The Final Day
Sango's Day
The oh-so-familiar horn blew at its normal time the next morning and I woke up enthusiastically. I knew it was the last day and absolutely NOTHING was going to ruin this almost perfect day! Well, I couldn't exactly classify it as a perfect day but I knew that I was going to make it so!
Suddenly, I was bombarded by every single member of my group (except for Cool Dex). They were all sobbing and hugging me and saying how much they were going to miss me when camp was over. I hit them all upside the head and demanded the personal space.
"Where's Cool Dex?!" I yelled.
"We played a trick on him and then tied him up!" said Mario proudly.
"WHY?!" I demanded to know.
"BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!" said all the boys at the same time.
"What kind of birthday present is THAT?!"
"A crazy cool like Suga Mama birthday present!" said Hubert. What was THAT supposed to mean?
"Well, where is Cool Dex?" asked Sango.
"WE HID HIM!!!" screamed all the boys. I knew I had to find Cool Dex or I was doomed to be undefended against the wrath of the pubescent boys. Even though I had put up with it earlier but now was different since I had gotten a taste of what it would be like without harassment. I threw open the door and called out for Cool Dex. I didn't get an answer so I figured that they had gagged him too.
I turned around and faced the boys who were all laughing hysterically at my expense. "You had better tell me where Cool Dex is!" I commanded.
"We'll give you a hint!" said Bailey. "He's not right outside the cabin!"
Did this mean that they had hid him very far away. I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom, changed and then came out to see that the boys were laughing even harder now. I scoffed at them and walked out the door, commencing my search for Cool Dex. I could see a bunch of groups making their way towards the main building and I knew we were going to be late for breakfast so I hurried back to the cabin and was going to give the boys a piece of my mind and demand that they show me where Cool Dex was but Cool Dex was standing right there as if he had been there the entire time.
"Where were you?!" I demanded.
"Shaving." Cool Dex responded.
"But they told me that they tied you up and hid you!" I said, pointing to the horrible boys.
"Well…they were lying." Cool Dex replied with a shrug as he turned to the other boys and glared at them. They all winced and cowered in fear.
"We're already late for breakfast so we have to hurry." I said as I walked out the door. They all followed me and we made it down the eating-place where everyone was gathered. The moment we entered, the entire place went silent and started at us as if us being late affected them at all.
Mr. Shawn beckoned me over and lectured me on the importance of being on time and then showed me to my seat where the entire room commenced in doing nothing.
"The Bunnies must be stuck in their bunny holes!" joked Mr. Shawn. That had to have been THE lamest joke on the face of the earth.
Wait…Hosh-sama's in the Bunnies! Why is it that I get a huge lecture on being late and I'm not even the latest one! Hosh-sama is! Why is Hosh-sama late? I had a reason and I'm sure whatever HIS reason might be, it's definitely not a legitimate reason at all! Next time I see Hosh-sama, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind for being late, being perverted and keeping me from breakfast!
"Perhaps we'll start without the Bunnies…" said Mr. Shawn as he cleared his throat. "There's only one camper and one counselor so two people won't make THAT much of a difference."
Mr. Shawn then waved his hand to a man in a pink shirt who was standing in the back of the room. The man dashed out the door as fast as lightning. I faced Mr. Shawn again and he looked as though he was about to tell a really long, boring and sappy speech and you know what, he DID!! It might have been slightly interesting and maybe a little bit touching AT FIRST but once fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five minutes had passed, I was ready to go and throw my boomerang and exterminate him.
He then went around and passed out some schedules that were decorated and pretty. I had to compliment the decorator on his/her job but then again, it seemed a bit fruitless since I wouldn't be taking this schedule home and framing it or anything. As a matter of fact, I would probably just fold it up and put it into my pocket where it will either crumble, rip or get lost depending on fate.
I noted that the first activity of the day might have been put on our schedule by mistake because I didn't think fourteen (and fifteen) year old boys could possibly find any fun whatsoever in something called 'Sand Fun'.
"SAND FUN?!" demanded Travis.
"Ms Sango, aren't we a little old to be playing in the sand?" said Dimitri.
