Chapter 2: They Didn't Mention Hanyous in the Survival Handbook!

Three days went by, and the tension between the groups of strangers only thickened.

Miroku had more red hand prints on his face than any normal human being could count. Sango's arm and hand had seemed to have stayed in a slapping position. InuYasha and Kagome had begun to lose their voices from the constant bickering. Surprisingly, however, they managed to get many things done.

When InuYasha and Kagome had finished fighting the first day, they got to work, finally. InuYasha had somehow managed to move the plane from its landing zone to near the fire pit they built on the beach. While Kagome and Sango searched for any food stubs on the plane, Miroku and InuYasha went searching for a clean water source, and found one not too far from "base camp" and cleared a trail. It was a little spring with a medium size waterfall flowing in from the small dormant volcano which comprised most of the island.

Sleeping quarters had been tough to determine, as Miroku wanted them to just sleep next to each other, rather than separate. Unfortunately for him, everyone else did not wish to do so, and so they divided the inside of the plane in half, putting up a curtain made of palm tree leaves to mark the border. To make more room, InuYasha and Miroku removed most of the seats inside the plane and put them around the fire pit for seating.

But, these completed tasks did not make things any easier. They still had to be in each other's company. And what was worse was that the entire front of the plane had been eaten away by flames, meaning any chance of using a radio had been eradicated. Three days, seemed like a life time to Kagome, especially with InuYasha around.

Kagome was gathering wood for the fire, while InuYasha was sitting in one of the airplane seats, reclined on the beach. Miroku was gathering palm tree leaves to patch up holes in the plane for when it rained, being assisted by the watchful eye of Sango. Kagome looked over at him in disgust. Everyone else was doing something, why couldn't he?

She dropped her pile of sticks and such and stormed over to him.

"Who do you think you are! Get off your ass and do something!" Kagome shouted, apparently waking him from a small nap. It seemed to have energized him enough to compete against Kagome.

"Make me, wench!" he replied, adjusting himself comfortably in the chair. He pulled his hat to cover his face from the sun, and fixed his sunglasses. Kagome had had it.

She went into the plane and found a plastic container which was full of ice. She emptied the ice into another container, and stormed to the ocean. She filled the container with water, which was seemingly cold. She smirked as she made her way towards InuYasha, who had gone back to his nap.

Try this, rich boy! She thought, as she now stood beside him. She lifted the container, and threw the water in InuYasha's direction.

Splash!

InuYasha jumped out of the chair immediately. He was soaked from head to toe.

"Look what you did, bitch!" he yelled. Kagome snickered.

"Oh, good, you're up. I'm sure Miroku and Sango need help patching the plane," Kagome said, smiling. She turned around to put the container where she found it. Miroku and Sango were laughing as they witnessed Kagome's interesting prank. InuYasha was pissed.

He began devising his revenge as he made his way towards the plane.

Nights on the island had been humid, but quiet. At least, they were. The fire still burned as everyone went to bed. It was now InuYasha's chance at payback.

Kagome struggled to find comfort while she tried to go to sleep. She was satisfied with the day's events. It was about time someone stood up to that jerk! She sighed and closed her eyes.

InuYasha waited a few minutes before putting his ultimate revenge into action. He checked to make sure Miroku was sleeping, and heard if there was any motion on the other half of the plane. When he felt he was safe to move, he got up. He sneaked to the small door that had been constructed when they first arrived. As he tried to open it, it made a squeaking sound. Miroku stirred. InuYasha froze in his tracks.

"Where you going…?" Miroku mumbled.

"Just to the bathroom," InuYasha whispered, and Miroku rolled back over. InuYasha wiped the sweat on his forehead, and made his way outside.

Once on the beach, he sniggered to himself about how brilliant his plan was. He searched along the border of the beach and the jungle and found what he was looking for. The little spider was pretty cute, and didn't understand why girls found them so disgusting. It squirmed in InuYasha's hand, as he recalled what happened only a day ago.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Everyone looked towards the direction of Kagome's voice. She was running in their direction, with a horrid expression on her face. Only Sango recognized it for what it was.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Miroku asked. Kagome tried to catch her breath.

"Sp-sp-sp-sp…" she sputtered. Sango finished her sentence.

"Spider. Kagome is deathly afraid of spiders," she explained. Kagome shuddered as Sango spoke.

"It was huge! And hairy! It was disgusting!" Kagome panted, holding herself tightly, "it was this big!" She demonstrated using her hands, making the size of a golf ball.

"Feh, that's nothing! Jeese, you're such a scaredy cat!" InuYasha retorted.

"Shut up, ass!" Kagome shouted back.

Yes, revenge would be sweet. He looked in the opening on the girls' side. They seemed to be sound asleep. He held in his laughter, and went to the task at hand.

He moved silently towards Kagome, when he felt a small pain in his head. It had been hurting for the past three days, but InuYasha felt it was just a headache from that stupid girl.

Kagome was sleeping soundly at this point. Sango was breathing heavily, making slapping motions in her sleep. She even couldn't stand him in her dreams.

InuYasha put his hand above Kagome's legs. At that moment, his conscience seemed to interfere.

Don't do it! He retracted his hand.

Why not? She's a bitch! He put his hand back into position.

Two wrongs don't make a right! He removed his hand again.

Who cares? It's not like I'm going to hurt her! It's just a stupid spider!

But she's afraid of spiders, very DANGEROUSLY afraid of spiders!

Oh well, she can suck it up!

