Sophitia: SIT YOUR ANUS DOWN AND READ THIS BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT!
Ryoko: Well, maybe it's not that important, but we felt like saying that anyway. So now that we've got your attention, why don't you read what we have to say anyway?
Glorna: Hey! I started that saying in "Storms"!
Sophitia: We know, we just felt like saying it now since you come in later chapters and therefore are unable to claim the phrase.
…
Hey! You're not supposed to be here!
Ryoko: -.-;; Can we please get on with it?
Sophitia: Anyway…we've talked amongst ourselves-
Ryoko: More like you decided it yourself without consulting me and I'm just here waiting for the fanfic to continue.
Sophitia: -and we've both reached an agreement that we should be able to squeeze in a few more characters. This is where you (the reviewer) come in. We are allowing the first five reviewers who ask to be characters in our story. Just state your character's name, age, and gender. We will find a role for you to play and put you in how we see fit.
Ryoko: But please remember that you will NOT be in the next couple of chapters. This fanfic is already up to page 74 according to Sophitia's copy and chapter eight (excluding our comments and review replies) ended at page 50. So we have a little ways to go.
Sophitia: Also, please be nice to Shippo. We figured that this could be a good way to get a playmate for him, even if it's just for a little while.
Ryoko: We need three more people, as the first two will be tigerwolfgal and Pharohman227XG. The latter being very persistent when asking.
Sophitia: "Persistent" is right. I don't know how many times he's IMed me, asking if he could be a character in the fanfic. (A/N: Just kidding!!! ;;)
Ryoko: We will continue on with the disclaimer and such now. Just remember that if you request, please do not request a certain role for your character. We are the ones with the author powers and we control your fate. And we will give credit to the people who want to be characters. (Ex.: your pen name = "character name")
Disclaimer:
Shippo: Ryoko and Sophitia do not own any of the characters from Inuyasha and Zelda, but they do own themselves and Sophitia did own the bag of candy she just now handed to be until she handed it to me.

To tigerwolfgal:
Review #1:
Miroku: (hugs Sophitia) Yes, we do make a great pair, don't we?
Sophitia: I hate you -.-;;
Link: (walks in carrying Ryoko) Of course, we're the better couple.
Miroku: Are you kidding? Your perverted antics are only imitations of mine.
Link: I was in love with Ryoko before you even met Sophitia.
Miroku: I've been dreaming of a lovely, yet mysterious and unnamed woman since I was thirteen and I've been in love with her since. It just so happens that I recently met the "woman of my dreams."
Link: Keep talking and I'll make sure the only thing you can do is dream…
Sophitia: Meaning what?
Link: I have no clue. That just popped into my head.
Review #2:
Ryoko: Same with you. Check the above announcement and you'll see that you will be a character.
Review #3:
Sophitia: Hm…
Ryoko: Honestly, we can't tell you if you can or can't make a story like ours.
Sophitia: But if you do and decide to post it, please give us credit somewhere on the fanfic (by linking back to our fanfic) and send us the link to it. And when you send the link, either post it in a review or e-mail since Ryoko is the only one who has the password to our e-mail account and she is not online often enough.

To Sugarmaster15 (again):
(A/N: We cracked up at your last review.)
Miroku: I doubt this applies to Link, but I will at least get some soon. After all, I have yet to fail at seducing a woman I truly desire.
Ryoko: Miroku, sleeping with a prostitute hardly counts as "seducing."
Miroku: I wasn't talking about prostitutes. I was talking about the young, innocent, noble ladies of the village.
Ryoko: Not innocent anymore, are they?
Miroku: I dare say they are not. And Sophitia, though quite stubborn, will soon feel the effects of my charm in her lower regions.
Sophitia: (beats him down with the untransformed Tetsusaiga)
Link: Wait, what do you mean by "I doubt this applies to Link"?