"That's what I thought." I answered as we approached a giant sandbox. We watched as the camp cat, Mr. Fluffikins, walked in, went to the bathroom in the sand and then bury it. It was then I decided that I wouldn't be participating in this activity no matter how tempting it might be. I felt bad for counselors like Hosh-sama who have younger campers and might have to go to Sand Fun up to three times a week!
"Hi, I'm Mr. Kenneth." Said the young, male Sand Fun counselor. Then again, I felt worse for Mr. Kenneth who had to be the Sand Fun counselor. He took one look at Kazoom and paused. "Um…are you sure you guys have Sand Fun and now something like…parasailing?"
"Yes." I said, showing him our schedule. He shrugged and gestured for the boys to jump into the sandbox. They all seemed to get over the fact that they were too old to be playing with sand and immediately started making sand castles so I guess they hadn't noticed Mr. Fluffikins when he had come in and done his business in the sand.
I walked over to Mr. Kenneth who was standing there watching over them as if they really needed it. "Are you only the Sand Fun counselor?" I asked.
"Yeah." He replied. "It was my first year as a counselor last year so I got stuck with the stupid activity. Is it your first year?"
"Yes, and my last." I clarified. "I will never return." Now I knew even better not to return or else I would get stuck watching kids play in the sand all day for a week if I were a second year counselor but I wouldn't have come back anyway so it doesn't even matter.
"I was in Kazoom three years ago." Mr. Kenneth continued. I looked at him and tried to picture him as one of the horrible boys but then I remembered the transformation that Cool Dex went through so I figured that it wasn't unbelievable that this mildly handsome Mr. Kenneth used to be a Kazoom demon. Now, I'm not saying that I'm attracted to him, just that he was certainly not Kazoom material but then again, neither is Cool Dex so I'm confused! It made me start to wonder… was Hosh-sama ever a hideous and perverted pubescent boy? He must have been and still not fully recovered because he's still perverted…not that he's attractive or anything! He's just not HIDEOUS!! "Then I was the counselor for Kazoom last year."
I hoped I didn't look too uninterested. "Oh." I said. Maybe I would rather be the Sand Fun counselor as opposed to the Kazoom counselor.
"Just gotta show them who's boss." He added.
"You know, a lot of people have told me that." I said.
Suddenly, Cool Dex strutted over. "What's going down, Ms Sango?" he asked me.
"Um…" I was confused. That didn't make very much sense at all.
Sand Fun was by far the stupidest activity I had been to but I suppose Mr. Kenneth was decent and all the boys seemed to be so engrossed in building sandcastles and moats that they didn't bother me.
Next up on my list was tubing. I enjoyed that activity but I only enjoyed it when I was with Inu-Yasha's group. When I was with MY group, it was hell simply because I had to wear a bathing suit. But not today! Today, I will sacrifice my tubing time even though I will probably never get to do it again just so that I won't have to change into my bathing suit.
All the boys groaned when I told them that I would be sitting this activity out but they got over it when Mr. Darrin came over and escorted them all to the boating area.
Will I be able to endure one last day of this? Hey, I practically came back from the dead! Of COURSE I can do this!
A leaf floating around in the wind caught my attention. The leaf reminded me of Kohaku, how much I miss him and how much better a person he is than these boys. I started mentally making a list of reasons why Kohaku is better than Hosh-sama when I suddenly got a strange feeling.
You ever get one of those feelings when you feel as though someone's standing behind you staring at your back? Well, that's what I felt. I turned around to see Inu-Yasha standing there looking ever so pitiful.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. I feel as though I'm being stalked. Then again, that horrible Hosh-sama is always lurking around the corner! I bet he's behind Inu-Yasha or something planning to ambush me while my group is gone! That TERRIBLE Hosh-sama!
"Miroku's dead." Inu-Yasha said abruptly.
Had Inu-Yasha been reading my mind or something and known that I had been thinking nastily about Hosh-sama? Is this some kind of guilt treatment thing that Miroku is looking for so that I'll be very sad for him and then when I realize he's not dead I'll be all happy and treat him really well because 'you never realize what a good thing you have until you lose it?'. There's no way that that is ACTUALLY true. I was confused though.
"What?" I asked. He was going to give me a straight answer. Hosh-sama's not REALLY dead.
"Miroku was sucked into his air void and now he is dead." Inu-Yasha said solemnly.
