Shikon Private School Chapter 14: The Island Paradise, an inuyasha fanfic

Stranded... in the Middle of the Ocean!

Morning, the day after Everyone was Separated and The Cruise Ship Destroyed...

It was all nice and quite and peaceful. Kagome awoke to the sound of a squawk from a passingby seagull. She woke up and rubbed her eyes gently as she tried to recall the turn of events. The ship had been overturned, she swam to safety, she saw Sango and Kohaku. Sango and Kohaku. She glanced around quickly as she looked for Sango and Kohaku, they were about two feet away from her sleeping pecefully... they were on a plank. A plank! They were stranded in the middle of the ocean! It was still all quite and peaceful and it was a perfect Wednesday morning.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagome screamed loudly as the scream echoed for miles and miles around. Okay, more less like feet and feet around. But all the same, Sango and Kohaku were wide awake and as fit as a broken fiddle. They sleepily looked around, and saw only Kagome. both were soooo tired, that they didn't even bother to look at their surroundings. Kohaku just went back to sleep as Sango rubbed her, trying to stay awake, she failed. When Kagome saw this, she was even more angry.

"GET UP YOU GUYS! WE ARE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN WITH NO WAY TO SURVIVE! HOW WILL WE LIVE! HELLLLP! ANYONE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed at the very very very top of her lungs. THAT was one scream that echoed for at least a mile. The two siblings were up and in fighting positions at the very second, thinking that Kagome had spotted a demon of some sort and needed some assitance in killing it. Kagome rolled her eyes; at least they were awake. How on earth did they manage to be demon-slayers when their senses were soooo dull...?

"Unghhhh... Kagome onee-san... why did you wake us up if there are no demons to kill...?" Kohaku asked with a yawn. Kagome fell down to the ground, anime style. Sango lightly rapped her brother on the head in a reprimanding way, obviously, there was something wrong. She gazed at the sea. The plank. The sky. Her processed the thought. 'Hey, wait, we are on a cruise ship... you can't see the sky, the sea, or a plank if you are in your cabin!' Then, it dawned upon her her.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE ARE DOOMED! DOOMED! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed rather maniacally as Kohaku edged away in fear... his big sister never sceamed. So, when she did, it meant that 1:they were about to die, or 2: there was a big spider in the area. His onee-san (big sister) had always been afraid of spiders. He got into a fighting stanza immediately; it was probably the first one.

"Sango... wait... calm down... yes, let's calm down. Wait! Is InuYasha alright?" Kagome asked worridly, sure, he was a good swimmer and all that, but he could have died while the ship sunk. Or... he could be drowning right now! Thinking that way sent a fresh flow of tears flow down her cheeks. He couldn't die, she just would not allow it! She just wouldn't.

"Oh my... what about (blushes extremely badly) ... Miroku...? Do you think he survived...?" Sango said quietly almost as if she was convincing herself that Miroku was not dead. Kagome thought for a while. In her mind, she was thinking that if InuYasha had died, then Miroku had no right to live. But, when she imagined Sango's face hearing that he died, she knew that she could not, would not ever wish for that. Never.

"No, Sango! How can you just abandon all hope of him being alive like that? They are both alive and we will live through... this predicament! We all will ('Though I won't really care whether or not Kikyo and Kagura live' she thought as she spoke) make it through this alive, well, and all in one piece! So don't you DARE give up hope, okay?" Kagome said with an optomistic smile, sounding much much better than she felt. Sango noticed, and saw right through her lie. But she pretended like she did not know and just gave her a reassuring pat on the back. Kagome nodded in thanks.

"Besides... how long will it be until we are saved... either by Artemis or by InuYasha and Miroku!" Sango said cheerfully, for real, at this, Kagome brightened up considerably. And Kohaku had fallen asleep once more. Both of them, as to seeing nothing else to do, followed suit. Soon, there were three figures on a little plank floating in a never-ending ocean. (That's what it seems like!) Each hoping that they would be rescued... each in different ways.

"AHHHHH!" screamed Kohaku, waking everyone up, the two girls rubbed their eyes as they went to see what was the matter. The plank that they were on was moving! It was moving with the waves! The waves lolled here and there, here and there, as the three clung tightly to the splintery edges. They were almost tossed into the sea, but it seemed luck was with them. After what seemed like an eternity of random lolling, they stopped. Kagome cautiously opened her eyes one by one and peered over the side of the badly worn plank. There was sand instead of sea! SAND! She had never been soooo happy to see sand in her entire life! She happily stepped on it and went to explore, followed by two wary demon slayer siblings.

Kanna- "Hakudoshi, wake up. We are currently floating on a plank in the sea."

Hakudoshi- "Zzzzz..."

Kanna- Stare

Hakudoshi- "Whazza...plank...?"

Kanna- Stare

Hakudoshi- "Ahhhhh! Kanna, we are stranded on the ocean! With no food! And no chance of survival!"

Kanna- "...I said that..."

Hakudoshi- "You did not!"

Kanna- "..."

Hakudoshi- "Soooo... who do you think is going to rescue us...?"

Kanna- "Zzzz..."

Hakudoshi- anime fall, almost breaking the plank

Suddenly, the plank that the two were resting on lurched! The waves were causing it to move! Haku doshi watched helplessly as the boat rocked back and forth, back and forth. Kanna, on the other hand, just slept through it all. The shaking calmed down a bit, and Hakudoshi discovered that they were on sand. Sand! Land! They were on land- a miracle!

"AHHHHHHHHHH! WHERE AM I! SHIP! PLANK! KIKYO! KANNA! AHHHHHHHHHH!" Kagura's desperate scream could be heard for miles and miles around as she looked at her new surroundings. She was with Artemis, Kaede, and Ayame. The four of them were all lying down on some random floating plank... drifting in and out of random currents. Three out of four were sleeping. Kagura resisted the extremely strong urge to conjure a mallet (not like she had half the strength to actually and whack them all. After all, they were not supposed to be sleeping in this not so good situation. Actually, it was downright dreadful.

"Uhhhh... I'm still tired... can I sleep a bit more... Kikyo...?" Kaede moaned as Kagura smirked. This would be too fun. For her, at least! She deviously rubbed her hands together as she mouthed one word to anyone who was listening. Which was no one. Payback.

