to say it? *Evil squirrels jump out of the brush, foaming at the mouth.*
I'll take that as a yes. Damn! I hate disclaimers! *Sighs* Oh well! *Clears

Chapter Seven
"Prayer Beads for Fluffy"
Every one was up all night thanks to many different things. InuYasha and Sesshomaru were hell-bent (Thanks to my friend for giving me the idea on the descriptive "hell-bent" phrase) on beating each other at the InuYasha P.S. game. Namida finally got fed up with it and walked behind the T.V.
"Die you jerk!" InuYasha said pushing random buttons on the controller. "Hey! What the hell happened?" He looked around with blood-shot eyes.
Namida leaned against the wooden T.V. frame swinging the plug in a circle. She stood up strait and gave them a death glare that seemed to be made of daggers. (Thanks to another friend for that phrase too!)
Sesshomaru dropped the controller like it was on fire. "We're done." He said.
"Good!" Namida snapped, she sounded a little mad yet triumphant at the same time.
"Truth or dare! Truth or dare!" Sorayu chanted.
"Why?!" Namida snapped, she was obviously tired and pissed off.
"Because I feel like it!" Sorayu said sticking her tongue out at Namida.
"What is truth or dare?" Shippo asked.
Sorayu smiled, evilly. "I'll show you!" She said and looked around for the victim of truth or dare. She spotted Yoru who looked deep in thought, and grinned. "Yoru, truth or dare?"
Yoru didn't hear her at first; her mind was still on the kiss that InuYasha had given her.
"Earth to Yoru!" Sorayu said.
Yoru looked up, "Huh?"
"Truth or dare?" Sorayu said a little annoyed.
Usually Yoru didn't play this game and hadn't paid enough attention to know what was going on. "Truth." She slapped her hands over her mouth. She should have paid more attention.
Sorayu smiled wickedly. "Whatcha' thinkin' about?"
"None of your business!" Yoru snapped. She didn't want them all to know, it was bad enough that Namida, Akaineko, and Sesshomaru knew.
"It's a truth. You have to tell!" Sorayu said seeing that she hit a soft spot.
InuYasha, Akaineko, Namida, and Sesshomaru figured out what she was thinking about, and it showed on their faces.
InuYasha walked out the door. "I need some fresh air." He claimed.
Kagome had to use the bathroom and Namida said she would show her where it was.
"Tell us!" Sorayu said.
"I'll say it if you don't!" Akaineko threatened.
"I-I was just thinking about..." Yoru started.
"About taking the InuYasha group to Hot Topic." Namida stood in the doorway.
Sorayu glared at her. "How do you know what she is thinkin'?!"
Namida smiled. "I'm psychic."
"Sorayu you know how those two always know what each other are thinking. They have that little telepathic connection." Shinsetsu said. It was true. They did say things at the same time and read each others mind a lot.
While everyone was looking at Namida, Yoru mouthed "Thank you, Namida."
Namida nodded to Yoru. "Let's all go to bed now. We can get up and go to Hot Topic in the morning."
"Fine with me." Sesshomaru had started to nod off.
"In case you haven't noticed, Namida, there are seventeen people here! Where are we going to sleep?" Suwaru asked.
"You can figure out where you all sleep. I'll be sleeping in my room if anyone needs me. Night." Namida said.
Sesshomaru transformed into a smaller version of his demon dog form, and trotted after Namida.
"We don't want to here anything from you two!" Shinsetsu joked.
"Same to you!" Namida said. "End of the bed, Fluffy!" She said to Sesshomaru.
InuYasha walked back inside and leaned against the wall.
Namida walked back out and beckoned for Yoru and Akaineko to follow her to the bathroom. "We're going to get extra blankets for everyone." She said.
They walked back out with enough blankets for everyone.
Namida dropped her pile on the floor. "Here." She turned and walked back towards her room. "I said 'end of the bed!' Not the middle! I need room to sleep too you know! Now close you eyes so I can put my pajamas on!"
A small dog whimper came from the room. Sesshomaru walked out and the door slammed behind him.
"What did the pup do to get himself kicked out already?" InuYasha joked.
Sesshomaru growled at him. He turned back to the closed door and barked.
"So?" Namida said from her room.
"She can understand him?" Sango said.
"I can." InuYasha and Yoru said at the same time.
"What did he say?" Yasai asked.
"'Let me back in. It's warm in there!'" InuYasha translated.
Sesshomaru started to whine and later howl.
Namida opened the door and glared at him. "Go away!" She said and slammed the door again.
Naraku was laughing horribly by now. "Haha....tia yukai got locked out of her room!" He said between laughs.
Sesshomaru smirked and trotted over to Naraku. He let out a small growl and then sat on his face.
Sam, the fat cat that Naraku befriended, walked over to Sesshomaru. She rubbed up against his leg acting all nice, she even purred. Sesshomaru cocked his head to one side. Sam's eyes suddenly flashed with anger and her ears flattened. A clawed paw of hers lashed out and slashed Sesshomaru's face.
