Awaken Sleeping Beauty!
~ Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch! That is what your mind has been screamming for the past.... Say,
what time is it? What day is it? Is it night? Where are you? Well, at least the cold's gone...
FINALLY! Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Hey, is that a light! ~
My head pounded and I winced at the light before my eyes. It was so bright! I lifted a hand
to block out the disturbance. That probably wasn't the best choice I've made. I found myself in a
bone-crushing embrace, smothering me...
'Mama...? Am I dreaming it again...? Iie,' I answered myself. These arms were not my
mothers, I could tell. It was a woman though.
Slowly sounds flooded my ears as my world came into focus. I heard some muffled cries
and a few whispers. All I saw were silhouettes, but I could tell that I was no longer in the cabin...
I was in the hospital.
"Kagome-chan!" came a muffled yell. The person holding me so tight loosened their grip- or
more like someone else pried them away from me. Most likely a nurse or doctor. My world came
back in pin-point view, one dot after another.
"Kagome! Are you alright? We were so worried!" Sango shouted. A few more voices
echoed her's. "You frightened us, fainting like that... What's wrong?"
I was almost able to see everyone clearly now. "I can't see or hear very well... Give me a
second," I mumbled, trying to sit up. A hand pressed me back to the bed.
"You shouldn't sit up yet," Inuyasha stated. I blinked a few times, turning my head to see
him.
"What happened?" I asked, closing my eyes in an attempt to clear my vision completely.
"You fainted," Ayame said. I looked to her, not certain why I was so surprised to see her or
why I felt sad at the sight of her. "After you walked away... I- I'm sorry, Kagome-chan," she
cried, throwing herself at me, wrapping her arms around my neck, weeping.
I was at a total loss. The only thing I remembered clearly was that I had woke up with a
cold... Other than that, I was drawing a blank. Well, at least I knew who hugged me earlier.
"Na-nani?"
"I should have believed you... I wasn't thinking clearly, I was mad... I'm sorry," she wailed. I
felt tears slide down my cheeks, startling me even more. I blinked away the water pooling in my
eyes.
"Ayame-chan, stop... I... I don't understand... What are you talking about?" I asked, looking
to Inuyasha for answers. Somehow, I knew that he knew what was going on. "Aya-chan, let go...
I can't breath."
She laughed and released her grip.
"Gomen ne... You don't remember?" she asked uncertainly. I shook my head. "Oh, I'll tell
you later then... Ah! I forgot to tell you. We called your brother yesterday, telling him about what
happened. Souta and Kohaku are coming to see you."
I smiled at the thought of seeing my brother again.... The smile didn't last as I replayed her
words again. "Y-yesterday! How long have I been here!?" I implored, sitting up bolt-right.
Inuyasha growled lightly. I layed back down.
"Three days," Miroku answered as he entered the room. "Gomen, I just heard from the
nurse..." I looked to the drummer with an accusing glare as I noticed the red handprint on his
cheek. He waved his hands in defense. "I didn't do anything. Sango hit me for no reason, again."
He grinned, understanding why. Sango remained unresponsive.
"Three days... But- that means you- we- you... Our times up... Why are you still here?" I
asked, looking at the band members. "You don't have to be with us anymore... Or did Sesshomaru
make you stay?"
"Why would I do something like that?" A cold voice wondered.
I jumped a good few feet off the bed. Sesshomaru sat in a chair in the furthest corner from
my bed. He was still in a business suit and had that same expressionless face, holding a cell phone
to his ear.
"Iie, Jaken. Hai. Iie. Jaken! That is enough!" He snapped the cell off, glaring at the absent
assistant.
"Y-you're here too?" I asked puzzledly, looking to Inuyasha. "Is this...?" Inuyasha silenced
me with a quick glance out the door, almost unnoticeable. His sister was in this hospital... "Well,
why are you still here? You don't have to put up with us anymore."
"We don't get rid of you until 12:00 tonight," Inuyasha chuckled. "Don't think I'm gonna
leave before I get to insult you one last time, do you?" I smiled.
"Guess not."
