AN: Well, in my last chapter, my muses decided to come back...but then they decided to leave again. So I wrote the 3rd chapter to A Mistake Gone Right without them. But they decided to come back for a little while and they gave me a vague idea of what to write, so I hope it turns out good...it should, though...right, Hinote and Kasai??
Hinote: It'll be the best chapter we've ever written!
Kasai: Yeah, you better be grateful you have us!
kyuuka: Guys, you left me!!
Hinote: ::shrugs:: We were tired of your sucky writing.
Kasai: And your inability to think properly.
Hinote: But we're here now, aren't we?
Kasai: We sure are, and this should be a good chapter...unless you interfere.
kyuuka: Fine, I'll stay out of the way...but this is my story! What should I do, just stand here?
Hinote: Make yourself useful...
Kasai: And do the disclaimer.
kyuuka: ::sighs: Fine, but if this chapter sucks, I'm rewriting it!
Disclaimer: ::kyuuka enters and steps up to a microphone:: Hello, I know you all wanted me to write another chapter, but Hinote and Kasai decided to take over for me. And as you all know, neither I, nor my imaginary muses, Hinote and Kasai, own Inuyasha and friends. They strictly belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I do, however, own Okibi and those sorry excuses for muses...did I just rhyme? ::a giant pencil hits kyuuka in the head as a shout is heard::
Hinote: Just do the disclaimer, already, will ya?
kyuuka: ::sigh:: Well, I guess that's it. Please enjoy this lovely chapter that Hinote and Kasai have written.
Before I go on, I noticed I made a big mistake in my last chapter. I had said that Sango had lost her father and brother, but I also said she has a little brother named Kohaku. For the sake of the story, Kohaku is still alive, along with Sango's mother, but her father and a different brother were killed. I really wish I caught that earlier or I had a beta reader. If you do want to be my beta reader, just review and tell me, ok? Thanks, I'm really sick of all these stupid mistakes I make!
Last Chapter:
"Hello?...Yes, this is Inuyasha...Oh, hi!...Really?...Yeah, I'll tell them...Tomorrow should be fine...See ya then!...Bye!" He hung up the phone and turned around to the interested spectators. He smiled and paused a while longer before making his announcement.
"We got the jobs!"
Stealing Four Souls and a Few Hearts
Chapter 9: Marker Madness
"We got the jobs!?" repeated an excited Kagome.
"Yeah, we got the jobs. We have to be at the camp tomorrow at 8:00 AM. He said we could enroll Shippo and Rin. He also said that if you wanted to, Souta and Kohaku could enroll as well." Inuyasha explained.
Kagome and Sango looked at each other and smiled. They nodded their heads and turned back to Inuyasha.
"So we just have to bring them when we meet at the camp tomorrow?" questioned Sango. Inuyasha nodded and the girls gave shouts of joy. Inuyasha wondered why they were so happy. If he had a little brother, he wouldn't want him to be at his place of work all the time.
"Where are you guys working at?" interrupted Okibi.
"Oh, we're working at a summer camp," explained Kagome.
Okibi's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Can I come too!? Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I?" she pleaded.
"I suppose you could come. You might not be able to work there, but it's something to keep from being bored," suggested Miroku.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Okibi shouted as she engulfed Inuyasha, Miroku, Kagome, and Sango in a group hug.
"You're...wel-welcome..." Inuyasha managed to choke out as Okibi released them from her death grip.
"So what time do we have to be there? I have to make sure I'm ready!"
"We have to be there at eight in the morning. But, Okibi, where...where are you staying at?" pondered Kagome.
Okibi looked thoughtful for a moment before she nodded her head, as if coming to a decision. "Well, I usually just sleep out in the feudal replica area. It's got great trees for sleeping and sometimes I'm allowed to sleep in one of the huts!" Okibi explained.
"The feudal replica area? Isn't that where we first saw you?" asked Inuyasha.
"It sure is!" exclaimed Okibi as she let out a loud laugh.
"Why don't you stay at my house?" questioned Kagome. "It'll be great, and we can go there together."
Okibi looked thoughtful for a minute as she put her index finger up to her chin. She then broke out a wide smile and lowered her finger. "Okay!"
