Hi all! I'm back! And this time, it wasn't my fault for updating! It was my parents! SO HA!! YOU HAVE NO REASON TO HATE ME!! *cough* D.g. and I were grounded. Our punishment? No writing stories. At all. So, finally, here's the next chap of my fic!
I got a question for y'all: Would you like me to update MORE with smaller chapters, or go the same rate I'm going now with really long chapters?
Oh yeah, and another thing, I will NOT be accepting ANYBODY else. At all. So don't even ask. There are already TOO many people in the fic, and I have enough trouble keeping up with them as it is. So sorry to all who asked, but no.
Oh yeah, and Jack, don't worry, I'll go easy on Cloud. *grin* IF he stops trying to play the hero by LEAVING US IN THE DUST!!
Cloud: *sweatdrop*
Me: Darn muses these days, they are SO rebellious and irresponsible!
Cloud: Me? Rebellious and irresponsible? What the heck are you talking about?
Me: *glare*
Cloud: *glare*
Me: Oo mister, don't you even TRY to go up against me! Remember, *I* got the cool sword now, not you. You just got that broadsword. Nya nya.
Cloud: *goes off to silently fume in a corner*
Me: ^_^ v And once again, I am da winner! \/\/007!
And last but not least, Litwolf689, could ya tell me which characters you were confused about? Was it the characters like Trunks, Miro, and Iny? Or was it the ones with Kenshin, Kaoru, and Sano? ^^;; I got a LOT of new characters. *sweatdrop* I'm gonna hafta kill some of them off.....
^_~ Oh yeah, one more thing. ^___________^ Some of the characters MIGHT disappear...just to let you know....*evil crazed maniacal grin*
Cloud: *rolls eyes* Jeez, you can't even ACT like a half-way decent evil person. That is so pathetic.
Me: Cloud, unless you want ME to kill you off, I suggest you shut it. Right now.
Cloud: -_-* Fine.
Me: ^_^ Good boy. Oh yeah, and also, I have some shameless plugging to do. I ORDER YOU ALL TO READ "The Legend of Six", "Kitten Caboodle", and "Inuyasha Meets the Easter Bunny and Others." Two are by my cousins (we go under the same penname) and the last is by one of our most favorite authors, Jack!
Members of the IHH club!
Ummm....basically everybody. There are SO many people that I can't even list them all! ^_^* But I DO have some special responses to certain reviewers....
Meow the chibi neko: You can run, but you can't hide when D.g.'s on the attack...
Inuyasha Daw: Anime Cell Saga????? *sweatdrop*
Kumori Ookami: You two are RELATED?! *pause* Well, it would make sense...anyways, we'll try to review your fic later on.
SenshiofSilence: Yes, a pic would be nice, and some info about him too.
Tinuviel: Okay, if you're gonna talk like a surfer dude, then I'm gonna talk like a cyber freak! ^_^ `/0U $|-|4|| |\|07 |-|u|27 |3|\|$|-|1|\|, |)9 |-|4$ |)18$ 0|\| |-|1/\/\!!!!!!!!!

Cloud: Grrrrreaaaaaaaatttttt.....
Me: ) Now to the long awaited fic!
Snowball Fights and Snow Angels
Chapter 13: The Half-Truth Is Out!
Quickly deciding upon the 'ambassador' of the group, and ignoring Cat's pleas, they all pushed Tinuviel forward. She gave a disgruntled look back at them, before sighing in reluctance and trudging onward to speak with the Inu gang. She looked at each one in turn: Kagome, Shippo, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kouga, Souta (who had previously been missing), and Kirara.
In a clear, calm voice she said, "We are from another dimension."
The previously mentioned characters just stared at her in shock.
"What the hell do you mean, 'another dimension'?!" snarled Inuyasha, glaring at Tinuviel.
"I mean, we come from another world similar to yours, except chaos abounds a lot more. Special people called authors can jump between dimensions, and can break any laws of physics there are. Some have even found love in another dimension," she glanced at Saturn and Trunks for a moment, "while others have been able to 'create' their own characters." She motioned towards Cat, Iny, and Miro. The trio just waved back hesitantly.