"Yo, Kagome," Kouga called.... Was he sleeping, or did he just not notice that I'd been
awake for the past... 15 minutes or so?
He walked to the side of my hospital bed, taking my hands in his again. Ayame looked at
me, mouthing 'I'm sorry for doubting you.' I remembered what happened now... She had totally
lost it because of this baka.
"Kouga-kun," I sighed through gritted teeth. "Onegai... Understand that I do NOT like you
like that. Open your eyes and look around... Remember, I am not Kikyo." That statement made
him drop my hands as if they'd been on fire. "I am not her... And I don't like you for more than a
friend, okay?" He nodded numbly. I smiled reassuringly looking to Ayame as I spoke. "But I think
that if you look around you, you'll find someone that does..."
A doctor entered the room, clearing his throat. "If you will acuse us, ladies, gentlemen, I
must speak with-" he flipped up a diagnostic form, scanning for the name, "- Ms. Higurashi."
They nodded and left silently. "I have some good news, Ms. Higurashi. What you have, it is a new
desease of sorts that we have just discovered the cure to. We only know of two others with this
desease and yours started to affect you later than the others."
"What is it?" I asked, looking to the door. Sango was watching so I gave her a thumbs-up.
"First, just to make absolutely certain that we have the correct information, I need to ask
you a question," he said, sitting on the bed's edge. "Is it true you have been in a coma before?" I
nodded.
"But that was because I was in a car accident," I told him.
"Hai, that is true. What you probably don't remember is that you were brought here for
treatment. That same day, we had two other patients here that also had slipped into an intense
sleeping state. In order to waken you, we used a catalyse of sorts to speed up the process... The
catalyse had not been previously tested. Your blood used it, then regected its resulting reaction.
However, the mixture did not exit the blood stream. Instead it settled in a certain spot in you. For
you, it was your viens located near your sinus areas.
"The catalyse would only react to contact with another virus, meaning, in your case, a cold,
flu, or anything concerning the sinus area would set off the remaining catalyse reaction. What was
ment to wake you up, would put you into a deep sleep- a coma," he said, looking me directly in
the eyes. "We didn't know that it had this affect. Only one of the patients had a reaction like
yours, so we didn't know. The other died the day after he woke up- in a car crash, that is. The
only problem is, in order to undo this, we need to inject another catalyse with an added
medication... This has only been tested on laboratory rats though."
By now, my head was spinning. All of this happened because of the crash over 14 years
ago. I hadn't thought about it before, but it was true that, until now, I hadn't been sick since I was
3...
"Who is the other one?" I asked. Inuyasha's younger sister was too young to have been given
the catalyse; she hadn't even been born yet.
"The other patient- the one that had a reaction- died many year's ago, but the catalyse did
not reside in her. It manifested itself in her child whom was born seven months later. The patient
had a deadly reaction to the catalyse, which the child was born immune to. She also is in this
hospital, but hasn't woke in over a month... We are not sure when she will awaken though," he
said, smiling. "Now, that information is classified, but I don't want you to feel alone... If you wish,
I shall take you to see her."
I smiled at the man. He was very kind. "I would like that, but I am afriad I cannot until my
brother arrives."
"Very well," he replied, nodding. "The procedure to rid you of the viral reactant, as I told
you, is to add another to your system... Would you try it for us?"
I thought a while. It was strange, the situation I found myself in. I was happy to have a
chance to help out in the medical world, but frightened of the results...
"Have you informed the other infected girl's family?"
"Iie... We have had problems with that family for some time now... They expect us to pay
them for research we did... We will inform them once she is awake," he said.
"Oh... I will be happy to help you as a test subject," I answered. "May I go to the lobby for
something to eat? I feel like walking a bit."
"That is fine. Just make sure to keep to the walls incase you feel faint again." He rose,
bowed slightly, then left... And on to questions!
"What did he say?"
"Are you okay?"
"He told you what's wrong, didn't he?"
"Wasn't he cute?"
"Is it bad?"
"Will you die?"
"WHAT DID HE SAY!?" They all asked at once. I sighed, raising to a sitting position, only
to have Inuyasha push me back.
