"Kagome-chan, what is an 'airport'?" Came Sango's voice. The group had stopped in a ditch outside the airport. Shippo and Kirara were devistated to hear that they were going to be 'carry on luggage'.
"Kagome! I don't wanna go in that bag! It's too small."
"Well Shippo, your either riding in that bag, or not coming." Kagome explained with little patience. "Kirara dosent have a problem. And besides, once we get on the plane, we'll let you out."
"Yea, you could do that. But I like the part about you staying behind." Inu-Yasha shot. Tears welled up in the kitsunes eyes, and he started to cry.
"Inu-Yasha, OSUWARI!"
Sango and Miroku merley stood there, either watching the conversation, or watching the planes take off and land.
"Houshi-sama, kindly REMOVE that hand, or I will remove it FOR you."
"But Sango dear, -" He was cut off by a loud SMACK. "- there was a bug...."
Inu-Yasha pulled himself off the ground and glared daggers at Shippo, who was trying to get comfortable in his bag. Shippo looked up and gave Inu-Yasha a big, toothy grin.
"Shippo, if you dont quit that, Im gonna take that smile and shove it up your-"
"OSUWARI!" Kagome brushed off her hands and continued, "Inu-Yasha, what are we gonna do with you. You know yourself that you need to wear some sunglasses. I know you wont wear a hat, so Im not even gonna try. But how are we gonna get you some sunglasses when the stores are all INside the airport?"
"Um, " Came his muffled voice "Um.... I, dont know?"
Miroku had an idea, he walked over to the side of the road and grabbed a bag. He then placed the bag on Inu-Yasha's head. "Problem solved."
"No, not 'problem solved'. I cant see!" Inu-Yasha pulled himself off the indented ground and ripped off the bag. "It smelt good though...."
"Oh my god! I just remembered, they wont let you guys bring your weaponds in there!"
"But, Kagome-chan, why not?" The taiyija asked.
"Just.. well.. oh how do I explain?" Kagome was at a loss for words. "Its just that people these days are worried about terrorests. (sp?)"
Eveyone looked at Kagome like she had a second head or something. "Whats?"
"Ok, a 'terrorest' is a person that kills other people. Usually they belong to a group that hates a certain culture. In some cases, they will take over planes and crash them into other things. Oh, right! You've never heard of the 9/11!"
"Um, Kagome? Im not really following..." muttered the youkai, his head was spinning with all this information.
"Well, the main thing that Im trying to get through here, is that they wont even let you into the airport with your weapons."
"Please, I am a monk, I would not harm anyone." Miroku replied. He sounded as if he had been insulted.
"No, dont take it that way! I know that you wouldnt do anything, just THEY dont!"
"Whose 'they', Kagome-chan?"
"The security guards." Kagome answered. "Oh well. Its not like we can just leave them here." Kagome was in deep thought when she had an idea. "We can always sneak on, and ride in the cargo area!"
"Erm.." said no one in particular.
"Come on, now we wont have to worry about Inu-Yasha, either."
"So," came Inu-Yasha's voice. "Where do we go now?"
"Well, we dont have too much time left before our flight leaves. I dont know how we're gonna tell which one it is.."
"What do you mean, Lady Kagome?"
"All these planes are going to different places, and we want one of them. I just dont know wich one. And even if we do get lucky and get one that goes to Canada, we need to go to the right place in Canada. My mom's booked a car rental in British Colombia, so we need to go there."
"Whats a bittish corumbia?" Shippo quizzed, he was still inside the bag.
"Its a 'province' in Canada. That contry is alot bigger than Japan, so they've devided it up into sections called provinces."
"Oh." Everyone said in unicin.
"Anyway, lets go and see if we can find our flight. Sango, you and Miroku will have to ride on.. " Kagome began to take off her pack. She grabbed a sleeping Kirara and handed her to Sango. "You will have to ride on Kirara."
"Ok, will we just follow you two?" She asked, waking up Kirara.
"Yep, and Inu-Yasha.." She sighed when she looked over to see him with the bag on his head breathing deeply. "COME HERE."
"Huh? wha- Oh, Kagome! Ok." He removed the bag after giving it one more sniff. "What used to be in that bag? It smells wonderful!"
"Inu-Yasha, thats a fast food bag. It used to have greasy food in there."
"It did? Can we have some of this 'fat food' sometime?"
"Yes, and its called FAST food. Now, as I was saying. Can you see that tower over there?"
"Yea. Why?"
"Can you jump that high?"
Inu-Yasha looked at the tower, and nodded his head. "Yea, why?" He repeated.
"Thats a 'control tower.' If we go up there, we should be able to see when each plane is borded. Ours is leaving at exactly five o'clock. We'll sneak on the plane that gets borded at that time." Kagome was quite pleased with herself for coming up with that plan.
Inu-Yasha knelt down and Kagome got on.
So, just go up to that tower?" He asked.
"Yea. Just land ontop."
"RIGHTO!" He lept up and headed straight for the control tower.
"Um, Kagome-chan, what is in that bag your mother gave you?" Sango had gotten Kirara to fly as fast as she could, they WERE trying to sneak around after all.
"I dont know, but its pretty heavy."
Inu-Yasha touched down and let Kagome off. There was just enough room for the group on the tower roof.
"Ok, Its five to five, If you see people getting into a plane tell me."
"Righto!" Everyone responded.
"Lady Kagome, it looks like people are loading onto that one over there..." Miroku pointed and Kagome nodded her head.
"Thats the one, ok guys. See that opening on the side of the plane?"
Everyone nodded.
"Ok, we need to get in there. Come on, Inu-Yasha lets go down before it closes."
The youkai walked over and Kagome got on again.
"Ok, Kirara, lets follow."
Inu-Yasha lept down and headed towards the plane, followed by Kirara.
"Go in there, Kagome?"
"Yea, hurry!"
They all got inside just as the doors started to close. Even if they had been spotted, no one said anything.
"Yay! We made it!"
Ok, I hope this one made up for the last one. Anyway, tell me if its going good! or, bad....
Anyway! Im happy to hear what you have to say! Even if its a flame...