Miroku: I meant that you have yet to make any progress with Ryoko and I doubt you ever will at the rate you're going, you inexperienced elf.
Link: With that confidence you wouldn't mind making a bet then, would you? If I seduce Ryoko first, then you have to cut off your hands.
Miroku: Fine. And when I seduce Sophitia before you can even get Ryoko to like you, then you have to stay away from Ryoko for all eternity.
Link: Deal.
Ryoko and Sophitia: O.O
Flashback from last chapter:
Sophitia: Did something happen? (hears voice from above)
Inuyasha: Are you all down there?
Link: Yes!
Ryoko: You yelled in my ear.
Link: Sorry.
Chapter 9
The Rescue
Ryoko: Inuyasha! What took you so long?!?!
Inuyasha: The four of you are so far down it took a few minutes to catch your scent! So shut up already!
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Inuyasha: (holds out a torch) Can all of you see this?!
Ryoko: Yes!
Link: I can't see it through my left eye!
Ryoko: (exasperated sigh) Move your hand Link.
Link: (moves hand) What a woman.
Sophitia: You two make such a good pair.
Ryoko: Shut up Sophitia.
Inuyasha: (lands on the cavern floor) Sounds like all of you got along well.
Link: In a way.
Inuyasha: Has Miroku behaved? (looks at Miroku)
Link: In a way.
Inuyasha: (glares at Miroku, then turns to Sophitia) Did he do anything to you?
Sophitia: (thinks) No, nothing too bad.
Link: In a way, nothing too bad.
Ryoko: (hits Link) Do you have to keep saying that?
Link: In a w- (looks at Ryoko's glare) Never mind.
Inuyasha: I can take two at a time. Sophitia, Ryoko, get on my back and hold on.
Ryoko and Sophitia: (get on Inuyasha's back and hold on (A/N: ;;))
Inuyasha: (jumps for a couple of minutes, then reaches the top)
Ryoko and Sophitia: (get off Inuyasha's back)
Inuyasha: (jumps back down)
Sango: So… how was your day?
Ryoko: Well, if you don't count being stuck in a cavern with two perverts and one of your best friends who also loves to torment you, then losing the only light you have, then sitting next to a pervert in the dark, then I'd say this day was just great.
Sango: Is that how it was for Sophitia, too, or just you?
Sophitia: Both of us.
Kagome: (gasps) You sat next to Miroku in the dark? Do you know what you were risking?
Sango: Link doesn't seem that pure either.
Miroku and Link: We heard that!
Ryoko, Sophitia, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome: (jump as Inuyasha appears with Miroku and Link)
Link: I'm not that perverted!
Miroku: Neither am I!
Everyone except Miroku: (fall down anime style) Oh, yeah, we believe that.
Miroku: -.-;;
Inuyasha: So are we leaving this cave or what?
Ruto and Zelda: LINK!!!!!!!
Link: Uh-oh.
Zelda: Link, where were you? We were afraid that slut got to you!
Ryoko: I am not a slut!
Link: --;; Not again…
Zelda: (hugs Link) Are you all right? I was so worried!
Sophitia: (glances at Ryoko, who basically looked a little… aggravated) Ryoko, if you don't want her hanging all over your man then hit her.
Ryoko: (glares at Sophitia) What exactly do you mean by "your man"?
Sophitia: Admit it, you love him. (smiles at Ryoko with an I-know-what-I'm-talking-about-more-than-you-will-ever-know look)
Kagome: Uh, Sophitia? I don't think now is a good time right now.
Sophitia: Okay.
Link: (finally had enough) GET OFF OF ME WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone Else: O.O Woah.
Zelda: I thought you loved me Link… (cries)
Link: Oh, suck it up and deal with it! You're a princess! There are plenty of guys who would fall for you! Ruto's the one with the real problem!
Sophitia: Ok, Link. Calm down. (gets an idea) Hey, I know! Maybe you would feel better if Ryoko- (receives glare from Ryoko) Uh, never mind.
