A/N- Agh. Slow update. finally got back from Lansing yesterday at, like, 9
PM, so I couldn't do much then. My sister's back home, so I can't get as
much time on the pc.. Gah. school starts this month! Oh, the horror! That
means once a week updates, if that. Oh well. My neighbors get to go on a
cruise to the Bahamas. They are so lucky!
Disclaimer- IY aint mine, nor will it ever be (sad, isn't it?)
Here's the thank-you section:
Riku-chan: You've actually done that? I just thought of it because I stayed at a hotel and the shampoo was in the exact same type of bottle as the mouthwash, and you wouldn't really know which was which in the dark. and that is what happened to Inuyasha. And you too?
Inu-gurl (the signed in one):I'd love to hear your ideas! I don't go on AIM much but my current screen name is araschan13. If you want, you can email me at ladyshadowflame@inu-yasha.zzn.com. I check my email every morning. And about killing the other inu-gurl, isn't that, a bit, extreme?
Gohanzgirl: I have discovered that making Naraku extremely clumsy is funny. And fun to write. I think he'll be back in the next chapter. Any ideas as to what should happen to him?
Liz3386: Miroku isn't actually staying in the same room as Inuyasha. They have adjoining rooms. And I just thought of a good explanation for the mouthwash scenario. That'll be in next chapter.
RoyaL: Sorry for not including you on last chapter's thank yous. And Inuyasha will try his hardest, I assure you, to make sure that he proves himself better than his brother. Man, this fic is fun to write.
Inu-gurl (the not signed in one): You better not be swearing at me! Cuz' I'll sic my shitfroog on you! But if you aren't swearing at me, tell me before I go on a killing rampage!
Vicious-wolf: The pic I drew is in the process of being scanned and edited. I drew it on lined paper so that will take a while to edit out. I traced the whole thing in pen yesterday so I wouldn't smear. I have a website in the works, so I'll post it there. Someday.
Totally-wicked: the paring shall remain a mystery!(considering that I haven't even decided yet)
Amisu: Glad you like it! As I said above, the pairing is not yet decided.
Silenthopechik: Collaborating on a fic sounds like fun. If we could get our acts together. And you would make me write all the funny parts? I only have so many ideas!
Sunflowerobi: You really like it? It's amazing how many people do! I never expected to get more than 30 reviews, an as of now I have 103! I luv you guys!
Cherokey: Kikyou. is a necessary element in a humor/romance IY fic. She's gonna be Inuyasha's psycho stalker ex-girlfriend. And he really wants to get rid of her. And so does everyone else. Haha. I really hate her, so she's gonna get it!
And now for something (almost) completely different. It's.. *cue scary theme music*
LOVE BOAT Chapter 8 Hikuma 1, The Others Arrive
Sango stood next to the gangplank, watching the passengers depart the ship for the afternoon.
They had just docked in Hikuma, and they were going to be there for the next 2 days.
Almost every person aboard the ship had some manner of question to ask her, and most of them repeated every couple of people.
She was so sick of saying 'Yes, we'll be staying here for two days!' that she swore she would kill the next person to ask how long they were staying.
Hearing footsteps behind her, she turned to see what this person wanted.
"What is it?" she quite literally growled.
"Oh! Sorry if I surprised you. I'm Higurashi Kagome!" the girl seized Sango's hand and shook it vigorously.
"You're Sango, right?"
"Uh. yeah.."
"You look really overworked! Why don't you come shopping with me?" Kagome said with a grin
"But. I have to do my job."
"no one's left on the ship. you won't be missed! Come on, it'll be fun!"
*I am scheduled for a break sometime. I might as well-* a hand appearing on her shoulder interrupted Sango's train of thought.
"Hey, If you're not going ashore. I'll stay with you." Miroku, who had managed to suddenly appear without either of the girls noticing, gave Sango a freaky grin.
"Ah.Get away from me!" She shoved him backwards.
"Didn't think it would work." he sighed, walking down the gangplank and off the ship to see if he could find anyone else to hang out with.
"Loser." Sango muttered.
"So? You coming? You really shouldn't stay here alone with weirdos like that on the loose!"
"Okay... I guess I can come. Let me get some money from my cabin first!"
***
Sesshoumaru rested against the wall of a store in the 'downtown' area of Hikuma. His head still hurt despite the medicine he got in the drugstore.
