In the Haven
"Cheaters." Koga grumbled.
Becca and Tara laughed from their positions on the boys.
Becca, who was on Koga's back, and Tara who was still in Inuyasha's arms as the four people got nearer to the center of the Glade.
Lori poked her head out of the vine door.
"Will you guys hurry up? Slow pokes! Geez!" She said with a grin.
Becca and Tara growled.
"You are asking for it missy." They said in unison.
Loro grinned wider.
"Whatcha guna do about it?" She taunted.
"That's it!" Becca cried, jumping away from Koga and charging after a screaming Lori.
Koga was laughing his head off as he stumbled after the two girls.
Tara giggled.
"Mature aren't they?" she asked.
"You have no idea." Inuyasha said with a grin and a roll of his eyes.
Tara laughed again.
Inuyasha gently put her down.
"How did you know we were the dogs?" he asked her.
Tara raised an eyebrow.
"That was random." She said but answered the question.
"It wasn't really all that difficult." She put her forehead to his.
"Actually your eyes gave it away." she said with a smile.
"Darn. And I thought we were being so sneaky." Inuyasha said.
Tara giggled and took his hand.
"Let's go see what torturous thing Becca did to Lori." she said as though mentioning the weather.
A wicked grin crossed Inuyasha's face and they slipped into the hidden center of the Glade.
Tara's eyes glowed at the sight.
Sesshomaru stood casually leaning next to the staircase, watching as Becca tickle-tortured Lori, who was rolling on the ground.
She shrieked and giggled as Becca attacked her.
Koga lay a few feet away, proped up on one elbow with his legs stretched out, watching the girls with a very wide grin.
Tara suddenly got an idea and touched Inuyasha's arm.
"Whatch this." she said with a smirk.
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms as Tara's grin fell off her face, being replaced with a cold scowl.
"Becca! Enough of this!" she yelled, stomping furiously up to the girls on the ground.
The three guys stared in shock at her, even Becca looked surprised.
"How could you do this to Lori?" Tara demanded, pointed firmly at Lori who smirked smugly at Becca.
"You're just doing this all wrong! This is how you do it!" she cried, the scowl instantly falling away as she joined in Lori's torture.
After a few minutes of torment, the girls collapsed beside each other, out of breath.
"Truce?" Becca asked.
"Truce." Lori and Tara agreed.
The guys chickled came to lay down beside them, squeezing in between them.
So, lying boy-girl-boy-girl, each couple holding hands, they all stared up at the canopy.
As night slowly fell, the Glade was peaceful. More than peaceful actually, it was...happy.
A gentle breeze brushed past them, lifting their hair and tossing it playfully around, carressing their faces.
Tara spoke softly.
"Funny isn't it? this morning we were being kidnapped, and now we're lying here together." She said, a blissful smile crossing her lips.
"It's the way things are meant to be." They heard Sesshomaru say, his deep, smooth voice strangely without it's usual cold tint.
"It's all so perfect isn't it?" Becca asked.
"Hey don't jinx it." Tara said jokingly. "Something bad might happen.
No sooner than she had said this, her cell phone rang.
They all shot up, knowing from experience that Tara's darn phone never brought good news.
Brows creased in worry, she hesitantly flipped the phone open and put it on speaker.
"Hello?" she asked nervously.
"Tara? It's Dad."
Tara's face went cold and her body went rigid. Inuyasha put his arms around her as the others drew close in a circle.
"What do you want?" she demanded.
"Calm down Tara, let me explain."
"Calm down?! You betrayed my trust! You tried to take...one of the most important people in my life! And you want me to calm down?!" She yelled into the phone, tears of frustration, all the pent up anger and fear rushing through her.
"Tara I...I was only trying to protect you...I didn't know..." her father said, his deep voice breaking with emotion.
"Listen...Your mother and I, as well as Becca and Lori's parents want to make this up to you. We're all going to take a vacation!" Her dad's voice sounded almost desperate.
The girls shared a glance.
"Where?" Tara asked shortly.
Her Dad sighed softly in relief that she was even still on the line.
"Up in the mountains. Theres a big forest with trails and log cabins and the town is full of little shops you girls can go shop in."
He almost sounded like a commercial.
Tara looked at Inuyasha who nodded to her.
"You girls need to go." he whispered.
Tara grinned.
"Alright Dad. But on one condition."
"Okay?"
"We get to bring three friends. Everything will be clean and innocent, but I want them to come with us." Becca and Lori beamed.
"I'm assuming these are guys then?" Her dad asked reluctantly.
Tara raised an eyebrow.
"Hold on one sec." she pulled the phone away slightly.
"You are guys right?" she asked the three men.
Koga snorted.
"Well I don't know about all of us." He said with a smirk, looking pointedly at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, both of whom growled and pounced on Koga.
Tara rolled her eyes as the three guys rolled past.
"Yep Dad, I'm pretty sure they're guys. They have the maturity level anyway." she said, grinning.
