WOW! My reviews are really growing! They take up a lot of my fic space! Oh well! Um, sorry I couldn't update yesterday, but due to certain circumstances *glares at Erica* Such as short-tempered friends who bash up their computers just because the computers accidentally shut down and erase all the work that that was on it! Yeah, those type of circumstances. Okay and I'll go along with your requests too. *looks scared* Things might start to go insane, due to some of the reviewers/characters blowing stuff up and killing Miroku then bringing him back to life......I don't think that I will put that last part in, but who knows? *gets great idea and starts to laugh maniacally* I GOT IT!!!! *writes down idea really quickly* Read on and you'll find out why I'm laughing! Also, I chose one other reviewer to be in the fic. Why, you ask? Because seven is NOT my lucky number! Bad things started happening as soon as I chose those seven! *example: What's mentioned up top!* So it's no use arguing or flaming me! Because, *gets loud, scary Kami-like voice* I AM THE ALL POWERFUL AUTHOR!!!! *cough* And frankly, I erase all my flames. *cough*

            Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. *points to Hojo* But he does! *Hojo looks scared as lawyers advance upon him and sue him to death* YES!!!! NO MORE HOJO!!! *starts to scheme* Now to get rid of Kikyo and capture Kouga for myself..... *glomps Kouga* MINE!!! *kills Naraku as he tries to kill Kouga* DIE NARAKU!! YOU EVIL, FOUL SMELLING MONKEY!!!!!!!!!! *throws a 'The Bad Guys Are Dead!' party* I seem to be throwing a lot of parties lately.

            Review Responses:

            Inuyashagirl: Ya really think that my fic's cool? Thanks!

            SquirrelnoShi: *grins evilly* In this fic, there will be so many squirrel puns! I think that I'm gonna have fun involving you and the six others in this story! *looks over at D.g., who is pouting in a corner* Awww, D.g., what's the matter? D.g.: Someone wrote a love letter on me!!!!! Brat: For real? D.g.: Yeah! It was like, right after you read Squirrel's review.... *Brat looks innocent* Who do you think wrote it? *D.g. gets evil aura around her* I know who wrote it! It was that hentai that's stalking me, Jonah! Brat: I think that's cute that he always sends you love notes and feels you up! *D.g.'s aura gets worse* I'LL KILL THAT HENTAI FOR WRITING IT ON ME IN PERMANENT INK!!!!!!! *stomps off to find and kill her stalker* Brat: *smirks* Little does she know that I gave him the idea in the first place! *laughs* Those two are just like Sango and Miroku! Only Miroku is more like Kouga, and Sango is more like Kagome! Kind of a mix, really.

            SenshiofSilence: NOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT THE INDESTRUCTABLE JAKEN PLUSHIE!!!!!!!!! IT WON'T DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *whimpers* Okay! You win! I won't make you hate me! Just please, don't send me that godforsaken ugly plushie!

            Merea: You think that I can be bought??? I can't be bribed by lots of compliments! What do you think I am? An author that will do anything to please her reviewers?! *glares at Merea and thinks for a moment* *shrugs shoulders* Okay, you're in. But for all you know, I could decide to polish you off; Sailor Saturn HAS been looking for someone to kill.....

            Cat Silver: Your minions are lucky that you're so nice to them! *pouts* Erica is blackmailing me and D.g.; she made me fetch a stick! And she keeps calling me a lazy minion! *cries* Why must I be subject to such torture?! *calms down* But it'll be funny to involve you seven reviewers/authors in the story! I'll even have you keep your minions! It will be so interesting! *grins innocently, but in head is thinking evil, crazy thoughts* Read on!

            Sailor Saturn: Sure, you can kill someone! In fact, I have the perfect idea for you! *whispers* Hope you don't like Hojo! *cackles evilly*

            DevilWench: Believe me; once I throw in the authors/characters/reviewers, there WILL be trouble and insanity!

Snowball Fights and Snow Angels

Chapter 5: Thank Kami-sama We're Finally Here!

        After the diner incident, the group went back on the road again. The resort was very near, and everybody was hopping for joy (not really). Shippo, Sango, and Miroku decided that they would spend the last part of the drive annoying and embarrassing Inuyasha. And so they did.

            "Hey, Inuyasha," Miroku said, "How cozy was it with Lady Kagome? You two looked pretty comfortable!"

            "Shut up houshi!" Yelled Inuyasha, twisting around in his seat to glare angrily at the lecher.

            Sango decided to join in, "Does this mean that you two are an item now?" She asked coyly.

            Inuyasha stared at her, his face flushing up, before replying with the smart answer of, "Shut up!"

            "It's about time you two got together," said Shippo.

            "That's it twerp! Die!" shouted Inuyasha as he lunged for Shippo, but got jerked back into his seat; the seatbelt held him to back.

            "Inuyasha," said Sango, "you never answered my question."

            Inuyasha just growled and sat back in his seat, pouting as he stonily stared out the window.

