Cabin in the Rain. Anyone up for a Movie?




~ Hahahahah! You just can't stop laughing. The day went from fine, to bad, to worse, to incredibly horrible, to PERFECT! Your revenge seeking friend, who just loves torturing you, has humiliated you in public numerous times and then left you to fend for yourself in the middle of a strange city. Yet, it doesn't surprise you that after all she's done for you, and all you've done to her, you are still, and always will be, best friends. And here she is, with a broken down vehicle, in the middle of the highway, soaking wet and covered in mud, and you're the only one that had a cell phone. Bummer, it was in your purse she graciously left in the bellboy's care. Oh, and you have just begun tormenting 'him'. Though he has yet to notice it, he's not going to be feeling up to much today.... And you thought the world had turned its back on you. Guess not!~

I plastered on the most cheerful smile I had had in a long time as I stepped out of the car. Inuyasha was currently hiding inside Sango's car trying to get as far way from the spider's last location. Miroku was strolling over to a nervous Sango and a frightened Ayame with the most innocent of smiles. Kouga was... I sighed and leaned on his arm for support.... Helping me out of the car... I may not like him, no matter how good-looking he was, but it would've been rude to decline, ne? Plus it was raining... And it was slippery.

"Ohayo, Sango-chan," I said as I walked over to them with Kouga at my side. He just loved touching me... EEEEWWWWWWWWW! I think I saw Ayame... No, that couldn't be right... Was she jealous?

"Ohayo, Kagome-chan," Sango replied, stepping away from Miroku.

"What happened? The car break down?" I asked, getting ready to attack houshi for being such a persistent lecher. I would have if Kouga would let go of my arm.

"It ran out of fuel," she said, still backing away as Miroku inched closer.

"Miroku..." I growled. 'Ha! I can growl, too!'

"Nani?" He asked, looking over to me, pouting. Yes, it was cute, but that's not the point.

"Leave them alone," I scolded the man while releasing Kouga's grip on my arm. I searched for my phone in my purse, trying so hard not to smile when I saw the bottle my mother had slipped in there. Oh, yes, revenge is so sweet! I finally found my cell phone and tossed it to Miroku. "Call someone, okay? Just leave them alone."

"Like who?"

"I don't know! Is there someone at the hotel we're supposed to go to that is waiting for us?" I asked. I had no idea where we were going, nor did I care.

"We're going to a cabin," Kouga answered. "No one's there either."

'Oh, grea~at,' I thought. 'An empty cabin with them... With no one else around. Maybe world was trying to ruin my life.'

"Well then... Call your mom or something," I muttered. Anything to get him away from my friends. "Oh, yeah! Kouga-kun," I called sweetly, turning to face him. Ack! "Would you go and get some fuel for Sango-chan. I saw a gas can in the back," I said looking over to Inuyasha's car.

He grabbed my hands; my attention returned to the guitarist. Alright, major flash back here. Hands, Miroku, concert, Sango, children, groping, 'hentai', cracked-skulls. 'Oh, my,' I thought horrified. If he did something like that, I'd- I'd- I'd...... I don't know. Probably scream and run away. Let's see... The closest security blanket would be... Miroku. 'Oh, Kami-sama, why me?'

"Eh?" I mumbled.

"I'd do anything for my woman," he said cheerfully.

My eyes bulged as I had this uncontrollably need to gag myself. This guy had lost his mind. ''His' woman. I think not!'

"Eh?" Yeah, I know. Smart response, right?

"Let go of her, you wimpy wolf!" Inuyasha shouted from his hiding spot.

"What's it to ya, dogface?" Kouga sneered.

"Keh," he snorted, stepping out of the car. "I don't care about that! But, you're making me sick, drooling over her."

I bristled. 'What? I'm not good enough to have someone drool over,' I thought. 'Yeah, and Kikyo wasn't either.'

I glared at him with all my might, barely hearing the dull *THUD* from Sango's direction. 'Baka, he'll never learn.'

"You're just jealous," Kouga stated and hugged me to his side. I was done being polite. And I was soaked from the rain... Not in a good mood, if you hadn't already known.

***SMACK***


"Don't EVER call me YOUR woman! No one owns me," I said and stomped over to Inuyasha. I added a handprint to his face also, for the satisfaction of his dumbfounded look. "And that's for being a jerk!" Now it was time for Miroku. It turned to walk over to him and stopped. Spectators, again! 'Why me?' Drivers had actually stopped to stare at us!

I made my way over to Miroku, bopped him on the head, and took the keys. "Come on, Aya-chan. Be a friend and baby-sit for us Sango-chan. I'll get some gas for the car. Ja!"

They just stared as I dragged Ayame way and drove off in Inuyasha's car.... Right into the crowd of gawkers....

******


"Finally," I sighed contently. "No testosterone here!" I yelled, taking a long deep breath. "Just smell the air! Isn't it great!" I smiled, loving my man-free time.

