Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Takahashi Rumiko owns all the characters except for Minah, Kirara (it's not the Neko Youkai), and Penguin... they're all owned by me, me, me! And now for our little comedy show! (Drum roll and all readers and Inuyasha characters groan).
NARAKU: I'm the evilest man in the world! How dare you make me a meek old geek!
ME: That's your problem! Deal with it!
SESSHOUMARU: How dare you make this Sesshoumaru look after an annoying kid and fall for a foolish human? I cannot forgive you… DIE! (Lashes out at the authoress with his Dokkasou, but the authoress cleverly dodges it) And you make that human be able to control me with some stupid prayer beads?In addition,I, Sesshoumaru, cannot be controlled by something so insignificant! CHANGE IT NOW OR ELSE I WILL STAB YOU WITH THE TOUKIJEN!
ME: How many times do I have to say it? This is my story, so that is why you're like that. Besides, Inuyasha's half human and you're full demon. So wouldn't it make sense if the spell lasted longer on you? I mean, how can you expect a human to be controlled by that?
INUYASHA: Aww… shaddup, you moron!
KAGOME: Inuyasha… you're pushing it…
INUYASHA: No…You wouldn't...
KAGURA: Hey! How come I have to besome dingy secretary?
MIROKU: Why do I show up so little?
SANGO: Me too!
SHIPPOU: I only come out twice!
EVERYONE: SHUT UP!
SHIPPOU: Okay…
Chapter 9: Dates and Minahs
Inuyasha had been running around his apartment in circles not really knowing what to do. He had been dressed and now all he really needed was to find his present, but could not find it anywhere. Finally he gave up and sat on the floor with a plop. He had also woken his brother up in the process of his frantic running and screaming. Sesshoumaru was leaning against the door frame with his arms across his chest and his mouth scrunched up in a look of disapproval. His usual neatly groomed hair stuck out in all directions, most of them clumping at the crown of his head in a humorous bulb. Several days had passed since their fateful "punishment" from Kagome thanks to their constant bickering, and neither of the two were willing to make the female CEO angry again. She's gonna sit me the moment she realizes that I'm late! Inuyasha suddenly skidded to a halt by the kitchen and forgot that he left the Chanel bag in Sesshoumaru's room.
With a curt rude comment, Inuyasha pushed Sesshoumaru out of his way and began his incessant search for his gift. Finally, the male CEO found it under the bed. He opened the lid to make sure that Sesshoumaru had not switched the shoe and nodded in approval. Then he stood up and brushed the dust off his shirt. Sesshoumaru didn't move much from his position on the door except for turning his whole body around so that his back no longer faced Inuyasha. The older brother continued to stand there and stare at Inuyasha, but Sesshoumaru wasn't staring at Inuyasha, he was glaring at him. Like Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru did not enjoy watching out for Minah even if she was always on her best behavior when she was with him.
The overly late Inuyasha quickly gave himself a once-over in front of the full-length mirror placed on the coat-room. He smoothed his hair out and even straightened his dog-ears. Then he flicked a speck of dust off the shoulder of his powder-blue collared button-up shirt. Next, he snatched his wallet off the hall-table and stuffed it in his butt-pocket and shoved the keys in his jean-pockets. Inuyasha stopped and turned around so that his back faced the mirror and made sure that his back was also spotless. Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes; he too wished to be spruced up and well-groomed. Sesshoumaru sighed to himself and set himself down on the couch. He calmly pulled his laptop towards him and began to do the day's work. Within minutes, Minah was going to be here. The sound of the door slamming was heard, but Sesshoumaru was too preoccupied to do anything.
He found the day strange, usually, during this time the sounds of Inuyasha's snoring would drive him up the wall, but the morning was different from the rest in that the whole house was enveloped in silence. The sound of an early morning Hong Kongese soap opera trickled into the room driving Sesshoumaru mad. He tapped his claws on the arm-rest of the couch and sighed. The constant babbling of the stupid T.V from the next-door neighbors had finally taken its toll: Sesshoumaru was on the brink of madness. He ran his claws through his hair, and instead of his hand running smoothly down the side of his hair as usual, he found his hand stuck in the humorous bulb of hair that sat in a mess on his head.
Sesshoumaru tried to take his hand out of his hair and found that it was stuck, so he tugged harder on it until he tore out a few silvery strands. "OWWWWW!" He howled clutching the spot where he tore out some of his hair. He glared at the wall in front of him for no reason while rubbing the side of his head vigorously. The maddening rapid-fire Cantonese continued to irritate him. Finally frustrated with everything, Sesshoumaru saved his work and switched his laptop off. He reached into the pocket of his white pajamas and plucked out earplugs, which he usually wore when Inuyasha's snores became intolerable. Grumbling to himself about rude neighbors, Sesshoumaru turned his back to the wall and laid down on his side to fall asleep. But he couldn't sleep, so instead, he found himself staring at the couch in front of his face. Now that was more maddening.
The earplugs may have worked for Inuyasha and his incessant snorings, but it proved to be futile in blocking out the stupid, sappy Chinese soap operas that always continued to aggravate him every morning. In addition to that, Sesshoumaru could not sleep even if he was sleepy because Minah was going to come very soon. It was hard to believe that he had spent all this time doing nothing for two solid hours. Sighing to himself for the umpteenth time, Sesshoumaru removed the earplugs from his ears and sat up in the couch. He reached up to scratch his head, then remembered that his hand got stuck before, so he hastily dropped his hands to his side. He stood up and glided into the bathroom to wash his face and take a quick shower. When he was done, he calmly got into a pair of ratty old jeans and a T-shirt he owned since he was in his teens that read: INUYASHA SUCKS. He had made the T-shirt himself and was very proud of it.
When he was done, he realized that Minah and Kirara had not come yet. Maybe it was a stoke of luck that made Kirara forget about Minah's trip to her uncles, or maybe they were supposed to come at nine. At any rate,Sesshoumaru hoped that they didn't come. If he had a choice between complete silence on his own and complete silence with an annoying kid, he would have rather chosen complete silence on his own. He had no idea what Inuyasha was talking about when he told him that Minah had melted half her Crayola set in the bathtub with very hot water so that when the water went down the drain it clogged the hot water system up. As far as Sesshoumaru was concerned, Minah was not the type to do such things. Furthermore, he actually would have preferred Minah to go crazy rather than watching a bunch of fictional cartoons based on himself and Inuyasha. There was nothing more exasperating and stupid than watching "Inuyasha" cut his arm off with a sword or nearly kill him with the "Kaze no Kizu".