            During this whole conversation, Kagome had been listening. Her heart raced; he hadn't said no, but he hadn't said yes either.....She glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes, trying to discern what he was thinking. There was a look of confusion on his face; was he confused by the question, or was he indecisive between her and Kikyo? She sighed; it was most definitely the latter.

            There was an uncomfortable silence in the car; and the tension was so thick that you could cut it with an untransformed Tetsusaiga! Shippo decided that he should be the one to break the silence, and whispered his plan to annoy Inuyasha to Sango and Miroku, whose faces lit up with evil intent.

            "Um, Lady Kagome," asked Miroku cautiously, "might I suggest a joint road song till we get to the resort?" (joint songs are songs sung by many people in turn)

            Kagome nodded her head in agreement, saying, "Sure, go right ahead!" While grinning.

            At her words Shippo burst into song, singing a tune that got on a certain dog-hanyou's nerves.

            "I know a song that gets on Inuyasha's nerves, Inuyasha's nerves, Inuyasha's nerves! I know a song that gets on Inuyasha's nerves, and this is how it goes!"

            Then Miroku said his verse:

            "Ring around the doggie, pockets full of shardies, sit, sit, sit, sit, he then falls down!"

            Sango came in:

            "Oh where, oh where, has my little dog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be?" (sorry, don't know the rest to it!)

            Shippo again:

            "Inuyasha is falling down, falling down, falling down! Inuyasha is falling down, because of an angry Kagome!"

            Miroku:

            "He played one, he played two, he played knick-knack on my shoe! With a knick-knack paddy-whack give Inuyasha a bone, that young pup came rolling home!"

            Inuyasha was growling loudly by now.

            Sango:

            "Kagome had a little dog, his hair as white as snow! And everywhere that Kagome went, he was sure to go!"

            "DIE!!!" Shouted Inuyasha as he tried to jump at them again, taking his seatbelt off first, but then Kagome stopped the car abruptly, causing him to fall back onto the dashboard and hit his head.

            "We're here!" yelled Kagome, blushing furiously at her friends' songs. Quickly she got out, and dashed to the other side of the car, opening the passenger's door, and helping Inuyasha get out. She laid the disoriented hanyou on the ground, and then went to open the side doors. Her friends gratefully piled out. She noticed that neither Souta nor Kirara had come out, and looked in. She found that Souta was sleeping, and gently shook him awake, then she awoke the fire cat-demon that was sleeping in his lap.

            "Souta, we're at the resort," she said, "Time to get up!"

            Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he got out of the vehicle, still holding Kirara. Inuyasha woke up, and stood, glowering at the three troublemakers who edged away from the angry hanyou.

            "Okay," she said in a stern voice, much like she was on their little detour on the drive there (you remember), "I need you guys to be on your best behavior! No killing people, no using superpowers, and no trashing the place!" She glared at them, "Do I make myself clear?"

            All of them nodded.

            "Good," and with that she led them into the lobby. (A/N: They're wearing modern clothes by the way)

            Walking up to the clerk at the counter, she asked in a sweet voice, "May I have the keys to the rooms that were reserved for the Higurashi party?"

            The clerk asked for her to show the receipt for the room. She did.

            "It's rooms 100, 101, and 102 miss," he said, handing over the keys and map to the resort, "On floor three, at the end of the hall, you can't miss it. Have a nice stay here at (place resort name here)." (A/N: I don't know of any resorts in Japan, so come up with your own name!)

            Kagome and her companions made their way to their rooms, and quickly decided who should sleep in which room.

            "Okay, Sango and Kirara will sleep in this room," Kagome motioning toward the one bed room, "and I will sleep in this one," she pointed to the other one bed room, "and you four will sleep in this room." she then pointed her finger to the last one.

            "Ah, but Lady Kagome," said Miroku, "there are only two beds in this room! What will the third and fourth person do?"

            Kagome thought for a moment, and then answered, "They'll sleep on the floor of course!"

            At hearing this, Souta and Miroku quickly dashed into the room and claimed the two beds as theirs, while Inuyasha just glared at them and went to find the most comfortable space of floor he could. Sadly, it was all hardwood flooring. Shippo gazed pleadingly at Souta, and Souta agreed that Shippo could have half of his bed (they were big beds; queen size!)

            Kagome felt a pang of guilt for Inuyasha, but quickly brushed it aside. After she had unpacked everything and put all the clothes away in their respectable drawers, (she put the guys' clothes in their own room, same with Sango) she headed out the door, but quickly collided with another person. She crashed onto the ground, and her friends came out to see what happened.

            "Oh! I'm so sorry that I bumped into you! Forgive me!" said the unknown person as she helped Kagome get up.

            "That's okay," replied Kagome, "By the way, my name's Kagome, what's yours?"

            "My name's Senshi," replied the girl. (A/N: *grins evilly* They're heerrreeee!)

            "Senshi," said Kagome, "Are you staying at this resort too?"

