[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
AN: I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, hope you guys missed me as much as I missed you, told ya I was still going to write. Right now I don't see why I'm going to have that long an absence again, so I should be updating every week. Expect for next week, but I'll be updating regularly for a long time. And now that I've had a month to think about it, I got a bunch of good ideas for this story and a lot for new stories. One of them is this one-shot series, that's kinda like this one, but instead of one big story of Snow White getting replaced with Inuyasha, it's more smaller fairy tales getting replaced with Inuyasha. I'm really weird, I love the idea of rewriting stupid fairly tales, replacing all the wimpy people with cool people from Inuyasha. I think I wanna start it now, but I'm afraid it'll get in the way of this story. Whatever, anyway you guys can stop telling me if you want Kouga to get stuck with Ayame or Kagura, you aren't going to pick Kagura anytime soon. Not that I've gotten many REVIEWS from you people. God, it's like pulling teeth. How `bout doing me a flavor and at least insult my spelling or something, and, God see how desperate I am? I'm begging for people to make fun of me, God this is pitiful. Anyway, one quick word to the NICE PEOPLE WHO ACTULLAY REVIEW and then the new chapter.
Wolfbite (something like that right?)- Hey thanks for the suggestion and the REVIEW you gave me. I'm really honored you think that of me. Unless you meant something else entirely and I'm a stupid idiot who misunderstood you. Anyway, sorry but you can't marry Kouga, but if it's all right with you, I want to make your character one of the generals/fighters in Kagome's army. Just send me something on what your character looks like, name and any skills she/he has. Thanks!
InuyashaLoveLorn- Thanks for whatever review you sent me but my stupid computers not working, and I'm only getting the first 8 reviews I was sent, and I don't remember what yours was. Sorry! It's been two weeks since I last read it. Oh yeah, thanks again for the suggestion!
Ok, I know there was someone else, but the review you sent in isn't coming up and I can't spell your name or remember what you reviewed about. Sorry, thanks anyway through. Promise I'll talk about you when my friend comes on Aol and can send me the reviews. Again, thanks and sorry.
Disclaimer- No I don't own Inuyasha, but do you think I can get Kouga to work as my pool boy? Wait, I need a pool first. Damn.

***Kikyo's Secret Bedroom***
Kanna was sitting on her knees on a small pillow in front of the picture of the angels, her back facing it, her mirror resting in her hands, her face a careful mask to let no emotions show as she watched Kikyo scream and break things in a total rage. She didn't even blink when a huge glass goblet flew pass her, barely brushing her shoulder.
“Damn it! You fucking told me to do the wrong thing you, you… Kami I don't even have a word for you!”
She screamed at Kanna, pacing past her angrily, barely keeping herself from reaching out and smacking her across the face just to get her to show some kind of emotion.
“I also told you I wasn't sure what would make him desire you. My mirror was cloudy and unclear that day.”
She didn't even look at Kikyo as she said this, just stared ahead at some unseen spot on the wall. Kikyo growled as best a human could and had to keep herself from knocking Kanna against the floor.
“What the hell does that mean?” she asked between tightly clenched teeth that wanted to do something like, say bite Kanna's ear off, instead of talk.
She slowly turned her head and neck towards Kikyo, burning holes in her with her uncaring gaze, and spoke slowly as if she was speaking to a slow child.
“When I can't read my mirror, it means the person I'm focusing on is changing, and/or his current actions are not matching those of his past. I cannot tell what will make him respond to your desires until the mirror becomes unclouded and clear to read again. You as a trained miko should know this.”
Kikyo flung one last plate at the wall and sat down against her bed, reclining against her pillows.
“So when exactly will your mirror become `unclouded and clear to read again'?” she asked mockingly. Kanna drilled her with her gaze again.
“When he stops changing, when enough time as passed that his current actions become routine for him, or when the reason his actions and feelings are changing is removed.”
Kikyo considered this, rubbing her bottom lip thoughtfully.
“Let's see, I can't wait for him to stop changing, who knows how long that takes, I can't wait for his current actions to become normal for him and the people around him, so that leaves one thing. Destroy whatever's taking his attention away from me. Now I would make you find out now, but Naraku should be here any minute and I don't want him to find out what I'm up to. So I'll be kind and let the bitch live another day.”
She said as she got up, walked to her closet and started looking at clothes. She nodded to herself as she held a dirty miko uniform up to her chest and started to put it on. Kanna watched on in silence but couldn't resist asking,
“Why didn't you get Kagome to wash that for you?”
