. Mentally, she prepared her lecture about making this much noise after everyone had gone to bed. However, she was not prepared for the sight that met her eyes. A red clad stranger was in her brother's room.

Beware of Pixie Dust

Chapter 2

Kagome stood by the door and stared at the male in her brother's room. With his hip length silver hair and his adorable puppy ears, she would have recognized InuYasha anywhere. He filled her stories and many of her childhood dreams. He was what legends and bedtime stories were made of, yet she had never expected to see him. Now he was here in her brother's room, but what in the world was he doing?

Kagome watched as he flew gracefully from one side of the room to the other. Kagome's eyes followed his movements; he appeared to be stalking something. A flicker of motion caught her eye; there was a second figure in her brother's room. The figure was shaped just like InuYasha, but he lacked color and a third dimension. Kagome giggled to herself once she realized what was going on...

The boy had lost his shadow.

So caught up was she in the chase, that she failed to notice that she was being joined in the hallway by two other figures.

"Kagome, what is going—?" Sango began, only to have her words cut off as Kagome's hand covered her mouth.

Miroku stepped up behind the two girls and looked over their shoulders into the room. Then Sango and Miroku stood with baited breath and tense muscles as they too were caught up in the chase and the wonderment of the whole occurrence.

Finally, InuYasha cornered his shadow and took a firm hold on it. Then he looked down at the squirming shadow in his hand. "What am I supposed to do with it now?" he asked.

Kagome opened her mouth to answer, but quickly closed it when she realized he was not speaking to her. He was looking over his shoulder to the golden fairy in flight directly above him. The tiny winged figure was dressed in a form flattering lime green kimono that was embroidered with tiny gold flowers. When she looked down at InuYasha, Kagome could see her brilliant red eyes. Immediately, Kagome recognized her. It was Kagura.

Kagome watched as Kagura rolled her tiny eyes and pantomimed sewing.

InuYasha snorted, "Of course, I knew that."

Kagome decided that this was a good time to step in—especially considering Miroku had already walked in ahead of her and was rapidly approaching the tiny fairy.

Kagome stepped through the doorway and approached InuYasha slowly, almost as if she was afraid that he was an illusion instead of a dream come to life. Miroku, however, had no qualms about walking right up to the hovering fair—just because she was a dream come to life.

Rapidly, Miroku closed in on the object of his desires. Unfortunately for Kagura, she had flown away from InuYasha and now stood primping in front of a small mirror on Souta's dresser. Kagura gave an inaudible gasp as the monk's reflection came into view behind her. She tried to fly but was hindered by the hand that now held one of her tiny wings.

Miroku smiled down at the tiny fairy. "Now that we are closer, Miss, I can see that you truly are a beautiful woman; however, you are a bit small," Miroku shrugged, "but why not?"

He took a deep breath and used his free hand to grasp one of her tiny hands in his. "Lovely vision, will you do me the honor of bearing my child?"

Kagura's eyes widened in horror, and she renewed her struggles to free herself from Miroku's grasp. Abruptly she was dropped. Unprepared for the sudden freedom, she fell into one of Souta's partially opened drawers— that would have been fine had the drawer not shut behind her. The old-fashioned drawer had a small keyhole, and Kagura flew to the tiny hole and glanced out. She was surprised when she saw her rescuer. A woman clad in a long cotton nightgown was dragging her captor away by the back of his neck. Kagura breathed a small sigh of relief as she saw him exit the room.

Meanwhile, Kagome had cornered InuYasha. Inwardly, the boy cursed at himself for not paying more attention earlier. The girl he knew to be Kagome took a step towards him. He took a step back and almost tripped over something on the floor. She took another step forward and he leaped backwards only to be met with one of the bedroom walls. The girl inched forward once more. He cringed as she stepped right up next to him and reached out.

'What is this girl doing?' he thought.

His question was soon answered as he felt her gentle fingers stroke his ears. Ignoring the pleasing feeling of his ears being rubbed, he growled lightly.

Kagome jumped when she heard him growl and looked sheepishly away. "I'm sorry; I just had to do that."

"Keh," he huffed. "Is that all you were chasing me for?

Kagome's face flushed. "I'm wasn't chasing you; this is my house, you know. What are you doing here anyway?" she said, clearly embarrassed.

He crossed his arms and huffed, "What does it look like I'm doing?" He held up the shadow that he grasped in his hand. "I came to get my shadow." He winced as he saw momentary hurt cross her features at his sarcastic tone. "It's not like I was breaking in," he mumbled.

They stood there in silence for a few moments. Then Kagome spoke.

"Well, are you going to sew it?"

InuYasha looked up at her quizzically, "Sew what?"

Kagome sighed, "Your shadow— if you would like, I could sew your shadow for you."

InuYasha blinked in surprise. Now that she mentioned it, maybe the girl had some use after all.

He looked at her skeptically, "Are you sure you know how to do that?"

Kagome's eyes narrowed in anger. The hero of her fairy tales was rapidly loosing his fairy tale quality.

"I believe I can manage it."

InuYasha watched as Kagome wandered out of the room. Then almost immediately, she was back with a needle and some thread. She motioned for him to sit down. He sat and watched as she picked up the needle and bit her lip in concentration as she attempted to thread it. He watched fascinated as she nimbly put the thread through the eye of the needle and picked up his shoe. His fascination was short lived, and ended just as soon as she opened her mouth. Inwardly, he cringed as she began to incessantly chatter.

