Man! Talk about a busy month! Sorry I couldn't update, but ya know how it is. Life. EVIL!! Hey, guess what people? We're nearing the end of dis fic! 'Twas only now that I realized it, seeing that there's, at most, five chaps left. Cool, ne? Time for a poll! WHO WANTS A SEQUEL?!
^_____^
RR: Whoaaaaa boy! Get ready for a LONG downward scroll if ya wanna get to da story! ^^;; I'm replying to ALL today!
Katherine/Megan Jones: *still looks suspicious* Blind people CAN read and write ya know...they have special keyboards....and I don't even wanna know about that whole joke...
SailorKagome: I wanna keep Hojo alive for the sequel. IF there's a sequel that is...
Black Star Falcon: ^_^ Torture is a beautiful thing....
Silver Yukai: *looks amused* Ya wanna see Sesshy? *grin* Read on, my friend. Read on.
Ketara: Aye aye! Ready and initiated for Hobo torture! Counting, t-minus thirty minutes!
pms avenger: I LOVE Digimon!! My friends all think it's stupid, but I LOVE Matt!! HE ROCKS!! *waves a little Yamato flag* *Cloud gets jealous* Hehe....I have a thing for blonde, strong, and silent guys. Vash is on my list too. *Cloud gets even more jealous* Joking, Cloud-chan. Joking. Anyways, I'll TRY to fit ya in. The story's comin' to a close though, but I might mention you.
Sailor Saturn: *stands behind Cloud, watching the tigers warily* Nice kitties....good kitties....go after Hojo first....pretty kitties....
'Pretty kitties': Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......*bare sharp, poisonous fangs*
ME: OO;; Eep! POISONOUS fangs?! WASHU!! QUIT MESSING WITH THE ANIMALS' DNA STRUCTURES!!!!!!!!!!
SkyeKat: *sniff* Not many future chaps left, sadly.... Sequel anyone?
Boo: ^_^ Good lyrics.
Anima Mouse: Yep...one bad thing about many charas though....MAJOR headache when ya stick 'em together in the same dimension....
DevilWench: Honestly, people keep on saying that this is a good fic, but I can't seem to grasp that yet.....It's my first fic, and horribly written. How can you people like it?! *confused yet happy*
ssjinpan2: Aw....so you're not part of the mass corruption? Yeah, I was that way too, long ago (*cough*threemonths*cough*). Still, it's kinda funny. Don't worry, there won't be any 'action' or anything...*giggles and then breaks into hysterical laughs*
EvilBunnies: O_o There's two of you now......?! *screams and runs off*
Anandria: You changed your name? Cool! Also, I just personally hate Ayeka. To me, she's like the incarnation of preppiness. I hate preps. I side more with the Ryoko/Tenchi pairings. Ryoko's just cooler. And....ya know...Ayeka was originally in love with her half-brother....*shiver* So, marrying Tenchi would be like....like...incest. I'm all for shounen ai pairings, but incest just scares me to the extremes, except in some cases. Very special cases. One in a million cases. Yeah. Oh yeah, nice reenactment of your and Hiei's meeting. Thanks for the ideas too!
Meow the chibi neko: *grins* Surreee....I just need to knick my mom's digi camera, and get those two on film, and then off ta Relena it goes. Mwahahahaha....*goes off cackling*
*D.g. comes in, finds the computer temporarily open* *grins evilly* Well....HELLO Meow....imagine meeting you here, of all places. ^_^ You will die in seven days....MWAHAHAHAHAZ!!
*Brat comes back in* *sweatdrop* D.G.!! OFFA MY COMP!!
XxBlackxAngelxX: Yep. I and my cousins are forced to use my aunt's address. *sigh* My parents won't let me get my own....T_T
drow goddess: Oo;; Take a chill pill dude. You're starting to scare me.
inuflames: Er.....no. I have WAY too many charas in dis fic as it is.
esteebee: Duo, Heero, Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei are from the Gundam Wing series; Merea and all the other OCs are made-up; Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei, and Keiko are from Yu Yu Hakusho; Tenchi, Ryoko, and Ayeka are from the Tenchi series; Kenshin, Yahiko, Sano, and Kaoru are from Rurouni Kenshin; Trunks is from DBZ; the doppelgangers of Inuyasha and Miroku are from Cat's deranged mind; that's about all I have...so far. Oh yeah, and the baddies: Toguro-Yu Yu Hakusho; Shishio-Rurouni Kenshin; Galaxia-Sailor Moon; Bob and CEO-Sailor Saturn's mind; Treize-Gundam Wing; Naraku and Kikyo-Inuyasha; Freeza-DBZ; Wow. It think that is all so far.
shadowcat241: Homework is a horrible thing. It prevents me from my writing.
