8- The baths are but a faraway dream...

And here we are with another chapter... Before starting, I'd just like to say that I can't believe I've gotten so far! More than 3000 words! Eight chapters! Will you have the patience to go on? I hope so! Thank you!! ^_~

Three days later...

Kacchan: We have been walking around and around in a circle for three days!!

Naraku-sama: Shut up and walk!!

Kacchan: But I'm only a child! I'm hungry!

Se-sama: And what about me? I'm tired, I've a rheumatism, I'm hungry, I'm angry, I'm cold, I'm hot, I've an headache, I'm-

Kouga-kun: Thank you, Sesshoumaru, we've heard enough about your ailments!

Kagura-san: Like I said before, you need a sweet wife ready to look after you-

Sesshoumaru-sama: Like I was saying, I feel REEEALLLY WELL!!

Juu-kun: I sense something is going to happen... I feel in dangeeeeeeeeeeeeer *thump*

Hiten-kun: Where's Juu-kun?

Juu-kun: I'm here!!

Naraku-sama: Here where?

Juu-kun: Here!! Look at the ground!!

Looking through the mud, the group sees a deep hole. Juu-kun's voice is coming from there.

Kacchan: Ehy, big brother, are you ok?

Juu-kun: Except for the fact that I'm in a deep hole in a marsh in the middle of NOWHERE, with my lungs quickly filling up with this rotten air and with a broken leg, I'm ok, thanks!

Hiten-kun: A broken leg? This could prove to be a problem...

Sesshoumaru-sama: This IS a problem!!

Juu-kun: Could someone help me, please??

Naraku-sama: C'mon, Se-sama, go down, grab him and come back here flying!

Sesshoumaru-sama: I could do it, but my rheumatism has taken my back, too... he's too heavy...

Naraku-sama: ... and you, Hi-san?

Hiten-kun: I can't! My flying cloud is only for one person...

Kagura-san: And you, Na-sama?

Naraku-sama: My clothes will get dirty...

Kagura-san: Yeah, yeah, I've grasped the concept... I'll go down myself. *jumps down*

Kacchan: Are you ok, big sister & brother?

Kagura-san: 'Ok' NOTHING!! My feathers and my fan have sunk in the mud!! SHIT!! We're stuck here!

Sesshoumaru-sama: *happily* Well, it doesn't matter! Let's go!!

Kouga-kun: But... they need help...

Sesshoumaru-sama: *threatening* LET'S GO!!

Kouga-kun: O-ok...

And the fellowship keeps walking towards the baths (I hope they'll arrive soon!)

Naraku-sama: If you think so, can't you tell us the way?

No! ^_^

Naraku-sama: *grrrrr*

Kagura-san: I think we'll have to dig, to return to the surface.

Juu-kun: So let's start!!

In that moment, on the surface...

Kouga-kun: We're lost!! Trust me. The baths are too far away... we'll never reach them!

Kacchan: Do you really think so? *goes through a bush and there are the thermal baths!*

Naraku-sama: Can you repeat that, lil' wolf?

Kouga-kun: Ehm...

Sesshoumaru-sama: The... the... the baths!!

Kacchan: *reading the signs* Right-women, Left-men. Kagura-san isn't here, so I'll go to the right alone. Bye!

Se-sama: And we'll go to the left!! See you at the hotel!

I know that they're in the Sengoku age, but... it's too amusing to write this! ^_^

While Kacchan goes to the right alone, Kouga-kun, Hi-kun, Na-sama and Fluffy go into the hot water bath to the left.

Se-sama: But... wait! Is it good for my rheumatism?

Of course!

Se-sama: And for my sore throat?

Naraku-sama: You're hypochondriac.

Kouga-kun: I feel fine! It's so relaxing!

Se-sama: *finally enters*

Naraku-sama: But... your arm!! Where is your left arm?

Sesshoumaru-sama: You should know that I have no left arm...

Kouga-kun: Bleah!

Se-sama: Oh, thank you for your comforting words!

Na-sama: If Kagura-san saw you now, she'd stop liking you!

Se-sama: Well, then I hope she'll see me!

In that moment Kagura-san and Juu-kun (you know, demons heal immediately), digging and digging, have just arrived right under the men's hot water bath.

Kagura-san: *appearing from the bottom of the bath* Se-chan!!!!

Se-sama: But where did you come from? Did you come back from Hell??!!! Stay away from me!! I'm naked!

Kagura-san: Really?

Se-sama: Be gone!!!!!!! But... wait a moment! Look at my arm: it's horrible, isn't it?

Kagura-san: Oh... poor Se-chan... *tries to go near him, but he quickly slips away*

Se-sama: Be gone!!

Other men: A woman! What the Hell is she doing here??!!

Juu-kun: Kagura-san, please, get out...

Kagura-san: I don't want to!! My Se-chan is here!

Se-sama: *looking at the others* Please... someone help me... *looking at Kagura-san* You're too close again!!

Kagura-san: But... between us there is a distance of 10 meters...

Se-sama: TOO LITTLE!!

Naraku-sama: Ehm... Kagura-san... could you please go to the women's bath?

Kouga-kun: *red, very red* You can see your love once we arrive at the hotel...

Hiten-kun: Please!!

Kagura-san: NO! If he doesn't come close to me, I'll stay here forever!! *reaching out with one of her arms, she takes Se-sama, Hiten-kun, Kouga-kun and Naraku-sama's clothes* ... and you too.

Sesshoumaru-sama: PLEASE LOTTIE-KUN, DO SOMETHING!!!

No! It's too amusing! The end of this gruesome event in the next chapter! Please R&R!! P.S. This story isn't finished yet! Other snags are coming for our characters!! ^_^

Se-sama: HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

*Lottie-kun goes away singing, completely ignoring him* everybody sing a song, du-da, du-da, everybody sing a song...

Se-sama: Shit...