"I'll just sew your shadow to your shoe so you won't loose it. I've actually been sewing for years. My great-grandmother was an excellent…" InuYasha's mind turned off at this point.

He huffed again and mumbled, "Do you ever shut up?"

Kagome happily put the needle through the bottom of his shoe, "And she said that I--"

InuYasha's words startled her out of her happy reverie. She narrowed her eyes at him and continued to sew. "Are you always this rude?"

He glared at her, "I asked the question first."

She matched his glare, but refused to answer.

InuYasha winced in pain as the needle went through the bottom of his shoe and pricked the soft part of his foot. "HEY! What was that for?"

"I was just thinking that if I sewed your shadow to your foot then you won't have to worry about losing it again," she said cheerily.

He glared down at her. Then his look changed to one of skepticism. "Surely, you are not that stupid."

She mumbled, "So says the idiot who left his foot in the shoe that I was sewing."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miroku and Sango came back into the room. (Miroku though was in slightly worse shape than when he had left.) Sango glanced over to where her brother and his friend were sleeping. She sighed in relief. Those two could sleep through anything.

Sango and Miroku turned and watched as Kagome and InuYasha verbally sparred. Sango gazed angrily at the red clad boy as he continued to insult her friend. She made a move to step forward, but was held back by Miroku's hand. She looked up at him questioningly. He responded by nodding in Kagome's direction and holding his finger to his lips in a request for silence. She nodded and turned back to watch. She giggled as she saw InuYasha wince in pain from the needle as it "accidentally" weaved into his foot. The ludicrous nature of the situation hit her full blast and she laughed quietly to herself.

She whispered to Miroku, "He's over a hundred years old and has not grown up enough to keep up with his own shadow."

A deep growl rumbled out of InuYasha's throat. "I heard that!"

Miroku's eyes lit up in quiet laughter and he gazed down at the woman beside him. Fondly, he reached over to touch her and show his appreciation for her sense of humor. However, he realized that his appreciation was unwanted as Sango's fist connected with the side of his jaw. Shimmering stars encased his field of vision, and he stumbled over to a wall and leaned against it for support. The golden gleam of the stars reminded him of something. That's right—the little fairy had been surrounded by gold as well. Happily, he smiled and took a wobbly step forward. Now if he could just find that fairy. He searched the room and in the far corner, he spotted a small gleam of light peeking out from Souta's top drawer.

"I wonder…," he whispered to himself.

Kagura had managed to get the top half of her body through the keyhole, but she now struggled to fit her hips through. Finally, she realized that she was stuck. Frustrated, she closed her eyes and noiselessly pounded her tiny fists into the wooden front of the drawer. Finally, she brought her eyes up to land on… the monk.

Her eyes widened... and she found that she was not so stuck after all.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

InuYasha stood and tested the the girl's needle work. Grudgingly, he admitted to himself that she had done a fine job, but he would be fatally wounded before he would ever tell her that.

"I guess it will work until I get someone who actually knows how to sew to do it."

Kagome glared down at him. She was going to find a new set of bedtime stories for Souta.

He flew away from her and landed on the window ledge, where he had first entered the home. He stood there and groaned in annoyance as he realized that Kagura was missing. Quickly, he turned he face back around and scanned the room. Noticing, a small glimmer of light, he walked towards it. A tall male was in his way, but he pushed him aside and opened the dresser drawer.

He glared down into the drawer, "Kagura, would you stop messing around. We need to get back. We've wasted enough time already tonight."

Kagura glared back up at him and began to shake her fist threateningly at his face. InuYasha did not even seem to notice.

Kagome finally had enough. How dare he just walk away without even a thank you. She decided to pay him back for his rudeness. She marched past InuYasha, and stood by the two sleeping boys.

Suddenly, she grabbed their blankets, jerked them off, and screamed, "Pirates!"

Her plan worked far better than she had thought it would. Not only had the boys rocketed out of the bed, but InuYasha had jumped a foot in the air while pulling out his sword and preparing to do battle.

Upon seeing their hero, Souta and Kohaku flew out of the bed and immediately latched on to InuYasha and his sword. InuYasha sputtered as the boys pounded him with questions and stories.

Finally, Kagome hushed them. InuYasha sighed with relief. Finally, the girl was using her head.

Kagome continued, "You can ask him all this later."

InuYasha eyes widened. What had she just said?

"Later?" Kohaku asked.

Kagome nodded. "Of course," she inclined her head towards InuYasha. "You can ask him on the way to Neverland."

The boys shouted in excitement, and InuYasha paled.

Revenge was sweet.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ON THE WAY TO NEVERLAND?!" InuYasha yelled.

Kagome looked over at him. "Surely, you are going to take us with you after I was kind enough to help."

InuYasha started to stutter, "I—Well, you didn't really..."

Smoothly Kagome interrupted him. "Besides," she pointed to InuYasha's two adoring fans, "you wouldn't want to disappoint them would you?"

He looked down into the boy's pleading expressions, and knew it was a lost cause. He crossed his arms over his chest and haughtily asked, "And what do I get out of the deal, if I take you?'

"Hmm..." Kagome tapped the bottom of her chin in thought. "I think I'll give you," she paused a moment and smiled as the answer came to her, "a kiss."

I do accept anonymous reviews, so if you like the story, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider leaving a review. A quick "please update" will be just fine—though I most definitely enjoy the longer reviews as well. I welcome ideas, so if you have one let me know, and I will consider it.

I do realize that InuYasha does not wear shoes... he does now.

This will probably be the last update until after Thanksgiving.

Thanks!