"Great!" Kagome said, smiling back. Sesshomaru looked on in disgust. This Okibi was greatly annoying him. He stood up and walked to his room, leaving the five teens with Shippo and Rin (AN: Nope, I haven't forgotten about them!). Shippo cleared his throat, gaining their attention.
He paused for a moment as they all stared at him. "What is going on!?" he yelled.
"We have jobs at a summer camp for kids," said Sango, smiling.
Shippo's and Rin's eyes widened with happiness. "Can we come too!?" they both asked at the same time.
"Of course you can come!" stated Kagome. Rin and Shippo shouted for joy, much like Kagome and Sango had earlier.
"Well, guys, it's only 12:53, and we have nothing to do today. Why don't we do something fun?" Inuyasha suggested.
"Ooh, ooh! Let's go bowling!" shouted Sango.
"Yeah, bowling's always fun!" agreed Okibi.
"Okay, bowling it is!" Kagome said.
"Okay, I'm gonna write a note to Sesshomaru to tell him where we are. If we don't and he sees that Rin is gone, he'll be pissed off," explained Inuyasha, grabbing a nearby marker and pad of paper. He began to write when he noticed Kagome looking over his shoulder.
"What do you want, wench?" he asked, turning around and accidentally marking her face with the purple marker. Kagome gasped and Inuyasha laughed hysterically. "You look like Hitler!" he managed between laughs. Kagome looked around and noticed that everyone else was holding in their laughter as well.
"Inuyasha you are soooo dead!!" shouted Kagome, lunging at him. He moved out of the way in time and she hit the floor. She stood up while growling. Then she lunged at him again and this time got a direct hit as she wrestled him to the floor and sat on him. She reached for the marker, but he pulled away. After a couple of minutes of trying to get the marker from Inuyasha, she finally grabbed his wrist and pulled the marker away from him and held it menacingly over his head.
"What are you doing!?" he shouted, fear apparent in his shaky voice. Kagome only smirked and tried to draw on his face, but his hands were free and he kept shoving her hands away. She caught one of his hands in hers and put it under one of her knees as she tried to get the other hand. She finally managed to restrain that hand as well and began drawing all over his face. She laughed maniacally as she first drew little whiskers and then started erratically marking his face. He managed to free one of his hands and push her off of him. He stood up in a fighting stance as she did as well. He lunged at her, grabbing for the marker and managing to pull it away before he backed up in a fighting stance with a smirk on his face. Kagome was scared, but she stood her ground as everyone watched in amusement. They had somehow managed to get popcorn and began eating it while watching the marker fight.
"Go get him, Kags!" shouted Sango in encouragement.
"Yeah, you can do it!" shouted Miroku in imitation of the guy in 'The Waterboy'.
"Kick him where it hurts most!" yelled Okibi, punching her fist high into the air.
"That's not a bad idea," agreed Kagome now smirking at Inuyasha's scared face. He dropped the marker and ran for his room. Kagome ran after him, making sure to pick up the marker.
"Come on, let's follow 'em!" shouted Shippo, running after the two teens. They all ran in the direction Inuyasha and Kagome had, but found Inuyasha's room locked. They all put their ears to the door and listened intently to what was happening inside.
"Give up?" they heard Kagome ask Inuyasha.
"Never!" Inuyasha shouted back. Unseen to the uh...listeners, though, Inuyasha had pulled out a blue marker. He lunged at Kagome and they heard several crashes and thuds.
"Who do you think is winning?" questioned Rin. They all shrugged. They could only hope Kagome had gotten the upper hand. They didn't know how right they were.
Inside the room, Kagome had again managed to pin Inuyasha down and sit on him. She also managed to restrain his hands underneath her knees after gaining control of his marker as well. She now had double the ammo and a psychotic look on her face. She began to draw all over his face again when he managed to pull his arms out. When he began trying to push her off of him, she made marks all over his arms as well.
The people listening on the other side heard Inuyasha's screams and Kagome's maniacal laughter.
"I think it's safe to say that Kagome is winning," said Okibi, her ear still trained on the door.
"I wanna see what's happening!" complained Shippo. Okibi smirked.
