What are Friends For?

"Well look who decided to show up." a dark figure said as Kikyo stepped inside her room. "I told you it was useless, there's no way to get the jewel now. Not with that half-demon protecting her."

"Chill baby," she said as she moved towards him, "we'll get the jewel, and her."

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

Kagome woke up the next day to her alarm. 'It's 7 A.M. on a Saturday morning,' she thought to herself, 'so why am I forced to do chores?' She sat up instantly missing the warmth of her bed as she slipped out to take a shower. The entire time complaining about how only Buddha should be awake at this hour.

As she made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen she was greeted by the smell of bacon and coffee. She made her way to the cupboard and grabbed a mug. As she poured her coffee and took a couple bacon strips, her mother smiled at her.

"I see your still not a morning person," her mother said in a very pleased kind of tone.

"Really, what gave you the hint?" Kagome said as she gestured to her bathrobe and coffee cup.

"I wasn't talking to you dear," Korari pointed at something behind Kagome. As she turned around she was surprised to see non-other then Inuyasha standing there in a red muscle shirt and grey sweat pants. Before Kagome could say anything her mother spoke again, "Well I have to wake up Sota so I'll just leave you two to your chores. Charts on the table dear." With that she ran up the stairs.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Kagome was the first to speak, with a confused expression.

Inuyasha who looked just as confused answered, "I'm not sure, all I remember is my alarm going off and Sesshy shoving me out the door telling me to come here."

She laughed a little, then noticed Inuyasha was looking at her funny. "Sorry, I just find it funny that my mom and your brother are still pulling crap like this."

All of a sudden his face turned from confused to realization to amusement. He laughed a little too, "I wonder who's idea it was this time."

"Probably Mom's." Kagome said as she calmed down. It was just then Kagome realized what she was wearing. She started to blush, "Crap I forgot I was in my bathrobe," she mumbled forgetting Inuyasha could still hear her due to his hanyou ears. "I'll be right back, make yourself at home." she said as she quickly ran up the stairs.

"Don't mind if I do," he said as he grabbed a mug and poured himself a cup of coffee. After a quickly downed it he walked into the living room and watch the news until Kagome came back in light black tank top and forest green sweat pants.

"Ready?" she asked in a slightly perky tone.

"Sure, what do we have to do?"

"I'm not sure lets check the chart." they made there way into the kitchen and looked at their list of things to do. "Well it looks like all we have to do is sweep the shrine steps, pick weeds around the Goshinboku,..and wash my mom's car?!" Kagome stare at the list like it was the strangest thing on Earth, "Ok…anyway we better get started if we want to get these done in time for lunch."

"Yeah your right come on lets start with sweeping the steps since it's still a little to cold for the others."

"Ok let me go get the brooms from the closet," she walked over to the closet and grabbed two wooden brooms. "Ok lets go," she said as she handed one to Inuyasha.

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

"Finally!" Kagome yelled, "We're almost done!"

"Yeah all we have to do now is wash your mom's car." Inuyasha said as he came up behind her. He was a little sweaty from pick the weeds in the hot sun. "and just in time too I could use a little cool down."

"Same here." She said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. "Come on lets go get the buckets, soap, and brushes."

"K." Inuyasha followed her into the house to retrieve the items they need from under the sink. Soon afterwards they filled the buckets with water and soap, and started to work on the car.

After about 10 min. of scrubbing, it was ready to be rinsed. Inuyasha picked up the hose and started to spray the car, while Kagome took everything back in the house. As she got ready to take the buckets in, an idea popped in her head that she just couldn't resist.

She Grabbed one of the buckets filled with soapy water, stuck up behind Inuyasha and poured it straight over his head taking the hanyou by surprise. Kagome stepped back to admired her handy work; she saw that he was completely soaked from head to foot and that he just stood there glaring at her. She didn't care though, she started to crack up about how stupid he looked. "How's that for a cool down?" she asked between fits of laughter.

The boy, now seething with anger, got an ingenious plan. He grabbed the hose he dropped when the water fell on his head and asked "I don't know why don't you tell me." then he sprayed Kagome till she was as wet as he was. When he stopped he noticed she had a certain look in her eye that told him their little water fight just became a war.
