Kagome regarded the scene before her as if it were satan and a horde of little hell-elves on the train, and not Inuyasha and his stupid monkies. Glaring as if satan/Inuyasha had eaten her mother and her mother's first-born-child, ironically Kagome herself, she turned to a random person and grabbed the tranq gun out of their hands. The person was convinently attempting to poach elephants elsewhere in the zoo, and so by stealing the illegal weapon from the passerby Kagome not only righted her staff situation but stopped a federal crime. We should all pause and give her a happy little medal. The medal says 'w00t'.
The train drew close to where she was standing and she opened fire.
Damnit, I shot satan but he just won't die yet. I must need to hit his head or something.
Suddenly, Inuyasha knew what it felt like to have a tranq dart through one of his puppy ears. (Fangirls: ::tackle Tsuki:: how could you?!?!) Before he could ponder why it was there, he fell to the ground—IRONICALLY ON TOP OF THE 'GO' BUTTON!!!
RUN AWAY TRAIN!!!!!
Kikyo-the-monkey paused and looked at her fallen Inuyasha-lover. "Crazy mate, why do you fall to sleep now?" she grunted in monkey-speak.
Kagome growled at the sound. "Speak no evil," she muttered, shooting the insane monkey down. "See no evil," she continued as Miroku approached, presumably to stop her. "Hear no evil," she finished, turning to Keade as the old woman hobbled up.
"Kagome, ye cannot shoot me!"
The staff director's brain imploded as she tried to process the word 'ye'. Instead of helping the girl up, Keade gave her an evil look and regarded the motion-sick monkies continuing past on the train.
"I...I'm so sorry...I don't know what came over me...I just...I NEED TO PLAY SOME MARIO DUCK HUNTER!" Kagome cried, fingers twitching as she reached for her fallen tranq gun.
"Ye will not be playing anything except for simon says for the next few weeks Kagome. This is unforgivable. Look at what you have done to poor Inuyasha."
Kagome turned to look at him with an open-mouthed stupor. "He's...he's awake...and...MAKING OUT WITH A MONKEY?! WHAT THE HELL, WHERE'S THAT GUN?!"
"KAGOME, IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" he yelled, pushing the amorus Kikyo away from him.
She growled some more and groped for the tranq, but Keade kicked it out of her reach. "Ye are now in charge of the babysitting department, Kagome."
"Oh, where's the second clipboard?"
"Ye are the only person running the daycare. It used to be my job, but now I shall be watching ye instead. And...your go-kart is mine."
"Oh well, that thing's possessed anyway. It ran me over the other day."
Keade twitched a little bit and looked at her watch. "They're arriving in a moment or two. Be at the gate, and keep the little rascals happy."
Kagome nodded, grabbed her clipboard, and headed for the front gate.

Inuyasha realized that he was on an out-of-control train. He also realized that when Kagome tranqued him, he landed on the 'go' button and sort of got it stuck. Plus, Kikyo had decided to make herself a skirt from his hair, so the monkey was randomly attacking him.
There was only one manly way out of his situation, and he would be the manly man to take it.
Saving face with Kikyo, he would make it look like he fell out of the side of the train. With proper timing, it would work just fine.
Inuyasha flung himself off the side of the train.
Several monkies looked on as Kikyo squealed in anguish over her lost mate. Now, her silver skirt was all she had left to remember him by. She would treasure it and pass it on to her young for generations to come. Yes, he had been her one true love.
Inuyasha made a fast escape for the staff building before one of his co-workers saw that he had left the monkies alone, and before the monkies saw that he wasn't dead. Entering the building, he thought that he would be alone.
Sadly, Keade was waiting in the shadows for the hanyou to enter. When she saw that he had snuck into the building, she melted out of her dark refuge to deliver...orders.
"Inuyasha."
"AUGH!" he exclaimed, jumping out of his skin. "I...thought I have...given me a...heart attack..."
"Ye will be moving all of Lady Sango's belongings from Kagome's room to Kagura's."
Inuyasha blinked. "Will I get beat up for it?" he asked slowly.
Keade growled in anger. "Do as ye are told, Inuyasha."
He gulped and walked into Sango and Kagome's room.

