Kagome awoke to the rather annoying sound of an alarm clock. Never once did it occur to her that it was a little odd that she was in InuYasha's bed, she merely turned the alarm clock off, which currently read 3:00 am, and staggered into the bathroom to get dressed. After she emerged from the bathroom, she groggily walked over to InuYasha and started to poke him in the side.
"InuYasha, rise and dark. It's time to get up," Kagome said in a husky voice. After receiving no response, Kagome gave up and went into the kitchen to make some much-needed coffee.
InuYasha sniffed the air to be met with the smell of coffee. Not even bothering to look at the clock, InuYasha stumbled out of bed and made his way to the kitchen, only to be met with a rather odd and eye opening sight. Kagome stood in front of the coffee maker singing the AutoMatic remix by Hikaru Utada and shaking her butt in his general direction. InuYasha couldn't bring himself to say anything as he watched Kagome's rendition of dancing, which was rather explicit, well, to InuYasha anyways. Kagome wouldn't have noticed InuYasha's presence at all, but it just so happened she dropped a spoon and turned to pick it up, only to see a wide-eyed InuYasha.
"Wow, that's a new look for you Inu-Kun, trying to imitate a fish are you?" Kagome laughed, as she turned back to making her rendition of a fast breakfast, "I didn't think you would ever get up, but now that you are, you better hurry up, and we need to be at the airport in an hour and a half."
"Feh, I know that," InuYasha scoffed, while shaking his head to wake up, "Gimme some of that coffee."
"Hey, that's mine!" Kagome protested, as InuYasha took a swig out of her cup, "You are so rude! Go get dressed!"
"You're not my mother, so don't boss me around!" InuYasha yelled, "And anything in my house belongs to me!"
"Uh..." Kagome blushed at the fact that she lived in InuYasha's house, but brushed it aside deciding that InuYasha just wasn't fully functional.
"InuYasha! Watch out, a pedestrian!" Kagome yelled, as InuYasha just missed hitting the tenth pedestrian that morning.
"Yeah well, they shouldn't be in my way when I'm running late!" InuYasha yelled, glaring at Kagome.
"Oh, so now it's my fault that you slept in and took forever to get ready!?" Kagome yelled back, gripping the clothes hanger on the ceiling for dear life, "I told you that I tried to wake you and you didn't!"
"You should have tried harder!" InuYasha yelled, nearly hitting a tree.
"Let me OUT!" Kagome yelled as they finally reached the airport. She lunged out of the car and fell to her knees on the sidewalk, gasping for air. "Whoever gave you a license must be completely off his rocker!"
"Hey, we got here with time to spare, didn't we?" InuYasha said, grabbing the bags from the trunk and easily carrying them to the sliding automatic doors, "we're going to miss our flight if you don't get your ass off the ground!"
"Ah! Wait for me!" Kagome yelled, as she ran to catch up with the Hanyou, "So, what are you going to do about your appearance InuYash... Ahhh! You need to warn me before you just go and change like that you baka!"
"Excuse me, Kagome, what did I change in to?" Miroku turned around and looked at Kagome quizzically.
"Heike? Miroku... Sango? Hey, where did InuYasha go?" Kagome asked, confused how she lost InuYasha so fast and not quite sure when Sango and Miroku snuck up in front of her.
"He's right there Kagome," Sango said, pointing to InuYasha still in Hanyou form.
"Hey!" Kagome ran up to InuYasha and grabbed hold of his shirt, almost making him drop the bags, "Are you crazy!? You can't get on the plane like that!!"
"Your the one who crazy if you think I'm going to stay in human form for that long," InuYasha said annoyed, shrugging Kagome off and pushing his sunglasses up on his nose, "now lets go."
"I don't... get it..." Kagome said, as she watched InuYasha walk away towards baggage check.
"It's really quite simple Kagome," Miroku said, standing next to her, "Magic runs short and drains."
"What Hoshi is trying to say is that the spell InuYasha induces on himself takes youki ki, or magic, and if InuYasha were to wear that spell for such a long time, even he would get tired," Sango said, glaring at Miroku for only confusing Kagome more.
"Oh, I understand now," Kagome said, smiling at Sango gratefully, "Now lets go before InuYasha leaves us all in the dust!"
"Hey you pervert! Get out of my bag!" Sango yelled, as her bag was selected for a random check. Unfortunately, the first thing pulled out of her bag was a lacy black bra.