We were currently driving down the highway in Sango's convertible and the seats were a little damp. The top had been open earlier. It was now pouring outside.

"Kagome-chan?" Ayame piped up, almost nervously. "What's going on?"

"Nani?"

"I mean, with you and..." She faded off.

"Kouga?" I asked. She nodded. Okay, now my male-free time was being taken up by have to talk about them. The world seemed to revolve around them. Well, one thing's for sure. If our world revolved around them, then theirs better revolve around us. "Nothing," I said. "Why?"

"Iie-no reason!" She stuttered. 'Uh-huh, yeah right!' She sighed. "He seemed to think so."

"He has his head in the clouds," I told her, bristling as I remembered that I'll-make-you-mine glint of his. The nerve! "He thinks that just because he helped me out, I owe him."

"Oh..."

"Aya-chan.... You like him, don't you?" Sango asked, looking over to her friend.

"Iie!" She yelled, blushing. She did, but we let her off at that. We knew the truth; that's all that mattered. "Oh! We're almost there," She said, smiling brightly.

Sango and I groaned. "Why?" We both whined. Ayame ignored us as she pulled up to the cabin. It was a large, wooden house, surrounded by forest. It was nice, actually. So, nature was the first thing on the list.... What next?

The guys were already there and had claimed their rooms. Interesting... 3 rooms and they had each chosen their own.

"And where the hell are we supposed to sleep?" I asked, getting a suggestive look from Kouga.

"Don't even think about it!" Wait, that wasn't me... I looked over to see Inuyasha glaring at Kouga.... Shouldn't he have said that to Miroku? He was thinking of sharing a room with all of us; I could tell by his 'heavenly' smile.

"I wasn't thinking anything..." Kouga said, turning his back to the group with a 'humph'.

"Umm..." Sango mumbled, shifting from one foot to the other. "How about you guys share a room and us girls share a room. The other can be for-"

"Couples?" Miroku asked excitedly.

"Iie. For our stuff," she finished disgustedly, glaring at the pouting man. "Besides, I really doubt anything of the sort will ever happen... Ever."

"You never know," Miroku said, smiling once again. "Anything's possible, my dear Sango."

"That will happen when pigs fly, cows meow, people come back from the dead, AND some girl falls through a well, transporting her to Sengoku Jidai, where she release a hanyou from a magic spell that was cast on him by her incarnate," Sango said with an expressionless face. (A/N: Gomen! I had to say it!)

"Eh?" I mumbled. How specific. "You've read one too many books, Sango- chan. Any~way.... Rooming arrangements!"

"Hmm... How about girls sleep in one room, Kouga has his own, and I share with Miroku," suggested Inuyasha. "I'm not sharing a room with 'him'!"

"Well?" I asked looking around the room. "Any objections?"

"Yeah!" Miroku yelled. "I want my own room, too..."

I sighed... This might take some time...

"Ah!" I cried, "I got it! How about we switch. Boys get the rooms one night; girls get it the next."

"WE GET THEM FIRST!" The boys yelled and ran for the rooms. Aren't they just the perfect little gentlemen!

"Kagome!"

"Nani?" I asked innocently, turning to my friends. They didn't seem to be very happy with my decision...

"And just WHERE are we supposed to sleep?" Sango asked, narrowing her eyes. That's when I saw the most shocking thing of my life.

"Oh Kami-sama! Sango-chan, your eye shadow," I screamed horrified. It wasn't there!

"I'm not falling for that," She said and asked once again, "Where are we sleeping tonight?"

"The living room, I guess... But, Sango-chan! You eye shadow is gone!" I told her again.

"Yeah, and you have magic powers," she sneered. "I get the couch. Aya- chan, you can have the other. Kagome gets the floor."

"Kagome?" I asked. What happened to the friendly -chan.

"Oh... Right! Kagome'-chan'," She said, and left.

"Sango-chan, your eye shadow-"

"Whatever... AAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" She screamed. Then cried, "IT'S GONE!" She stormed back into the room. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I did!" I said defensively. "Don't worry, I have some in my purse."

"Where is it?" she yelled running out of the room.

"In the car!" I screamed back, hoping she heard. The door slammed. Yup, she heard.

A few minutes went by... Wow, she took a long time...

"Hey, Kagome-chan," Ayame called from the kitchen.

"Huh?"

"Why don't we watch a movie or something?"

"Good idea. I'll see what's on," I said, reaching for the remote.

In a flash it was gone and three grown men stood in front of me fighting for control of the channel-switcher. Inuyasha elbowed Kouga, Miroku punched Kouga, Kouga ran, taking the controller with him. The others gave chase and I joined in. Surely they wouldn't hurt a girl... Physically at least.