*What is this world coming to that I, Sesshoumaru, am reduced to a pathetic drunk? * (a/n that was so in character I could puke)
He stood up straight, seeing that some people were coming his way.
"Oh, I can't believe that you got that hat for only 10 dollars, Sango! You're great at bargaining!"
"I am not! That store owner was just really gullible!"
"Really? He was kind of cute! And he seemed interested in you!"
"Please! I've had enough of men for one day!"
*Eh...? Oh, it's that girl from last night. and that cruise director woman? * Sesshoumaru observed.
"Oh! Hi Sesshoumaru!" Kagome called out, running up to him.
"What are you doing by yourself? You don't look very good." She ran up to him.
"It's nothing!" he growled, turning away.
"Doesn't sound that way!" she persisted
"Hey! You're that guy from yesterday morning! The one who tried to throw that other boy overboard!" Sango said, having also run up to him.
Sesshoumaru turned his evil glare of death to her.
"I guess I have to thank you, actually."
"What?" he said, momentarily bewildered
"If you had started fighting like those other guys last night at the party, there might have been some injuries!" Sango clarified
*Does she think I'm that low? That I would join in on such a crude fight? * He griped
"Uh. Sesshoumaru?" Kagome waved her hand in front of his face.
"I am not an inferior asshole like that bastard brother of mine!" he declared (aloud)
"W-what?" it was now Kagome's turn to be bewildered.
"Lord Sesshoumaru!"
"Sess-chan!!!"
A little girl and a tiny man who bore almost no resemblance to anything Kagome had ever seen appeared at the end of the road, running toward them.
*No, I have seen something that resembles him! Those toads in the pond at my house! He looks just like those ugly little things! *
The kid made it to the three of them much faster than the toad-man.
"Sess-chan!!!" she squealed again, quite loudly.
Launching herself into the air, the girl tackled Sesshoumaru and attached herself to him.
"R-Rin? Jaken? What are you doing here?
"Oh, Sess-chan! We're gonna get on the boat and go with you!"
"What?!"
"I must apologize, M'lord Sesshoumaru. She is rather overexcited." The toad- man, Jaken, or whatever he was, had arrived at the scene and was groveling at Sesshoumaru's feet.
"Jaken. What is going on here?" he said, in a voice that was cold and emotionless, despite the girl sobbing into his shirt about how much she had missed him.
"Well, Lord Sesshoumaru, the girl was getting rather bored, so I decided to take her on a vacation." (a/n c'mon, can't ya see just what Rin would do to Jaken if she was bored? Think makeover.)
"And you brought her here? What a. coincidence."
"Yes, M'lord. Odd isn't it? Rin picked this cruise herself."
*FLASHBACK*
We see Rin, sitting at a computer.
The view changes, so we can see what the little rascal is up to.
She is entering the word 'Sesshoumaru' into some sort of search of a cruise ship database.
It is apparent that she is hacking into something, trying to find what ship her beloved Sess-chan is going to be on.
Jaken enters the room.
"You find a good ship yet, Rin?" he croaked, and there was no denying his toad-like nature.
"Yeah, Jaken-chan! We gotta go on this one!" she pointed to the screen.
"Very well. I'll book two tickets"
*END FLASHBACK*
***
Inuyasha walked along the pier, looking in the windows of shops without any real interest.
*Not a sign of that girl in 2 hours-*
"Where could she be?" he wondered aloud
"Where could who be, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha whirled.
And saw, standing behind him, a girl with long black hair who bore a remarkable resemblance to-
*That girl Sesshoumaru was dancing with- I knew she looked familiar! *
"Inuyasha! Did you hear me? Who are you looking for?" she slapped him
"K-k-Kikyou? T-the hell are you doing here?"

A/N- ooo. a cliffhanger! Sort of. Typed this whole thing in one sitting. I can't believe it. My mom is going to be 50 tomorrow. Scary. Almost as old as Kaede! Gaha! We even bought some toilet paper that has 50 written all over it. And a mug that says 'The Legend Lives On!' Gahaha! My mom'll be home from her meeting and my dad and I decorated the house. With crepe paper. It says 'Oh no. the big 5-0!' Um. yeah. So we're kinda going overboard. But that's my family. We're screwed up. A lot. It's morning now. I spent an hour sticking insulting sticky notes everywhere. It was 1 AM. Now I'm really tired. I need sleep. (@-@)