"ALL RIGHT!!!" cheered some of the boys from my group who had finished their ride and were now fetching their towels.
"SHUT UP!!!" Inu-Yasha yelled. This had to be serious. Inu-Yasha wouldn't make this up.
Hosh-sama is dead.
Hosh-sama IS dead.
WHY is Hosh-sama dead?
Well…because he has a curse and it killed him but…WHY did he have to die? We were going to cure him!!
We could have been killing Naraku but we were here at this stupid camp! He keeps saying that his time is short but I always just shrug it off and think to myself, 'I'll kill Naraku soon and avenge Kohaku!' but…but…
Why must everyone I know DIE?! Is it something about ME?!
What happened next was all a blur. I just know that I was crying into Inu-Yasha's shoulder and he was leading me somewhere.
Hundreds of thoughts were going through my mind at that moment but I don't think that I was actually thinking.
Suddenly, I saw that Kagome was in front of me demanding to know what was wrong. I tried to stay calm and explain to her what happened but I don't think it came out quite that way.
The worst part is, Kagome didn't even seem to care.
I then felt Inu-Yasha tap me on the shoulder. I looked at him and saw that he was pointing somewhere. I followed his finger to a couch in which Hosh-sama was lying acting as though he didn't just die!
Even though…apparently…he didn't…
Was this a trick played on me?! Why would someone do something like that?!
I began to think my guilt treatment hypothesis was true. Hosh-sama had simply pretended to be dead and now wanted my sympathy!! What kind of perverted…DISGUSTING…sick bastard would do such a thing!! And the sad part is that I fell for it! I felt bad and I cried and I must have looked REALLY stupid!
I was about to yell at Hosh-sama when I heard him say something about me being gullible!
I couldn't even bring the words to me I was so angry. I stomped out of the room and slammed the door. Perhaps when I am not quite so infuriated then…
ARGH!! What kind of horrible trick was that?!
I reached the tubing area just as the bell rang and I led my group to swimming. WHY am I still doing this?! I have never been so terribly embarrassed in all my life!! I hate my group!! I hate Inu-Yasha!! I especially hate Hosh-sama!! I despise him so much! He's right up there with NARAKU!!
"Ms Sango, are you feeling all right?" asked Cool Dex. I looked up at him.
"Yes." I answered. "Everything's fine."
"Would you like me to take you to the nurse's office?" he asked. Hosh-sama's in the nurse's office and I don't want to be anywhere near him.
"NO!!" I yelled. I regretted yelling at him because he was only being polite but I suppose I can use the excuse of what he did to me during the first two days.
"I would feel better about myself if you would at least just go to get an ice pack or something." Said Cool Dex. I don't know why but I agreed to go. I would just ignore Hosh-sama and if he tried to talk to me, I would harm him so badly, he would wish he'd never been born.
I allowed Cool Dex to instruct the swimming class as I made my way up to the nurse's office to see Kagome putting an ice pack on Hosh-sama's head. Hosh-sama was sleeping, his face was all red and he just looked utterly pathetic. Perhaps someone had beaten him up for me.
"Feel better?" Kagome asked me.
"About what?"
"Finding out that Miroku's dead even though he's not had to have been pretty hard on you." She said. "I know you've lost a lot of people you care about but to lose MIROKU…"
What was she getting at?
"I think that was a horrible trick that he played on me!" I said as I looked away from Kagome so as not to have to see Hosh-sama.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"He had Inu-Yasha tell me that he was dead so that I would be sad and then when I found out he wasn't, I would be all happy and treat him really well because 'you never know what a great thing you have until you lose it'. And I fell for it!" I explained. I took a deep breath at the end because I had done it all in one breath.
"Where did you hear THAT?!" Kagome demanded. I was about to yell that it was the truth when I had to stop and admit to myself that I had sort of fabricated that story even though it probably was true.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"Miroku merely passed out and he was brought to the nurse." Kagome explained. "Miroku's camper thought that he was dead and told that to Inu-Yasha who immediately assumed that he died because of his air void!" Kagome then started laughing a little.
"And that's the entire truth?" I asked her as I turned around.
Kagome nodded.
Well…I certainly feel better all around. I mean, besides the fact that I feel bad for blaming Hosh-sama for something that, now that I think about it, he would never do.