Link: (confused)
Ryoko: Sophitia, I'm really gonna kill you…
Kagome: I think we're getting a little thrown off subject here.
Inuyasha: Subject? I think you've been going to this "school" for way too long.
Kagome: (ignores Inuyasha) We need to get out of this cave as soon as we can.
Miroku: Why?
Inuyasha: You idiot. Can't you feel the demon energy in this cave?
Miroku: (looks at Sophitia) I hate to say I told you so, but…
Sophitia: What are you talking about? You're loving it.
Zelda: Can we go already? I don't like the idea of being in a cave with demons!
Inuyasha: Coward.
Everyone: (follows Inuyasha towards the exit of the cave)
-:30 minutes later:-
Kagome: Inuyasha, are you sure we're going the right way?
Inuyasha: Of course I'm sure!
Ruto: Why does that line on the wall look familiar?
Sango: You're right. It does look like the one we saw 15 minutes ago.
Ryoko: We're lost, aren't we?
Link: In a way.
Ryoko: (glares at Link)
Link: What?
Inuyasha: We're not lost. I know exactly where I'm going! (points to the left) The exit's this way!
Shippo: (points to the right) No, it's this way!
Inuyasha: What do you know?
Shippo: I know that we've been following you in circles!
Inuyasha: Is that a challenge, fox?!?! (raises claws)
Shippo: AAHHH!!! (hides behind Kagome)
Kagome: Sit boy!
Inuyasha: (falls)
Kagome: Let's follow Shippo for once and maybe we'll find a way out of here!
Inuyasha: Feh. Fine. Follow the little coward. But if you get in trouble, don't come crying to me! Everyone who's coming with me, let's go! (walks away a few yards, then realizes everyone else is following Shippo, then runs after them) Fine, but if we get lost, I get to attack the little brat.
Ruto: I-Is that the… exit?
Sango: (looks ahead and can see a light) It is!
Kagome: (glares at Inuyasha) Well, look at that. Shippo was right all along.
Shippo: You bet I am! Who else could be smarter than Inu-Yasha?
Sango: A little cocky, are we?
Ryoko: (remembers something) Hey, Sophitia.
Sophitia: Yeah?
Ryoko: How do you think we're going to get home?
Sophitia: Huh?
Ryoko: Don't tell me the thought never occurred to you the whole time we were here.
Sophitia: Okay, I won't.
Ryoko: You mean you never did?
Sophitia: You told me not to tell you!
Ryoko: I can't believe you never thought about it.
Sophitia: Well, under some conditions, I never had time to think about it. Besides, why do you want to go home now? We just got here.
Ryoko: I didn't say I wanted to. I was just asking if you ever wondered about how we were going to get home when the time comes.
Sophitia: I don't know. You're the smart one. You figure it out.
Ryoko: --;; Can't we pretend for once that you're the smart one?
Sophitia: Well, the only bright idea I can think of is to go through Kagome's well with her and then catch a plane from Tokyo to somewhere in Ohio or Michigan.
Ryoko: How do you think our parents are going to react?
Sophitia: What do you mean?
Ryoko: (frustrated) How are we going to explain that we were at my house and then somehow vanished in the middle of the night and ended up in Hyrule, where we meet a fish, a Hero of Time, a spoiled little princess, her messenger, and two old guys that were secretly in love with each other, then get blown into the feudal era of Japan where we meet a demon exterminator, a half demon, a modern-aged Japanese girl, a fox demon, and a perverted monk?
Sophitia: I don't know. Maybe they will believe us.
Ryoko: --;; (smiles) You know what? You're right.
Sophitia: (confused at sudden change of mood) I am?
Ryoko: Yeah. Maybe they will believe us. Maybe this whole thing will just be nothing but a memory once we're back home. Maybe life will be the same after this point. And you know what else?
Sophitia: (still confused) What?