After a while I got tired. They were fast! I really hated to do this, but Kouga had the remote and I wasn't going to be stuck watching something I didn't want to watch. "Kouga-kun," I called to the man holding the remote. He stopped and looked over to me... So did everyone else. Rrrrrgghhh. "Could I see the remote?"

He thought for a second and walked over, handing me the remote and smiling.

"Iie! Iie, don't!" Inuyasha and Miroku yelled. "Iiiiiiiieeeee!"

"Arigato, Kouga-kun!" I said and plopped down on the couch to search for something good... Hmmm...

Drama-no

Romance-no way in hell

Comedy-possibly

Action/Adventure- maybe

Horror-most likely

"What sounds good, Aya-chan?" I called to her. She was in the kitchen with Sango, who had finally found my purse. By the smell of it, Ayame was busy cooking.

"What are the choices?" Sango asked.

"I was speaking to Aya-chan, not you. Umm.... The choices are Nightmare on Elms street, Halloween, Gone in 60 seconds(A/N: love that movie^_^), Blade, The Mummy, umm... If you want comedy... There's Shrek and Big Daddy(A/N: 2 of my fav's)," I said, scrolling through the choices. Nothing sounded particularly good right now.

"You always pick gaijin films, don't you?" Sango asked.

"So?"

Ayame sighed. "How about Halloween? Blade sounds good too..."

"What do ya think?" I asked the guys.

"Baseball-" Kouga

"Cartoons-" Inuyasha

"Gameshows-" Miroku

"NOT CHOICES!" I yelled. "Chose one of those!" I said pointing to the screen.

"Halloween..." Miroku.

"Blade..." Inuyasha.

"Halloween..." Kouga.

"Blade," Sango said as she entered the room.

"You're siding with HIM?" Miroku whined. "Sango-"

"Shush, houshi," Sango said, a little preoccupied. "That means 3- for Halloween and 2- for Blade... Kagome-chan?"

"Blade..."

"Urgh!" Everyone screamed in unison.

I scrolled through more choices. "How about..." 'Hmm, this is...' "Oh! This sounds good! It's called 'Relic'. Its about a monster that runs amok in a Chicago museum on the very day the institution is holding a glitzy reception. Naturally, the museum bosses want to go ahead with their public relations even as the creature is decapitating victims. It says Penelope Ann Miller plays a scientist on the run from the critter and Tom Sizemore is a cop looking for his cold-blooded killer. A blood-curdling experience; They're trapped in the building with the monster. What is it and how'd it get there are two questions that will constently plague your mind." I finished reading the description and turned back to the group. "It even has voice-overs."

"Sounds great!" Sango cheered. Miroku nodded and Inuyasha snorted. Kouga on the other hand, was terrified.

"Iie... Iie... Iie...." he kept mumbling, shaking his head slowly back and forth. He was about to faint! The man was horrified by the mere description of the story. And he acted all big and bad! Unbelievable. "IIE!" he screamed and ran to his room.

"Umm..." Ayame mumbled as she watched him run. "Should someone go check on him?"

"Nah!" we said as we sat down on the couch closest to the TV. Sango took the side furthest away from Miroku and I was stuck next to Inuyasha. I would have moved, but... If I did, Houshi would get to Sango or, I shuddered, me.

The begging was slow, but still interesting. I happened to feel sick when the police found the abandened boat in the Ocean, covered in human parts and blood with heads under the floorboards. (A/N: Oh, I sooooo love that movie! ^_^ True gore... sorta...) Ayame just happened to bring the food in at that point. Needless to say, I wasn't very hungry.

About half way through the movie, Inuyasha jumped up and ran for the bathroom. Hmmm... Wonder what's wrong... I smiled. He wouldn't be back for a while. I also realized Ayame had disappeared. Hmmm...

"Don't even try it," I hissed under my breath as Miroku inched closer. He sighed and returned to his spot.

And the movie went on....

"AAAAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" The thing was HIDEOUS! It reminded me of Behemoth off of FF games without any skin. It looked as if the creature was made up of all the essentials minus the major factor of COVERS... nothing held it together. EEEeeeeewww. Maybe Kouga had seen it before. He could have at least WARNED us!

I clung onto Inuyasha, again... Wait, when had he returned? Well, it had been a good half-hour. Ayame, thankful, wasn't there to see the Relic Behemoth. Sango grabbed me for dear life and Miroku screamed and hid behind the couch. Inuyasha turned his head away, hiding the sight by burying his face in my hair. It was kind of a strange position and it didn't take long before we all realized our reactions and how pathetic they were.

Inuyasha looked over to the TV and cough. Sango and Miroku left, fearing to make an even bigger fool of themselves. I sat there, continuing to hold on to Inuyasha's shirt, watching the screen with wide eyes. I was comfortable right where I was, snuggling into my life's ruin, and watching the most horrifying creature I'd ever seen, devour unsuspecting victims. I wasn't going to go ANYwhere alone...

Blade was soooo much better a choice.