Just as Sesshoumaru was thanking every single god in existence (including the twelve Olympian gods that were long extinct) for keeping Minah away from him the doorbell rang. Sesshoumaru stiffened. He knew this scent; it was none other than Minah and Kirara. Damn his luck. Sesshoumaru pushed himself off the couch and opened the door. Sure enough, just as he predicted, Minah was standing in front of Kirara, who was smiling. Minah had long brown hair, which she had tied into pigtails, and was tanned from running around in the sun all day. She had purple eyes and wore a powder-blue dress with a creamy-white sash around her waist. Kirara looked exactly like Minah, but unlike Minah, she had long blue hair. She wore a black business suit with a rose-pink blouse, and it was obvious, that like all feminists, that she was not wearing a bra. Why did Kirara have to be born as a feminist? Sesshoumaru wondered grudgingly to himself as he rolled his eyes. The moment Minah saw Sesshoumaru, she giggled and hugged onto his leg, which was a very un-Minahish thing to do. Most of the time, whenever Sesshoumaru babysat Minah, she would have either hidden behind Kirara, or she would have cowered towards Kirara's leg. Sesshoumaru cocked his head to the side, but not enough so that Minah and Kirara noticed. "So, where's Inuyasha?" Kirara asked, not bothering to look behind Sesshoumaru.
"He went out."
"He did? This early?"
"Yes. He went to see Kagome… that human wretch." He added quickly.
"Kagome is not a wretch, she is very nice and Minah likes her very much, don't you, Minah?"
"Yup! Is Kagome going to be babysitting me with you?"
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, never in her life had Minah ever uttered a word in front of him. In fact, Minah had never said anything to the point where Sesshoumaru simply assumed she was mute. Nevertheless, Sesshoumaru said nothing. He simply turned around and went back into the house with Minah still clinging onto his leg. "No, that vile woman will not be babysitting you, she is with Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru made vain attempts to shake Minah off his leg, but Minah refused to let go. Sighing to himself, Sesshoumaru decided to find ways to pry the brat off his leg later. "Hopefully, you won't be coming late." Sesshoumaru turned back around to face his cousin, who was one of the selected few that did not fear him.
"Actually, much to your dismay, I will be late. After work I have a feminist gathering at my home and it is not suitable for children under the age of eighteen." This was something that Sesshoumaru definitely feared: being stuck with a boring kid for many hours.
"Very well, hopefully that half-breed fool doesn't stay out too long."
"Come off it, Sesshoumaru, give Inuyasha a break! It's not his fault that he was born as a half-breed. Besides, what's wrong with half-breeds?"
"They're annoying."
"You know what Sesshoumaru, you're annoying." Sesshoumaru opened his mouth to retort, but Kirara ignored him and stepped into his apartment and dropped to a crouch in front of Minah. "Now Minah, mummy expects you to behave with your uncle. Do you understand me?"
"Okay!"
"Good."
"Since when did Minah learn how to speak?"
Kirara glared at Sesshoumaru as she stood up, "Minah always spoke. Maybe if you weren't such a meanie then she wouldn't freeze up whenever you appear!"
"Get out."
"Now Minah take care, and I will leave. Geez! Such a mean cousin!" Kirara left the apartment shaking her head in disbelief. Sesshoumaru simply shrugged and waited until Kirara was out of sight. The moment Kirara was gone, Sesshoumaru slammed the door shut, then promptly reached over and yanked Minah off his leg with one swift tug. Minah giggled. He wondered if Inuyasha had given her specific instructions to annoy him by bribing her with a week of MacDonalds or candy. Sesshoumaru simply dropped Minah on the ground so that she ended up landing on her butt with a loud thud. Complaining to himself about annoying feminist cousins, Sesshoumaru shuffled into the kitchen to get himself a glass of milk.
"Uncle Fluffy-sama?"
"Don't call me that."
Alas, Minah ignored him and continued to call him by what was once Inuyasha's and Kagome's epithet for him when they were young. "Uncle Fluffy-sama, can Minah show you her latest permanent ink set?"
"Do whatever you wish."
"Really?"
"Yes. Just leave me alone."
"Then can Minah have some chocolate-chip cookies and a big glass of milk?"
"No."
"Uncle Fluffy-sama's ameanie! PUH-LEASE?"
"Very well. But you can get it yourself."
"Okay! Minah's a big girl!"
Ignoring Minah again, Sesshoumaru shut the refrigerator door and left to his study. On his way towards his study, he stopped by the living room to pick up his laptop. He warily opened the door to his study and began to place his laptop on his desk. Suddenly, the sound of glass exploding against the wooden floor of the kitchen made Sesshoumaru jump slightly, thus dropping his laptop so that it smashed into a thousand pieces all over the floor. Swearing to himself, Sesshoumaru decided to pick up the pieces of what used to be his laptop later and coldly made his way to the kitchen. The sight before him made him not know what to do. Minah was standing on a chair holding the milk carton in her hands. The milk continued to flow out from the carton so that it made a huge mess of milk all over the floor. On the floor lay the remnants of the glass cup Inuyasha had gotten straight from Venice.
For a second Sesshoumaru stood there with his lips thinned, then he angrily flew across the kitchen and snatched the milk carton out of Minah's hands and set it firmly down on the counter. "What do you think you are doing, you stupid little girl?"
"I'm sorry, the milk carton was too heavy to hold. Minah won't do it again."
"The milk carton is empty, you foolish thing!" Sesshoumaru hissed. Minah giggled then reached into her pocket and withdrew a black pen.
"Can I draw on you?"
"What? NO!" Much to Sesshoumaru's distaste, Minah reached over and latched herself to the back of Sesshoumaru's head. Sesshoumaru made a mental note to literally shove Minah into Inuyasha's arm when the half-breed returned. Ignoring the giggles of Minah, Sesshoumaru leaned over and began to pick up the glass on the floor. He tossed the remainders of Inuyasha's one-thousand-dollar cup into the garbage can, then he mopped the milk off the ground with a mop and vacuumed the kitchen to make sure there were no more glass shards. Next, he cleaned the counter off with a table cloth and washed his hands in the kitchen sink. When he was done, Sesshoumaru calmly reached behind him and caught Minah by the scruff of her dress. He proceeded to yank her off his head, but the sharp pain that shot up from his spine to his hairline made him stop.
