Chapter 14- Tired, annoyed, and… OH Look! Pie!

Kagome yawned as she and Sango finished checking in and started to go back for their luggage. "I'm tired, what time is it?" She asked Sango. "About one o'clock in the morning…" Sango replied, yawning.  "We didn't get a good chance to sleep did we?" Sango thought out loud. Kagome shook her head sleepily and looked around to see if she could find Inu-yasha or Miroku. She spotted Miroku getting slapped by a furious maid and then she saw Inu-yasha by a sword display, talking to a waitress. Kagome was curious what they were talking about and got so caught up in straining her ears that she ran into the entrance doors.

Sango burst out laughing and pulled Kagome over to an open door. Kagome sighed and walked out to the car. "What were you so caught up in?" Sango asked, still giggling. "I saw Inu-yasha talking to a waitress…" Kagome trailed off. Sango stared blankly at her for a moment, and then understood. "Are you jealous? You don't even know if Inu-yasha likes her!" Sango exclaimed. Kagome blushed "I am NOT jealous… why would I be? Come on, I'm tired." Kagome said, changing the subject. She grabbed her bags and started walking into the hotel. At that moment Inu-yasha came out and saw Kagome. "Hey, 'lemme help you with that." Inu-yasha said stubbornly, trying to be nice. He tried to taking the heaviest of Kagome's bags, but Kagome yanked them out of his reach. She stomped off muttering loudly how she was quite capable of carrying her own luggage.

Inu-yasha walked back to the car and got his luggage huffily. Sango stopped him before he could go back. "Kagome saw you with that waitress." She said to him. Inu-yasha stared at her "So? Oh is that why she seemed mad at me?" "Well, I think she was jealous. What was going on with the girl anyways?" Sango asked him suspiciously. Inu-yasha snorted "She saw me looking at the sword display and asked me to enter their sword tournament. That's all." He explained with an attitude. Sango sighed, happy it wasn't anything else. "Good. Kagome and I are in room 666 and you guys are in 667. On your way up, let Miroku know." She walked into the hotel with her luggage to find her room and Kagome

Inu-yasha followed her and went to find Miroku. He found him walking up to a young waitress, already wearing a slap mark on his cheek. Inu-yasha walked over and hit Miroku with his bag. "Oww! What was that for??" Miroku wined, stopping to glare at Inu-yasha. "We are in room 667, go get your luggage and bring it up." Inu-yasha said calmly and walked to the elevator. As he was waiting, Yuri walked past and noticed him. She walked quietly up to him, trying to scare Inu-yasha, but he heard her. She jumped at his back and yelled. "Boo!" she giggled. Inu-yasha, unaffected turned to her and raised his eyebrow at her.

Yuri pouted "I didn't scare you?" She asked sadly. "No, I heard you." Inu-yasha replied and turned back to waiting for the elevator. Yuri grinned "Oh yeah, I forgot hehe." She then got around to the front of him and smiled sweetly. Inu-yasha sighed; annoyed at the amount of time the elevator was taking, and exasperated at Yuri. He wanted to get to his room and find Kagome. Yuri giggled and stared dreamily at Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha heard footsteps coming from behind him and turned to see Miroku coming. Miroku grinned at Inu-yasha, then saw Yuri and grinned even wider. "Ah, who's your friend Inu-yasha?" Miroku asked eyeing Yuri. Inu-yasha glared at Miroku and didn't reply. "Hiyas! I'm Kasahara Yuri! You're a friend of Inu-chan's?" Miroku snuffled a laugh at what she called him "Yes, I am. I would ask you to go out with me, but since I see you with Inu-yasha…"  Miroku trailed off. Inu-yasha punched him on the head very hard "It's not like that dumb-ass!!"

Yuri blushed and giggled. "Well, I have to get back to work, bye Inu-chan!" Yuri said happily and waved good-bye to him before running off into the kitchen. Inu-yasha growled under his breath and looked down at Miroku on the floor. He was unconscious. So Inu-yasha left him there, gabbed his bags, and stepped into the elevator that finally opened.

