INUYASHA VERSION OF THE RING

Chapter Nine: Down to the TV Station; The Old Worn Rabbit

Disclaimer: I hate these things... ::sigh:: I don't own anything...

A/N: Okay, I believe it was Demon Exterminator Barbie that was asking which thing Sango meant by "Love me". You know, just love, like a great liking. Yeah.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Let's go on down to the TV station. Maybe the people there could figure it out. . ." Sango yawned sleepily.

"Okay, I guess. . ." Miroku responded sleepily.

..................

"Well. . .here we. . .are. . ." Sango yawned again. "At. . .the TV station. Oh, I wish I was in bed."

"Me too." Miroku agreed.

"You got the tape with you?"

"Uh . . .no. I thought YOU did."

"Oh, crap I returned it at Block Buster! . . . At least, I THINK I did. . ."

Miroku groaned pathetically.

"Oh, Sango, what am I gonna do with you . . . ?"

"Love me." Sango grinned.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Kagome yawned and stretched, looking where she was.

'Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm still at Miroku's. But . . . where IS everyone . . . ?' she wondered to herself.

She felt a shuffling below her, and turned on her side to see a sleeping, drooling hanyou, holding a stuffed rabbit doll in one arm. 'I gotta get THIS on CAMERA!' (A/N: Everyone, remember to get camera-HAPPY! =3 )

Kagome jumped to reach her knapsack and pulled out a Polaroid camera and snapped the picture of InuYasha sleeping with drool hanging from his chin, along with the ultra-special: plushie rabbit in hand! She grinned as the picture came out, and waited for it to develop.

As she was waiting for so, she threw off the spare covers Miroku lent her for the couch she slept on, and settled her bare feet on the carpeted floor, and investigated for Miroku and Sango. 'Let's see . . . first place they'd be . . . His bedroom!' She dashed to his room and threw the door open, before letting loose a pathetic sigh.

"Aw, they're not here . . . but where would they be . . . ?" she mumbled.

..................

Sango stopped her car outside Block Buster and ran inside to get back the tape as Miroku was left outside in the car, twiddling his fingers, and tenting them, boringly humming to himself.

..................

Kagome walked into the room that Sango had organized for herself. She had a bed in the corner, barely big enough for two, but, oh, what's this? Another bed pulls out from underneath it! (A/N: I have a bed like that. Tee-hee.)
Sango's wardrobe was arranged beside the bed and she had a clothes drawer by the window. Stuffed animals added to the decoration, and a pure- white collector's teddy bear sat in the middle of the untouched bed. Kagome couldn't resist and rummage through her best friend's odds and ends.

..................

"Got it!" Sango exclaimed, holding the tape in her palm.

"Great . . ." Miroku sighed, bored out of his mind.

.

Sango and Miroku walked inside the TV station and Miroku started asking one of the staff members about the tape. He put the tape inside one of their recording machines as Sango sat down in front of the screen, watching the tape, as she and Miroku both pressed the "RECORD" button at the same time. Sango blushed and pulled her hand to her lap, and tried to keep her eyes on the screen.

..................

"Oh, I never imagined Sango-chan would have THIS . . . !" Kagome chirped to herself as she held up the white teddy bear.

"What're you doing, Kagome? It's 6:15 in the morning, and you're ogling and caressing some stupid toy!"

Kagome looked over and saw InuYasha standing there at the door, a tired but disgusted look plastered on his face, and the old worn rabbit clutched in his hand.

"Look who's talking!" Kagome countered.

InuYasha froze and pitched the rabbit to the floor, kicking it under the door.

"What're you TALKING about, wench? I wasn't doing anything with a stuffed ANIMAL!"

"Oh, what-EVER!" Kagome scoffed.

InuYasha sniffed arrogantly.

The typical flirt action: Arguing.

..................

Sango took the tape out from the recording machine as the tape ended with the words "If you don't want to die . . ." glowing luminescently on the screen.

"Well, what now?" she mumbled.

"Dunno, beats me. Let's go back to my place and see if those two hotheads are up yet," Miroku murmured sleepily in response.

