Well, the group had reached the hotel, and Inu-Yasha had a bucket on his head.

"Kagome, I cant see!"

"Just leave it on until we get to our room!" Kagome was leading the group into a hotel that they would stay at for the night. Miroku had found the bucket on the side of the road, and it had a medium thick rope on the handel. Inu-Yasha didnt want to wear it, but Kagome had insisted in her VERY ANGRY voice. And, since her VERY ANGRY voice changed everything, he listened. Sango, unfortunatly, had to lead the youkai around, earning her a fare share of stares. (Hehe, I kinda rhymed.) Inu-Yasha was getting more, but he just couldnt tell. Kagome reached the desk, and began speaking with the receptionest.

"Ok m'am, here is your key. I have to tell you though, we dont allow pets."

"Oh, um... well, could you make an exeption? Just this once?" the miko pleaded.

"No, Im sorry. Its our policy."

Kagome grabbed the key, and said in her ANGRY voice, "Policy my ass! Lets go to our room."

No one was listening. Miroku was speaking with Shippo, and Sango was in a big argument with Inu-Yasha. He had sat down on the floor Indian style and dug his claws into the carpet, refusing to move.

"HELLO!?!? LETS GO TO OUR ROOM!"

Nothing. Kagome gat mad and walked over to Inu-Yasha and began to pry at his hands. "Woa, you stink. Your having a bath tonight."

"AHHH! No way in hell! And I do not stink!!"

Sango had gotten assistance from Miroku, and they were managing to drag Inu-Yasha along. Very slowly though. Kagome went up and decided to help too. Inu-Yasha released his grip on the carpet and stood up, still being pulled along. He turned to face the opposite direction of everyone else, and refused to move again.

"Come ON!" Shippo pleaded. Even HE was helping.

"Im NOT having a bath! NO WAY IN HELL!"

Now there was a tug of war going on and Inu-Yasha was obviously winning. The hard plastic of the bucket was taking its toll on his nose. Then, the rope snapped.

"AHA! Im FREE!" Inu-Yasha reached for the bucket, when Kagome relized what he was doing.

"DONT. YOU. DARE." She had a black cloud hovering around her head, and everyone else in the group moved to a safe distance. They relocated themselves ten metres away.

"I know you better than you think! You wont say it here! If you DO, this bucket will break!! HAHA!"

"SIT."

"Shit!" Inu-Yasha indented the ground, and the bucket did indeed break. "Wench..."

"SIT! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SSSSIIIITTTT!!!!" Kagome was almost screeching.

The group moved another five metres back, just to be safe.

"Kagomes scary.." Shippo muttered.

"Shippo. What did you say?" Kagome said, in a nice voice.

"Nothing, Kagome! Just saying how... hairy your head is!"

"WELL THATS NOT WHAT I HEARD!!!!"

"EEEP!" The kitsune squeeled as he lept onto Miroku's shoulder. His safetey zone.

"Sango, may I have that rope?"

"Y-y-y-y-yes, Kagome-ch-chan." Sango walked over to Kagome and handed her the rope. Kagome took it and smiled back to the taiyija, Sango then backed away. The fake grin scared her. Kagome walked over to Inu-Yasha, who had just stayed on the ground. She tied the rope around his ankles, and walked back to the rest on the group.

"Ok, we'll PULL HIM ALL THE WAY UP THE STAIRS." Kagome spoke louder so that Inu-Yasha could hear. He dug his claws back into the carpet, so they couldnt give him a bath once they got to the room.

"Sit."

He let them drag him to the elavator.

"Get in or I say it."

"Im taking the stairs." The youkai commented. When the group wasnt looking, Inu-Yasha had gnawed at most of the rope. It was now at its breaking point, so all he had to do was pull a little bit.

"Fine. I give up. If someone sees you, deal with it."

"Ok, I'll just decapitate them."

"Sit."

WHAM

"I've told you so many times!! NO KILLING PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN!!"

"Hai." He muttered. (Hai means yes, or ok.)

"And I know you chewed at the rope." Kagome yanked it and it broke.

"How?"

"I was watching you."

"Stalker!!"

"Inu-Yasha, do you even know what a stalker IS?"

"Um.. hai." he lied.

"Ok, tell me."

"Um..well. A stalker stalks."

"What does a Stalker stalk?"

