Chapter Three

"Kagome! Hey...Kagome! Wake up!" A voice was calling Kagome...reaching
her mind through the dark layers of sleep.

"Mphmg..." was her reply as she rolled over and buried her face in the
pillow.

"Kagome, come on! Sesshoumaru wants us downstairs! NOW!" Kagome
scrunched her eyes tighter. There was that voice again. She wished it
would go away and leave her alone. The voice was silent for a minute,
which pleased Kagome. Then it sighed, and said, "Kagome...dinner!"
Food? Yeah....they had definitely said food. She sat straight up in
bed, and looked right into the face of Sango.

"Food? Let's go!" She raced down to the elevator, tapping her foot
impatiently, waiting for Sango. Finally she came, trying, but failing
horridly, to stifle her giggles. "What's so funny?" Kagome asked as the
doors slid closed and they started to descend.

"Someone here likes food....by the way...dinner's at 6..."

"Wait....but it's....four...."

"I know."


"...........You are so evil."

Sango and Kagome were the last to arrive in the conference room. It
looked more like a second lobby. There were cushy chairs and couches
spread out, and a blazing fireplace. Sango nudged Kagome in her ribs to
get her attention when Sesshoumaru started to speak. "As you all know we
will be starting the competition tomorrow. I hope each of you find your
rooms to your liking....yes Miss Sango?" Sesshoumaru looked thoroughly
annoyed when Sango waved her hand.

"Sir....I'm allergic to lilies."

"That's nice...but what does it have to do with this?"

"I'm staying in the Lily Suite."

"Ah. Ok...we'll get you settled after this. Anyway, as I was saying,
the competition starts at approximately 8:00 a.m. I expect all of you
out of bed and downstairs before then. Hidden cameras will follow your
every move throughout the contest. You are allowed free reign of the
hotel, but you may not leave the grounds. Family and friends may visit
every Sunday. No smoking and or drugs." Sesshoumaru paused, and stared
intently at Inuyasha....who glared right back. "Now, here are the
hotel's rules." The hotel sure had a heck of a lot more rules than the
show did, because Sesshoumaru droned on for hours. Towards the end even
he was distracted. He constantly cleared his throat and mumbled strings
of words that made absolutely no sense. Kagome however, was intent on
the ceiling fan once again. It was less intricate than the one in her
room, but it fascinated her just the same. It kept spinning,
and spinning,
and spinning,
and spinning,
until she found herself once again being lulled to sleep by the fan's
hum and Sesshoumaru's monotonous voice.

Kagome awoke with a start. The lobby was empty...except for Sango, who
was snoring lightly beside her. Kagome stretched, then looked at her
watch. It was 6:45. She'd missed dinner. Swearing lightly, she reached
for Sango's shoulder to wake her up. "You should just leave her."
Jumping at the sound of a voice in what she had thought was an empty
room, Kagome slowly turned around. There was Inuyasha, sprawled in a
chair, with his eyes closed. How could she have missed him? Especially
in that bright red outfit?

"Why do you say that?"

"'Cuz they've got a mini-fridge in each of the rooms...and she looked
pretty wiped before she fell asleep. And I have the feeling she's not
one of those people who like to be waken up right after falling
asleep..."

"True. Well.....help me carry her upstairs to my....our....room."

"Why....our...room?"

"Lilies remember?"

"Ah...."


~*~ ^_^ ~*~

"Geez! What does she eat? Bricks?" Kagome and Inuyasha set Sango down
on Kagome's bed. Well, more like they roughly dropped her onto the bed.
Inuyasha plopped down in an overstuffed pink chair, and Kagome sunk
down onto Kouga's bed. They sat in silence for awhile, until Kagome finally
unburdened her mind.

"Hey Inuyasha?"

"Hmm?"

"What's under your hat?" The question seemed to surprise him.

"Uh...my...head?" His hesitation didn't convince Kagome.

"No, I mean…why do you always wear that hat? Shippou said that there
was something under it!"

"That little brat......" Inuyasha growled. "He was sitting next to me
and Miroku on the plane. The whole ride he kept stealing my hat and
running down the isles. Needless to say the stewardesses weren't very
pleased....." He smiled a bit at the memory. Taking advantage of his
trip down memory lane.....Kagome reached over and snatched the hat off.
"Bitch! Give it back!!"

"They're so....ADORABLE!!" Two dog ears stood alert on the top of
Inuyasha's head, nestled in the mass of silvery hair. "Can I touch
them? Please?!"

"Uh......." Inuyasha was taken aback. He expected her to be
repulsed...or run away screaming. "Sure?" Kagome gave a squeal of
delight as she rubbed them. It felt...so...good.....Inuyasha's
eyelids drooped.

"Ack!" The screech caused Inuyasha and Kagome to jump. Turning around
they saw Sango prancing around the bed as a little mouse ran across the
covers. "Killitkillitkillitkillit!!!'"

"Inuaysha...either kill it or do something useful!!" Now Kagome was
dancing on top of Kouga's bed. Inuyasha dove onto the bed, succeeding
in getting trampled by Sango. The mouse scurried off the bed and onto a
flower-cover table.

Kouga came in twenty minutes later, and stopped in the door. Kagome and
Sango were yelling at the top of their lungs, "GO INUYASHA!! YOU CAN DO
IT!!" and Inuyasha was chasing after what seemed to be a small white
blur. Shaking his head and muttering about the strength of the hotel's
alcohol...he headed outside to clear his head.