Ryoko: Maybe Link really likes Zelda and Ruto. Maybe Impa doesn't know anything. Maybe Ganon is cheating on Rauru. Maybe Inuyasha loves his brother. Maybe Sango hates to kill demons. Maybe Sesshoumaru gives out nontoxic candy on Halloween. Maybe Kagome isn't really Kikyo's reincarnation. Maybe Kikyo hates Inu-Yasha. Maybe Myoga is brave. Maybe Shippo is naïve. Maybe Miroku is gay. Maybe-
Sophitia: Okay, okay! (covers Ryoko's mouth) I get the point. Can't we worry about that later?
Ryoko: Okay. We'll figure it out once we decide to go home.
Link: Why would you want to go home?
Sophitia: We didn't say we want to leave sometime soon. We've been wishing something like this would happen to us.
Miroku: (jumps in front of Sophitia and grabs her hands) You mean you loved everything that's happened here?
Sophitia: Not everything.
Miroku: (disappointed)
Sophitia: (soft voice) Miroku?
Miroku: Yes?
Sophitia: Do you think that maybe you could let go of my hands?
Miroku: (sighs and lets go)
Sophitia: Thanks. (doesn't move)
Miroku: Is something wrong?
Sophitia: I'm not dumb enough to just walk by you and expect nothing to happen.
Miroku: (turns around and continues walking)
Ryoko: Nice try Miroku. You almost had her that time.
Sophitia: (glares at Ryoko)
Ryoko: What? Can't I congratulate someone for trying something?
Sophitia: Depending on what it is, no.
Ryoko: I think you need to lighten up a bit.
Sophitia: What do you mean?
Ryoko: You can just be stubborn sometimes, ya know? (A/N: Yes, in case you are wondering, we are Fushigi Yugi fans, too.)
Sophitia: (plays along with the Chichiri imitation) Well, I can't help being stubborn sometimes, ya know?
Ryoko: No, I don't know.
Sophitia: Fine.
Miroku: You two tend to change your moods a lot, huh?
Link: In a way.
Ryoko: (glares at Link) That really gets annoying.
Miroku: See what I mean?
-:One hour later:-
(Everyone is now swimming around in a lake. They are all in their clothes, as no one wanted to swim naked. (except for Miroku, who would swim naked as long as a female that was not Zelda or Ruto was naked too, and he received a slap from Sango, as she was the only one who heard him say this))
Ruto: Look at all of you slow humans, demons, etc. I can swim faster than you!
Kagome: Of course you can, you're a fish.
Ruto: I am not a fish you puny human!
Kagome: (splashes Ruto) Yes you are!
Ruto: (splashes Kagome back) No!
Kagome: Yes!
Ruto: No!
Inu-Yasha: -.-;;
Sango: Sophitia, I'll race you across this lake and back.
Sophitia: Okay.
Sango and Sophitia: (shriek suddenly)
Miroku: (appears above water behind Sango and Sophitia)
Sango and Sophitia: PERVERT!!!!!!! (slap Miroku, as his staff and Sango's boomerang bone are not within reach at the moment)
Miroku: (swims away from Sango and Sophitia)
Sango and Sophitia: (easily catch up to him, then dunk him under water)
Ryoko: (enjoying the scene)
Sophitia: (stops suddenly) Where did he go?
Sango: Uh-oh.
Sophitia: Swim away!
Sango and Sophitia: (swam across the lake as fast as they could)
Sophitia: (reaches the other side first) Hey! If we raced, I would've won. Cool!
Sango: I don't think that's the first thing I'm concerned about right now.
Sophitia: (looks around) I don't see him.
Sango: I don't know if that's good or bad.
Inuyasha: He's right behind you.
Sango: How do you know?
Inuyasha: The water doesn't hide the scent of that stupid priest.