Sakura-chan88: Well, yes, Hojo swore. ^_^ I think I pushed him over the edge. And yes, I am Brat. And D.g....? Well, let's just say, she's never allowed near my computer ever again.
Loselen Snowstar: Fine, fine. Cameo. Read on.
Josie: *evil grin* Trigun and Ranma?! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME!! THANK YOU!!
Cloud: O_o;; Oh no. Brat!!! I thought that we weren't gonna put anymore charas in!!
Ranisa: Shippo is currently stuck in the gym with Sango and Miroku....poor kid. Oh yeah, and read on to get your 'god fox'. *snickers*
Me: On to the fic! From now on, charas will be mysteriously disappearing! *bum bum bum*
Cloud: It's about time you got rid of some of them.
Me: ^^;; Yes. But I'm gonna add more.
Cloud: *facefault* WHAT?!
Snowball Fights and Snow Angels
Chapter 17: Anime Chara Roundup Time! Giddyup!
The air of suspense and tension that hung about the resort was almost tangible. If you threw a rock at it, the rock would bounce back. Very freaky. In fact, it was proven to work.
"Guys! Ya gotta see this!" exclaimed Silver, as she chucked another rock out the door, only to watch it slow down in the air, then fly back.
The other occupants of the cabin looked on in amazement and apprehension.
"Somehow, I don't think this bodes well," commented Tenchi.
"Whoever heard of tangible air?!" queried Kaoru.
The experienced fighters of the group all frowned and studied the phenomenon with suspicious looks.
A few minutes ago, the storm had abruptly stopped, for some unknown reason. Almost as if whoever had created the storm had been distracted from their job.
This caused Saturn and Trunks to think that something had gone horribly wrong with their plan. Together with Silver and Tinuviel, they quietly discussed the goings-on a little ways away from the rest of the group.
"Do you think something bad happened?" asked Saturn.
"Well, we know that Freeza's in this world, so that means that he may have something to do with it," commented Trunks.
"But we haven't seen hide nor hair of that freak!" exclaimed Silver.
"Maybe it has something to do with all the characters that got pulled into this dimension," muttered Tinuviel.
"Or maybe....-" Trunks was interrupted by a loud yelling from the other group. The trio rushed over, noticing the shocked looks on the faces of their comrades.
"What? What is it? What happened?!" asked Silver.
"It's....it's....Kaoru...she's disappeared," said a pale-faced Kenshin, who was unconsciously gripping the hilt of his sword in anger. "One minute she was there, and then when I turned back to her, she was gone! Vanished without a trace!"
"But that can't be possible!" said an outraged Inuyasha, who was clutching Kagome to him defensively, as if she would be the next to disappear, "Things like that just don't happen!"
A ripple passed through the group, as they suspiciously looked around them.
"Well, we should at least search for her," suggested Kagome, tucked close to Inuyasha. The others nodded in agreement, and set off through the door, only to find their way blocked by the tangible air wall.
"What the hell?!" cried Sanosuke.
"It seems to be a spirit shield," commented Kurama. He strode forward and curiously laid his palm against the shield, finding resistance. And quite a bit of pain as well. With a small hiss he drew his hand back, noting the red burn marks. He turned back to the rest of the group. "We shall have to find a weak spot."
"Feh! Tetsusaiga can bust through this!" spat Inuyasha, wielding his sword. Everyone quickly scrambled out of the way.
"Tetsusaiga!" he shouted, slashing ferociously at the barrier. Everyone's attention was centered on him, but as the smoky haze evaporated, the barrier was found to still be up.
"We should probably split into pairs and test the different areas of the wall," suggested Tenchi. "That way, we will be able to find the weakest spot faster."
And so they were paired up, but not without a shocking surprise.
"Now KEIKO'S gone!!" yelled a furious Yusuke as he scanned the area in defeat. "Whoever is doing this is gonna pay big time!" He raised a fist toward the sky in frustration.
Similar shouts came from the pairs at the same time.
"Tenchi?! Where are you?!" came the frantic yells of Ryoko and Ayeka from behind the cabin.
