*is staring, ticked off at readers* You guys are denser than Hojo! Sheesh! I've decided that since there are STILL only two readers that reviewed D.g.'s story, that I would have to randomly choose three other reviewers to put into the fic. Don't ask me why I can't just use the two I have. I said I would use five, and five it will be! I'm kind of a perfectionist. *a few minutes of randomly choosing other three people* Okay, and the five people who will be in this fic are: SenshiofSilence, inuyasharules, Tinuviel, SquirrelnoShi, and Cat Silver. Actually, I've decided to use seven. *glares at those who oppose her* I AM THE ALL POERFUL AUTHOR AND CAN MAKE ANY CHANGES I WANT!!!!!!! The sixth and seventh people will be Sailor Saturn and Arwin! I'll be using nicknames for some of you in the fic, try and guess which is which. I'll be sure to make it easy to distinguish. In the next chapter the Inu gang will finally get to the resort, and that will be when you guys come in! Okay? Good, now on to the Disclaimer! BTW: No more snow cones for you reviewers! I treat you too good! *glares at them* Anyways, D.g. already melted most of my stock when she set fire to the fridge (Note to Self: Never let D.g. cook dinner EVER again! She'll end up burning the whole house down next time she does!) I've decided to greedily keep the rest. HA!

            Disclaimer: *gets a bored look* No. *lawyers keep on pleading with her* NO I SAID! F*** OFF!!!!!! *lawyers point at their case files and legal stuff, whining* OH SHUT UP ALREADY! YA BUNCH OF CRYBABIES!!!!!!! *sets fire to the piles of paper they were holding* *gets bored look on her face again* Go bug someone else. *then the judge comes in* o_O*!!!!!!!!! Eep! Don't want to get arrested! *turns to lawyers who are now grinning smugly and speaks loud enough for judge to hear* I don't own Inuyasha. *lawyers walk away, looking full of themselves* *Brat waits till the judge walks away* DIE!!!!!!!!! *starts pelting the lawyers with snow balls*

            Review Responses:

            Sailor Saturn: What an evil idea! In fact, it's so evil it just might work! *writes something down* Thanks for the great idea!

            SenshiofSilence: Yeah. You'll be in the story.  At least I know that SOME reviewers aren't as thick-headed as others are. Also, too much fluff, you say? There is never too much fluff! Anyways, mine is totally innocent compared to some other fics out there! And you know what? I'm a mercenary too. I'll do nearly anything to get into the newspaper, yearbook, etc. (for example: Newspaper Staff, Science Club, Yearbook Staff, and Student Council!)

            Tinuviel: Lucky for you! You're gonna be in my story! And don't worry: those ideas you mentioned WILL be in the fic. I'm just taking my sweet time getting to the exciting part.

            the saiyan: Cool name! I've watched DBZ and DB for like, ever! *gets little stars in eyes again* In fact, that's how I first started to learn how to draw Anime! One day while watching one of the DB shows, I paused it and decided to hand-eye copy it. Then I broke it down into shapes and worked on memorizing what went where. Okay, so I admit that my first few original characters were ugly as hell. I got better though, and now I can draw any character that I know from any series that I know easily! And they look cool too! *gets faraway look in eye* Ah, the good ole days!

            Sailor Saturn: It's 10:04 at night, and I almost forgot to check the reviews on D.g.'s story!! Whew! Close one! I almost put up this chapter without knowing that you reviewed D.g.'s story! Gomen! Also, I'll make sure that she and Erica have their next chapters up by tomorrow night! Thanks for helping my buddy D.g. out!

            Okay, before I start the next chapter, I have a question: WHERE'D ALL THE REVIEWERS GO?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With that said, on to the story.

            Snow Ball Fights and Snow Angels

      

        Chapter 4: Oooohhh the Pain!!!!!!!!!!!

            That morning, as the Inu gang woke up, was full of unbearable agony. Spending all night sleeping in a crowded car does not do good things for your back. Or any other part of you, for that matter.

            "Oh Kami-sama! I can't f****** move!" was the first of many complaints, made, astonishingly, by Miroku.

            Groaning, more voices made themselves known.

            "Hell, I am NEVER going to sleep in a car ever again!" was what the agonized Sango said. "I'd rather sleep on needles! At least I could see where my wounds are if I did!"

            Shippo, though, made no complaint, "I'm glad that I'm small! I didn't have to scrunch myself into a little ball like you guys did!" Kirara mewed in agreement.