"Okay, here's another question," interjected Sango, glaring at both Miroku and Miro, "HOW COME THERE ARE *TWO* MIROKUS?!"
"Cat created him as her 'minion', so basically he is the alternate dimensional form of your Miroku. And I'm not gonna even go into who else besides Inuyasha and Miroku have 'clones'." She glanced warily at Sango.
"I believe you," said Kagome, breaking through the tension that had stifled the area like um...stuff.
Tinuviel sighed in relief, "Good. Anyways, we're just here to enjoy ourselves and meet you guys, but then old Frieza had to pop in."
"Why did you want to meet us?" asked Miroku.
"Cause you're famous in our world!" interjected Arwin.
"Famous?" Kouga grinned, "I like the sound of that!"
"Keh, stupid Wolf, it's not YOU that's famous, it's ME," Inuyasha declared, puffing up like a prideful rooster.
"Yeah right, dog----" Kouga caught the warning look Kagome was giving him, "---boy. Everyone knows that I'M the hottest guy around!"
*all the male characters facevault, then get up again and start to argue about who is the hottest*
"Guys?" Kagome tentatively asked.
"No, no, Kagome," Saturn lectured, "It goes like this: ALL YOU TESTOSTERONE DRIVEN MEN HAD BETTER SHUT UP OR I'LL HAVE TO MAKE YOU!!!!!" She held up the glaive threateningly.
Pure silence descended upon the group.
"Thanks Saturn," Kagome said, smiling appreciatively.
"No problem. I do it all the time."
"Anyways, how about we all just go back to having fun? I do believe that Souta was gonna introduce us to a new game called Bombardment at the gym." Souta nodded at this. "So let's all get back to having our vacation!"
A loud cheer of agreement arose at this.
And so the groups were split again.
(This chapter will be about the first group, while the next will be about the other.)
Group 1: Codename: The Bombs
Consists of: Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Cat, Senshi, Squirrel, Iny, Miro, Tinuviel, Souta, and Arwin. Oh yeah, and Kirara.
Group 2: Codename: The Couples (^_~ They need some bonding time...)
Consists of: Inuyasha, Kagome, Saturn, and Trunks.
The Bombs *snicker*
And so Souta once again led the way towards the gym, and in his wake were several interested people following him. They all walked on for about five minutes, before arriving at a large, red building with the word 'Gym' on it.
"Is this the place?" asked Cat.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe they should put up a sign or something that says what it is," Iny commented sarcastically, "Does anybody know if this is the place?????" He rolled his eyes.
"Jeez, you don't have to be so grumpy about it, you llama!" Cat retorted.
".......Llama?"
"Don't ask," sighed Squirrel, "And Souta, I REALLY hope that this game of yours doesn't take much work. I hate work. I hate snow. I hate TREES." She glared at an innocent looking pine tree which seemed to flinch under her gaze. Everybody else just looked at her oddly.
"I choose not to comment on that," said Kouga, who was getting slightly nervous under the adoring gaze of Cat. "What's your problem?!"
"Hm?" she responded in a distracted way, still staring at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?!"
"Cause you're glompable...."
"What?"
"Run man, run!" shouted Miro, "She's gonna glomp you!"
Kouga looked confused for a minute, and before he knew it, some unseen force had tackled him into the snow, tightly gripping his waist.
"Can't.....breathe..." he gasped, going blue in the face.
"Get offa him Cat! You're killing him!" Tinuviel ordered, helping the others pull Cat off the dazed Kouga. He sat up, looking shocked and gasping for breath.
"And that, my friend, is what our people dub a 'glomp'," commented Arwin.
"That....was unexpected..." he wheezed, looking out of breath.
"Yeah, and believe it or not, it happens a lot to other guys too, so don't feel like you've been singled out," explained Iny, pointing at his ears for effect, "And Cat set the record for the largest number of glomps. I do believe that she has glomped about one thousand-two-hundred-and-fifty-six times now."
"Yes, and we all wish she would QUIT IT!!" yelled Squirrel, whapping Cat in the head.
"Owie...." Cat muttered.
"C'mon guys! Hurry it up! I wanna play this new game Souta was talking about!" Shippo whined, sounding hurried.
