Hey, this is the fourth chapter! Kagome is helping me out with her dialogue, and Rei's helping with hers...I just want to do this on my own! I've said it once, now I'll say it again!!!

(Shippou) Hiya Shina! Got any candy for me?
(Shina) Why, I just happen to have some! *hands over 3 dark chocolate bars* Go have fun, but try not to get a toothache!
(Taro) *watches Shippou leave* Don't ya think you're too sweet on him? Ba-dum-tinsh!
(Shina) That's a good joke, Taro! I'm in a very good mood, thank the kami for that!
(Taro) So that's why you didn't 'ding' me! I'm lucky and I'm gonna go now! *exits & closes the door behind him*
(Shina) Hey, wait up! I'm not going to be missing a chance to date Hojo!!! *slams into the closed door* Itai! Folks, I meant to do that, this is only the first day of the festival, so I plan on having more fun! Just not this painful...Oh, Inuyasha you just missed Taro.
(Inuyasha) I still don't like what I'm wearin'! *growls*
(Shina) *gulps* I'll be going now! *runs out after opening the door*
(Rei) *comes in from the porch with a baton* Hey Inuyasha, move a little to the left.
(Inuyasha) Why?
(Rei) You'll thank me later! *throws it somewhere into ch.5* Now I'll wait a bit for it to come back!
(Inuyasha) ...

A Fun-filled Spring Break
Chapter 4
Recap: We finally see why the girls are so worked up about the Cherry Blossom Festival! Shina's planning on doing something with Hojo, and Taro is still mad at Rei for dragging him there. Inuyasha is a bit confused at why Kagome wanted him to come, but 'The stupid wench would have went crying on me!' Ooh, I would have liked to see the look on his face before he ran off like that!
"So how long is it gonna take to get there, miss know-it-all?" Taro remarked before grumbling again. "Can't ya go any faster? I've seen you chase me around faster than this, thanks ta Shina's replay thing."
"Taro-kun, you have to look dignified in a kimono like this. You can't just run without putting some effort into not tripping!" Rei had on a beautiful light blue feminine kimono with a pink cherry blossom petal print. She had her brown hair out of that small braid, and she looked different by some factor! "That so-called 'replay thing' is a VCR. You can play back things that were recorded on a tape cassette that way."
"Heh, I bet Inu's havin' more fun than me right now...Lucky hanyou!"
"I bet he's having less trouble wrapping Kagome around his clawed index finger!" Joked Rei seriously. I can't believe he hasn't tried to run away yet!
Well, we'll just have to see about that Shina! I'm the author, so I can check on them now! I know, I know. But let's see what's going on. (Inuyasha) Don't even think about it, tomboy! (author) Fine! I'll leave that up to them to guess!
"Ow-ow-ow! Kagome, why are ya doin' this to my hair?"
"Careful, don't want me to drop what I've done so far...Just so that you could complain about it hurting when I start again!"
"Ya know, you are reminding me of Sesshoumaru! He used to torment me so much when we were younger, an' he's still long-winded just the same!"
"...And that does it! I'm all done now, Inuyasha. Come on, to the festival!"
"Don't ya forget the ramen stands that are there too!" Inuyasha grinned as he picked up Kagome and started running at top speed towards the Cherry Blossom Festival.
Let's go back in history a bit, because Miroku & Sango have been bugging me for more than just bit parts. Sesshoumaru, Rin, Kiara, & Kouga you'll get your turn too, just wait until the next chapter!
"I wonder where Inuyasha is." Miroku mused. "He should have been back by now with Kagome, and we're getting wet waiting for them."
"You've got a point there, houshi. Help me set up a tent, if you'd like to." Replied Sango, getting wetter by the second by the dry well. We might get sick if we stay out here with no protection for too long!
"Sango, I agree. Once we've done that, we could go to see the cherry trees."
"Honto ni? Well, let's get started!" Sango turned around, believing Miroku didn't have any hidden motives this time. She just missed his smile turning a bit lecherous by *checks her watch* five seconds after she turned around.
This is not smart, but she's got her guard down...
Sango felt his wandering hands and reacted extremely fast from her position. He was punished by another lump on his head by her hiraikostu; along with that all-to-familiar shout. "HENTEI!!! Why do you always try to do that *thwack* when I'm not looking?! You should *thwack* be ashamed!" How did he ever become a monk with those habits???
