CHAPTER FOUR: Yeargh Matey!

Kagome woke up from her sleep, refreshed as she hadn't been in a long time. She smiled broadly and stretched, only to have her hand bump something. Frowning, Kagome looked around her. She was in the Black Room...With...all of the Samurai Demons? '..The hell...?' was the only thought that came to Kagome's baffled mind.

Aoshi opened his eye and Kagome jumped, "Jeez! Don't scare me like that!"

With a shrug he sat up, "I'm aware that you are slightly nervous, but you are in your own home, surrounded by friends who will allow no harm to come to you. Your fear is unfounded. I suggest you either go back to sleep or get up and do whatever it is that takes you women so long in the morning...Or before a date."

There was a slight bit of angered confusion in his voice...Men, they never understood the simple things.

Sango was the next to wake up, as Aoshi accidently nudged her on his way out.

Kagome smiled at Sango, "Hey...I know you just woke up..But can you tell me everyone's relationships now?"

Sango nodded with a yawn, "Sure. Lets see...Inuyasha and Shesshomaru are half brothers, Miroku is Inuyasha's cousin. But not Shesshomaru because it was on Inuyasha's mom's side. Shesshomaru is dating Rin, who is Misao's niece, and Misao is dating Aoshi, who is Koga's uncle's half sister's son. Koga is dating Rika who is Aya's cousin's best friend's daughter. Soujirou is dating Aya and he's also Kirara's half brother. I'm related to Kirara by marriage of my uncle to her aunt. Sano is Kenshin's cousin. Sano is dating Megumi who is related to Tsabaume. Megumi is Tsabaume's aunt, and Tsabaume is dating Yahiko who is Shippo's brother and Kaoru is related to Tae who is dating Saitou. See?"

Kagome blinked, "Hell...You're all some sort of incestual....sort of family...thing....Hell...It's a family screwing tribe!"

Sango threw a pillow at Kagome, who ducked and by doing so allowed the pillow to hit Inuyasha who whacked Miroku, who then landed on Misao when he jumped who kicked and hit Shippo who bit Tsabaume, who clocked her head with Megumi. Megumi scratched Kenshin, who punched Sano who grabbed Kaoru's arm, who screamed and lashed out, hitting Aya and Rika in the same blow. Rika attacked Kirara and Aya went after Yahiko. Koga got hit by Yahiko's flailing fists, and elbowed Soujirou, who jumped and tripped over Rin, who screamed as he also landed on Shesshomaru.

Kagome grinned, "Rise and shine lovely friends of mine who will kindly refrain from attempting to kill me in some horrible way because I am just too cute to die...?"

Inuyasha glared at Kagome who took that as her cue to scream loudly and run for her life. She tore up the stairs and all the way up too her bed room. Stumbling into her bedroom she laughed nervously. Quickly she locked her doors and sighed, "Stupid people."

Kagome ran a hand through her hair and ignored the pounding on the door as she walked into her bathroom. Stepping into the shower she turned on the water, keeping it fairly hot, and washed up, careful of her wounded arm. Stepping out of the shower, Kagome quickly dried and wrapped her lovely, big black fluffy towel around herself and went to rummage through her clothes.

Having decided to wear a pair of dark blue jeans and a black tank top that read: "Not a RULES type of girl..."

Kagome grinned, pulled on her Vans skater shoes, put on her normal arm band, her bracelet/watch, her regular pyramid studded bracelet and hair band, her two rings and her heavy chained necklace with a pendent that had a nightshade engraved on it. On the other side were the words "The Endless" in honor of Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium from Neil Gaiman's famous writings.

Hearing pounding still coming from her door Kagome silently unlocked it and threw open the door as she herself jumped to the side to allow the boys to fall in, all of them still intent on murder, Kagome guessed, "Hey there boys."

Inuyasha glared up at her and Kagome's gentle laugh ran out, "Don't glare at me like that Inuyasha. Its your own fault for wanting to bang on my door you know."

Reaching down two hands she hefted up Inuyasha and Kenshin before helping up Sano and Shesshomaru, then Koga and Yahiko, and followed by Shippo and Miroku and then Soujirou. Aoshi was the only guy who wasn't out for her head it seemed, "Is anyone hurt?"

Shippo shrugged, "Not too badly."

Kagome's eyes lit onto the young boy and saw a bleeding cut on his cheek. Gasping she fell to her knees and tenderly touched the wound, "Oh...I'm so sorry!"

Reaching under her bed she pulled out a...a first aid kit? Ooh yeah...Forgot about that. Anyway she went about cleaning the wound and putting a bandage on it. All jokes aside she gave all the boys a stern look and told them to sit down so she could check for any wounds. Finding that a few of the boys has also sustained cuts, Kenshin's being the worst she set to work on all of the easy little things and sent them downstairs as she patched up Kenshin's cut arm.

"I'm sorry you've gotten hurt because of me Kenshin. I didn't mean for any harm to come to anyone because of my silly games."

Kenshin smiled at the young girl, "No real harm done Miss Kagome."

Kagome grinned, "Thats good to know Mr. Kenshin."

Kenshin stuttered, "Oro?"

She giggled, "You call me Miss and I'll call you Mister."

Kenshin grinned sheepishly, "I'm sorry...Kagome."

Kagome shrugged, with a small smile on her face, "Its fine. Don't worry."

With that, Kagome rose to her feet with Kenshin by her side, "Come on, we better go make sure no one causes any problems, ne?"

