KNY: REVIEWS! I GOT REVIEWS!!!!!! YAYNESS!!!!!!!!!
Bun-Bun: How, I don't know why.
KNY: Be quite you, or I'll have roast rabbit for dinner. Oh, sorry this is my muse, Bun-Bun.
BB: Hi, my favorite phrase is, "TIME TO DIE NERD-BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
KNY: Now, now Bun-Bun, don't make me take away your switchblades again. (whispers to reader, "I just got rid of some of his homicidal urges.") Anyway, Thanks to DragonQueen, KoorimeHiei, 1slylittleangel, and Kaeru Soyokaze for reviewing.
DragonQueen: Thank you so much for reviewing my poem!! I've never gotten reviews for my poems! If you liked that one, try "Flame-Tressed Suitor" also by me! I'm sorry the last chapter was so confusing! I confused myself writing it! @___@ *faints *
BB: * looks at KNY* pathetic.
KNY: *glares* Shaddup, you dumb bunny.
KoorimeHiei: I greatly appreciate your continued support and I might just take you up on your offer of help.
1slylittleangel: See, I'm updating!! Don't kill me, AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Kaeru Soyokaze: Sorry if it's a bit weird seeing your name in this story, just remember, I'm writing about my character, not you. BTW, thanx for the pug!!!
(She gave me a pug for being a good author! ^____^)
KNY: Bun-Bun… -____- x * glares at muse who was hopping towards the pug, switchblades in hand*
BB: What?
KNY: At least I'm not like your last owner, remember?
(flashback)
Owner: Listen Bun-Bun, you are supposed to be the cute, talking animal! Enough with the attitude!
BB: Bite me, Nerd-Boy.
Owner: * mutters* Maybe he'll be more amiable after I get him neutered.
BB: * pounces on owner and beats the tar out of him*
BB: Use the N-word around me again and I'll do it to you, with a spoon.
(end flashback)
BB: * shudders* Don't remind me.
KNY: Sorry the last chapter was so short. I'll try to make this one longer. This particular chapter is more for romance fans, but there will be Kuwabara bashing involving Hiei and fireworks!!!!!! * grins evilly* Also some mild Yusuke bashing. I'm suffering from the evil writers block!!!!!!! :'(
Disclaimer: I don't own YYH or Inu-Yasha and if you sue me, all you'll get is a dollar that my Grandma gave me!
This chapter is a tribute to the good, old US of A! Happy B-Day!!! I spent all weekend thinking up this chapter.
(*…*) thoughts
("…") spoken
this, (…), is me interrupting and annoying the heck out of you all. ^____^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Hangman's Isle) (thanks DragonQueen for the name!!!)
The group had just signed in for their hotel rooms. Unfortunately, they would have to share a room with someone. Here are the roommates. (the rest of the IY gang left because I said so and I have divine, authoress powers!!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!)
Kia and Kagome
Kurama and Inu-Yasha
Yusuke and Kuwabara
Hiei
(Hiei had a room to himself because he wanted it that way and no one desperately wanted to argue with him.)
"Attention, may I have your attention please!" the annoying fox-lady yelled into her megaphone. "In honor of the Dark Tournament's grand opening, there will be a picnic and fireworks display this evening at the big field next to the ahem… 'ring', but you're on your own as far as food goes!"
Kia and Inu-Yasha both yelled, "WILL YOU SHUT-UP WITH THE MEGAPHONE ALREADY!!!!! WE CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE, WE'RE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!" and started rubbing their sore ears. "Ow…"
"Kagome?" Kia asked.
"Yeah?"
"What are fireworks?"
At this, the Yu Yu gang facefaulted.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'WHAT ARE FIREWORKS'?!?!?! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!?!?" Yusuke yelled
Kia calmly replied, "Feudal Japan."
The Yu Yu boys: "HUH?!?!"
"We'll explain later."
"Please do."
"At least we don't have to worry about the food issue," Yusuke remarked, "We have two girls with us!"
"And who, pray tell, said we were going to cook for anyone?" Kagome said, more than slightly ticked.
Yusuke looked shocked at her question. "Of course you're going to cook. That's what girls do, after all."
"Oh, so all we're good for is playing waitress to smart-alek men like you?" Kia said, voice dangerously soft.
"No, no that's not what I meant at all! Guys…?!"
"You're on your own, Yusuke. You got yourself into this mess and now you can get yourself out," was the others answers on the subject.
After Kia and Kagome had finished beating the tar out of Yusuke, (YAY girls! ^___^) Kurama judged that it was safe to approach them.
"If you would," he asked politely, "could you make some lunch for us too? Unless Inu-Yasha is a good cook, we're in trouble. We're kinda hopeless when it comes to cooking."
"I guess we could…" Kia replied, "Kagome?"
A wide smile spread across Kagome's face as she turned to the now very bruised, Yusuke. "So the big, strong guys need help from us weak, little girls, huh? I guess we could help the poor, hopeless Yusuke," Kagome said in a voice normally used for a two-year-old as she poked the half-dead youth.
"I'm never going to live this down, am I, Kurama?" Yusuke asked painfully.
"Nope!" the kitsune grinned broadly at the despaired expression on the black-haired teen's face.