"Hiei?! HIEI?!" Tinuviel shouted from somewhere on the west side.
"Kenshin!"
"Kurama!"
The remaining members of the group gathered all together, frightened.
"Somehow, I don't think that splitting up was such a good idea..." muttered Silver.
"Okay, so, everybody who is here say 'here'," ordered Saturn.
"Uh...Saturn-chan? I don't think that will work," mumbled an embarrassed Trunks.
"*blink blink* Really? My bad."
Everybody just sweatdropped at that.
"Okay, so we have left: Trunks, Saturn, Inuyasha, Kagome, me, Yusuke, Silver, Yahiko, Kia, Sanosuke, Ryoko, and Ayeka-" Another scream, followed by another vanished person, "-okay, scratch that. No more Ayeka," counted Tinuviel.
"Ha! Like anyone would miss her!" scoffed Ryoko.
Unsurprisingly, nobody argued against that.
"Guys, I think our situation has just gotten a whole lot worse. We're gonna hafta get some help on this," suggested Silver.
"But who?" asked a very curious Saturn, noticing a light blush on the face of Silver.
"Oh....Sesshoumaru-sama is here," Silver mumbled, now turning an interesting shade of crimson.
"OH," Inuyasha smirked, still keeping a firm grip on Kagome, "*I* see."
"And what do you mean by that?!" questioned Silver, glaring.
"He means," Yusuke interjected, "that you have a crush on his older half-brother."
"What?! I-I-I do not!"
"Right," said Ryoko, hovering in the air, "You just keep telling yourself that."
Okay. So they weren't THAT worried about the disappeared people. Hey, why should you be when you know that those people have Kenshin, Tenchi, Hiei, and Kurama with them?
"So....what's Plan B?" asked Kagome.
"Plan B is-" said Saturn, pausing for a moment before looking at the rest of the group with a sheepish look, "uh...hehe...I hadn't thought that far yet...."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HADN'T THOUGHT THAT FAR YET?!" demanded Sanosuke.
Before she could answer, another scream came, and two more people disappeared.
"Great. Now Kia and Yahiko are gone. Who's next?" Ryoko dryly commented.
"How about we take turns pulling straws? Whoever gets the shortest straw has to disappear next," suggested Silver.
One cold, hard look from the rest of the group shot down that suggestion quickly enough.
"Well, what should we do then?! If you're all so smart, then come up with something!" Silver snapped.
And then the awkward silence comes.
"Oh, for the love of--!!" with a furious snort, she rounded on the silent ones, "Well, *I* am going to go and get help from Sesshoumaru-sama! YOU can all stay here and disappear one by one!" With a small growl, she whirled away from them. Trudging through the snow, she was only stopped by the barrier. "KISAMA!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU DAMNED WALL!!!" With an enraged punch, she broke through the shield, continuing her stalking through the snow towards the hotel where Sesshoumaru was supposedly staying at.
And through that time span of twenty seconds, three more people had disappeared.
"Well. Isn't this just peachy?" commented a sarcastic Tinuviel. "So, there's only five of us left. Me, Inuyasha, Kagome, Trunks, and Saturn."
"This doesn't bode well," came the pessimistic response from Trunks.
THWAP!!!
The palm that connected with the back of Trunks's head left him a bit dazed.
"Be optimistic for once! Look on the good side of things!" scolded Saturn.
"Yeah? Like what?" asked Inuyasha.
"Like the fact that there's SNOW for Christmas!"
"Uh...Saturn...I hate to burst your bubble, but....it's nowhere near Christmas," corrected Kagome.
With a wail, Saturn fell with a plop on the ground. "AHHHHHH!! YOU'VE BURST MY BUBBLE!! HOW *DARE* YOU!"
And once again, sweatdrops rained down from peoples' heads like...uh...rain? Tomatoes? Homework? Pocky?
With a disapproving look on her face, Tinuviel stared up at the sky. "Narrator person....you're doing a HORRIBLE job with the similes."
Oh shut up.
"Make me!"
Of course, this odd exchange between someone only Tinuviel could hear and herself made a very odd sight to her peers.
"WHHHHHEEEEEEEE!! TINUVIEL'S GOING CRAZY TOO!! YAY!! WE CAN GO TO THE ASYLUM *TOGETHER*!!!" cheered an ecstatic Saturn, giggling crazily, once again bursting into song, "The happy place, with trees and grass and rabbits and birds and men in white suits who smile ALL the time and looky-here, some acid, oh my, to burn the little bunnies and squirrels into bleached bones and-" She was thankfully stopped by a hand covering her mouth.
