pDisclaimer: I (sadly) do not own Inuyasha & co. Stop trying to sue me, you'll get my WH uniform and a couch... that's it!

pOverview & Warnings: Characters are EXTREMELY OOC. The gang has finally defeated Naraku. They are about to be introduced to one of Kagome's favorite dark pastimes: Acid, X, and refer, as well as a little surprise about her past. This fic is about to become a greatly amusing romp with pent-up emotions, drug induced craziness, and citrus. The product of a random thought process one night at home. Enjoy.

pChapter 1

pFeudal Era: Japan. Inuyasha's woods.

p

pSeated in his usual position in the tree, watching silently over her, Inuyahsa sighed. A silent, cool breeze overtook the expance of the opening in the depths of the forrest. he sniffed at the air, 'Kikyo...' Kagome sat proped at the base of the large cherry tree, its blossoms filling the air with a soft, sweet scent. She glanced up at the object of her affection. The past three years were spent the same each day. Inuyahsa would sit and watch over her, she would wish she knew his thoughts. They would argue and appologize, laugh and relax. She would return home now only for the weekend, only to stock up on ramen for her hanyou, SweetTarts for Shippo, Zanax for Sango, and asprin for the monk. Smiling slightly, she rose from her place as the hanyou's ears twitched toward her. He removed himself from his spot, landing before Kagome. 'My Kagome...'

p"Are you ready to return to your time?" Inuyasha's eyes flashed a look of sadness. 'I hate it when she leaves. Even if it's just for a few days.' She nodded, catching the look in his golden orbs. She knew what he thought. Her miko sences picked up on his slouch, tone, and mental struggles. She knew he hated her leaving, it was like this everytime. He told her once, 'It's not that I don't want you to go. I just want to be there with you, so I know that I can protect you. I wouldn't forgive myself if you were ever harmed.' She sighed.

p'Maybe I should ask him to come with me...' He scoped her onto his back. She enjoyed riding like this. Inuyasha's back muscle tightening, moving, flowing. He was her obsession. Her heart, but he would never know. Not until he showed her how he felt, and proved that he did not want, nor love, Kikyo. "Inu, would you like to come with me this time?" she questioned innocently. His ears perked up from thier prior position flat against his head. They landed gently on the ground in front of the well.

p"Feh... If you would like, wench."

pHer eyes filled with hurt and pain. "Fine!" she shouted, "Go ahead and stay then! I don't need you! I'm going home and I will be back Monday! And just leave me be, Inuyasha!" She stormed off and jumped in the well before Inuyasha could respond.

p"Kagome! Wait! Kag...?" he yelled after her. His ears flattened out again. 'Damn woman, don't cry over me. I'm a baka, I'm sorry Kagome, but this time I'm not going to listen.' With that thought he bounded into the well after his Kagome.

pPresent: Tokyo, Japan. Shrine.

p

pShe ran from the well. Past her confused Grandfather, past her mother and little brother, up and into her room. Throwing the backpack she carried into a corner, she move to sit on her bed. She sighed and calmed herself as she put in a CD. The sounds of the music filled the room as the slowed pace of Sublime songs filled her head. "The American's have the greatest stoner music," she spoke absently to herself. She reached into her dresser, pulling out a small carved wooden box. Locking her door and opening her window, she rolled a fattie and planted herself in front of her computer. Lighting her 'stress relief' and taking a long draw, she peered at her screen. Mail from colleges trying to make her join, grade results for her senior finals, and SPAM!

pInuyasha climbed the tree outside of her window. Catching a wiff of an odd smelling smoke, he jumped into Kagome's room, scaring the hell out of a very stoned miko. She looked up into his golden orbs, her own carmel eyes, hazy with a red tinge to them. "What are you doing, Kagome?" He looked down on her as she blinked at him.

p'He dosen't know,' she thought, "this could be fun. We are so going home now,WITH my "happy box."' She smiled at him, passing him the smoking substance, "Here, put it to your lips, and inhale while you suck slowly. Hold your breath for a few seconds and exhale. You should like the feeling you'll get in a few seconds." She spoke softly with a wonderful expression on her face. He half expecter her to "sit" him, and was greatly surprised when she simply smiled and passed him the joint. He did as she instructed, and soon was in the same state as the miko in front of him. Feeling at ease with her there, he draped an arm around her as they sat on her bed, simply listening to the music around them.

