REASONS FOR NOT UPDATING: SPRING BREAK JUST GOT OVER. BETA READERS ARE SLOW, THERE ARE ONLY 5.5 MORE WEEKS OF SCHOOL. I'M TRYING TO FIND A JOB, I NOW HAVE A BOYFRIEND. I'M 14 AND HAVE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE RIDING MY BACK. Thank you for listening to me rant.

Disclaimer: If I owned Inu-chan and co. Sesshoumaru would get Kagome, Naraku would be dead, Kikyo would be killed painfully, and Inuyasha 'sat' many times. Oh wait...Inuyasha's already 'sat' many times....

~*~Last time: "Sesshoumaru-sama. Would you care to join us?" "Not really no." 'Soaps are a universal language.....' 'I'm not getting out until I ride a wave to shore.' "You're not flat enough.""I bet you've never body surfed. That's why you won't come in." "You will regret taunting me human."~*~

~*~Chapter 11: Short-sheeted~*~

"Se..." The Taiyoukai turned around to see Kagome go under the surface of the water over 500 feet away from him.

"Damn." Sesshoumaru growled as he drove under the water. He swore again as he reached the drop off. Through all the saltwater he saw Kagome floating down towards the bottom. Suddenly his tail came back along with his markings and claws, then he suddenly became bigger, his jaw grew and hands became very large paws.

Sesshoumaru now swam towards Kagome as a giant dog, huge paws thrusting him forward faster than any human could swim.

Finally Kagome's body came into view, as did the bottom of the sea floor. Gently Sesshoumaru picked Kagome up in his jaws, trying not to crush her with his fangs. When he was close to the surface he changed back to his human form, as it was probably not a good idea if a huge dog popped out of the ocean. Sesshoumaru dragged Kagome to the shore, her face was white and she wasn't breathing.

"If I have to suffer through these business sharks, so do you." Sesshoumaru growled, pushing on her stomach to get the water out. Not getting a response Sesshoumaru pinched her nose shut and gave Kagome CPR.

Suddenly the miko gagged and rolled over, spitting up saltwater through her mouth and nose. Kagome lay there for a couple moments, hacking up the water in her lungs. She started shivering, and it wasn't from the cold.

"I thought I was dead." She said quietly.

"So did I." Kagome looked up at the speaker, Sesshoumaru's hair as dripping wet, his breathing was faster than normal and his tail looked like a wet cat.

"Sesshou....Sesshoumaru?" Kagome wondered.

"That is my name, yes." He replied. "Are you alright?"

"Wait...wait....you saved me?"
"Yes."

"I must be dead than." Kagome said, trying to sit up.

"What makes you think that? Surely if you are dead than I must be as well, and I assure you, neither your nor I are dead." Sesshoumaru said.

"Then....."

"It's quite simple Kagome, I swam after you, dragged you back and gave you CPR." Sesshoumaru said.

"What?" Kagome gasped, he gave her CPR?!

"I don't like to repeat myself."

"You.....but...why?" Kagome asked.

"If I have to suffer through these businessmen then so do you." Sesshoumaru said. "We should go back to our room before someone sees my tail and markings." Kagome was surprised when he wrapped her in her towel and carried her back to their room.

"Sesshoumaru.....I can walk...." Kagome said, even thought she wasn't sure if she could.

"Indeed." He replied, setting foot into their room and putting Kagome on her bed.

"Wait...what are you doing?" Kagome asked as he started going through her suitcase.

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep in your wet swimsuit." Sesshoumaru answered.

"Get out of my suitcase!" Kagome tried to yell, but found her voice weak. Sesshoumaru didn't listen and continued going through her bag until he found some warmer clothes for her to wear.

"Change." He said, going into the bathroom to change into something more comfortable himself. Kagome mumbled something about perverted Taiyoukais and changed into her sweatshirt and pants, glad her mother had made her pack them.

Sesshoumaru came out in another kimono that looked like the one that he had worn 500 years ago and was drying his tail with a towel. Kagome wrapped herself in a blanket and turned the TV on while drying her own hair with a towel.
"So...umm....how-"Kagome started, but was cut off by the Taiyoukai.

"Did I catch up with you?" Sesshoumaru finished for her, Kagome nodded. "I changed forms." He said simply, picking up the phone for room service. Then his tail and markings went away....at least for the moment.