"So, who would've thought that Sango wore lacy black lingerie?" Miroku laughed, earning him the first smack of the day.
"Uh, sir!" A security guard stopped InuYasha before he could walk through the metal detector, only annoying InuYasha more than he already was, "I'll have to ask you to check that sword with baggage claim."
"This?" InuYasha asked, drawing the sword in front of the guards face, causing the guard to gulp nervously, "why, this piece of crap can't even cut paper, wet! However, I don't go anywhere without it."
"InuYasha!" Kagome yelled, smacking his hand down away from the petrified guard, "cut it out already! Just go get it checked!"
"Grrrr, bitch…" InuYasha growled, but complied as he headed to the nearest baggage claim.
"Ugh! That took way too long!" Sango yelled, glaring knives in the direction of the baggage check, as they made their way to the terminal.
"Oh, but it was worth it…" Miroku drooled, but quickly added at Sango's hostility, "For the safety of all the plane's occupants."
"I wonder how long InuYasha is going to be…" Kagome said, looking around for the raving Hanyou.
"Speak of the devil, literally, there he is," Miroku said, pointing to the grumbling Hanyou.
"Nice orange bag you got there… um… what exactly is it?" Kagome asked, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"It's my sword, they made me check it and carry it in this stupid sealed bag," InuYasha growled, holding up the cursed bag.
"What's you deal with that sword anyways?" Kagome asked, as they continued on to the gate, "I mean, you said it couldn't even cut wet paper, so why do you bother carrying it around?"
"If I can master it, I can wield the most powerful weapon imaginable and be the strongest ever," InuYasha said, striding away from the girls to catch up with Miroku.
"That's not the only reason he carries that thing around though," Sango said, gaining Kagome's attention and curiosity.
"Don't stop! Tell me more!" Kagome pressed.
"Okay. Well, since InuYasha is a half demon, he has the ability to change into a full demon if provoked by anger enough. If this happens, he loses control and al his human senses, like feelings, flee him. The sword that was given to him by his father keeps him in check," Sango concluded, as they reached their destination.
"Hey, over here ladies!" Miroku said from a corner of the waiting room, "Since we have about a half an hour before our flight leaves, lets play a friendly game of cards."
Friendly, was defiantly not the right word for it? After the gang had finished playing the seemingly safe game of crazy eights, Miroku had contracted one black eye and a bloody lip, InuYasha was sporting a bruised cheek and a rather nasty gash across his cheek. The girls carried no injuries but were surrounded by five broken seats and were bestowed the responsibility of getting the gang out of trouble.
"You guys went too far!" Kagome yelled, pulling InuYasha's forelock along as they made their way to the plane seats.
"You are never allowed to play cards ever again!" Sango yelled, as she hit Miroku repeatedly over the head.
"Let go of me wench!" InuYasha yelled, as he plopped his butt in the window seat, "Dibs on the window seat!"
"InuYasha!" Kagome huffed as she put her hands on her hips, but finally decided against it and just sat down.
"Hey, Sango, quit pushing, we just passed Kagome and InuYasha!" Miroku said, looking back to where Kagome and InuYasha sat in seats 11A and 11B.
"Kaede didn't get us seats together, we're way back here," Sango said, pushing Miroku into the seat 22A, and then sitting down next to him.
"Jeez, this won't be any fun, how will we play cards with them if we're all the way back here," Miroku whined.
Sango smacked Miroku on the head, "What did I say about cards!? Just sit tight and relax. Our flight is going to be very long."
"You know what I heard Sango," Miroku said, just as Sango was getting ready to put her head phones on, "I heard the Americans have this Airline where the girls have really huge breasts and they wear shirts that say "Hooters" on them. Why couldn't Kaede get us on that flight?"
Sango looked at Miroku flatly before smacking him in the head again and then proceeding to put her headphones on to the planes music.
Miroku looked at Sango hurt, but got over it quickly as the plane started to take of.
"Oh… My… God…." Kagome grabbed onto the arm rests so hard that her knuckles turned white, clamped her eyes shut tight, and hyperventilated.
"What's wrong with you, you have flown before haven't you?" InuYasha said, poking Kagome's arm in amusement.
"No, I haven't," Kagome squeaked, as she cracked a tear filled eye and glanced at InuYasha, "I'm just a little nervous."
"There's nothing to be worried about… unless the engine burns out… or the landing gear breaks… or we crash into another plane… or…"
The plane suddenly jarred, causing Kagome to latch herself onto InuYasha's arm crying, "Stop it! Shut-up already!"
