I may run, I may hide, but I never tell a lie! Yep! That's right! I said I'd be back and here I am! Back from my cruise! This chap would've been up about two weeks earlier, but I had some more comp problems....*sigh*.... It really gives new meaning to the phrase 'a series of unfortunate events'....But you probably don't wanna know what happened, so let's quit with the chit chat and head on in!

R.R.: (I'm too tired to make the effort to type in l33t today...)

Tinuviel: ^^; Hiei it is then! I take it you have something against the way Kenshin speaks? Don't let my cousin D.g. hear that.....he's her boyfriend/muse. AND QUIT PREDICTING WHAT I'M PLANNING!! *glare* You just ruined the mystery....

Meow the chibi neko: *sweatdrop* Meow....I think that D.g. will be able to find you no matter where....she's a hanyou....she can smell you....

Cat Silver: ^_^ I knew ahead of time that you didn't hate Hojo. I musta forgot to say that in parenthesis by your name. Oh well, is this okay?

Member of IHH:

Cat Silver (not Cat herself, but Iny)

Do you forgive me now?

Jiao-chan: ^^;; Don't be so hard on Sesshoumaru. He got roped into this plan. Don't worry. Nothing's going on between him and Merea. *snicker* She's just his boss...

SquirrelnoShi: --' No sugar for you.

Serena0584: ? Let me tell ya something. You can't write much l33t in a review before most of it gets deleted.

Silver Yukai: ^^; Quebec? Cool. I just got back from Mexico (went on a cruise; Catalina Island had these cool golf carts! We got to drive around in 'em!)

Warning: *gasp* School's started already...NUUUUUUUU!! WHERE DID MY FREAKIN' SUMMER VACATION GO?! WHO TOOK IT?! IT WAS *YOU*, WASN'T IT?! *points* No, not *you*, the person behind you! The guy in the third row with the blue shirt!! YES!! *YOU*!! YOU WILL DIE!! *takes out flamethrower* *cackles*

Cloud: --' If anyone asks....I don't know you.

Me: *finishes killing the evil person*

Cloud: *watches* *flinches* *wishes he were far away from here*

Me: ^^ I feel better now....

Cloud: Just get back to writing the fic....

Me: ^_~

Funny quote I found while surfing FFN: "God gives us relatives; thank God we can choose our friends."

Me: See? Funny.

Cloud: Ha-ha....

Me: --' Cynic.....

Snowball Fights and Snow Angels

(A.k.a.: The Anime Cell Saga)

Gee....thanks Inuyasha Daw. I'm honored.

Chapter 15: Blizzards and Bishies!

        And today class, we shall be touching upon several new pairings; be prepared to be confused as hell. ^_^ Enjoy the random insanity. Also, I am going to tell you now, that ALL the characters will get their chance in the lime light. Today, it's Tinuviel. *grins* I got some good ideas for this....

            "Uh-oh." Were the first words spoken when the snow started to hail down upon the unsuspecting group.

            "Inuyasha, we better find shelter, and fast!" yelled Kagome over the tumult of the wind. He nodded, making his way through the blinding blizzard to reach her.

            "Er, Trunks, is it just me, or is this overkill on Merea's part?!" shouted Saturn as she was nearly swept off her feet by the howling force of the storm.

            "Maybe you're right. Let's go find shelter," Trunks nervously yelled back.

            "Man...it's cold."

            And so the four chilled figures made their way through the ever-deepening snow, intent on finding shelter.

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

            "Get a room!" came the annoyed voice of Tinuviel as she and the others were forced to endure the endless make-out session between Sango and Miroku.

            The snow had started coming down just a few minutes ago, and it had already turned into a blizzard of immense proportions. So now, here they were, stuck in the gym (without food), snowed in, and they had nowhere to get away from the kissing couple.

            It seemed that the two were making up for all the time they had spent together before coming to the conclusion that they were in love, and by now, most of her friends had already passed out from the sheer fluff that permeated the area. She herself could barely stay standing. 

