Ch. 2: The Planning
"Well, I suppose you don't have to go to college," Kagome's mom said jokingly.
"Mom! I'm serious about this! Can they come or not?" Kagome replied indignantly, growing more impatient.
"Yeah, Mom. Please, oh, please!" Sota pleaded, his eyes growing huge with anticipation.
Kagome's grandpa watched all this with no complaints, but she was aware of him muttering something along the lines of, "Filthy demons…"
"I suppose so…" Mrs. Higurashi finally said. Actually, the family was pretty wealthy, but this trip would cause a dent in their money supply. "But, Kagome, you must get a summer job when we get back."
"Sure! I'll do anything!" Kagome squealed. Just as long as I don't end up working at WacDonalds…
"I'm so happy! I can't wait for next week! Not only are we going to Disneyland, all the way in California, but we're going with Inuyasha and the others!" Sota screeched. I'll get to be with Inuyasha- my hero. He's the greatest.
Kagome giggled in delight. "Sota, you looked just like Shippo did when I told him the plan."
"Shippo?" Sota asked, looking up at his big sis, waiting for an explanation.
"Remember I told you about him? He's the little kitsune youkai."
"Ah, yes! A fox demon- awesome!"
Kagome skipped out of the room calling, "I'm going back to the Sengoku Jidai! I'll return soon!"

"Hairpane?"
"Teem Park?"
"Dizzyland?"
"Mew?"
Miroku, Sango, Myouga, and Kirara stared at Inuyasha and Shippo questionably, who were at the moment, staring at the floor, blushing. It had taken about an hour to explain everything and they hadn't even done it right.
"Um…well…you see…" they stammered.
"It's airplane, theme Park, and Disneyland."
Everyone turned to see Kagome standing in the doorway; a look of disgust on her face at Inuyasha and Shippo's horrid memories. Sighing, she set down her backpack.
"Let me explain the plan to all of you," she said, winking at Shippo, who had a silly grin plastered on his face. Everyone leaned in to her Kagome's idea that she had already attempted to explain to her youkai companions…

"And so, my mom said that you guys can come! Isn't that great?!" Kagome finished, looking at her friends excitedly.
Shippo started jumping up and down in enthusiasm, Miroku pondered to himself, Inuyasha kept his "I-don't-care-about-anything" attitude, Sango half-grinned, Myoga scratched his head, and Kirara "mewed".
Kagome's cheerful smile slowly started to fade from her face as she observed her companions reactions. "…Not exactly the response I wanted guys."
"No offense meant, Lady Kagome, but do you honestly think an outrageous plan like this is going to work? I mean, we don't even know if the well would work for the rest of us!" Miroku stated quietly. (A/N But you know it will, muahaha! It's my fanfic, my rules.)
"It's not outrageous! And I'm pretty sure the well will work…" Kagome said, still convinced that her plan was fool-proof.
"Yeah, whatever, baka," Inuyasha muttered.
Kagome whirled on him. "What was that?"
"Nothing, just forget it."
"Did you just called me a baka?!" (A/N Japanese for "idiot".)
Sweat started to form as Inuyasha began to comprehend what was about to happen. "Uh..."
"SIT BOY!"

Shippo had begged Kagome to explain more about Disneyland and California. The others, including a sore Inuyasha, sat and listened.
"Well, let's see… Oh! For one thing, the people in California speak a language called English. I can speak it pretty well already, which means that I can help you guys," Kagome explained hurriedly, just in case they changed their minds at the prospect of going somewhere where the language was different.
"English? In all my travels, I have never heard of such a thing," Myoga piped up, his beady eyes full of interest.
"Well, we speak Japanese, and the people in California speak English- at least most of them," Kagome struggled to explain. This is going to be difficult… Then, a thought struck her. "Hey, here's an idea! I have it somewhere in here…" Kagome rummaged through her bag for a while, until she brought out a strange contraption. It had a "vine" coming out of it, which was attached to two small circular devices.
"What in seven hells is that thing?!" Sango asked.
Kirara crept from behind the demon exterminator and cautiously batted the "vine".
Kagome giggled. "This is a CD player."
"And what does this CD player do?"
"It plays CDs of course!" Ignoring a very confused Sango, Kagome pushed a button on the front of the player, causing it to open. Inside, there was a shiny circle with inscriptions on it. "There's already a CD in here, and…yep! It's the one I wanted." She shut the player and handed it to a stunned demon exterminator. "This one teaches you English phrases and simple words. I learned the basics very quickly from this thing. I know we only have a week until the big trip, but I'm positive that you guys can learn some simple sentences and words that can help you a lot."
Sango stared at the player, still shocked. "But… how does it work?"
Kagome gently placed the headphones on Sango's ears and pressed "PLAY". Sango was flabbergasted! The things on her ears were talking to her! They were speaking in Japanese, but also in another language she couldn't determine.
This must be English, she thought. The headphones continued talking: "Introduction to English: The Basics. 'Hai' is 'yes' in English…"

Once again, I am so sorry that this chapter isn't that long and that I took so long to type it! I'm not out of ideas, I just can't get myself to sit and type, even though I love it… Oh, well! I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, but don't forget, I'm working on two stories at the moment!
