Chapter 14:Dishes

"So I was under a spell?"Sango asked as they ate breakfast.

Kara took another bite of cereal and said,"Yup."

"A spell that made me hate Miroku?"Sango asked.

"That was the deal."Kara said in a barely noticable bored tone.She finished her cereal.

"Who would waste their time doing that?"Sango asked as everyone sweatdropped.-_-'

"We think it might have been Luna."Kagome said as she went to the stream to wash the dishes.

"Kagome,let me help you with those."Sango said as she went to lend a hand before the dishes that Kagome was carrying could break.

"So,what are the plans for tonight?"Kara asked with a sigh.

"What plans?"Miroku asked as he streched out on Sango's mat.

"You're just asking for trouble,doing that."Kara told Miroku as Kilala laid down beside him.

"Nah,Sango likes me again.Besides,what plans?"Miroku said as he petted Kilala with his un-cursed hand.

"Plans for defense?I would think you guys do something during the new moon."Kara elaborated.

"Mostly lay low."Inuyasha said as the fox cubs had a shape-shifting practice session.

"Do the kitty again."Shippo said as the older people talked.

"Okay."Kiyato said as she changed form."Your turn."said kitten Kiyato.

"What should I do?"Shippo asked as she came back with a *pop*.

"Hmmmmm.......ohhh,I've got it!!Do Luna and sneak up on Miroku!!"Kiyato said with a giggle.

"Okay."Shippo said with an evil grin(A\n:Cute and evil!!!AWWWWW!!!!).He changed behind a tree when no one was looking and then he walked up to the campsite.

"Hey!!!You put a spell on-"Inuyasha started but Kara put her hand over his mouth.

"Shhh!!We're not sure she did it!!"Kara whispered in his ear."So act normal!!!"

"What was that?"Shippo asked in his best Luna impersonation.

"I said,'Hey!!!You put a shell on your head!!!'"Inuyasha said,thinking quickly.

"I did?"Shippo asked while he felt around on his head.

"No,just this leaf."Inuyasha said as he walked over and flicked it off.

One *pop* later,Shippo had to explain himself."Ahhhhh!!!Don't hurt me!!"Shippo shouted as Inuyasha started to chase him.Of course,Kagome and Sango came back NOW with sparkly clean stacks of dishes."Kagome!!Help!!!!"Shippo shouted as he hid behind her.

"Oh no,brat!!"Inuyasha said as he ran towards Kagome,not noticing the dishes(A\n:I wonder what will happen?-_-').

"INUYASHA!!!!!"Kagome shouted so loud that Inuyasha had to press his ears to his head(A\n:Picture that.He'd look cute like a scolded puppy!!!),so as not to be deafened.

This got his attention(obviously),and he skidded to a halt.He stopped just short of Kagome and the dishes(A\n:Whew!You thought I would have him make a mess!!),and Shippo hid behind Sango.

Inuyasha followed pursuit,but as he did,he bumped into Kagome and Sango quite hard(A\n:I love to have him make messes!!^_~).There was a huge *CRASH* and the dishes were broken.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!?!"Kagome shouted not as loudly as before.

"I don't know."Miroku said,getting off Sango's mat quickly.

"Got me."Kara said as she looked at Kiyato.She had wisely run to Kara when Shippo was exposed.Now she was sitting in Kara's lap looking fearfully at Inuyasha.

~What are we going to say?~she thought,racking her brain for exuses.

"They were just testing Inuyasha's senses."Kara said quickly,after probing Kiyato's mind.

Everyone looked at her."How would you know that?"Miroku asked with a puzzled look.

She tapped her head."Remember?"she asked in an amused tone.

"Oh yeah.I forgot."Miroku said.

"Well?Did you know it was Shippo?"Kagome asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah.But only when I got closer.Luna smells like......"Inuyasha paused.

"What's the matter?"Sango asked while she hit Miroku for laying on her mat.

"Told you so."Kara said,sticking her tongue out at Miroku.

"Come to think of it....Luna doesn't smell like anything at all!!"Inuyasha realized with a frown.

"No scent?That's strange."Sango commented.

"Do you mean no natural scent?Masked by a feudal perfume?"Kagome asked as she completely ignored the broken dishes and sat down next to him.

"No scent at all."Inuyasha said.He squirmed uncomfortably and blushed(A\n:I really am trying!!)when Kagome scooted in a little closer,just to see him blush(A\n:She likes his blush now too!!!It's addictive I tell you,addictive!!!!!Join the blushing revolution,or be embarassed beyond all belief!!!We will crush you with the blush!!-_-'.....Sorry about that.I was in the moment.^_^).