"You shouldn't be in here though." Said Kagome suddenly.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because Miroku's dreadfully sick and he's also extremely contagious so unless you want to get what he has, I suggest you leave." She explained. I took another look at Hosh-sama and decided that I didn't want to look like him.
Poor Hosh-sama.
I was just about to leave when the nurse came around the corner and asked why I was here. "I just need an ice pack." I replied. The nurse went into the back and then came back with an ice pack and told me to leave. So, not feeling very wanted, I waved to Kagome and ran out the door just as the bell rang to signal that we had lunch next.
I looked at the ice pack in my hand, wondered why I had even bothered getting one and then tossed it in the trashcan. I walked over to the Kazoom table to find everyone already sitting there, all the boys folding their hands and sitting up very straight.
Cool Dex walked over to me. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine." I answered. So I sat down at the table and I could tell that every single pair of eyes was staring at me. I tried not to look at them but I felt very uncomfortable that I was being watched.
"So is Mr. Miroku dead?!" asked one of the boys. It doesn't matter. They all sound the same.
"No!" I yelled. "He's alive and it's not funny because he's very sick!"
"Maybe he'll die EVENTUALLY." Said another but he immediately threw his hands over his mouth because Cool Dex had shot him an evil glare. Because of these stupid boys, I now felt even worse that I went and accused Hosh-sama of trying to trick me that he was dead. He was innocent. And he's so very sick.
"I have to go to the bathroom." I declared as I stood up. I wasn't REALLY going to the bathroom. I was going to go to the nurse's office, wake Hosh-sama up and apologize for storming out of the room so rudely while he was sick. Hosh-sama's guilt trips work even when he's not even there! Or even when he's not trying for that matter! When I reached the nurse's office, I quietly pushed the door open just in case Hosh-sama was asleep even though I was going to wake him up anyway.
I immediately looked over at the couch were I had seen Hosh-sama earlier but he wasn't there. I suddenly became very horrified that maybe he had died and they had already taken him away to be buried but I saw Kagome standing over on the other side of the room.
"Where is Hosh-sama?" I asked, trying not to sound upset.
"He's in the bathroom." She answered, pointing at the door she was standing next to.
I would just wait for him to get out. "Okay, I'll just wait." I said. Kagome nodded as I sat down on a chair. We sat there for a few minutes without really saying anything. I tried to listen for any sort of movement inside of the bathroom just in case Hosh-sama had gone in there and just died and no one would know until it was too late. I didn't hear anything happening. Kagome didn't look very worried though.
"Sango, you look horribly stressed." She said suddenly. "Is it because you're worried about Miroku?"
"No!" I said immediately. Because it wasn't. But actually, it was, of course I would be worried if ANYONE was really sick and it wasn't really anything special about Hosh-sama. No…wait…I wouldn't be worried if Naraku was deathly ill and even though I previously stated that Hosh-sama is right up there with Naraku, I take it all back because it's not true since Naraku is a hundred million trillion times worse than Hosh-sama. You know what? I bet Naraku is a perverted lecher.
"You came all this way just to make sure he was all right!" Kagome sang as she started nudging me.
"Of course I did!" I yelled. "I would have done the very same thing for you or Inu-Yasha or Shippo too!"
"Yeah but you came REALLY fast!" Kagome continued. I was starting to get really angry at her. "Come on, we ALL know it. Why don't you just go and admit it? It'll make you feel a LOT better."
"Admit WHAT?!" I demanded. "I just wanted to make sure if he was alive!"
At that moment, Kagome looked at he door. "I'm actually not so sure anymore." She said.
"You're not?!" I said immediately.
"HA!!" Kagome laughed, pointing at me. "You are SO in love with him!"
"I am not!" I yelled.
"You so obviously are!" Kagome yelled even though she doesn't know any better. She started laughing. "I'm gonna check on him. Unless…YOU want to!"
"I don't!" I insisted. And just to prove her that I didn't care since I didn't, I decided to leave. I would come back to see if Hosh-sama was okay and apologize to him when Kagome WASN'T there or when she wasn't being so stupid. I went back over to the table where my group was having lunch still.
