Snowball Fights and Snow Angels

Chapter 8: HOJO BASHING!!! YAY!!!

(A/N: You can tell that I don't like Hojo, right?)

            Now this was odd. Sort of like deja vu. He could feel a warmth on top of him. And, it was dressed in silk?! His eyes flew open. He found himself staring straight into the beautiful face of Kagome. Urk. I am so dead! His mind shouted, as he forced himself to calm down. She wasn't awake yet. That meant that he had time to escape from her room without being 'sat' twenty times! He slowly got out of the bed, taking great care not to make any sounds. He let out a sigh of relief as he neared the edge. He was going to make it!! Then a hand came out from nowhere and grabbed onto the back of his shirt, sending him falling backwards. Looking up, he stared straight into a pair of brown eyes that sparkled with mischievousness at the moment. (A/N: *sweatdrop* I'm going by the American anime one on this.)

            "Trying to escape Inuyasha?" she asked in a sly voice. He just stared at her, frozen in shock. She was up to something, but what it was, he didn't know.

            "There is a price to pay for trying to escape Inuyasha," she giggled at this. Okay, now he was REALLY freaked out.  She smirked and jumped on him (A/N: GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE GUTTER! DON'T EVEN THINK OF WHAT I KNOW YOU'RE THINKING! I CAN READ MINDS!!) He just lay there in shock, trying to figure out why she was on top of him, when he suddenly felt a pair of hands tickling him through the fine silk he was wearing. Laughing maniacally at the tickling torture she was putting him through, he struggled to get up. Finding that it was useless, he retaliated, going for her feet. Now it was her turn to beg for mercy!!

            The tickle war finally ended when both combatants arranged a truce. Still chuckling, he got out of the bed to stretch. He felt a tug on his ears.

            "Inuyasha," said Kagome as she rubbed his ears, "we should go down and meet with the others! It's already nine o' clock! They're probably up by now eating breakfast." At this word Inuyasha straightened up and tried to run to his room to change. But he found he was stopped by the two hands that were still gripping his ears.

            "Eh? What is it?"

            "Silly," giggled Kagome, "you don't have to change! We're meeting in a private breakfast hall! That means that we can go in our pajamas! Most likely everyone else will be in theirs too!" (A/N: *cackles* What o what could the others be wearing? MUAHAHA!!)

            During the whole time, neither of them noticed a certain little mouse in the room snickering, with a mini camcorder on its head. It dashed off to the breakfast hall, chuckling as it went. Sounds of 'blackmail' could be heard issuing from its tiny mouth.

(A/N: Just GUESS who that is!)

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

            When they had finally made their way down to the breakfast hall, they found that all the others had already made it there. As soon as they arrived, snickering could be heard throughout the whole room.

            "Man! You guys are REALLY getting cozy with each other!" shouted out a certain perverted houshi. Merea and several others whistled at the pair, and then laughed even harder at the sight of the two blushing profusely. They sat down next to each other, refusing to meet anyone else's eye. They became acutely more aware that they were dressed the same, had come in together, and had shared the same bed. What made it worse was that everyone else knew too.

            After a few more catcalls and the routine bashing of Miroku (this time by Sango, Arwen, Squirrel, Saturn, and Senshi), things quieted down. Miroku took this time to see what the others had on. (pervert).  And here is what they were wearing. (A/N: *snicker* Time for some of the world's wackiest clothes!!)Arwen was wearing a stylish (*snicker*) plaid green nightgown made to look like a robe, with little decorative gold and light green leaves spotted everywhere. Merea was wearing a long black t-shirt and pants that said 'Hung-over', and looked like she really was; on the back of the shirt it said, 'I woke up in somebody else's bed, what happened?' Cat was wearing a flaming red t-shirt, with the words 'Touch me and you might get burned' on the front, and wore black shorts with flames coming up the sides. Miroku was wearing a purple t-shirt and boxers, and the t-shirt said something that is not nice to repeat. This is only a PG-13 fic peoples!! Saturn was wearing pajamas that were covered with anime characters from (you guessed it!) SAILOR MOON!! Squirrel was still bundled up in several pairs of coats, yet looked not the least uncomfortable. (Duh! She lives in Florida!) Sango was wearing pink pajamas with the words 'Princess' on the front and back. (*sweatdrop* I couldn't think of anything else.) Kirara was wearing, uh- her FUR COAT of course!! Tinuviel was, incredibly, wearing the exact same thing as Arwen, and both of them were glaring at the other for stealing their pajama idea. Senshi was also fighting it out with Saturn for taking her idea too. Souta had mysteriously disappeared from the table earlier on, after having received a video tape that was given to him by a mouse with a camera on its head. The Inu-tachi wondered at this, while the others just whistled and looked away as if nothing had happened. Shippo was dressed in the same outfit that Kagome had on. And I.R., wait a minute! Where did I.R. go?!