"Chotto! He said I was fine," I yelled defensively, shoving his hand away. "I can even go to
the lobby... And that is presicely where I am going," I said, standing on my feet. I felt a cold
breeze blowing against my back... Hospital clothes are truly embarrassing. "KYA!!!! MY
CLOTHES! GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!"
The people flew from the room and the door slammed shut as a pair of pants and a shirt
were hurdled toward me. I caught them and checked to make sure no one was peeking.
***THUD***
I sighed, slipping on the outfit. Miroku didn't stand a chance...
******
The room grew silent. I had told them only half of the story. I needed an injection to a virus
caused by a previous hospital reaction. That was about all I said... And they just sat there,
speechless. So I left; they didn't notice.
I skipped down the hall, humming for all I was worth, feeling years younger. I found the
lobby with no problem, happily waiting in line for food. I don't like hospital food, but I was
starving!
The girl in front of me hummed the same tune as I was. That's when I realised what it was.
'A Feudal Fairytale'... Only I was repeating my trio's lyrics silently.
"The one that starts the journey,
Just so happens to be me
To gather the shards of a shattered jewel,
Once whole will set us free
From the torments of hatred,
The only life we know
With my new found friends and you,
Anyway and everywhere I will go
This is our journey,"
I loved it really, but that third verse... I loved it more, because it was what I wanted more
than anything, but couldn't say. I had forgiven him so long ago and fallen so fast. "This is our
journey," I whispered with a sad smile. "And it ends before it starts."
"What would you like, miss?" A woman asked, standing behind the counter.
"I will have a salad with ranch and a small glass of... Coke," I mumbled... Something made
me look behind me. Maybe it was the bond of blood...
"Oneechan!" Souta stood in the entrance, waving like crazy. He and Kohaku ran forward,
smiling. "Are you okay now? I was worried," he said, hugging me.... He really had been scared.
He never hugged me. I ruffled his hair and giggled as it fell back in place.
"How are you doing, oneechan?" Kohaku asked. He had started calling me sister when he
first met me, so it wasn't unusual. I grabbed the boy, not forgetting to ruffle his hair, and gave him
a quick hug.
"I'm fine... I think you should worry about Sango-chan, though," I said with a grin. "She's a
little love sick," I giggled. The boys just stared at me... BOYS as in too young to drive...
"Chotto!" I screamed in alarm. "How'd you get here?!"
"Some guy picked us up," Souta said. "Myouga-jiijii."
"Myouga-jiichan!?" I repeated.
"Wench, you're not pulling his hair for that," Inuyasha growled, causing me to leap back in
surprise, right into Sesshomaru. He just dusted his suit off, looking at Inuyasha with humor
dancing in his eyes.
"You pulled his hair?" he asked, chuckling. I payed no attention to them since I was
currently holding Sango back from killing Miroku as he felt-up another nurse.
"When did you all get here, anyway?" I asked, scanning the room. Kouga and Ayame were
the only ones missing.
"A few seconds ago," Sango hissed through gritting teeth, her voice dripping with venom.
Kohaku sidled up to his sister.
"So, he's the 'loverboy', huh? I totally approve," he smirked.
'Oh, no...'
"N-nani!?" Sango screeched, turning on her brother.
"Souta," I whispered, calling my brother to attention.
"Huh?"
"Go get that man over there... See him? By the blond?" I asked, pointing toward Miroku.
"Tell him to come over here... Say Kagome needs to speak with houshi." He looked at me for a
moment before striding over to the lech.
Sango currently stood over Kohaku, who was down on the ground with various sized lumps
portruding from his head, with a raised fist and satisfied smile. "Sango-chan, that was a little
uncalled for," I mumbled. "I think that you'll kill him before a demon has the chance to."
We laughed at that for a moment... Then her face turned bright red, veins poping up on her
forehead, and a brow twitching in annoyance.
"HENTAI!"
***SLAP***
***THUD***
***GRRR***
She stormed from the room, knocking over an elderly woman as she left, not even bothering
to apologize. Miroku held his abused skull that looked remarkable like Kohaku's. How he stayed
conscious, I am not sure.