Lori and Becca found this very amusing, and laughed even harder when all three guys looked up with a pout.
"Heeeeyyy." They all said.
Becca and Lori laughed harder.
"So anyway. That's the condition." Tara said, laughter coming through her voice.
They heard voices conversing and realized that all the parents were there.
"Alright, that's fine. Are you girls going to stay in the Glade?" Her dad asked.
Tara gasped.
"You don't mind?" she asked unbelievably.
"Well, we do, but obviously you girls are able to take care of yourselves so we won't stop you."
The girls squealed around the phone.
They didn't notice the three men behind them, still tangled up, wince at the loud noise.
Such babies.
They heard their parents chuckle.
"We'll pick you up around ten a.m. okay?" Her dad asked cheerfully.
"Yeah that's fine, we'll be ready!" Tara said, trembling with excitement.
"Alright. And Tara?"
"Yeah?" she asked softly.
"I really do love you. And I'm sorry. We all are. We should have trusted your judgement." her dad's voice was sad and regretful.
"Yes...you should have." Tara said with a small smile. "But everything is as it should be. We're happy."
The girls smiled at each other, and they gave contented sighs as the guys sat back down with them, all of them wrapping their arms around the girls.
"And I love you too Daddy." She said.
Becca and Lori awwwed.
Tara stuck her tongue out at them and told her dad bye.
Snapping the phone shut, she turned and jumped into Inuyasha's arms.
"We're going on vacation!" She squealed, giggling when she saw the girls do the same.
"So." she said, eyes glowing.
"Soooo." Inuyasha said.
"I say we go do something we've yet to do in these forms." Sesshomaru said, Lori laying comfortably against his chest.
"And that would be?" Lori asked, looking up at him.
Sesshomaru gave a little wiggle of his hips and Lori shrieked.
"You pervert!" She cried, slapping him on the arm.
Tara caught on to what he meant and laughed her head off.
"He meant dancing you moron!" She cried, still giggling.
"Oh...Okay!" Lori said, jumping up and pulling on Sesshomaru's hands.
Tara jumped up as well, grabbing Becca's hands as well, tugging on her.
The three girls took off for the staircase, all of them racing to get to the top first.
But, as does usually happen when dating three demons, the girls lost the race since the guys were able to simply take one leap and get to the top.
The girls pouted.
"You bunch of cheaters!" Becca muttered.
The guys looked down guiltily.
Tara, Lori and Becca shared a quick glance.
"Psych!" they cried and shoved the guys out of the way, rambing their way through the door.
"Ha! We win!" Lori cried.
"Now who cheats?" Inuyasha asked with his arms crossed.
Tara looked up with an innocent grin.
"Everybody."
Inuyasha smirked and helped her up.
"Too true." he said.
Tara turned to Lori.
"Crank up the tunes girl!"
Which of course, Lori was happy to oblige.
Two buttons pressed and a turn of the volume and the house was full of music.
The girls were struck with a sudden feeling of how odd the situation seemed.
Not three days before, they had been doing this very thing, but with their dogs.
Now their dogs were their boyfriends.
Weird. You definitely don't see that happening every day.
Leon Bently forgotten, over-protective parents put aside.
All that mattered was the fact that they were with the people they cared about.
The six friends did nothing but enjoy each others company as they danced to the blissful magic coursing through their veins.
After about ten songs of dancing around like loons, the girls were more than pooped and crashed on the bed, lying every which way.
The boys, of course, were not but hey, they had the advantage of being non-human.
Chuckling at the exhausted girls, the boys sat down beside them.
Laying down beside the girls, they breathed in the feeling of each other.
For a long time no one said a word, afraid to break the silence.
"Guys? How...did you get here? I mean, you are from the Feudal Era right?" Becca asked from where she lay.
"Yeah. Actually..." Koga sat up a little and looked at the guys.
"How did we get here?" he asked.
Sesshomaru sat up and Inuyasha proped up on his elbows.
"I remember all of us seeing someone and following it. But I don't remember who it was or even what it was." Sesshomaru said, a little silver strand falling in his face.
Of course Lori couldn't help but tuck it away.
"Yeah that's right. It caught our attention and we followed it...and then there was that bright light and we were in the Glade." Inuyasha said, grinning at Tara.
"Well, then we didn't know it was the Glade, I just know that we liked it." Koga said.
Becca narrowed her eyes at him.
"You guys didn't go like, mark your territory or anything, did you?" She asked.
Koga chuckled nervously.
"Nope."
"Mmmm..."
Koga cleared his throat.
"Anyway..."
Tara looked up suddenly.
"By the way, why were you guys fighting when we found you?" She asked curiously.
The guys looked confused.
"Fighting?" Koga asked.
"When you found us?" Inuyasha added.
Tara rolled her eyes.
"Yes that is what I said, thank you for clarifying. Mind answering the question now?" She asked.
Sesshomaru also rolled his eyes.