"OHHHHHH! THE WORLD! AND EVERYONE... THAT LIVES IN IT OR ON IT OR UNDER IT! WAAAAAAKE UUUUUP! I AM CALLING YOUUUUU ALLLL! WAKE UP! OHHHHHH LET US GREET THE SONG, I MEAN SUN TOGETHER!" Kagura yodeled this horribly off-tune song as she woke everyone up. Needless to say, they did not wake up on the right said of the bed... er, plank. Everyone shot her death glares as she smiled innocently. The most angry was Kaede.

"OH MY GOSH! GET OUT- OFF! I MEAN IT! I WILL TELL KIKYO THAT YOU DID THIS AND SHE WILL BEAT YOU GOOD! REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD!" Kaede threatened dangerously as Kagura flinched. Then, she remembered that Kikyo was not here. or at least aboard the plank. Her smiled widened. Dangerously. Kaede looked around for Kikyo's help, then recalled the same thing. She edged away; hoping Kagura was feeling most merciful. Sadly... she was not.

"Ummm... I'm sorry for yelling at you... Lady Kagura...?" Kaede said in a whimper.

"YOU GET BACK HERE! I WILL GRIND YOU DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN! YOU HEAR ME KAEDE! I'M COOOOMING FOR YOU!" Kagura screamed on the absolute top of her lungs. In her rage and fury, she topped Kagome's record. She began to chase Kaede and shortly caught her. After all, the plank was averagely small.

"AHHHHHHH! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPP! MEEEEEEEE!" Kaede screamed in agony. no words ever invented could describe how painful it was. After all, Kagura WAS training to be a magickal assasin. Thus, she knew all the weak points. Kaede's screams of pure agony rang throughout the sea, blending in with another scream not too far away... seemingly from Kagome, but no one could be sure. Amazingly, Artemis and Ayame were not disturbed one bit by the rather disturbing screams from Kaede and the maniacal laughs from Kagura.

"So... how did you get us all out of that boat...? I mean, the last thing I remember was a wall..." Ayame asked, ignoring the screams and laughter.

"That's for me to know and you to never ever ever find out!" Artemis said cheerfully, also ignoring the screams and laughter that were in the background.

"Hey... where's Koga...?"

"Ummmm... I DO believe that he left you to go fishing and then, the ship sunk..."

"WHAT! (sniffle) Koga! (sniffle) Koga... (sob) YOU IDIOT! (sniffle) YOU BAKA, (sniffle) BAKA, (sniffle) BAKA, (sniffle) BAKA! You just CAN'T die! WAHHHHHH!" Ayame said as she let tears flow down her pale-white cheeks, unchecked. In her anger, she was landing quick punches and kicks on the poor plank that the foursome were floating on.

Crack.

The plank cracked and Artemis sighed as she mustered what little energy she had left toi create a floating bubble. Sadly, she did not have much energy left... so the bubble lasted about three seconds before it popped. They were all soaked once more in salty sea water.

"This is just NOT my day!" Kagura complained.

"Too bad, so sad," retorted Kaede.

"Hey, look! Land! Let's swim there, I am waaay too wet!" Ayame pointed to some island about twenty feet away.

"Hmmm... okay, it looks safe enough..." Artemis said, as she led the foursome to the island, swimming quickly, as no one was in the mood to confront a 'shark' of any sort.

"Unnngh... what time is it...? Anita... go get me breakfast! David... go get my carriage... unnnngh... what day is it...?" Rin asked subconsciously; she did this every morning at her house for about three years, thus she had gotten into the habit. She pointed to her imaginary maid and butler (which happened to be Sesshomaru's direction, the west) and ordered them to get her her needed items. Sesshomru raised an eyebrow at this.

Silly Rin! You are not in your house anymore! You are on ME! Hello, Rin...? RIN, WAKE UP OR ELSE YOU'LL DIE! Aqua screeched in Rin's head as she woke up immediately. She stood up quickly, in a fighting stanza, ready to take on what ever was about to kill her. She glanced around, and saw only Sesshomaru so she went back to a sitting position.

"Oh... it's just you..." she said with a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean that it's just me, human...? I am much more dangerous than you imply."

"Whatever."

"Hmph."

"Well, you know what? Hmph to you too!"

"Hmph."

"You and InuYasha are sooo alike!"

"Don't sully my name by putting it in the same sentence with my half-brother's"

"Yup! You two are like two peas in a pod!"

"Hmph."

"He goes 'feh,' you go 'hmph.' Both of you are as stubborn as mules, wild as... dogs, stuff like THAAAAAAAT!" Rin shrieked loudly as she clung desperately to her little board. The two boards rocked with the waves. literally. up and down, side to side, up to left, right to down, around and around the two spun wildly as the waves manipulated their moves. They washed up on some alien shore. Rin slowly released her iron grip on the board as she gingerly stepped onto the sand. Sand! She was oh soooo happy to see the sand! Land she thought happily as she scooped a bunch of sand u and flung it in the water. Or where she thought the water would be. Sadl, it was Sesshomaru's direction.

He growled as his hair was 'drenched' in sand. Rin smiled sheepishly and decided that now would be a great time to beg Kara to whicsk her away. Yup, now would be a great time!

Sleeping.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

"Yawwwwwwwn!"

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

----STRETCH-----

"WAKE UP EVERYONE! WE HAVE JUST ARRIVED ON SOME RANDOM SANDY ISLAND AND IT IS CURRENTLY NOON! WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY! OR ELSE I WILL BE FORCED TO KICK YOU ALL UNTIL YOU ARE AWAKE!" Koga 'screamed.' No one woke up. He shrugged lightly; they deserved it completely. He grinned wicked as he readied his leg muscles.

----silence----

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP

"AHHHHHHHH! BUHDHA WILL RELINQUISH PEOPLE LIKE YOU!"

"KOGA, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"DIE YOU DIM-WITTED WOLF!"

"WAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"MY HAIR, IT'S RUINED! RUINED! WOLF, YOU WILL PAY!"