But what if she goes into a serious shock? She COULD get hurt!

He argued with himself for the next two minutes. The spider had stopped moving, giving up any hopes of escaping InuYasha's grasp. His head was hurting more than ever, especially where the cut on his head was.

"Fuck!" he said out loud, unable to make a decision. Kagome stirred.

Oh shit, I'm screwed! InuYasha thought. Kagome opened her eyes.

"Wh…what are you doing?" she asked drearily. She noticed his clasped hand above her legs. There was something…moving! It dawned on her.

"Oh my God!" she screamed, moving away from him. Sango opened her eyes, to find out what was going on. She looked at InuYasha in a dazed confusion, and then looked at what Kagome was trying to hide from. Miroku lifted the curtain of palm leaves separating the sleeping quarters. He rubbed his eyes, as if being awoken from a deep slumber.

Sango went to comfort her friend. She turned to InuYasha.

"Leave! Get that thing out of here!" she said, with an if-not-I'm-going-to-kick-your-ass look on her face. InuYasha glared at her, but did as she was told. Kagome was in tears now.

InuYasha left the plane. He threw the spider back into the jungle, wiping his hand on the side of his pants. He massaged his head with the other. He had felt his first twinge of guilt since he arrived on the island.

Kagome stormed out to confront InuYasha. He had gone too far. She thanked the gods that she woke up when she did. She also asked them for the strength to give him an ass-whooping.

"You! How dare you! You have no idea how angry and scared I am right now! You better pray for a miracle, because once I'm finished with you, you'll need one! You stupid bas—"

"Look, I'm sor—" Twap!

Kagome slapped him. She didn't mean to slap so hard, but she did. His hat and the sunglasses he always wore (even during the night) flew off his head. Kagome gasped at what she saw. InuYasha stood in shock, knowing that his secret had been exposed to complete strangers.

Sango and Miroku were watching from afar. Sango gaped, and Miroku sighed.

They were bound to find out eventually, Miroku thought.

A pair of gold eyes now had been stuck onto Kagome, and a pair of white dog ears had twitched in reaction to the small breeze. A huge cut had also occupied half his forehead, which was now bleeding slightly.

"Oh my God…" Kagome whispered.

"You happy now?" InuYasha said back. Kagome backed away.

"Sango, can you get me the first aid kit?" Kagome called. Sango nodded and went back into the plane. InuYasha stood there.

Doesn't she see? InuYasha thought as Kagome returned with the first aid kit. Miroku and Sango retired back into their beds.

"That's a nasty cut," she said, taking a hold of his arm and dragging him to the fire pit, forcing him to sit in a chair next to her. He felt slightly uncomfortable with her touching him like this. She opened the first aid kit.

"What are you doing, stupid wench?" he asked. Kagome was rummaging through the first aid kit. She pulled out cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol.

"It's Kagome. I'm cleaning that cut. It looks infected," she replied, no emotion on her face, but a hint of concern in her voice.

"It's fine. I don't need you to take care of me," he spat back. She opened the bottle of rubbing alcohol. The stench made InuYasha's nose wretch.

"Sure. That's why you've been massaging your head," she simply answered, leaning forward to dab the cotton swab on his cut. He leaned away in defiance.

"No! That stuff stinks!" he complained. She grabbed him firmly by the shoulders, pulling him towards her. She looked him in the eyes.

"We need to get that cut cleaned, or you could be in serious trouble," she replied, now tenderly holding his face, gently dabbing the cotton swab on the cut. He winced slightly as the alcohol stung against the open wound. Kagome, taking notice to this, blew on it lightly, putting her other hand on his face. He looked into her eyes, and she looked into his. Her hands felt warm against his face. For the first time, neither of them felt anger towards each other.

When things became uncomfortable for the two, they looked away. Kagome removed her hands from her face, and continued cleaning the cut. InuYasha cleared his throat.

"So, you know that I'm a hanyou, right?" InuYasha asked. Kagome continued cleaning, showing no reaction.

"I kinda figured it out, after seeing the ears and all," she replied, pulling out a roll of gauge, "I actually dated a youkai once, so it doesn't really bother me. Besides, you're ears are pretty cute," She looked up at his ears and smiled. InuYasha blushed slightly.

"Th-their just ears," he replied bluntly. Kagome giggled quietly.

Afterwards, they didn't say much. The only sound they heard was Sango screaming, and yet another twap echoing through the night.

Meanwhile, in civilization, a young woman looked down at the busy life on the street below. Tokyo streets were always busy at this time of night. She enjoyed looking down on some of the lower lives from fifty stories up. A phone ringing broke her deep thought. She picked it up.

"Hello?"

"It's all been taken care of. By tomorrow, the company should be yours," the man named Musou said on the other end.

"That's good to know. And the perverted friend of his…?"

"Also destroyed. There were also two other women, but I doubt they will be missed. Kagura erased their records from the flight," Musou explained.

"Excellent. I'll see you get your payment,"

"You better," he replied, hanging up. She did the same.

Excellent. Now that InuYasha's out of the picture, the company will be mine, and I no longer have to be in that relationship! She thought, when there was a knocking at the door. She turned around. There was a male with long dark hair, with crimson-like eyes. She walked over, and hugged him, giving him a light kiss on the lips.

"Hey, Naraku, can't wait to tell you the news," she said, a small evil smile on her face. His smiled was more wicked than hers, and she loved it.

"Can't wait to hear it…Kikyo,"