Kikyo giggled,
“Because, it's our role play night, tonight he's the big, bad demon who I try to kill but fail. The mud's because the battle took place near a muddy lake, and he's going to fuck my brains out in the water, wanna watch?”
She tied her hair behind her like a miko would.
“To bad, you're not invited even if you wanted to watch, now, leave me.”
Kanna slipped back through the painting as she heard Kikyo mutter to herself,
“Now where did I leave the whips and chains?”
***Inuyasha and Kagome***
`Hope he doesn't react to badly to my leg. Kami who am I kidding? He's probably still mad about me leaving him. And now he finds me with my leg bleeding, twisted, and not even bothered to care for. I'm done for.'
I clutched his arms tighter when my leg got bumped around a little bit and tried not to moan out in pain. We reached his room, and I smiled nervously up at him when he put me down gently on his bed.
“Hey. Been awhile seen we've seen each other, hasn't it been Inuyasha?”
He crossed his arms and glared down at me, ignoring my question and way of greeting, which had been pretty stupid.
“What happened to your leg Kagome?” I decided to play dumb not wanting to worry him and blinked my eyes up at him.
“Something happened to my leg?”
Inuyasha growled, “Yes, what happened?”
“Which leg?”
“That one.” He pointed to my left leg.
I looked down at my leg and raised my head back up at him,
“Oh. That leg.”
“Yeah that leg. What happened to it?”
“…You know, I don't remember.”
“Yes you do, what happened?”
“How should I know?”
“Kagome.”
“Yes?”
“Tell. Me. What. Happened. To. Your. Leg.”
I tilted my head to the side and scratched my head, as if I was thinking deeply about something.
“Hm. Now that I think about it, I think it got banged against a door.”
“That hard?” He asked, gesturing toward the blood coming through the cloth.
“I was rushing.”
“Doing what?”
“Chores.”
“What chores?”
“My daily ones.”
“Like what?”
“The ones I do everyday.”
“And they are?”
“Oh, this and that.”
“This and that of what?”
“Of everything.”
“Kagome.”
“Yeah?”
“Last time I'm asking, what happened to your leg?”
Inuyasha looked really angry now, so I thought it would be better to distract him instead of annoying him. So I reached up to pet his ears but his hand caught mine.
“You are not touching my ears again. Do you think I'm that stupid? Besides, I told you, you weren't touching my ears ever again when we were kids.”
“So? I wanna touch them.”
“Too bad.”
“Come on, please?”
“No.”
“Please?”
“No”
“Please?”
“No”
“Pretty please?”
“No.”
“Pretty please with sugar on top?”
“No”
“Pretty please with sugar, and sparkles on top?”
“No.”
“Pretty, pretty please with sugar, sparkles, ice cream, and cookies on top?”
“No.”
***20 minutes later***
“-whipped cream, spice, fresh milk, caramel, frosting, pastries, cake, cupcakes, fruit, chocolate, fruit filling, jello, pudding, sprinkles, pie, cheese cake, strawberries, blackberries, nuts and butterscotch on top?”
“Kami where do you come up with this stuff? NO!”
“Are you two done yet?”
Inuyasha turned around and I gasped. Inuyasha started to turn red at the two men sitting at the table playing cards and I looked away, blushing.
“Kami Inuyasha, if you want some girl to like you, the first thing you don't do is deny her greatest wish. And shouldn't you be happy she wants to touch you?” Miroku asked.
“Indeed little brother, why are you fighting her so much?” Sesshourmaru asked without even looking up from the cards in his hand. He looked up, saw my leg and sighed.
“Are you going to take care of her, or shall I do it for you?”
Inuyasha growled, “Don't touch her.” And to me he said, “Move even an inch and I'll chain you to the bed, and tell Kikyo I required of your `services' when she can't find you.” And he left before I could say one word. I leaned back
“Well, I'm not moving, when did you guys get here?”
“We came in sometime while you were adding in the dipped caramel locusts to your pleas of touching his ears.” Sesshourmaru remarked dryly.
“What? I heard from Mayu that the cooks in the south can make it look like you're not even eating the bugs when they prepare them!” I defended weakly.
“Um-huh, by the way, they may not look like bugs but they taste really bad.” Sesshourmaru remarked.
Miroku put one of his cards on the table.
“I like strawberry mosquitoes, they're so tiny they look like little balls and not as flies at all.”
