"What the hell is that old bat trying to pull!?" InuYasha yelled, dropping
the bags in front of the door and marching over to the bedside table where
the telephone was, "I'm gonna call the front desk and straighten this whole
thing out!"
Just as InuYasha was about to pick up the receiver, the phone started to ring. Shooting a glance at Kagome, who looked just as confused and dazed, if not more, than he was, InuYasha picked up the phone uncertainly and answered with the very informal, "Yeah?"
"InuYasha, glad to hear you made it safely, how was your flight?"
"Oh, you know it sucked royally and. Hey wait a minute! KAEDE! WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THESE ROOMS!?" InuYasha barked into the phone, glaring daggers and half expecting the kooky old lady on the other end to see it.
"Calm down InuYasha, I got the best rate for these rooms compared to the others," Kaede said calmly, paying no heed to InuYasha's persistent growling.
"Uh, hold on a sec." InuYasha placed the phone down on the table and closed his eyes. Kagome watched curiously, as he slowly reverted to his human form and picked up the phone again, "alright, now you were saying?"
"I got a better deal on these wedding suits because I simply told them newly weds would be staying in the rooms shortly after they arrived," Kaede said, explaining in an annoyingly calm tone.
"So you told them that Kagome and I were newly weds!? And the same for Miroku and Sango!?" InuYasha yelled, glancing over in Kagome's direction as she thudded to the ground in utter surprise.
"No, I didn't tell them you were newly weds," Kaede said, noting the obvious sigh of relief from InuYasha, "I told them you were planning on getting married in their chapel!"
"You did WHAT!?" InuYasha yelled before he dropped the phone and fainted, quite out of character.
"InuYasha, are you alright? What's wrong with you?" Kagome said, stepping over the dazed Hanyou on the floor, and reaching to grab the receiver, "Kaede, what did you say to InuYasha that made him react like that?"
"Nothing really, just that you are expected to be married at the hotels chapel in two days," Kaede said calmly, receiving a similar reaction from Kagome.
Pissed to no end, InuYasha stood up and gripped the phone so tightly that Kagome was afraid it would break, "Listen you old hag! I refuse to get married to Kagome!" InuYasha yelled, missing Kagome's slightly hurt expression, "I am going to march straight down to the front desk and tell the people that this is all one huge mistake!"
"I am afraid that you cannot do that, InuYasha," Kaede said, not missing the menacing growl coming from InuYasha, "You see, the only reason I was granted such a good deal on these rooms was the fact that I told the hotel that you would be getting married in their chapel. So you see, you must go through with it."
"Grrr! Fine then! Just as long as you know that it will be completely fake and unreal!" InuYasha growled, receiving a shocked look from Kagome, "But I refuse to stay in the same room as Kagome. I will stay in one room with Miroku and Kagome and Sango will share a room."
"I am afraid that is quite impossible as well," Kaede said, noting another of InuYasha's furious growls, "If the maids that clean the rooms were to find women items all in one room and men items in the other, they might become suspicious and then the plan would be up. You would be homeless for a full week and a half," Kaede finished, waiting.
". you are really asking for it old hag." InuYasha growled before he slammed the receiver down and headed over to where Kagome sat, looking out the window.
"So, what's the plan?" Kagome said, not bothering to look at InuYasha as he sat down in a chair opposite her.
".We have no choice, unless we can somehow get another hotel room for cheaper than Kaede got," InuYasha said. Looking through the hotel guide book, looking for cheaper rates.
"Don't bother, I already looked," Kagome said, looking at InuYasha, "Apparently some major racing event is going on at a speedway not far from here. All the rooms for every hotel are occupied and they are all outrageously expensive. what if Sango and I shared a room and."
"That won't work, Kaede said they could find out and then we would be roomless." InuYasha said, throwing the book across the room, "we're basically shit out of luck I guess, and our "wedding" is in two days."
Kagome sighed as she rose to her feet and started heading for the door. She informed InuYasha she was going to inform Miroku and Sango of the situation and that InuYasha should unpack. Annoyed that he was being told what to do, InuYasha decided that he would explore the room instead.
Now that he was actually looking at the room in depth, it really was quite a nice room. The walls were covered with pictures of Western Castles and antique looking lights attatched to the walls.. The wall facing the out side consisted of full length windows that gave a great view of the twinkling lights of the strip. The bed, however, was a slight problem. It was only a queen sized bed and it was in the shape of a circle opposed to the standard rectangle. InuYasha scoffed at the poor excuse of a bed that looked like it could only house one human and the giant oval mirror looming directly over the bed.