            "Yes I am," replied Senshi, "I'm here with my seven other friends. The resort is holding an Anime festival."

            "It is?!" cried Kagome, astonished, "I love manga and anime!"

            Her friends watched silently during this brief exchange.

            "Senshi!" someone called. Kagome looked behind Senshi and saw a group of people walking toward them. Her new friend quickly turned around. Kagome studied the people who were walking over.

            "Oh, hi all!" replied Senshi before turning toward Kagome, "These are my friends I was telling you all about," she motioned for her friends to come over, and introduced them, "Guys, this is Kagome and her friends. Kagome, this is I.R., Tinuviel, Squirrel, Cat Silver (we just call her C.S. or Cat), Saturn, Arwen, and Merea." She motioned to each one in turn.

            How strange! Kagome thought as she looked at them. Senshi, I.R, Tinuviel, and Merea all dressed normally but the others wore odd clothing or had some weird things with them. Squirrel wore a bunch of jackets and looked very uncomfortable, Cat had a bunch of little demon thingies hanging on to her (the minions), Saturn was dressed in a sailor suit much like the one Kagome wore, except that it was an odd color, and she had a look on her face that said that she wanted to kill something, and Arwen was dressed in an old medieval costume, much like the ones you would see in the Lord of the Rings movies. What a strange bunch of people!

            "Are you our roommates?" asked Kagome, as she gestured to the rooms that she rented.

            "Yes, actually, we are," said Tinuviel.

            "Do you want to come with us to the restaurant they have here?" asked Senshi, "And could you introduce your friends too?" she asked, looking at the unnoticed people in the background.

            "Oh yes," said Kagome, "please excuse my bad manners! That is Inuyasha, that's Shippo, that's Miroku the lecher, that's Sango, that's Souta, and that's Kirara, Sango's pet." She pointed to each of her friends in turn.

            "Well, shall we get going? I don't know about you, but I'm starving!" stated Cat as she looked at one of her minions with an odd gleam in her eye; the minion gulped and tried to hide itself, knowing that when she said that and she didn't get any food soon, minions always started to disappear. (That was why many people only got like, ten out of thirteen minions on their fics!) (A/N: That's my guess anyway! *starts laughing so hard that tears fell down her face anime style*)

            The large group made its way to the restaurant.

            "Could we have a table that seats fifteen please?" asked Saturn.

            The waitress nodded and turned to talk to one of the attendees. "Just a moment please."

            They waited as their table was set up.

            "Right this way please," said the waitress as she led them to their table. And they sat in this order:

            On one side, from the left, was:

Tinuviel, Inuyasha, Kagome, Senshi, Souta, Shippo, and I.R.

            On the other side from the left (as if you were looking at the table from above; draw yourself a picture if you need to! I did!) was:

Arwen, Merea, Cat, Miroku, Saturn, Squirrel, Sango, and Kirara.

            Things were going well, and they had ordered their lunch, when suddenly....

            SMACK!!!!!!!

            "HENTAI!!!!!!" two voices shouted. There sat Miroku, with a crazed, dizzy grin on his face and two giant red hand marks on either side of him. Cat and Saturn leaned far away from him, glaring at the lecherous houshi. Cat looked like she was ready to sic her minions at him (no, none disappeared; yet.) and Saturn was glowing with a savage aura and looked ready to blast him to smithereens. It took both Arwen and Squirrel to hold back their friends from killing him where he sat.

            "Oops!" Kagome said, "I forgot to tell you about his um- habits."

            "Does this happen all the time?" asked an amazed Senshi.

            "Yep," replied Kagome, Sango, Shippo, Souta, and Inuyasha at the same time.

            Cat and Saturn looked murderous. "Touch either of us again houshi," hissed Cat (*snicker* Puns!), "and you'll regret it!" Saturn nodded, voicing her own opinion, "Ditto here!" The look in their eyes was enough to stop Miroku for the time being.

            So all the rest of them went back to eating and talking. (A/N: The food just magically appeared.)

            Then came dessert time. As the giant chocolate cake was set down in front of them, the newest characters looked nervously toward Squirrel, who was staring at the cake hungrily. They exchanged glances.

            "Squirrel! You can't have sweets, remember?" asked Merea.

            "Yeah, remember what happened last time?" asked I.R., backing up Merea.

            "You totally cleaned out the sweets shop!" accused Arwen.

            "But-" said Squirrel pleadingly.

            "NO!" yelled all of her friends; except for the Inu gang, who had no idea what was going on.

            "Um, Senshi, what was that about?" asked Souta.

            "Every time Squirrel gets a hold of candy," explained Senshi, "her um- alternate personality comes out; we call her Chibi Squirrel. She then gobbles up any sugar in sight, but is never satisfied." Her friends nodded in agreement.

            "Oh," said Souta.

            After lunch, the whole gang agreed to meet at the ski and snowboard rental shop in an hour. Saying their 'we'll meet you thens', they went their separate ways.

            Things could only get more interesting from there.