Koga smiled evilly as he ran as fast as he could to get away from the five people who were about to kill him. Oh well, it was fun, really fun.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note to readers: This is the end of the chapter, but not the end of the day! Okay, so everyone, and I mean everyone is now on this little island. No one has met anyone other than their little groups yet, okay? I suppose it is around three 'o clock and everyone is pretty much starved; no dinner, breakfast, or lunch!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Vexing Valentines Day

"Oh my... where is this place...?" Rin asked worridly as she followed Sesshomaru through the deep forest. The island that they had landed on seemed to be much larger than it looked. After all, it seemed that they had been walking for hours! In fact, she was beginning to wonder if the others had survived. Aqua had told her that they did; but in her mind, she still had her little doubts and worries. She shook her head wildly to clear away those thoughts as Sesshomaru began to speak.

"I smell fire... and someone else..." he said quietly, almost to himself. the two trudged a bit father into the dark jungle; Rin was sooo exhausted, but the thought of being left by herself was just enough to keep her going. She had to quicken her pace to keep up with Sesshomaru'sstill quickening pace. They both stopped at a clearing. And Rin saw what was now what she thought to be the most joyful sight on the entire earth; there was a little campfire and everyone else, including Artemis and Kagura were seated around it. they all looked up and a wave of relief washed over their faces as they saw it was just Sesshomaru and Rin.

"Gosh! What took you soooo long...?" InuYasha said rudely. He glared at Sesshomaru glared at him.

"Little brother, we have been walking in jungle for a bit now... why don't you try that and see how far you can go...?" he said evenly. Both Rin and Kagome rolled their eyes; those two were so predictable! Suddenly, a shooting star brighter than any other shot across the night sky. Everyone, even Sesshomaru and Naraku, gazed up to look at thw spectacle.

"Wow! A shooting star! Everyone, quick! Make a wish!" Kaede said happily as almost everyone closed their eyes to make a wish. InuYasha just feh-ed as usual and commented that it was nonsense; causing him to meet his good friend, dirt once again. Kagome resisted the urge to roll her eyes as he plummeted to the ground. Hard. Koga and Sango snickered at this and Sesshomaru smirked. Naraku looked like he was devising some twisted plot of his along with Kikyoand Miroku was just choking on giggles along with Kagura. Kohakuand Shippo were fast asleep already, right next to the fire's warmth. And Kanna and Hakudoshi just sat as still as a stone. Ayame was rolling with laughter alongside of Rin. Kaede and Kagome were just suppressing giggles while InuYasha was growling.

Suddenly, Kagome clapped her hands and her eyes lit up like she had got the greatest idea ever. InuYasha resisted the urge to smile; Kagome was so funny when her face lightened for no reason at all. Wait, what was that? He did not like Kagome, not one little, etsy-beetsy bit! Nope! The silence (with a couple loose giggles) was cut by a sound that went 'Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha! Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha!Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha! Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha!Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha! Chaka-chaka-chaka-cha!' Kagome grinned sheepishly as she pulled out a strage metallic thing from under her wrist. (Yes, she is wearing a long-sleeved outfit because the ship was very cold and she didn't bring any spare clothes.)

"Oh... heh heh... did I forget to tell you guys...? Well, today, in my land,tomorrow will be Valentine's Day! (Everyone stared at her blankly) Well, Valentine's Day is when... well, when people who like each other give each other stuff! (Everyone still stared at her blankly.) You know, like it's a great time to tell someone that you like them! (Everyone just numbly nodded as she stopped the annoying beeping.) Yeah... that's what it is!" Kagome said with a nod; no one seemed very interested with it. Or at least they didn't act like it. Of course, the mind has it's own way of wandering around...

"Hey, what on earth are we going to wear?" asked Kagura; noticing the fact that everyone had missed. There was brief silence as everyone thought of what to do. They had not brought anything from the ship, the only thing they had brought were the clothes that they were wearing right now. So far, Artemis' and Sesshomaru's had looked the least bit damaged. Inuyasha's red kimono was torn, Kagome's school uniform skirt had a few unnessary lines in it, Kanna and Hakudoshi's white outfits were now a sickly green thanks to the seaweed that they had washed up on. Kikyo and Kagura's outfits were drenched, and they looked so dishreveled with their messy hair and tired faces, Shippo, Kohaku, and Sango's outfits had sustained pretty well, because they were all wearing skin-tight outfits, the only thing was that there was also that same sickly green below the knees. Koga and Ayame looked like two wet dogs... er, wolves because all their furry clothing had been thoroughly drenched by seawater. Naraku's silk kimonos were all smeary and blury because the seawater had smeared all the designs, his hair was a mess as well. Miroku's monk attire was sooo loose that FLIP! A fish came tumbling out of the many folds that were filled with seawater. He smiled sheppishly and threw it out into the sea. Everyone raised an eyebrow at this. Kaede was pretty fine because she had wrung out all the water in priestess outfit and washed her hair with water froma nearby spring. The one who suffered the most was Rin, her blouse was a sickly green that matched her skirt and her sandals were filled with sand. Her hair was all ruffled like she had just rolled for a day without stopping across a beach, and her skin was a light green from the seaweed. She looked miserable as well. In fact, the only one who was actually cheerful was Artemis.

"Oh, I think I have a good idea! You see those biiiig trees over there with those yellow long fruit? Do you see those biiiiig leaves? (everyone nodded) Well, at the camp that I used to work at... we were taught how to make leaf outfits! (Everyone stared at her in shock, she could NOT be serious!) You guys can stay in those disgusting clothes of yours if you like, but I personally think that it's pretty comfortable!" Artemis said a she walked calmly down to the tree, skidggied (yes, it's a word I like to use that I made up!) up the trunk and pulled down five humongous leaves from the yellow fruit tree. (In case you are wondering, it's a banana tree!) She then, sat back down at the fire and everyone just gaped at her. She seemed to be using the tree's bark to tie the leaves together and make an abnormal dress of some sort. And, worst of all, they had to admit, it looked pretty good compared to clothes they were wearing!

Artemis had made herself a very simple dress. The top was two leaves tied together with the stringy bark and it wrapped around her neck. She had cut the proportions to make it slip all the way to just touch her hip. Then, she strung the remaining three leaves together to make a skirt which she attached to her top by using an extremly long peice of bark that she had also used as her rope when she climped the tree. She then, tied the two pieces together, the top overlapping the bottom and it actually looked decent enough to wear! When she stepped out from the waterfall wall...(yes, that is like the changing room! because the waterfall is the wall and no one can see past it but there is a rock that acts as the 'door') almost everyone was astounded! She looked decent enough and you could barely tell that the attire was actually plant, rather than a new fashion accessory.