Everybody quit whatever argument they had and followed the excited duo as they bounced along, urging everyone to go faster. Kouga lagged behind though, rubbing his probably cracked ribs.
"So....I take it that this means you don't like Jaken anymore, right?" asked Senshi.
"Yep. Now I like Vash and Nicholas!" Cat declared, her eyes turning into stars anime style.
"Okay, now THAT is the kind of crush you should have!" commented Tinuviel, "Having crushes on things like...Jaken....is seriously wrong. You should only like cute guys! Not ugly toads!"
"Right. I have realized that now. Oh look, is that LEGOLAS over there?!" Cat exclaimed and pointed, grabbing a heap of snow in her hands while the other girl had turned away.
"LEGOLAS?! WHERE?! WHERE?! HE IS SOOOOO HOT AND---MURPHHGH!!" Tinuviel suddenly found her tirade interrupted when a clump of cold snow had been smashed upon her face. Wiping it off, she angrily glared at Cat. "Oh, that's it, you're going down!"
"Hey, ladies, how about we continue this war INSIDE?" suggested Souta, motioning to the gym. Everyone else had already gone inside, totally ignoring the arguing duo.
"Okay."
"Allllriiiiighhhhhhttyyyyy then."
"Oh great, now she's talking like Ace Ventura!"
"Re-he-heaalllllyyyyy?"
"*sigh*"
"Hurry it up, it's freezing out here!"
"'Kay." the two chimed at the same time. Glaring at each other, they made their way indoors, quickly taking off their coats from the warmth. All except Squirrel of course, who still stayed bundled up in her many coats and scarves.
"Okay people, the name of the game is Bombardment!" stated Souta, walking before the group like a drill sergeant. "And this is how it goes: I'm gonna divide you up into two groups, the alpha team and the beta team. Each group gets ammo in the form of nerf balls." He held up one of the soft, round balls for effect. "And each group will also be given two walls." He motioned to those weird mat things that are used in gym for rolling. (You know, those things that can fold, and usually are blue or several different colors...) "You will also be given a cone." He held up the orange cone. "Each team will set their cone in the middle of their 'side', inside the key of the basketball court. The object is to protect your cone, and try to steal the other team's cone."
"How are we gonna protect the cone?" asked Iny.
"Simple. You use the nerf balls. Whenever you hit a player on the opposing team, they have to go back to their side. If they had the cone and were hit, they have to put the cone back, and then they are put out of the current game. All hits below the waist count, except for you know where on the guys. Usually, this is played with a LOT more players, and the rules are different, but this is as close to it as I could come with such a small number. (Usually there are about twenty on each side.)"
"Cool. So who's on which team?" interjected Arwin.
"Okay, on the alpha team there is Kouga, Sango, Tinuviel, Miro, Shippo, and me. On the beta team there is Miroku, Cat, Senshi, Arwin, Squirrel, and Iny. That oughtta make it fair enough. Now remember, we're here to have fun, not hurt each other." He laughed nervously. "Okay, let's start."
Kirara's POV(Weird, I know, but I believe that I am the FIRST one to do this, lol!)
I watched from the sidelines as the two teams went to their separate ends, and noticed that there seemed to be some rivalry going on. Tinuviel and Cat were glaring daggers at each other; Kouga and Iny were in the same state. Wow! This would turn into a serious cat fight all right! And my lady Sango was glowering at that lecherous monk, Miroku, too. Hmmm....she doesn't seem to carry as much anger at him anymore. I should look into that. He's gotta be worthy by my standards to even have a chance with her! But I guess that he's all right, for a lecher. After all, even through all his lecherousness, he's still a virgin! I can smell it. I think that he would be good for my lady Sango.
Souta suddenly blew on a whistle, and fight started! Balls zoomed every which way, hitting the slower targets. Kouga was easily avoiding the attack, as was Iny, and the two seem determined to hit the other with one of those soft, squishy ball things. Cat and Tinuviel acted much the same, but soon they started throwing things other than nerf balls at each other; Tinuviel had somehow gotten a hold on several baseballs. I ducked as one came pelting straight toward me. That was a close call! Those two should watch where they are aiming!