"Please Saturn-chan, no singing that song near other people. It frightens them," sighed Trunks.
Removing his hand, she nodded, "Okie-dokie! Whatever floats your boat! ^_^"
"Right now, I think that my boat is beached," muttered Kagome.
"Hmmmm...beaches....ya know Kagome-" Inuyasha suggested.
"Let's just survive our first vacation, before we plan the next, okay?"
Inuyasha pouted a little, but quickly agreed.
"Guys? I just realized something," groaned Tinuviel.
"What is it?" asked Saturn, still humming the song.
"The barrier's been broken this whole time."
"WHAT?!"
************************************************************************
The sunlight flittered across the snow like little golden hued birds, sparkling in the light. The trees rustled softly from a light breeze, and the air was as chill as ever.
What a beautiful sight, ne?
Well, it just so happens that Silver was walking through this beautiful sight.
Hehe.
And it just so happened that she slipped and fell and slid all the way down the slope of the mountain, crashing softly against the wood paneling of another cabin, from which delighted yammering and several exasperated and desperate mutters could be heard.
"Ow."
^_^ Hehe. And then snow fell on top of her from one of the great pine trees that was 'blowing softly in the light breeze.'
"I swear, somebody is out to get me," she muttered, looking around, paranoid.
Oh, but why would you think a thing like that?
Getting up, she brushed off the snow, and knocked on the door to ask for directions to the hotel. This was, after all, a really big resort. And to her surprise, who should come to answer her beckons?
Why, Fluffy-sama of course.
They stared at each other for a full minute, only faintly aware of the hyperactive destruction caused by a certain little girl who had eaten some chocolate.
"FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted, pouncing on the white-haired bishie.
-_-;; You can guess where that went. I really didn't want to stay and see them acting all lovey-dovey.
************************************************************************
At the gym, everybody had crowded as far away from Hojo as they could get. Souta was desperately wishing that he had stayed with his mom, and Shippo was wishing that he was with Kagome. Sango and Miroku had resumed making out, so now everyone was basically crowding away from both them AND Hojo. Is it just me, or is the air too hot in here?
All of a
sudden two more people stumbled through the door of
the gym. They looked at Sango and Miroku's making out.
"I think this building is taken, Kindra," the man said.
"Damn," Replied Kindra, "let's go find somewhere else,
Elrohir."
And that, my friends, is what we in the fan fic business like to call a cameo.
************************************************************************
Wandering randomly through the forest, the Gundam Wing boys were STILL lost.
"Oh, the ants go marching one by one, hurrah! Hurrah!" sung Duo.
"Maxwell! Quit that idiotic singing of yours!" ordered Wufei, glaring venomously at said teen.
"^_^* Okay Wu-man. Right-O then."
"So, Heero, where did Merea say that these other characters were?" asked Quatre.
"She grouped them together," Heero answered/grunted.
"So...where are they grouped?" he pressed.
"..."
"Heero, please tell me that you remembered to at least get THAT information from her!"
"..."
"Oh for the love of Allah! This situation is starting to get on my nerves!" Quatre pouted.
"Hey Quat, don't worry, once we finish this, we'll get some cocoa for ya, my treat!" Duo happily declared.
"Really? With the mini-marshmallows on top too?"
"Yep!"
"Then let's get this job finished!"
"Hey Quat-man, I gotta question," asked Duo.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Does Trowa...talk?"
Facefault.
"OF COURSE HE DOES!!!"
"///_^" ← Trowa.
"Uh...I mean, he probably does. I don't really know..."
"///_-*"
"Oookay, now that's starting to get frightening....."
Thankfully, their idiotic rambling was interrupted by a sudden flash of light, and WHAM!! They were transported somewhere else.
Hmmm...I
wonder where?
************************************************************************
Okay guys. Short chap, but a filler. Expect the next one the DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Got that? I'm tellin' ya, you'll DEFINITELY get the next one then. ^_^ On that day I have no homework! *happy dance*
Sorry about my REALLY long time to update. School started...and well...let's just say, my dad's learned how to use the computer.
*sweatdrop* And now, I can't get him offa it.
Having one computer in this whole house really bites.
I promise I won't take that long to update ever again! I'm gettin' in the swing o' things now, and can now find time to write!
