YK: Keep on me people!

Disclamer: She owns no one.

YK: Alright, so, its near summer break, that's usually when everyone updates their stories. SO! I figured that now was as good a time as any, since I have some free time, and I'm sure that there are some people out there that want me to update.

Though no one ever tells me if they do or not….

STILL IN NEED OF A BETA!! The longer it takes me to get one means the longer it'll probably take to get the chapters out, but then again, I could have a sudden epiphany and update at least once a week.

No promises, but it could happen.

Maybe.

This time:

"How about Miroku go and sleep with Kagome, seeing as their dating and all." Inuyasha gave a jerk of his head in the direction of the mentioned pair.

"There are two beds in the guest room upstairs, a hide-a-bed in the couch, and the loveseat turns into a futon." Kurama smiled, finishing what Inuyasha was saying for him.

He in turn gave an undignified snort, crossing his arms and giving a soft 'Feh'.

"Hiei and Sesshomaru can share the room, Kurama, you can take the futon, and Yusuke and I will crash on the hide-a-bed." Inuyasha said, gruffer than he intended it to sound, before Kurama had a chance to put him and his brother in the same room.

Miroku rolled his eyes as he watched everyone get their beds prepared, and with holding a laugh when he watched Yusuke and Inuyasha make their bed as if it were two; Kurama arranged pillows, and Hiei and Sesshomaru headed up the stairs to the guest room they were assigned with.

Miroku followed up the stairs soon after, assuring Yusuke and Inuyasha that they wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to cop a feel.

While Miroku disappeared into Kagome's darkened room, the lights went out all around the house, and everything went silent.

The soft whispering in Kagome's room unable to be heard past the door.

"Kagome?" Miroku's voice was soft as he changed into a pair of sleeping pants, but Kagome rolled over, facing the direction he was speaking from.

"What is it Miroku?" He climbed into the bed, brushing stray hairs out of her face as his eyes adjusted to the dark of the room.

"Are you alright?" He moved to lay his head upon one of the pillows, gently rolling Kagome onto her stomach the rest of the way.

Kagome complied without much hesitation, "I don't, "She swallowed hard, "I just don't know anymore." Her voice cracked, and she cleared her throat.

Miroku rubbed her back softly, tracing small circles with the tips of his fingers, giving her silent support.

"She's not gone, right? Please tell me that mom's still alive, and that all of this is a bad dream." Kagome's voice was pleading, almost wishing that Miroku would lie to her, make her feel better, but when his hand stilled on her back; she did her best to choke back a sob that threatened to escape her throat, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Miroku shut his eyes tightly before opening them again to stare at Kagome, wishing he could do something, anything to make her feel better, if only for a little bit; but the only thing he could offer her was a harsh reality he wished he could erase.

"She's gone Kagome; she's really gone this time."

Kagome sobbed, "I thought as much…" Her voice was heavy with the evident fact that she was holding back so she was able to talk.

He pulled her towards himself, not needing to say anything as she cried onto his shoulder quietly, the room being filled with the sound of sobs and hushed whispers, as if coming from a child.

Hiei sat in the window, listening to the conversation in the room next to them without really paying attention to the fact that he was doing so, the sobbing drawing the attention of a cat outside the building.

Sesshomaru wandered around the room, readying himself for sleep as he changed into a pair of silk pajama's that he had had in a bag that he had managed to bring with him, as well as a few other changes of clothing.

Neither said anything about the sounds coming from the room next to the one that they occupied.

Kurama stayed propped up on the mound of pillows that were on his bed, courtesy of the futon being covered in them when it was a couch; a book in his hand, a small reading light attached to the cover so he wasn't reading in the dark.

Yusuke slammed his hands down to his side, hitting the bed as he sat up in aggravation.

"We can't just let her lay up there all night, crying her eyes out." His voice was loud, making the house seem that much quieter.

Inuyasha hit Yusuke on the back of his head, having sat up not long after he broke the silence.

"Idiot, what do you suggest we do, go up there and try to hold her, tell her that everything will be alright in the morning? Yeah, as if she would believe that shit."

"The best thing for us to do right now Yusuke is just let her know that were here for her, if we try to do any more than that, it could scare her into thinking she can't talk to any of us at all. Besides, Miroku's up there to take care of her, that's what a boyfriend is supposed to do." Kurama closed his book, yet left the small light on, giving them some light to talk by.

Inuyasha 'Feh'd', "I really doubt that their dating, I heard a girl, Eri, I think her name was, say that Miroku was her cousin or some shit like that." Kurama and Yusuke turned shocked eyes towards Inuyasha, unbelieving of the facts just presented.

YK: Alright, stayed up late to type this for everyone, and, I must say, I edited what I had in the book I write in, not in a bad way, mind you, I rather like what I have here better.

BUT! Remember to review; I'm going to work on getting the rest of what I have edited, so that way you can all expect more exciting things to come!

Remember that I am in need of a beta to fix any mistake that I have made, if any, and Reviews always make the updating process faster.

I also took over Four Thieves, One Jewel by Darkened Skyes, due to her having lost interest. Please also read that once I have it posted.

Thank you, and remember that feedback is always good. REMEMBER!

Besides, i want to know that people still read this, wouldnt you want to know that too? TT ((Yes, i ramble))

And no, i cant do anything about the closeness of the wording, I've tried to fix it, believe me.