There was absolutely no couch in sight in the room, so InuYasha had no other place to sleep but the bed or the floor. One round table was situated by the window with the two over stuffed wheelie chairs that Kagome and he had been sitting on moments ago situated on either side. In the other corner of the room by the window was hutch that held a microwave, refrigerator and a cabinet that held either liquor or food.
InuYasha's next destination was the bathrrom, which was a wonder all in itself. One whole side of the bathroom was one large counter and mirrors, complete with hair dryer, coffee maker, and those little convenience shampoos, soaps, and other little things. Across from the counters was a platform with stairs running all the way across made of marble. On one side of the platform was a heart shaped bath, and on the other side was circular shower. Even the toilet looked nice, with it's own little closed in area complete with a curtain to pull across and those cool little chains to flush.
Satisfied that he had seen enough of the room, InuYasha resolved in plopping down on the bed, which was actually quite comfortable, and turning on the flat screen plasma TV that was across from the bed. After flipping through all of the 10 channels they got, 5 of which were actually about the hotel, InuYasha just decided to watch the previews for movies that were rentable in the hotel room. Just as the preview for the Two Towers ended, Kagome walked back into the room, took one look at the bags still lying near the door and sighed.
"InuYasha, I thought I asked you to unpack!" Kagome said, exasperated.
"Yeah well, I don't have to if I don't want to, besides I had better stuff to do," InuYasha concluded, trying to look around Kagome's form, which stood right in his line of sight, "Kagome, your make a better wall than a window, move outta the way," InuYasha said, pushing Kagome to the side.
"InuYasha!" Kagome huffed, and then proceeded to turn off the TV, "Sango and Miroku said that they're hungry and ready for dinner. I read in the guide book that they have a buffet that's open until 10pm, so lets go eat."
"Humph, fine then, lets go."
"Where the hell is this damn buffet you were talking about Kagome!?" InuYasha yelled angrily, as they passed the same set of baccarat tables for the third time.
"I don't know, everybody keeps saying that it's that way to the left," Kagome said, pointing straight ahead of them.
"Yes well, I don't see anything that resembles a buffet Kagome-san," Miroku said, his gaze slipping to one of the women passing out drinks to the gamblers.
Sango shot Miroku a heated glance, and said louder than necessary, "Well, if somebody wasn't looking at the asses of skimpily dressed waitresses, maybe we would have found the place by now."
"Well, in any case, I'm not really all that hungry, oddly enough," Miroku coughed, looking away from Sango's glare, "Why don't we all enjoy the casino while we're down here?"
"You just want to gamble all your money away is all," InuYasha scoffed, then smirked, a determined look on his face, "I'm in for some gambling myself though."
"Oh great, the big tough men are going into "spend all till poverty stricken mode", this ought to be great," Sango said flatly, eyeing the two guys counting their money.
"Yeah, and the worse part is that we can't leave them alone down here either, seeing as how we only have one key per room, and you need a room key to get into the tower," Kagome sighed, walking over to the guys, Sango in tow, "Sango and I are going to look around for a bit, we'll meet you by the tower in about an hour. Is that okay?"
"No it's not alright!" InuYasha said, abruptly stopping his counting, "You two girls can't go anywhere alone because you might be hit on by some low scum bags."
At this point Kagome looked like her mouth might just hit the floor, while Sango only displayed a look of pure annoyance, saying, "You point is."
"The point is, we cannot allow you two to become the victims of an un worthy beings flattery," Miroku said, who had not looked up from his counting.
"If some bastard starts flirting with you, being the twippy girls that you are, you'll probably start to flirt back, than the jig could be up." InuYasha said, unknowingly shattering Kagome's short-lived hope, and returning to counting his money.
"Fine then, spend your money and lets get going, I don't want to be down here all night!" Sango raged, starting off in the direction of the Craps tables, remembering that's what Miroku wanted to play, with Miroku not to far behind.
"Well then, lets g-." Kagome was stopped in mid stride by a hand firm grasping her wrist, turning she realized it was InuYasha.
"I don't want to play Craps, I wan't to play poker, and the poker tables are thata way," InuYasha said, pointing in the opposite direction.
"B-but," Kagome tried to protest but was dragged off regardless by InuYasha.
A/N: Oh, I fell really Mega bad about all this! (sorry, I was playing Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete and Lemina talks like that) Anyways, the I really should have updated sooner but those darn pesky writers blocks keep hitting me in the face! I can truly feel for InuYasha gumi though, because you know, everything in the hotels is always through the casino and to the left! And what do you guys think of that wedding huh? Pretty crazy right!? More romantic situations are bound to pop up in the next chapter as the group explores the hotels. like the Venetian for example. anyone who's been to Las Vegas might know what I'm talking about. He he he. Anyways, I'll try to get a new chapter out, but I have to take the dreaded WASL next week. ugh. Jan e and r&r onegai!