A couple minutes later there was a knock on their door and a bellboy wheeled in a bunch of plates full of food, the boy lingered for a moment, clearly looking for a tip. Sesshoumaru gave him an icy glare and the boy hurried out of the room.

"You didn't have to....." Kagome said, digging into the food hungrily.

"I didn't. But I'm not paying for room service." Sesshoumaru said, filling his plate with shrimp and coconuts. For awhile they watched the Portuguese news, wondering what was being said.

Kagome jumped when there was a knock at the door. Sesshoumaru growled and got up, glaring at the businessmen.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, we were-"

"I thought you said you would leave me alone the rest of the week." Sesshoumaru growled.

"We were wondering if you would like to go on a deep-sea fishing trip with us tomorrow, you don't have to pay anything of course." One of the men said. Kagome thought over this, Sesshoumaru would be gone for most of the day....then an evil plan formed in her mind.

"I'm sure he'd love to go!" Kagome chirped.

"What?" Sesshoumaru said, looking from Kagome to the men, then back at Kagome.

"I don't like to repeat myself." Kagome answered.

"Okay then! We'll be back bright and early tomorrow morning!" The men said, going back to their rooms. Sesshoumaru turned back to Kagome with a growl.

"If I didn't have to deal with these...sharks...for the rest of week, your head would be rolling." The Taiyoukai growled. Kagome could tell by the not-so-icy glare that he wouldn't really carry out with his threat.

"I'm sorry, but you never know. You might catch something big!" Kagome said, "Then you can have the chefs cook it and we can all have it for dinner."

"I assure you, we aren't going to catch anything." Sesshoumaru said, laying on his bed and opening a book. ~*~

The next morning Kagome awoke to another beautiful sunrise. The golds and vibrant pinks shone through the window like painted glass. The warm sunlight of late dawn blanketed Kagome, making her raven hair shine like the sun that was still rising.

'What time is it?' Kagome thought, slowly waking up. She rolled over and felt something in her hand. Blinking, she saw a piece of paper that had been left on her pillow.

'Kagome,'

'Was dragged on your foolish fishing trip, you will pay. Will hopefully be back late noon, pray the water doesn't get to bloody with 'shark' blood.'

Kagome blinked at the note a couple of times, still not quite awake. After a semi-cold shower Kagome lumbered down to eat breakfast, the note and key to their room in hand. She ate alone, which she was just a bit disappointed at, but the food was as wonderful tasting as it had been the morning before.

After breakfast Kagome walked along the beach for awhile, remembering what had happened the day before....and looking out for sand crabs.

'He saved me....again....' Kagome thought, recalling the moment when she thought that she wasn't going to make it and then blackness over took her. 'Still.....that won't stop me from having fun this week.' Kagome grinned evilly and walked back to their room, looking for the book she had brought with her. While digging through her bag, an envelope dropped to the floor.

'Kagome,'

'Hopefully you can find something entertaining to do with this.'

Sesshoumaru's name was signed at the bottom, and right below that the key to the businessmen's room was taped.

"He stole my idea...." Kagome said, frowning. Even so, she picked up the key and looked at it, evil ideas coming into her head. 'And he said they wouldn't be back until late noon....I have about 3 hours to unleash Hell on them.....'

Kagome waited until the cleaning crew were done with their rounds and quietly unlocked the businessmen's's door, almost gagging at how neat it was. Kagome saw that there were 4 one person beds, unlike her room, were there were two 2 person beds. She scouted their room for awhile, looking for anything that could be used.

Finally Kagome decided on some of the old pranks, and some new ones. Quickly going to the snack machine in the lobby, Kagome ordered 4 bags of chips and brought them back to the room. The next step was to take all the food out of their refrigerator, which they would have to pay for.

Kagome left one bottle of water in their fridge, which was pointless as water was free. She replaced the soap bars in the bathroom with the Snickers bars, but not before eating a couple herself.

Then Kagome short-sheeted all the beds, then added sand from the beach and broken up chips.

~*~

"Thank the Kami." Sesshoumaru muttered, glad to see land after a long day of being stuck in a tiny boat with business sharks. Waiting for the boat on the shore was Kagome, waving and then going back to the sand castle she had been invited to build with a couple 7 year olds.

"Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said, getting up and bowing to the children, who shrugged and continued building. As soon as the boat landed Sesshoumaru got off, ignoring the men who needed help off the boat.