"You were in the bathroom an AWFULLY long time." Said Bort. I silenced him and sat down.
I didn't really eat anything, only sat there and wondered when I could possibly go and visit Hosh-sama. Of course, it's not like I was visiting him just for fun, I had to make sure that he was okay just like any normal FRIEND would do.
The bell rang and we were told to head for our next activity was actually group time. I led my horrible group over to the designated field area that we were supposed to practice our skits in. I hadn't had a chance to finish my lunch so I took it with me to group time.
Hubert came up to me and told me that they had the entire skit planned out and that they didn't want to me to trouble myself. I told him that it better be good and he reassured me, in his own perverted way, that it was. I said whatever and decided that this was a good time to finish my lunch.
As soon as I had finished, I thought that now was a very good time to visit Hosh-sama. Well…not VISIT him but go to him and apologize to him for accusing him of something. However, I had JUST been there and I didn't want Kagome to think that there was anything between us by showing up so soon after the previous time. I also remembered how big of a deal Hosh-sama and I had made over me missing group time yesterday and even though I'm not important to this skit at all, I didn't want it to look that way. I decided that I would go to him at the beginning of the NEXT period. Hopefully, Kagome won't even be there so I don't have to even worry about HER!
Suddenly Raphael came over to me and tapped my shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" I told him. He had to know his place.
"I just wanted to know a few things about you." Said Raphael. I found this utterly repulsive because I KNEW…I just knew that Raphael thought that maybe if he got to know me, I would soften up and consider him to be my boyfriend. I told him to get lost and that I would never tell him anything about me. He shrugged and walked back to the mass.
The bell couldn't have rung any earlier than it did. Looking at my schedule, I saw that my next activity was simply labeled 'Field Day'. I didn't know what this was but I told Cool Dex to lead everyone down there and that I would meet them down there. I told them that I had to go to the bathroom.
"But you went to the bathroom during lunch!" said Borris.
"It's a girl thing that you would never understand." I said quickly. All the boys blushed and acted as though just the fact that I had said that made them incredibly embarrassed.
So in their state of stupefaction, I ran to the nurse's office to quickly say what I needed to and leave before Kagome got on my case too much.
I opened the door and looked around. I saw a wet couch but no Kagome and no Hosh-sama. I begin to worry and think that maybe he had died when I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and noticed Hosh-sama on another couch in the corner of the room covered in blankets up to his eyes. I couldn't tell how sick he was (or wasn't) because I couldn't see him but I walked over to him.
"I'm sorry about how I acted, Hosh-sama." I said as I sat down on some really uncomfortable chair that was next to the couch. "But Inu-Yasha told me that you were dead and I was in shock."
Hosh-sama nodded at me but didn't say anything. Perhaps he had lost his voice or something so I was just about to say something else when the nurse came in.
"I finally got rid of Ms Kagome and you come in?!" she said somewhat rudely. "Mr. Miroku needs his rest for a little while. Leave him alone and come back a little later."
I had done what I came for and if I really wanted to see Hosh-sama again, I would have every day AFTER camp whether I liked it or not. I stood up and waved to Hosh-sama.
I said to myself that I was glad to have finally gotten that out of the way but I think I said it too loudly because Hosh-sama might have heard me.
I took my time getting back to field day. I took every side path I could think of, went back to the cabin for no reason and sauntered like there was all the time in the world. I reached the field only to find my group sitting on some benches throwing pies at each other in a very unorganized fashion.
"Where's Cool Dex?" I demanded. I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to meet Cool Dex.
"I was worried about you because you were gone for so long." He said. "So I went out to find you."
"I'm a big girl." I told him. "I can take care of myself."
"I just wanted to make sure." He said. The bell rang shortly after and we made our way over to our next activity which was 'Face Paint'. I noticed Inu-Yasha walking toward the pie throwing activity so I waved to him. He didn't wave back, however. THE NERVE!!!
Face paint was so incredibly stupid. I'm sure it would have been fun if my group was younger and didn't have horrendous acne all over their faces and asked for me to paint things like butterflies and rainbows. Unfortunately, my group is stupid so they asked for me to paint things like skulls and crossbones and blood. Bort asked for me to make him 'Harry Potter' and I didn't know what to do so I just took a sponge with purple paint on it and smeared it across his face. A few of the kids in my group laughed and I suppose I laughed WITH them because I thought it was really funny and it's not like I was laughing with them but laughing at Bort.
