Stuck
Disclaimer- I own nothing except one pencil and a sketchpad. Hey! My brother stole my sketchpad! I own nothing. :: starts sobbing:: I don't own Disneyland any of the rides, McDonalds or Inuyasha!
Ok we will not be posting the Lupe/Carmen conversations anymore hope no one minds.
Kagome led the group it to the Tower of Terror building. It was nearly empty since it was lunchtime. (Okay everyone bare with me I've only been on once so if you see errors don't flame me!) When Kagome opened the door the group walked inside with wide eyes. It was the just the lobby but it was decorated in expensive items. There were red ropes around everything so little kids wouldn't break anything. Shippo crawled onto Miroku's shoulder to get a better look around.
"Shippo, can you see this pole here?" Kagome asked pointing to a red and white pole with a bunch of numbers on it.
"Yeah. What about it?" Shippo asked Kagome jumping on top of Miroku's head.
"Well you have to be this tall to ride the ride so...," Kagome began to say.
"You mean I can't go on the ride?" Shippo said beginning to tear up.
"No, that's not it I just need you to use your fox magic to turn into my brother," Kagome said whipping away Shippo's tears. Shippo instantly cheered up and asked Kagome where he should transform.
Kagome looked around for a place for Shippo realizing there were security cameras everywhere. She looked past the gift shop for a place without a camera. Where can he change? Wait.. no dip they don't put cameras in the bathrooms what was I thinking? Kagome quickly walkedback to the confused group and led Shippo away
"Where are we going Kagome?" Shippo asked his adoptive mother. Kagome quickly explained where they were going and what to do when they got there. Kagome hurriedly pushed Shippo into the men's restroom after she explained how to lock the stall door. A few moments later Shippo came out baring the same image of Kagome's younger sibling.
"This ok Kagome?" Shippo asked turning around in a circle.
"Yes that's perfect Shippo. Let's hurry back I'm sure the others are ready to go on the ride as well." Kagome responded patting Shippo on the head fondly. Kagome grabbed Shippo's hand and led him back to the group.
"Finally! Kagome where'd you go?" Inuyasha snapped.
"I sent Shippo to the restroom to transform id that so bad?" Kagome asked the irritable hanyou.
"Feh, let's just go on this ride or whatever you call it," Inuyasha said turning around.
Kagome sighed, "Follow me." (I don't remember everything so I'm tweaking it. So don't flame me!) Kagome led the group to a room with a staircase on their right. She led them down to a room that was meant to look like a basement. The gang followed in between a set of red ropes that led the way to the elevators. There was a man standing next to the elevator doors waiting for them.
"Welcome to the Hollywood Tower of Terror," he began in a boring tone, "Please keep your arms, legs, hands and heads inside the rides at all times. Thank you and enjoy your stay here at Disneyland park and resort."
There were thirty-two seats total, sixteen on each side of a small isle. Inuyasha went to the far-left corner of the elevator and sat down. Kagome sat next to him and Shippo/Sota sat next to her. Sango and Miroku sat in the next row up. Kagome instructed everyone how to buckle the seat belts and then buckled Shippo in. She sat back in her seat and watched the elevator slowly fill in.
"So Kagome what does this thing do?" Inuyasha asked looking around like a curious child.
"Well first it takes you on a tour of the hotel, then it takes you about thirteen stories high the doors at the top then open so you can see outside. Then right when you least expect it the cable holding us supposably snaps and drops us back to the ground.
"It does what?" Inuyasha yelled as the elevator doors closed. Inuyasha just leaned back in his seat and watched as they were taken on a 'tour' of the hotel. Shippo was extremely curious about what would happen during the ride with the two couples. With what Kagome had said this could have some strange results when the cord 'snaps'.
The elevator went through a few hallways when the elevator lights began to flicker. (That's not good now is it?). Kagome didn't notice she just though it was supposed to do that since it was 'haunted'. Miroku and Sango were beginning to get worried when the lights didn't stop flickering. Inuyasha sat there with his usual scowl (only he wouldn't enjoy his first amusement park ride). Kagome could tell they were nearing the drop and began to get just a little frightened.
She tried to grab onto the armrest but she grabbed onto Inuyasha's hand that was lying there. She felt his hand tense when she grabbed it. She blushed until she thought her face was a florescent pink. The elevator suddenly jolted and the lights flickered once more before going off completely.
Kagome let out a squeak and turned toward Inuyasha grabbing his shoulder with both hands. She leaned against him squeezing her eyes shut tight. Inuyasha turned his head toward Kagome and blushed. "It's not supposed to do this, huh?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome shook her head and clung tighter to his shoulder. "I can't see what's going on?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha's eyes could naturally allow him to see in the dark. He looked around the small space and smirked. Sango had done the same thing to Miroku that Kagome was doing to him, clinging to his shoulder and hiding her head. Inuyasha looked to the cowering children crying into there parents sides to the adults and teens that were looking around wide-eyed trying to figure out what was going on.
Suddenly the elevator intercom came on with a crack. Inuyasha covered head to stop the noise the baseball cap didn't help much. Kagome looked up and listened intently on what they were saying.
"Attention all passengers we have a slight problem with the rides cables they've locked in place so please remain in your seats. We should have the problem fixed in the next fifteen minutes so please remain calm. We will continue the ride so please gather yourselves. Were sorry for the inconvenience," said the voice. Inuyasha growled before releasing his ringing head.
"What was that thing?" Inuyasha asked looking at the strange box the voice had come from.
"It's an intercom it's like the telephone." Kagome said beginning to calm down that's when it hit her. Shippo! Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha to look over her shoulder to see Shippo. He was sitting there looking calm as ever while smirking at her. Her eyes were beginning to adjust to the dim lighting. "What?" she asked the kit.
"Nevermind," he said looking away. Kagome just sat and waited for the lights to return. After a while Kagome began to get bored and began to hum. Inuyasha listened to her hum random thing off the top of her head. The lights began to flicker after a while and the ride began to start up. Sango lifted her head as the ride suddenly sprang to life. Kagome's eyes grew wide as the elevator doors opened and they were allowed a look outside. Kagome knew what would come next....the fall.
Kagome couldn't help but look around when a camera flashed. She grabbed Inuyasha's hand as the elevator doors snapped shut and they fell. She would have screamed but her breath was gone. She squeezed her eyes shut and clung to Inuyasha's hand and the opposite armrest. Just when she thought it was over and caught her breath the ride jerked back up and they fell once more. The elevator doors opened when they got to the bottom floor.
"Thank you for riding the Tower of Terror," a man said boringly. Kagome told the gang how to unbuckle their seatbelts. She looked at everyone's face when they stepped from the shaft. Inuyasha looked surprised yet bored with one of his eyebrows cocked up. Sango was still clinging to Miroku while he looked thrilled yet still a little spooked. Shippo was bouncing up and down yelling Let's go again over and over again.
Inuyasha's eyes suddenly grew wide and his ears started to twitch causing his hat to move. "What's going on Inuyasha?" Kagome asked tilting her head to the side.
"Naraku," Inuyasha said in a disgusted tone.
