Tsuki: yes, it's been forever since you've seen our lovely…screen names!
Akina: now that Tsuki and Akina no longer have to play their fingers off in anticipation of music contests and such, we have some time to update! OUTSIDE OF SLEEPOVERS! Yayy!
Tsuki: although, we are both involved in the pit for Oklahoma, which will be taking up time even more. However, this may generate more sleepovers, which will lead to the verbalization of some stagnant ideas in our heads.
Akina: Finishing up Babysitter-Sama is done, so now we shall devote full efforts to Fur and Feathers!
Tsuki (cheers)

Miroku was shaking hands in the greeting shop, a new day having dawned without any more incidents aside from the ice-water fiasco.
He shivered, remembering the horrors of Inuyasha's encounter with the sleeping Kagome. It would forever torment his hopelessly frightened mind.
Shaking the hand of an older woman as she entered the store, he gave her a toneless, "Hello, welcome to the Shikon Zoo Gift Shop. Please ask for help if you need anything at all."
Sango was working behind the register, watching him as one would watch a can of nitroglycerin teetering on the edge of a building. If he gropes anyone…Kagome will kill him. She'll make him eat the elephant poo in her backpack. Sango paused in her mental threats. As long as she doesn't do to him what she did to Inuyasha…the girl shivered. Who would have guessed that the sweet and kind-looking Kagome had such a malicious streak?
Miroku's eyes lit up as two gorgeous young girls wandered into the gift shop. "Hell-oooh, WELcome to the Shikon Zoo Gift Shop. PLEASE, ask for help if you need ANYTHING at all."
The blonde turned to the brunette, shifting uneasily. Her blue eyes never left Miroku as he continued to stare at her. "Akina…can we leave now?"
The shorter girl looked worried as well. Her green eyes glanced away from the greeter to the terrified face of her companion. "Tsuki…we came here for a monkey…we're not leaving without one…"
"A monkey? Let me show you where they are!" Miroku said, eyes glowing with joy. The two girls followed behind the older boy warily, not taking their eyes off him.
"Akina…"
"Here we are. I assume that you were looking for a stuffed animal?" Miroku said.
Tsuki didn't register his words. Her eyes had caught onto an adorable stuffed thing, and she forgot to be afraid of the boy. Stepping forward, she leaned over to retrieve the monkey.
Tsuki's eyes widened.
"Tsuki?" Akina asked curiously, watching as the usually hyperactive blonde froze. "Tsuki, did your batteries die again? Tsuki!"
Sango appeared behind Miroku. "Hiraikotsu," she muttered, beating his head in with a clipboard. "Hiraikotsu, hiraikotsu, hiraikotsu…"
Akina patted the shocked Tsuki's head. "It's okay Tsuki. What noble self-sacrifice."
"Please, Akina…I've got the monkey…can we leave?"
"Yes, Tsuki. Let's go visit the penguins."
Trauma forgotten, the blonde's face lit up and she skipped out of the gift shop.
Miroku turned as the two gorgeous girls left the shop, twinkling stars hovering before his eyes. "Ah…what joy is my job, encountering such young beauties all day long…"
Sango glared, and repeated herself more forcefully. "HIRAIKOTSU," she continued, beating his head harder. "HIRAIKOTSU, HIRAIKOTSU, HIRAIKOTSU…"

Kagome wandered into her room, clipboard attached to her hand. There was no other way out of it, she had left Shippo and the other children with Rin while she went to wash the ice cream out of her hair. If it dried, she would become a walking beehive exhibit.
When she walked into her room, she was surprised to see Keade hunched over the second bed. Retching noises met her ears as she drew closer, and she was horrified to see Kouga residing in what was once Sango's space.
"Whatever possessed ye to consume the prairie dog food, young Kouga?" Keade muttered as he emptied his stomach some more.
"I'm taking a shower," Kagome muttered, leaving the disgusting scene behind her. "Please, make sure that he's all taken care of before Sango returns."
"This is the sick room, Kagome. Ye shall just have to deal with the sickness."
Kagome's eye twitched, but she stepped into the shower regardless.

Inuyasha heard the noises before he saw the scene. A green-in-the-face Kagome was sitting in the hallway outside of her room, the noises coming from behind her informing Inuyasha as to what was happening.
"Having a little bit of roommate trouble?" he jabbed, feeling mean despite the beating he had gotten the night before.
Kagome glared up at him. "No. None at all."
Her voice was emotionless when she said it. Regardless of any arguments between them, Inuyasha was worried. What had happened to her during the day that had made her so angry? Then again, if Naraku was puking all over HIS room, he'd be rather upset as…
What the hell is in my bed? He wondered, the fur under the sheets not clicking with his memories of how a bed should feel.
Naraku opened the door just as Kikyo surfaced from beneath the covers. Not wanting to disturb the AIDs-perpetuating couple before him, he turned around and closed the door behind him.
The shriek from Inuyasha's room raised Kagome's head off her knees. It continued, growing louder as the source of the sound came nearer. A scantly-clad hanyou ran screaming down the hallway, monkey lover trailing behind him like streamers on a tricycle.
Kagome cackled as her vengeance was completed. Yet at the same time, she felt a pang of jealousy…

Tsuki: yes, it's short. But there's some shameless self-insertion to make up for it.
Akina: ah, noble sacrifice Tsuki. For the good of the story.
Tsuki: in reality, we ran out of characters. It'd just be weird to have that scene with…Kohaku and Shippo, or…Rin and Jaken, or…Jakotsu and Naraku…
Akina: okay, they understand.
Tsuki: yet the Tsuki could barely type when she reached the groping section. In her own words, "I don't wanna write about me being groped! I don't wanna write about YOU being groped either, though!"
Akina: ah, noble self-sacrifice…
Tsuki: T.T; review replies shall commence now…
Tomiie: ah, no monkey admirers for the Kikyo-beast. who would put up with her, anyway (sticks out tongue and smiles)
Karen Higurashi: we apologize for the horrible masacarring of this wonderful last name. sadly, Tsuki is spelling inept. as soon as she gets back to her computer, she will change it in her autocorrect.
Jamie: no Sesshoumaru? he is there...hmm...well, the car and the Kikyo sounds fun, we'll give it thought and credit you if we decide to use it.
spice lily: heh...(cackles) such is the diabolical power of the Tsuki!
orange-InuYasha: yay, hello orange, friend of Tsuki and Akina! yes, there's some squishy moments coming up. We have to make up for all the torture we've been puting Kag-chan through, no? (grins evilly)
fuf: Spano is always wondering why you're cackling. damn you and your using stars in your review! this site won't even let us use double charecters any more if they're not letters -how are you supposed to have actions and review reply? It's getting harder and harder...
Nez-chan: alas, there shall be no more Tsuki and Nez ISS humor, for we have graduated from the class of satan...(cries)
eX Driver Liz: one handed? aww, we hope you're better. recover soon from your missing arm...
SangoXKirara: grr...(Tsuki once again assumes an Atlas pose) I'll just stand here holding up the fic...
