"Um... I," InuYasha struggled to find an answer just as Kaede burst in from the back room.
"InuYasha, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, I have a rather interesting proposition for you, please join me in the back room."
"Gladly old woman," InuYasha happily head towards the back room, subconsciously thanking any god out there for the interruption. Hell, he would have been thankful for any kind of disruption, even Kouga, but this one was defiantly better.
"Um, Kaede what about..." Kagome trailed off, as she gestured to the entire bar patrons who looked rather confused now.
"Oh, right... ahem," Kaede cleared her thought before yelling, "The bar is closed! Everybody OUT!"
"Ah!" there was mass hysteria as the bar was completely empty of all civilians in a matter of seconds.
"There, now please follow me," Kaede said, smiling pleasantly as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.
"Damn, she can be pretty scary sometimes, huh?" Kagome looked at Sango nervously, as they made their way to the back room.
"You have no idea."
"So, Kaede-Baba, why exactly did you call us back here? And in the middle of the all time favorite Karaoke night?" InuYasha said, each word dripping with sarcasm. (Hah! Personification! ^-^* Sorry, that's just what we're learning about in my English class, and let me tell you, it's boring as hell!)
"I have an interesting and exciting assignment for you, should you chose to except it," Kaede said, dimming the lights and turning on a slide projector, only achieving in making the scene look like a really cheesy scene from an old James Bond movie, "As you already know, our bar is losing money and customers by the week..."
"But Kaede, I've actually noticed an increase in our business lately," Sango said, looking quizzically at the older woman.
"And if we do have a decrease, I bet I know why," Miroku snickered to Kagome, only to receive a resounding whack on the head.
"Silence! I say we need a new theme! Something to draw in more people!" Kaede said, glaring at the employees, who looked utterly confused, "We need...!"
"Strippers!" Miroku yelled, punching a hand up in the air, only to be punched in the face on both sides.
"I refuse to work in an exotic night club!" Kagome yelled indignantly, unconsciously crossing her arms over her chest rather tightly.
"No! We need something like this!" Kaede pushed her slide clicker(whatever that thing is called) and brought up a picture of girls dancing on a bar covered in flames.
"Wow!" Sango looked in awe at the picture, as did Kagome.
"Are those B... Uh, I mean, I wonder how they don't get burned," Miroku quickly changed his word choice, deciding against mentioning the multiple colored bras that were hanging from the ceiling in the picture.
"So, you want Kagome and Sango to start dancing on a flaming bar?" InuYasha said, smirking, "that ought to be an interesting sight."
"And perhaps, even some of these," Kaede clicked again and brought up a picture of shirtless men singing karaoke and serving drinks.
"Hey InuYasha, you were half way there," Miroku chuckled; wisely dodging the punch and watching the girls drool undignified at the image.
"Alright," InuYasha grabbed the clicker and turned to a blank slide, despite the protests of the girls, "what is the point behind all this baba?"
"I want you all to go to Las Vegas, Nevada," Kaede said, retrieving her clicker back and turning to a picture of the strip at night.
"Wow! That's so pretty!" Kagome marveled.
"Why?" Miroku asked, "I mean, I would personally love to visit the sin capital of the world, but their must be a catch."
"It's in the states, isn't that catch enough," InuYasha growled, "I refuse to go; you said we had a choice, right?"
"Yes, if you chose to be fired that is," Kaede nodded, ignoring the shocked sound followed by a low growl coming from InuYasha's direction, "I want you all to visit the various bars and gather information on how to improve our own. I have already purchased your tickets and made reservations for you to stay in the Excalibur. You will leave tomorrow morning."
"WHAT!?"
"Kaede! This is so short notice! We still have to pack and...!"
"Well, than I suggest you get you rears in gear, you have the rest of the night off. Report to me once you reach your hotel," Kaede said, as she ushered them out the door, "Good luck, you are dismissed.
"That stupid old hag!" InuYasha growled, kicking the now firmly shut and locked door to the bar, "just who does she think she is anyways!?"
"She thinks she is our boss, and she's not to far off, now is she?" Miroku said, as they started to walk to their apartment building, "Besides, this could be a lot of fun!"
"Yeah, I mean, how often to you get to go to Viva Las Vegas, casino capital of the world!?" Sango said, enthusiastically, agreeing with Miroku again.
"Come on InuYasha, at least you don't have to worry about going an the date with me," Kagome said meekly, a slight note of disappointment in her voice.
"...yeah..." InuYasha said breezily.
"So, what time do we have to be at the airport tomorrow?" Miroku asked, as they all piled into the elevator.
"The ticket says 5:00 am..."
"5:00 AM!?"
"See you tomorrow Sango!" Kagome yelled out, as they all rushed into their apartments to start packing.
"Yeah, O' Dark Thirty!" Sango Yelled back, just as the doors all slammed simultaneously.