I turned my attention back to Miroku and Sango-sama. They seemed to be on more civil terms, not progressing beyond the occasional cat call or duck and throw. Except, they seemed to be getting closer, and were slowly but surely moving towards the darker corner of the gym. I shook my head slightly. Kids these days. Suddenly, Miroku dashed to Sango-sama and pulled her to that dark corner, with her following along happily. Now, when did THAT happen?! I tried to ignore the sounds coming from over there, but it was kind of hard with my superior hearing.
I had to duck again as another nerf ball whizzed by me, managing to score a hit on Miro. I snickered as best as I could. It would seem that Cat had turned her anger to another target.
The game proceeded like this for quite a while, and yet nobody had managed to retrieve the opponents' cone. Suddenly, I saw Kouga make a dash for the beta team's cone, he ran down the length of the gym, and was soon confronted by Iny. He dodged the squishy missiles aimed at him, picked up the cone, and dashed back to his side. A cheer rose up from the weary warriors. I beamed, my lady Sango's team had won! I watched as Kouga did an extremely odd victory dance, and as Iny hurled a baseball at him and yelled for him to shut up. Kouga batted the baseball away, and the next thing I knew, it was flying toward me! In the blink of an eye, it collided with my head and knocked me down behind the bench. Owwwwww......that hurt! Okay! KOUGA'S TOAST!!
I angrily transformed into my full demon form, and charged that stupid wolf, baring my fangs. I stopped though when a voice cried out.
"Kirara! Don't!" It was my lady Sango! I quickly checked my attack and transformed back, looking at her. Her hair was mussed up, and she even had a hicky on the side of her neck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^0-0^ WHAT THE?!
I rolled my eyes. Darn kids these days.......
************************************************************************
With the Kenshin-gumi! Madness ahead!
************************************************************************
Silver walked beside Kenshin as they made their way to the lodge, hoping to get some hot cocoa. Kia was still glued to Sano, and every other second they could hear a resounding "KAWAII", and an oomph from Sano which indicated that he had been squeezed out of air yet again. Everybody else just tried to ignore it.
"So, Kenshin, are we there yet?"
"No."
Five seconds passed. "How about now?"
"No."
"Now?"
"NO."
"What about now?"
"Yahiko, I will tell you when we are at the lodge, until then, I kindly ask that you quit asking that annoying question."
"Okay Kenshin!" Yahiko happily agreed, and then decided to switch over and push Kaoru's buttons. He dropped behind Silver and Kenshin to talk to Kaoru.
"Hey Kaoru, watcha doing?" he asked, noticing that she had her eyes trained on the two conversing in front of them.
"I'm making sure that that Silver doesn't make a move on my Kenshin!"
"Why would you ever think that?"
"Because, she said he was cute, and now she's devoting all her attention to him!"
"Maybe it's because he is a nice guy to talk to?"
"Psht, yeah right, she just wants to steal him away from me!"
"You just keep telling yourself that Kaoru...."
"Hey you two, what are you talking about back there?" called Sano, who was still being leeched by Kia.
"Nothing," the two chorused. His eyebrow lifted slightly.
"Right, and the abominable snowman is real."
Suddenly, the same girl from before charged by them, cackling, "I am the abominable snowman, fear me! BOO!!" Before running off again.
"What were you saying Sano?" asked Kaoru innocently.
"That freaky lady doesn't count!"
"KAWAII!!" Re-glomp.
"Uh, I think my ribs are bruising...."
A few more minutes of this led them to the lodge, and they gleefully entered, eager to get away from the biting cold outside. Only three people were in the lodge at the time, a boy with dark brown or black hair, cut short, and worn with a kind of dragon tail at the nape of his neck. He had a 'my-life-is-being-made-a-living-hell-as-we-speak' look on his face as he watched the two other girls arguing about him. One was scantily clad, with long silver hair and golden eyes, she had a feral aura about her. The other was dressed royally, nearly all her clothes in some kind of purple color to match her violet hair pulled into a complicated pony-tail. She spoke with authority, obviously used to being obeyed. But that was exactly the opposite of what the other woman was doing.