"See? It's not THAT bad, right? Okay, so, now what on earth are going to do?" she said with a cheery smile. Everyone looked numbly at her.

"Let's set up camp!"

"Okay!"

"Where?"

"Next to the waterfall!"

"No, fool, then the ones with sharp senses cannot hear danger!"

"Oh... hey! Who are you calling a fool?"

"You."

"Arrrrgh! You are sooooo impossible!"

"Speak for yourself."

"BAKA!"

"Ummm... you two...?"

"WHAT?"

"Where will we set up camp?"

"Not in the woods, that's for sure!"

"Why, are you scared of the dark?"

"N-No! Don't be an idiot! I am not!"

"Then prove it!"

"How?"

"We'll all sleep in the woods tonight!"

"WHAT?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"See, you are scared!"

"That wasn't me!"

"That was meeee! I'm scared of the dark!"

"Awwww... that's okay, I'll protect you!"

"Really...? Thanks!"

"Welcome!"

"So, where are we going to sleep?"

"Out in the woods, duh!"

"WHY?"

"SO I CAN PROVE I'M NOT SCARED OF THE DARK!"

"Oh..."

"Can we hurry up? I'm (yawwwwn) tired!"

"Okay! You carry my stuff or else i will have my big sister beat you up!"

"NO!"

"WHAT?"

"NO!"

"Hmph."

"Hey, are you coming?"

"You know, you make less noise than a brick wall!"

"So?"

"Whatever!"

"SIT!"

SLAM!

"What the beeep was that for?"

"For calling Valentine's day stupid!"

"But it IS!"

"SIT!"

SPLAT!

"Oh, my dear, for Valentine's Day... what would you want...?"

SLAP!

"For you to get away from me!"

"But, I like you a lot!"

SLAP!

"So, let's go set up camp!"

"Okay!"

"Hey, why are you always so cheerful?"

"I dunno!"

"Weirdo!"

ZAP!

"What was THAT for?"

"For calling me weird and implying that it's notgood to be cheerful!"

"Well, think of our situation! We are stranded on an island with no way to survive!"

"So?"

"SO? YOU ARE INSANE!"

ZAP!

"I-InuYasha! Are you okay?"

"He'll be fine (coughs) yup! (coughs) Fit as a fiddle!"

"Okay..."

And so, the stranded group set up a small camp in the middle of the forest where a clearing was and no bad demons could be smelt for a two mile radius. They all went to bed, tired and fell asleep before they konked the bed of leaves and other shrubs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagura woke up in the middle of the night, not feeling tired at all. She glanced over and saw... two, no three, no four empty sleeping bags. She nervously got up and used her sense of smell to locate the missing four people. They were none other than Rin, Ayame, Kikyo, and Kagome! She gasped as she stepped out of the forest. the foursome seemed to be working on something... but what?As she crept closer, she discovered that they were tryong to make those leaf-dresses that Artemis had made earlier; obviously, they didn't want to admit the fact that they didn't like their current clothes. As she crept closer, she accidentaly cracked a twig, making a sound that alerted the foursome.

"Kagura...? What are you doing here?" asked Rin curiously.

"Hey, Kagura, don't tell anyone what you saw, okay? Because I don't want that Artemis teacher feeling more cheerful than she already is!" Kikyo said in a hushed and hissy whisper. Kagura nodded.

"Ohhhh... how do you knot this part...? Artemis made it seem sooooo easy!" Kagome complained as she desperately tried to tie the top and bottom together.

"Here's how you do it, Kagome! See, you loop it in this way, and tie it right here... then you slip this peice over that piece and tada!There's your dress!" Ayame said, as she helped Kagome finish her dress. She had already done hers.

"Oh... thanks, Ayame!"Kagome said as she adjusted the dress to tighten it up a bit, just not enough so that it would break the leaves.

"Hey... can anyone help me with this? I just have never learned to do a backknot before!" Rin said as Kagura walked over to her.

"Oh, it's easy, see, just put your hands around here and make two circles that link together (a figure eight) and then pull! See, you got it!" Kagura said as Rin looked up at the older girl in surprise; she had never expected this kind of behavior from her!

'Th-Thanks!" mumbled a confused Rin; Kagura nodded in response. the five girls just sat there, staring at the full moon until Sango came, then, it was decided that both she and Kagura would also wear the leaf-dresses because their regular clothes were just too dirty. And so, six girls cloaked in leaves, strandedon some island in the middle of the Western Sea, far, far away from home just sat there silently, each had their own head filled with thoughts of tomorrow; Valentine's Day. Silently, peacefully, without an argument or a care in the world... just one moment of peace and no worry.

Meanwhile the boys were...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Valentine's Day!

Last time on Shikon Private School...

Meanwhile, the boys were...

Now...

Sesshomaru never slept. At least, not on a deserted island. Being a full demon, he did not need to sleep very often, unlike his little tainted-blood half-brother. He was a disgrace to demons everywhere! He scowled at the image; after his mother had been... slain... his father just brushed her away and chose another as a mate! The nerve of him! He snapped out of his own deep thoughts when he heard a rustle in the bushes. Then, he heard voices. They seemed to be boy voices so he went to see who. As he glided silented closer, he smelt who they were; InuYasha, Koga, Naraku, Shippo, and Hakudoshi. They all seemed to hissing at each other in whispers, so his hearing could not catch any words. He glided closer, a bit curious and bored; after all, he had nothing better to do, and they should have an adequete explanation of why they were up this early. After all, even filthy half-breeds like Naraku and InuYasha needed to sleep. Shippo, Hakudoshi, and Koga were not very experienced demons... at least in his opinion. He mentally snorted to himself; those three were the worst excuses for a demon that you could find!

"Hey InuYasha! You beeep, come 'ere and help me with this string!" Koga hissed.

"Well, if you're so smart, why don't you, you beeep!" InuYasha retorted hotly.

"NO! I DON'T WANNA!" Koga lamely said back.

"Well, I don't want to beeep help you!" InuYasha hissed back.