"So InuYasha, what do you think I should pack to wear?" Kagome asked, as they stood in InuYasha's closet, sifting through the racks. (Well, I did not mention this before, partially because I do not like going into major details, because descriptions just clutter the story and mine is cluttered enough as it is. But anyways, InuYasha has a long walk in closet with two sides, which has Kagome's clothes on one side and InuYasha's on the other, kay?)
"I don't know clothes?" InuYasha guessed half-heartedly, as he grabbed a bunch of random jeans and shirts and walking out into his bedroom to deposit them in his suitcase.
"Well, obviously," Kagome said, taking more care in her selection, before joining InuYasha in the other room, "What I meant to say is, do you think I should pack anything formal."
"You know what, whatever floats your boat Kagome," InuYasha said, turning and looking pointedly at Kagome, "If you want to pack an evening gown, whatever."
"Who said anything about an evening gown!?" Kagome said, exasperated, following InuYasha back into the closet, "I was just thinking I should pack something a little nicer than jeans. Like a dress maybe?"
"A dress..." InuYasha tried to visualize Kagome in a dress, and it turned out to be a short dress that showed off her legs more than necessary. InuYasha quickly shook that thought from his head, "whatever, pack a dress if you really think you'll need one."
"Jeez, you're a lot of help, aren't you?" Kagome said flatly, grabbing a dress from her rack and proceeding back into the room to pack it, only to find InuYasha lazing on the bed, suitcase closed.
"Hey!" Kagome yelled, hitting InuYasha in the leg, causing to sit up indignantly and glare at her, "there is plenty that you could be doing right now! What about the cosmetics and stuff!?"
"Sorry, I don't wear make-up like Miroku," InuYasha said flatly, flopping back down on the bed.
"Miroku wears... never mind. What I mean is Shampoo and Soap and stuff," Kagome said, pushing aside the visual picture of Miroku with make-up on.
"Duh bitch," InuYasha sat up again and ignored the flared look on Kagome's face, "If we pack it all now, how will we use them tomorrow morning?"
"Well, that's why you bathe now," Kagome said, making a mad rush for the bathroom with InuYasha not far behind, "Dibs on the bathroom!"
"Now, how am I supposed to collect my "cosmetics" with you hogging the bathroom!?" InuYasha yelled, putting emphasis on cosmetics."
"Just wait your turn, you should have thought of this earlier instead of lazing on your bed. I'll be out soon!" Kagome said from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, soon as in, an hour from now," InuYasha mumbled to himself as he returned to his previous position on the bed.
As predicted, Kagome emerged from the bathroom an hour later with a towel wrapped firmly around her body and her bath stuffs in her arms. Kagome was about to yell that the bathroom was free when she noticed that InuYasha was sleeping rather peacefully on his bed. Despite the fact that he looked so adorable lying there, this was Kagome's perfect chance for revenge for all InuYasha had done to her. Quietly putting her stuffs down on a chair by the bathroom door, Kagome tip-toed over to InuYasha's side and rung her hair out right over InuYasha's face, causing a sputtering Hanyou to come face to face with a laughing girl in a towel.
"Ha ha ha! You should have seen your face InuYasha, it was priceless!" Kagome said, holding her sides as she continued to laugh at the disgruntled Hanyou.
"Yeah, you just wait," InuYasha, growled as he passed Kagome on the way to the bathroom, trying to cover the blush that had risen to his face from a mixture of embarrassing and Kagome's obviously forgotten state of dress.
InuYasha exited the bathroom merely fifteen minutes later with all his bath stuffs in hand. Promptly depositing the stuffs into a small suitcase that was in the chair, InuYasha noticed that Kagome had taken the liberty of curling up on his bed and fallen asleep. InuYasha had half a mind to do the same thing Kagome had done to him and kick her ass out of his bed, but just seeing her sleeping there so peacefully brought and un-explainable sense of calm over him, and he pushed the thought aside. Along with the calm feeling, InuYasha also began to feel rather drowsy and the need for sleep was upon him faster than he could make it to bed. Turning off the light, InuYasha climbed into bed and tucked the covers securely around Kagome before he drifted off to sleep.
A/N: Jeez! Do I have a nack for getting them to sleep together or what!? Don't worry though, I've got more in store for them yet! He he he! Anyways! Sorry, a thousand apologies, Gomen Nasai! I have been having a hard time catching up with school again (now I know how Kagome feels, I even have an F in math like her!) I'll try harder to be more consistant, but I'm going on Vacation on Spring Break again, but this time with my band. I will try my hardest to post another chapter tomorrow, I would promise, but I don't want you all to be mad at me if I don't. So now, I must stop so I can do my laundry and go to bed. *Bows* Sorry and thank-you to all my readers. Please R&R!