            "That's it! Forget the freakin' storm! I'm outta here!" she yelled at the lovey-dovey couple as she stormed out of the gym, only to come to a complete stop not two feet from the entrance.

            "Cold..." she briefly toyed with the idea of heading back inside. Hearing a particularly loud groan (loud enough to be heard over the storm) she quickly rejected it. Sighing heavily, she trudged on, determined to find some OTHER place to stay in.

            "Ow..." Not ten minutes later, she was numb, tired, and freezing cold. So cold, in fact, that it burned her skin.

            "I hope that somewhere, somehow, Hojo's going through just as much pain," she muttered. That warm and happy thought of the anime world's densest, most hated idiot being in blinding pain kept her going through the storm.

            Sluggishly moving through the high winds and deep snow, she spotted a light in the distance. Her face lighting up with glee, she dashed towards the shelter.

            Nearing it, she recognized it instantly, and her face fell in shattered hopes.

            "DANG IT!!! HOW'D I GET BACK TO THE FREAKIN' GYM?!" she screeched, stomping her feet. With an evil glare that promised total destruction, she stared a little while more at the gym, and then stalked away, muttering curses.

            "Of all the blasted darned things for me to do, I end up walking in circles through a freezin' cold blizzard...."

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

            Inside the gym.....*flinch*

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

            "Oh....Mirokuuuu...."

            "Mmmmmmmmmmm......."

            "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP?!!!!!!!!"

            "Mrow!!!"

            "Nya-nya!! I can't hear you!! LALALALALALALA-"

            "*insane giggle* The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout, down came the rain, and washed the spider out! Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider was never seen again! *insane cackle*"

            "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

            "Oh, Gods, next time we go on a mission, count me OUT!!"

            "Do any of you know how unnerving it is to see your copy kissing someone?!"

            "That's not all they're doing..."

            ".......*loud scream of fright*"

            Pity the poor souls stuck there.....

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

            O_O*** Erm, off to Inu and Kag....

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

            Inu POV:

            Kagome was shivering violently in the face of the freezing winds, mumbling about anything she could think of to get her mind off the numbing cold. I honestly didn't know what to do.  I already had her wrapped up next to me, yet it didn't seem to be helping any. I glanced over at the two newest members of our circle of friends. Friends...that's something I never thought I'd hear in the same sentence as my name. Add to the fact that even before we knew what their true purposes were (or as true as they had told us) they still wanted to bond with us. I shoulda realized that they knew about us earlier; when I went over all the conversations we had, I noticed several things that they had said that shoulda come to my notice. Like the fact that Squirrel actually called me a hanyou that one time, but I was too worried about Hobo getting Kagome to notice it. Kagome...what did I really feel for her? I don't really know. All I know is that I *will* protect her. That's good enough for now I guess. But I've had a lot of fun on this trip, and if anything, I've gotten closer to her. Hell, I don't remember having this much fun in my entire life!! I can wearily make out several tiny points of light in the distance. I blink. And blink again. They're still there.

            I let out an excited, yet tired whoop. "Guys! There's shelter just up ahead! Let's hurry!" That guy, Trunks, nods at me while carrying Saturn. How he's managed to fend off cold and weariness this long intrigues me. There's definitely a lot to respect about the guy. Hell, he puts up with that crazy onna, so he's gotta be strong.

            I stew in the fact that he could possibly be stronger than me. Like hell I'm gonna let him show me up!! I grunt as I swoop up Kagome into my arms, staggering just a bit. I straighten my back though and head onward, smirking on the inside. I ain't no weakling...

            "OOMPH!!"

            I'm gonna shatter the damn rock that just tripped me into a million pieces....and then I'm gonna destroy another one to show all the Evil Rocks in the world who's boss. Yeah. That'll show 'em.

            "Inuyasha?" came the plaintive voice of Kagome, accompanied by snickers from both Trunks and Saturn, "Don't you think you should be getting up now?"

            Oh yeah. Those rocks are going down.

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

            Tinuviel was, once again, trudging forlornly through the snow, bent on finding someplace OTHER than the damned gym. She'd managed to go around in circles several times, always coming back to the gym. But *this* time, she had a plan! And what a plan it was!

