You know, whatever spell and grammar check I had used before really sucked and I remember questioning some of it. I know my current one, it is Microsoft Word, tends to have a few errors when it comes to the use of 'him', 'his', and 'he' but this is getting a little ridiculous with some of the other things. Does anyone have any suggestions? Well, it is now checked over yet again, I'm slowly going through all of my stories because I want them to be enjoyable although I had once been happy to see my progress over time, I just want to make it a bit better.

Chapter 7

Giggling females entered into the steamy room as all six of them disrobed, not paying attention to the extra discarded clothing as they looked at the different areas to bathe. One of them spotted the head of black hair and ears barely sticking up in the waters of one of the hot springs and informed the others it is already occupied by another. They went to the warm waterfall and had fun splashing each other as they frolicked about, gossiping and giggling.

A long time went by and they slowly got dried off so they can get dressed as they put their robes on. As they began to get dressed they noticed the other hot springs still occupied and judging by the clothing they assumed the demon to be female. "Should one of us see if they are awake?" the cat demon questioned, her curiosity getting to her.

"They could be meditating." The coyote suggested.

"But if they drown I would feel horrible, they could be unconscious." They bunny replied her nervousness and worry making her jumpy.

"Fine I'm going to go check things out." The cat walked over and peered at the demon in question. "It's a female kitsune. I think I have seen her a few times but it looks like she is asleep." The cat studied her until she found herself stifling a yawn. "That's odd; I wasn't tired a few seconds ago." She mumbled as she yawned again and began to try and wake the sleeping female up.

The rest finished dressing themselves as they watched their friend attempt to wake the sleeping kitsune. Then after another yawn their friend lost her balance and fell into the pool. Alarmed they called out to her as the coyote dove in and dragged her out, finding her equally asleep just like the kitsune.

She then also felt a yawn consume her. "I"-yawn-"think it's drugged over here. I'm feeling sleepy now too." She then walked back a few paces trying to suppress more yawns. By the time she reached them the bat demon had to support her weight as she tried to fight off the dark recesses of sleep fruitlessly.

The bunny demon left the room in a hurry trying to find help. She worriedly ran looking for someone that might be awake. She dipped around corners, searched the commons and library areas, her mind working hard to remember where the leaders would be.

Yomi and Aki stood in a hallway outside of Youko's study talking when they could hear petite feet running hurriedly down different hallways. Hearing it coming closer they began walking towards the corner of a nearby hallways when a small form of a female crashed into them looking dazed. They both held her up until she got her bearings.

Feeling herself crash into two demons she looked up and felt them loosen their grip so she stepped back a pace and curtsied. Looking up she sent her pleading eyes up to them as she filled them with her worry. "I'm so sorry but please sirs hear me out. A kitsune female is asleep in the hot springs so my friend tried to wake her but then she fell asleep too and fell into the water so another of my friends jumped in to save her from drowning and after she got out she started yawning and is falling asleep too! Please help us!" She hurriedly rambled trying not to clash her words together.

Aki and Yomi shared a look and took off to the hot springs not paying attention to Youko or Kuronue as the bunny demon followed them back. Upon entering the spring Aki could smell something off about it and shared another look with Yomi, then held their breath. Yomi quickly grabbed the cat demon while Aki grabbed a towel and pulled the kitsune out and wrapped a towel around her body as he looked down at Kagome's sleeping face.

He quickly appeared at the entrance of the springs taking a deep breath of air to hopefully dispel the sleepy side effects that might have gotten in him by other means. He noticed a bat demon supporting a coyote demon that looked to be drenched and losing the battle to stay awake. Assuming that she is the one to jump in after the cat demon fell in.

"That hot spring will be off limits until this is fixed. Gather your things and we will all leave to get them a room." He then walked into the hallway finding Youko and Kuronue looking at him expectantly. "Something is wrong with the hot springs. It has a sleepy effect on the occupants that get close enough to the one Kagome resided in."

He then walked off with Kagome, not noticing the small flash of jealousy in Youko's eyes. He led them to a big room near Kagome's and then took Kagome to her own after asking the females to take care of her. Him and Yomi accompanied Youko and Kuronue back at the hot springs finding them holding Kagome's belongings while they all narrowed their eyes at a pouch labeled that it's for 'cleaning your body', the sleepy fragrance came from that pouch.

Youko recognized it as something Kagome purchased when she was with him at the market a couple months ago. He searched his memory for the stall she bought it in as they dropped her stuff off and went to his study. The other three waited patiently, all noticing the look of concentration on Youko's face, waiting patiently for a possible answer or solution.

"We will take the females under the sleeping spell to the market in the morning if they don't awaken. Otherwise they will remain here with you while I confront the demon that sold this to Kagome a couple months ago. He had better have a good reason for his mistakes." In agreement they all went about doing their own business.

Hope you enjoyed it!