"Kagome, I'm telling you it will be alright! Now let go of my arm!" InuYasha said, trying to pry Kagome's death grip from him.
Kagome shook her head and continued to cry and clutch InuYasha's arm for dear life. Finally, InuYasha just let Kagome hang onto his arm, and looked out the window. After the plane was fully in the air, Kagome felt calm enough to let go of InuYasha am, and thank him.
"Feh," was his only response, as he continued to look out the window.
~*~*~*~*~*~15 Hours Later~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ugh, finally of that terrible flight, Miroku grumbled, as he trudged out of the gate, with the rest following close behind him.
"I never thought I would get to see ground again!" Kagome squealed, as she jumped up and down and blew kisses at the ground.
"Yeah, I think my arm is about ready to fall off," InuYasha glared at Kagome, who was completely oblivious. Every time the plane experienced a slight amount of turbulence, Kagome would latch herself on to InuYasha and not let go until the turbulence passed and ten minutes after.
"That movie was the worst and most sappy flick I have ever been subjected to watching," Sango grouched, flinching at the remembrance of the sappy love triangle and non-existent plot. To make matters worse, every time the story heated up, Miroku would try to group Sango in one place or another. By that point in time, Miroku obtained over 15 bruises (that is one for every hour!).
"Someone kept stealing my peanuts!" InuYasha glared pointedly at Kagome as they made their way to the baggage claim.
"Hey! Don't look at me, I told you I was allergic!" Kagome yelled, as they started to look for their bags.
"Well, in any case," Miroku said finally, as they all stood with their baggage, "How are we supposed to get to our hotel?"
"Hey look!" Kagome pointed, "That guy is holding up a sign with our names on it!"
"Hey! They spelled my name wrong!" InuYasha yelled, as they made their way to where the man in the uniform and hat stood.
"Um… Konnechiwa Minna… Watashi… Bill?"
"Don't worry about it, we can all speak English," Kagome said, looking curiously at InuYasha, "At least I think so…"
"I can speak English too you idiot!" InuYasha yelled, as he picked up Kagome and his bags and following Bill.
"That is such a relief. I don't know much Japanese you know," Bill said, as he led them straight to his sleek black Limo.
"Oh wow! Kaede really out did herself this time!" Sango yelled, as she climbed into the limo, followed by Miroku, InuYasha, and Sango.
"Come now InuYasha, you should have let Kagome in first so she could be closer to Sango," Miroku said, looking at InuYasha, who merely glared at him.
"And have you feel Kagome up like you do Sango, I don't think so." InuYasha said, pulling Kagome with him to the opposite seats in the Limo.
"Uh, thanks…" Kagome blushed at InuYasha's actions, and received the usual "Feh" causing her to laugh.
"Here you have it, the famous Las Vegas strip!" Bill said from the front seat, as they started passing all the lit up hotels and casinos.
"Oh wow!" Sango said, sticking her head out the window, it's even better than the picture!"
"Uh… grrr!" Kagome got frustrated because there were no windows on her side. Opening the sunroof, she stood through the hole in the ceiling and gazed at the beautiful sight, "It's fantastic!"
"Huh?"
"Oh my,"
A couple of men whistled at Sango and Kagome when they were stopped at a red light, "Why don't you two lovely girls come perform at out strip club tonight?"
Miroku and InuYasha both sprung into action. Miroku joined Sango, pushing her into the door practically, and stuck his head out the window with her.
"You lecherous fiends need to learn to respect such a lovely lady, ho dare you say such things!" Miroku yelled, putting his hand on Sango's head and making her blush from his kind and un-lecherous action.
InuYasha however, was not as gentle and calm as Miroku. Climbing up through the window, InuYasha glared at the men on the street and practically crushed Kagome to his side, making her turn redder than a tomato.
"You fucking Bastards! If I catch you talking or touching Kagome I will rip you heads off!" InuYasha yelled, and used a gesture he learned from an American movie, called "Flipping someone off", as the car continued on its way.
"Look that must be our hotel!" Miroku pointed to Sango, considering he hadn't removed his head from Sango's window the entire ride.
InuYasha hadn't gotten down from his spot with Kagome on the roof either, "It looks like a toy castle," InuYasha commented, obviously not impressed.
"This is the Excalibur!" Bill exclaimed, as he walked around the Limo and opened the door for his passengers to step out, "The front desk is right through those doors and to your left. I hope you enjoy your stay in fabulous Las Vegas!"
