I AM EVIL. Actually I am hyped up on SUGAR!!! Which is good because this is a humorous chapter!! I just keep switching don't I?

Wow.

JUST PEACHY- yeah I thought it was kinda funny how she did that to. And her hair's just a pastel pink. It's not like she was wearing a pink suit. But I get your point. Thanks for telling me the name. This is really great because Tai could just be a nickname... or something. I know everything's twisted!! I planned this all out in my head from the beginning, so it will all work out... for the most part at least. You'll understand at the end. It's tricking my mind though!!!! *Sniff sniff* thanks for the bandage! I LOVE HELLO KITTY!! You're so thoughtful! Kouga is a really weird character in my story. Well I always thought him a sorta dumb but he's gonna be quite important actually. Not like he saves the day though @_@ Imagine that!!

Long enough for you?

I know I haven't put enough Sango and Shippou in here but they'll come back in about the next chapter or so. Actually they'll probably be in here, ok, maybe not! Ok I know what's gonna happen in this chappie but I have to write it down on paper before I type it. Ideas flow easier that way.

YOU BETTER BE GLAD THAT I AM WRITING THIS RIGHT NOW! I HAVE SOME REALLY MAD FANS IN MY OTHER FIC ASKING ME WHY I HAVEN'T UPDATED. Never ever gives your email address EVER! *shakes head sadly*

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Sango, Shippou, Yura, Kouga, Jaken, (all the other characters in the book that are to come *hint hint*) or Sota. I do however own Hope, Yuka, Alice (lata on), and Fluffy. FLUFFY IS MINE! He's a very nice lap dog... so soft and cuddly...mmmmmmmm...

WHAT! / WHO? / and the Ultimate Torture----------------------------------

It was a week after she had met Sesshoumaru's prized workers and what she suspected was his brother. Hope crashed landed on her couch completely wasted. He face was pushed up against the pillow, arms relaxed at her sides. 'So tired...' she thought. Just when she was about to drift off her head bolted upright and she fell of the couch in a sudden jerking movement. "Can't breath!" she screamed realizing that she was about to suffocate herself with the pillow. (A/N that's happened to me. LOL) Regaining normal breathing rhythm, she climbed back onto her couch, exhausted from the day. That and she had just felt droopy recently. She once again drifted off making sure that this time her nose wasn't on the pillow.

Two hours Lata-------------------------------------------------------------

Hope was deep in Lala land when the doorbell suddenly rang. She raised her head and then dropped it again. 'Nooooooooooooooo! I don't wanna!' she cried to herself. But the doorbell just didn't stop ringing. Now there was persistent knocking and she thought that she could distinguish death threats. Thinking that it might be her brother she got up and fixed her hair in a mirror. 'That damn bastard said it would take a day. It's been a week! Probably forgot.' She reasoned.

She was not prepared for the sight that greeted her at the door.

(I end? No way. I am SO not that cruel...or am I?)

"Kagome?" she blinked. Kagome pushed past her and proceeded to inspect the apartment. Was she hallucinating?

"Dumb ass, help me with these bags!" screamed her pissed off boss. 'Nope, not dreaming!' Hope smirked widely at this, glad that she knew that she wasn't a psychopath. "What the fuck are you dreaming about? Shesh! I think you need some more training to hone your skills." Now Hope was wide awake. Nobody dissed her skills and lived to tell the tale. She glared at Kagome. Kagome glared back.

Realizing exactly who she was challenging Hope backed down with a "I wasn't expecting you yet!"

Kagome snorted. "If you expected me then I couldn't check up on you appropriately," she declared. "At least you keep this place clean."

The La Kella marched over to the door when scuffling was heard in the corridor. Curious neighbors watched this scene with quiet amusement. "Can you go any slower, Miroku? And Yuka, why'd you bring so much pointless stuff?" a definite humph was heard outside and the two assistants came through the doorway. Hope eyed them suspiciously. Especially Miroku. She knew about his wandering hand. In fact she believed she was the first ever that he had groped.

Realization hit her. "KAGOME! I thought you were the only that was coming! You never told me that those two misfits were joining you. This is a disaster!"

"Who are these misfits that you're talking about?" Yuka smiled sweetly.

Hope felt a familiar hand on her ass. "Get the fuck off of me Miroku! If you ever want to have kids or not have your hands amputated I suggest never doing that again!" she slapped him a few times while Yuka watched amused, Kagome exasperated.

Kagome stopped Hope with a wave of her hand and a few choice words. "A soldier is always prepared. Always. I am yet again disappointed in you, Hope. It seems these few years to yourself have not helped you improve your temper."