            "Where is I.R?" voiced Miroku.

            "Er-she had to leave," said Arwen in an ominous tone, "she couldn't stay. She caught pneumonia."

            "Oh," said Miroku. (A/N: Time for the chappie title to live up to its name! Let the torture begin! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!) Just then, Hojo walked in wearing (*snickering uncontrollably*) PINK boxers, and a long PINK t-shirt that had PINK and PURPLE hearts all over it! (Imagine that....Somehow it fits him...)

            "Er-Hojo? What are you WEARING?!" asked Kagome as she sat there in shock. The rest of the group was falling down laughing in their seats, unable to form a coherent statement.

            "Eh? Oh, Higurashi! Ohaiyo! Still ready for that date today?" asked Hojo, completely oblivious to her previous question.

            "Um...." was all she could say. She REALLY didn't want to spend another moment alone with him....then she got a good idea. "Yeah, I'm ready! But could I bring a couple friends along with us?"

            "Sure Higurashi! That'd be okay with me!!" he said in his cheerfully stupid way, before walking off with his cheerfully stupid grin that he always stupidly wears. (I hate Hojo!!)

            "So can you guys come with me?? Please! I don't wanna be alone with him!!" she begged her friends.

            "Sorry, but I wouldn't be caught dead near that guy!" said Miroku. Statements like this from Sango, Kirara (yes, even SHE hates him), Squirrel, Arwen, Merea, Tinuviel, and Souta followed. So with pleading eyes Kagome turned toward the unlucky people left.

            "PLEASE?" she begged with puppy dog eyes.

            "Feh," was all Inuyasha said. She took that as a yes.

            "Sure!" Cat agreed with an evil grin and a crazed, demented look in her eye.

            "Of course," complied Saturn with a similar look.

            "Wouldn't miss it!" said Senshi, sharing an evil look with the previous two,

            "Okay!!" yelled Shippo. You couldn't separate him from Kagome with a crowbar.

            And then the Hojo bashing started. Note: Hojo will be bashed in MANY ways. Not just physically, but mentally as well. Even emotionally. I'm evil. )

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

            (To all you readers out there, this chappie will mainly concern Kagome's group, while the next chappie will mainly concern Sango's.)

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

            After breakfast had been finished (during which several interesting events happened concerning ramen, Miroku, mallets, minions, blushes, and the discussion of Hojo's clothes), the group separated into two different bunches. Kagome's group headed off towards where she said she would meet up with Hojo, while Sango's group decided to go hike up to a shrine that was supposed to contain evil spirits. Miroku wanted to see if he could banish them. (Monks...) Kagome's group all left with sad faces, having to go near Hojo, but they brightened up as soon as a scheme came to mind. (*snicker*)

Let the evil torture begin!!

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

            They made their way quickly to the slopes, secretly hoping that Hojo had died on his way there. But to their EXTREME disappointment, he arrived right on time. While they were all wearing their same suits from yesterday, he came in a (ICKY!!) tight rubber suit that must have been specially formulated to keep the cold out. (Think of that one episode from the Simpsons with Flanders. *thinks* Ewww..) Okay, forget I said all that up there! It would be too gruesome to see! Instead, he was wearing a VERY loose skier's outfit (No, he's not one of the VERY COOL snowboarders), and it was PINK!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

            *cough* Okay, back to the story.

