A/N: I have to completely re-write this introduction due to some good news
and some bad news that must be brought to the attention of all. First, the
good news! I have a muse! Finally! He is Kawaii S***Froog, or KSF for
short. He's asleep right now but hopefully he'll be awake by the end of
this chapter. I might have mentioned him in another chapter. but now he is
officially my muse! And my defender, too. That brings me to the bad news.
Love Boat has been flamed. By who, I don't know, for the lowly coward
didn't even leave a name. But they are going to be in major trouble as soon
as I know their true identity. They say I can't write. And I say, what the
heck do you think I'm doing right now? They say I can't spell. I say that
is true. I can spell; just I screw up when I'm typing. They say I don't
edit. And I say, I know. I don't edit because it is time-consuming and that
means chapters will be published less often. I plan to edit and repost each
chapter when the fic is finished. Also, I aced English last year. Straight
A's in all subjects every quarter. So I am as good at writing as I can
possibly be. I try my hardest, and that is all that matters.
Disclaimer- I DO NOT own Inuyasha!
Now, thank-yous for the nice, normal, non-flamers who reviewed the last chapter:
Silenthopechik: Yup, Rin's a master hacker. I have no idea where that came from. Kikyou will feel pain, lots of pain, in the next couple of chapters. 'The amazing toad-man'-? What in.?
Midori Natari Himura: My mom is pretty sensitive about her age, but that didn't stop us from thinking up as many ideas as we could to remind her that she's reeeealy old. ^-^;;
Jurei: Due to the significant amount of evil-ness present in my brain, things aren't even starting to get 'interesting' yet. As interesting as last chapter was, the next ones will be far more so!
Lady_Black_Moon: Gah! I try to update as often as I can but I am rather lazy so sometimes that doesn't really work.
RoyaL: Rin's here to stay! We celebrate birthdays so no one ever forgets how old someone is. *-^
Vicious-wolf: My family is a bunch o' weirdos. We just are. Ack! Don't threaten me! *quickly shoves chapter out*
J-chan: Maybe it'll be Sess-Kag, maybe it won't.
Liz3386: The mouthwash scenario is not quite over, not even in this chapter! And don't feel sorry for Jaken, cuz he's just a scary little toad- man.
Sunflowerobi: Kikyou is playing the role of evil villain. Sort of. Rin's a smart little kid, but she's no Einstein.
Cherokey: I want Kikyou to die too. But she needs to suffer much first. *evil giggle* I'm really running out of creative ways to introduce the chapters, here's one of my odder ideas:

LOVE BOAT Chapter 9 Hikuma 2- Inuyasha's Psycho Stalker Ex-Girlfriend- Flamers Suck!
"Hi Inuyasha. Miss me much?" Kikyou gave him a wicked grin.
"Kikyou, listen! You are not my girlfriend anymore! I don't want you here! You will ruin my vacation!" he snarled.
"Aw. *sniff* Inuyasha *sniffsniff* don't you love me anymore?" she sobbed, giving him her best pout.
"No!" he snapped, turning and stalking off.
"Bastard. I will have him!" Kikyou declared, wiping the (fake) tears off he face.
***
"Sess-chan.?"
"What, Rin?" Sesshoumaru looked down at the girl.
"Can I go with Kagome-chan and Sango-chan? They are nice people!" she said hesitantly "Please?"
Not wanting to argue for the sake of his headache, Sesshoumaru sighed. "Why not?"
"L-lord Sesshoumaru! To let the girl go with strangers, and by herself!" Jaken stared at him in amazement
"She will not be alone. You are to go with her."
Jaken was about to complain when he saw the fire in Sesshoumaru's eyes. It plainly said 'Go, or I will kill you'
"Very well." The toad bowed and scurried off.
*Alone again! What annoyances! First those girls show up, then Rin and Jaken! Why is this happening? Can't I get a moment's relaxation? *
Apparently not.
For at that very moment Inuyasha rounded the corner and nearly slammed into Sesshoumaru.
"Sesshoumaru! What're you doing here?" Inuyasha promptly sneered
"Go away. I do not want to deal with your stupidness today!" Sesshoumaru whispered, looking up at his brother from underneath a curtain of hair.
A light bulb suddenly appeared over Inuyasha's head.
"Hey, Have you seen that girl? Kagome. or whatever her name was?"
"Why?"
"Because-Well? Have you!?"
"Not at all" Sesshoumaru turned away
"You have! Where is she?"
"Fine. I am not in the mood to bicker with you. She was just here a minute ago. She went that way." He pointed a finger in the general direction of where the girls (and Jaken) had left in.
"I bet you're lying!" Inuyasha whirled and ran off in the opposite direction of where Sesshoumaru was pointing.
Sesshoumaru sighed, raising an eyebrow at the departing Inuyasha.
* Even if I tried to help him he wouldn't listen. His loss. *
***
Miroku walked along the empty beach.
It appeared that Hikuma wasn't really a tourist spot. Apparently, no one even visited it other than the people who came on the cruise ship.
And there weren't any 'natives'; just people from random places up north who wanted to have a summer job in somewhere warm.
Summed up, that meant pretty much no cute girls other than the ones on the ship.
So, lecher that he was, he walked off to find them.
Because mean women were better than no women.
***
Sango, Kagome, Rin, and Jaken walked along the boardwalk, watching the sunset.
*I can't believe that we've already been here all afternoon* Kagome thought, staring out between the wooden slats of the barrier onto the calm ocean.
Rin trotted along beside her, happily eating a double-scoop chocolate- vanilla raspberry swirl ice cream cone.
Sango was on the other side of Kagome, attempting to distance herself as much as possible from the toad that was walking beside Rin.
