Everybody wants to hide their secrets away.
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain.
If you could dance with me through this rain,
We will fight.
We'll fight again.

o0o-Chapter Four-o0o
Being a hero is such hard work. Don't believe me? Then you try lugging around this gigantic ego everywhere you go. Not so easy, huh?

Brows furrowed and lips twisted in a wicked smirk, Barbie brought her mammoth of a foot over the inu-hanyou, ready to crush him when, suddenly, out rang, "Yo, bitch!"
"Who dares-?" The plastic monster spun around. . . . .and came face to face with Ken. "You! What are you doing here? I dumped you MONTHS ago!"
"I'm here to wipe that drawn-on smile off your face."
"Oh, is that it?" Barbie replied in a bored tone.
"I'm going to do it. . ." Ken puffed out his chest. ". . .WITH A VENGEANCE!"
"Ee e e e e e e e ek!" the girl shrieked in terror. A second later, though, she stopped. "Wait. How do you think you are going to destroy me, huh? Using puny weapons, like some sorry bazooka? I'm invincible to all of those!"
"I know your weakness. . ." Ken whispered through a mocking smile, slowly taking a step closer to her. "It will rip you apart from the inside out. . ." Another step, and he took a tight hold of her hand.
"You wouldn't. . ." she gasped, eyes wide in horror.
Ken's smirk just widenend.
"E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E K!" Barbie screeched, eyes welled up with tears. "You broke my nail! My beautiful, perfect nail! I'll never be able to show face in stores again! My life is RUINED!"
Meanwhile, Nsync was calling dead animals- er, I mean, singing louder than ever when Justin abruptly stopped. "Omigodomigod! My cookies are burning!" he wailed, and started to make a dash for it, but Nick blocked his way. "Hold up. You were baking cookies? You were concerned about something other than the passion of creating music?"
"Dude, quit using big words like "passion" and "the"! You know it gives me migraines!" one of the other members grunted from the background, holding his forehead in pain.
Justin sadly nodded with shame. "And there's something I've been meaning to tell you. . . I was gonna say it last night when we were giving each other hot baths, but that conditioner was just-"
"Spit it out, man!"
"I'm. . . . .a woman."
Nick jerked back, eyes wide in utter disbelief. "E W W W W! I took a bath with a girl? I have cooties!"
The rest of the group was soon running in hectic circles:
"Nick touched a girl!"
"He has icky girl germs all over him now!"
"Run for your life!"
(and that's how Nsync really broke up ;p)
Inuyasha stared at it all with uncertainty and confusion. "What's happ-" A sudden shift by the ground cut off his sentence, and, startled, he looked down. A small square of the floor beneath him was splitting apart right under his legs! With short, mechanic spurts, the hanyou slowly, helplessly, and quite painfully bent more and more into a split until his body forced him to give up and. . .
SPLASH!
Frantically, Inuyasha broke his head through the surface, gasping for air. A few seconds later, once his heartbeat calmed down to a steady pace, the steam rising around him caught his eye. He looked down at the strange liquid he was wading in. . .and his eyes bulged straight out of his head.
"NO! I'M CLEAN!"
(scene break)(scene break)(scene break)(scene break)(scene break)(scene break)(scene break)
Trailing along behind Sango, Kagome sadly stared into the kunoichi's back with large, puppy-eyes, whining through a muzzle.
"Now, Kagome, keep quiet while we're looking through this underground tunnel, and I'll give you a treat. . ." Sango tempted. The schoolgirl nodded drearily in reply as the two of them headed down a flight of crudely-made, stone stairs leading into. . .darkness.
"I wonder if-" Sango switched on the flashlight she had found buried in a musty pile of bones, and her face lit up like a candle. "Inuyasha's here!" she exclaimed, excitedly rushing over to the hanyou sprawled out across the bare, gray floor. Kagome followed with yips of delight.
"H r r m m m m m u m m p h h. . ." Inuyasha mumbled, rolling onto his side but still completely out of it.
Kagome sniffed him cautiously. "His odor his strangely. . .lemon-sceneted. . ."