"Okay, let me open the door," she said as she backed up. "You guys might want to move," she said. They did as they were told and backed away from the door. Then Okibi ran full force against the door, knocking it off its hinges as it fell forward with a loud thud. She wiped off her hands and smiled. "Door's open!"
When the door landed, Kagome and Inuyasha stopped mid-fight to stare at the people on the other side.
"Hi guys, who's winning?" asked an interested Miroku. They ignored the question and went back to their fight as the spectators filed in, sitting on Inuyasha's bed. Inuyasha managed to knock both markers out of Kagome's grasp and they rolled to the other side of the room. Kagome looked over at the markers and then at Inuyasha's smirking face. At first she was mad but when she examined Inuyasha's face she slowly cracked a smile and began giggling softly. Her laughter increased as she began laughing so hard that tears came to her eyes. Inuyasha looked confused now and as she slowly stopped laughing, she stood up and helped Inuyasha up as well. She dragged him to the bathroom and made him look in the mirror. The shocked expression on his face was priceless and she cracked up again. His face looked like a Picasso painting, with blue and purple streaks all over him. It was apparent that Kagome had won their little match as she only had one mark on her. She smirked and grabbed a washcloth and cleaned off the mark on her face. She then left him standing in the bathroom as she went back to his room where the others were waiting. She turned around when she heard the bathroom door shut and lock and the shower come on. She turned back to her friends.
"He might take a while, why don't we watch a movie?" she suggested, still smirking.
"Great idea!" shouted Okibi as she ran back to the living room followed by a laughing Rin and Shippo and flopped on the couch.
"We might want to put his door back up," suggested Sango, indicating the door.
Kagome smiled. "Do you think we should?"
Sango smirked and said, "Nope, let's go watch that movie." And Kagome and Sango ran back to the living room, sitting on the couch as well.
"Wait for me!" yelled Miroku as he ran after them. There were no more seats on the couch so he sat on the floor.
"Here, Miroku, take my spot!" Kagome said getting up from her spot which happened to be right next to Sango.
"No, it's ok, I'm fine on the floor," he said.
"No, I insist," Kagome said forcefully as she pushed him into her spot. Sango just glared at Kagome who stuck out her tongue.
"What movie should we watch?" asked Okibi.
"Hmmm, how about...50 First Dates?" suggested Kagome with a strange evil sparkle in her eyes.
"Yeah, that's a good movie!" shouted Sango in excitement, not knowing of Kagome's evil plan. Kagome popped in the movie and pressed start after turning on the TV. They watched the movie, laughing at all the funny parts, and awwwing at all the cute parts.
"I wish someone loved me that much!" said Sango absent-mindedly.
"Someone does love you that much," replied Miroku before he could catch himself. He gasped and covered his mouth with his hands as Sango stared at him, dumbstruck.
"W-who loves m-me that m-much?" she questioned with hope in her voice.
Miroku sighed. "Me," he muttered. Sango's face brightened.
"R-really?"
"Yes, I do," said Miroku, sadness apparent in his voice. Sango put her mouth up to his ear.
"I love you too," she whispered. Miroku looked at her in amazement before smiling. He leaned close to her and brushed his lips lightly over hers before pulling back. Sango blushed and they leaned in close for another kiss.
"Get a room you two!" shouted Inuyasha as he entered the room. They quickly pulled away from each other and blushed.
"Hey Inuyasha, you missed a spot!" yelled Kagome. He just growled and threw a pillow at her.
"Can we go bowling now?" interrupted Okibi before Kagome could retaliate with a couch pillow.
"Yeah, let's go!" agreed Shippo as they raced out to Inuyasha's car. They all followed, ready for a fun time bowling.
----2 hours later, in bowling alley parking lot----
"You cheated and you know it, Inuyasha!"
"Feh! You're just mad because I'm better than you!" Kagome rolled her eyes as she got in the car. Everyone followed suit and Inuyasha started it up. They had had a fun time bowling, even if Kagome claimed Inuyasha cheated. Inuyasha got first place, beating Kagome by only one point. Okibi came in third, followed by Sango, then Shippo, Rin, and finally Miroku. Apparently, Miroku was a terrible bowler.