"As I remember it, Inuyasha had stepped on Koga's paw and Koga pounced him, then they both rolled into me so I pounced on the both of them." He said matter-of-factly.
The girls stared in shock.
Then they collapsed back on the bed, laughing their heads off.
"Oh my...oh my god!" Lori and Becca cried, another round of laughter following.
Tara wiped tears of glee from her eyes and sat up, still giggling every few seconds.
"Hey what did you mean "finally?" Tara asked Sesshomaru curiously.
The guys shared a glance and Koga and Inuyasha gave pointed glares to Sesshomaru.
"Oh...um...slip of the tongue." Sesshomaru fumbled, grinning.
Lori crossed her arms.
"Uh hu." she said.
"Heh heh." the guys chuckled.
"Whatever." Becca said and bounced off the bed.
Koga's eyes went wide. He grabbed Becca's hand and pulled her back to him.
"Becca don't go! We didn't mean it, please don't leave me now that I can be with you!" He cried, looking incredibly desperate. It was very cute.
Tara and Lori clapped their hands over their mouths to keep from bursting with more laughter.
Becca stared at Koga, leaning forward towards the wolf demon clinging to her.
"Um, Koga?"
"Yeah?"
"I was going to the bathroom. I'll be back I promise." she said calmly.
"Oh...well okay." Koga said, slowly releasing his hold on her.
Tara let out an unladylike snort and buried her face in Lori's sleeve who was also shaking with high pitched giggles.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had wicked grins on their faces as they watched Becca walk away.
"Guilty consience eh?" Inuyasha said, nudging his older brother.
"Obviously feeling guilty about something." Sesshomaru replied and was anwered with more high pitched giggles.
Koga coughed.
"Well how was I supposed to know?" He asked.
More giggles.
Koga sighed.
"I'm so abused." he muttered.
Inuyasha laughed.
"Get over it wolf." He said.
Koga growled.
"You guna make me mutt?" he said.
The two boys started growling at each other.
Tara rolled her eyes to Lori.
"No more mature in real life than in the show are they?" she said.
"Nope." Lori said with a grin.
Tara looked around suddenly.
"Hey...where do you guys keep getting the clothes?" she asked, motioning to the blue jeans and tops they were wearing.
Sesshomaru's was white with a black jaket, Koga's wore a black t-shirt and Inuyasha's wore a white t-shirt with a red jacket.
Very adorable.
Sesshomaru shrugged.
"They were all wrapped up in a bag when we got here." He answered as if it was an everyday occurence.
Koga looked at his t-shirt then up at the girls, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"If you don't like them we can always just not wear them. We're not shy or anything." Koga said, and recieved a flying pillow to the head.
"You are not going to run around naked." Lori said calmly.
She glanced at the other two guys sitting next to them and looking innocent.
"And I know the same thought was going through your heads so it goes for you too." She said, preparing to throw another pillow.
"Lori, quit scaring them please." Becca said as she re-entered the room and sat down beside Koga.
"Okie dokie." Lori said cheerfully.
Tara grinned at her.
"So, are you guys okay with coming with us tomorrow?" She asked.
"Of course it is you dumby. Why wouldn't we come?" Inuyasha said with a sniff.
Tara smiled.
"I was just making sure." She said.
Koga chose that moment to give a big, and very loud yawn. Becca giggled.
"How bout we go to sleep now eh?" Inuyasha said and a grin at Tara. She rolled her eyes but crawled further up the bed anyway.
The guys stripped off their shirts and the girls shared a secret, but very wide grins.
Lori reached over and flipped off the lights and crawled into bed.
"Woohoo sleep!" Lori said cuddling up to Sesshomaru who wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah...sleep." Becca said sleepily, she and Koga getting comfortable on the pull out couch while the other two couples slept on the big bed.
She too curled up next to Koga and the two of them slowly fell asleep.
Tara lay with her back against Inuyasha's chest and his arms around her waist.
She layed her hands on top of his and gave a soft sigh of happiness.
Inuyasha leaned over and kissed her cheek, making her smile.
"Goodnight." He said.
"Goodnight!!" Everybody answered him.
The girls laughed and Inuyasha snorted.
"Crazy people." He said.
"You know it." Koga answered cheerfully.
"Go to sleep both of you or I'll be forced to kill you." Sesshomaru said.
"I second that." Becca added.
"Geez be quiet, you bunch of loudmouths!" Lori said.
Tara started laughing.
"Goodnight!" She cried.
"Goodnight!!!" Everyone replied.
"No one say a word." Sesshomaru said.
"But you just said a word!" Inuyasha said.
"Geeeez!!!" Koga yelled into the dark.
The girls burst into laughter.
"Okay, I'm going to say goodnight, you all say goodnight, and then we go to sleep. Okay?" Becca said.
"Gotcha." the guys answered.
"Goodnight!" Becca said.
"Goodnight!!!!" they all yelled.
Thankfully, nobody else said anything else because they all fell asleep.
For once, The Glade was glad they had shut up.