Sesshoumaru stood there for a second, confused, then tried to yank the offending kid off his head, but felt the same sharp pain flash through the back of his head like thousands of tiny knives exploding on the back of his head and towards his eyes. Sesshoumaru tried to yank the kid off his head a third time, but Minah held fast to his hair. He would have gladly cut his hair off, but cutting his hair off would have been cutting off his pride and dignity. There was no way in his whole life that he was going to cut his hair off just because of some stupid kid. Thus, Sesshoumaru decided that it was best to swing his head around until Minah fell off his head hurt herself. It didn't matter if she got hurt, as long as she got the message. When Minah did not release his hair, Sesshoumaru began to swing his head around in wild circles, almost like a head-bang. Minah had not released his hair and just as Sesshoumaru was going to scream: "GET OFF MY HAIR!" Minah suddenly released his head, but not entirely. She did release his hair, but she didn't let go of his head and shifted herself so that her body covered his vision. Minah wrapped her tiny legs around Sesshoumaru's neck and opened the marker. Much to his horror, Sesshoumaru found Minah drawing very ugly pictures on his face, most of them being stick people holding flowers, and the bit more advanced ones were ugly princesses with huge earrings that looked as if they were on the verge of ripping the princess' ear off (that was if she were alive).
"ARRGH! Get off my face! NO! GET IF OFF MY FACE YOU CRAZY KID!" Sesshoumaru immediately regretted opening his mouth because the moment he opened his mouth Minah's marker went into his mouth coloring half his teeth and his tongue. Sesshoumaru gagged and finally kicked the kid off his face. "YOU STUPID THING! YOU IMPUDENT FOOL! HOW DARE YOU DRAW ALL OVER THIS SESSHOUMARU'S TEETH!" With that, Sesshoumaru fell into fits of coughing and spitting from the nasty taste of permanent markers on his tongue. The smell of the marker was practically unbearable and made him see stars, provided his very keen sense of smell. Minah giggled and danced around the floor, as Sesshoumaru repeated the process of spitting, gagging and cursing. Sesshoumaru's face began to twitch uncontrollably as Minah continued to dance around him in wild circles.
"Uncle Fluffy-sama?"
"I SAID… DON'T CALL ME UNCLE FLUFFY-SAMA, DAMMIT! IT'S UNCLE SESSHOUMARU! GOT IT? SES-SHOU-MAR-U!"
"Why not?"
"Because I said so!"
"But Inuyasha and Kagome always call you that!"
"SHUT UP!"
"No!"
"SO NOW I SEE YOU FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE!" Sesshoumaru shouted almost in a triumphant manner while pointing his finger at the kid that pouted angrily at him, "YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THE WORST KID IN THE WHOLE WORLD! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO IMPUDENT KIDS LIKE YOU?"
"No."
"YOU GO TO THE SESSHOUMARU JAIL! THAT'S WHERE YOU GO!"
"And what do you do in the Sesshoumaru Jail? Do you own it?"
"Yes. In fact, I will give you a taste of this Sesshoumaru's jail cell right now!" With that, Sesshoumaru bent down and picked Minah clear off the ground and hung her up on the coat peg near the door. Minah screamed and kicked wailing about her needing to be free. Sesshoumaru glared at the kid. Inuyasha was right all along! Who knew what the next accident she was going to cause? As far as Minah was hanging on the coat-peg, she was going to be clear out of his way. Sesshoumaru smirked and left while giving himself a pat on the back. Of course Inuyasha was stupid enough not to think of things he thought of! Sesshoumaru laughed manically, but his crazed laughter didn't last for long because he soon realized that he had dropped his laptop with all its important files in it. Sesshoumaru was ready to murder the kid.
"LEMME GO! LEMME GO! LEMME GO! LEMME GO! LEMME GO!" Sesshoumaru turned around to face his infuriating niece who lay hung up on the coat peg never ceasing her screams. He felt as if his head was going to explode. Oh how he regretted not believing Inuyasha. Minah had been with him for not even ten minutes and she was already making him go crazy. "MINAH WANT BATH! MINAH WANT TO DRAW!" Sesshoumaru's eyes turned red as he barred his sharp teeth at the kid. Minah didn't seem to notice him, because she continued to kick and scream and flail her arms senseless. However, Sesshoumaru made no attempts to take her off her prison. He let her hang there and scream her throat out.
"You will pay for making me destroy my laptop, you vile child!" Sesshoumaru spat.
Suddenly Minah stopped kicking her legs and screaming. She cocked her small head to the side and asked, "Uncle Fluffy-sama? What's vile?" Sesshoumaru drew in a huge mouthful of breath when she still continued to call him by that disgraceful name. He would have even preferred Uncle Sesshy than Fluffy, how he hated it when he was called Fluffy, it made no sense with his true manner. As for Fluffy, the one that young Inuyasha and young Kagome used often, it made him go crazy. It sounded as if he were some sort of softie that would always be nice and warm. Sesshoumaru definitely was not a softie warm type of guy.On the other hand, at least Sesshy was derived from his true name. And even if it was nearly as worse, Sesshy was like Sesshoumaru, and most kids did call him that, so it really didn't mean much to him.
"That is none of your business, you foolish child."
"I wanna know!"
"Well, you don't need to know!" Sesshoumaru crossed his arms across his chest, then suddenly an excellent idea began to formulate in his mind. Chuckling to himself, Sesshoumaru turned around and put on an evil grin. "I'll make a deal with you, Minah."
"No deal!"
"Just friggin' listen!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"FINE! IF YOU WANT TO GET STUCK ON THE CLOTHES PEG UNTIL THREE IN THE MORNING THEN BE MY GUEST!"
"Okay! What's your deal?"
Sesshoumaru smirked, now things were taking a turn, Inuyasha definitely was the half-wit he knew. "Well Minah, if you promise me that you won't go crazy and that you will listen to me, then I will tell you." Minah started to open her mouth, but Sesshoumaru quickly continued with: "I'm not finished yet! In return of me giving you the definition to the words I've used, I'll let you go. But you must behave yourself." Minah began to kick her legs and started to scream that she hated him. In the end, Sesshoumaru had no choice but to take her down. No sooner had Sesshoumaru released his niece, she ran all over the place shaking her head and screaming her head off. Before Sesshoumaru knew it, within moments the place was in shambles. Sesshoumaru stood there with his jaw on the floor. "I DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING YET!" Minah ignored Sesshoumaru and ran into the bathroom.
