A/N: I used to be caught up with Here We Go Again but not any more. I'm actually three more chapters ahead of this story now. Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 25: Day Off

Hikari and Hiro were walking around in the yard. Hiroshi still felt a little uneasy around Hikari because of the accident that occurred yesterday. The door to the shrine slammed open and Inuyasha stormed out. He walked over to Hiroshi and Hikari.

"Why didn't either of you tell me where you were going?" He shouted.

Hiroshi got in front of Hikari. "I think I'm old enough to take my little sister somewhere without your consent." Hiroshi calmly stated.

"Don't yell at me." Inuyasha said abruptly.

"I'm not shouting you're the one that's shouting." Hiroshi sighed getting a little frustrated.

"Stop fighting." Hikari ordered coming out from behind Hiro.

"What happened? How did you get this?" Inuyahsa asked looking at Hikari's neck.

"I did it. I gave Hikari those wounds on her neck." Hiroshi answered.

"Why did you do that?"

"Well I didn't do it on purpose if that's what you're asking."

"JUST STOP FIGHTING!" Hikari screamed over top of both of them. She grabbed her brothers' hand and dragged him into the house.

"Inuyasha, you should learn how to control your anger." Kagome sighed. "I understand that you're mad they didn't tell you specifically, but isn't telling Sango and Mirkou enough to let you know where they are."

Inuyasha looked down.

"Come on." Kagome walked into the house.

~Hikari's room~

Hiroshi sat on the bad and Hikari sat down at her desk. They just started laughing.

"I've never acted like that before." He stated.

"Thanks for sticking up for me." She said.

"That's what older siblings are supposed to do."

A silence fell between them.

"Well now what are we going to do?" She asked looking at the ceiling.

Hiro looked around her room. I have to change my bandages I'll be right back." Hikari walked out of the room.

She took off the small bandage on her right first.

"I'll help you." Hiro stated walking into the bathroom.

"That's all right."

Hiro grabbed a cotton ball and the peroxide. Hikari sighed and hopped up on the sink.

"I guess there is one good thing about having one of our parents being half demon." Hikari mentioned.

"Really and what's that." He asked throwing out the cotton ball and placing a bandage on the gash.

"We heal quickly." She laughed.

"That's true." He said slowly taking off the gauss on the left side of her neck.

"Ouch." She whispered and he pulled it off the rest of the way.

"Sorry." He said dropping it in the trash. Then he cleaned out the four small gashes that were left from yesterday. He put four small bandages on the cuts instead of a gauss. "There." He put the peroxide away and threw out the wrappers.

"Thanks." She hopped off the sink.

"I'm sorry." He apologized again.

"It's okay. I've taken harder hits than that." She was referring to the scar that was on her shoulder.

"You never told me how you got that scar."

"I actually got this in my first fight. Daisuke was the one who gave it to me. Then I have a few on my back from him to."

"You really got beat up from him didn't you?"

"That's ok it just means more experience right?"

"I guess."

"Besides I figured out how to get your necklace back on incase it happens again." She smiled.

"Well lets' just hope it doesn't fall off again." He placed a hand on her head.

"And you two aren't the only ones that have given me an injury."

"You have even more scars?"

"No just emotionally with Zen." Her smile faded.

"I figured out what we can do." Hiro mentioned changing the subject.

"What's that?" She asked.

"What about that thing in your room."

"What thing?" She had a look of confusion on her face.

"Here I'll show you." He walked out of the bathroom and Hikari followed. "This thing."

"Oh you mean my guitar. I haven't touched that all summer." Hikari stated taking it from Hiro.

She sat down at the desk and started to tune the guitar. It didn't take that long. Then she started playing all the songs that her and Zen do in there band. She played it for hours and tried to teach Hiro how to play. He started picking up on it. By ten o'clock he was able to play marry had a little lamb. Very slowly but he was able to play it.

"You're doing really well for just six hours of practice." She said clapping her hands.

"You probably picked up on it more quickly than I have." He said sheepishly.

"I've actually been at it for five years now."

"That's why you're so good at it though."

Inuyahsa leaned on the door frame. "I'm sorry about blowing up on you two like that today. You should get to bed soon we're going back to the feudal ear in the morning." He apologized then left.

They actually kept talking telling each other about what they did when they were younger and different things like that.

"Maybe we should get to bed Hikari considering we don't know when dad's going to ell us it's time to go." He sighed having to ruin their fun.

"Fine, I'll see you in the morning then." She said with a little disappointment in her voice.

"You know where I am if you need me." He rustled her hair.

"I know, I know." She pushed his hand off.

"Try to fall asleep with a smile on your face." He said.

"I'll try."

"Sweat dreams Hikari." Hiroshi said departing.

"And may sweet dreams come true." She whispered putting her guitar away and closing her door.

She put on shorts and a baggy t-shirt. Then shut off her light. She walked over to the window and opened it to let the warm night air into her room. She laid down and once her head hit the pillow she was out like a light. Around two in the morning a good breeze of air blew into the bed room. His feet lightly tapped on the floor as he landed. Quietly he walked over to the bed and sat down on the bed next to Hikari who was sound asleep.

His hand slipped perfectly into hers. He leaned in to kiss her but stopped a centimeter away from her lips.

"I love you." He whispered gently. "I don't want to live without you." He sat back up and still held on to her hand. He stood up. Someone was coming down the hall. He tried leaving but his was pulled back a little because Hikari had a hold of his hand.

"Don't leave me." She said in her sleep.

He leaned in a whispered in her ear "I never will." He slipped his hand away and disappeared.

"I could have sworn that someone else was here." Inuyasha muttered looking into the room. He tip toed into the room and closed her window.

…to be continued…