The two embarked on a glaring and hissing contest to see who could intimidate the other first. Shippo rolled his eyes; with those two goofy morons, he had absolutely no time to be childish! He grumbled to himself as the two began to cat-fight... wait, no dog-fight... wait, no-- canine-fight! Sesshomaru watched emotionlessly from the shadows. His little half-brother and his 'friend' were so annoying and childish. Even the kitsune was more mature than those two. Then, he mentally shrugged; those two didn't have half a brain cell among the both of them.

"Just shut up and help me!" Koga said with his fist clobbering InuYasha's face.

"Fine! You cheater!" InuYasha grudgingly said as he helped with Koga's knot. After he finished, he slugged the wolf-prince; making him meet face to dirt particles to his newly made friend; dirt! Formerly InuYasha's best friend. Shippo snickered softly, but InuYasha heard him, earning him a bump on his head once more. Naraku and KHakudoshi rolled their eyes simutaneously; the threesome were sooooo predictable... in fact all that was needed to complete the set was...

"Little brother... what in the seven beeeep are you doing?"

...Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru calmly said as InuYasha paused from slugging koga in the face repeatedly; this gave Koga the chance he needed, he quickly punched InuYasha onto the ground and began kicking him, hard.

"Sesshomaru! What the beeeep are YOU doing here? You messed me up!" InuYasha complained as he threw Koga over his head and glared at his brother. His older half-brother glared evenly right back at him. The two siblings glared at each other, until, as Shippo said later of their incident while talking with Kagome; one could almost hear their swords clanging as the background sounds.

"Well, I have the fight to ask YOU that, little 'brother'" Sesshomaru replied; emphasizing sarcasm on the 'brother' part. Inuyasha growled angrily and lunged at Sesshomaru in fury, forgeting all about Koga and the two not so friendly siblings engaged in a not so friendly dog-fight...

Shippo, Naraku, Hakudoshi, and even Koga sighed; those two were just much too predictable.

"Huff... huff... huff... Sesshomaru... you beeeep! I'm gonna take you down someday!" InuYasha heaved as he desperately tried to wriggle out of his brother's grip. It was futile. Jis brother had always been the harder, better, more well trained fighter of the two. But someday, he swore, he would be the beeeep out of his older sibling. Half-sibling.

"Whatever, Inuyasha, as if you would live that long... hmmm... I think I should use my poison claws on you... be thankful, after all, most of my opponents die by my whip. Okay. Goodbye." Sesshomaru sadi in a bored tone as he prepared to deliver the fatal blow to InuYasha. Koga gasped, Sesshomaru was stronger than he had thought! Shippo wasjust on the brink of tears; after all, InuYasha was his aggravating tool! (Oh, yeah, and his friend too...;;) Naraku was grinning ear to ear; now InuYasha would finally be removed from his life, and he didn't even have to move a finger! Hakudoshi had on an even more bored expression than Sesshomaru, after all, he was just standing around, doing nothing. Hopefully, the two could quickly get it over and then, he could go back to finishing sleeping!

"InuYashaaaaaaa! SIIIIIIIIIT!" Kagome screamed as InuYasha plummeted to the ground, dragging Sesshomaru with him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rin screamed as she saw the freaky scene. Most of the boys were wearing a strange boy-ish version of the banana leaf dress. It usedsix whole giganticleaves;two morethan the girl dress! The boy version used two leaves on the top that had two slits for the arms and was tied by bark in the back; looped into five holes made by talons that seemed to be InuYasha's size... The bottom was made of four leaves and was basically some crude version ofshorts. The four leaves were fastened together on all sides and had only one opening, the top. The boys seemed to have punctured two holes on the bottom to let their legs come through. The top and the bottom were attached just like the girls, with an extremely long piece of bark-rope, except theirs didn't tie into a bow at the back like the girls, instead they did a dead knot and left it hanging loosely on their sides. Overall, it looked just as good as the girl's version.

"Hey, you girls, don't tell anyone about what you saw tonight, okay?" Koga hissed.

"Only if you guys do the same, after all, we are wearing those leaf out fits too, you know!" Kikyo said; the boys nodded in agreement, the girls did too.

Crinkle...

Everyone turned toward the source of the sound in the bushes nearby. It was none other than Miroku!

"Eh heh heh... hi, everyone...? WOW! WHAT'S WITH THOSE LEAF OUTFITS?" he said with a shocked expression as he noticed that only Sesshomaru was wearing what he normally wore; everyone else was wearing leaf outfits that they had made themselves. He was confused; last time he checked, they had all hated it and refused to wear it and Artemis was the only one wearing things like that. He mentally shrugged as he tried to avoid everyone's stares, guess they must have changed their opinions!

"MONK..." Sango began dangerously.

"Y-yes...? What is it, Sango, dear?" Miroku said hesitantly, now fearing for his life.

Now, if Miroku had not added that 'dear,' Sango probably would have spared him, after all, she is a nice girl after all... as long as you don't get her mad.,.. that is... but he said the d-word... and so, there was no hope at all for him. Everyone knew this; especially Sango and Miroku. Sango smiled deviously while Miroku gulped and braced himself.

Note to readers: The following content is probably not appropriate so... I'll just beep it out!

"BEEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEP! MIROKUUUU! BEEEEEEP! GET BACK HERE!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SANGO, PLEASE BE REASONABLE HERE! PLEASE!"

"NOT A CHANCE, YOU BEEEEEP MONK!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! HELLLLLLLLP! INUYASHA! KAGOME! ANYONE! HELLLLLLLP!"

SLAP!

"Owwww... oh!"

SOCK!

"Unnnngh... it was worth it... every... hahhhh... time..." Miroku is now unconscious from being beat black and blue!

"Disgusting, rude, obnoxious, creep!"

"I'm with you on that one, Sango!"

"Yeah, I know, Kagome!"

"Sango: 1! Miroku: ZIP!"

"Shut it, Inuyasha!"

"Yeah!"

"Feh!"

"Well, you know what? Feh to you too!"

"Feh!"

"You are impossible!"

"So are you!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TOO!"

"NOT!"

"TOO!"

"Feh!"

"SEE WHAT I MEAN?"

"NO."

"ARRRRRRRGH! YOU KNOW WHAT? SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!"

InuYasha is now unconscious because he has buried himself in a crater that he made! Kagome is boiling mad, as of Sango and Miroku is also unconscious with lovely shades of black and blue decorating his sore face. Almost everyone was snickering, by now.