"UH, stuff?"

"People, you baka."

Inu-Yasha frowned as Kagome and everyone else got in the elavator.

"Our room number is 371, remember it."

"Feh."

Kagome pressed the buttons inside the elavator, and the door closed. Leaving a very agitatted youkai standing alone in the hallway.

-IN THE ELAVATOR-

"Thank kami (God), hes gone." Kagome said, leaning against the wall.

"Lady Kagome? What if he gets himself tangled up in a mess?"

"Then its HIS problem. I dont care anymore." Kagome smiled and closed her eyes. She was just happy to be away from 'the jerk'. "So, tomorrow... what do you guys feel like doing?"

"Well, it is up to you, Kagome-chan. It is truly wonderful to see all of the modern items here."

"Thanks, Sango. Its nice to see someone appreciates it."

"Lady Kagome, I do believe you have mentioned something about giving Inu-Yasha a bath later? How do you expect to accomplish that?"

"If he dosent take a bath, he dosent get anymore Ramen on this trip. And if that wont work, he has to sit outside the room for the night. He does smell, dont you think?"

"Yea, hes smelly." Shippo commented. It was the worst for Shippo, being a Kitsune and all.

-IN THE HALLWAY-

Inu-Yasha had made up an excuse to get away from everyone else. He needed some time to think. Or, just to enjoy the quiet. He sat down in a corner by the elavator, Indian style as usual. Leaning up against the wall, he crossed his arms, and closed his eyes. The smell of food was floating around. It smelled like chicken. 'Oh great. And Im still hungry.' The youkai decided to get up and follow the scent, looking for some food. 'Once I find it, I'll come back to the elavator and eat it.' Yea, that was a plan. Inu-Yasha rounded a corner, and jumped back, the hallway was filled with people. 'Great. I have to get through all them.' He thought, peeking at everyone. Just then he noticed a red button on the wall. 'Huh, 'Push incase of emergecy only.' Okay..' He peeked at the people again, then decided to press the button. A loud screeching noise filled the whole hotel. "AAH! KUSO!" (Damn or shit)

Inu-Yasha folded his ears flat and peeked around the corner. All the people were running towards him. 'Figures...'

The hoard of people passed right by and loaded into the elavator, kicking and screaming. 'Well, I'll just ignore that..' He just continued on his way, following the scent of BBQ chicken down many halls.

-IN THE OTHER HALLWAY, WITH KAGOME-

"Ah! I bet Inu-Yasha has something to do with that!"

Sango looked on as a group of people ran out of their room and headed for the stairs. "What is going on, Kagome-chan?"

"Its a fire alarm, your supposed to set it off when you see a fire or some other type of emergency." Kagome explained.

"Well, Lady Kagome, it sure makes a lot of noise. Is their a way to deactivate it?"

"I dunno." the young miko pondered what Inu-Yasha set it off for. "Heh, I wonder if he smelt BBQ chicken and went after it or something. That'd be kinda funny."

Just then, Himura Kenshin went running past, saying "That he did."

"Who the heck was that?" Kagome questioned. As if on que, the red haired man stopped running, and headed back towards the group. "Forgive me, I go by the name Kenshin. Kenshin Himura."

"Konnichiwa, (Hello) Im Kagome Higurashi. What do you mean 'that he did'?"

"Your friend, he did go after BBQ chicken."

"How do you know?" Kagome pryed further.

"This one just had a slight feeling." Kenshin replied, smiling.

"Um, Lady Kagome, I dont want to disturb you-"

"THEN DONT!" Kagome turned back to Kenshin and put a huge grin on.

"You've got some strange clothes on, where are you from?"

"Me?" Himura asked. "I live in Japan. I've come to Canada to have some time to myself. You also have some strange garments. May I ask where you originate from aswell?"

"We're from Japan too! Where about do you live?"

"I am a wanderer. Nothing but a wandering swordsman."

"A swordsman? Why? Dont you have a job or family?" Kagome now had some suspcions about this man.

"No. This one forges for himself."

"Well, we're on a road trip ourselves. If you want, you can come aswell. You seem trustworthy."

"Oh, I would love to! What was it now.. Oh yes.. Kagome-sama."

"Oh, sama.. Hmmm, I like it!" She giggled.