"O-ow! It was dirt on your clothes! Really, this time it was!" She must like me a lot by the way she hits me. This week I got away with it once without getting hit. Or maybe I'm getting better at this? "My dear Sango, would I do such a thing for real?"
"It hasn't stopped you from trying before!!"
Shippou woke up and held his paws to his little ears. "I'm trying to be nice, but could you keep it down?"
Ten minutes later, the tent is up and the rain stopped.
"Ah good, now we can go to the festival in Kaede's village!" Since Miroku didn't have the kaazan in his right hand anymore, since Naraku had been beaten; he decided to use that strip of black cloth as a blindfold. "You change first. I'm staying right here for a bit."
"Then why did you do use that black cloth for a blindfold?"
"So I won't get hit for any reason, my dear Sango."
"Get that smirk off your face before I think twice about not hitting you!"
Back at the present for us...
"Wow, this place is big!" Stated Taro in awe. "Lookit all those lanterns, they're everywhere!"
"Taro, don't ya think you look ridiculous with your hair like that?" Inuyasha suppressed a laugh from coming out as he saw one of his friends.
"I ain't the only one in that category, Inu! Come on, you are topping Shina in the weird kimono category, but that's expected of her wardrobe!"
"Watch your mouth, furball! Look who's right behind you, then apologize!" Stated Shina from behind Taro.
"Eep!" Was all he could manage for two seconds, and then he complied. "Gomen!"
"That's better. Ooo, Hojo, let's go see what sweets they have right there!"
I won't scream, I won't scream. I won't scream out loud! *screams* I'm better now. "Sure, let's go!"
After Hojo & Shina were out of earshot, Inuyasha let his feelings get the better of him. "If he dares to try anythin' funny on Kagome, he'll regret it!"
"Hey, I'll see you later, I'm getting dragged off by Taro-kun!" Rei blushed after that.
"'Taro-kun'? Did I hear right?! Rei's 'Taro-kun' is funny as Rin callin' my nitwit brother 'fluffy'!"
"You keep out of this, Inu! I'm doin' this for my health!" Come to think of it, I can smell sushi from here!
"Hey, now you have a reason to run away from Rei, don't ya Taro?"
Rei just glanced around, first to Kagome, and then back to the guys who were just laughing for the heck of it. "Ano ne, isn't the festival about to begin?"
"Sure, whatever Rei." Hm? I haven't smelled that scent in a long time...But is Piper really here? "Let's go over there. I wanna see that stand." Ah well, at least I can't be mopin' all the time! Sushi, here I come to eat!
"Taro, did you smell somethin'?"
"Outside of sushi, nothin' at all."
Inuyasha just stood there, thinking for a little while. "Kagome, it's pretty boring here. Let's go before the monk starts to worry too much!" Suggested Inuyasha, looking pretty bored at this time. After that, he made a beeline for the dry well; carrying Kagome with him.
"Inuyasha, put me down! The festival hasn't even started yet, and we're going back?!"
"Ya see, I left Miroku and Sango out there. We prolly don't want a dead monk because he tried that too much."
***********************************************************************
(Shina) Well, that's it for chapter 4. Please tell me what you think!
(Inuyasha) *laughing hard* Taro's nickname is funny!
(Taro) So's 'fluffy'!
(Rei) *sweatdrop* Why's it so loud here?
(Inuyasha, Shina & Taro) No reason, just a convo!
(Rei) Ohh, I see. I'm glad that you got this chapter done so we can get an opinion from our few readers!
(Shina) Anyway, I bet I'm doing good! What's with that look? I didn't say what you were wearing.
(Miroku) Shina, you should see what Sango's wearing! It's just so beautiful that...Well, I did get away fast!
(Sango) HENTEI!!! *thwack*
(Miroku) OW...@_@
(Inuyasha) That still doesn't help how I'm feelin' much, tho' Miroku deserved that!
(Shina) WILL you can it?! You've said that about 5 times, or was it 4? I forget a lot of things!
(Hojo) You take too long Shina! Come on, the festival's started!
(Shina) Oh, it has? Bye readers, be on the lookout for chapter 5!