            "I'll just go in a *straight* line!!" she crowed with pride. Wow. What a plan. Someone give her an award.

            After putting this genius plan into action, she soon found herself at a cabin that was *not* the gym. She danced happily in joy for a moment, forgetting that all her body heat was being sucked away, thus killing her slowly. Soon though, she came back to the present, shivered, and then half-ran half-hopped over to the door to the large cabin. She knocked once, and heard several shouts, mutterings, and half-muffled complaints coming from the inside.

            And the door opened to reveal a striking young man with red hair, violet eyes, and short stature. She froze on the spot. Gods no...anything but this....I thought I'd never have to hear it again....

            "Come right in. m'lady, it's cold outside, that it is!" he stepped aside and ushered her into the warmth of the cabin. Her left eye twitched at the last part. The damned way of speaking.......somebody kill me now. Better yet, I'll kill *him*!! She barely got her ire under control, putting on a fake smile.

            "Why, thank you. You're right, it *is* cold outside."

            "We seem to be getting a lot of visitors to this cabin, that we are."         

            Twitch. Twitch. Must...control...irritation...

            Carefully avoiding eye contact with the man, she cast a quick glance around the room. Shock soon set in as she realized who else was there.

            "Saturn?! Trunks?! Inuyasha?! KAGOME?! What the *hell* are you doing here?!" her jaw nearly dropped to the floor in surprise.

            Saturn cast an irritated glance over at her, momentarily losing her concentration on the staring contest she was having with Trunks. "The same thing you're doing here of course."

            It made sense. She managed to get over her shock, but it came back on the rebound as she spotted another person she'd never dream of seeing in this seemingly inconspicuous cabin. "HI-CHAN?!" Her jaw really did drop to the floor this time as she stared at the short fire-demon. He stared right back, momentarily showing surprise on his face.

            "T-Tinuviel?!"

            "HIEI!!" she squealed and practically flew across the room, latching onto the shocked Hiei.

            "Hiei, it seems that your girlfriend is happy to see you," commented a wryly grinning Kurama. Hiei's facade was quickly thrown back on as he shot a withering glare at the chuckling kitsune. Nonetheless, he still let Tinuviel latch onto him possessively.

            "Hey, at least I ain't the only guy here with an added attachment anymore!" commented Sanosuke as he motioned toward Kia, who was still periodically squeezing the life out of him.

            "Join the club," added a miserable Tenchi as he had two girls locked onto him at the moment.

            "Hey Keiko, how come ya never do that to me, huh?" queried Yusuke.

            The only response he got was a Death Glare and a Turned Back.

            "..."

            "So....guys....what do we do now?" asked Tinuviel from her spot at Hiei's side.

            Silence reigned throughout the room.

            "Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, ninety-nine bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around, ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall!"

            "STOP IT RIGHT THERE SATURN!!"

            And the torture continued.

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

            ^_~ I've bet you all have been waiting for some more bloody, gory, descriptive torture, ne? Sorry. Not much today. Come back tomorrow.

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

            There was only so many times one could be kicked around like a soccer ball before one finally lost their mind. Hojo was on the brink of this.

            "Joy to the world! The Lord has come! Let Earth receive her king!" Hojo sang in hopes of appeasing the bodiless voice that seemed intent on hurting him. He fervently hoped that she was intently religious.

            "Sorry dude. I'm not."

            Damn...he thought, right before being hit with another rock. Obviously the bodiless voice could still utilize physical items such as rocks, sticks, and rabid wolves.

            He decided to play it safe and act dead.

            "Psht. Like that's gonna fool me. Wimp."

            Another rock was thrown.

            I hate my life....

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

            Okay guys. This was just a filler chapter to tide you over till tomorrow. *That's* when you'll all get a lengthy FIFTEEN page chap. Sounds nice, eh? You'll have to wait though; Erica has dibs on the comp in the morning. In fact, I'm not even gonna ask ya to review this one; it's WAY to short to count as a chapter. Hope you all like it though.