Kenshin smiled and wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist, hugging her to his body for a moment, before walking onward, "Yeah, we probably should."

Kagome scrunched up her nose in confusion, "These guys get weirder by the hour, I swear..."

Kagome made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen to see her friends and brother lounging as they ate something or another. Kagome smiled and quietly asked for her normal breakfast which consisted of a croissant covered in the chocolate hazelnut spread, nutella, either milk or cappuccino, and some strawberries. Oftentimes they too got dipped into the chocolate spread.

Kagome sat down next to Soujirou and smiled, "Hey everyone. I'm sorry about the huge, um...murderous rampage that I started this morning."

Souta tore up to his sister and clambered into her lap, "Kagome! We're gonna go to the movies tonight right? You and me?"

Kagome smiled, "Kinda hun, but you know we have to bring someone to keep us safe. You get to choose this time."

Souta pointed at Inuyasha and Miroku, "Them! They're cool! And Miro-kun can bring Sango-chan, yes?"

Kagome ruffled the young boy's hair, "Whatever you want darling."

Souta grinned, "We're going to go see Pirates of the Carribean! Isn't that the best Kagome?! Just like when we were little! Hey, can we...?"

Kagome groaned, "Why do I let you do this to me? Fine...but EVERYONE else has to play too."

Everyone blinked, with a "Eh?" chorus though the group, to which Kagome answered, "Pirates my dears. Pirates. We're all going to dress up as Pirates and then we're going to go to a Pirate movie. All of us!"

Souta whooped in joy and ran off. Shesshomaru glared, "Are you insane? This Shesshomaru is not going to play dress up, especially as a pirate!"

Rin giggled, "C'mon it'll be fun!"

Aoshi shook his head, "Absolutely not. We are respectable gang members, not baby sitters or dress up dolls."

Misao pouted, "You say that now. But I'll change your mind. Trust me, I will. Because if you guys DON'T agree then we girls will keep IT from you!"

Kagome looked confused as all the guys gasped, "You wouldn't!" came from Kouga.

"Misao, how can you be so cruel?" was from Aoshi.

Shesshy said, "That is just sick you twisted girl."

Kenshin: "You really ARE a weasel!"

Sano: "Damn you to hell you monster!"

Yahiko: "We'll so get you back for this!"

Sou-chan, "Misao! I can't believe you would sink so low!"

Shippo: "Misao...you would take that away....WAHHHH!"

Miroku: "Beautiful women are never to be trusted..Not that Misao is beautiful...Wait, Aoshi! Stop! I was JOKING!"

Inuyasha; "Its people like you who need to be put into jail for inhumane acts!"

Kagome blinked, "What the hell is going on?"

Kaoru grinned, "Don't ask. Just leave it alone. The boys will now willingly participate in the dressing up and the movie going."

Kagome shrugged and wandered off, with the whole lot of them following behind, the males still sniffling, and the girls chattering about the costumes.

Souta was all dressed up in Pirate fashion and Kagome magically (somehow, we dunno HOW exactly, but we don't question her anymore. Those arrows HURT!) Found perfect costumes for all of her friends. After HOURS of struggling with the guys to get them into the costumes, the girls got dressed, grabbed the boys, and off they went to the theater.

There they watched Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the black Pearl.

At random, odd intervals one of the mangy cast would stand up and yell, "YEARGH MATEY!" before promptly sitting back down to watch the movie.

Inuyasha kept sneaking glances at Kagome, who was joking with her younger brother. He smiled a secret smile that he thought no one saw. However! Kaoru, Sango, Kenshin and Miroku saw it and came to the decision to play matchmakers and hook their annoying leader up with the sweet and tempting Kagome.

The movie ended as Kagome's disdainful comments on the horrible ending to that movie and the wretched lines started, "That sucked! That fucking sucked! Souta, remember never to swear, but seriously! 'He's not a black smith...he's a pirate..' GAG ME WITH A SPOON! ISHY!"

Kaoru giggled and asked, "Don't you like romance?"

Kagome smiled, "Yeah! I love romance! But, not sick, bad lines like that. I like the roses, and wine and the dinners and the cute little things like the guy of your choice wrapping their arms around you in the middle of a rain shower or something. Or to have them bring you flowers, to have...well...you know. Just not sick shitty lines like that."

Kenshin and Inuyasha and Miroku all took note of what Kagome said that the girls nodded their heads too.

Sango grinned, "Well, what would you have said?"

Kagome giggled, "If I were Elizabeth I would have said, 'Maybe he is a blacksmith...but more importantly, he is the man I love.'"

Sango giggled, "Thats cute."

Souta gagged, "You girls and your mushy nasty stuff. Eww...."

Kagome swept her brother up into her arms and onto her back, "When you get older you'll appreciate some of it darlin', trust me."

Souta yawned, "Nah..."

Everyone enjoyed the comfortable silence the rest of the way home shattered only by Souta's even breaths and random grumbled word in his sleep.

Sorry it isn't very long. I'm having SERIOUS issues at home and some SERIOUS writers block. But I'm working on it. I threw this together after watching a movie.

The parings stand as this:

Inu/Kag

Shesshy/Rin

Miro/Sango

Sano/Megumi

Kouga/Rika. (I know I said Aya, but it was a mistake on my part. Sorry!)

Anyway, keep reading, keep voting, I'm SORRY its taking so long. But I AM working on it!