            "F***! OWWWW! F***!" Souta said. The other four looked at him in amazement: He had never before said any swearing! They wondered where he could have gotten it from. Then it hit them. Inuyasha.

            "Should've known that it would wear off on the kid," muttered Sango.

            "I would've thought that Inuyasha would be the first one swearing. Where is he?" asked Miroku, confused, as they looked at the front seat. Then they saw a foot sticking up off the seat, followed by a body.

            Shippo started to giggle uncontrollably as they looked at the most kawaii scene in front of them. Sango immediately started to rummage through Kagome's bag, looking for Kagome's camera. Miroku and Souta just stared at the scene in awe. Before them, they could see Kagome and Inuyasha, snuggled together. Inuyasha had his arms wrapped tightly around Kagome, holding her to his chest, purring contentedly as Kagome was still rubbing his ears in her sleep. A peaceful smile adorned both their lips as they slept. (Note to Readers: I am gonna draw a picture of this oh so kawaii scene, and put it up in a website. Don't know where I'll send it, but I will tell you where it is! Also, if you're willing, I wouldn't mind receiving fan art in e-mails! I welcome you to draw any scene you wish! I love looking at other people's art!)

            Smiling impishly, Sango found the camera and took a picture of the couple. Deciding to leave the two lovebirds alone awhile longer, she dragged Miroku, Souta, and Shippo out of the car, with Kirara sitting on her shoulder. Then they all remembered what woke them up in the first place. Groaning and rubbing their sore muscles, they made their way to the motel that they had stopped at, noticing that it had a diner right next to it. Souta borrowed some money from Kagome while she was sleeping, and dressed them all (accordingly) in modern day clothes. Shippo changed himself into a normal looking boy, and Kirara went off to explore.

            *********************************************************

            Inuyasha woke up slowly, aware of a weight on top of him. Opening his eyes, he found himself looking at Kagome's sleeping face. He could also feel her rubbing his ears. Mmmmm....he thought, as his eyes started to droop again, and his purring intensified, that feels really nice...... He started to fall back asleep, wanting to stay like this for a little while longer. Fate didn't seem to take his side today.

            "Inuyasha?" came a hesitant voice from on top of him.

            "Hmmm?" he said, not opening his eyes.

            "I'm sorry," she whispered, afraid that he would be angry with her and push her away.

            Startled, his eyes quickly shot open to find the young girl atop him fighting back tears. Her eyes were squeezed shut, and she appeared to be waiting for him to yell at her or push her away. Concerned and ashamed, he felt angry at himself for ever treating her the way he did before. She was actually afraid of him rejecting her!

            Running a hand through her hair, he inhaled her scent. It smelled like a bright dawn, full of hope, kindness, and purity. (A/N: And YES the dawn DOES have a smell! I think I smelt it once when I woke up just as the sun was rising. Or it could have been the pine trees; I'm not sure.) He sighed, saddened that she would think of him like that. He carefully watched her as she opened her brown eyes and stared at him in confusion.

            "Inuyasha?" she asked, the fear in her eyes lessening.

            Quickly he spoke, "You have nothing to be sorry for." He looked at her softly and blushed.

            Inside her mind, Kagome gasped. Why was he acting so differently? And was he blushing?! Looking into his beautiful amber eyes, she saw caring in them. Did he actually care for her??????

            Gauging her reaction, he quickly said the words he had been holding in a long time, (A/N: OH YEAH! HERE IT COMES! ABOUT TIME YOU STUBBORN BLOCKHEAD!!) "Could you rub my ears again?" (*author face faults into the ground and gets up screaming at Inu* YOU STUPID IDIOT!!!*Starts to rant and swear*)

            "Huh?" Kagome said, even more confused that before. Than her face lit up. He actually wanted her to rub his ears! He had never before shown that he liked it! (Author: They're both stupid idiots.) Smiling widely, she replied, "But we should get up first, I can't reach your ears as well from this position." Complying with her suggestion, he sat up as she slid off him and back into her own seat. Turning around, he wiggled his ears a bit. (The only reason he's acting this way was because she was rubbing his ears ALL NIGHT, and he was in the calmest state he had ever been in his whole life)

            Giggling at his childish antics, she started rubbing his ears AGAIN. Inuyasha just purred deeply. So much for them admitting the truth. I mean the real truth.

