Netiri: I'm back again! And guess who's with me! Raven!
Raven: Lucky me…
Netiri: You know you love it. Anyhoo, onto the chapter!
Disclaimer: Is this really necessary? We all know that it's utterly impossible for me to own Inu-Yasha. If you look at my drawings of him you'd see that. Well, I have gotten better…but I'm still not good enough! *runs away crying*
***********************
Someone's in the Doghouse
***********************
The boys returned to the hotel at about midnight. Little did they know that the girls had been waiting for them… Or had been trying at least.
The room was pitch black. Inu-Yasha opened the door slowly. A single trail of light from the street fluttered through the opening and landed on the beds. What surprised him was that on each bed was a sleeping girl.
"What the hell?!" Inu-Yasha growled.
"Be quiet, Inu-Yasha. It's not polite to wake the sleeping." Miroku said in a matter-of-factly voice.
Miroku opened the door a little further so he could enter the room. As he did a small bell rang, waking both the girls.
"And where exactly have you two been?" Kagome asked as she groggily rubbed her eyes.
"Yes, where?" Sango partially growled.
"What are you two?!" Miroku gasped. "Ninjas?!"
"Just smart, Miroku." Sango said with pointedly raised eyebrows.
Kagome flicked on the lights. She got out of the bed and walked over to the boys.
"Inu-Yasha, answer the question." she demanded.
"We were with Jason."
"Where with Jason?" Sango prodded.
"Where with Jason…?" Miroku gulped.
Sango was starting to get a pretty good idea of where the boys had been.
"You sound like you have a guilty conscience, Miroku." Kagome said, strolling over to him. Her arms were tucked behind her back and Miroku could have mistaken her for an interrogator if it hadn't been for her pink bunny pajamas.
"N-no I don't!" Miroku vehemently stated.
"That's not very convincing." Sango hissed, mimicking Kagome's pose in front of Miroku.
Inu-Yasha closed the door behind himself and pushed past Miroku.
"And just where do you think you're going, mister?" Kagome growled as she grabbed a lock of silver hair.
Inu-Yasha jerked back.
"That hurts you know!?" He shouted.
"Answer the question!" Kagome growled while yanking the hanyou's hair all the harder.
"To take a SHOWER! Do you wanna watch or something?!"
Kagome's stern interrogator look completely died at that point. Her hand dropped Inu-Yasha's hair and her face turned a very deep shade of mortified red. Miroku grabbed Sango's wrist and they both zoomed into the girls' room to give the pair a little 'private time' to discuss this little event. The door slammed shut leaving Kagome and Inu-Yasha alone in the room.
Inu-Yasha glared at the door with a look that might have burned holes right through it if it hadn't been for the fact that he was waiting for an explanation from Kagome.
"Well?" Inu-Yasha growled after a moment of uncomfortable silence.
"Well, what?" Kagome squeaked.
"Why wouldn't you let me go?"
"I-I wanted you to…TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, NIMROD!" Kagome's tone changed mid-sentence causing Inu-Yasha to flinch. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!"
"Feh!"
"Don't you 'Feh!' me you overgrown mutt!" Kagome shouted, pulling once again on those handy silver locks.
Inu-Yasha was taken aback. He must have really pissed Kagome off for her to call him an overgrown mutt and a nimrod. Suddenly he got an idea.
"I could ask you the same thing, missy." he hissed back at her through clenched teeth.
Inu-Yasha took a step closer to Kagome, growled and sniffed. She took a step back but refused to let go of his hair.
"W-what are you doing?"
Kagome was thoroughly baffled by this instant change in demeanor. He went from confused to angry to psycho puppy in a matter of three minutes!
"You smell like other men." Inu-Yasha growled, stepping closer and closing the gap between them.
"Why?" he growled sinisterly, bringing his face down to her level.
All Kagome could do was gulp. This was not the way her Inu-Yasha acted. She could only hope he'd let it go or that Sango or Miroku would come in the room just in the nick of time to save her.
"Well?"
****
In the other room, Sango and Miroku were actually watching TV and not eavesdropping for a change. Sango, for one, was very absorbed in the show and wasn't really paying much attention to Miroku. He, on the other hand, couldn't seem to keep his mind, or hands for that matter, off her.
After about the sixth time she felt something suspiciously warm moving to her butt, Sango snapped.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!?!?!?!"
Instead of spitting back some cute little comment about his hands having 'a mind of their own', Miroku asked a question.
"Sango, how long have we known each other?"
"Where did that come from?!" Sango cried.
Miroku stared into her eyes.
Sango stared back.
…
…
…
"Okay, okay, I give up! Just blink already, you're giving me a complex!"
Miroku grinned and blinked.
"Since pre-k I think. Why?"
"You seem so uncomfortable around me. It's really ironic when you think about it. I mean we've know each other for the largest part of our lives and yet you still push me away."
"Damn straight! You can't just come up behind someone and grope their ass! Maybe you didn't know this, but girls find it revolting!"
Miroku nodded his understanding.
Sango was about to lecture him further on the proper way to act around women when they heard Inu-Yasha growl maliciously Kagome scream. Both instantly jumped and ran to the dividing door, swung it open and stared at the scene on the bed.
Inu-Yasha was on top of Kagome and appeared to be clawing at her. Kagome was kicking and crying wildly underneath him. Her hands were trying to push him off but his superior strength and weight was way too much for her.
"I'll get you now, Kagome! You'll pay for seeing those other men!" he said with a playful edge in his voice.
Playful…?
"S-stop it Inu-Yasha! That tickles!"
Sango and Miroku looked at each other puzzled.
"Tickles?"
At second glance, they found the scene totally different. Inu-Yasha wasn't clawing at Kagome; he was tickling her. Kagome wasn't crying; she was laughing.
Then Inu-Yasha looked up and discovered that they had company.
"What the hell are you two doing here?!" he barked.
Miroku was the first to speak up. "Well, I sleep here so…"
"Not anymore." Inu-Yasha growled.
Everybody but Inu-Yasha looked confused at that statement.
"Inu-Yasha, what the hell are you talking about?" Kagome asked from underneath him. Then she realized her position. "And GET OFF ME!"
He blushed heavily and moved himself to the other side of the room.
"Like I was saying, we're not sleeping here anymore."
All three of the others demanded: "Explain!"
"Alright, alright, don't bite my head off! I ran into Sesshomaru and he said he bought me a condo down on the beach for while we were staying here. All this junk is connected with his job, so I don't know very much about it."
"Where did you see him?" Kagome asked suspiciously.
"I can't exactly remember, but I saw him tonight sometime." Inu-Yasha lied.
"But wait," Miroku mused, "the only place we went tonight was Fluffy's…"
"YOU WENT TO FLUFFY'S!?!?!?!?" both girls screamed.
"Smooth move, Miroku!" Inu-Yasha growled accusingly at his friend while he smacked him over the head.
The girls were not as angry as they could have been, but were still pretty miffed. Not so much about the place the boys had gone, but because they had lied about it. Well, not exactly lied, but not telling was close enough as far as the girls were concerned!
"Inu-Yasha," Kagome said in an icy tone with narrowed eyes.
"What?" Inu-Yasha gulped.
"You had better hope there's a doghouse at this condo."
"Why?" was the general question from everybody.
"BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA BE STAYING IN IT!" Kagome shouted.