Sango and Sophitia: (immediately swim away)
Ryoko: (laughs silently to herself, because she already figured out Miroku's plan)
Sango and Sophitia: (stop swimming and try to catch their breath and turn to the direction that they came from, watching for Miroku)
Ryoko: (thinking) 3-2-1…
Sango and Sophitia: WAAHHH!!!!
Miroku: (appears and laughs, then swims away)
Sango and Sophitia: PERVERT!!!!!! (too tired to move)
Miroku: Thanks Inuyasha!!!!
Sango and Sophitia: What?
Ryoko: Inuyasha helped him by saying he was right behind you, when he was still over there.
Sophitia: And you knew about this?
Ryoko: Yep. His plan was obvious.
Miroku: And I thank you for your silence.
Ryoko: No problem.
Sophitia: (splashes Ryoko) And I thought you were my friend!
Ryoko: I am, but what good is a friendship if you can't torment each other once in a while?
Sophitia: Oh, thanks.
Ryoko: (smiles innocently)
Sophitia: And what are you so happy about?
Ryoko: (thinks and realizes she doesn't know) I don't know.
Shippo: A-Achoo!
Kagome: I think Shippo's getting a cold.
Sophitia: Or he's getting cold.
Inu-Yasha: And just what do you expect us to do?
Kagome: Can't we get out of the water now? I'm getting cold, too.
Ryoko: You're going to get cold even if we get out because we'd still be wet.
Kagome: It'll be even colder if we wait until it gets dark.
Sophitia: Well, I'm getting out. I've had enough of Miroku.
Sango: Me too.
Miroku: (follows Sango and Sophitia out of the water) What did I do?
Sango and Sophitia: (glare at Miroku)
Miroku: Okay, what did I do out of the ordinary?
Sango and Sophitia: Nothing.
Everyone else: (decides they had enough of swimming and get out)
Ryoko: Let's go for a walk… (glares at Sophitia) …without separating.
Link: (disappointed)
Everyone else: (agrees as there is nothing else better to do)
Sophitia: (walking and notices that Miroku is no longer in front of her, then feels someone watching her) Don't even think about it Miroku.
Miroku: (groans)
Ryoko: Same thing goes for you, Link.
Link: (from behind) Damn.
Rauru: (pops up out of nowhere and is crying)
Ryoko: (pretends to be concerned) Rauru, what's wrong?
Review. Now.
Ryoko: Well, maybe it's not that important, but we felt like saying that anyway. So now that we've got your attention, why don't you read what we have to say anyway?

Inuyasha: Of course I'm sure!
Ruto: Why does that line on the wall look familiar?
Sango: You're right. It does look like the one we saw 15 minutes ago.
Ryoko: We're lost, aren't we?
Link: In a way.
Ryoko: (glares at Link)
Link: What?
Inuyasha: We're not lost. I know exactly where I'm going! (points to the left) The exit's this way!
Shippo: (points to the right) No, it's this way!
Inuyasha: What do you know?
Shippo: I know that we've been following you in circles!
Inuyasha: Is that a challenge, fox?!?! (raises claws)
Shippo: AAHHH!!! (hides behind Kagome)
Kagome: Sit boy!
Inuyasha: (falls)
Kagome: Let's follow Shippo for once and maybe we'll find a way out of here!
Inuyasha: Feh. Fine. Follow the little coward. But if you get in trouble, don't come crying to me! Everyone who's coming with me, let's go! (walks away a few yards, then realizes everyone else is following Shippo, then runs after them) Fine, but if we get lost, I get to attack the little brat.
Ruto: I-Is that the… exit?
Sango: (looks ahead and can see a light) It is!
Kagome: (glares at Inuyasha) Well, look at that. Shippo was right all along.
Shippo: You bet I am! Who else could be smarter than Inu-Yasha?
Sango: A little cocky, are we?
Ryoko: (remembers something) Hey, Sophitia.
Sophitia: Yeah?
Ryoko: How do you think we're going to get home?
