Hello peoples! I'm back again after skipping church! Who in their right minds would rather listen to some old minister lecture us about how we're all gonna end up in hell if we don't follow some set of impossible rules that some dude who's already dead wrote, instead of writing a funny fic in which you can humiliate your favorite characters? No one, that's who! And yes, I do know that I just wrote a run-on sentence. That is why I hate my English teacher and always get a C in her class.

Snowball Fights and Snow Angels
Chapter 7: Cheery Guys Make For Good Targets
(A/N: MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!)
Inuyasha was staring straight into the faces of six VERY angry people, all of whom had snowballs held in their hands and malicious grins on their faces. Uh-oh, he thought. He was in for it now! They didn't look very happy to see him. He laid his ears down apprehensively under the snowboarder's hat he was wearing. His eyes widened. This wasn't good. Shippo was tossing his snowball up and down in his hand in a menacing sort of way.
"Thought that you would ruin my snowman and get away with it, eh?" the kitsune asked, smirking, "I'm gonna get you for that!"
"Ditto!" said Senshi, who had been helping him with the snowman and wanted revenge for its beheading. Inuyasha started to run off again when Kagome shouted, "SIT!" and he was smashed into the cold snow. He got up, only to be met with a snowball in the face.
He sputtered, and looked around for the culprit. Kagome stood there with a proud grin on her face, and was looking at him triumphantly. His eyes narrowed, "Oh, you're gonna get it girl!" He started to make a snowball from the snow that was on his face, while all the girls and Shippo ran off to the other side, giggling and in some cases muttering about how this a VERY stupid idea. *coughSquirrelcough* He exchanged glances and smirks with those on his side: Saturn, I.R., Arwen, and Merea. A small force, but with some very good throwers. He turned to study the opposition: Cat, Kagome, Squirrel, Senshi, Shippo, Tinuviel, Sango, and Miroku. So, it was eight verses five eh? He could take 'em on. He quickly built a blockade to hide from attack, and his other four teammates ducked behind it too. Over on the opposite side, he could hear hushed whispers and knew that they were planning something. Saturn turned toward him and asked, "What should we do?"
He thought for a moment. "On the count of three we should rush 'em head on and attack while they're still surprised!" (A/N: -.-'' Jeez. Everything is 'head on' to him when it comes to fighting.)
"Who should make the first throw to surprise them?" asked I.R. (A/N: Warning: I'm thinking of deleting this character if I don't get a review from her...)
"Saturn should."
"Why me?!" asked a very surprised Saturn. "I can't even throw right!"
"Exactly. We can sacrifice you."
"WHAT?!"
"You can divert their attention as the rest of us sneak up on them."
"..............................I hate you."
Inuyasha smirked, "I know you do."
And so they proceeded with the plan. Saturn wasn't too thrilled with the idea. She pouted while they all chose their targets.
"Okay, I'll go after Miroku, IF I live that is," stated Saturn. She still had grudge against Miroku after the restaurant incident.
"Then I'll take Sango and Tinuviel," said Arwen.
"Um, I'll go after Shippo and Squirrel," said Merea.
"Senshi and Cat," said I.R.
"Kagome," smirked Inuyasha.
*On the other side of the field*
"Okay guys, some of us are going to gang up on the same person," explained Kagome. "Now who'll we choose?"
Just then, Squirrel came running up. "I heard what they're plotting," she whispered what their opponents had said. Kagome grinned.
"Then this'll make it so much easier. Alright, Miroku, you take on Saturn. Sango and Tinuviel, yours is Arwen. Shippo and Squirrel, you will go after Merea. Senshi and Cat, I.R. is your target," she smirked, much like Inuyasha did, "I'll go after Inuyasha."
"Hey, Kagome?" asked Tinuviel, "Should I have my flying monkey BoB Anolious help out by dropping snowballs from above?"
Kagome looked at her oddly, "You have a flying monkey named BoB?"
"Yep."
Shrugs, "Sure you can have him help!"
"Oooh, can my minions help too? Please?!" asked Cat. "I could get Iny and Miro to help!" Cat is suddenly elbowed in the stomach by Senshi. "Um, I mean some other, regular minions?"
"Sure," agreed Kagome hesitantly. Now THAT was odd! Why did those two names sound so much like Inuyasha's and Miroku's? Maybe it was just her imagination...
"Come my minions!" yelled Cat as she swept out her arms dramatically, "ATTACK!" Nothing happened. Cat got angry and turned toward her minions, "I SAID ATTACK!" The minions finally jumped up and began to create hundreds of snowballs.
Tinuviel smirked at the disobedience of Cat's minions and called, "BoB! Grab those snowballs and fly up into the air with them!" A monkey with wings jumped out of her jacket and gathered all the snowballs into a basket and flew up into the air. The other people just stared at Tinuviel.
"How did you get a monkey in your jacket?" asked Miroku as he sidled up to her.
"Take one more step and I'll tear you to shreds," warned Tinuviel. Miroku backed away from her.