"Did you enjoy your day alone?" Sesshoumaru asked. Kagome nodded and laughed as one of the men fell into the water while trying to get out of the boat.

"Did you catch anything?" Kagome asked.

"No. And I will get you back for sending me on that god-awful trip." Sesshoumaru growled.

"I think what I did today will make up for sending you on that so- called 'god-awful' trip." Kagome chirped.

~*~

Dinner was full of talking, Sesshoumaru had found a table that only fit 2 people, which Kagome was glad about, but the men sat close by. Once again her plate was full of exotic foods, and every so often Kagome would look at the businessmen and couldn't help but snicker at what awaited them in their room.

"Did you get my note?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"Yup, don't worry, I had lots of fun." Kagome answered. Sesshoumaru and Kagome left early for bed, but were really getting front row seats for the show that was about to unfold. Both sat near the wall, wanting to hear every word that went by.

"What the?!" One man said, Kagome giggled, he must have found the butter on the door handle.

"It must have been that little wench that follows Sesshoumaru around." Another man said. Kagome growled, and to her surprise, so did Sesshoumaru.

"Whatever, we still need him to sign this deal, then we can do what we want with her. I'm going to clean up." Another man said, beside her Kagome saw Sesshoumaru smirk. Like he would let these...filthy humans, take over GT.

"What the hell?!" The same man yelled.

"What did you do?" Sesshoumaru asked Kagome, who was giggling.

"Replaced the soap with Snickers bars." Kagome answered, putting her ear back to the wall.

"What is it?" The 3rd man asked.

"This!" Yelled man Kagome labeled as number 2. "Somehow the soap was replaced with....candy bars!"

"It's alright, we can fire her or do something worse when we get GT." Man number 4 said.

Then Kagome burst out laughing when the men climbed into their beds, only to find them short-sheeted and full of chips. Sesshoumaru smirked, glad that she had done something destructive to their room.

"You could have done worse." Sesshoumaru commented, listening to the men next door swear and yell.

"I didn't want to hurt them....badly." Kagome said, still laughing.

Sesshoumaru nodded, going into the bathroom and coming out with another sleeping kimono on. Kagome changed next and climbed into her bed, watching as Sesshoumaru climbed into his and turned the light off.

"Kagome." He said quietly. Kagome looked at him innocently through the dark.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Do you wish for an early death?" He asked, growling softly.

"Not really no." Kagome said, trying to silence a laugh.

"Then I suggest you not play any more jokes on me." Sesshoumaru said.

The businessmen's's beds weren't the only she had short-sheeted. ~*~End Chapter~*~

WD: I love practical jokes! In Mexico I was with my aunt, uncle, cousin, my aunt's sister and her husband. It was great, we played jokes on each other the whole time we were there! From chips in the bed to a coconut in their toilet. My cousin and I were the ones doing the dirty work, you know, sneaking the coconut into the toilet while the other one kept my aunt busy. Then were would switch sides and put chips in my aunt's sister's bed. We were double-crossers all the way.

~*~Reviews~*~P.S: If you can think of any good not to harmful jokes send them in with your review and you might see Kagome pull them off~*~

HieilovesBotan: Don't worry, Kagome didn't die, and the businessmen get payback and then some.

Sukera: Cliffhangers are good. They leave you waiting for more and more and more. Umm....yeah....okay...have fun eating sugar again!

Shinna: I'll try to update as soon as I can. Provided that my beta readers get the chapters I send them.

C-dog: Hope your dream came true. CPR is a great thing......*evil grin*

Mystic Hanyou: It's okay if their bill is huge, Sesshou-chan isn't paying for it. They could get something really high priced and the other people would have to pay for it.

Kay's Craft: I know...the chapter was kinda short. Sorry about that.

Sihara: Did you really think that Sesshou-chan would let Kagome drown, and have to spend the rest of the week with those humans?

Megan Consoer: I'm in the process of writing at the very moment.

Tbiris: He's up to something alright, when is he not up to something?

Skitzoflame: I like making her suffer, it's fun. And it gives Sesshou-chan a chance to save her.

Hitomi Fanel: The Other Taiyoukai Part II will hopefully be up in a couple weeks....hopefully...if I don't go through my 'I'm depressed and don't wanna write' moods.
