The seven some (Kagome, InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Apolla) sat in the levitating bubble that Apolla made as she whisked them all safely back to Shikon Private School... before midnight, amazing really. As they headed back to their tents, no one noticed anything at all that was unusual when going to their tents, possibly because it was pitch-black, possibly because they were all dead-drop tired.

If it had been morning though, and they were all well-rested and 'cheerful,' at least one of them might have noticed that a HUMUNGOUS, grotesque, black shadow had filled up most of the sky around Shikon Private School. But, it was near midnight and all of them were dead tired grumpy so no one even bothered to glance up at the sky as they flopped down onto their beds... not noticing that the 'bed' was actually grassand dirt... most of them were out cold before they hit the ground. Some of them for other reasons than most... (cough Miroku cough) Apolla raised an eyebrow at the five sleeping kids on the lawn and thought to herself, 'Reminder for the rest of life: Never, ever, ever, ever, ever listen to your twin sister's begging about having no suitable substitute to teach her class, even if her life depends on it; after all, she is very tricky! Why? Most, or all, of her students have sleeping disorders and other... strange things...' Apolla reminded herself as she sleepily strode back to Artemis' room, that she still had not found out what spell caused the word 'SIT,' to make InuYasha plummet to the ground. She made another mental note that when she came upon the spell, she should fasten it on all of the students. (Imagine- "SIT!" and EVERYONE in the entire school plummets to the ground, she decided to spare her sister... after all, Artemis would probably just enjoy it and learn MORE earthen spells to help her hopeless garden. As she reached the door, an image of her older twin's garden flashed into her mind, needless to say, it was not pleasant.

In the very, very beginning, when the seeds were just beginning to sprout, it looked beautiful... that was about five years ago. Then, when the flowers, shrubs, and trees began to sprout, Artemis had, at the last minute, recalled that she forgot to read the packaging labels... and the poor garden was all mixed up. The flowers were hidden by shrubs which were getting tangled up with the baby maple trees, and the rose trees seemed to grow soooo slow, the flowers covered them up. But, as usual, Artemis didn't despair, instead, she learned some very (non) useful earthen spells that she thought would help her pitiful garden. A pity she didn't read the fine print at the bottom of the book pages, it stated that the spells could only be used after an earthquake. And so, Artemis had attempted to do the spells. If she did them correctly, nothing would have happened,but she did them utmostly wrong. Apolla shuddered as she flopped onto her twin's silk-sheeted bed. At least she had good taste in beds. The garden was a NIGHTMARE, to put it in the kindest, most respectful person's words. Most of the plants were uprooted and water was drowning the rest that didn't. The very few that survived, somehow became animate creatures and rampaged the house that they lived in with their mother and father, after they had successfully destroyed the house, they moved onto the nice neighborhood and destroyed eveything there too. She groaned when she remebered how much trouble the family had went through to disemfigure the trees, clean up the neighborhood, and erase everyone's memories that that had ever happened. After that 'incident,' you would have expected Artemis to give up gardening and take up a different hobby, but obviously, Artemis stuck to it like glue and refused to do anything else, even going to the point that she threatened to set SilverShivvers and GoldenClaws (the tiger) out into the neighborhood and wreck havoc if Mother did not return her gardening materials in five minutes. Quite obviously, Mother had no choice but to reluctantly return Artemis' gardening supplies while grumbling about spoiled brats and their hobbies.

Apolla fell asleep quickly, still trying to figure out what kind of spell did Kagome use to make InuYasha plummet to the ground like that.

Meanwhile...

Sesshomaru was just staring boredly at the sleeping figures in the grass, glad that he was not so tired at all, after all, HE was a purebreed demon lord, brought up with the most care by his two strict parents and soon to inherit the Western Lands, all to himself. Heturned around and walked away- not noticing the great, black shadow in the sky- and taking great care to 'accidentally' step on his 'beloved little half-brother's face.' Repeatedly. He turned his heel and walked calmly to his tent.

Night passed without much happenings at all, spare for InuYasha muttering in his sleep about 'BEEPING Sesshomaru' and Sango slapping Miroku silly.