Suddenly, Sesshoumaru remembered the story that Inuyasha told him about Minah melting Crayola crayons in hot water. He remembered Inuyasha telling him about it, andthen, he never believed it. Now things were different. Hebelieved every single word Inuyasha told him aboutMinah, even his suit incident.The very idea of the tub being clogged againhorrified Sesshoumaru. Without thinking twice, he immediately rushed to grab the wild kid that danced into the bathroom. What Sesshoumaru saw made him freeze dead in his tracks, his face turned chalk white at the mess. The toilet lid had been taken off and there was a soggy box of Crayola, and Minah had already filled the tub with very hot water and was dumping the crayons in the tub. "Minah wants to make pretty colors!" She shouted happily as she reached for a bottle of bubble bath, which was inside her side bag she had with her. Minah unscrewed the cap and poured the whole content into the tub. As if in slow motion, the bubbles swelled and began to climb higher and higher, while Sesshoumaru moved his head up along with the rising bubbles. "pretty colors!" Minah screamed as she tossed some more crayons into the tub.
"You incompetent moron!" Sesshoumaru shouted without thinking much about Minah's age, "You freaking idiot! You're worse than Inuyasha! Turn the damn tap off! NOW!"
"NO!"
"WHAT? WHY YOU LITTLE… YOU… YOU…" Sesshoumaru was at loss with words. He did not know what else to tell his niece. "DO YOU EVEN COMPREHEND THE CIRCUMSTANCES BEHIND LETTING THE WATER RUN LIKE THAT?" Minah bounced around the bathroom never even bothering to turn the tap off. By this time, the bubbles had reached the ceiling and the water was slopping out from the sides of the tub and onto the floor. Not knowing what else to do, Sesshoumaru began to jump up and down on the floor screaming obscenities. "DAMN YOU! YOU SHIT! YOU WORTHLESS BRAT! GET OUT!" Minah danced around the room while Sesshoumaru quickly took the moment to turn the tap off. No sooner had Sesshoumaru stopped the water from running, Minah stopped dancing and started to wail waterfalls. Sesshoumaru sighed. He now knew the reason why Inuyasha didn't like looking after Minah, she was a complete nuisance and was extremely spoiled. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SESSHOUMARU DOES TO SPOILED SHITHEADS LIKE YOU?" Minah frowned and shook her head still bawling her eyes out, "I KILL THEM!"
With that, Sesshoumaru leapt at Minah who dashed out of his way. Instead, Sesshoumaru went crashing into the tub, wetting his whole head in bubbles and crayon wax. Sesshoumaru pulled himself out of the bathtub frowning. His whole upper body was soaked. Cursing under his breath, Sesshoumaru quickly unplugged the water and started to dry himself. The sounds of Minah going into Inuyasha's bedroom made the dog demon freeze in terror. "Minah want to have fun!"
"YOU WILL NOT ENTER MY BROTHER'S ROOM! GET OUT NOW!" Sesshoumaru screamed, dropping the towel on the floor. He ran on all fours and rushed to rescue Inuyasha's room. The last thing he wanted was to get into a huge argument knowing that Inuyasha loved to get back on all the times he blamed the half-breed for all the accidents in the apartment. Sesshoumaru skidded to a halt, but it was too late. The curtain lay on the ground mangled and shredded into ribbons, while the bed had been striped of its blankets and bed sheets. The pillow lay on the ground with its feathers scattered all over the floor like a thin blanket of snow. The closet door had been torn off its hinges and most of Inuyasha's suits had been shredded into nothing more but rags. As Sesshoumaru stared he dropped to his knees. Although he did not fear Inuyasha, he did fear the long hours of arguments that cut through his sleeping time. "Oh no…" He moaned to himself as he clutched his throbbing head, "Oh god… Inuyasha won't be happy. ALRIGHT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH! YOU WILL STAY ON THE COAT PEG FOR THE REST OF YOUR STAY HERE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU PEE AND SHIT IN YOUR PANTS, I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE HUNGRY, BUT YOU'RE STAYING THERE!" With that, Sesshoumaru lunged at Minah who tried to jump out of his way.
Finally, things were on the upper side for Sesshoumaru because he managed to catch Minah before she could do anything else. He caught her by her ankle and lifted her clear off the ground holding her upside-down. "Let me go!" Minah screamed, "Minah wants to play!" With that, Minah suddenly began to wail and wail. Sesshoumaru ignored Minah's cries and carried her back to the coat peg and hung her back on the peg. "Then can Minah watch Inuyasha?"
"No. I will not tolerate watching such childish things. End of discussion." Minah pouted and began to swing her legs in the air and shout over and over that she was not going to stop screaming until Sesshoumaru turned the television off. Suddenly, it occurred to him that several nights before, he had smashed the flat-screen television to pieces when he banged his head on practically all the household items. Sesshoumaru grinned showing all his sharp canines at Minah who still had not stopped crying. "I'm very sorry kid, but the television is broken, thanks to my temper." Sesshoumaru emphasized on the word temper hoping that it would frighten Minah, but she still did not crease her crying and continued to fill the room up with her annoying wails. He paused and repeated the word very slowly: "TEMP-PER!" Still, Minah was non-reactant.Sesshoumaru sighed then rolled his eyes; looking after Minah was definitely going to be very difficult.
Inuyasha dashed down the streets of Hong Kong after having jumped out from the taxi in a rush. When he stopped in front of the rendez-vous point, he realized that Kagome was not there. Letting out a sigh of relief, Inuyasha sat down on the front steps of the HSBC building. He checked his watch and realized that it read nine thirty. This meant only one thing: Kagome was hours late. Inuyasha thinned his lips and tapped his foot on the ground waiting for his co-CEO to appear. Finally, not too long after he had arrived, Inuyasha spotted Kagome rushing down the streets. Her long, blue-black locks swirled around her as she pushed past people. Inuyasha immediately noticed that she looked extremely nice. She had on a pair of dark-blue jean Capri pants along with a silk, hot-pink tank top and a lighter, rose-pink cardigan on. She wore pink high heels and was carrying a white hand bag.