p"Kagome, what is this feeling? I feel so lazy and laid back. And I'm really, really friggin' hungry," he stated with a lopsided grin. His ears twitching randomly, his golden orbs hazy pools of feeling. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "And if you don't find me something to eat, I will end up eating you, my dear." She gasped, looking at him and realizing that he meant her no harm, but instead meaning what she most wanted. He was letting go, asking her in his own way to be his.

p"And waht if I don't get you something to eat? What will you do?" She questioned, smirking. She was letting go of her inhabitions, giving in to her feelings, which were officially reciprocated when Inuyasha leaned in and captured his lips with his own. His arms encircling her as she gripped his body, running a tentative finger over his puppy ears, elicting a slight moan from his lips.

p"Kagome..." he sighed into her mouth. Breaking the embrace she took his hand, leading him to the kitchen to gather supplies. Packing her bag, she bid farewell to her family as she and the hanyou disappeared in to the well. Within the confines of her backpack sat her 'happy box'. With everything she needed for everyone to have a crazy week in the woods.

pFeudal Era: Japan. Bone Eaters Well

p

pKagome and Inuyasha sped through the woods back to the camp. There Shippo, Sango, and Miroku stood waiting for them. As the young hanyou landed, releasing Kagome from his arms, she addressed her friends with a solomn question. "Are you ready to lose your inhabitions? Are you ready for a little fun vacation of sorts? If you are, come with us." she stood waiting for a response as Inuyasha took her hand.

p"I'm in..." he stated. His eyes flickering and ears twitching slightly.

pSango, Miroku, and Shippo noted the sudden change in attitude in the two and decided that they would join to see where it progressed too.

p"We're in as well. What are we going to do? And where?" Sango inquired. Kagome and Inuyasha smirked.

p"In the woods. I know this spot that would be perfect," Inuyasha spoke up. "No one will find us for days, and considering Naraku was defeated, we will be fine." All nodded and began following the hanyou.

pAfter traveling for a few hours, they arrived in an open circle, deep in the woods. Far away from all of humanity. A waterfall and great pool stood majesticaly before them. Soon they set to work gathering wood for a fire, set up tents and sleeping bags, and settled in. Kagome opened her bag and pulled out her 'happy box' and explained the contents. "This is why I brought all of you here. Because I trust you and you have taught me so much, I wanted to find a fun way to relax us all. Everyone has a dark side and this just happens to be part of mine." She dug in the box for a moment and pulled out three different bags and a pack of papers. "This," she said holding up a bag containing a greenish plant-like substance, "is marajuanna. Otherwise known as refer, pot, green, and other such names. It is smoked and induces a calming, yet confusing feeling. accompanied by an unconttrolabe need to eat. Otherwise known as 'the munchies'." Kagome paused, looking at her friends to see if they understood. They seemes as though they understood and she continued, pulling out yet another bag, containing what seemed to be a clear piece of parchment.

p"These are acid paper hits. You can put them in your mouth or eyes. They disolve and create a wild, free feeling with no inhabitions. Your mind then opens allowing in halucinations, where you will think you are seeing something and it is not really happening, your brain thinks it is." She paused, putting down the bag and pulling out the last bag. "And this," she spoke pointing to the pills in the bag, "are extacy. They make you feel like you are very happy. You beging to love everyone around you and your sense of touch is amplified, so everything feels really, really good. You will want to just sit with someone and pet eachother. It just feels really good."

pInuyasha looked at her , smiling slightly. 'So if I get her to take some of that, she will like me touching her. I know how she feels and I know how I feel, so what is holding us back? I love her and this will be the time to tell her. To show her.' The hanyou grinned at her and pawed for the bag of X. Nudging her slightly he dropped three of the X (tripple stacks) down her throat. Followed by her doing the same to him. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo also took some, followed by two or three acid hits and finally ended with Kagome rolling a fattie, passing it around to her friends. Soon to begin their adventure.
