Hi guys. This might be my only chapter for a while, I just lost a family member, and probably won't be writing. Sorry! But, here's the fifth chapter!

"I wonder how long he'll be in there?" Kikyo stood up. She knew that she still loved him. She knew it. "I guess... there's no point lying to myself anymore. It's bad enough to lie to others, but... lying to yourself?" Kikyo was ashamed of this thought. For so long she tried to let him go. Her daily taunting was the only way she could talk to him, at least with out it being awkward. "Oh well.." Kikyo sighed, and continued to walk home.

"Hey InuYasha... where's your math homework! We left it here three days ago!" laughed Kagome. Her Sango and Miroku had been here so often that the doctors had to tell them to leave when visiting hours were over. Kagome was at the hospital the most. In fact, InuYasha and Miroku were the only guys Kagome had ever just been friends with. "InuYasha seriously, you better give us the textbook back at least, our class already lost like twelve. "Ladies... I'm sure if we went back to my house.. we could find a couple things to study..." "Wow Miroku. That's pretty lecherous. Even for you." said InuYasha. Miroku laughed and said "Hey Sango... how about it? My place?"Sango looked mortified. "... are you actually asking me that!? Seriously Miroku. You pervert! Go feed yourself to a shark!" Sango stormed out of the room with Kagome hot on her heels, trying to calm her down.

"What the hell did you say that for Miroku!? Look, now Kagome's gone too!" InuYasha was pretty pissed off. "Miroku's getting worse." he thought.

"Saturday morning already?" thought Sesshomaru. "How long has he been in now... is it eight days? Maybe it's nine." Sesshomaru was currently off work, due to his boss feeling that he needed some time to be with his brother. Little did she know, Sesshomaru wasn't really one for family time. "So... what can I do today...?" he thought. For the next couple of hours Sesshomaru sat in the living room, pretending to read a book. "Alright. Now, I'm going to do something."

"Hello InuYasha." she said as she walked through the plaster covered doorway. "K...Kikyo... wha.. what are you..doing here?" he said obviously shocked. "I came to see you." she replied as she walked over to the chair near his bed and sat down. "I thought we could just ... talk." she said. "Okay.. I guess..." he said. "InuYasha, I just want to apologize for my hostility towards you. I'm sorry for all the times I've been rude to you." she said quietly. "InuYasha...I miss you."

Kagome woke up in a cold sweat. She looked around her room. It was three a.m. "I can't figure this out." she thought. "Why would I be up now..?" She got up from her bed, and walked down the hall "Something doesn't feel right." she thought.

"Hey there sexy, feel like havin' some fun?" Sesshomaru pushed the scantily clad woman away. He'd been followed by girls like this all afternoon. I guess being in a "burlesque house" wasn't exactly the best place to avoid them. "Note to self. I am never going to a strip club again." he groaned. Then, a girl wearing fishnets, bunny ears and a bushy tail walked by. "On second thought... if she's here... it can't be that bad." Sesshomaru was quite content when she walked over. "Hey there hottie... what's your fancy?" This was quite possibly the most embarrassing thing Sesshomaru had ever done, but, right now he didn't care. "Ohh, the strong silent type.. I like that." she said, as she sat in his lap...

"What the hell have I done." he felt nothing but pity. "What the hell made me do that??" InuYasha sat up. He couldn't believe how stupid he was. "I haven't thought about being with Kikyo in so long." Seeing her brought up the memories of the first night they spent together. "It was ...only a kiss right? It didn't mean anything. No. Of course it didn't. I...I don't care about Kikyo anymore." A million thoughts were running through his mind. "What about Kagome...?"

"Wow! Look at the stars..." Kagome was lying on her back in front of the tree in her yard. "I guess the sun will be up soon." she thought. "I wonder how InuYasha is. He must be lonely." she sighed. Kagome got up, and walked back inside. "I guess I'll go see him early this morning."

"Where the hell am I !?" thought Sesshomaru. "Am I in a ... trailer?" he was mortified. Suddenly, everything from last night came rushing back. "Oh...my...god." Sesshomaru rolled over, and tried to get up. "What the hell?" he was.. handcuffed to the bed. "Well hi there.. leaving already?" "...uh... who are you..?" he said confused. "Are you saying after such a ... passionate night you don't remember me?? I mean that was the best I've ever had!" "Uhhh... I'm sorry..?" "Sorry!? You're the best scrabble player I've ever met! (hah pwned I got you guys there.) "Well... I have to go...now." "Awee. Why? Can't we play one more game..?" "No, I really, really should go. Now, would you kindly remove these cuffs...?" Sesshomaru got up, and pulled his pants back on. After losing his dignity, waking up in a trailer, and being humiliated after a one night... scrabble game? He decided to go back to pretending to read.

Alrightyyy, that was a little bit confusing... also, it was a bit of a cliffy! So, I might not update for a while, but please review, so I know what I can work on.

THANKS,