"Houshi, that is not why I called you," I stated with a blank stare. He sweat-dropped,
rubbing the back of his neck nervously with an innocent/embarrased smile in place.
"It wasn't?"
"Iie."
"Oops..." He fell, unconscious from the beating... Ouch!
"Well, that was interesting," said Sesshomaru, staring at the fallen lecherous drummer.
"Seems to me that this group of girls is the perfect balance to our band..."
With that said, he left.
"Was that the 'collar-leash' thing again?" I asked Inuyasha, watching Sesshomaru's retreating
back.
"Hai..."
"'Collar-leash' thing?" Souta mumbled, watching doctors drag the beaten men away.
"Oneechan, what's the 'collar-leash' thing?"
I blushed briefly, turning away from my curious brother. "N-nothing... Chotto! Where's my
salad?" I asked the woman that had taken my order. She just looked at me, confused... Blondes,
go figure... (A/N: I AM BLOND!!! DON'T HURT ME PEOPLE!!!) "WHERE IS IT!?"
"I-I-" She stuttered. I leapt over the counter, proceding to beat the answer from her. I would
have succeded too if Inuyasha hadn't held me to the ground, stratling me.
"GET OFF OF ME!"
"CALM DOWN!"
I glared defiantly at the man, an evil grin spreading across my face... We were in a rather
suggestive position... He noticed my grin before anything else.
"Nani?"
"I'm calm... and you haven't moved," I stated nonchalantly. "It's just that I should be on
top... After all, I'm supposed to be the 'fan' here."
Realization presented itself quicker than it usually did. He blushed slightly before standing.
He stretched out an arm to help me up and I took it. With a little extra strength, I pulled, sending
him to the floor. I jumped up and made a dash for it, leaving my brother gaping at me while
Inuyasha cursed at the floor, some rather colorful phrases, too.
"KAGOME!!! GET BACK HERE!!!"
"NOT A CHANCE IN HELL, DOGBOY!!!"
I giggled happily as I skipped away. I began singing, for once; I didn't care... Life was
getting back to normal.
"I've been running in circles,
No exit around here
Scared that I'll never have,
A chance to be there
I've been running the circles,
In search of life's reason
And along the way I learned,
To have fun is nothing
Liking someone that likes another,
It can cut you up inside
But if you try hard enough,
Those feelings, you may hide
I've been in this place,
For quiet a while
And I've found my reason,
Wouldn't you know it
It's your smile,"
I sang, making sure that I didn't sing too loud. I was having a great day compared to the
past few years of my life. Sure I had fun then and maybe today did start in a hospital- which is one
of the most horrid places in my opinion- but it was a great day.
"Find her, damn it!" Sesshomaru's voice boomed. It came from a hallway to my left, so being
the kind of honest, kind, and considerate person I was, I eavesdropped- I mean listened- to the
angered man.
"H-hai," squeeked an elder doctor, backing away with multiple bows. "Right away, sir."
Sesshomaru glared at the man then stormed away in search for the girl he spoke of. The doctor
sulked in the opposite direction, past me, grumbling, "That bosy son of a bitch! He'll be lucky if
we ever tell him of the cure... Poor girl..."
I gasped. It wasn't possible, was it? Would they really withhold such information?
I decided it better to tell Sesshomaru or Inuyasha later... If I ran into Inuyasha now... I
shivered at the thought of encountering the seething singer. And I really didn't envy anyone to be
as unfortunate as to run into Sesshomaru at the moment.
'Let them cool of a little.'
I decided to sing another song in hopes of renewing my cheerful mood I had mere minutes
ago.
'New song, though,' I thought, racking my brains for a song I liked... Hmm... One from
FF? No, they're always sad... Jewel? She had a few good ones, but they were all sad, too... Ah!
Alanis! Morissette had some pretty good ones... Let's see, how about... Head Over Feet.
I went through the song silently, then sung it aloud.