Okibi yawned, "Let's just go home, guys. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to your jobs."
"It's only six o'clock," protested Inuyasha. (AN: yes, they planned on bowling at 1:00, but the marker fight lasted an hour, let's say, and the movie lasted 2 hours. Then they went bowling for 2 hours. Yeah, I know, it's kinda weird, Inuyasha taking a 2 hour shower, but uh...he fixed his door too, ok? Hehe, yeah, that works.)
"Yeah, but I'm sure we're all tired," explained Okibi, yawning again.
"Yeah, she's right," said Miroku, contagiously yawning. (AN: yes, yawns are contagious. Trust me, I know)
"Fine, I'll take you guys home," said Inuyasha. He drove for a while before pulling into a driveway.
"Bye guys," Sango said as she climbed out of the car and walked to the door. Inuyasha pulled out and continued on, dropping off Miroku. He then pulled into Kagome's driveway.
"See ya later guys!" Kagome said getting out of the car followed by Okibi.
"See ya tomorrow!" Inuyasha yelled as he sped away with only the 2 little kids to take to his house. Okibi followed Kagome into her house.
"Mom, Souta, Grandpa, I'm home!" shouted Kagome as she entered.
"Oh hi, dear," Kagome's mom said from the kitchen. "You Grandpa and Souta went fishing for a little while, but they should be home in about an hour or two," she explained as Kagome and Okibi entered the kitchen.
"Making dinner?" questioned Kagome as her mom looked up.
"Yes, dear. Oh, and who's your friend?"
"Oh yeah, Mom, this is Okibi. She's part demon, like Inuyasha. You remember him right?"
"How could I forget?" she replied cheerfully.
----Flashback----
"Hey Mom, we're going to go swimming, I gotta go change real quick!" Kagome shouted as she ran through the front door and up the stairs, leaving Inuyasha standing alone in the living room.
"Okay, dear!" Her mother replied as she walked into the living room. "Hello, there, you must be one of Kagome's friends! I'm her mother," she introduced herself as she stuck out her hand.
"Inuyasha," he replied simply, grabbing her hand and shaking it. Kagome's mom examined Inuyasha.
"Are you going to a costume party?"
"Oh, no, I'm half demon," he explained, hoping she wouldn't be scared of him. She only smiled.
"Your ears are just the cutest things!" she said while reaching up and rubbing his ears. Inuyasha tried to pull away, but it felt so good when people rubbed his ears. Kagome came down the stairs.
"Mom! He's my friend, what are you doing?" Kagome asked while removing her mother's hands from Inuyasha's ears.
"I couldn't resist, dear!" Her mother explained as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Ok, well we gotta go, I'll see you later!" Kagome yelled while pushing Inuyasha out of her house and following suit.
----End Flashback----
"Well, anyway, Okibi's going to spend the night and tomorrow we're leaving early in the morning because I got the job I told you about!" Kagome said excitedly.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
"Yeah, and Souta can enroll. Kohaku's going to go too, so he could have a friend!" Kagome said.
"Ok, I'll tell him when he gets home."
"Thanks Mom!" shouted Kagome as she ran upstairs, pulling Okibi with her. "This is my room," she said opening a door. "Now let's go to sleep. I don't want to be late on my first day at work!" she said. Okibi nodded and Kagome pulled out some blankets and such and laid them out on the floor. "You can pick if you want to sleep on the bed or the floor."
"I'll sleep on the floor," Okibi said happily as she dove under the blankets and closed her eyes, instantly falling asleep. Kagome smiled and turned out the light, climbing into her own bed and falling asleep almost as fast as Okibi had.
AN: Well, that's that chapter. It's the longest chapter I've written! It's over 3000 words, so feel special, people! Hinote and Kasai only wrote up to the part where Shippo and Rin shouted for joy in the beginning. Then I had to tie them up because they couldn't think of anything and wouldn't let me help, even though I had the great marker fight idea! If you're wondering how I came up with that, yesterday my brother marked me with a marker and said I looked like Hitler, so I got him back. He had marker all over him and I only had that first mark! He still claims he won...yeah right! Anyway, time for Reviewer Responses!!