She was carrying several large bags, evidence that the money she had grabbed from her cabin earlier had gone to good use.
Unfortunately, the bags and packages were in a delicate balance that almost anything could upset.
So Sango promptly dropped them when a voice behind her called out, "It is nice to see you again, Miss Sango!"
Attempting to turn around, Sango's foot got caught in the handle on one of her bags, and she tripped.
Miroku dashed forward, getting to Sango right before her head connected with the wooden planks of the boardwalk.
He caught her and helped her up, and while he was, his hand slipped down a bit too low.
"Pervert!" she screamed, slapping him so hard that he was launched into the air, flying right over the barrier on the edge of the boardwalk and into the ocean.
Rin dropped her ice cream, shocked that someone could actually be hit hard enough to soar clear over the 5-foot high barrier that was supposed to keep people from falling to their deaths in the shark infested water.
Looking down, Rin noticed that she had dropped her ice cream. She started to cry.
"Oh, Rin! You are so stupidly worthless! Do you know how much that cost?!" Jaken snarled
That only made Rin cry harder.
"Rin!" Kagome ran over to the sobbing girl. "Don't worry, I can buy you another!"
"O-okay" Rin choked, brightening a little.
"Come on. Let's go. Sango?"
Sango was just finishing re-stacking the boxes and bags that she had dropped.
"Coming" she said, tucking the last box under her arm.
Kagome sighed at the spectacle her friend made.
Kagome had only bought a few clothes and they'd all fit in one bag.
She started walking back to the ship and Sango, Rin, and Jaken followed her.
***
Inuyasha ducked around a corner. He had just seen Kikyou coming his way and was desperate to avoid her.
About an hour after he had spoken to Sesshoumaru, he realized that his brother hadn't been lying and the girl had actually gone the opposite direction he was searching for her in.
He had turned around and ran off in that direction, but his 'prey' was already far gone by then. (a/n hehe! o.0;;)
So he had spent the entire afternoon running through the many streets and alleyways on the island.
And he somehow couldn't find her anywhere.
Kikyou had been stalking him (again) and he kept running into her every 10 or so minutes. Each time he would just turn around and run the other way.
Just when he'd thought he lost her, she would appear out of a store or around a street corner.
It was really getting on his nerves.
He turned down the alley to run, and-
"Hi, Inuyasha!" Kikyou was right in front of him!
He turned, screaming, and ran around the corner and down the crowed street, drawing stares from the many innocent passersby that he shoved past.
***
There was a soft *FLUMP * and then a slightly louder *BA-FLUMP* as Kagome dropped her backpack on her bed and followed it with herself.
*What an exhausting day. all that shopping and ice cream. That island is way too big for its own good. and the good shops are way too spread out.*
She sat up, and began to unpack her backpack. First out came the bag that held her new outfit; a pair of shorts and a pastel blue t-shirt. Next came her wallet, and then her first aid kit (you can never be too careful).
That was pretty much it, other than a few miscellaneous things; such as the postcard she was going to send her mother.
Hanging the clothes in the small closet provided by the ship, she tossed the wallet and first aid kit onto the dresser and flipped on the TV to see if they got any good channels.
***
Inuyasha tromped back to his cabin, worn out and dust-covered from running down the many dirt roads that Kikyou chose to chase him down.
He decided to take another shower so he would be presentable for dinner that night.
*Two showers in one day? I really am turning into Sesshoumaru.creepy. *
Walking into the bathroom, he looked over at the counter, searching for the shampoo he had accidentally missed that morning.
And there was none.
He ducked, checking underneath the counter and in the trashcan to see if the elusive shampoo had attempted a daring escape.
Apparently, it hadn't.
Inuyasha would have blamed room service, except he that distinctly remembered seeing a bottle of shampoo on the counter when he had first walked into the cabin the day before.
It was there then-now it wasn't-someone must have took it-and there was only one adjoining door-the person who resided beyond that door was none other than his good friend-
"MIROKU!!!!" he screamed, running up to his friend's door and banging on it with both fists.
"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE NOW COME OUT YOU COWARD!!!" he shrieked, still pounding on the door.
"What?" came an irritated voice from the other side of the door.
"YOU TOOK MY SHAMPOO YOU BASTARD!"
"Huh.? Oh, that." The door opened and Inuyasha was faced with a still very soggy Miroku.
"SO YOU TOOK IT!"
"Yes. I gave mine to some girl who said she didn't have one. I took yours because I thought you wouldn't need it. But- if you didn't get another one, what did you wash your hair with this morning.mouthwash?" Miroku grinned.
"NOW THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Inuyasha growled.
Miroku cracked up. " You washed your hair with mouthwash? Gahaha! Ahaha!"
*BONK*
"Ow. wha'd ya do that for?" Miroku clutched his head, which Inuyasha had just bashed in with a table lamp.
"Gee. Miroku, what happened to you.? You're all wet!"
"Got pushed off the dock. Haha! You washed your hair with mouthwash!"
*BONK*
"Ow.gahaha!"
*BONK*
To be continued.
****
A/N- Wow, that was one heck of a chapter. Lots of playing around with the Caps Lock key near the end. Next chapter will probably center on Naraku, Sesshoumaru, and Kouga because they have gotten very little 'screen time'. My muse has finally awakened! (he speaks as KSF)
KSF- You are so lame, woman. I was awake the whole time.
"Well, why didn't you say so?"
KSF- Because you annoy me.
"Why you"- * a table lamp appears from nowhere particular* *BONK*
KSF- Haha! You missed!
*BONK*
KSF- ooo. I'll get you for that!
"Eeep!"