Just as both sides were about to swoop down and attack each other, three new figures strode into the middle of the war field. Only one of them was recognizable to Kagome, and she immediately yelled, "ATTACK THOSE THREE!" BoB and the minions dropped snowballs on the three figures until they couldn't be seen under the mounds of snow. Both sides slowly walked up to the mound. All the people looked quizzically at Kagome, silently asking why they attacked these newcomers.
She shrugged and said, "They were on the field." Inuyasha just stared at her like she was crazy, then realized where they were. He grinned mischievously and readied a snowball to throw. She realized what he had planned and backed away quickly, only to be hit in the face with the cold snowball. This action jolted the others into awareness. Both sides quickly separated again, and started the fight with vigor.
Each team member took on their targets. Off to the side, Kagome was being pushed back by Inuyasha's throws, and she was nearing the edge of a hill. She saw this and instantly went on the offensive, whipping snowballs out faster than the blink of an eye. But Inuyasha was not about to be outdone! He retaliated, ducking and weaving threw her shots, and closed in. She circled around him, so that he was now the one closest to the hill. Then she did something unexpected. She lunged and pushed him back, unbalancing him enough that he and Kagome toppled over the edge of the hill, and slid downwards with her on top of him. They finally crashed at the bottom in a tangle of limbs. Kagome was laughing, and Inuyasha was grinning as he pelted her with a handful of snow, taking advantage of her proximity. She giggled and threw some snow back at him. He rolled over on top of her, and pinned her to the ground with one hand and tickled her unmercifully with the other.
"Stop!" she gasped for breath through her laughing, "Please!" He stopped and smirked at her.
"Looks like I win this round," he said as she gulped air into her lungs. She glared at him, then blushed when she noticed how close they were, with him on top of her. He seemed to realize this too and blushed a scarlet red while scrambling to get off of her. They sat in an embarrassed silence for a minute before Kagome broke through the tension.
"Shall we head back to the others now?" She said as she got up.
"Sure, but I have one question," said Inuyasha, "Why DID you order the minions and monkey to attack? I saw it all from my side of the field."
She ashamedly admitted, "I recognized Hojo as one of the three."
Inuyasha burst into uproarious laughter, the first she had ever heard, and it surprised her, "You-you mean you attacked th-them s-so v-viciously b-because you recognized HOBO?" His laughter turned hysterical.
"SO WHAT IF I DID?!" yelled an angered Kagome. In response, all she got was laughter. "Grrr....And his name is HOJO!"
His laughter soon died down, but he uttered an occasional chuckle now and then as they headed back up the steep slope. At the top, they found that no one was there. Not even the people who had been buried under the mound of snow, Hojo included.
"I guess that they must be back at the lodge," Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded. It was growing darker and colder. Kagome shivered as the cold seeped through her jacket. Inuyasha noticed this and looked at her, concern showing on his face. Very cautiously, he draped an arm around her shoulders.
Kagome looked up at him in surprise. He was looking away, but she could still tell that he was blushing. She smiled and leaned in next to his warm chest, snuggling deep into warm material that covered it. She didn't feel cold anymore. (A/N: Big surprise. I wouldn't be either.) They walked more slowly, their footprints leaving a trail in the snow. As they got closer to the lodge, Inuyasha could hear the sounds of his friends' voices coming from the common room. (A/N: Yeah, you know. The place where visitors can just sit and chat. I forgot the name of it, so this one will do. ^_^ I just read a Harry Potter book!)
They entered in through the double doors, grateful to get out of the cold. Suddenly they heard a few catcalls that came from Miroku as all eyes turned towards the couple.
"Getting even cozier, eh Inuyasha?" called Miroku perversely. The two blushed and jumped apart at that, neither daring to look the other in the eye. The rest of the group just laughed.
"Hey, Senshi?" asked Kagome, trying to get off the embarrassing topic, "What happened to those people who were stuck under the mound of snow?" Including Hojo, Kagome thought.
"Oh, we dug 'em out before they fainted from lack of air," explained a nonchalant Senshi, "In fact, one of them was asking for you. The others went off to their rooms without a word, though."
"Who was the one asking for me?" asked a reluctant Kagome. She knew who it was though.
"Oh, it was a cute guy named Hojo. He would be definite date material if he wasn't so dense, sweet, or clueless."
"Yeah, and smarter too!" inserted Cat. The others just laughed.
"In fact, he's waiting next to your room Kagome," said Senshi.
Throughout all of this, Inuyasha was growing more and more angry. Who was this guy who thought that he could pursue Kagome? This Hoho guy had NO RIGHT! He started to growl, his eyes flashing angrily at the thought. Kagome was HIS! He blinked. Where did THAT thought come from?!
"Um, I'll go talk to him," said Kagome. "See you guys tomorrow!" She dashed into the elevator. Inuyasha just looked lost in thought. He was startled out of his musings by the fact that he felt thirteen pairs of eyes on him. He looked up and found everyone staring at him rather pointedly, including Souta who appeared to have just got back from wherever he had been that whole afternoon. Cat coughed in a suggestive sort of way.
"What're you all looking at me for?!" yelled Inuyasha. Everyone just looked at him like he was the densest thing on Earth. Finally, when he still didn't get why they were staring at him, Saturn stood up and yelled, "GO AFTER HER YOU DAMN IDIOT!" He cowered as they all glared at him.