"I had no choice but to hear you,
You stated your case, time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess,
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me,
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault,"
By this time, I had reached my room. I opened the door, pausing briefly to check if anyone
was there. Not seeing anyone, I walked to the window, looking out as the clouds rolled by. Time
for a new song... M2M... Not a real well known group, but their songs were great. Hmm... I just
couldn't remember the beginning. Oh well.
"You came right over
And looked in my eyes
You said those stories
Were rumors and lies
I wish I could believe in you
But I'm sorry to say he told me the truth
He is everything to me
And you're nowhere meant to be,
He's my baby,
Don't mess with my love
Take everything I own,
Oh just leave that boy alone
He's my baby, don' t mess with my,
Mess with my love-"
"I should be singing that," Ayame said calmly. I jumped, hitting my head on the glass.
"Ite! Aya-chan!" I yipped. "I-I didn't hear you come in."
She smiled, sitting down on the nearest chair. "I know," she giggled. "You really are a great
singer. No wonder why Sesshomaru felt threatened by you."
"Arigatou... Listen, Aya-chan; gomen ne. I didn't mean to upset you yesterday- I mean... The
other day," I said, looking to my hands. I felt strangely guilty.
"You shouldn't be the one apologizing," she said, leaning back with a satisfied smile. "Kouga
and I are on... better terms now." I gasped.
"Honto!? Great!" I cheered. I paused.
'Better terms?' "What do you mean?" She blushed slightly.
"He apologized for acting the way he did at my birthday party... and..."
"And?" I prompted. Her cheeks reddened.
"... held my hand..."
I sighed exasperatedly. It was such a big deal to her, I knew, but... COME ON! They held
hands!? No kissing? Of course, I wouldn't ruin her time, so I put my happy/joyiuos facade on.
"That's so great Aya-chan! I'm so happy for you!" I groaned inwardly... How could she be so
happy over such a thing... Wait, where was Kouga? "Aya- chan... Where is he?"
"Ah! I forgot! I have to meet him in the lobby! Gomen ne, gomen ne! Gotta go," yelled
Ayame as she scurried from the room, tripping over her own foot. She stood up, dusted herself
off, and ran again, tripping once more half way down the hall.
A giggle was immited from my hospital bed. Scratch that- two giggles. "Who- who's there?"
I asked, getting on me hands and knees. Two kids sat under it- a boy and a girl. The boy looked at
me with dark brown eyes, edging away. He had a strange orange tint to his hair and looked to be
9 or so. The girl was a young teen with dark hair and chocolate, dancing eyes.
"Are you hiding from someone?" The girl nodded. "Who?"
"The doctors," she said, holding the boy's hand.
"Why?" I asked, curious as to what was frightening the boy so much. I hated to see him
shake so.
"They..." She wouldn't say anymore.
"Where're your parents?" The boy sobbed and the girl looked to the floor. "W-what's
wrong?"
"Rin's parents are dead... They died a long time ago. His parents..." The girl paused, looking
at me with watering eyes. "His mother abandoned him here. If the doctors find him, he'll be sent
to the orphanage and if they find me..."
"You'll be taken?" She shook her head violently. "Then...?"
"Rin'll be put to sleep again," she stated. "Rin has a desease that they've never seen before
and if Rin gets too excited or too scared, Rin faints... Doctor's frighten Rin."
I gasped.
'This must be...!'
"Do you know a man named Miroku?" I asked. If I used her brothers' names, I feared she'd
get over excited. She looked at me for a while.
"Why?"
"Because he mentioned a little girl that had the same problem as I do," I told her.
"What problem?"
"I go into a coma for an unknown period of time." It was her turn to gasp.
"Sugoi... Hai, Rin knows Miroku. By the way, Rin's name is Rin. Rin Himitsu," she said,
extending an opened palm. I shook her hand, with a humored smile, in acknowledgement.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi," I replied.
"Konban wa, Kagome-chan," she smiled. "This here is Shippo." She pointed to the small boy
beside her.
"Konnichi wa, Shippo-chan."
The boy raised his head to look me in the eyes... He gave a faint smile. That's when I
noticed something rather peciluar about the situation... SHE was the one speeking. Hadn't
Inuyasha said she was mute?