"It's not that," commented Hope while sweat dropping, "It is only that I have only ONE guest bedroom."

"Oh," Yuka and Kagome muttered. They all turned to Miroku who was grinning wildly. They all sweat dropped this time.

Lata------------------------------------------------------------------

"No way! I refuse to have that perverted jerk in my bedroom."

"Well, he's not going to be in mine either!"

"Humph."

"No. that's my final answer. I own this place, I set down the rules."

Yuka gave a puppy dog look.

"No."

"You know I am not so bad, ladies, I really can be quite enjoyable." *thump* *thump*

The two bickering woman looked at Kagome expectantly. They both knew that there was absolutely no point in trying to convince her to share a bedroom with the pervert. There was the same chance that Hope would dye her hair black. Not gonna happen.

"I suggest that since Hope has already demonstrated her abilities to keep Miroku at bay that he should be her responsibility. Therefore he should stay with her. Yuka and I will share the extra room." Hope pouted desperately but Kagome's decisions were law. 'No Sesshoumaru, I guess,' she thought bitterly.

Then she perked up. Oh yes, she knew exactly how to improve her mood. She grinned wickedly. Yura looked on suspiciously, Kagome indifferently, and Miroku happily. "Alright you win," she said childishly clasping her hands together and looking on with her innocent navy eyes. "As long as he'll play with me," she concluded as though she was five.

If possible, Miroku's grin grew wider. "Of course, dear lady, anything you desire me to do I shall," he said bowing.

"Wonderful!" she squeaked opening her hands if to embrace the world. "Yuka I shall need your help and..." she looked at each other them, "all of you submission."

Yuka smiled slightly, wondering what was turning in her new friend's mind of hers. Kagome raised an eyebrow. It was obvious that Hope had not lost her creative streak so this was gonna be interesting.

Even Lata ^_^----------------------------------------------------

"Nooooooo! Evil bitches get away from me!!" shrieked Miroku as he scampered out of Hope's bedroom. Yuka came out from behind the door a grin plastered on her wicked looking face, hiding something behind her back.

"You may run but you will never hid!" she cackled leaping after him. Kagome watched from the kitchen amused at what those two woman had cooked up.

"But you promised, Miroku!" pouted Hope as she got on his other side. He was now trapped. "Anyway we can't have anyone recognizing you, can we? You know you're VERY well known as an agent of the La Kellas'."

"Just not that way, please! I beg you!" he looked wildly form side to side. They were closing in now, each girl with an evil smirk on their face.

"Too late, pervert," Yuka sneered. And with that the two lunatics lunged at him and were successful to pinning him the floor. Hope laughed in triumph. Revenge was hers! They now cared the prone jerk to the bathroom. Yuka was careful to make sure that he stayed conscious while they performed the torture. "Ready to begin Doctor Lane?"

"Of course Nurse Yuka. Operation Blue is now in motion." Hope declared. They sniggered. Miroku gave a few last attempts to call out for help but his mouth was gagged. (A/N What are they doing to him?!)

Kagome sighed and shook her head, pretending to be disgusted with this behavior. Really she was getting quite a kick out of it. She didn't even remember the last time she had any fun. Each one of them had to do it otherwise they could not move freely here. They would all be recognized. But Miroku's pitiful attempts to fight the two crazed bitches was actually quite hilarious. He could never defeat them, he was bound to lose as he just had. Those two were trained to be the best defenders and assassins. The pervert was only one.

"Miss. Kagome?" muttered Yuka from the bathroom door. "I dropped the blue hair dye by the table, could you please hand it to me. Hope is having rather a difficult time with the jerk right now. Seems the pressure point wore off faster then we expected." Kagome sighed again and complied. Handing over the ice blue dye she gave her protector a hard stare. "Don't kill him, ok?" (A/N hahahahahaha. Can you imagine Miroku with blue hair? Mwahahahahaha. Sorry, I've never seen Miroku before in the anime so when I first heard his name I thought 'blue.' Remember, I am high on sugar!!)

Lata--------------------------------------------------------------

Yuka sighed as she sipped her hot cacao. Today was probably one of the best days of her entire life. She sighed again. Her once pitch-black hair was now a deep chocolate brown and her gray eyes were now an emerald green. She looked at her boss who had been bullied into putting red streaks into her black, black hair and her blue-gray eyes were now an almost a bloody red. They screamed out DON'T TOUCH ME! Suited her personality perfectly.