-The Next Morning!-

"Yawn-----"Kagome said as she stretched and prepared tp wash her face. She was utterly surprised that when she splashed cold 'water' on her face, it was dirty.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed as she realized she had just poured mud on her face, her high pitched scream woke all the other four people. Sango woke up, not knowing that she was sleeping in mud and grass, and saw Kagome's rather scary face.

"KAAAAAAGOOOOOOMEEEEEEEE!" Sango screamed, looking for her friend and tring not to look at the... the...mud covered person.

"Sango- you idiot, THAT'S MEEEE!" Kagome screamed rather loudly, hurt that her best friend since third grade did not recognize her. She gingerly rubbed away the mud on her face to show the terrified demon slayer that she indeed was Kagome. Sango sighed with relief; she had thought Kagome had been some sort of monster.

"Ummm... Kagome, how come you washed your face with dirt?"

"Hmmm... I dunno, normally, my sink has water in it..."

"Your sink...?" Both girls turned around and stared at where Kagome's sink should have been... needless to say, it was not there. They silently stared at that gap for a while, then, they looked up, thinking to see Kagome's blue tent cover... not there. The two simutaneously turned to where the closet was... not there. Realization began to sink into them. They had slept outside... on the ground.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the two of them simutaneously screamed, waking everyone else up in the process too.

"Huh?"

"Zzzzzz... wha...?"

"AIEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm Sleeping in the DIRT!" Rin shrieked as she woke up with her beautiful, soft, silky, hair covered with bits of dirt and grass.

"Yup, Rin, I guess (blush) we were all too sleepy last night..." Kagome said as she offered a helping hand to Rin. Rin took it gratefully and the three girls got up and brushedthemselves off. Meanwhile, InuYasha discovered he had strange footprints all over him... as if someone (cough Sesshomaru cough) had trampled over him! He smelled his beeeeep half-brother's scent. He made a mental note to get revenge.

SLAP!

"You disgusting CREEP!" Sango shrieked as she beat her already black and blue friend, letting him meet his newest bestest friend- DIRT! Formerly Koga's bestest friend, and before that, InuYasha's.

"Kikyo! Oh my, how you've grown, I've got great news to tell you!"- said the tall black cloaked man- "You're engaged to my son, Naraku!" he said as he kissed her cheek. Kagome froze, she didn't even know the man! InuYasha paled and got ready to kill the man in sheer fury.

"F-Father...? Why are you here?" Naraku said rather angrily, after all, his father was always, always, always, the bringer of bad news.

"Ah! my son, I, Onigumo, King of Bandits, am proud to tell you that you are now engaged to Kikyo!" the man called Onigumo said happily as Naraku froze too. It seemed like her wanted to turn into dust and just blow away. Everyone else froze too, HE was the King of theives? Naraku's father?

"OH! Onigumo! You've come back!" Kikyo said happily as she ran to embrace him; at this point, Naraku really did turn to dust and just blow away in the wind; Kikyo knew her father? This could not be a good thing.

"Wait, why are there two Kikyos?" Onigumo said looking from the frozen Kagome to the cheerful Kikyo.

"That... girl," -Kikyo spat disgustingly- "Is Kagome, I'm Kikyo. So, why have you come back? Have Father and Morther asked you to send a gift to me?" she asked happily.

"Nope! (smirks) I'm here to tell you that you are engaged to my son, Naraku! Your parents agreed whole heartedly, and we all know what that means! More land and more wealth for all of us! Aren't you happy, Kikyo sweetie?" Onigumo said to the fainted Kikyo. he somehow did not notice that she had fainted and walked away happily, leaving a rather frozen five students, a fainted Kikyo, and Naraku's dust. Basically, it was mayhem, pure and true.

Suddenly, a paler than usual Sesshomaru walked through and in his bad mood, punched InuYasha smack in the face.

"Hey! What the beeeeeeeeeep was that for beeeeeeeeeeep?" Inuyasha said angrily, as blood trickled down his chin.

"If you had half a brain cell, you would know that Father is coming, so get ready. He's bringing the twins along because what your pathetic human mother said." he spat at InuYasha as he made is way to the fountain to wash up, after all, he would be punished by his Father if he did not.

InuYasha meanwhile, had paled too, and quickly ran after Sesshomaru, ignoring his rude remark about his mother, after all, his Father and the terrible twins were coming... that was like the desert compared to a grain of sand...