By the time Kagome reached Inuyasha, he was standing. "Well, we're late, are we not?" He asked her raising one of his eyebrows. "No need to make an excuse, because I just came about two minutes ago." Now it was Kagome's turn to raise her eyebrow at Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked away from her and held out the black carrier bag. Kagome blinked at the bag before him, making Inuyasha more nervous. He shifted from one foot to the other and bit his lower lip with his fangs. "Umm… that day… you uh… fell into the bay and ruined your shoes, so uh… I got you a… new pair of shoes. They aren't exactly the same pair that you had, but they're just as good." Kagome smiled at Inuyasha, making him suck his breath in. It was the type of smile that made Inuyasha wonder if she was going to taunt him or if she was going to say those offending words. Inuyasha stiffened and waited for him to land prostrate on the ground. To his relief, Kagome reached over and took the bag out of his hand and gave him a friendly hug.
"Aww… how nice of you!" She pulled away from Inuyasha and asked him where he was going to take her.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to choose. I mean, we have the whole day to ourselves, so you can pick what you want to do. Shopping, walking, driving, talking, eating, you name it."
"Geez Inuyasha, how nice of you! I'm lucky I didn't over-dress myself because I really feel like going to Ocean Park right now."
"Okay then!" Inuyasha stood up and hailed a taxi. He opened the door for Kagome and ushered her into the taxi, then followed suit. "Ocean Park." The taxi zoomed off towards the direction of Ocean Park while Kagome smiled happily. They passed the major city parts of Hong Kong and soon found themselves passing right through the forests and the mountains until Ocean Park loomed ahead. The taxi stopped and Inuyasha paid the taxi-driver. "Keep the change." He said in Cantonese.
"I didn't know that you spoke Cantonese!" Kagome exclaimed in shock. Inuyasha just shrugged and led her to the ticket booth to buy the "All-day, all-rides" ticket. When they got their tickets, they went into the Amusement park. They walked around the place a bit before they really got into getting on the rides. The rides weren't half as exciting as the ones in Six Flags and Great America, but they were good enough to shout for fun. They bought pink cotton candies and ate them while waiting for the next ride, which had a very long line. As they were waiting, Kagome suddenly spotted the ocean arena and ran off towards it. "Ooh! Maybe they might have penguins there! Come on!" Inuyasha ran after Kagome without a problem and let her lead him to the ocean Arena.
Kagome stopped in front of the entrance panting. There she spotted a bunch of penguins doing several tricks onstage. Her eyes immediately began to sparkle with anticipation, and before he could stop her, Kagome dashed down the stairs and bounded all the way up front to see the penguins that swam and wiggled. With one great leap, Inuyasha jumped down the two-hundred flights of stairs and landed gracefully on the ground. "So, you must have a passion for penguins." Kagome stopped drooling on the tank and raised her eyes to look Inuyasha straight in the eyes. Inuyasha nervously cleared his throat then: "Well, the last time you had those fuzzy blue penguin slippers and the penguin-printed pajamas, so I figured that you loved penguins. Am I wrong?"
"No! Absolutely not! I love penguins! No, I adore them! They're my favorite animals!"
"So, you wanna see them right up close?" Inuyasha asked, not taking his eyes off a small black penguin that had come bouncing out of the it's pen and onto the platform with a loud plop!
"I'm seeing them right now…" Kagome breathed. Inuyasha rolled his eyes, then pulled Kagome onto his back and jumped off the ground and over the fence on the other side. Then he lowered her to the ground.
"There you go. Now you can touch it."
"You're not supposed to do that!" Kagome shouted at Inuyasha while pointing an accusing finger at him.
"What? I was only trying to help!"
"SIT!"
BAM!
"What was that for!"
"We aren't supposed to be here… no! I cannot resist touching that cute little thing! How dare you Inuyasha! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" Inuyasha pushed his face off the ground only to feel the weight of some animal on his head.
"Ha-ya, ha-ya! Ha-ya, ha-ya! Ya got in trouble! Ya got hurt! Ha-ya, ha-ya! Ha-ya, ha-ya!" Inuyasha shook his head off and a penguin came sliding off his head. It hit the ground with another plop and continued to laugh manically, annoying him. But the penguin did not annoy Kagome, because she squealed in delight and grabbed the penguin and squeezed it calling it the cutest thing in the world. When the sit command finally wore off, Inuyasha pushed himself off the ground and stood up. He glowered down at the penguin who was now trying to pull itself out of Kagome's vise-like grasp, but was not succeeding. Although Kagome was hugging the living daylights out of the penguin, it still managed to laugh and kick its tiny black feet around. Finally it gave up and attached itself to Kagome's shirt calling out: "Mama!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the penguin who was laughing in Kagome's arm despite the fact that she was practically hugging him to the point where his eyes were literally bulging out.
Inuyasha mentally rubbed his temple then reached over and plucked the penguin out of Kagome's arms. "Get off Kagome. We have other things to do!" The penguin continued to wiggle and squirm in his grasp until he tossed it in the water. Instead of hearing upset cries, Inuyasha heard the penguin laughing its tiny head off in the water. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at each other then back at the penguin who was now swimming around and shoving other penguins out of his way. Taking Kagome's arm, Inuyasha stomped away from the crazed penguin and jumped over the water that surrounded the little island they were on. When he was sure that they were far from the offending penguin, Inuyasha quickly released Kagome's arm. "Why'd you have to squeeze and hug that stupid thing anyways?"
"Huh? What thing?"
"That stupid, annoying, berating, fucked up penguin! That's what I'm talking about!"
"Oh my goodness! I cannot believe the words that are pouring out from your mouth!" Kagome shouted back, "How could you use such words on a harmless penguin that's done nothing to harm you?"
"Yeah it did, stupid!"
"WHAT?"
"I said it did! It sunk it's nasty feet in your arms, that's what's wrong!"
A look of comprehension dawned on Kagome's face as her eyes widened in obvious and what seemed like delight. Still, Inuyasha wasn't sure if she was giving a nasty grin to give him hell for harassing an annoying penguin. "… Oh I see it now…" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at Kagome who had now taken to pointing at him with an ah-ha expression on her face. "You were jealous of that penguin weren't you?" Inuyasha immediately stiffened, but it didn't last long because he straightened his back and put the haughtiest expression he could muster on his face. In the meantime, Kagome was laughing and dancing around him chanting quite childishly, "Inuyasha's jealous! Inuyasha's jealous! Inuyasha's jealous!" He had to say something, anything offending that would make her shut up. So, he closed his eyes as if he was irritated then turned his head away with a loud, KEH! Then he added:
"Who the hell would be jealous of a fat woman like you? You need to go on a diet!"