Sophitia: Huh?
Ryoko: Don't tell me the thought never occurred to you the whole time we were here.
Sophitia: Okay, I won't.
Ryoko: You mean you never did?
Sophitia: You told me not to tell you!
Ryoko: I can't believe you never thought about it.
Sophitia: Well, under some conditions, I never had time to think about it. Besides, why do you want to go home now? We just got here.
Ryoko: I didn't say I wanted to. I was just asking if you ever wondered about how we were going to get home when the time comes.
Sophitia: I don't know. You're the smart one. You figure it out.
Ryoko: --;; Can't we pretend for once that you're the smart one?
Sophitia: Well, the only bright idea I can think of is to go through Kagome's well with her and then catch a plane from Tokyo to somewhere in Ohio or Michigan.
Ryoko: How do you think our parents are going to react?
Sophitia: What do you mean?
Ryoko: (frustrated) How are we going to explain that we were at my house and then somehow vanished in the middle of the night and ended up in Hyrule, where we meet a fish, a Hero of Time, a spoiled little princess, her messenger, and two old guys that were secretly in love with each other, then get blown into the feudal era of Japan where we meet a demon exterminator, a half demon, a modern-aged Japanese girl, a fox demon, and a perverted monk?
Sophitia: I don't know. Maybe they will believe us.
Ryoko: --;; (smiles) You know what? You're right.
Sophitia: (confused at sudden change of mood) I am?
Ryoko: Yeah. Maybe they will believe us. Maybe this whole thing will just be nothing but a memory once we're back home. Maybe life will be the same after this point. And you know what else?
Sophitia: (still confused) What?
Ryoko: Maybe Link really likes Zelda and Ruto. Maybe Impa doesn't know anything. Maybe Ganon is cheating on Rauru. Maybe Inuyasha loves his brother. Maybe Sango hates to kill demons. Maybe Sesshoumaru gives out nontoxic candy on Halloween. Maybe Kagome isn't really Kikyo's reincarnation. Maybe Kikyo hates Inu-Yasha. Maybe Myoga is brave. Maybe Shippo is naïve. Maybe Miroku is gay. Maybe-
Sophitia: Okay, okay! (covers Ryoko's mouth) I get the point. Can't we worry about that later?
Ryoko: Okay. We'll figure it out once we decide to go home.
Link: Why would you want to go home?
Sophitia: We didn't say we want to leave sometime soon. We've been wishing something like this would happen to us.
Miroku: (jumps in front of Sophitia and grabs her hands) You mean you loved everything that's happened here?
Sophitia: Not everything.
Miroku: (disappointed)
Sophitia: (soft voice) Miroku?
Miroku: Yes?
Sophitia: Do you think that maybe you could let go of my hands?
Miroku: (sighs and lets go)
Sophitia: Thanks. (doesn't move)
Miroku: Is something wrong?
Sophitia: I'm not dumb enough to just walk by you and expect nothing to happen.
Miroku: (turns around and continues walking)
Ryoko: Nice try Miroku. You almost had her that time.
Sophitia: (glares at Ryoko)
Ryoko: What? Can't I congratulate someone for trying something?
Sophitia: Depending on what it is, no.
Ryoko: I think you need to lighten up a bit.
Sophitia: What do you mean?
Ryoko: You can just be stubborn sometimes, ya know? (A/N: Yes, in case you are wondering, we are Fushigi Yugi fans, too.)
Sophitia: (plays along with the Chichiri imitation) Well, I can't help being stubborn sometimes, ya know?
Ryoko: No, I don't know.
Sophitia: Fine.
Miroku: You two tend to change your moods a lot, huh?
Link: In a way.
Ryoko: (glares at Link) That really gets annoying.
Miroku: See what I mean?
