Yay! Nine reviews all together! Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya! I'm angry with myself because yesterday, I was going to update another chapter, but I fell asleep and slept for 12 or 13 hours. XX and in the last chapter, I wasn't very descriptive. I didn't say what they were wearing or anything And I'll try to make Hojo nicer and not as dense. It's 7:17 and I have plenty of time to update 3 whole chapters!! LOL, ok, here's chapter 4!
Chapter4
Arriving At the Hotel
When Kagome woke up, the sun wasn't quite as high as it had been when she had fallen asleep. She glanced up at the dashboard to see that it was five thirty. They had left around three forty-five, and would be arriving at the hotel in a few minutes. She felt something soft against her bare legs, and glanced down to see Inuyasha's head lying on her lap. His ear kept on twitching, tickling her leg. She let out a soft giggle and began to softly rub his ear.
"Mmm, Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered in his sleep.
Kagome put her hand over her mouth, trying not to laugh out loud. She began to run her finger through his hair with her other hand, while massaging his ear.
"You awake back there?" Yuki said from her place in the driver's seat. "Everyone else died on me."
Kagome laughed.
"Yep, I'm awake."
"You were the first person to fall asleep. Than you're other friends, than Hojo and Ayume, than that Inuyasha person. By the way, he's totally hot!"
Kagome and Yuki both started giggling.
"Do you know why Hojo was being so mean earlier?" Kagome asked angrily. "That was so rude!"
"Ya I know, but after you fell asleep, he said he was sorry to all of your friends. I guess he was jealous. He he. You know, since Inuyasha is now his rival," Yuki laughed.
Yuki looked back at Kagome in the rear-view mirror and they made eye contact. They both began to giggle again like all little girls did. Inuyasha's ears twitch one more time and than his eyes opened. The first thing he heard was laughing, so he figured whoever was laughing, was laughing at him. He immediately sat up.
"Oh, you're awake," Kagome said cheerfully.
Inuyasha frowned and mumbled, "Yeah."
Yuki looked in the rear-view mirror again, and her eyes widened as she saw two cat-like ears on his head.
'What the?!'
Kagome reached down and put Inuyasha's hat back on his head. She smiled warmly at him, pinching his cheek lightly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Hey girl! Yuki I think it was. When are we arriving at the... hotel?" Inuyasha asked gruffly.
"In probably about ten minutes. Hey, what's with the hostility?"
"Sorry," he grumbled.
Kagome laid her head on his chest and smiled. She listened to his heartbeat.
Thump, thump, thump.
Inuyasha's faced turned a light red and his heartbeat began to pick up.
Thump thump thump!
Kagome silently laughed. Inuyasha looked down at her and put his hand under her chin. He slowly lifted her face off of his chest.
"Kagome... What are you doing?" he asked curiously. Kagome giggled at his clueless expression and decided to show him.
She gently pushed his head down next to her chest, quickly taking off his hat. His face became a deep red as his face pressed up against her, and his ears slowly began to twitch.
"I can hear it... I can hear your heart."
Kagome nodded. Yuki just sat in the driver's seat, completely confused. Was she seeing things? She looked up at the sign that said 'Hotels.' For the very first option, she saw the 'Paradise Hotel.' She forgot all about what she had seen and quickly pulled off the highway and onto the main road.

Koga stood in front of the bone-eaters well, with anger written all over his face. The night when he was in Tarantula's village ran through his head. He growled deeply, refusing to let the tears that threaten to fall escape.
"Kagome, I don't care if I have to travel to the ends of the Earth, but you will be mine!" he yelled.
Koga jumped up on the ledge of the well, cringing as a sharp pain went through his side.
'She pierced my side with her arrow in an attempt to save Inuyasha... She will not be forgiven for that!'
Koga looked down the well, inhaling deeply to make sure it was her scent. Yep, hers along with Inuyasha and some other people.
He quickly jumped into the well.

Yuki, Ayume, Hojo, Kagome, Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, and Shippo (that was fun, lol) all stood in the parking lot, stretching and yawning. Shippo curled up on Kagome's shoulder, not caring what anybody had to say about it, or about his tail. Yuki walked up behind Kagome and grabbed his tail.
"Is this a squirrel?" Yuki asked, bouncing it up and down.
"No Yuki, it's a raccoon," Ayume said, grabbing Shippo's leg.
"I'm a fox!" Shippo yelled.
Yuki and Ayume both jumped back, letting Shippo land on his head.
"I thought he was a stuffed animal!" Yuki cried.
Ayume immediately bent down and picked him up.