"Yeah… great…" InuYasha grabbed the bags from the trunk, followed by Miroku, and followed the girls through the lobby to the front desk.
"Hi, excuse me, but we would like to check in," Kagome said to the woman at the front desk.
"Welcome to the Excalibur Kagome, here are your room keys," the woman said, but before she could continue, Kagome interrupted her.
"Hey wait! How did you know my name is Kagome?"
"Your driver called us ahead and told us to be expecting you, there is no problem. Now, to get to your rooms you need to take a left from here and pass through the casino. Keep walking until you hit a set of escalators and a set or nickel slots. Make a left here and continue straight until you hit an arch that leads to a set of glass doors and two towers. If you hit the food court then you have gone too far, you will need to turn back and follow the line of Black Jack tables. Once you find the area labeled tower two, take a right and enter the first bank of elevators on the left. Take those to the top floor to your room at the very end of the hall. Any questions?"
The group just gaped at the woman and shook their heads dumbly. After being informed of the restaurants and shops in the hotel, the group made their way through the monstrous casino.
"Miroku! I'm sure the lady said to take a left at the Black Jack tables!" Sango yelled, pointing to the left.
"And I'm sure she said to take a right at the nickel slots!" Miroku yelled back, pointing right.
"Hey look! That arch says Tower two!" Kagome exclaimed, pointing straight ahead.
"See, I told you she really said to take a left at the escalator!" InuYasha smirked triumphantly.
After the elevator ride that seemed to take forever, they finally reached the top floor and headed down the endless corridor until they hit their rooms 20001 and 20002. InuYasha followed Kagome into the room only to bump into her as she stopped in front of the door.
"Oi Wench! What's the deal!?" InuYasha yelled, as Kagome turned around to face him with a frantic look on her face.
"InuYasha… this is a, a , a, a…"
"Spit it out and move out of the way!" InuYasha said, pushing Kagome to the side, and stopping to gape at the room himself.
"A wedding suite!"
A/N: HA HA HA! I am soooo evil! Evil for this cliff hanger and evil because I haven't updated for a while. But, if you'll recall, I was on vacation with my band to California. It generally sucked. I had to be up and ready, on a bus, at six o'clock every morning to do stupid competitions and crap! Then! On the days that we got up early for a supposedly good reason, like going to Disney Land, it was hot as hell and crowded to boot! Anyways, I'm not in a very good mood, needless to say. I caught a cold from someone in band *cough cough weez* My friends bailed on me for my sleep over, one because she has "too much homework" and one because she got bitten by a spider! Arrrrg! Oh well… I think this chapter is slightly longer than the others… for you! Hope ya like, and R&R some idea's and good coments! Arigato Minna-san!
"InuYasha, rise and dark. It's time to get up," Kagome said in a husky voice. After receiving no response, Kagome gave up and went into the kitchen to make some much-needed coffee.
InuYasha sniffed the air to be met with the smell of coffee. Not even bothering to look at the clock, InuYasha stumbled out of bed and made his way to the kitchen, only to be met with a rather odd and eye opening sight. Kagome stood in front of the coffee maker singing the AutoMatic remix by Hikaru Utada and shaking her butt in his general direction. InuYasha couldn't bring himself to say anything as he watched Kagome's rendition of dancing, which was rather explicit, well, to InuYasha anyways. Kagome wouldn't have noticed InuYasha's presence at all, but it just so happened she dropped a spoon and turned to pick it up, only to see a wide-eyed InuYasha.
"Wow, that's a new look for you Inu-Kun, trying to imitate a fish are you?" Kagome laughed, as she turned back to making her rendition of a fast breakfast, "I didn't think you would ever get up, but now that you are, you better hurry up, and we need to be at the airport in an hour and a half."
"Feh, I know that," InuYasha scoffed, while shaking his head to wake up, "Gimme some of that coffee."
"Hey, that's mine!" Kagome protested, as InuYasha took a swig out of her cup, "You are so rude! Go get dressed!"
"You're not my mother, so don't boss me around!" InuYasha yelled, "And anything in my house belongs to me!"
"Uh..." Kagome blushed at the fact that she lived in InuYasha's house, but brushed it aside deciding that InuYasha just wasn't fully functional.
"InuYasha! Watch out, a pedestrian!" Kagome yelled, as InuYasha just missed hitting the tenth pedestrian that morning.