-:One hour later:-
(Everyone is now swimming around in a lake. They are all in their clothes, as no one wanted to swim naked. (except for Miroku, who would swim naked as long as a female that was not Zelda or Ruto was naked too, and he received a slap from Sango, as she was the only one who heard him say this))
Ruto: Look at all of you slow humans, demons, etc. I can swim faster than you!
Kagome: Of course you can, you're a fish.
Ruto: I am not a fish you puny human!
Kagome: (splashes Ruto) Yes you are!
Ruto: (splashes Kagome back) No!
Kagome: Yes!
Ruto: No!
Inu-Yasha: -.-;;
Sango: Sophitia, I'll race you across this lake and back.
Sophitia: Okay.
Sango and Sophitia: (shriek suddenly)
Miroku: (appears above water behind Sango and Sophitia)
Sango and Sophitia: PERVERT!!!!!!! (slap Miroku, as his staff and Sango's boomerang bone are not within reach at the moment)
Miroku: (swims away from Sango and Sophitia)
Sango and Sophitia: (easily catch up to him, then dunk him under water)
Ryoko: (enjoying the scene)
Sophitia: (stops suddenly) Where did he go?
Sango: Uh-oh.
Sophitia: Swim away!
Sango and Sophitia: (swam across the lake as fast as they could)
Sophitia: (reaches the other side first) Hey! If we raced, I would've won. Cool!
Sango: I don't think that's the first thing I'm concerned about right now.
Sophitia: (looks around) I don't see him.
Sango: I don't know if that's good or bad.
Inuyasha: He's right behind you.
Sango: How do you know?
Inuyasha: The water doesn't hide the scent of that stupid priest.
Sango and Sophitia: (immediately swim away)
Ryoko: (laughs silently to herself, because she already figured out Miroku's plan)
Sango and Sophitia: (stop swimming and try to catch their breath and turn to the direction that they came from, watching for Miroku)
Ryoko: (thinking) 3-2-1…
Sango and Sophitia: WAAHHH!!!!
Miroku: (appears and laughs, then swims away)
Sango and Sophitia: PERVERT!!!!!! (too tired to move)
Miroku: Thanks Inuyasha!!!!
Sango and Sophitia: What?
Ryoko: Inuyasha helped him by saying he was right behind you, when he was still over there.
Sophitia: And you knew about this?
Ryoko: Yep. His plan was obvious.
Miroku: And I thank you for your silence.
Ryoko: No problem.
Sophitia: (splashes Ryoko) And I thought you were my friend!
Ryoko: I am, but what good is a friendship if you can't torment each other once in a while?
Sophitia: Oh, thanks.
Ryoko: (smiles innocently)
Sophitia: And what are you so happy about?
Ryoko: (thinks and realizes she doesn't know) I don't know.
Shippo: A-Achoo!
Kagome: I think Shippo's getting a cold.
Sophitia: Or he's getting cold.
Inu-Yasha: And just what do you expect us to do?
Kagome: Can't we get out of the water now? I'm getting cold, too.
Ryoko: You're going to get cold even if we get out because we'd still be wet.
Kagome: It'll be even colder if we wait until it gets dark.
Sophitia: Well, I'm getting out. I've had enough of Miroku.
Sango: Me too.
Miroku: (follows Sango and Sophitia out of the water) What did I do?
Sango and Sophitia: (glare at Miroku)
Miroku: Okay, what did I do out of the ordinary?
Sango and Sophitia: Nothing.
Everyone else: (decides they had enough of swimming and get out)
Ryoko: Let's go for a walk… (glares at Sophitia) …without separating.
Link: (disappointed)
Everyone else: (agrees as there is nothing else better to do)
Sophitia: (walking and notices that Miroku is no longer in front of her, then feels someone watching her) Don't even think about it Miroku.
Miroku: (groans)
Ryoko: Same thing goes for you, Link.
Link: (from behind) Damn.
Rauru: (pops up out of nowhere and is crying)
Ryoko: (pretends to be concerned) Rauru, what's wrong?
Review. Now.