"Sorry!"
"Oh my gosh, he's so small!" Yuki screamed.
They both began to smother and hug him.
"Oh my gosh! Kagome he's so cute!" Yuki said amazedly.
"Yeah! Where'd you get him?!" Ayume asked curiously.
"He's my.... Cousin! Yeah, and he's staying with me this summer!" Kagome lied.
"He is soooo cute!" Yuki squealed.
"Like a teddy bear!" Ayume cried.
Shippo just sat there, his eyes swirling.
"Uh, come on now! We got to go get checked in so we can get the good rooms remember!" Kagome said quickly, trying to save Shippo.
Yuki and Ayume paused.
"Oh yeah!"
Yuki and Ayume took off toward the hotel, stopping to tell a bellboy to get their suitcases. They than disappeared into the hotel.
Kagome picked up Shippo and wiped away all of the dirt that was on him.
"Aww, I'm sorry Shippo. My friend's have a problem with not knowing how to handle kids," she said softly.
Shippo rubbed the bump on his head.
"It's okay," he cried, whipping away some tears.
"Excuse me miss, may I take your luggage for you?"
Kagome turned around to see that the bellboy Ayume and Yuki had talked to.
"Uh ya! Thanks!"
Kagome walked over to the car and popped the trunk. Three of the suitcases fell out onto Kagome's foot and she bit her lip.
"Here, let me help."
Kagome expected Inuyasha to be the one who said it, but Hojo walked over beside her instead.
"I'm sorry for being so rude earlier," he whispered.
Kagome nodded. "It's ok."
Hojo and Kagome handed the bellboy their suitcases, one at a time. Inuyasha growled slightly as he saw Hojo's hand accidentally touch Kagome's. The bellboy nodded and than went to push the cart. He struggled, pushing the cart with all of his strength. Instead of the cart moving, he fell flat on his face. Everyone burst out laughing and the bellboy jumped back up, blushing deeply. He began to try and move it again, but Inuyasha pushed him aside and moved it with one hand.
Inuyasha pushed it into the lobby where Ayume and Yuki were.
"I talked to my cuz, and we're in!" Yuki cheered.

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Hojo stood at the door of their room.
"Four-twenty four. Yep, this is it," Miroku sighed, dropping his bag along with everyone else.
"Well, the girls said they would be up soon, but I don't think we should wait for them. They're room is right next to ours, we can manage," Hojo said smiling.
"Whatever," Inuyasha muttered, unlocking and opening the door.
Inuyasha and Miroku stood in the doorway, speechless, while Hojo hurried in and picked his room. The place was huge! There were three smaller rooms inside of that big one, and a small kitchen in it as well. There were two bathrooms. One was on the left as soon as you entered the room and the other one was in the largest room. (confusing sort of) And as soon as you entered, you your right you could see a small version of a living room with a balcony on it. From there, you could see the entire view of the beach.
"This must have cost Lady Kagome and her friends a fortune! We must thank her when we see her again," Miroku thought aloud.
"You're telling me," Inuyasha muttered.
Miroku and Inuyasha slowly went all the way into the room, dropping their bags next to the couch.
"Kagome's time is so amazing," Miroku whispered.
"What do you mean by that?" Hojo asked.
Inuyasha and Miroku looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
'I forgot the little annoyance was here,' he thought.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Miroku lied.
"Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot, but I'm really sorry. Can we put all of that behind us and just be friends?"
Miroku and Inuyasha looked at each other.
"Whatever."
Hojo smiled.
'It's a start.'
Inuyasha walked in one of the rooms, finding Hojo's belongings in it. He went to another one, seeing that it was bigger than the other room had been. He walked in, setting his bag on the bed. The room was comfy. It had a large full size bed in the middle of the room with a small desk next to the bed. There was a dresser in the corner of the room along with a radio on top. Inuyasha stared at it.
"What the hell...."
Inuyasha walked over to the dresser and tried to pick up the mini radio. No good, it was sealed to the dresser so people couldn't steal it. Inuyasha growled. There was nothing and no one in this world that was stronger than him. He grabbed the radio with his other hand and yanked it off of the dresser. There was a loud ripping noise and there was now a large white spot on the large brown dresser.
"Woops," he muttered. He began to fiddle with the strange gadget, trying to figure out how to use it. He was just about to throw it on the ground in defeat until he heard a familiar voice from the other side of the door.
"Where's Inuyasha?" he heard Kagome say from the other side of the door. He made sure his hat was on before he ran out the door.
"Kagome."
She turned around and smiled at Inuyasha.