"Yeah well, they shouldn't be in my way when I'm running late!" InuYasha yelled, glaring at Kagome.
"Oh, so now it's my fault that you slept in and took forever to get ready!?" Kagome yelled back, gripping the clothes hanger on the ceiling for dear life, "I told you that I tried to wake you and you didn't!"
"You should have tried harder!" InuYasha yelled, nearly hitting a tree.
"Let me OUT!" Kagome yelled as they finally reached the airport. She lunged out of the car and fell to her knees on the sidewalk, gasping for air. "Whoever gave you a license must be completely off his rocker!"
"Hey, we got here with time to spare, didn't we?" InuYasha said, grabbing the bags from the trunk and easily carrying them to the sliding automatic doors, "we're going to miss our flight if you don't get your ass off the ground!"
"Ah! Wait for me!" Kagome yelled, as she ran to catch up with the Hanyou, "So, what are you going to do about your appearance InuYash... Ahhh! You need to warn me before you just go and change like that you baka!"
"Excuse me, Kagome, what did I change in to?" Miroku turned around and looked at Kagome quizzically.
"Heike? Miroku... Sango? Hey, where did InuYasha go?" Kagome asked, confused how she lost InuYasha so fast and not quite sure when Sango and Miroku snuck up in front of her.

"Look that must be our hotel!" Miroku pointed to Sango, considering he hadn't removed his head from Sango's window the entire ride.
InuYasha hadn't gotten down from his spot with Kagome on the roof either, "It looks like a toy castle," InuYasha commented, obviously not impressed.
"This is the Excalibur!" Bill exclaimed, as he walked around the Limo and opened the door for his passengers to step out, "The front desk is right through those doors and to your left. I hope you enjoy your stay in fabulous Las Vegas!"
"Yeah… great…" InuYasha grabbed the bags from the trunk, followed by Miroku, and followed the girls through the lobby to the front desk.
"Hi, excuse me, but we would like to check in," Kagome said to the woman at the front desk.
"Welcome to the Excalibur Kagome, here are your room keys," the woman said, but before she could continue, Kagome interrupted her.
"Hey wait! How did you know my name is Kagome?"
"Your driver called us ahead and told us to be expecting you, there is no problem. Now, to get to your rooms you need to take a left from here and pass through the casino. Keep walking until you hit a set of escalators and a set or nickel slots. Make a left here and continue straight until you hit an arch that leads to a set of glass doors and two towers. If you hit the food court then you have gone too far, you will need to turn back and follow the line of Black Jack tables. Once you find the area labeled tower two, take a right and enter the first bank of elevators on the left. Take those to the top floor to your room at the very end of the hall. Any questions?"
The group just gaped at the woman and shook their heads dumbly. After being informed of the restaurants and shops in the hotel, the group made their way through the monstrous casino.
"Miroku! I'm sure the lady said to take a left at the Black Jack tables!" Sango yelled, pointing to the left.
"And I'm sure she said to take a right at the nickel slots!" Miroku yelled back, pointing right.
"Hey look! That arch says Tower two!" Kagome exclaimed, pointing straight ahead.
"See, I told you she really said to take a left at the escalator!" InuYasha smirked triumphantly.
After the elevator ride that seemed to take forever, they finally reached the top floor and headed down the endless corridor until they hit their rooms 20001 and 20002. InuYasha followed Kagome into the room only to bump into her as she stopped in front of the door.
"Oi Wench! What's the deal!?" InuYasha yelled, as Kagome turned around to face him with a frantic look on her face.
"InuYasha… this is a, a , a, a…"
"Spit it out and move out of the way!" InuYasha said, pushing Kagome to the side, and stopping to gape at the room himself.
"A wedding suite!"
A/N: HA HA HA! I am soooo evil! Evil for this cliff hanger and evil because I haven't updated for a while. But, if you'll recall, I was on vacation with my band to California. It generally sucked. I had to be up and ready, on a bus, at six o'clock every morning to do stupid competitions and crap! Then! On the days that we got up early for a supposedly good reason, like going to Disney Land, it was hot as hell and crowded to boot! Anyways, I'm not in a very good mood, needless to say. I caught a cold from someone in band *cough cough weez* My friends bailed on me for my sleep over, one because she has "too much homework" and one because she got bitten by a spider! Arrrrg! Oh well… I think this chapter is slightly longer than the others… for you! Hope ya like, and R&R some idea's and good coments! Arigato Minna-san!
