Nothing is as it Seems by DemonMiko
~*~Chapter 2: Partners~*~
Kagome was scowling for what seemed like the millionth time that day. She was just in an irritable mood for no apparent reason. Sango was worried about her friend. Who could blame her for being worried? 'Usually Kagome's in a pleasant mood except for when some poor soul argues with or irrates her, then all of Hell breaks loose around her but there was no one around for her to argue with. Maybe it's just PMS, but I've never seen her act like this before. I DON'T KNOW! Kami, all of this thinking is giving me a major headache.' Sango was beginning to get a little grouchy herself. 'Or maybe it's just being trapped on the island for so long. Of course! That's why everyone here is feeling grumpy. We've never actually been imprisioned on a miserable island for two weeks before.'
The two girls stood up very suddenly. It seemed that they had the same idea: swimming and volleyball! They were bored; very bored so they ran all the way to the pool. But the pair couldn't help but feel that they had forgotten something important.
Sango halted suddenly in the hallway, causing Kagome to run into her.
"Hey! Why did you stop?" Kagome asked annoyed.
"Um.Kagome?"
"What?!" She hissed through clenched teeth. The bordem was getting to her big time.
"What time is it?"
"How the hell am I supposed to know?" She looked down at her wrist anyway. "It's almost 3:00." First she said it calmly then she did a double take, "Oh my GOD! It's almost 3:00! Kouji's going to be on the screen any minute now. HURRY!"
Again those two made a mad dash to the communication room. This time they made it with time to spare. After catching their breath, Kouji was on the screen.
"Good afternoon Kagome, Sango." Kouji said cheerfully, a bit too cheerfully for the teens.
"What's the latest development?" Sango cut right to the chase.
"Any more news on Naraku?" Kagome was impatient to know.
"Yes as a matter of fact there is more news on him. He and his partner Kagura have been spotted in Tokyo meeting a gang or organization of some sort. It seems that they created an alliance that just keeps getting larger and larger. Also, Naraku and Kagura are both demons. Naraku is a shape shifter and Kagura is a wind demon. Be careful. Now that we know that he is a shape shifter you have to be alert and on guard; he could be anybody but you don't have a thing to worry about right now though. With all that security around you, there's no way that he could get to you guys that easily."
'A little too much security if you ask me.' Kagome thought bitterly.
"There is also more news of your alliance with Inu and Houshi. The alliance is offical."
"Yeah!" Sango and Kagome yelled at the top of their lungs causing Kouji to cover his ears.
"Will you two SHUT UP and listen to what I have to say!" Kouji patience was running low.
"..." The two promptly shut up before the fired the both of them.
"That's much better. Well anyway before I was rudely interupted," He gave them both a glare that could kill, "They will be visiting you, I believe, tomorrow. After about a week or so of staying on the island you will be free to pick up on your mission. You will be picking up where the others left off. I'll have more information when your partners arrive. Over and out." With that he disconnected again.
"WHAT!?! ANOTHER WEEK?" Sango exploded while Kagome daydreamed.
Sango noticed Kagome's blank stare and waved a hand in front of her face.
"Hello, Kagome. Earth to Kagome. HEY, ANYBODY IN THERE?" She finally screamed.
"Oh, what did you say? I was off in a daze." Kagome watched confused as Sango fell onto the floor.
"You mean to tell me that you JUST heard me?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
Sango looked at her bewildered. 'Geez, I can't believe that she couldn't hear me.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hurry and wake up Kagome!" Sango was trying to wake 'Sleeping Beauty'. Kagome rolled over in her bed and muttered something about it being too early to get up. Sango's eyebrow twitched. 'That's the last straw!' She grabbed the ends of Kagome's blanket and pulled as hard as she could. Kagome was tangled in the blanket so she woke up as she hit the floor.
As she looked up she saw Sango looking down at her with an annoyed expression.
"What?" Kagome didn't like that look except for when she herself had it.
"Kagome," Sango was speaking with an evil looking grin on her face, " Do you know what day it is?"
"Um."
"Today is the day that we have to meet our partners. Remember? They're getting here at 1:00 and do you know what the time is?"
Kagome shook her head groggily.
"Well 'Sleeping Beauty' for your information the time is offically 12:27."
"So?"
"Do you know how much fucking time you take to get ready in the morning? Well I'll tell you that you take FOREVER!"
"Fine, Kami, I'll hurry!" Kagome didn't like being woken up like that. (Who does? Not me ^_^)
Sango was sitting in their kitchen eating lunch when Kagome walked in half an hour later. She had bags under her eyes. She wasn't a morning person even though it's almost 1:00.