"Why?" he asked, still confused. Squirrel got up and stalked in front of him, looked him straight in the eyes, and shouted, "BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER YOU FOOL! ANYONE CAN SEE IT! NOW GO STOP THAT HOBO GUY FROM STEALING HER AWAY YOU IDIOT HANYOU!" She whirled around and marched back to her seat.
Inuyasha's ears were ringing from the loud yelling. He nodded quickly and ran up the stairs as fast as he could. Once he was gone, everyone just looked at everyone else.
"Doesn't he know that he can just use the elevator?" asked Tinuviel, but no one answered her.
**************************************************************
Kagome could see Hojo sitting outside her door. He heard her coming and stood up, grinning. (A/N: DIE HOJO!!! *kills the dense idiot*)
"Higurashi, I've been looking for you! I heard that you were going on a winter vacation and wanted to come see you!" He pulled a bunch of herb-things from his pocket, all wrapped up in decorative paper. "Here are some medicinal herbs for your back problems!" He handed her the gift. She smiled and politely took them, all the while wishing that he would just go away.
"Thank you Hojo-kun, they're very-er-nice," said Kagome. His grin just widened.
"Well, I gotta go to my room now! See you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Um, yeah, sure," Kagome agreed, still wishing that he would just burn up in a puff of smoke or something.
"Okay then, it's a date!" said the overreacting Hojo.
"Urk!" She hadn't meant it to sound THAT way!
"Bye Higurashi!" he left for his room, whistling. Inuyasha stood in the corner as he listened to every word exchanged. His anger skyrocketed. WHO was this guy?! His Kagome NEVER said that it was a date! He growled. I'm gonna rip that guy's vocal cords out! He heard Kagome sigh and enter her room. Was that a sigh of reluctance or of a love-sick teenager?! (A/N: Yeah, the girls at my school all sigh when they get asked out on a date. I have no idea why...) His frown deepened as he thought worriedly. She couldn't actually LIKE this guy, could she?! Coming to a decision, he boldly stepped forward and knocked on her door.
"Who is it?" he heard her voice call from inside.
"Um, it's me," he answered, suddenly feeling very nervous.
"Inuyasha?"
"Well, DUH, who else would it be that has my voice?" he was back to his old arrogance. (A/N: Oo! I know the answer to that! Iny! Cat's look-alike minion!)
"Come in! The door's unlocked!" she called.
He cautiously opened the door and stepped in. Kagome was sitting on her bed, reading a romance novel. He studied the title, "Romeo and Juliet". Humph, never heard of it! He looked toward her uncertainly. She was smiling happily, and motioning him to come over. She was dressed in dark blue silk pajamas, with little white dog imprints on it. Silk... he thought. She's never worn silk before. He got the sudden urge to rub it between his fingers, but suppressed it.
"Inuyasha, what did you want?" she asked, her voice full of kind surprise. Obviously she wasn't annoyed at his being there, just surprised.
"Umm..." he didn't know how to ask the question that was plaguing his mind.
"Yes?" she implied gently.
"DoyoulikethatHoboguy?" he gushed out, before his cheeks turned a bright pink. Kami, this was humiliating!
She stared at him in surprise for a minute, trying to figure out what he said. Finally she understood his words and smiled a shy smile.
"No, I don't."
"Oh..." he felt like a fool now.
"Um, Inuyasha?" she asked him.
"Hm?"
"Would you," she began shyly, "would you let me brush your hair?"
He stared at her in shock. It was his turn to be amazed. He nodded dumbly, and she squealed in delight and pulled out her hairbrush from the dresser drawer. She motioned for him to sit on the bed in front of her, and he obeyed. She slowly started to comb through his mane of hair, and noticed that the brush was getting caught up in his snow clothes.
"Inuyasha, would you like to change out of those clothes first?" He nodded quickly. It was starting to get awfully hot in this outfit.
"I'll be right back," he said as he got up and dashed to his room to get the night clothes that she had packed for him. Making sure that nobody was in sight, he hurriedly changed. Walking quickly back into her room, he sat down on the bed again where she was waiting for him. He finally noticed what he was wearing. He had changed in haste and hadn't given a thought to his outfit, but now he noticed that it matched hers, only his was a deep red. It was made out of silk too! He finally gave into the urge that he had and rubbed the fine material between his fingers. He purred at her soft touch on his head.
She continued the brushing of his hair, all the while humming a soft melody. For about half an hour they stayed like that, his purring and her humming the only sounds till Inuyasha fell almost asleep from the contentment. She stopped her brushing at the sound of his light breathing, and asked him as he was half-asleep, "Do you have anywhere to sleep?" He shook his head slowly, falling even further asleep. She smiled at his still form. Here was opportunity knocking! She laid him back on the bed and covered him with the covers, and then snuggled in beside him, quickly falling into a dreamless slumber from the rhythmic sounds of his heart beating.
And all the others downstairs just arrived, asleep, in their rooms by magic, because all the focus is now on Inuyasha and Kagome. So HA!