"We'll pick up those dishes now,shall we?"Kara said,indicating herself and the fox cubs.

"Yeah,thanks."Kagome said distractedly.She was still watching Inuyasha blush.

Once the broken dishes were gone,Kara asked,"Should we get out new ones?It's lunch time already."

"Sure.I'm starved,aren't you Inuyasha?"Kagome said,still eyeing his blush.

"I-I am p-pretty hungry."Inuyasha said nevously as Kagome leaned over him to get some Spaghettios** for their lunch.

~Tonight should be interesting.~Miroku thought looking at Kagome and Inuyasha.

*I just realized that I don't own Inuyasha.But if it turns out I'm a very distant relative of Rumiko Takahashi who could one day have copyright privelages(Sp),I'll let you know.I'll ask my Magic 8 Ball***.............Signs point to no.Well,dang.That's depressing.

**Guess what?I don't own that company either.

***This is another company I don't own.

... Your obviously not reading the story!

Chapter 15:An Old Friend Returns

It was after lunch and well into the afternoon before they began to do anything towards getting ready.They put the camp fire mostly out so as not to be seen,and Kara sprayed a bit of bug spray around the camp because bugs were everywhere.She assured them it was natural bug spray,so it wouldn't harm the environment(A\n:Recycle as often as you can.Most of the world's garbage is paper.Think of how many trees could have been saved if that had been recycled.I've decided to bring my story to school a couple of chapters ago,and I printed Chapters 7-14 on recycled paper,and I'll print the rest of the chapters on that too.Unless I run out of recycled paper,then I'll get more recycled paper.Mother Nature CAN kill you.Don't give her a reason to.Now,back to my lovely story.It just occured to me that I haven't written anything about me taking baths or changing clothes.I have been.I've just been changing clothes and bathing in what is not written,for privacy.I'm not an un-hygienic slob.NOW back to my lovely story.*rolls eyes at own sillyness*).Then they all went into the tent to wait for the new moon.Kara tried to teach everyone poker,but she only knew roughly how the game was played.

"What are we supposed to poke again?"Inuyasha asked as he looked at the back of his cards,thereby showing his hand to everyone.He had a winning hand.

Kara sweatdropped.-_-'

"It's just a name."Kara said,reaching over and making him hide his cards again.

"Uh-oh."Shippo said as he pointed at Inuyasha's hair.The white was starting to sort of melt away.His ears(A\n:NO!!!!NOT THE EARS!!!!)retracted into his head(A\n:WAHHH!!),and his claws shrank into normal fingernails.Human ears started to come out the sides of his head.The amber color went out of his eyes,and they turned brown like Kagome's,Sango's,and Kara's.

Kara was looking very sadly at him."What?"he asked.

"Your ears are gone!!!!"she said with a sigh.

Inuyasha sweatdropped.-_-'

"I miss my demon parts more than you do!!"Inuyasha shouted before he yelled,"OW!!"He scratched at his neck.

"Your human blood is never as satisfying as your half-demon blood.It has the wonderful taste of human and demon."a voice at his neck said.

"How did you find us?"Kagome asked as she looked at Inuyasha's neck.Then she frowned and looked towards the entrance.

"I didn't.I was hopping outside when I felt almost fatally ill.So I decided to come in here until the feeling went away.But I saw you guys in here,and I had to stop and talk."Myoga the cowardly flea demon explained."Who're they?"he asked pointing at Kara and Kiyato.

"That's Kara.And that's Kiyato.They-Hey!!Where are you going?"Inuyasha said as he jumped to his feet and caught Kagome by the arm.

"The jewel shard.The one that was concealed.I can sense it more now.But it still seems to be everywhere.What should we do?"Kagome asked him looking around.

"Well,that's terribly inconvienient."Miroku said,frowning.

"Why is the half-demon human now?"Kiyato asked,jumping on Inuyasha's head to look for his ears(A\n:Has someone else done this to human Inuyasha?-_-').

"First,let's decide what to do.Shippo can tell you later."Sango said,prioritising.They all looked at Inuyasha,wondering what to do.

"Kagome,you said the shard seems to be everywhere,right?"Inuyasha asked.When she nodded he continued,"So that means we need to split up.Sango and Miroku,you can take the forests over there.Shippo and Kiyato,you take the village.Try not to attract attention.Kagome and I will check by the stream,and that leaves Kara and Myoga to check the fields.Any questions?"he asked after pointing out each area in turn.