“Yes, those are good, but the chocolate frogs are better.”
Miroku looked up from his hand at Sesshourmaru.
“Really? I've heard about those, but I refuse to eat one until someone tells me if they keep the bones in the frogs or not.”
“That's why many people don't eat them, they're afraid of choking on a bone.”
“So are there bones?”
“That's the beauty of it, you don't know and anyone who's tried it before is sworn not to tell. It's been like that for centuries but no one can remember why. The only reason I tried one was because my brother dared me to when I was about 18. I don't remember how old he was.”
“What about a butterscotch pig liver? Ever had one of those?”
“Yes, I didn't like it much, the liver was to hard in some places, and to soft in other. The butterscotch was good through. I was told the cook homemade it before.”
“Yeah, I love homemade stuff, have you ever tried…”
“ENOUGH! WILL YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT EATING STUFF LIKE THAT? IT'S SO GROSS!!!!”
Miroku looked at me, totally innocent.
“I'm sorry Kagome, we didn't mean to upset you. Are you alright?”
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, just peachy.”
“There's a food you forgot to say, peach cobber! I love that stuff. My castle makes the best ever! We hand pick the peaches-“
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up about the stupid peach cobber. I tried it at your place and it wasn't that good.” Inuyasha said as he strolled in with medical supplies under his shoulder.
“Hey!”
He sat gently on the bed, putting the stuff he brought with him on the table he dragged over, glancing down at the sides of my legs.
“What are you doing?”
“Making sure you didn't move a inch like I told you.”
“Oh shut up!”
He flashed me a quick grin and brought his attention back to my leg. He unwrapped the cloth around my leg and seemed at lose at what to do next. Miroku pushed him off the bed and took his spot.
“Kami Inuyasha, I through you could fix wounds.”
“Well I can. Sort of. Ok, I can't really.” He got up, dusted his sleeves and glared at the monk. Miroku rolled his eyes, picked up a pair of tweezers, and started picking splinters out of my leg. I clenched my jaw tight, refusing to cry out against the pain. I saw Inuyasha staring, with a look in his eyes I couldn't quite place.
“What?” he shot back at me when he caught me staring and stalked over to a chair to sit down in.
I shook my head at him and tried to hold in a grasp when Miroku got rid of a really long piece of wood. He raised an eyebrow, pausing in his work.
“If you didn't want to get a cut and splinters you should have watched where you were running.”
He said, sounding like a father who had caught his child playing in the mud. A door slammed open.
“What happened to her you bastards?”
I sighed. “Hi Kagura. Were have you been?”
She rolled her eyes and sat down on the other side of me.
“Lady Bitch wanted to compare and contrast the colors of her new dining room, to the color of the old one, `Oh, but Lady Kagura, do you think this is a little to bright?'” she imitated her in a high-pitched voice.
“At least that's what we started out talking about. When the freak left, she started talking about the latest gossip that almost bored me to tears. I don't know how I survived. Oh, the things I do for you.”
I laughed; happy Kagura was her usual self.
“Yeah but I always make it up to you with caramels don't I?”
“Well yeah, there's that, but you know what would make me really happy?”
“What?”
She took a deep breath and started to sing,
“Boys, sometimes a girl just needs one.”
I caught on and started singing with her
“Boys, to love and to hold.”
“Boys, when a girl is with one”
“Mm mmm”
“Then she's in control!”
We exploded in laughter, and laughed even harder if that was possible when we saw the guys looking at us with compete and total shock. Even Sesshourmaru didn't look cold or hard and stared at us with his mouth hanging wide open.
We calmed down, and I looked at Miroku, still in shock.
“Are you going to finish anytime soon?”
“Um, oh yeah sure, but Lady Kagura and Kagome, if you need anything from me later, well you know what room I'm in.”
“Hentai!” Kagura made as if to hit him but I stopped her in mid-air
“Can you wait till after he's done fixing my leg please?”
“Oh yeah. Sorry, I can wait.”
“Oh thank you so much. Sorry if it's to much trouble.”
“Don't worry, it's no trouble at all.” She said, totally missing my sarcasm or just ignoring it.
Miroku gulped, and muttered thank Kami as we went back to work on my leg. Everyone just sit in silence for a while, Inuyasha staring at the fire, Kagura taking over Miroku in his and Sesshourmarus's card game, and I just sat and stared out the window and thought about the book. What could it possibly be? How special could a book like that be? It had a good story but what's the point of the letter, Kaede's dreams, and the strange papers and circles? Kami this is confusing. It's just a regular book and yet, it's not. Kaede did tell me to trust myself, so I guess that book isn't just a book. But what is it? Miroku better be done soon, I have to find out.
