Chapter 2 : getting prepared

*Disclaimer: Not only do I not own Inuyasha and Ranma 1/2, but I lost my juicyfruit!!!! ^_^*

the plane ride was longer than they expected but they arrived still without any problems. The three then checked into a hotel (one of the fanciest of them all!!) and began to unpack. Noticing Sango only brought along a two shirts and a skirt and short,(all Kagome's) Akane suggested, "How about we go shopping now? Sango will need a bathing suit since and I think I need one too. my old one is getting to small." "ok Akane I'll get one too since I forgot to pack it. and we'll see if Kuno can afford it" Kagome with the rest smiled evilly while holding up the credit card. Kagome changed into a dress, with spaghetti straps that cut off at mid-thigh colored blue to match her with flip-flop shoes. Akane wore short shorts to show off her thighs and a T-shirt which she rolled up, along with flip- flops. Sango used Kagome's dark pink skirt that also cut short to, along with a pink tank-top (guess what shoes?). she also wore her hair up. Together the three left the hotel and called the taxi, and headed for the mall followed by three suspicious characters.

*************where we left the boys

Ranma awoke with his face resting on the carpeted floor inside Kagome's home. not only did his cheek still carry a sting but now his head had an enormous bump. "awake yet human? gods you truly are weakling." He looked up to see a boy that looked like his age. he was tanned with long white hair and unusual set of dog ears on his head. Ranma was going to use his hand to push him up only to realize the were strapped behind his hands. he looked up to see the same with the dog boy. he also noticed a scroll on his strappings probably to make sure they don't break. Ranma assumed the same about him. so with a grunt of effort he sat up just as another boy came out with some of Ranma's clothing!! "no this doesn't suit me very well." Miroku looked at the mirror in front and frowned. "hey!!" Ranma didn't know how he got the bump on his head or why he was tied up but he knew that that guy was responsible. "what'da ya think your doing?!" Miroku just smiled, "glad you woke up now to explain..." both pairs of eyes followed Miroku to the phone where he pushed a button. there Kagome's voice appeared.

"Hey mom, Akane came by and we decided to go to the Natsu beach. Sango is coming along as well. we'll be gone for a week the least. kay by Kagome. *BEEP*"

"I found that message when I bumped into the table while dragging you two. I know you are looking for Akane and we two are looking for Kagome and Sango. I suggest we join forces to find the ladyfolk. " *both grumbles* 'fine' "Good, now do any of you know how to get to Natsu beach?" Ranma nodded "it's a while from here but I think I know how to get to it from here faster." "Houshi, get me out of these damn bindings!!!" three minutes later.. Everyone wearing own clothing and rope tied to everyone's foot connecting them. Inuyasha: "explain why we have to connect eachother to ourselves?" Ranma: " just do as I say! now who is the strongest?" Inuyasha: 'feh. me." Ranma ok... now throw us as hard as you can towards those trees *points towards trees* Miroku & Inuyasha: ...... Ranma: not strong enough? Inuyasha: *nerve pops* *grabs Ranma by hand and throws him hard. then gets Miroku and throws him farther. *suddenly feeling a tug goes flying away*

Minutes later

Ranma landed swiftly on the grass looking up to see a hotel. turns around to see Miroku using a pillow to soften his landing followed by Inu-chan. As three of them get up they all noticed their targets leaving the hotel and getting to a cab before they could get them. they couldn't reach them since feet were connected. All six characters are in the same city. Some vacation this will be.

*************meanwhile

Kuno looking through his mail, "I don't remember paying for a skirt" *Then looking evilly* "oh siiiisssteeerr...."