"Yes.What if she,"Myoga pointed at Kara and said,"gets attacked?Uh,I mean what if you need information?"

"Hey!!I'm able to take care of myself!!!"Kara said as she flicked the flea demon across the tent.

"Let's get going then!"Miroku said putting down his cards.The others followed suit,and headed out of the tent.Kara zipped up the flap and put some wood on the fire so it wouldn't totally burn out while they were gone.Then,all of them exept Kagome,Inuyasha,Kara,and Myoga,split up.You had to walk through the field to get to the stream.Kara and Myoga stopped in the field and started to look.Kagome and Inuyasha continued towards the stream,but before they even got there,Myoga came hopping up onto Inuyasha's shoulder.

"There is something wrong with that girl!!"Myoga shouted in his human ear.

"I think we all know that."Inuyasha said as he twirled his finger around his temple and rolled his eyes.Kagome elbowed him in the stomach."That hurt!"Inuyasha said as he rubbed his stomach.

"No,she is doing the stangest things.It's like she's possesed!!!!"Myoga said,waving his arms for emphasis.

Chapter 16:Not Just Psychic

"So,what happened?"Kagome asked Myoga as they walked swiftly to the field.

"She just felt around in this red velvet bag that was at her waist.Then she started to do the strangest things."Myoga said as he hopped from Inuyasha's shoulder to hers.They reached the field and Kara was hopping on one foot acting like a bird,and occasionally she would twirl.There were glowing spheres rotating around her.It was,indeed strange looking.

"Uh,Kara?Are you okay?"Kagome asked as she stepped cautiously towards Kara.

"Sure.I've just lost my marbles!!"Kara said with a smile.

"That's obvious."Inuyasha said in a sarcastic tone.He was elbowed in the stomach once again.

"So,what are you doing?"Kagome asked,pulling her elbow away from Inuyasha's stomach.

"My marble summoning spell.Hold on I'm almost done!!"Kara said as she started to float(A\n:I couldn't resist putting this in.It would be so cool to do!!).Now she was floating in the air in a sitting postion,while the spheres continued to rotate around her.They just now noticed that the spheres where glowing different colors.It then became apparant that the spheres were her marbles.All of a sudden,she began to decend onto the ground while the marbles were shooting into her velvet bag decending next to her.Then she got up out of her sitting position and put her bag back at her waist."So,what's up?"she asked in a "get down to business" voice.

They sweatdropped.-_-'

"What the hell was THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"Inuyasha asked,gesturing to the spot where she previously stood.

"I dropped my marbles from camp to here.I thought ahead earlier and made it so I can summon my marbles.I think I might be telekinetic(A\n:I couldn't resist!!),not just psychic.I made the marbles zoom around me.It was cool."she said all in one breath.

"We're wasting time!Explain later."Inuyasha said shortly as he took Kagome's hand and pulled her back to the stream to search.

"What do you mean psychic?"Myoga asked nervously from her shoulder as they continued to search.

"I can read minds.Now I think I may be telekinetic."Kara said.There wasn't much to search.It was an open field.Same as it had been the day Kiyato came,and same as the day she summoned the demon."Do you think we should help look through the forests?"she asked as she started to walk in that direction.

"The forests provide many places to hide(A\n:These rhymes just happen!!).Uh,I mean,yes.Sango and Miroku could probably use some help."Myoga said.

"In other words,Sango could use a break from Miroku."Kara said,rolling her eyes.

Sure enough,when they found the pair,Miroku had lots of bumps on his head.Sango was fuming.Her face was red(A\n:From anger and embarassment.),and she looked ready to kill.

"Miroku,what's the point of Sango being able to like you if you make her mad all the time?"Kara asked with a sigh.

"What are you guys doing here?I thought you were supposed to be looking in the field."Sango said,turning around.

"Well,there was an incident,and Inuyasha and Kagome went back to seach the river.Then we looked in the field,which needless to say didn't take very long as the field is open space."Myoga explained.

"Incident?"Sango wondered.

"It wasn't that bad.You guys just didn't know what I was doing."Kara said as she rolled her eyes.

"And that would be..."Miroku asked while rubbing his head.

"My marble summoning spell.It's supposed to look crazy,because of that phrase."Kara said.Then she suddenly asked,"Did I mention that I might be telekinetic?"