"That again?" Kagome asked, looking tired. "How many times have you said that to me?"
"Oh yeah? You wanna hear a real insult you ugly old hag!"
"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A HAG, YOU OLD FART!"
"WHAAAAT? OLD FART? OY! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE CALLING THE OLD FART? YOU'RE THE OLD FART!" Kagome pressed her palm against her chest and let out a sputtered of disbelief. Now his plan was working! As long as he got the argument going then Kagome would forget all about her ridiculous idea of him being jealous of one dingy little penguin. Wait a second, lets back up a bit here, Inuyasha thought, maybe Kagome's right, no, she is right! Oh my… by Sesshoumaru's fluffy pelt, I'm jealous of a penguin! A penguin! Inuyasha shook his head trying to rid the horrific thought of him being jealous of a penguin out of his mind.
"I am not an old fart… first of all, I'm a girl, and second of all, at least I don't have silver hair!"
"Hey! That's a family trait!"
"So? It makes you look a million years older than you really are!"
"Really?" Inuyasha placed one hand on his head and patted his silver hair down. No, this was not going to go. Before he knew it, he grabbed Kagome's arm and ran away as fast as he could, not knowing exactly where he was going. Finally, when they were far away from the crowd and the mess, Inuyasha stopped. He kept his back facing Kagome, pleased with the fact that he had her completely baffled. He let the silence grow longer and more uncomfortable until he quickly turned around, making Kagome jump slightly. "Kagome," He started seriously, "I am asking you to be honest," Kagome nodded, her large brown eyes wider than the size of saucer plates. "Do I really look that old? I mean, what if other people are whispering about you being a gold digger and all just because I look like I'm a million years old!" Inuyasha clutched his hair and pulled it down so that his hair stuck to his face. Then he released his hair so that the volume returned once more into his hair. Next, he pulled his hair up into a ponytail with his fist and held it up. "Do I look younger now?"
Kagome suddenly burst out laughing, now confusing Inuyasha further. "Oh Inuyasha, you can be so cute sometimes! No, you don't look like a grandfather, and yes you do look younger with your hair tied up into a ponytail." With that, Kagome gently reached up and pried Inuyasha's fingers so that he released his hair, letting it fall back into it's usual position. "But I think you look better with your hair down. And I especially like your little puppy ears." The giggling woman reached up and yanked one of his ears irritating him a bit. But he made no move to swat Kagome's hands off his ear. In the end, Kagome willingly released his ear and it twitched slightly.
"Aww! That's so cute!" Before Inuyasha knew it, he found Kagome hugging him much like she would have hugged a teddy bear. For a moment he blushed, then his whole face turned tomato red, thanks to the loss of blood-circulation.
"Kagome… I can't breathe…" He rasped, but Kagome made no attempts to release him and continued to shake him back and forth, further worsening his condition. Not even a minute passed before Inuyasha lost his patience and screamed, "I CAN'T FRIGGIN' BREATHE WRETCH!" With that, he roughly wrenched himself out of the female CEO's grip and shouted as loudly as he possibly could: "KEH! Are you trying to kill me or something? No wonder all the kids run away from you, you hug them to death!"
"WHAT? Hey! At least Shippou, Rin, and Kohaku don't run away from me!"
"Yeah, but they're freakishly super-humanly kids that's why!"
"Oh, so you're saying that Rin has horns sprouting out of her head?"
"Yeah!"
"How dare you say that about Rin? She is a very sweet kid and may be slightly mischievous, but otherwise she is a lovely kid! SIT!" The word Inuyasha had recently gained phobia from forced him to land prostrate on the ground, and it definitely hurt, perhaps more than before. So maybe the magnitude of his punishment varied from Kagome's mood. From now on, he had to learn to be more cautious around Kagome, or else the magnitude of her sit would eventually create a fifty-kilometer deep and wide crater, thus killing him. How he wished he could take the stupid prayer beads off his neck. When the spell of his punishment wore off, Inuyasha sat up and tried his best to pull the beads off, but just as his many attempts before, it glowed pink and refused to come off.
"What the hell did you do to this?"
"I didn't do anything, it's something that Kaede made for me."
"Humph."
Kagome reached over and pulled Inuyasha up to his feet and dragged him away as if she were walking away with her baby blanket in her hand. Of course she really had no choice to do that, Inuyasha didn't blame her… partially… because the spell still hadn't worn off. I love my mom more than ever! At least because I'm half human the spell doesn't last as long as it does on Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha snickered at the thought of Sesshoumaru's awkward and humiliating position. Finally, the full effects of the spell wore off and Inuyasha quickly straightened himself and planted his feet firmly into the ground, forcing Kagome to stop. "Why are you heading towards the rides?" He asked randomly as if forgetting about the situation at hand, "We're supposed to head towards the escalator so that we can go back and get changed for the dinner. I've made reservations at Hong Kong's best restaurant with the best seats."
"You did? When?"
"A three days ago."
"Why did you made reservations so long ago?"
"Because, the table I chose is the most wanted seat for everyone in Hong Kong, that's why…" Inuyasha didn't forget to add "stupid" at the end of his sentence as the two stepped on the elevator that led them down the steep mountain hills. He waited for Kagome to say the offending word, but much to his luck, she did not. In fact, she did not look frazzled at all; maybe it was because she was so used to him calling her stupid. Hmmm… maybe I should start calling her dumb or retard, that should give the full effects of her anger. Inuyasha let out a silent sigh, Kagome always looked best when she was angry.
"Oh. Okay then. What time are we supposed to be there by?"
"Be ready by six. I'll come pick you up in a taxi because Sesshoumaru made me break my car. Six o'clock, okay?" Inuyasha stuck his arm out to hail a taxi, and when the taxi came, shoved Kagome right into the car.
"Okay." But Inuyasha didn't hear her because he slammed the door shut and forced the taxi driver to go. Once the taxi was out of his sight, Inuyasha waved one hand to hail another taxi. The taxi came and stopped in front of him. Inuyasha jumped onto the cab and gave his address. Unfortunately for Inuyasha, he just got into a cab with a reckless driver that was nosier than even his own dad. The moment Inuyasha stepped into the cab, the driver turned right around and asked him where he was going, then he added his question of what his name was. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and just said that his name was "Dave." The taxi-driver nodded and started the engine up, and slammed his foot down on the accelerator. Inuyasha bounced right forward and bopped his head against the back of the passenger seat and fell backwards into an ungraceful heap. The driver didn't even bother to apologize and continued to ask annoying questions that were starting to get on Inuyasha's nerves.
