Camp of the Chaotics
Chapter 17
Author's Note:
Sorry about the slow update, everyone! It's just that I had this chapter written, and then when I went to save it, my computer froze! I was so mad and just GRRRRRRRR! It's very confusing and I have been lost many times! Also, I have been working on two one-shots (Nutty, Behind the Screen Name; Shave Another Day [both will be posted soon!]) and start a new story (Red Lantern [will be posted soon!]). Anyway, thanks for all the reviews! They cheered me up and helped me resume my busy schedule! Keep up the good work, ego boosters! 200 reviews! SO HAPPY! THANKS EVERYONE!

Sango looked over to her friends. Both were glowering at the ground. She glanced over her shoulder to Miroku. Instantly, she wished she hadn't. He was staring, very intently, at Shampoo's butt. It took every ounce of her will power not to run over and slap him over the head. Instead, she followed the lead of her friends and glared at the ground.
Shaking her head sorrowfully, Kagome looked over to Sango and Akane, who were both clenching their fists, ready to rip something up.
She knew that they needed to do something. Something so disastrously, they would be able to mend their hearts. 'What am I thinking? I'm talking as if I'm in love with Inu Yasha! But what can we do? Something that is both humiliating and evil is a must. Hmm… '
Walking up to the girls, she tapped their shoulders. She whispered to them, "Emergency Guy-Humiliating meeting at our cabin!"
Sango and Akane nodded, their eyes questioning her.
'Ah… This should be good! Let's see… Where did I put my borrowed carving knife?' Sango thought wickedly.
'This is going to colorful… VERY colorful! I just love that shade of bruisy purple!' Akane thought, imagining Ranma writhing in pain. And when she saw him like that, she would laugh. Laugh because all the pain he cost her would be repaid onto himself.
"HEY, Inu Yasha! Is it just me or are some people real pains?" Ranma said loudly, glancing at Akane. 'Can't win them over, gotta play their game!'
"Yeah, some people! Especially girls!" Inu Yasha said, glancing at Kikyo, who was still on his back. He had no idea that Ranma meant Kagome, Akane, and Sango.
"Yup! And they can cause real pain, too!" Miroku chirped, remembering Sango's smack on the face.
While Inu Yasha clueless, Kagome, Akane, and Sango weren't.
Kagome felt an achy feeling in her chest. It was as if she wanted to cry, but being full of pride, she didn't.
Akane, however, ignored Ranma's comment. After almost a year of living with him, she had gotten use to every insult he used.
Sango, sometimes hotheaded, glared at Miroku. In a loud voice, she said, "OH YES, MIROKU! Some people are real pains! Aren't they, Akane?"
Akane nodded vigorously, her eyes flashing toward Ranma. "YEAH! And don't you want just to smack them when they're bitchin'?"
"Tell me about it!" Sango said, agreeing instantly. She suddenly realized that Kagome wasn't saying anything. She walked closer to her and nudged her shoulder. "What's wrong, Kag-chan?" she whispered.
"Nothing," was the simple reply.
Sango wanted to pry and find out who or what caused her friend such pain, but noticing the guys, didn't. "You better tell me later!"
No response was heard from Kagome.
Sesshoumaru spun around just before Akane and Ranma were going to get into yet another fight.
"Don't say a word," he hissed venomously.
Ranma gulped, nodding slowly.
Akane, being more of a 'I-don't-care' kind of person, just tossed her head and haughtily said, "Humph"
"Whoa! How'd you do that, Sesshoumaru?" Miroku asked, jealous. "Man, it must be great to have such awesome reflexes! Then I wouldn't get hit so much!"
"You don't seem to know how bitchy women can get during PMS." He winced, remembering a current cat fight at his 'solon'. "Man, they can slap when they're mad!"
"You're telling me!" Miroku and Ranma said at the same time.
"Yeah, I already know. Now shut up and keep it that way!"
"Yes, sir," was everyone's mumbled response.

The rest of the hike went on quite smoothly, despite many pointed remarks.
At their cabin, Kagome, Sango, and Akane were finally having their meeting.
"Do what do we do? I'm thinking, beat them up," Sango said.
"Well, that's good, but there's no humiliation," Kagome said, pointing out the flaw.
"We could beat them up, and then hang their boxers outside their cabin?" Akane suggested. She, too, was keen on causing the guys pain of any sort.
"Good, but what if Kikyo, Shampoo, Kadochi, and the rest of them saw? They would totally go crazy!" Kagome objected. She winced at a sudden vision of Kikyo playing 'Guess Whose Boxers These Hotcha Babies Belong To'.
"So what do you think we should do?" Sango asked, exasperated.
"I don't know!"
The girls sat, silent and solemn.
"We could just trash their cabins!" Akane offered.
"That would be fun!" Sango said.
"Yeah! And we can TP it!" Kagome said.
"But the thing is, we don't get to really embarrass them," Akane said mournfully.
"You're right!"
Suddenly, Kaede walked into the cabin.
"Oops! Hope I didn't catch you girls in something important!" she said, cheerful because she didn't work that much that day.
"Oh no, Kaede-san!" Kagome said, hoping she hadn't heard what they were just talking about.
"Well, it's just that the camp secretary just quit her job when some guy groped her and now I don't have anyone to type and print out a camp newsletter!"
"Miroku," Sango whispered under her breath.
"So, I was wondering if you girls would do it in her place. All you need to do is type the schedule of our activities and a news section."
"What do you mean, 'News Section?'" Kagome asked, ideas popping into her head.
"Well, you know, little facts about people at the camp, gossip, that kind of thing," Kaede explained.
Kagome's brain hit the 'Jackpot' button. 'This is so going to be perfect!' she though happily. "We'll do it!" she said.
Sango and Akane cast her looks, but also nodded.
"Oh, arigato, girls!" Kaede looked relieved.
After she left, Sango and Akane cornered Kagome.
"What do you have in mind?" Akane asked, cocking her head.
"Well… We'll dig up some dirt on Inu, Ranma, and Miroku, and we print it in the newsletter! It'll be perfect! Their worst fears, deepest secrets, that kind of thing! We'll embarrass them, and the whole camp will know!" Kagome explained.
"OMG! That is so awesome! I can't wait!"
"Totally!"
"Okay, I already have some stuff on Ranma, but what about you guys?" Akane asked.
"Well, there's Kouga, and that freaky scary dude, Naraku, and I'm pretty sure they both hate Inu Yasha. I can probably get Kouga to get some info on Miroku, too," Kagome said thoughtfully.
"Okay! Thanks, Kag-chan!" Sango said happily.
"Well, we better get over there and start asking questions!"

Yo, peoples! Sorry for the super short chapter, but I promise the next update will be really fast. Actually, the next chapter will not be an actual chapter, but a short parody kind of thing. It's called, "A Day Fluffy's Salon," and is just a little piece about what Sesshoumaru's day is like! It will be up in no less than two weeks!