That last sentence made them stare."How much weirder can you get?"Miroku asked with disbelief.

"THAT was rude!!!"Sango said after smacking him.

"So,telekinetic,huh?Good for you."Miroku said dazedly.

"Uh-Yeah,watch."Kara told them as she pulled out a marble.She concentrated(A\n:I can't concentrate that well in real life.Here I can.)and the marble began to float around her head.Then she floated it back into her marble bag.

"Wow,cool!Can you float heavier things?"Sango asked.

"Probably not yet,but I could practice concentration and get better."Kara said she floated Myoga.

"Hey!!!Let me down!!"Myoga yelled irritatedly.

"Okay.I need to practice later anyway.Right now we should find that demon.I wonder how Kagome and Inuyasha are doing."Kara said,looking in the direction of the stream.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nothing!There's nothing here!"Inuyasha muttered with annoyance.

"Calm down.The others must be doing better."Kagome said soothingly.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"No good.No foreboding presence,no trace, and the demon is a no-show."Kara said,kicking at the dirt.

"What about Shippo and Kiyato?"Sango asked.

"Listen for yourself."Miroku said,gesturing at the village.

"What do you mean listen?"Sango asked with raised eyebrows.

"If the demon were there,there would most likely be screaming and panicing.But all is quiet."he replied."That's why Inuyasha sent them there.They're the least likely to find the demon."

"But,they're demons.Won't they attract a certain degree of attention?"Sango asked doubtfully.

"You're forgetting that their powers allow them to project false forms around themselves.In short,they're illusionists.They should be able to blend in."Miroku explained.