"So, what you do in Ocean Park."
"It's none of your damn business." Inuyasha snapped grudgingly while rubbing his hand on his forehead. The driver shrugged as he suddenly turned the steering wheel so that the car went sailing to the side, also knocking Inuyasha over to the side so that his face squashed up against the window. The driver turned his steering wheel in the opposite direction as he did when he was turning the corner so that Inuyasha rolled over to the other side of the cab and somehow hit his shin against the car door. Cursing loudly, Inuyasha rolled back into his sitting position and this time put his seatbelt on. "What the hell are you trying to do? Get me killed?"
The driver ignored Inuyasha's last comment and continued to speak, "You name Dave right? Then why you look like Inuyasha?" Inuyasha grit his fangs together, this was what he hated most about being who he was. Geez dad, thanks for making yourself so fucking famous! He thought to himself sarcastically.
"I'm an Inuyasha-wannabe." The driver raised one eyebrow at him through the rear-view mirror before he suddenly realized the light turned red and slammed his feet down on the brakes. Inuyasha went tumbling forward once more, but this time the seatbelt saved him from the painful ordeal. "Would you please learn how to drive properly? You're going to kill someone one of these… DAAAAAYS!" Inuyasha screamed the last word out when the driver slammed his foot down on the accelerator. And so by the time the driver pulled up to his apartment, Inuyasha's hair became spiky and funky-looking from all the crazy driving. Inuyasha immediately tossed the money at the driver and kicked the door open and ran out without asking for his change. The driver didn't seem to mind because he drove off in a frenzy the moment Inuyasha slammed the door shut. Muttering about crazy, inconsiderate cabs, Inuyasha wearily trudged up the stairs while pulling out his keys to unlock the door.
However, poor Inuyasha was completely perplexed the moment he saw the condition of the home. The tables were upturned by some strange neko-slash-inu claw marks, and some were unmistakably Sesshoumaru's poisonous hands judging by the glow of green puddles around the area where Sesshoumaru had slashed a table in half. Inuyasha, not aware of his surroundings because of his initial shock, absent-mindedly stepped into his apartment. There were crazy crayon patterns everywhere on the walls, desks, counters, and half the clothes (which were essentially Inuyasha's) were spilled out on the floors, all of them shredded beyond recognition. There were water tracks, mud-puddles, bubbles, and shaving cream thrown all over the furniture and the floors. Inuyasha knew that this was all from Minah and Sesshoumaru made no attempts to stop her. So, he threw his head back and screamed as loudly ask he could: "MINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The sound of a little girl giggling came from the room, but Inuyasha had no trouble tracking her scent down. He stomped across the room and tore Sesshoumaru's favorite plant out of his way, smashing the ceramic pot. Immediately, as fast as Inuyasha tossed the pot away, Sesshoumaru came flying out of one of the doors. He had been holding onto a scrubber and a bucket of soap water. His hair was tied up in a topknot so that his hair didn't get on the floor. The moment Sesshoumaru saw the plant in its ruined state; he narrowed his eyes at his brother who smirked. "What is the meaning of this? Is this the treatment I get for watching over some crazy kid?" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at his brother and the two stood there glaring each other down for a moment. Finally, Inuyasha broke eye contact with his brother and dropped Minah on the floor and picked up the remains of one of his suits. He silently, but angrily shook it at his brother, who had plonked the bucket down and had crossed his arms across his chest and was also leaning against the wall.
"Well? You can't even control the kid from getting into my room?"
"So? It's nothing but half-breed clothes, why should I care?"
"Oh really? So maybe you're the one that did this!"
"WHO? ME?" Sesshoumaru asked, suddenly losing his calm demeanor. "Why are you blaming me? I don't even want to touch that!"
"So it was you! I should have known! And all this mess, the crayons, the mud puddles, the broken furniture was all instigated by you, wasn't it?" Sesshoumaru immediately placed his hands on his hips and began to stumble on his words, not knowing what else to say. Inuyasha, in the meantime, was still holding onto the giggling kid and had his hands crossed across his chest as well. He continued to wait while tapping his foot on the floor impatiently. "Okay then, how do you explain the green poison puddles everywhere? Huh? What the hell do you expect me to wear? I have to go see Kagome in about three hours from now and I highly doubt I'll find anything suitable to wear, thanks to your irresponsibility."
"My irresponsibility? Hey! Who the hell do you think you are, my older brother?"
"No. But at least I have more sense than you do. Oh, and you have some crayon wax in your hair." Sesshoumaru growled in annoyance before he finally sighed in defeat. There was no use in arguing. He had to agree that Minah had caused much more damage than he had anticipated. Inuyasha, in his part, was shocked beyond anything else. Out of all the most-feared people, Minah just did not know who was scary and who was not scary. He was even more surprised to see that Minah had somehow miraculously survived Sesshoumaru's wrath. Suddenly from out of nowhere, this strange song started to play. Inuyasha screamed and held his hands over his ears as the person screamed: "'INCH ALLAAAAAAAH!" Inuyasha glared at Sesshoumaru who sighed and rushed over to his room. For a while the place was silent, and just as Inuyasha was about to head towards his bedroom to find himself something suitable to wear, when he heard Sesshoumaru scream angrily.