"Lunch might take a while to get ready, so meet us at the field in about an hour," Kia instructed the boys. "Come on, Kagome!"
"Coming!!"
And so the girls went off to prepare lunch!
(the field, one hour later)
"Okay, everyone. Lunch is served!" Kagome proclaimed.
"Looks great!"
"Thanks!"
And other such positive comments greeted the hard-working girls.
Inu-Yasha – Ramen (duh!)
Kurama – Rice balls, sweet and sour chicken, and shrimp rolls (yummy!)
Hiei – Cajun chicken teriyaki, rice, and egg rolls (um… no comment)
Kia – Chinese bread, sweet & sour chicken, and rice (yum! ^___^)
Kagome – Oden (of course!)
Yusuke – A sandwich (boy, didn't they work hard for his lunch?)
Kuwabara – "Uh… I knew we forgot someone!"
"The annoying fox-lady said the fireworks should begin at sunset," Kagome said. "It's almost dark now."
Yusuke then unpacked the bag with the blankets to sit on… "Uh-oh."
"That doesn't sound good," Inu-Yasha remarked.
Yusuke smiled sheepishly and said, "Instead of packing one big blanket, I accidentally packed 3 and a half blankets."
"And just how did you manage to pack a half blanket?" Kia asked sweetly with a stress mark on her head.
"Good question!" Yusuke replied as he scratched the back of his head.
Everyone but Yusuke: FACEFAULT
"Looks like we're going to have to share blankets," Kurama observed.
Yusuke grinned pervertedly at Kia and said, "I'll be happy to share a blanket with the lady!"
Kia then malleted Yusuke into the ground for being a jerk.
Kagome dragged Yusuke off and said, "Since you can't behave, you have to share a blanket with Kuwabara!"
Yusuke whimpered like a puppy and tried to get away, but Kagome tied him to the blanket. (Go, Kagome!!!)
Hiei got the half blanket, of course, and because Kurama had to put up with Inu-Yasha at night, Kagome got stuck sitting next to Inu. That left Kurama and Kia together on a blanket. (This is Anak's doing.)
"Hey, Kurama!" Yusuke called to the fox.
"Yes, Yusuke?" he replied.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do! Got that fox-boy?"
This caused two things to happen. #1: Kurama blushed the color of his hair and #2: Kia pounded him into the ground again! (YAYYY!!!!)
When Kia got back from teaching Yusuke a painful lesson, Kurama said, "Y-you know I wouldn't really do what Yusuke was hinting, right?"
She smiled sweetly and replied, " I know you wouldn't, Kurama. I haven't even known you all that long, and I feel as though I can trust you."
This unexpected praise only made Kurama blush even deeper.
Kia then frowned and leaned closer to the flustered fox, until they were close enough to kiss (of course, she wasn't aware of this, again with that innocent, naivety) and said, "Are you all right, Kurama?"
"Huh?" he asked intelligently. He had been entirely focused on the fact that her face was three inches from his.
"Your face is all red."
"Oh, that, ahem, I got a sunburn." *A sunburn? Kurama you idiot! What a lame excuse!* he thought furiously.
However, she simply smiled with a slightly puzzled expression and thought *What's with these boys? They keep getting these sudden sunburns. That's what Hiei said when I asked him about it. Hmm…*
When the fireworks began, Kia ooooo'd and ahhhh'd over their magnificence. Her child-like enthusiasm proved to be contagious as Kurama found himself looking at them as if, he too, saw them for the first time.
Then, a familiar yell was heard as Kuwabara flew into the air, attached to a REALLY big bottle rocket. Hiei was on his blanket smirking, for of course he was the culprit. The sparks from the rocket then caused a chain reaction, setting off all the other fireworks with the biggest one headed straight for a shell-shocked Kurama.
"KURAMA!!!!" Kia screamed in desperation as she shoved him out of the way. Kagome had done the same with Inu-Yasha.
When the blaze died out, the others raced over to see what had happened.
Kia stood up shakily and said, "I, managed to cast a shielding spell right before it hit…" and with that, passed out from exhaustion.
Kurama sighed in relief and scooped the unconscious girl into his arms. He looked over at Inu-Yasha who had Kagome slung across his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
When they got back to the hotel, Kurama realized something. They didn't have the girl's room key! And they sure as hell weren't going to look for it on their person. The demons just sighed and went to their room. After Inu-Yasha had left, Kurama stayed behind a minute to make sure they were okay. After he had checked on Kagome and verified that the human girl was indeed, okay, his eyes fell to Kia. She looked like a goddess lying there. The moonlight highlighted her graceful form and enhanced her delicate curves. Kurama reached out a hand in longing, caught himself, and then promptly ran out and beat his head against the wall several times.
When he and Inu-Yasha joined the rest of the gang, they gave the other boys a scolding they would never forget.
"Well," Yusuke said, "See you in the morning." And then he smiled as he realized that if the girls were sleeping in their room, Kurama and Inu-Yasha would have to sleep in the girl's room. "Sleep well!" he said mockingly as he made his escape before Inu-Yasha could slug him.
"Might as well get this over with," Kurama said trying to cheer up the depressed dog-demon.
Inu-Yasha nodded and sighed in defeat as they headed towards the girl's room.

BB: FLAME HER, FLAME HER, FLAME HER!!!!!!