As if on cue, the door was thrown open and a shaded body filled the doorway. "Found
you," Inuyasha chuckled evilly. He walked toward me with a mischivieus grin, a hand behind his
back, as I backed away.
"I-Inu- Ah! DOGBOY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I screeched in terror as his hand
grabbed me by the arm. He pulled me against him, holding me tightly in a warm embrace. My
mind totally cleared as my breath caught in my chest. Slowly he lowered his head, his grin
widened. My heart raced.
'Oh, Kami-sama... He's...'
And closer it came. I could feel his hot breath whisp against my lips. My mouth went dry.
This was definately something I didn't expect.
Then he stopped, his lips a bare inch from mine."You forgot your salad," he said, handing
me a small box. With that, he turned away and left, leaving me breathless, flustered, and pissed.
The jerk! Playing with my emotions like that! I guess the pissed showed up more than anything,
becuase Sesshomaru walked in just then, took one look at me, then hollared.
"INUYASHA! Get back here!" I heard a small 'eep' from Rin. It didn't sound frightened,
though. More like... Happy.
Inuyasha walked in nonchalantly, as if nothing happened. "Nani? I was just going to get
something to drink... A Coke, perhaps. Want one Kagome?"
I poured my soul into the glare I gave him. Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha yipped, sending
me into a giggle fit. I doubled over, laughing. I vaguely saw a hand from under the bed...
'That's right. I have to tell them...'
"Sesshomaru, Dogboy, I have something important to tell you both. You may want to sit
down," I said, sober in a second flat. They looked at each other uncertainly, then took my advise.
I sat on the window sill, looking to the sky for some peace of mind. "It's about this hospital... I
didn't tell the others, because I wanted to find something out for myself first...
"When I was in the car accident with my father, I was brought to this hospital in a deep
coma. They had been experimenting with a new catalyse that sped up the process of awakening,
or something like that. The catalyse did its work then was rejected by my blood. Instead of being
thrown out, it found a spot in my body to reside without interference..." I paused. A question now
wouldn't hurt, right? "Do you know if your sister has a heart illness?"
Both men jumped, surprised by the question. "Hai," the concurred. "A whole in her heart to
be precise," Sesshomaru added. I nodded.
"Well, the left over mixture took root in my sinus area... I haven't been sick in over 16 years-
with a cold or flu. When the cold entered my system, it triggered a reaction from the catalyse. Are
you still with me?" They nodded.
"Well, it seems that there were two other patients that were treated with the same catalyse.
One was a man who died two days later in a car crash. The other-"
"Was a woman with child," Sesshomaru ended. I nodded. "I remember Kiori coming here
after the audition and hai, I remember you, too."
"You catch on quickly," I replied, smiling. "Well, as I told you, they have found a way to
cure me... Rin is also cureable." Inuyasha and Rin gasped- though no one but I heard her.
Sesshomaru didn't react. "They weren't going to tell you either; after you yelled at the doctor. I
heard him mumble it to himself... Rin is awake as you know. The thing you don't know is that she
is with us right now."
Inuyasha lept from his chair, flipping it over. Sesshomaru's eyes widened a fraction, but little
else changed. "Rin, ka?" Inuyasha asked disbelievingly while he scanned the room.
"Hai," we answered. We meaning Rin and me.
She crawled out from under the bed with a meak smile. "Konnichi wa, Inu- chan,
Sess-chan." She ran toward her eldest brother, throwing herself into his arms. "I missed you so
much! Why didn't you come to see Rin sooner?"
"I tried to. You were gone though? Why'd you run?" He asked. I watched Inuyasha, seeing a
smile form on his lips. He was genuinly happy that his brother and sister were happy, however,
sadden by the fact that Rin hadn't payed him much attention.
Rin looked to the bed. "Shippo needed Rin. Rin is Shippo's only friend. Shippo's mom left
Shippo here and Shippo met Rin today."
'Sugoi,' I thought.
'She is a chatter box around him... Does she always speak like that?'
