The laundry room always smelled so stale. Granted, it didn't smell bad – but it didn't smell good either. Probably from all the old man farts.

"Miko." Speaking of farts . . .

"Yes, oh great lord of . . . Whatever?" Kagome snapped her tongue venomously and narrowed her eyes. She was folding one of her many sweatpants.

"You should start at the legs." He stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I should start at the legs?" She replied dumbly.

"That's what I said."

"You're not making any sense,"

Even though Kagome had practically begged (on her hands and knees no less) that the stupid dog wouldn't follow her down into the basement, he was still there. Sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall in all his old fashioned glory. It honestly felt like having a kid follow you around. A kid that wasn't yours. Pretty weird, if you think about it.

Outside the clatter of feet could be heard on the gravel yard outside the three-story building. By standing on her toes . . . Okay, by clumsily crawling onto the dryer machine, Kagome managed to stare out the rectangular windows of the basement. Some boys that belonged to a family in the structure (a family that was too big for the rooms the place offered, if you asked Kagome) were running and screaming outside – jumping and kicking in the puddles of water from the morning's downfall. She smiled.

"Miko." She grimaced and glanced over her shoulder.

"What?"

"Want to go out and play?"

Almost immediately, her frown turned upside-down. She would love to be out and play.