“Are you almost done?”
“Almost, I just have to wrap this up.”
“Don't so it neatly, Kikyo will suspect something if I have a neat bandage around my ankle instead of one that looks like I did it myself.”
Inuyasha looked up from the fireplace,
“Why?”
“She ordered all the healers not to help me when I'm hurt or sick unless I may die. Don't know why she cared enough to at least keep me alive through. I always figured she'd want me dead.”
Inuyasha swore and stood up, heading for the door muttering stupid bitch under his breath over and over again. He was about to reach the doorknob when a pinkish purple energy barrier surrounded the doorknob. I sighed in relief.
“Thanks Miroku.” I said, grateful he had stopped Inuyasha. He looked puzzled and opened his mouth to say something but glanced over my shoulder and changed his mind, settling on a nod instead.
`Ok that was weird. Maybe Sesshourmaru put the barrier up, and didn't want to admit it.'
“Inuyasha you promised me you wouldn't harm Kikyo.”
He growled, “That bitch should be torn limb from limb.”
`Shit, he's not listening. Kami I hate doing this.'
I giggled, “Oh Inuyasha, you weren't going to kill Kikyo for me were you?”
His eyes got big.
“Hell no! I just, I, um, I … wanted to get some food for you! That's it, food! I could hear your stomach growling from all the way over there. Stupid wench, thinking I'm gonna defend you or something.”
“Hey I have a name moron! And it's not wench!”
“Feh, so?”
“So call me by it. Ka-go-me. Say it!”
“Why should I?”
“Because I hate all the other little pet names you have for me.”
“And I should care?”
“Oh you stupid little…ugh, I don't even have a name for you!”
I stood up shakily, and walked towards the door with a limp.
“Hey! Where do you think you're going?”
“Out of here you stupid jerk!”
“Oh and this is the thanks I get for helping you?”
“I would have thanked you if you can stand to call me by my real name! But since you refuse to, we're even! Now I'm leaving.”
“Feh, fine go ahead.”
“I will!”
I walked out the door and slammed it shut. I hurried as fast I could to my room, trying hard to muffle my laughing. Kami Inuyasha was gullible! Now that he's mad at me, he won't go after Kikyo or bother me at least till morning. Good. Now it's time to find out what secrets that books holds.
***Inuyasha's Room***
I spun around to face Miroku after Kagome left.
“Why the hell did you block me from leaving?”
Miroku looked confused and then sighed.
“Inuyasha, I didn't put that barrier up.”
I blinked.
“But, she couldn't have put it up? Could she?”
I ran back to the door and tried to get it open, but Kagome's barrier flared to life again and wouldn't let me out. Miroku got up and walked over to the barrier.
“Here, let me try to get rid of it.”
He held his hand up over the barrier, muttered a few words and tried to throw a prayer paper on the barrier. It stuck for a few moments but then it caught fire. Miroku drew back, clearly shocked.
“Oh Kami. She's stronger then we thought she was. This isn't good. We have to get her trained right away. It's not safe if she isn't trained soon.”
Sesshourmaru nodded. “Fine we'll tell her tomorrow.”
“Tell her what tomorrow?” Kagura asked
Miroku slapped a hand to his forehead. “Damn it, I forgot you were in here.”
“Well to bad, I want to know everything, now!”

AN: Yay, I'm finally done with this chapter. Hey, what are the prayer paper things Kagome's grandpa uses on Inuyasha and what Miroku uses on a demon once in awhile called? I sort of know, but I cannot spell it for the life of me. Anyway, don't worry; I'll put out at least one or two more chapters out this weekend so you'll find out what happens with the book. Or maybe I'll be evil and start that one shot thing I was talking about before. Heheheheheheheheh. I don't know I'll see how I feel in a little bit. Well there are only a couple chapters of Kagome still in the castle and then… what? I'm not telling you now. So if anyone's getting tired of waiting for her to get out of there and find the rest of the `dwarfs' you're in luck, I only have maybe two, give or take a few chapters left of it. Yay. Well hope you liked this chapter and,
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks and see ya when I write up the next chapter. Later. Oh wait, one more thing before you go, sorry about any mistakes in spelling or wording. I wanna get this up so bad I didn't do a very good job.