            About twenty minutes later, Kagome stopped. Inuyasha turned and looked at her with pleading puppy eyes (Author: CUTE! *glomps Inu*) asking, "Why'd you stop?"

            Laughing at his behavior, she replied, "It's time for breakfast! I'm hungry!" His face perked up at the mention of breakfast, and he quickly made his way out of the car along with Kagome. Rummaging through her oversized 'monster' bag, she found him some clothes that she had picked for him while she was shopping a couple weeks ago. At that time, she bought them just in case he decided to explore her world, or when she took him to places.  Handing the clothes to Inuyasha, she pointed to a public restroom that he could use to change in. (The others used this place too!)

            When he walked out, she couldn't help but stare. There was no other word for it: He was HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (A/N: Don't forget, readers, to wipe up your keyboard after you're finished reading this description. I assure you, your imaginations will provide you with enough imaging. *drool* Even I can't help but drool! And I'm the author!)

            He was dressed in black leather pants that showed off his -um-*blush* backside really well. He had on black sneakers too. (sorry, but I didn't want to stick him in those pointy biker black leather shoes; he wouldn't like it) He was wearing a medium red t-shirt (the color of his kimono), with a black leather vest over it. The vest had a red and gold dragon on the back (the ones that are really cool). On his hands, he was pulling on red gloves, the kind that were cut off at the knuckles, they were made of a stretchy fabric (nylon I think, can't be sure though. I saw them in a store the other day). His ears were covered by a black bandanna that had skulls on it. His silvery hair hung loosely down his back, and he had black sunglasses on to hide his eyes. (The claws aren't really that big of a deal; you should see the ones my aunt has!) All in all, he was the hottest boy in existence. (A/N: GIMME!!!!! *glomps Inu again* MINE!!!!!)

            Smirking, he looked at her reaction. She was kind of staring at him as if she had gone into a trance. There was a little drool coming out of her mouth. As he walked up to her, he found that she was still staring into space.

            "Earth to Kagome," he called to her, waving his hand in front of her face. She jerked out of her trance, blushing.

            "Let's go get some food now," she said quickly, striding toward the diner. Still smirking, he followed.

            ***************************************************

            Once inside, they quickly spotted their friends over at a booth in the corner. As he and Kagome walked over to them, Inuyasha heard some of the ladies in the room whistling.

            "NICE ASS!!!!!" One even called out to him.

            "GIVE ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER!!!!!" another yelled.

            Blushing in embarrassment, which only caused the women to start saying more suggestive things *cough*, he walked faster. Sango sat staring at him in awe, and Miroku was snickering uncontrollably. Inuyasha sat down and buried his face in the menu, hoping to hide his reddened face.

            Eventually, the cat calls died down, and the group was able to relax. Although, occasionally the many women would sneak glances at him, and whispered about how hot he was. Their waitress even had the nerve to ask if he would like to order a late night, three course, all-you-can-eat, buffet! (Waitress code for: Meet me here at midnight you hottie!)  Kagome got really jealous at that comment. After the others had ordered their breakfasts (Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Souta had been waiting the whole time just to order! What lousy service!) she smiled sweetly and ordered what she wanted, wrapping her arm around Inuyasha's waist as she did so. Then, when the others weren't looking (Inuyasha had his face in the menu again from shock of Kagome doing something so open. Author: He acts like he's never been near a girl in his life!!!!!) she glared threateningly at the waitress and mouthed, "You better not go near him slut, or there'll be hell to pay!!!"

            Frightened, the waitress dashed into the kitchen at top speed to give the cook their order.

            Kagome then glared at all the other women, who just gazed jealously back. They had a that-lucky-bitch look on their faces. Sighing in satisfaction, she left her arm wrapped around Inu's muscular, yet lean, waist. (*drool*)

            She leaned back into the comfy seats they were in, and smiled. After this, they would finally get to the resort, and from there, she would have some fun!

            ********************************************************

            Note to self: Never read another person's fic right before you write your own.

            Okay, okay. So I read this really funny Ranma 1/2 fic before I wrote mine. I decided to add in a few swear words here and there to make it more funny. Also, I'll finally be writing the gang's resort adventures in the next chappie, and that's when the seven reviewers will play a part in the plot. I'm not gonna say what though! *grins evilly* Some of the seven reviewers might hate me. Let's just say that it depends on your point of view about certain things. *looks innocent* That's the only hint I'm giving you!

R&R please! Ja ne!!!
