Souta eyed Kagome's bed doubtfully. "I dunno, neechan. I don't think it all will fit."

"No?" Kagome tapped a finger against her chin, looking down at the supplies she'd carefully laid out on her comforter. "Well...maybe not."

She sat on a corner of the mattress, pulling her yellow backpack onto her knees. "The first aid kit is a must," she said, stowing it in the bag. "Three changes of socks and underwear. An extra set of clothes--just in case." An old uniform followed the socks and undergarments into the bag. "Let's see...snacks, instant noodles, candy for Shippou–"

"Do you really need that? Couldn't Inu-no-niichan hunt down a deer or something?

Kagome shook her head absently and continued, packing each item as she called it off on her verbal checklist. Finally she stuffed a small bottle of shampoo into the already bulging backpack and groaned.

"Told you," Souta said cheerfully.

She sighed, giving the pile of books that remained a dubious look. "I think I can fit one of them. Maybe."

"Better take the algebra book, then," Souta offered. "Your teacher said there's a test next week."
