Chapter Eight

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Inuyasha screamed out in pain as the burning sensation of the alcohal took its toll on him. Kagome sweatdropped and tried to wipe the hanyou with a cottonswab.

"C'mon, Inuyasha. Stop being such a scardy-cat," Kagome teased.

"How the hell do you people 'in the future' deal with this type of pain? I can't even move my freaken' arm!" It was late afternoon and Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku were in Kagome's hotel room. Mrs. Takeuchi had been kind enough as to let her friends stay in extra hotel rooms. Sango took the opposite bed and Miroku had t share a room with Inuyasha. They were trying to heal, but Inuyasha refused, even though his injuries were too bad for his demon side of him to heal them.

"Calm down, Inuyasha. You're giving me a headache," Sango complained. She was seated in her guest bed. Miroku sat on the carpet and studied the artwork of the room. Kouga was sleeping on Kagome's bed.

"Oh well. At least I don't have to have anymore of that medicine shit. It's horrible," the hanyou smirked.

"He's more hard-headed than I thought," Miroku muttered to himself. "I thought Kagome already explained to you that she needs to give you drinking medicine Right, Lady Kagome?"

"What?!"

"It might not taste very well, but it's gonna help a lot," Kagome insisted.

"No way in Heaven or Hell am I gonna drink that toxic waste you call a cure. I'll lie down dead before I drink that stuff. You hear me:DEAD.That means six feet underground, in the dirt, cold , freezing, and alone!"

"Please?"

"No!"

"I'll say the word if you don't,"

"Go ahead and try. See if I care." That did it. Faster than you could say ''Uh-oh'', Kagome opened her mouth and said the one word that would send the dog demon crashing to Earth.

"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!"

In an instant, a loud thump could be heard from the opposite side of the beach. They knew he would be up once the effects wore off, so Sango and Miroku sat on Inuyasha's back while Kagome took the red medicine and forced it down his throat.

(Sorry, but I needed a good laugh and imagining this happen made me laugh so hard, I had to take a 10-minute break from typing until my stomach stopped hurting)

At this paticular moment, Kouga moaned from the bed and opened his blue eyes to see the hilarioius scene. He troed to surpress his laughter, but it escaped unsuccessfully. Everyone else followed the wolf prince.

"Hey Dog-Turd. How does it feel to be at the bottom of the food chain?" His only reply was muffled curse words that even Naraku himself would be afraid of. But all of the fun was interrupted when there was a knock at the door. The spell wore off, and Inuyasha pushed Sango and Miroku off his back. Kagome tied a bandana to his ears and opened the door to see Hojo and a girl behind him.

"Hey Hojo. What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just wanted to know what all the rucus was from your room."

"Oh, well me and my friends were just....um......,"

"it's none of you buissness, Pretty Boy." The words came out like venum from Inuyasha's lips.

"Stop it, that was rude. Sorry, I haven' t introduced you all yet. Hojo this is Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku and Kouga." Hojo extended his hand at Inuyasha, but the half-demon ignored the hand. Hojo looked hurt, but recovered when he heard a cough from behind him.

"Oh, I forgot: you all have a visitor. Her name is Kasumi Kinomoto." Kasumi stepped from behind Hojo and immediantly ran to give Kagome and Sango hugs. Hojo saw that they were settled and left, closing the door behind him. Kasumi entered wearing a whit T-shirt that hang off her shoulders, exposing her bikini straps. A knee-lenth beige skirt hung at her thighs, and flip- flops slipped on her feet.

" Lady Kasumi, we were so worried about you. You were gone for such a long time," Miroku admitted. Kasumi smiled sweetly.

"I had to leave to across town to take care of buisness. A group of basterds kiled my pet. Damn them all. "

"I'm sorry," Kagome hugged her tighter. "Is there anything we can do to help you, Kasumi?"

Hearing her name, Kouga jumped at the girl. He wrapped one hand around her fragile neck and began to choke her.

"You dirty bitch! How dare you show you're face here after you relesed that Demon-Eater on us! He almost ate us alive, you disgusting whore!" Kasumi had a look of pure innocence on her face, yet it became harder and harder to breath as Kouga's anger grew.

"Kouga, stop choking her! You'll kill her at this rate!" Kagome exclaimed.

"Don't you get it, Kagome? I want her dead. This girl is the......," Kouga was suddenly thrown to the bed. Kasumi's eyes were glowing deadly green as she wanved her hand and Kouga floted around the room. It hit the others like a ton of bricks------------ Kasumi had telekanesis!

"K-Kasumi," Miroku's voice cracked in astonishment. She stopped immediatly and Kouga fell on the bed hard.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I'm a demon from the past and I followed you here. My gift is telekanesis and............ I really want you to accept me anyway," A gleam of loneliness and sadness appeared.

"What the heck? We need stronger forces and by the looks on Wolf-Boy, I'd say that you just passed the qualifyinng exam," Inuyasha joked. The others nodded. Kouga got up from the pillows and tried to stop them.

"It's all a trick. Kasumi tried to kill me. She's on the side of Naraku; you all just have to believe me!" But it was too late because they had fallen for Kasumi's innocence and lies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cresent moon in the sky beamed beautifully and the wasves crashed onto shore peacefully. Kagome and Sango were sleeping peacefully in their beds; Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kouga were snoring loudly in their room; but Kasumi locked herself in the bathroom. She reached for the mirror in her pocket. In an instant, Kagura appeared. Kasumi's face lit up in happiness.

"Sister Kagura! It is so good to see you're face, for I have missed you so much....., oh, and Eldest Sister Kanna, too. "

" Yes. Anyway, Sister Kasumi, how are those arrogant fools?" Kagura asked.

"They are all acting just as Master Naraku had predicted. The only one that is causing me a trouble is that wolf demon, Kouga. He is the only one that knows of my realtionship with Master Naraku, but nobody believes him. All is going according to plan."

"Wonderful. You please me, Sister Kasumi. Let me tell you the rest of the plan........,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright, I'm sorry for all the cliffhangers. Oh, and all Kouga fans (including myself): he will not be ignored for the rest of the story! I will make sure that the guys finally listen to him, but for now, thay are as clueless as you all are to my ideas for the next chapter (sorry for that comment if you found it offensive) Well, that's all for now. See you next chapter!