"Okay...(yawwwwwn) G'night!"

"Yup!"

"Me too!"

"Come 'ere Shippo!"

"Okay!"

"Sayonara tou Konbonwa!"

"Weirdo!"

SMACK!

DRAG DRAG DRAG DRAG

"KON-BON-WA!"

"Wow..."

"Zzzzzz..."

"Zzzzz..." x 16 sleepy demons / half-breeds / humans

The next Morning...

"Yahhhh!"

"WHAT?"

"Zzzzz..." x 14 sleeping demons / half-breeds / humans

"It's Valentine's Day!"

"Keh!"

"InuYasha... let's do something fun today!"

"L-Like what?"

"Well... this is what I had in mind!" Kagome leaned over to InuYasha's puppy ear and whispered something in it. His face first took on disbelief, then processing the information, then a big, wide, ear-to-ear grin.

"Wow... Kagome... I never knew you had it in you... okay, sure!" InuYasha said breathlessly.

"What do you mean you never knew I had it in me...?" Kagome hissed. Dangerously.

"Uh... nothing! Let's just do our trick on everyone before they wake up, okay?" InuYasha said; for once recognizing her tone. She nodded and they got to work.

Kagome took out some waterproof felt tip markers that she always had with her in case she ever got the urge to draw. That way, she could calmly express her anger.

Five minutes later...

"WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY WAKEY UP EVERYONE! IT'S A BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL VALENTINE'S DAY!" Kagome called out. InuYasha, seeing this as fun, joined in.

"THE BIRRRDS ARE CH-IRPING THE BEES ARE BU-UZZING! THE SUN IS SH-INING! WHAT ARE GUH-REAAAAAAAAAT DAY! WAKE UP! I ME-"

CONK!

InuYasha's dreadful, off tune singing was stopped by a fast rock that lodged itself inside his mouth. It was thrown by none other than a slightly annoyed Sesshomau who had been watching quietly while InuYasha and Kagome plotted, prepared, planned, and did. He resisted the urge to not roll his eyes at his little 'brother's' failed singing attempt. fot the three hundred and fifty seventh time in his life. Oh, why did he get such a hopeless brother? Why?

"OWWWWWWWWWWWW! Sesshomaru, that hurt! You BEEEEEP! I'll get you back! YOU HEAR ME! I'll get you back someday! I mean it!" InuYasha said after he dislodged the rock from his teeth; now they hurt soooooo much! And it was all his beeeeep brother's fault. Sesshomaru, on the other hand, was just giving InuYasha his usual bored glare. This seemed to infuriate InuYasha even more and he charged at his brother, needless to say, Kagome 'sat' him hard in order to stop him.

Five minutes after that... everyone woke up.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"YOUR FACE!"

"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"I WOULD NOT BE LAUGHING, LOOK AT YOUR FACE!"

"OH MY GOSH! IS THAT REALLY YOU!"

"YES, AND I AM NOT AMUSED!"

"SO! IT'S SOOOOOO FUNNY!"

"LOOK AT YOUR FACE!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"SEE?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone except for Sesshomaru, InuYasha, Artemis and Kagome had doodles and scribbles on their faces; courtesy of Inuyasha and Kagome. Sango had two pink hearts on each cheek and on her forehead was written in big pink letters, I love Miroku! Miroku had pink everywhere on his face in little splodges that gathered at his nose. It made him look like he was blushing. On his forehead, I love Sango! was written in hot pink. He probably was blushing. Rin had one blue heart right next to her ear so you could see them if she turned to one side. She also had pink hearts on the back of her hands and on her right arm, someone (cough Kagome cough) had wrote I love Sesshomaru! She seemed to be blushing badly at this. Kikyo and Kagura both had pink and red scribbles of hearts someone had drawn (cough Kagome once again, cough) on their faces. Payback. Both seemed enraged; mostly because SOMEONE (Kaaaagoooomeee...) had wrote on their foreheads; I am alive because of Naraku! Which, obviously, was a lie... right? Kohaku had pink hearts everywhere on his face, which somehow blended in with his freckles and made his freckles look pink. He was looking very freaked out and desperately trying to rub them off; after all, demon exterminators did not go around, parading with pink freckles! Naraku had pink cheeks and red 'lipstick.' He was too busy howling on the ground at everyone else to notice this, though. Everyone else's faces were just decorated with random hearts, I love... blahda blahda blah! signs, rainbows, and shooting stars.

Kagome and InuYasha bother grinned ear to ear as they ran away (calmly) from the raging, angry, mob of demons, humans, and a half-breed. The two were sooooo busy running that they didn't even notice that they were holding hands while they ran!

---After a ton of running, an awful breakfast, a puzzled Artemis (about how they got their outfits), a raging mob, a bored Sesshomaru, and two very tired good friends, they all went their separate ways on the not so island island paradise.---

With InuYasha and Kagome

"Uh... um... Kagome..."

"(turns around) Yes, Inuyasha?"

"Ummm... well... Happy Valentine's Day..." he awkwardly said as he thrust a bunch of pretty flowers that grew on the island into Kagome's surprised hands. She smiled at him.

"Thank you, Inuyasha!"

"Feh!" he said while blushing badly. Kagome squeezed the flowers; she would treasure them forever.

With Miroku and Sango

"Sango..." Miroku began unsteadily.

"Y-yes? Lord monk, what is it?" she answered with the same unsteadiness.

"Ummm... well, happy Valentine's Day, d-dear!" he said, handing her a necklace he had made the night before while everyone was busy making their own leaf clothes. It was a shell necklace that was delicately strung by bark that seemed soooo soft... because Miroku had softened them with a rock; taking an entire hour. Sango blushed deeply as he strung it around her neck.

"W-well, lord Monk... I don't know what to-erk!" Sango began but was stopped by Miroku's instinct once more.

SLAP!

Sango blushed as she hit Miroku; maybe she would like him... if he weren't soooo... downright disgusting!

With Sesshomaru and Rin

"Here," Sesshomaru said as he tossed something to Rin. She had to jump to catch the something. She looked at the small delicate thing nestled inside her palm, it was a pearl.

"I found it on the beach, give it back if you don't want it." he said, coolly as usual. She smiled widely at him; she had not smiled like this for over three years.