-THE HUNT FOR BBQ CHICKEN-

Inu-Yasha now had a pounding headache from the alarm. "Damn thing. I gotta shut it up." He ran down another hall, still following the scent of chicken. "But, I still gotta find that chicken. It smells SOO good!" Another group of people ran past him. "Idiots.."

His nose led him to a door where the scent ended. "In here, eh?" He grabbed the door handel and went in. Sure enough, he had found the kitchen. "Woa, look at all the food!"

Inu-Yasha walked up to one of the ovens, which had a platter on finger food sitting ontop. He picked one up, and ate it. "That was gross." The alarm shut off all of a sudden.

"Well, its about time. Stupid thing."

-WITH KAGOME-

"Well, I guess we might as well head down to the kitchen to see if idiot dog-boy is there." Kagome sighed. "Then we might as well go back to our room. Himura, which room is yours?"

"Mine, is number 356"

"Well, thats not too far from ours. How many beds are in yours?"

"Two, I think thats how many are in every room."

Kagome gulped. "Thats bad. We're all gonna be fighting over beds."

"Lady Kagome, please excuse me for a moment." The houshi commented before running off in the direction of their room.

"I wonder what that was about." Kagome said to herself.

"Kagome-chan, the noise has stopped."

"Yea, I noticed that Sango. I guess we should go look for Inu-Yasha now."

"But, what about your companion, the one who just ran off?" Kenshin asked.

"Oh, Miroku will be just fine. I think he went back to the room. He'll be around when we get back."

So, the group headed off in the direction of the kitchen. Kenshin's guess as to where Inu-Yasha was, was as good as their own.

-THE KITCHEN-

"Where the hell is that chicken!?"

Inu-Yasha had walked around the kitchen three times, following the scent. And each time, it lead him in circles. "Damn it!" He had blown up an oven out of frustration already. We should all feel sorry for any poor oblivious fool who might happen to enter the area at this point in time. So, natrually, a chef entered the room and didn't notice the dog youkai standing on the other side. Inu-Yasha was down on his hands and knees, sniffing around. He was having better luck that way, but he looked like an idiot. He noticed the chef had entered and decided to ask him where the blasted chicken was.

"Oi, puffy hat! Where the hell is the chicken!?"

The chef jumped, and looked over to see Inu-Yasha over by the ovens. He had his back turned and the chef couldnt see his face. "You shouldnt be in here! That chicken is for paying guests only!"

"Thats not what I asked. Wheres the chicken!"

"Sir, Im gonna have to show you the door. Your not allowed in here."

"I know where the door is, dumbass." Inu-Yasha reached into a cupboard and pulled out a can of Chef boy RD Ravioli (sp?). "What the hell is this?"

"Sir! I must ask you to leave! I will call security!"

"You go ahead and do that..." the youkai took the can of Ravioli and walked over to a microwave. "I'll take this and leave then." He put the can in and pressed a few buttons and miracusaly (sp? lol. I cant spell very good sometimes. English is so stupid.) it started. "Ok. Do you have any Ramen?"

"Ramen? Whats that?" The chef, who will now be known as.... Josh inquired.

"NANI?!" Inu-Yasha turned around to face the man. "You dont know what Ramen is?!"

"AH! Um... sir?"

"What?" Inu-Yasha had turned his back on the man once again, and went over to watch the Ravioli in the microwave. And, like all geat cans of food, if you dont open it before putting it in the microwave, blew up. Inu-Yasha jumped back, and used his Sankon-Tessou (Iron Reavor) move on the microwave. It blew up and the youkai was happy. "Show you, you defective thing."

At that exact moment, Kagome's group ran in.

"AH! What did you do, Inu-Yasha?! This place is a mess!"

"Um, I was trying to get us some supper! Thats all. Dont hurt me Kagome!"

Kagome had a black cloud around her head once again. Ligtning was flashing around her head as she advanced on Inu-Yasha.

"Just, what, did you think you were doing down here?"

"I, um, I just.. told you..."

"Osuwari."

Kenshin was a fast learner, him and Sango were a good fifteen metres away from Kagome at this point. The miko walked over to Inu-Yasha's sreaming form on the floor. "Were going back to the room." She said, her voice was completely flat. Sango, Kenshin, Shippo and Kirara took the hint and walked out the door, heading to their rooms.