Sesshomaru transformed back to his usual (hot) form, "Shit!" He said somewhat quietly.
Namida ran out from her room, "Who said it?"
They all pointed to Sesshomaru.
"He did it!" InuYasha said, glad that his brother was going to get smacked one good.
"Thank you, InuYasha. Remind me later to do horrible things to you with a CHEESE GRATER!" Sesshomaru snapped.
"Why did he say it anyway?" Namida asked a little calmer.
"You have a nice ass, Sesshomaru-kun." Naraku said stroking Sesshomaru's leg. (He's pretending to be gay! Much like my friend does.)
Sesshomaru stood up as fast as possible and scrambled behind Namida, who was even more pissed off now.
Namida looked at the claw marks that look like InuYasha could have made them. "What did you do to make my cat mad?"
"I was...umm... hurting Naraku." He said with a kind of guilty look on his face.
She sighed, "I've never seen Sam defend anyone like that. Come with me, I know where those cat's feet have been and believe me you are going to want those cuts cleaned." She grabbed Sesshomaru by the hair and dragged him to the bathroom. "Stupid dog." She muttered.
Akaineko, Yoru, and InuYasha looked at each other and the shot off after them.
"Ok explain to me again why you are putting painful stuff on my already painful cut?" Sesshomaru was actually holding still so Namida could clean the cut.
"It doesn't hurt that bad." She said.
"Have you ever had a scratch on your face that you had to clean with that stuff?!" He snapped.
"Yes." She pointed to an almost invisible red scar on the left side of her face. It had to be at least an inch long.
Sesshomaru held still and held his breath as Namida dabbed the cut. "It really doesn't hurt." He said a little amazed.
"Oh no." Namida said as she followed where the cut went.
"What?" Sesshomaru didn't like the tone in her voice.
"The cut goes over your eye." She said. "That might hurt."
He jumped back and looked at his reflection in the mirror. "Ok we're done." He tried to walk out the door.
"No!" Namida jumped in front of the door.
Akaineko and InuYasha had been watching the whole time.
"It would be easier if he had prayer beads." InuYasha said.
A light bulb came on in Yoru's head. She walked quickly to the room across the hall and dug through the drawers. She pulled out some prayer beads that Namida's family had bought a while ago. She walked back to the other room and tossed the prayer beads in the air. "Namida catch!"
Namida saw the prayer beads and grabbed them. She jumped on Sesshomaru and put the prayer beads around his neck. "Now if you don't be good, I'll make you fall on your face." She threatened.
He didn't want more pain on his face, but plummeting face first into the ground might hurt more than a little peroxide. "Fine, but be careful." He said.
"Good dog." She said and dabbed the rest of the cut except for the one over his eye.
Yoru, Akaineko, and InuYasha were all huddled around Namida and were watching intently.
"Ok. Now the hard part. The eye." Namida said.
Sesshomaru shuddered but didn't move.
Namida slowly set the cotton ball on the cut and Sesshomaru shot back with lightning speed.
"What the hell?!" He snapped.
"I'm almost done. Just hold still a little longer!" She begged.
"Hell no!" Sesshomaru lunged out the open door.
Yoru and Akaineko grabbed his legs while InuYasha got the armor off. Sesshomaru squirmed out from their hold and ran down the hallway.
"Damn. Now he will go outside and hide in a tree." Namida said.
They all walked out into the room where the others were to ask for help and found that they had all fallen asleep.
"Oh well. We can get him." Namida said.
The four walked out side to find Sesshomaru in a tree. Namida walked under the branch that he was in and looked up. For one thing he was easy to find because he is hiding in an almost dead tree and he is wearing white! Plus it was dark out and, need I say it? White!
"Get down here!" Namida shouted to him.
"I have chased the cat up that tree before. Don't make me come get you!" Yoru threatened.
"I could just hack the tree down." InuYasha said putting his hand on the tetsaiga hilt.
"He can't possibly stay in that tree all night. We can just sit at the base of it until he comes down. We can talk and annoy him." Akaineko said.
"Fine." Namida said. She looked up at Sesshomaru. "You get to listen to girl gossip, Fluffy."
The girls sat down at the base of the tree and InuYasha leaned on the other side.
"Do you remember that time that Shinsetsu streaked?" Akaineko said about an hour, well at least it felt like it, later.
"I draw the line at listening to that. I'm going inside. Night." InuYasha said.
"How far are you from finishing the Iditarod project we have in school?" Namida asked Yoru. Akaineko was in a different class and didn't have the assignment.
"Almost." Yoru said. "Hey, try husky commands on him. Gee or Hah. You know for sole calming spells."
Namida shrugged, "It's worth a shot." She stood up and walked under the branch he was in. "Hmm...How about....Gee!"
The prayer beads around Sesshomaru's neck glowed and he fell face first on Namida.
