Finally another chapter! Sorry it literally took forever guys. High school is harder than it looks! The next couple chapters will come out quickly though, I've already started writing some of them. For now, enjoy this chappie^^

"You humans are so weird! Having explosions as entertainment. And you call yourselves civilized?"

"Yeah, yeah. You know you enjoyed them, you big softie," I grinned as I tugged playfully at one of his doggy ears.

Inuyasha grabbed my hand off in protest. Our eyes met for a second before Inuyasha quickly turned away.

"You're still holding my hand you know," I informed him. He immediately let go, his face turning a bright shade of red for the tenth time that night. I smiled contently, happy he had enjoyed himself, then looked up and realized that we had already arrived back at my house. Inuyasha was staring towards the well, probably antsy to get back to his time.

"Why don't you go back ahead of me?" I offered. "I still need to repack my bag and put away my charcoal." I motioned with my chin to all the drawing supplies in my shoulder bag.

"You sure? If I go who knows when you'll come back. You'll probably get caught up in some lame test or something and be gone for who knows how long," he speculated.

"Sit boy," I said calmly. When was he going to get that those weren't just lame tests? They were important! Well, they were pretty boring and I hated them, but still! Inuyasha gave a painful groan from below. "Just go on ahead, my friends are coming over tomorrow and I don't want to have to worry about them finding you without your hat. I'll join you in a day, two tops. Okay?"

Inuyasha was about to protest, until he saw the I'll-say-sit-boy-a-million-times-if-you-don't-listen-to-me look on my face as I glared at him. "Fine," he reluctantly agreed, mostly so that he could save some of his little remaining dignity, and ran off to the little building with the well. I heard the closing of their wooden doors, then silence. I was alone. I stood their for a second, feeling a bit odd standing by myself in the dark.

Wait? Dark?

I looked over at the house. No lights were on, had they already gone to sleep? I shrugged and went inside. Trying not to wake them I tiptoed silently up the steps and only turned the lights on once I reached my room. Sleep was my first option, but somehow I felt like I didn't want to just yet. I felt too restless, like I was forgetting something. So instead I packed my bag for the feudal era to keep myself busy and hopefully get me a bit tired. It was amazing how much could fit into that bag.

"Meow!"

"Katsu?" I glanced up from my bag. It was almost done, I just needed to grab some instant ramen for Inuyasha. Katsu gave another loud meow. The fat cat came up and rubbed persistently against my legs. "What, did Daichi forget to feed you? It was his turn."

Katsu responded with beedy stare, followed by one more leg rub and a threatening growl.

"Ok, ok, I need to get some more instant ramen anyway for Inuyasha."

The cat gave a disdainful meow at the mention of the man who forced him to dance like a puppet on his bottom paws every time he caught hold of him.

"Oh you know he's just teasing you," I reassured Katsu as I made my way into the kitchen. The catfood was in the bottom cupboard farthest to the right, that way Daichi could reach it too. I flipped the switch on, immediately bathing the room in bright light. It took a few seconds before I could open my eyes again and actually get to feeding Katsu. The cat gave a deep content purr as it finally buried its face into its food bowl.

"You know we should really put you on a diet," I observed at the cat stuck its chubby behind up at my face. He only scarfed down more food in reply. I sighed. "I really gotta stop talking to my cat, people are gonna think I'm crazy..... Though they might be right."

I turned and went for the cabinet filled with an everlasting stash of ramen. As I passed the kitchen table something white caught the corner of my eye. My feet stopped short and went back for the table. I hesitated – it was a note.

It could be harmless. It could be a note stating that grandpa had gone out grocery shopping. I glanced at my watch. Yeah, at midnight. I snatched it up and held it for a few seconds, hoping to god that my grandfather had gone out for a late pick up of octopus balls.

Kameko. Please go to the hospital as soon as you get this. Daichi and I are going out now. They say something's wrong, it could be nothing, but we want to be sure.

-Grandpa

The note fluttered to slowly to the floor. Katsu gave a scared screech as the kitchen door slammed behind me.

Don't kill me, I know it's short, and it's a cliffhanger, but I couldn't help myself! I just had too. Sorry for teasing you guys, you'll just have to comment in hopes that I'll post the next one soon!(the more comments the sooner it will be posted^^)