So I ended up doing a lot of Harry Potters and was actually starting to get the idea of just who Harry Potter was when I heard the bell ring. I whipped out my schedule to see that we now had to present all of our skits.
I sat down at a table since we were one of the first ones there and all the other boys sat down and started talking about how excited they were to present the skits and show me just what a good job they had done. I kind of dreaded the fact that I had to watch every single group in the entire camp do a skit but the first few were OKAY and mildly clever but then it started getting boring. I started looking around for maybe Inu-Yasha or Kagome or someone that I could exchange dialogue with during this time but I couldn't find them.
I could, however, locate Inu-Yasha when I heard him suddenly start yelling at someone. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it led me right to him since Mr. Shawn was now scolding him for yelling and interrupting the skits.
I quickly told my group that I had to go to the bathroom and ran off before they could tell me otherwise. I finally made it over to where I had heard Inu-Yasha to see that Hosh-sama was sitting down next to him. Hosh-sama must be feeling better! Well I guess that's good to hear.
"So what are your skits about?" I asked the two of them as I leaned over. I then noticed that Hosh-sama appeared to have been bitten by an uncountable amount of mosquitoes. I couldn't help myself and started laughing a little. "Don't let my group see you, Hosh-sama!" I knew that if my group saw him, they'd make fun of him so I suppose avoiding them is the only way to avoid that situation.
Hosh-sama didn't say anything or explain why he were covered with these hideous blemishes as Mr. Shawn told me to shut-up. Mr. Shawn then called Hosh-sama's group down but he didn't go down. I remembered the fact that his group all went home sick but Russell reminded Mr. Shawn and me that he was still there.
Then my group was called down so I got up and walked down to the stage area to where my horrible group was awaiting me. Cool Dex announced us.
"For our skit…" he said. "We are doing the dating game."
I wasn't in the skit so I sat back and watched. Apparently, Raphael was me, Borris was Hosh-sama and Dimitri and Travis were just random other unappealing characters.
Raphael would ask questions and Borris would answer them in the absolute stupidest way he could while throwing in hints that he was Hosh-sama such as the overuse of big words, stating the fact that we were supposed to get married numerous times while Raphael denied it and wearing a dark knee-sock on his arm.
I started feeling terrible. I should have supervised them better and then they wouldn't be making fun of Hosh-sama. I glanced up at Hosh-sama on the benches and he had his cheek in his hand as if he were incredibly bored.
The skit continued and Borris, Raphael, Travis and Dimitri's skit pretty much consisted of slamming Hosh-sama. Just when I was about to go over and demand that the only one who may harm Hosh-sama is me, Hosh-sama stood up.
"Borris, you abhorrent demon!! You're doing an atrocious job impersonating me!" he yelled. I looked at Borris to see what his reaction is but my group only continued the scene as if nothing had happened. The skit ended and I went and sat back down with Inu-Yasha.
"Um…how'd they do?" I asked him. He looked at me and then back in front with a look that I could tell he didn't care.
"It was amusing." He said. I was almost impressed, and nearly flattered but then it occurred to me that Inu-Yasha was lying. And doing a bad job at that too.
I was then about to apologize to Hosh-sama when I noticed that he was not there so I looked back at Inu-Yasha who obviously didn't want to talk but that's too bad for him. "Where'd Hosh-sama go?" I asked him.
"How should I know?" he replied.
I felt really bad. "Do you think he was offended by our skit?"
"At first, no." Inu-Yasha replied. "But when he ran off to cry or something, I changed my mind."
Hosh-sama ran off to cry?! Hosh-sama is not really one to cry so had we really offended him that much?! I have to go and find him and apologize as soon as possible. "Where did he run?" I nearly demanded. Inu-Yasha shrugged and then watched the skits some more. I knew he knew, so I continued to attempt to prod the information out of him but he seemed to be ignoring me and watching the skits as if they actually interested him.