Without further delay, Inuyasha dropped one of his clothes that had survived and rushed into Sesshoumaru's bedroom. When he saw the sight of the room, Inuyasha understood why Sesshoumaru had screamed angrily. The whole room was a mess, and Minah was in the center of the room with smashed CDs scattered all around her. She was grinning from ear-to-ear as Adamo continued to filter out from Sesshoumaru's stereo player. Secretly, Inuyasha was glad that Sesshoumaru's stupid collection of Adamo was destroyed, but he certainly did not enjoy the old man's voice that came quivering out from the stereo player. Sesshoumaru himself was hopping uncharacteristically up and down screaming at Minah with his index finger pointing accusingly at the little girl. Inuyasha smirked as he calmly bent over and picked up the remains of one of Adamo CDs. He grinned to himself for a while, but the very thought of his ruined room made Inuyasha's grin slip into a frown. With that, Inuyasha joined Sesshoumaru in casting a gargantuan shadow over Minah, who had now taken a liking to dancing along with Adamo's annoying song…
Kagome was grinning from ear to ear when she entered her hotel room. Inuyasha had been all but polite for the whole day, which made her feel happy. She supposed that all of Inuaysha's politeness came from the prayer beads she set around his neck. Hopefully, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru would learn not to fight… at least in her presence. Kagome literally danced into the bathroom and gave herself an once-over. She was lucky to assume that there was going to be a glamorous cocktail party, because she at least had something to wear. When Kagome had learned that there was not going to be a cocktail party, she was highly disappointed, not because of the party that never existed, but because she had added several ounces of unnecessary weight to her luggage. But now she had found a reason for packing a glamorous dress. Kagome twirled around in front of the full-length mirror. The back of her dress was low-cut and so it showed her elegant back, and that was barely covered with long silken draw-strings that were tied up at the way top. The dress was unevenly cut, so that it was long in the back and shorter in the front. The back part of the dress was cut up into strips so that they flowed around her back quite easily.
Smiling happily to herself, Kagome did one last twirl before slipping into her black shoes and picking her small beaded clutch bag before floating out of the door in happiness. Little did she know that she was happier because she was finally having dinner with Inuyasha (alone) than about the weight of her bag. When Kagome came out of the hotel building, she noticed that dusk was coming soon, she had missed most of the spectacular colors of the sunset, but she was too happy to notice. Gripping her clutch bag in anticipation and nervousness, Kagome checked her watch and waited for Inuyasha to show up. The time read six ten, which meant that she was late and so was Inuyasha. Kagome sighed and wondered why he wasn't there. Usually, Inuyasha was there early or on the dot. Kagome quickly whipped her phone out and called Inuyasha's cell phone number. The dial tone kept on going, and finally after the twentieth ring, Inuyasha picked up.
"What?" He snapped into the phone.
"Inuyasha, it's me."
"Yeah, I know it's you… GET AWAY FROM MY ROOM… yeah, continue."
"It's six-ten and you're still not here! What happened?"
"What… SESSHOUMARU, GODDAMMIT, CONTROL MINAH FOR LIKE TEN SECONDS WILL YA?"
"Inuyasha? What the hell is going on? You told me that we're going to have dinner together and then..."
"MINAH WANTS DINNER TOO! CAN MINAH GO UNCLE INUYASHA?" Kagome furrowed her brow in confusion, who was this Minah girl and what was she doing in Inuyasha's house. Inuyasha must have told her that she couldn't because she began to scream: "MINAH WANT'S TO GO! PLEASE MAKE UNCLE YASHIE TAKE MINAH WITH HIM? PLEEEEASE UNCLE FLUFFY?" Kagome stifled a giggle.
"Sesshoumaru…" Kagome heard Inuyasha growl, "If you allow that ass… I mean, that kid to follow me, consider yourself dead!" Silence… "Who gives a shit if I'm younger than you are? You're the one who promised me that you're going to look after the friggin' kid!"
"INUYASHA! TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE?"
"Look… Kirara asked me to look after her kid because of her stupid feminist meetings, and then I already made dinner reservations on the day I was to watch her… which is today, by the way… and then I asked Sesshoumaru to look after her, since he has nothing better to do. And then… when I come home, I see that the whole place is A FUCKING PIG STY! DID YA HEAR THAT YOU SONUVABITCH? And now, when I'm trying to leave this kid grabs onto my legs and refuses to let go of me unless I take her with me!"
"IS UNCLE YASHIE TALKING TO AUNTIE KAGOME?"
"Shaddup! Sesshoumaru, get this fucking kid off me!"
"I'M TRYING GODDAMMIT!"
"Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru… SIT! BEG!" The sound of two figures hitting the floor was heard, which meant that Kagome's command went through nicely through the telephone. "I cannot believe the two of you! Using such profane languages in front of a little girl!"
"SHIT!"
Kagome opened her mouth in shock stared at the phone. "Inuyasha…" She growled.
"NO! No! Wait! We can explain! Don't sit me yet!"
"Don't beg me either!" Sesshoumaru's voice tickled into the phone.
"Well?"
"You see, Kirara swears in front of Minah! She's been saying these words for ages!"
"Are you lying to me?"
"NO! We swear over our own graves."
"YES! I GOT HER OFF YOU… ARGH!"
"Look Kagome, I'm coming out right now… stay away! Stay on Sesshoumaru!"
"But Minah wanna see Kagome!"
"NO! This is… uh… not like Chucky Cheese! It's a boring adult restaurant where they play boring music. I'm sure you'll have so much more fun with Uncle Sesshoumaru, don't you think so?" Kagome impatiently tapped her feet on the floor waiting for Inuyasha to announce that he was out of hell. "Please… no! Get off of me! WHY ME?"
"Look Inuyasha, why don't you tell me your address and I'll come over there."
"That's a good idea, but you really don't want to be here."
"Why not?"
"Kagome… I'll give you my address, but you have to…" Inuyasha lowered his voice, "You have to wait outside the apartment complex or else Minah's going to latch herself onto you."
"MINAH HEARD! UNCLE FLUFFY? CAN I GO TOO?"
"Why the hell do you always have to cause trouble? You know what?" Inuyasha snarled, "If you keep on clinging onto me, I'm going to call your mom and stick you with the nursery! Is that what you want?" Silence, "Well, if you don't get off me in ten seconds, I'm really going to call your mom and tell her how misbehaved you were today, and how you destroyed half our apartment and clogged our damn bathtub again for the third time this year." The sound of wailing filled the phone up, so that Kagome had to pull her phone away from her ear. "KAGOME? YOU STLL THERE?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Good. Here's my address…"
"Wait! I need a piece of paper and pencil… shoot… oh right! The front desk! Hang on!" Kagome turned and ran back into the hotel. She breathlessly stopped in front of the front desk and asked the person there for a pencil and a piece of memo paper. "Okay, go ahead. Uh-huh… yeah… okay…" She scribbled the address down on the piece of paper and read it out to Inuyasha, who confirmed and then she thanked him and hung up. Just as she thanked the man at the front desk, she noticed that a taxi had come up and ran to catch it. Miraculously, Kagome managed to climb into the taxi and show the driver the address to Inuyasha's apartment and the car zoomed off and down the mountain where the hotel resided. Little did Kagome know the chaos and the horror that was in store for her…