            So, Hojo arrived on time, and the rest of the group was very disappointed. They made their way to the lifts, Hojo walking right beside Kagome, with the others trailing behind, determined not to get anywhere nearer to him than they had to be. As they were marched through the lines they were filed into pairs. (I don't know if this happens anywhere else, but they do it like this at the resort I'm closest to.) Kagome got paired up with Hojo, Cat got paired up with Senshi, Saturn got paired up with Shippo, and Inuyasha got paired up with a girl he didn't know that was sneaking suggestive  looks at him. (Guess who. Oh, and throughout this WHOLE time Inuyasha has been wearing his snowboarder's hat, except when Kagome was brushing his hair.)

            Frankly, Inuyasha was more than a little frightened by the looks that the girl was giving him, and really, REALLY didn't want to be paired with her. But, as fate would have it, he was stuck with her. As they boarded their chair, she turned toward him and said, "Hi! My name is Kia! What's yours handsome?" He just stared at her like she was from another planet. (She may be...)

            "Inuyasha," he growled out, scooting further away from her.

            "Inuyasha eh? Kawaii name! Are you single?" she asked in a rush of breath.

            Single? What does that mean? Well, I must be that. I mean, there aren't two of me. "Yeah," he responded suspiciously.

            She squealed. "Sugoi! Do you wanna go out with me?!"

            "Uh...." he knew what that term was, having heard it from Kagome a couple weeks ago. "Uh, no thanks...."

            "Awww...Please? Just one date?"

            "No."

            "Please?" she scooted closer to him.

            "No way." he scooted farther away from her, but found that he had nowhere else to scoot.

            "Please?" she asked seductively, putting a hand on his chest.

            "Hell no!!" he yelled as he leaned back, falling off the chair lift. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OOMPHH!!" he screamed, then landed with an 'oomph' in the snow. "Ow....."

            "NO FAIR!!" he could hear her shout as the lift slowly took her away from him.

            "Crazy bitch..." he muttered as he got up and looked around. He could see the chair that Kagome was in, and-WAIT A MINUTE!! WHAT WAS THAT HOBO GUY DOING WRAPPING AN ARM AROUND HER SHOULDER?! HE IS SO DEAD WHEN I FIND HIM!! He growled at the thought. Then he decided that he should just wait here. Surely they would come back down this way. Then he noticed Senshi and Cat whispering up above him, and yelled, "HEY!! YOU TWO!!" They looked down at him and burst out laughing.

            "Did you fall out of the chair Inuyasha?!" yelled Senshi back to him.

            "NEVER MIND THAT!! I NEED YOU TWO TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME!!" and he yelled his plan up to them. "THINK THAT YOU CAN DO IT?!!"

            "NO PROBLEM MAN!!" shouted Cat in a Jamaican voice. She whispered to one of her minions, and threw it up and over to where Kagome and Hojo sat. Bull's eye!! It landed right between the two! The three watched as a very funny event took place. Inuyasha was running under the chair that held the two, in case it was Kagome that fell by 'accident'.

            Hojo felt something move between him and Kagome, who had a very pissed look that he didn't see because of the fact that he had his arm wrapped around her. Looking down, he came face to face with a little midget Yoda, who held up some legal papers and said in a clear voice, "I'm going to sue you." He screamed and fell backwards, while Kagome just watched in glee as he fell into the snow. He sighed. That wasn't too painful of a landing. Then he felt the ground shift under him, and all the snow started to rush toward a very high cliff. With a final girly shriek he toppled over the edge, never to be seen until later in the story. Kagome was laughing so hard that she fell out of the chair, straight into the arms of Inuyasha, who overbalanced and fell backwards, sliding down the slopes to the bottom. Senshi and Cat high-fived each other, and Shippo and Saturn giggled insanely.

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

            Up higher in the mountains, a certain other group could hear a very girly shriek coming from somewhere below.

            "WHAT WAS THAT?!" yelled Arwen.

            "I believe that it was one of the evil spirits that we must destroy," said Miroku in a calm voice.

            "Oh. It sounded more like a dense guy falling over a very high cliff."

            "No, it was definitely an evil spirit."

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

            How'd you like this chappie?! I'll update again tomorrow! So review! Also, for those of you who have Microsoft word, have you ever had to change the name Hojo? Well, I did, and the fist spelling suggestion it said was 'Hobo'. MUAHAHAHHA!!! FUNNY!! Anyways, till next time, ja ne!!
