A/N-Ahhhhhgggg.. My mind's in work mode. Gotta write. I think I'm gonna burn out the speakers on the pc, the music I'm playing is so loud. Loud music is fun! I'm listening to a Staind CD right now. the poor CD. it gets played about 7 times each day.

Disclaimer- Inuyasha, is, luckily for the characters, not mine. I do have a fan-subbed version of the 2nd season! And the only episodes I ever watch are the 2 with Sesshoumaru, and the two with Kouga.

Uhg.. Stupid internet won't let me see the reviews I've gotten but thanks anyway if you reviewed. OO OO OO it works now! And I'm going back to writing individual thank-yous. but these are only for those who reviewed the last chapter. so.

totally-wicked: Disclaimer is such a horrible word. This is actually the first time I've spelled it right.

inu-gurl: uh. uh. COoOoOoOL!

liz3386: Scary concept, eh? Inuyasha chasing after a girl. *evil giggle*

vicious-wolf: Naraku and Sango are a cute couple. Not a very popular one, but HURRAY FOR OBSCURE COUPLES!!!

just peachy: A cruise ship is an interesting setting? Guess I never thought about it that way. ^^;;

Cherokey: I'm in shock! You actually think my story is that good?! That's so kewl!!!! *Does the happy dance*

^_^: Wait no more!

Silenthopechik: Wasn't the ending *so* dramatic? tehe... I have no idea if Miroku asked Sango to bear his child. but it seems like something he would say. Man, I need to get the 10th and 11th books soon..

Agh! It's coming....

LOVE BOAT Chapter 7



RINGGGGG!!

Sango was rudely awakened the next morning by her horrid little alarm clock.

Reaching out a hand to shut it off, she accidentally bumped the coffee pot that held the roses Miroku have given her.

There was a sound of something sliding, and then a splash.

Soaked and covered in rose petals, Sango groaned and sat up.

*gods* she thought as she stared at her reflection in the mirror, *I look like hell*

Picking the roses out of her hair, she tossed them in the garbage.

*Evil roses* she thought with a snarl.

***

Sango wasn't the only one snarling.

Inuyasha practically roared at his alarm clock.

Stupid thing. It woke him up 15 minutes early.

Now it is happily residing in the garbage, and Inuyasha is still not quite happily residing in his bed.

*It's too early to get up* he thought at the sunshine shining through the closed blinds.

The clock next to the television read 9:45.

*Okay, maybe it's not that early*

As he stumbled towards the coffee pot, he noticed in the mirror that he was still wearing the same vile tux he had been wearing at the party the night before.

*Ugh. I must have looked so stupid.* he thought as he poured the entire bag of caffeine-rich coffee mix into the pot and turned in on.

While the coffee was being brewed, he staggered back over to his suitcase.

Remembering his 'mission' to outdo his brother, he searched for something that looked as nice as what Sesshoumaru always showed up in.

Not able to find something that nice, he settled for a white button-up shirt and some clean, but worn, blue jeans.

Grabbing his finds, he decided to take a shower. Usually he wouldn't take one every day, but he remembered that Sesshoumaru did.

*And he somehow managed to never smell bad, even with all that kendo practice.he must use a lot of deodorant.*

Inuyasha stepped into the shower, now faced with the challenge of figuring out how it worked. (A/n not that he'd never showered, but as someone who's stayed in as many hotels as I have, most showers are just plain odd)

***

Kagome sat by herself in one of the ship's restaurants, quietly munching on some toast while reading the schedule of where the ship would be docking.

They had come from the eastern coast of Florida, and were now somewhere between Florida and 'Grand Bahama Island', wherever that was.

Apparently there was a small island nearby called 'Hikuma' and that is where they would make their first stop, later that day. (a/n this 'hikuma' is completely fictional, I made it up because I know nothing about the Bahamas and neither does my wonderful Encarta Encyclopedia)

The schedule listed Hikuma as 'an amazing tropical paradise, with top-of- the-line shopping and cafes. Many beaches surround an extinct volcano at one end of the island, offering fun in the sun no matter who you are!'

*What a lame catch phrase. Oh well, at least it has shopping*

***

Inuyasha admired his reflection in the mirror. His hair was brushed to the point that it actually shined. And it smelled like-

*What is that smell anyway? Kinda.minty?!*

He marched back to the bathroom and grabbed the small bottle of shampoo he had washed his hair with.

*Scope? What kind of name for a shampoo is that? *

Then he read the words under where it said 'Scope'.

*Hmm... fresh and minty.MOUTHWASH?!*

The last word of his thought was screamed aloud.

*I washed my hair with mouthwash? Oh well. At least it looks nice*

***

Inuyasha stepped out onto the deck. He had searched roughly half of the ship and there was still no sign of Sesshoumaru or that girl.

He stumbled out and grabbed the rail, panting.

* Did I really just spend the whole morning looking for some girl.? *

"Whoa, Inuyasha! What happened to you?!"

Inuyasha turned around to see Miroku gawking at him.

"You actually look. civilized! And your hair looks.. Clean!"

"What? Something wrong with that?" Inuyasha snapped.

"No. It's just that I've never seen you even try to look nice."

Suddenly Inuyasha thought of something.

"Miroku. Have you seen that girl that my brother was dancing with last night?"

"Uhm.. Yeah, I think I saw her in the café a few minutes ago. Why do you ask?" Miroku narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"Could it be that you are trying to steal her from Sesshoumaru?"

Shocked that his plan was uncovered so easily, Inuyasha found that his eye was beginning to twitch.

"No! Not at all!" he said, turning away.

"Wow" he heard Miroku saying as he walked off "Inuyasha is chasing a girl. The sun will surely rise in the west tomorrow"



A/N- Ah. finally finished with that chapter. Kikyou's gonna be in the next one. Rin and Jaken too. But I won't be able to start the next chapter till Saturday. cuz tomorrow we're all gonna go see Signs and then I have to go to Michigan State to pick my sister up from band camp. That means that the days of spending hours typing are over. And she'll take her boom box back; I was using it since I broke my CD player. Noooo. I drew a really cute picture of Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru as they were in this chapter. What? You say Sesshoumaru wasn't in this chapter? Well, he wasn't. He's still in bed with a hangover. poor little fluffy-chan. In the pic I drew, he's still asleep. Just kinda sitting there. And Inuyasha, in all his mouthwashed glory, is glaring at him. Oh. It's so kawaii! ^^;;
