Chapter 4 Dinner Trouble

Last time on Welcome to the Future (Again, I really have to try to do this less often.)

Inuyasha decided to finish it for her however, "Bloodshed you mean? Don't worry I'll stop him. And why don't we try the well to see if we can get back or not." Inuyasha comforted and encouraged Kagome a bit uncharacteristically.

They went out to the shrine to test if indeed it their theory (more like Kagome's theory) was true.

They soon proved Kagome's theory to be accurate however, much to the added disappointment of the group, this of course included the sudden appearance of Sesshoumaru in Souta's school.

"Well, it's getting late so maybe we should just go inside and see if there's enough room to house everyone." Kagome silently sweat-dropped at the thought of Miroku sneaking around in her house at night. She quickly shook it out of her head seeing that there really wasn't anything she could do except bound him up at night, but that's definitely out of the question.

Now that the group had went inside, Mrs. Higurashi appeared to announce that dinner is ready and lead everyone into the soon to be very crowded kitchen. (Yes, they eat in the kitchen for some reason.)

Everyone followed in with Miroku last and he once again tried to grope poor Sango which earned him a smack on the head (he deserved it) from Sango, glares from the rest of the little group, a weird look from Mrs. Higurashi that said "what's going on here", a confused stare from Souta and an absolutely disgusted look from grandpa. (Apparently grandpa was the only one who actually saw it.) After this little ordeal, all Miroku could do is to put on an innocent smile and silently cursing all the bad luck he keeps on getting. (Yeah, right.)

They were finally able to sat down peacefully (not for long) and start the already delayed dinner. (I think you can imagine why it's delayed, but I'll say it anyways. With all the commotion going on which included Miroku's little sneaky crime, the sun has already set. Keep in mind that summer is coming so the sun sets pretty late. Also Mrs. Higurashi has to cook for eight and that's not including the two cats. I feel sorry for her.)

Grandpa and Inuyasha were sitting at opposite end of the table. (Inuyasha was trying to put distance between himself of the crazed old guy) Kagome sitting beside Inu to the right and than Sango and Mrs. Higurashi on grandpa's left. On the other side from Inu's left was Shippou with the same reason as puppy-ear but lost against him (Duh). In the middle was Miroku due to Sango's insistence that it's easier to keep an eye on him, so Souta was left with nowhere else to sit except beside his crazed old gramps. (Not that it really bothers him that much, I just thought it should, but I guess it doesn't really matter.) Kirara was given a few fish, although Buyo was already fed, he still wanted more, but can't really get it because he's competing with a demon.

Everything seemed to be going pretty well and everyone was contented, but when 5 minutes into dinner the phone ran. Kirara instantly transformed into her bigger version and snarled in the direction of the phone, while Shippou screamed something that sounded like "where did the demon come from" and "it must be invincible if it can survive without any other demons around". Sango and Miroku remained calm although they did tense considerably. Mrs. Higurashi went to pick up the phone while Kagome tried to calm her friends down.

"Oh, hi Houjo dear (yes, she called him dear, because he cared for Kagome, although it is a little too much), what is it that you want?" the voice of Mrs. Higurashi sounded in to living room. "You want to talk to Kagome? Ok, I'll call her over… Kagome."

"Coming." Kagome hurried into the living room while Inuyasha explained to them what a phone is since he had already had previous encounters with it.

A/N: So what does Houjo want? It's a cliffy, But not too bad, still, if I get more reviews, the next chappy will be up sooner.