"Coffee. Must have Coffee."
"Here." Sango handed her a big cup of coffee.
Gulping it down, Kagome asked, "Sango, It's 1:00 and the guys aren't here yet."
"Maybe they're just running late."
"I hope that's the case."
"Hey where's Shippo?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"I have a favor to ask him."
&~&~&~&~&~&~&~On a plane on the way to the island~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&~&
"Hey! Miroku, you know that you made us late!" A boy in his late teens was yelling at his friend.
"What's the matter Inuyasha? Miss your girlfriend, Kagome?" Miroku had a perverted grin on his face.
"Hey, get your fucking mind out of the gutter!" Inuyasha was blushing anyway. "I just kinda miss her that's all. Plus nothing happened!"
"Sure Inuyasha, whatever you say." Miroku didn't believe him. "I get it. You're just worried that when she lost her memories she forgot you. Am I correct?"
"Feh."
"I'll take that as a 'yes'. Well she really liked you last time so who says that she doesn't remember you? Just give her time when you get there."
Inuyasha thought about what his friend said. "I like that advice Miroku, but wouldn't it help if you took your own advice instead of groping every girl within range? Oh, and this time be careful around Sango. She just got this killer giant boomerang. It's so cool."
"You're acting like a kid again."
"So what? Should I hide my inner child?" Inuyasha looked as if he could bounce up and down the walls.
"You're high on sugar again aren't you?"
"I don't know. Could be!" Nothing was more scary than a hanyou high on sugar on an airplane than an angry woman.
"Oh, look we're here." The plane landed on the runway smoothly.
As the two walked off the plane they were greeted by a little six year old kitsune.
"Hi! My name's Shippo and you two must be the two that Kagome said were coming." He smiled brightly.
"Right, well where are they?" Inuyasha wanted to find them.
"Now they are at the pool, sun bathing. They said that you two could join them as soon as you freshened up a bit and changed. I'll show you where you're staying for the week." He hopped into the air and he was headed toward the mansion.
"This way." Shippo pointed. "Miroku, this is your room and Inuyasha, this one's yours. See ya!"
'Great. Now were stuck with that little kit that we saved last mission. He must not remember us.' Inuyasha watched as the kit ran out the door.
*Knock, knock
"Who's there?"
"It's Miroku! Let me in." He was pounding on the door.
"No way in hell am I letting you walk through that. Huh?" Miroku turned the door knob and stepped in.
"What were you saying?"
"How?"
"Easy, I turned the knob." Miroku said brightly. "Say, didn't Shippo say that the girls are outside, sun bathing?" On his face was a perverted grin.
"Didn't I tell you earlier to get your mind out of the gutter?" Inuyasha asked.
"I don't remember." Miroku lied, scratching his head.
"I think that you've been wacked on the head one too many times. Just be careful now, Sango is here too so if you don't want to be in your grave by the end of this mission, remember to keep your hands to yourself." -_-' (Like that's going to happen!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome stepped out of the pool just as she saw Shippo bouncing towards her. She looked down at her watch and sat down to dry off. It was 1:48.
"Where are they?" Kagome asked impaciently. Her bad mood from yesterday hadn't gone away yet.
"Um Kagome, I just showed them to their rooms." Shippo looked up at her cutely. "Should I tell them to get down here?"
"Well." Kagome began.
"No need for that my Lady Kagome." Miroku stood in front of her. He picked up her hand and kissed it, a bit too long for Kagome though. She pulled her hand away.
Inuyasha now stood behind Miroku and wacked him on the head before Sango got to him.
"Hey Miroku. Hi Inuyasha. Why'd you wack him? I wanted to." Sango complained, giant boomerang in hand.
"You get a wack at him next time."
Miroku turned around. "Ah, my dear, lovely Sango. How I missed you." He hugged her and his hand wandered to where it didn't belong. Sango didn't wait. She smacked him on the cheek ao hard that he flew into the pool with a lound *SPLASH!
Kagome was still having trouble remembering them.
"Hey Kagome. How are you doing?" Inuyasha sat down in a chair across from her. She looked up and saw Inuyasha and his well toned body in a pair of red swim trunks.
"I'm fine. Why?"
"I just wanted to know if you had all of your memory back yet."
"No. I still have trouble remembering who you are. Sango I remember because I've been with her since I left the hospital."
Inuyasha looked thoughtful.
"Well maybe if I spend more time with you then you'll remember me."
"I." She didn't finish her sentence. (She hasn't been able to recently has she?)
*BEEP, BEEP
The security alarm had sounded.