"Hey there."
"Hey," he said softly, smiling back at him. The only other people in the room, who were Miroku and Hojo, just stood there, watching them. Inuyasha came back down to earth, shaking his head as he realized people were staring at him.
"Where are Sango and the others?" he asked gruffly, trying to make up for showing his soft side.
"Yeah, where are Yuki and Ayume?" Hobo, I mean, Hojo asked.
"They're in the room next door. Yuki and Ayume are showing Sango, Kohaku and Shippo around," Kagome explained, winking at Inuyasha.
"Well, who want something to eat, cause I'm starving!" Hojo exclaimed.
"Pizza?" Miroku asked puzzled.
"Yeah, what kind do you like?" Hojo asked.
"We'll take sausage!" Kagome said quickly, jumping in front of Miroku.
"Okay, well I'm going to see what the others want. I'll be back with in the hour."
Hojo than walked out the door.
"Phew, that was close," Kagome sighed, laying down on the couch. Inuyasha walked over in front of the couch and sat down.
"Come on Inuyasha, be a man!" Miroku yelled, surprising the both of them.
"We all know Lady Kagome is your woman, and yet you continue to be shy around her, and won't show any public affection toward her. Suck up your pride!" Miroku demanded. He grabbed Kagome's hand, setting her up. He than grabbed Inuyasha by the wrist and pulled him onto the couch. He than pushed Kagome's head onto Inuyasha's lap.
"And that is how a couple should sit!"
Kagome blushed slightly.
"Okay, now explain to us Kagome," Miroku said in a calm voice, "What is pizza?"
Kagome's blush faded and she smiled, happy that she could explain something to her feudal friends.
"It's like a big piece of cooked bread with sauce and cheese on it. With any topping you like. It's delicious!"
Inuyasha quickly forgot Miroku was there as Kagome's scent overpowered him. He looked down at her, smiling slightly and began to play with her bangs.
Kagome smiled, reaching forward and grabbing the remote that was on the glass table in front of her. (Wait, wait, wait! Let me explain the layout of the living room! There's a small couch in the room and a glass table in front of that. In front of that is a thirty-inch television. Behind the television is a large glass sliding door, with a balcony. And on both sides of the glass table are two large love seats. There we go! )
She clicked the ON button on the remote, the TV flashing quickly.
"What the hell?!" Miroku yelled.
Pictures began to play across the screen. It was an animal documentary on snakes. There was a close up of a snake, and it was coming closer and closer to the screen. Inuyasha immediately jumped up.
"Take cover Kagome!"
Kagome sweat dropped.
"What? You want me to hide from.... The TV?"
Inuyasha jumped over the table and yelled, "Iron Reaver Soul-"
"SIT BOY!"
"Argh!!"
Miroku jumped up and began to attack the TV himself, but Kagome jumped on his back.
"NO! It's just a TV!! It can't hurt you!" Kagome yelled, trying to get Miroku to calm down. He stumbled backwards and dropped her on the couch.
"What do you mean?"
"It's a television! It's a bunch of people or pictures that people put in a box so you can watch it. It's very, very addictive!" Kagome explained.
Inuyasha slowly got up, turning around and glaring at Kagome.
"You could have just jumped on my back," he growled.
Kagome smiled.
"Sorry!"
"Umm, Inuyasha..."
"Grrr, what is it now?"
"Do you mind if I bunk with you tonight??" she asked shyly.
"What?"
"We're kind of limited on space and... I heard there was going to be a BIG thunderstorm tonight.. So.. can I?"
Inuyasha would have quickly said yes, but Miroku was in the room. He looked over at Miroku who glared right back at him.
"Didn't I tell you that your suppose to treat Kagome with love? If she wishes to sleep with you, than you should quickly oblige!"
Inuyasha sweat dropped.
"O... Kay..."
"Well Miroku, why don't you ask Sango if you can sleep with her than?" Kagome asked slyly.
Miroku blushed.
"What do you mean?! Lady Sango and I are not lovers!"
"Ya, I guess not. But you sure did get jealous when that lord asked her to marry him," Kagome pointed out.
"Uhhh...."
"And I noticed that you haven't hit on a girl or asked her to bare your child since we defeated Naraku."
"Well.... That's only because..."
"And not to mention that I noticed a certain someone with their arms around Sango when I woke up today."
"I.... I...."
"That settles it! If I bunk with Inuyasha tonight, than you have to bunk with Sango!"
Miroku sighed in defeat, while Inuyasha just sat there in-between the two with his hand over Kagome's.
"Fine than..."
"YES!"