"I would advise you and Sango to stay away from Miroku." I heard Kagome say. I turned around to see her standing behind Inu-Yasha, mostly speaking to him. Oh no. Hosh-sama must have become so distraught that he doesn't want to speak to us anymore. I feel so horrible! All of a sudden, Inu-Yasha's group got called down and even though I wanted to watch it, I had to find Hosh-sama and see if he's all right.
"I have to go to the bathroom." I told Kagome as I stood up and walked off. I don't really know why I bothered to tell Kagome. She was leaving and heading back to the nurse's office so it's not like it mattered to her. At all.
I walked around for a minute and then stopped, slapped my forehead and then remembered that Hosh-sama was ALSO in the nurse's office so why I had just blindly walked off in some random direction in vain hope that he'd be over there is just beyond me! So I headed back to the nurse's office just in time to see Kagome on her way back over, looking upset.
Had Hosh-sama died?
"Kagome, is Hosh-sama still alive?" I asked.
"YES!!" Kagome yelled at me. She was upset. She was crying.
"What's wrong, Kagome?" I tried to comfort her.
"Did you see Inu-Yasha's skit?" I shook my head. "It was all about his love life with Ms Keri! This whole time he was cheating on me right under my nose! Why didn't I see it before? I feel like such an idiot!"
That didn't seem right. I knew for a fact that Inu-Yasha made a point of AVOIDING Ms Keri. "I don't know if that's right…" I started.
"But his entire skit was about it!" Kagome argued.
"How do you know that he planned how it would come out?" I asked. After all, that's what happened with my group. That sounds good. I should say that. "After all, that's what happened with my group. I didn't have a single idea what they were doing the whole time!"
Kagome wiped her eyes and sniffled pathetically. "Really?" she asked.
I nodded. "Yeah!" I said.
Then she smiled. "So…what are YOU doing here?"
"I came to apologize to Hosh-sama!" I said. "For the skit!"
"HE should be the one apologizing to YOU for RUINING your skit!" Kagome said even though that made little sense. "Hurry and go!" She pushed me in the door.
I looked to find Hosh-sama to see that he was already on the couch. When I moved around it, I saw that he was asleep. Damn it, Hosh-sama! Why do you fall asleep so much and so fast?! All I want to do is apologize!!
"Oh…sorry." Said Kagome. I turned around. "I guess he's asleep. You shouldn't wake him up."
"I guess not." I said with a sigh. "I'll come by some other time."
"See you then!" Kagome said, laughing as she waved. I flung open the door and left before she could say anything else to me.
I found my group just as the last skit was finishing up. We went over to dinner and sat down at our table. We were served what looked like a disgusting blob of mush but my group ate it all. However, I decided to pass.
Mr. Shawn literally came out of nowhere and started making his little announcements and passing out awards to various campers and counselors. I didn't get an award, and neither did Inu-Yasha but Hosh-sama did. 'Counselor Most Likely to Return Next Year'. Yeah…if he lived through this one!
The last award was 'Camper Most Likely To Become a Counselor'. He then declared that he was going to race this camper to the campfire and that he'd meet all us there so they both ran out the door.
So we all paraded out the door on our way to the campfire. Mr. Shawn was standing in front bouncing up and down like an eager child and then asked for the loudest camper from each group to come down and represent them. I didn't really care which one went down since they all sounded the same so I booted…I don't know…Mario maybe? It could have been someone else.
Mr. Shawn then told them to scream as loud as they could and whoever screamed the loudest would get a basket full of chocolate. So they screamed. It was stupid. But…UNEXPECTEDLY ENOUGH, Mr. Shawn gave baskets of chocolate to ALL the kids and told them to share with the group.
Mr. Shawn settled us down and started a sappy speech. "This is the most enjoyable year I have ever had at Camp Walawalabingbang." He said. "It's years like this that make me want to return next year." The whole camp clapped for him. It took me a few minutes to realize that everyone was up on their feet clapping and hooting and doing other ridiculous things that I couldn't fathom why they thought that it was a good idea.
The dismissal was slow and painful and we finally we got to go back to our cabin to pack. I didn't really have anything to pack so I just walked around in a few circles, supervising the kids as they packed as if they really needed it. I didn't go to see Hosh-sama because I figured that since it was late, he was most likely sleeping.
So I decided right then and there that we would be hitting the hay and all the boys listened because Cool Dex forced them to. YAY!!
