Inu-chan: You should!

HnA: Are you trying to make me feel more guilty than I already do? Cuz it really aint working!

Payment
By Hentai no Ai
The Village of Sekks

Was it normal for people to be doing that all over the place? Was it even sanitary?

Kagome was walking through the village, trying to watch in front of herself and behind. Shippo was held tightly against her chest with his poor, poor virgin eyes closed tightly.

"Uhn…" Kagome's face was beginning to resemble a cherry, a very red and innocent cherry that didn't belong where it was at the moment. There were demons, hanyous, and humans doing… it all over the place.

"Faster!" Kagome's eyes widened and she saw inn with a sign that read Ai Inn (Get it? Love Inn... Lovin')and raced for it as fast as she could.

"Hello?" Kagome looked around the bar that served as the inn's lobby.

"Yes?" The man behind the counter asked.

"Um, do you have a ro-"

"Hold on." The man walked out from behind the counter and out the door. Kagome stood there for ten minutes until a rather large woman with a bush of gray hair came in and went behind the counter and grinned at her.

"Hello! I am Honto and this is my inn!" She said with her arms swinging all the while.

"Really?" Kagome's face showed her confusion.

"Yes?"

"No, I asked you question."

"What was your question?"

"Is Really really your name?"

"No!" She yelled somewhat angrily.

"Oh, but you said-" Kagome started innocently until she was cut off.

"Honto is my name! Not Honto honto!"

"… Never mind. Do you have a room?"

"Do you have money?"

"Er, no."

"Then I don't have a room."

"We can't stay out there!" Honto looked at Shippo who was previously hiding in Kagome's bag and gasped.

"Well aren't you the cutest little kitsune ever?"

"Where!" A female demon was suddenly beside Kagome and looking all over the place.

"Ah, Mizu!" Honto smiled brightly at the water demon. "This is…"

"Kagome." She said slightly frightened.

"Kagome and the cute little kitsune I was talking about is…"

"Shippo." He squeaked.

"Oh," Mizu threw a disappointed glance at Shippo and huffed.

"I think we'll just go…"

"No, no!" Honto said. "You can stay if Shippo will be with you."

"Really?"

"Yes?"

"Er… I mean, thanks!" Kagome smiled brightly. "Which way to the room?"

"Wait. You can stay but you still have to pay a price."

"But I don't have any money."

"I know…" Honto put a chubby hand on her chin. "Ah, I know what you can do! I'm short of girls today so you can take a job for me."

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "A job? Doing what?"

Mizu laughed and Honto stared at her in disbelief then cleared her throat, "I need you to pleasure someone."

"You mean like a massage?"

Mizu watched Kagome's face before laughing hysterically while Honto said, "No, I mean pleasure them." Honto took a closer look at Kagome before asking, "You do know what sex is right?"

Kagome realized what she meant and said, "I can't do that! I'm only 16!"

"I'm surprised you haven't done anything yet," Mizu said. "You must have been one sheltered child."

"I'm not sheltered! I just don't do that stuff..."

"Well, if you don't do that stuff I don't think I can give you a room." Honto said giving her an apologetic smile.

"But..." Kagome looked at Shippo who was staring out the door of the inn with a surprised look. He turned to her and asked, "Can you bend like that Kagome?"

"Oh no..." Kagome shook her head and looked back to Honto. "I'll do it."

"Okay!" The bright and enthusiastic smile appeared once again on the woman's face. She turned to Mizu and said, "Show Kagome to Mr. Difficulty."

Mizu's eyebrows raised in surprise, "She won't be able to get the job right with him."

"She has to try." She turned away from them and started into a room behind herbut stopped before saying, "And if she doesn't get it right after the first try, she'll keep doing it until she gets it right."

"All this just to stay one night..." Kagome sat in the middle of a room filled with candles in a very uncomfotable kimono. After Mizu had made her over to look like a geisha and took Shippo into a room down the hall where he fell asleep immediately, she told Kagome to stay in the room and wait until her 'Mr. Difficulty' came. She figured that wasn't really his name but was still confused as to why he would be called Mr. Difficulty.

She stood up and went over to a window and looked up to the moonlit sky. Without the future lights and pollution to cloud it, the sky was dark and full of stars. She looked down and was surprised to see the ground clear of intimate couples. She drew her eyesback to the stars and tried to remember the consolations but before she could really think about them she heard the door slide open. Her mouth opened slightly and her eyebrows rose in surprise when she turned to see, "Miroku?"

AN: Did any of you seriously think I was going to take it any farther? Cause if you did that's really sad.

Inu-chan: Why do you taunt them and then cry and get all pissed when you don't get any reviews?

HnA: Because flaunting my power over this story to them shouldn't effect the feedback I get from them.

Juicy: And yet it does, dipshit.

Inu-chan: turning to Juicy Do you honestly have to curse in every other sentence?

Juicy: Yeah, bitch. What about it?

Inu-chan: Who the hell are you calling a bitch!

Juicy: Hmm... puts hand on chin You!

Inu-chan: jumps I'm gonna kill you she and Juicy begin to fight

HnA: What th fuck...?

J-Boi: I'm not saying anything.

HnA: You better not, you and your imaginary friends (seriously, he's a muse so of course all his friends are imaginary) will be forced to strip yet again.

J-Boi: I know...

Amaris-11: So do I, can't write with people all around me. But This will most likely take only 10 chapters or a few more. Sorry, but I already wrote a guideline for this and I have to stick to it or else the story will make absolutely no sense.

Fainus: Thank you, Kikyo is everyone's enemy. She needs to die alreay but that episode won't be coming on anytime soon... Wait... How the hell did you review for the same chapter twice!

blackrosebunny: It's in this chapter... If you haven't noticed yet. And thanks

Fawnie: You know you shouldn't really tell me you're easily amused. That's like you're say this story is crap but you still like it.

Addanc-TSC: Okay...

Kita the Hanyou: Thank you and sorry

punkgoddess: bursts into tears from guilt

renegadefuzz: I am going to finish this, I just couldn't before since I didn't have my computer which had this chapter on it and I didn't want to change what I had written so I didn't try to replace this copy.

sesshy'zgurl: Thank you for two things. Reviewing and being the 100th person to add me to your author alert list! Yay! Go you!

HnA: You know what sucks?

J-Boi: The fact that those two are just rolling around pulling each other's hair out?

HnA: Well... that, too. But the fact the I had to wait close up 9 months to update and yet I only got 15 reviews for one chapter.

J-Boi: looks at her strangly as she walks away sadly Greedy... Review!