"NO! I love it! I'll keep forever!" she said with a light blush creeping up her cheeks.

"As if you'd live that long."

'As if I want to.' thought Rin silently as she gazed at the pure white pearl; indeed, she would keep it forever and then some time after that.

With Shippo and Kaede

"Shippo...?" Kaede began.

"Y-yes?" he replied with a blush.

"Ummm... well, Happy Valentine's Day!" she said as she handed him one of her arrows that she had found drifted onshore. He blushed and searched his little jacket to see if he had anything for her. Nothing... Nothing... ah ha! An acorn!

"Ummm... thanks! This... is for you... see ummm... it can turn into this!" Shippo said happily as he tossed it onto the ground, the minuteit hit the dirt, it turned into a mini horse that Kaede could ride on!

"Thank you sooooo much!"

And so... Valentine's Day ended happily for almost everyone on the island.

Sayonara, Island Paradise!

Rin stretched and woke up. She remembered yesterday; it was Valentine's Day! She looked in her palm and found the gift she had recieved; it was a single, beautiful white pearl. Sesshomaru had given it to her. She smiled at it. She looked over and saw that Kagome, Sango, and Kaede seemed to be admiring something too. She took a glance. Kagome had some flowers, probably InuYasha gave them to her; Kaede had a little horse that could change into an acorn. Obviously,Shippo had given that to her, seeing as he was the only one to possesslittle toys like that.And Sango had a shell necklace; she must have gotten that from Miroku.

"Wake uppppppp! EVERYONE! I HAVE GREAT NEWS!" Artemis said (more or less like screamed at the top of her lungs) to everyone. Everyone was up, but they were not at 'em; after all, it was before dawn! Everyone more or less wibbled, wobbled, teetered, tottered, all the way to where they thought Artemis stood. Where they thought was wrong. Dead wrong, as in literally. Most of them walked to the cliff and were about to walk off of the cliff if Artemis had not quickly turned them the other way with a rarely used reversal spell. they basically walked zombie like to where Artemis really was.

"Okay! I have good news... and bad news... what should I say first?"

"Good!"

"Okay! the good news is... I can get you all back to Shikon Private School... (everyone groaned at this they seemed to be having 'fun') And, well they bad news is that I can only transport everyone one at a time, one person per day... so what do you guys decide to do...?" Artemis said with a sigh asshe let that sink in. Then, the truth dawned on them... they would go one by one with no help at all!

The first person would have to explain everything to the teachers! And, since they had no witnesses at all, they would probably not be believed! And then they would be punished by the teachers- no even the principle for 'abandoning' everyone else and running away! (Note: the teachers/principle don't really know/care whether or not it is possible for some kid to run off of an island and swim to the school. Obviously, it's not possible, but they don't really care about that detail.) Then, the next day, another student would arrive, and the same thing would happen once again! And again for at least fourteen times! Then, when the teacher, Artemis finally transported herself back and explained everything to the teachers... it would be too late! they would all be too numb to hear/ care. Everyone sort of shuddered at this to-be predicament. Artemis noticed this and raised an eyebrow; certainly Shikon Private School could not be that bad! How wrong she was.

"Well, back to my original question, who will be the first to go to Shikon Private School?" Artemis asked, trying to sound cheerful, not quite pulling it off, though... Everyone stepped back one step, leaving no one. Obviously, no one wanted to be first. Artemis raised her eyebrow again at this; they made Shikon Private School seem like it was torture! She mentally sighed, it wasn't THAT bad... wrong again.

"Hey, why can you not teleport us all at the same time?" Kagome inquired, curious why Artemis couldn't teleport more then one student at a time. Artemis rolled her eyes; were they that dense?

"Well, you see... obviously, I use magick to teleport you people here and there, correct? (Almost everyone nodded) And, you all should know that magick drains your energy right? (Couple nods, mostly shakes, and some didn't move at all cough Naraku and Sesshomaru cough) Well, now you know that magick drains your energy. Normally, I can teleport up to four people at a time, but, we are sooooooo far away from where ever we want to go, which is Shikon Private School, that I only have enough magick to teleport one person per day! If I do any more, four things might happen, One: nothing, the two people get nowhere! Two: They both go to Shikon Private School and I die. Three: they both go to Shikon Private School and I am drained of all my magick so that means everyone else will be stuck here. Four: They only get halfway. That basically means that they don't reach the school and probably land in the middle of some forest, or at the edge of the ocean. So, as you can tell, none of those methods are very preferable!" Artemis ended with a happy smile that was not needed at this time.

"And so why do you have to wait a day before you can teleport anyone else again?" Kagome asked. Artemis rolled her eyes; this priestess was too full of questions!

"We-ell... I need to recharge my magick, and it normally takes a day to do it! (smiles happily) But, then again, if my calculations for the distance to Shikon Private School is wrong... then it might take a year! (Everyone look shocked at this except for Sesshomaru, Hakudoshi, Kanna, and Naraku) But don't worry, the longest you will have to stay on this island will be a year! (smiles happily while everyone else's not including Sesshomaru, Naraku, Hakudoshi, and Kanna aws drop to the floor, amazingly, none of them were damaged.) What? It's not that bad, is it? (There faces gave away the answer) I mean, all we're missing on this island is shelter! (More shock and disbelief coming from almost everyone) Oh, come on! Cheer up! At least you are not stranded by yourself on a demon infested island!" Artemis said brightly.

"Feh." Naraku, Koga, InuYasha, and Sesshomaru said at the same time; they could take on a hoard of demons and still live! Or at least they thought they could. Everyone rolled their eyes at the foursome, they were just too predictable. the four looked rather... surprised, to say the least and then all glared at the other three, as if in a way of saying, 'Do NOT copy me!' They realized they had done the same once again and all left, half-pouting, half-steaming.

"Oooooookay. Well, that was weird! Okay, so back to the question, who wants to go first to Shikon Private School? (Everyone stepped back once more) Siiiiiiiigh... you guys are an impossible bunch, you know that? Okay fine then! I'll just have to randomly choose!" Artemis said with a sigh; this was taking soooooooo long!