"I suppose.But I have a feeling that everything isn't okay there."Sango said.Then she shivered at the thought of what might be happening.

~~~~~~~~~~~

It was gaining on them.They tried to run faster,but they were almost too tired to run as fast as they were.It seemed to want to keep out of sight as much as they did.They had to run quietly for that reason,and running quietly and fast is by no means easy.Maybe Inuyasha could.It still wouldn't be that easy.And if they didn't do something soon,they would be cornered(A\n:I'm cornered too.What should happen?Oh well.I'll think of something.).

"Shippo,I can't keep this up much longer.What should we do?"Kiyato panted.

"Well,since this isn't your everyday village,they have guards.So we can't just walk out.And I'm not sure if we could get over these walls without them seeing us,either.Walls are all around the city!"Shippo elaborated.

"So we make an excuse to get past the guards.How about that?"Kiyato offered.

"Like?"Shippo asked."Oh no!!"he said as he skidded to a halt.Dead end.Planning quickly,Shippo said,"Throw those rocks over the wall!"

The small pile of rocks was quickly gone.But when the demon turned the corner,there were two large rocks.The demon still stayed in the shadows as it walked away unseen(A\n:Kinda obvious.Sorry.).

Once the demon was gone the rocks moved and two little figures came out from behind them(A\n:Suprise!!-_-').

"I'm going to go warn Kagome.Inuyasha too,I guess.You warn Kara and Myoga,then you can all go warn Sango and Miroku."Shippo told her as he looked quickly around.*pop*And a little pink balloon floated away.

"Okay."she said.*pop*And a little light blue balloon floated away in a different direction.

(A\n:I need to make adjustments to the story.I found some mistakes.You'll see in the chapter after the next.) ------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 17:Dawn*

"Kara,Kara,Kara!!!"Kiyato shouted as she *pop*ed back to normal and came running up to her.Then she sat on her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"Kara asked as she petted Kiyato's head.

"The demon was in the village!!!It chased me and Shippo,and when we got away,he went to warn Inuyasha and Kagome.Then he told me to come and warn you."Kiyato explained.

"I *bonk* TOLD *bonk* YOU *bonk*!!!!"Sango shouted as she hit him with her bone boomerang.

"Let's go make sure it doesn't escape!"Kara said.Then she ran towards the village.Everyone else followed.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha and Kagome were about to give up and go back,when,"Kagome!Demon!Town!" Shippo came floating over to them and he *pop*ed into Kagome's arms.

"Slow down.Take a deep breath.Now,what now?"Kagome said as she was holding him.

"There was a demon chasing me and Kiyato through the town!!"Shippo said,waving his arms.

"Ohhhh,are you okay?"Kagome asked while she gave him a hug.

"The runt is fine!Now let's get that demon!"Inuyasha said.

"What about Kiyato and the others?"Kagome asked Shippo as she followed Inuyasha.

"Kiyato went to warn them.We'll probably see them there."Shippo said.

"I'm proud of how well you handled this,Shippo."Kagome told him.That made Shippo look proud.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where was it?"Myoga asked.They were swiftly,yet casually,walking through the town.They had waited for Inuyasha and Kagome at the entrance for a while but then they figured Shippo was still getting them.

"I forget.We were sorta running blindly."Kiyato said uneasily.

They sweatdropped.-_-'

"Wait,I remember that corner!It leads to the alley we were running in!!"Kiyato shouted."We have to walk a while till we get to the dead end.We should be quiet.The demon might have come back to look for us."

"Good idea."Sango said as they walked silently down the alley.

"Up there is the dead end."Kiyato said pointing to a corner up ahead aways.

They walked for a while,until Miroku whispered,"I see it.We're coming closer....and does anyone else hear voices?"

"Yeah,loud voices.Shhh,listen."Kara said as they all leaned in to hear the voices.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where did the rocks go?!?!?!?!?!?!"Shippo asked,looking around.

"Where were they in the first place,you little pipsqueak?!?!?!?!"Inuyasha shouted as he shook Shippo rapidly.

"Hey!"Kagome yelled as she took Shippo away from him."Just because you're more testy during a new moon,doesn't mean you get to take it out on Shippo!!!"

"He asked us where the rocks went!!!!What a stupid question!!"Inuyasha yelled right back at her.

"He was thinking out loud!!!!You can't think at all you moron!"Kagome said as her famous temper flared up.

"Do you mean that?"Inuyasha said,slightly hurt.

"Well,no.But your attitude is really bugging me!Can you try to be pleasant?"Kagome asked in a pleading tone.

"Fine,bitc-Kagome."Inuyasha responded with sigh.

Kagome sweatdropped and said,"Thanks,I appreacate(Sp?)the effort."

"Inuyasha started to show effort!!Now he and Kagome can stop fighting so much!!"Sango said gleefully.They were not watching anymore,but talking to each other.

"Don't get your hopes up.Once Inuyasha gets things to go good for him,he usually throws in some rude remark and Kagome goes running home.He almost always screws things up between him and Kagome."Miroku warned her.

"I do not!!!"Inuyasha said as he came around the corner."Like all those things with Koga.They weren't my fault.He came where he wasn't wanted."

"Inuyasha,don't get so upset!"Kagome said.

Inuyasha's hair was turning white,his ears were normal again(A\n:EARS,EARS,EARS!!!),and his eyes changed back to amber.

"I think it's dawn."Miroku said while he yawned and stretched.

"What was your first clue?"Inuyasha said,rolling his eyes.

"Let's go back to the camp and sleep at least an hour and forever."Kiyato said,stifling a yawn(A\n:She's soooo cute!!!).

"Sounds good to me."Kara said,shrugging her shoulders and heading in that direction.

*While writing this chapter,I got book #17,I do belive.Pats for Patrick!!**

Chapter 18:Back to Normal?

"Hey,Kagome!Mom told me to get you up,or else you're gonna be late for school!"Sota shouted from the bottom of the stairs.

Kagome was confused.~Wasn't I just in the feudal era?Did I have some sort of fight with Inuyasha?Why wouldn't I remember it then?Oh,this is soooo confusing!~