"Man, you're a wreck in the mornings!" Sango kidded as Miroku shot her a look.

..................

Sango watched Miroku unlock the door to the house and ran inside after him. It was always bitter cold in the mornings. She took off her coat and hung it on the rack. Miroku wondered into the kitchen and was digging through the refrigerator. Sango took off upstairs to her bedroom and reached the top of the staircase.

She turned the door knob and pushed the door open and was surprised to see . . .

Sango sweat-dropped. Kagome and InuYasha were tugging on the old worn rabbit on the floor.

"What are you two doing with that rabbit?" she questioned.

InuYasha threw the rabbit at Kagome and burst out offended.

"We weren't doing anything! At least, I wasn't! Not me! Nuh-uh, no way!"

Kagome scoffed and simply stated,

"He was sleeping with it."

"UH! Nuh-uh! I was—she—you—GUAH!"

Sango burst out laughing and rolled on the floor when Kagome showed her the picture of InuYasha asleep with the bunny she had taken.

"He's DROOLING! Oh my gosh! InuYasha! I never knew you DROOLED! AHAHAHAHAHA! Ow, my sides hurt! But it's so FUNNY! HAHAHAHAHA! Hahaha . . . heh heh . . . heh . . . ha . . . ha . . . Whoo . . ."

Kagome helped Sango up and the older girl wiped away a tear from laughing so much.

"My boyfriend drools. How sweet." Kagome giggled. InuYasha only growled.

"Why are you all laughing so much . . . ?" Miroku asked as he stepped in the bedroom, chewing on a croissant.

Kagome showed him InuYasha's famous picture and Miroku almost choked on his croissant as he looked at InuYasha, who was turning red in the face.

"WHY IS MY PICTURE SO DAMN FUNNY?? HUH? WHY DON'T YA TELL ME??" InuYasha growled.

Miroku only stared for a moment, and burst out laughing again.

"You were hugging that rabbit and drooling and Kagome got that picture of you and now we're looking at it and we're laughing and you're just sitting there getting all mad—Hahahaha!"

InuYasha "feh"d and stormed out from the room.

"Is it me, or did I just see InuYasha with a rain cloud over his head?" Kagome asked.

..................

Kagome walked in the living room and saw InuYasha recording the tape and sitting there watching it.

"InuYashaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" she cried. "Whyyyyyyyyyyyy areeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu recordingggggggggggggggggggggg itttttttttttttttttttt?"

Kagome leapt forward and pressed the "RECORD" button again.

"Why won't it stop recording . . . ?" she mumbled.

"Just sit here and watch it. You might as well." InuYasha said.

"Fine . . ." Kagome huffed, sitting cross-legged next to the hanyou. She gasped in surprise as he draped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him, so that she was practically sitting in his lap.

"I—InuYasha!" she could only manage to say.

"It's okay, Kagome. It's not like anyone's watching."

"It's okay, Kagome. It's not like anyone's watching . . . Ha, if only he knew . . ." Miroku mimicked his friend as he and Sango peered through a small hole in the wall—which InuYasha made when he got mad at Miroku one time—which made Sango release a small laugh.

"Oh, Miroku. You're something, you know that?"

"But what would you do without me, huh?"

"I dunno . . ." Sango leaned in to give him an innocent peck on the cheeks. "Mope around, perhaps?"

"Perhaps . . ."

"It still makes me mad that we haven't figured out by now how to find out a way to save ourselves . . ." Sango sighed.

"Sango, dear. It now just struck me. Did . . . did you happen to see yesterday a sign yesterday that showed a missing girl by the name Reiko Haruko?" Miroku queried.

"Reiko Haruko . . . I wonder if that was the girl that Kohaku was dating!"

"But didn't they say she died?"

"Yeah, but they weren't truly sure . . ."

So...how did ya like it? Hope ya did! The last part is kinda a twist, makes you think, right? Exactly what I am trying to do...Fool your innocent little minds! Muahaha! Uh...eh-heh...Uh, look! It's the review button! Push it...I said push it...! Please...? =3