"How will you choose?" asked Kagome once again. Artemis gritted her teeth and didn't reply. Instead, she waved her hands in a rather spiral motion, making two vortexes appear, everyone stepped back a bit more, for fear that they would get sucked into the vortexes. Then, Artemis dipped both of her index fingers into the vortexes, one finger in each vortex. Then, she waited for about five seconds, and drew her fingers out again, this time though, they were covered with a blue-ish slime that Kagome thought looked radioactive. Artemis then, used her two dipped index fingers to draw numbers in the air. Amazingly, the numbers that she drew stuck to the air, almost as if she were using a piece of paper and a pen rather than air and slime. She drew numbers one through sixteen and then, waved her hands; the slime dissapeared! She then, spun around rather slowly, seeing as the leaf dresses were not all that sturdy, and the numbers spun with her too. When she stopped, the numbers seemed to 'float' to someone. Each of the students now had a number floating above their heads, and it was completely random!

Number One was Rin, Two was Kohaku, Three was InuYasha, Four was Miroku, Five was Kagura, Six was Kanna, Seven was Kikyo, Eight was Hakudoshi, Nine was Sango, Ten was Kagome, Eleven was Sesshomaru, Twelve was Naraku, Thirteen was Koga, Fourteen was Kaede, Fifteen was Shippo, and Sixteen was Ayame. The last one was Artemis herself.

"Okay! So... the first one up... is Rin! Come on, Rin! I mean, see everyone? She's not afraid of going first." Artemis said cheerfully, ignoring Rin's obvious discomfort and icy cold glares.

"Okay! Now then, lemme think... Oh! Now I remember!" Artemis said happily.

"Remember what?" asked Kagura.

"Duh! The teleportation spell! I had almost forgot it since I didn't use it for over two years!" Artemis said as almost everyone fell to the floor, anime-style, each of them with a sweat drop on their foreheads. Artemis rolled her eyes, they were all soooo undeserving of her as a teacher! And they were spoiled brats too!

"Magick of land, Magick of sea, Magick of sky, Answer to thee. Powers that flow, within your intertwined veins, Let this passenger ride, Upon you as some trains... Go!" Artemis said as she pushed Rin into the water. There was a gigantic POOF! underwater and then, the sea was calm again and Artemis was unconscious, probably from using too much magick, the better reason though, probably was staying up all night to watch all the little couples give their gifts. Whatever the reason though, she was fast asleep and everyone else just went to eat, play, talk, complain, fight (cough InuYasha Koga cough), or just be bored.

Meanwhile, Rin had indeed arrived at Shikon Private School, she was currently hiding behind some plants and she could hear Principle Kim talking with another person. They seemed to be arguing about something, and Rin gathered up all her courage to peek over the plants to see who that person was. She gasped. The two turned around and she dove back under the plants and begged for the elementals to save her somehow. Luckily, the two averted their gazes away from the plant and continued to argue about something. Meanwhile, Rin was trying to stop her heart from beating.

Why is he here! Why! Does he want to take me back again? Is he going to place blame on me again? Oh noooo! What happens if he tells everyone about what happened! I'll be ruined! Kagome, InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kohaku, and Sesshomaru won't want to befriend me anymore! They will fear for their lives! Everyone will! Ahhhh! Why! Why he have to come and spoil my life once again, why! Oh my gosh... please, someone, anyone, come in here and drag him away! He's the only who knows my secret and would like to tell it to the world! He'll blame me again! Then, then, I'll have to go back there again. But I don't want to! I refuse to! Because I have friends here! Rin thought urgently as she worried in her mind about the man Principle Kim was arguing with. She felt her stomach tightening from being terrified. Yes, she was safe at Shikon Private School; she had friends, after all. But are they really your friends, will they still be even when they are told? A little annoying voice in the back of her head taunted her as she quietly crept outof the room, seeing as the two argue-ers were already gone. I'm sure they will still be my friends even when they learn of my secret! I'm sure... am I...?

A little annoying voice in the back of her head taunted her as she quietly crept outof the room, seeing as the two argue-ers were already gone.

In the meantime, everyone on the island was busy snoring away. A day later, Kohaku was telported away, with Sango busy nibbling her fingernails in anticipation. It was pretty much the same boring routine; wake up, eat, teleport, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, repeat process. Everyone who was teleported back was dragged and bound by Rin and she 'set them free' as soon as they reached Artemis' safe dorm. After fourteen days, Artemis sent the last person of to Shikon Private School, Ayame. She did not feel as tired so she made a shelter and waited for her power to come back.

Two hours later, she was fast asleep.

Five hours later, she awoke to some very queer hissing noises. She looked in the direction in which they were being made from, which was her right, and saw... a gigantic snake demon that was colored a sickly green with murky wingson its head. It arched over her... and dived.

"AIEEEEEEEEE!"

Meanwhile, everyone was still waiting for Artemis to come.

"Hey, where do you think she is?"

"DUH! On the island! Where else?"

"I don't know."

"So why bother asking?"

"Dunno."

"You two can fight over anything!"

"Feh!"

"Totally true, Shippo!"

"Yeah, I agree with the kitsune."

"Hey, how many days has it been?"

"Why should you care, Kagura?"

"Just curious!"

"Ummm... lemme think..."

"Gosh! You sure are a stupid little dimwitted wolf huh?"

"Shut the BEEEEEEEP up Hakudoshi!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Koga (gasp) little (gasp) dimwitted (gasp) wolf...! (gasp) Too fuuuuunn-ny!"

"Shut up!"

"AWWWW... are you embarrased...?"

"DUH NOT!"

"Suuuuuuuuuuuure."

"Yes, I'm sure!"

"Hey, how come Artemis hasn't come yet?"

"Dunno."

"Hey, why do you care, Rin?"

"Well, if she doesn't come back soon, we'll all die from boredom or we'll be stuck here forever, duh!"

"Oh."

"Really smart, idiot!"

"Like you can talk!"

"He does have a good point there, you know InuYasha!"

"ARRRRRGH! SHUT UPPPPPP, MIROKUUUUU!"

"Artemis is currently... in the hospital, you will have a substitute teacher for the rest of this week!" a person happily announced as she randomly popped up from behind Rin. Rin freaked out at this.

"W-Who are you?" demanded InuYasha, shocked by the sudden intrusion.

"Huh? Me? I'm Apolla, the substitute!"

"APOLLA!"

"Yup!"

To be continued!