"Ayeka! How many times must I tell you! Tenchi is MINE! I saw him first, you royal pain!" The woman who spoke had seemingly glided over to the boy and had wrapped her arms around his neck, causing a light blush and an embarrassed look to fall over his face.
"Ryoko, I demand that you release my Lord Tenchi from your diseased embrace, you foul space pirate!" She spoke with a high, whiny voice, one that irritated easily. Immediately, Yahiko, Sano, and Silver all had taken a better liking to the one called Ryoko. This woman, although royalty, was obviously a total and complete b*tch! (Okay, so I like Ryoko/Tenchi pairings better! I HATE Ayeka's voice! It's SO annoying! And she has that arrogant royal air about her...oo....*goes into a long rant about how much BETTER Ryoko is*)
"Ahem, excuse us for interrupting, but the lodge is not the best place to hold an argument. Maybe you should wait till later, that you should," suggested Kenshin, bowing politely.
"Ah, yes, sorry about this," Tenchi hurriedly apologized, looking even more embarrassed that others had heard the little argument.
"BUT TEEEEENNCCCCHIIIIIII!!" Ayeka whined, "That dratted Ryoko won't let you go!"
"Aw, come on Tenchi, how 'bout we ditch this loser princess and go have some fun, hm?" Ryoko suggested, smiling slyly.
"And here we have another love triangle...great, just great," muttered Yahiko.
"Hey, it could be worse," reassured Sano.
"Yeah, how so?"
"It could always start snowing, therefore leaving us trapped in this lodge with these oddballs," Yahiko motioned towards the two still fighting girls. Suddenly, thunder rolled up, and what sounded like an evil laugh was heard (*cough*me*cough*), and in a millisecond snow started to pound outside, a gigantic blizzard of immense proportions.
"Yahiko?"
"Yeah?"
"NEVER say those words again."
"Right, gotcha."
************************************************************************
^_~ Off with Hojo...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
************************************************************************
"Somebody? Anybody? Help me!" Hojo called down the slopes, hoping against hope that somebody would hear him. He nearly cried in misery when a snowstorm started up, biting at his skin and quickly numbing every part of his body. Suddenly, a piece of paper flew into his face. He pulled it off and read: Hiya Homo boy! This horror you are going through is courtesy of Brat, from the dimension of the authors, on behalf of everybody who hates your guts. The next painful experience you shall go through is dedicated to DVL, Sailor Saturn, Kumori Ookami, Meow the chibi neko, and, because I couldn't include her in my story, Subaruu0584. Any others who want you tortured, I will gladly do so. And by their terms. ^_~ Have a nice day, ja! XP JOKING!
He looked in horror at the letter.
"Oh my God...who would be so fucking messed up to do this to me?!"
Another piece of paper hit him in the face. And he read it: *I* am that messed up to do that to you, and just for swearing TWICE now, you shall suffer painfully. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
"Shit---aki mushrooms..." he quickly added on the second part. Suddenly, he felt the ground rumble through under his feet, and in the blink of an eye had been thrown off of the top of the mountain to fall several hundred feet, bashing against the rocky sides, down to another ledge. His eyes widened as he saw what awaited him.
"Oh no....." Oh yes! It was----*duh duh duh* a horrible, terrifying, evil, BUNNY. Now, everybody knows that Hobo over here has a distinct fear of bunnies, stemming from a traumatizing experience in his childhood.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed as he watched it come nearer, and with no grace whatsoever he rolled off the ledge, choosing to plunge down several hundred more feet instead of facing the bunny. He groaned in pain, and then heard an angry, high-pitched little voice behind him.
"How dare you fall onto Lord Sesshoumaru-sama's path, you mangy little human!"
Hmmmmmmmm....I wonder who THAT could be.......
************************************************************************
Okay, there's the long awaited chapter, and I sincerely thank all of you who suggested ways to get over writer's block! They really did work! And, although this chapter was supposed to be up on the 10th, my computer's not really working, so I'm actually posting it about an hour after it had been finished. (It's 12:26 right now. AM.) I hope you all liked it, and I'm sorry again for taking so long!