"Rin was scared," she continued the triade. "Rin thought Sess-chan wouldn't come for Rin.
Rin was wrong. Sess-chan always comes for Rin. Is Rin better now? Can Rin go home? Shut up
Rin. Is Rin going away? Can Rin play outside? Rin sees the clouds outside. Is it going to rain? Rin
can't go out in the rain, ne?"
"Rin," I called to her softly with a smile. "Do you want to go outside with me? I was just
planning on going for a walk. Shippo-chan can come with us- if he wants to, that is."
Shippo slowly poked his head out from under the bed. "Honto?" he asked meakly. I gave
him a reassuring smile and a quick nod. He gave a big smile in return and jumped out from under
the bed. In the blink of an eye, I held a small boy in my arms as he hugged my feircily.
"Mama!" he squeeled. My eyes must have bulged at that; Inuyasha pointed and laughed. I
glared at him. He only laughed harder, falling to the floor in a fit.
"Jerk!"
"Wench!"
"Baka!"
"Bitch!"
"Bastard!"
"Whore!"
My face was most likely a crimson now. I set the boy down. "Asshole!"
"Loser!" he countered. I was standing over him now as he pounded the floor, laughing.
"Coward!" I yelled, kicking him. He yelped before he retorted.
"Wanna-be!"
"Dimwit!" I replied, walking to my bedside table where I had found an interesting item in
earlier.
"Fangirl!"
"Dogboy!" I yelled with a dark grin. I pulled out a hat... With dog ears. Inuyasha saw them,
and crawled away in terror.
"Iie! Don't you dare!"
"Well, too bad for you," I said, easily catching up with him. I sat on his back to hold him
down. "I DO dare," I smirked, and plopped them into place. "And he sprouted dog ears!"
Inuyasha grumbled, then twisted, trying to flip over. I fell off with a thud. Rin giggled and
Shippo jeered at the pouting man.
"Where aren't you taking them off if you detest them so?" Miroku asked from the doorway. I
looked up to see the drummer with multiple bandages on his head and a black eye.
"You really should think before you act, houshi," Sesshomaru spoke in his oh- so careless
tone.
"She probably super-glued it," Inuyasha stated.
"That's what you get for calling my mom those things," Shippo said proudly, beeming at me.
"Mom?" Sango inquired as she walked into the room, slapping Miroku. "I see that my last
beating wasn't enough to kill you," she stated flatly.
"I did no such thing!" I shouted at the singer angerly.
"What didn't you do?" Kouga asked, joining the party with Ayame latched to his shoulder in
a day dream.
"Sugoi, everyone seems to show up at the same time."
"Oneechan, this is your room?"
"Who are they, oneechan?"
"Rin wants to go for a walk with Shippo and Shippo's new mom! Can Rin, Sess-chan?"
"What about us? Shippo? Rin? Who are they?"
"Ite, my head."
"What a mess..."
"Hai."
"My head."
"A walk?"
"Mama, don't bring HIM, onegai."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Hai!"
"What was that you little-!?"
"Inuyasha!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Sesshomaru-sama! I came as fast as I could!"
"My poor abused head."
"Someone called me."
"You swore earlier... I'm gonna tell!"
"Gomen nasai, Sesshomaru-sama!"
"Don't you dare, Souta! Sango-chan! I'm going to kill you! You went through my purse!?"
"You the HELL is HE!?"
"Just a little payback."
"You have a boyfriend, Oneechan!?"
"Can we go now?"
"I don't think that's payback... He's hot!"
"Iie!"
"Rin wants to go with Oneechan."
"Sesshomaru-sama-"
"Shut up!!!"
'Sugoi,' I thought as I looked at the crowd that had gathered.... Inuyasha, Sesshomaru,
Rin, Shippo, Sango, Miroku, Ayame, Kouga, Jaken, Souta, Kohaku, and Hiten- the mystery man
himself. Arg... Sango will regret that move. My purse was not a public display!
I sighed. A walk for three was enough. I wasn't going with all of them... Now how do I get
them off my back...? I didn't feel like dealing with all of them... This was going to take some time.