She hastily got out of bed and got ready.She was pulling on a shoe as she hopped down the stairs,and her family was eating breakfast in the normal fashion.Which meant her grandpa was rambling on about old things.

"The Shikon Jewel will give one's family safety and prosperity.That's why I got these boxes full of them for our little shop.Not many people are needing exorcisms these days,and nobody seems to want to contact the gods.Maybe people will be interested in hearing the legend if they buy one."Kagome heard her grandpa saying.When he saw her, he asked,"Would you like to hear it's legend,Kagome?"

"I already know more about it then you do."Kagome said,thinking the man must be going senile."And you better not have told my school I have some gross or embarassing disease!"

The old man was confused."No,why would I do that?"

Kagome tried not to sweatdrop."Forget it.I need some breakfast."She got some Pop-Tarts(A\n:Yes,they might not have these in Japan.I just had some at Hannah's house.It was fun because we rented movies...and I'm betting you'd rather that I get back to the story.)and sat down and started to think as she ate.

~What in the world is going on here?Maybe I-~

Her thoughts were cut off by Sota running after the fat family cat shouting,"Buyo,come back!I have to make sure you're in my room before school!Hey,don't you dare go outside!NO!Come back here!!"

Sota was chasing Buyo all over the shrine when Kagome came running outside,almost going to be late for school.As she ran by the wellhouse,she decided to pick up speed in case Inuyasha smelled her on the other side.She probably had tons of homework to do so she didn't want Inuyasha dragging her back on the shard hunt.She was dashing down the stairs while Sota was yelling for her to come back and help him.She ignored him,thinking that this was a very familliar morning.It was a whole bunch of deja`-vu.

She had a shock when she got to school.She had no make-up work to do,no tests to make-up for,no diseases at all,and her friends told her they saw her yesterday.She went through the day like nothing was wrong,and then she raced home to ask her mother what in the world was going on.

She came running through door and ran into the kitchen to find her mother icing a cake."What's the cake for?"Kagome asked,still regaining her breath.

Her mother gave her a strange look and said,"Honey,have you forgotten?You turned 15 today!"

Kagome stared at her in shock."I've BEEN 15 for quite some time now!I've been 15 since that centipede demon dragged me down the well!I've been 15 for all the time I've been hunting for those shards!"

Now it was her mom's turn to stare."What are you talking about?Look at the calander if you don't belive me."

Kagome's heart started to thump.It WAS her birthday,and she must have missed the centipede woman.It was the day she got dragged down the well,the day where she met Inuyasha,and she realized now that she LIKED shard hunting.

Meeting Inuyasha was part of who she was now.She liked knowing Sango,Miroku,Shippo,Kiyato,and Kara.Sure,she had school and stuff,but saving people and helping her friends was more important.

But she realized that her shot at that was over.If it would only come back,she wouldn't go home as often.She would try harder to get along with Inuyasha,but her chance just had to come back!!!

Chapter 19:More Marbles

Kagome woke up.Her heart was thumping more wildly than it had been in her dream.Looking around,she noticed it was about the time they usually got up.She thanked God for another chance.

Without giving it a second thought,she ran over to Inuyasha and gave him a bone(human bones)crunching hug.

"AAHHHHH!!!"Inuyasha shouted at the sudden pressure on him.He looked down and asked,"Kagome,what's the matter?"

His shout had woken everyone else up,and there was yawning aplenty.

"What did you wake us up for?Hey,I have an idea for another elemental marble!I had an idea for another new marble a while back."Kara said,Kiyato on her shoulder.

She went over to her bag and she pulled out a handful of rainbow marbles and put them in her marble bag.

"What were those marbles for?"Sango asked.Kara's bag was getting pretty full of marbles,and she had only given a rough description of what some could do.

"Energy.And I can't tell you the other new one yet.All will be revealed in due time."Kara said mysteriously.They all gave her a strange look,but then they shook it off.

"Now,Kagome,what's up?Why the hugging all of a sudden?"Miroku asked,raising an eyebrow and winking at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha turned crimson(Sp?)(A\n:I couldn't make him blush in the last chapter,or the chapter before that,so I have more blushing to make up for.).

"I had the most terrible dream.It was the day I got dragged down the well,only I didn't in my dream.I just realized that I like having adventures while going shard hunting.All of this,"Kagome gestured to the world around them,"is part of who I am now.All of you are part of my life.It was so scary thinking you guys were gone forever!!"

"It was only a dream."Shippo said as he went to make her feel better.Kagome let go of Inuyasha and hugged Shippo.

"I think I remember some sort of dream a couple of days ago.I think it was about Monty Python.Don't ask.It was kinda weird,and I know where it came from.It really doesn't relate to your dream,I just thought I should mention it."Kara said uncertainly.

"So you really LIKE staying here?"Inuyasha asked while he looked at his lap.

"Of course!But every once in a while,I have to do tests and homework and crud."Kagome assured him.

"We should eat some breakfast."Kara said,pulling some pancake mix,syrup,and of course,dishes out of her bag.

"While breakfast is getting ready,can you show us how the energy marble works?"Kiyato asked from Kara's shoulder.

"Sure.The energy marble needs to just be thrown forcefully at someone,and then it gives them a temporary energy boost."Kara said as she threw it at Shippo.

"Hey,that hurt!!!But I'm feeling it!"Shippo shouted as he started to play tag with his friend. "Let me even out that game."Kara said as she threw another marble at Kiyato.

Soon they were running around like little maniacs."It's safe to say that marble works.I'll try the other new one later."

"That should prove interesting."Miroku said,thinking of what was to come.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