Kagome blinked as a small ball of brown fur attached itself to her kneecaps. Wondering what the creature was and how it had escaped, and vowing to kill it if it was that supid monkey, she pried it off her legs and held it up to her eyes.
"I'm Shipppou and I'm seven and a half years old, and you're the new daycare lady, and I drove the last one crazy and made her quit, but you're really nice and not mean like that old hag, so we're gonna be best friends forever and ever, aren't we? We should go do something fun, like throw rocks at the monkies or terrorize visitors and catch peacocks! Why don't we go for a swim in the fountain over there? I don't have my bathing suit but we can pretend it's like a bath, and no one will really care! So why aren't you talking new best friend? What's your name? Do you like ice cream? Can I have some ice cream—buy me ice cream! I want to ride the giraffes! Take me to the monkies, I want to throw some rocks! Or are we coloring today like every day, because I hate coloring pictures and I'll drive you crazy too if you make me color in fishies every single day! Give me ice cream!"
Kagome was slightly disturbed by the speed at which the words passed from Shippou's mouth, but didn't really respond to him. She was feeling mean and decided that not patronizing the kid would be the best way to keep him happy.
Standing off to the side and scowling at the hyperactive seven-and-a-half year old was a small green child, with circular gold eyes and a strange little staff.
"What's your name?" Kagome asked the little weird kid.
"Jaken," he replied simply.
Kagome sighed and took Jaken and Shippou's hands. "Let's go see if the train is cleared up yet, guys."

It was a tired Kagome that dragged herself into the mess hall, several crude drawings of Shippou and ice cream cones on the side of her head. The little kid had swiped a sharpie from someone's purse during the day, and upon discovering that she had no plans to get him ice cream, thought that Kagome's forehead would look a lot better if it was tattooed.
"Hey, is that an aardvark on the side of your head?" Inuyasha asked, putting down his plate next to her. "Wow, ice cream. I want some of that, haven't had any in forever."
Kagome growled. Maybe it was the metion of her 'tattoos', maybe the mention of ice cream. Whatever the cause, she reached into the backpack behind her, which held all of the coloring supplies she could ever want in her life. To assure that he did not end up coloring fishies, Shippou had sabatoged the bag right away. It was now filled...with elephant feces.
"Disgusting, is that smell you, wench?"
GLOMP.
"You needed some new cologne, Inuyasha." Kagome said sweetly. "You might want to wash off that...mud...outside with the hose."
He jumped up and ran out the door, not pleased with the strong scent that had suddenly been shoved under his nose. By the time he made it to the hose, he had passed out from the strongness of the poo-oder.
Kagome innocently left the dinner table to 'lock the door and keep all the serial killers out'.

Miroku rose from his slumber at three in the morning. He had been disturbed by a strange thumping noise he had initially assumed to be trees on a window elsewhere. However, when a recent bout of thumping was accompanied with a hoarse and strangled-sounding yelp, he decided that it must be a rabies-infested dog ramming itself up against the front door.
Deciding to see if his suspicions were correct, he headed downstairs.
"My, my, Inuyasha—I WAS RIGHT!"
The hanyou was foaming at the mouth—though this may have been from the strange amount of soap he had coated himself with. Reeking slightly of elephant poop, but the overpowering scent of Dial masking the scent, he was a sight to be...smelled. Miroku winced and pinched his nose.
"Just move and let me in. There's a wench that needs to meet some ice water."

Tsuki: wow, I'm typing this up during 'Directed Studies' (SEMINAR, STUDY HALL, WHATEVER!) and this computer is lots faster than Tsuki's home cable. she should bother it more often.
Akina: T.T I'm in a different class, I don't even know that you're updating.