Before Sango could react, the inu's eyelids groggily fluttered open, and his body began to stir again. "Sango? Kagome. . .?"
"Inuyasha, were you. . .bathing?"
A wide, goofy grin slowly spread across the latter's face as he giggled softly. "Hehehe! Yeah h h h. . . . ." He slowly rose from to his feet, then grabbed the kunoichi's wrist tightly, causing a small gasp to escape from her. "You should really try it. . ."
The square formed beneath Sango, but this time so fast, she was knocked right off her feet and a second later, taking in huge gulps of warm water. Kagome frantically rushed over and extended a hand. . .only to be pulled in head first.
"And ya can't get clean without soap. . ." Inuyasha cackled as tiny bubbles suddenly began popping up and multiplying, engulfing the girls' bodies like a swarm of mosquitoes; foam creating binding shackles around their arms and legs and angrily dragging them underwater.
"Welcome to the Room of Fears. . ." they could barely hear over the splashing and gurgling of their own struggle. A black, hooded cloak draped over a tall, slender figure methodically strode out of the shadows toward them. "Sango. Kagome," the stranger acknowledged the two drowning, standing just at the edge where floor met deathly water.
"WHO- WHO ARE Y-YOU?" Sango choked out with rage.
"I was the newest anime character on American TV. . . . . Little girls would squeal at the mere sight of me, buying plushies of me by the mounds. . . . . But I was soon thrown off the air. . .by you. It's the same old, cliché story: Blood and demons always triumphing over the cute and innocent." The cloak suddenly poofed into thin air, and a puny furball stood at the top of a towering pair of stilts.
"HAMTARO!" Kagome and Sango gasped in unison.
"YES! I'm here to wipe you and your show off the air – permanently! And gain the respect I deserve!"
"But we can't help it if our show's better than yours," Kagome spoke up.
"This isn't about TV, my dear. This is about voices," the little hamster growled, brows knitted together as he glared down at the schoolgirl furiously. "You think people couldn't tell my sweet, light-hearted Laura sounded identical to the quick-tempered, big-headed Kagome on Adult Swim? Well, they did, forced to choose between which character was better to watch. And they didn't choose correctly."
"Quick-tempered and big-headed?" Despite the constricting foam, Kagome ripped off the muzzle and whipped out her bow and arrow from nowhere. Her eyes focused. . . Her hand pulled back. . .
"DIE, BASTARD!" All of a sudden, there was a blur of red and a streak of yellow. A second later, Hamtaro tumbled to the floor, cottony stuffing spilling out over everything.
Inuyasha stood where a pair of stilts chopped to firewood now laid, smirking as he wiped a bit of cotton off the corner of his mouth. "My BO started kickin' in, and the evil spell wore off. Heh"
"YOU IDIOTIC MORORN!" Kagome screamed, face burning red.
The inu hanyou's face went straight from cocky to stupefied. "Wha-. . .?"
"I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SHOOT MY ARROW AND SAVE THE DAY, BUT JUST LIKE ALWAYS, YOU HAFTA GO AND SWING THAT OVERSIZED TOOTH AROUND AND STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT!"
"Well, excuse me for trying to save your life!"
"YOU SHOULD BE!"
"I AM!"
"NO, YOU'RE NOT!"
"WHAT?"
"SEE? YOU GOT YOURSELF ALL TANGLED UP IN THE WEB OF LIES YOU WOVE!"
"I DON'T HAVE TO STAND HERE AND LET MYSELF BE INSULTED, Y'KNOW! I'M LEAVIN'!"
"No, wait! Inuyasha, please, I love you! I never meant to hurt you!"
"No, I'm sorry, Kagome! I shouldn't have threatened to leave you! I love you, too!"
"Are you two finished so we can go now?" Sango sighed impatiently, already out of the water.
"Oh. Sorry," Kagome apologized, sweatdropping. "We just like to stay in practice."
"Anyway," Inuyasha started, sheathing Tetsusaiga. "We should prob'ly get to finding a way outta here again. Let's head this way-"
"But what about Cobalt?" Sango frantically interrupted.
"Yeah!" Kagome joined in. "We gotta find him first, so we can take him with us!"
". . .Feh."