Hope was preparing a cot into her bedroom with surprisingly good spirits. Yuka could almost swear that she was singing... Miroku seemed to have given up trying to wash out the dye in his hair. Yuka knew this because he's creative cusswords had been replaced by a few moans. He had been in there for over an hour. She wriggled her nose up in disgust as she thought of him looking like a prune (A/N no worries. This will most definitely be a S/M. the reason why this can not be a Y/M will be revealed shortly.)

She yawned widely as the doorbell rang. She snapped out of her daze and prepared to answer the door since Kagome wasn't moving and Hope was busy setting stuff up in her bedroom. Just as she got up though Hope sing songed that she would get it. And she heard her skip off to answer who ever was there.

She was sitting back down when she heard a muffled shriek. She missed the chair in shock and hit the floor with a thump. (A/N some defender. Can't even sit right. Jeez!)

(Keep going? Yes? My hands are tired! But I guess it's not fair to keep you hanging! *grumbles* long chappie.)

Hope-------------------------------------------------

She pranced happily to the door. Her day couldn't get any better. She stopped for a moment and looked out the window. 'When had it started to rain?' she questioned. 'Oh well.' She reached the door in her sock covered feet and threw it open. She stared. She gawked. She almost fainted. Instead she screamed. A loud thump was heard from the kitchen but she didn't notice. All she could do was shriek and point at the person in front of her.

"Oh my sweet GOD!" she cried out after her initial shock. "What did you do to your beautiful hair?" There, standing before her very eyes, was the one and only drenched Sesshoumaru vainly trying to hide his DARK BLUE hair from her eyes.

"Inu-Yasha, the bastard decided it would be a great joke if he dyed my hair while I was sleeping. You should see my sheets," he replied warily. Of course his brother had just found this HILARIOUS and kept holding back giggles commenting on what his girlfriend was going to say when she saw him.

Memory flashes of Miroku invaded her brain. "I-it's not per-permanent is it?" she asked in a soft whisper.

"No, otherwise he's be cold dead right now. It'll only last about two days."

"Inu-Yasha... your brother?" she asked again, laughter invading her voice in place of the shock.

Sesshoumaru cussed himself silently. They had never been formally introduced before! He guessed Hope arriving at his office unexpected like that really threw him off. "A dumb witted HALF-brother of mine...yes."

She burst out laughing. At this time a Kagome, Yuka, and a very indecently dressed Miroku, a.k.a. towel, arrived at the scene. "We heard someone scream?" asked Kagome calmly.

Sesshoumaru studied these unique characters quietly. Especially Miroku who proceeded to wrap his arm around HIS woman's waist. He was relieved when she slapped him away. He eyed his ice blue hair.

"Ohhhhh... umm... everyone I'd like you to meet Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru this is...Mike," she said pointing her finger at Miroku, "he's my perverted cousin, not to worry. And Yuki, his fiancé," she smirked pointing at the glowering Yuka. (A/N yeah I know the name Yuki doesn't belong to me and I am trying to make the names as close as possible to the original so you won't get confused.) "And last but not least this is Kate, Yuki's younger sister," she concluded pointing at Kagome. (A/N yeah I know they're American but I don't know any similar Japanese names.)

Sesshoumaru nodded in greeting. "May I asked why they're staying here?" he demanded.

"Aw, yes. Well you see Mike and Yuki are just touring around Japan looking for wedding sites. They usually live in China. Kate just decided to come because she's planning to major in design so she' helping them out. They're just staying here for the meantime. It was a last minute decision made by my aunt to bully me into letting them stay.

'Mike' smirked at this proclamation and in turn hugged 'Yuki' tightly. 'Yuki' tried her best to act happy while shooting her best death stare at Hope. 'Kate's' eyes were flashing darker.

"OK," said Sesshoumaru. "well anyway I was wondering if you would like to go visit Rin's new club with me tonight." He asked dismissing this unusual predicament.

Hope smiled brightly. "You mean WITH your hair?"

He just shrugged.

Her face fell. "I loved to, really, but I have to show these guys the town tonight." She jerked her thumb at the three behind her. "But maybe I'll catch you there." She grinned at this and gave him a wink.

Sesshoumaru bent down to kiss her lightly. "See you later tonight, but I am guessing we won't be able to spend as much time as usual?" he smirked at her blush. "I guess not." He turned to the others, "I suppose I shall see you all later." And then he walked down the hall.

"You pervert!" thundered Yuka. "You're my brother! You're not suppose to grab me like that!"

"He does it anyway, Yuka," remarked a pissed off Kagome. 'Why didn't she tell me that she was involved?' she crooned.

"Wait, he's your brother? And tell me again why I have to share a room with him," shrieked Hope.

'Here we go again,' smirked Kagome as she prepared the popcorn with Miroku's help.

End for now----------------------------------------------