Inu-yasha found his and Kagome's room and dropped his stuff off into his room. Outside of Kagome's room Inu-yasha sighed heavily, "I hope she isn't really mad at me… she's stupid if she is…" he said under his breath. He rapped lightly on the door and waited for somebody to answer. Miroku walked up behind him, trying to be quiet and hit Inu-yasha for knocking him unconscious but he was still a little dizzy and fell against the wall loudly, "Hey Miroku, did you sleep well?" Inu-yasha asked sarcastically without turning around. Miroku sighed and punched Inu-yasha softly, "Are you worried or something?" Inu-yasha turned around unaware that the door behind him quietly slid open, Kagome in the doorway.

"Well ya! Sheesh I mean this girl I met before is flirting with me and I can't make it clear to her that I do NOT like her! Plus I haven't gotten a good sleep in forever and a tournament to go to the day after TOMORROW!!" He trembled slightly, and took breaths to clear his anger. "Where is Kagome anyway-"He stopped as he started to turn, because right before he started to turn, he heard something that sounded like a giggle- Kagome's giggle. He turned slowly this time and saw Kagome in the doorway, trying to stop her self from laughing.

"Inu-yasha, was every word you just said true?" Kagome asked and looked Inu-yasha straight into the eyes, something nobody had done to him in a long time. Inu-yasha fumbled for words, Kagome's brown eyes seeming to choke him so he could not speak so Inu-yasha merely nodded. This made Kagome even more amused at the situation,  the laughter flowing freely, "I'm glad…" Kagome said and dropped to Inu-yasha literally falling into his arms and gripping his shirt so hard her knuckles whitened. "Kagome?? What's wrong??" Inu-yasha asked worriedly, she seemed to have fainted. "She must have fallen asleep…" Miroku concluded and chuckled. The two sat there for long minutes, Kagome cradled in Inu-yasha's arms, Inu-yasha stroking Kagome's hair and whispering things for only Kagome to hear in her dreams.

Soon after sitting in the room for at least 20 minutes, Sango went into the hall to see what in the world was going on. To her surprise, Sango found the hanyou sitting up against the wall, fast asleep with Kagome in his arms, her mouth open slightly. "This is embarrassing, walking down the hall to see two teenagers sleeping in the hallway outside of their own frickin' rooms!" She shook Inu-yasha, "Inu-yasha wake up, you're out in the hallway!" Inu-yasha grunted and yawned, his bright fangs gleaming. "Huh? Oh, right…sure, the hallway." Inu-yasha mumbled and fell back to sleep. Sango punched Inu-yasha in the head, "You're IN the hallway stupid! WAKE UP!" Miroku clamped a hand over Sango's mouth and held her closely against him, "Shhhh, you'll wake up the whole hotel if you scream like that again!" He warned her quietly.

"Heh, yeah I guess you're right." She shook Kagome gently this time, "Kagome, wake up and go to bed…you and Inu-yasha fell asleep in the hallway!" Kagome yawned and blinked sleepily, "Okay, just a sec." She shook Inu-yasha lightly, he woke with a start, "What's wrong!? Where's Kagome!?" Sango laughed loudly and Miroku stifled a chuckle as Kagome told Inu-yasha that she was okay and that they both fell asleep in the hallway. Inu-yasha stood and grabbed Kagome's hand, "C'mon Kagome, we're going to bed," Inu-yasha tried to sound sleepy but already he was wide awake and apparently, so was Kagome because she pretty much jerked Inu-yasha's hand away and walked towards her room, "My room is this way silly!" She said with a smile.

Inu-yasha blushed, "Oh, right! C'mon then Miroku." He walked towards his and Miroku's room and beckoned to him once more, "Let's go!" Miroku shook his head lightly, "I'll be just a second, I'm gonna talk to Sango real quick!" Inu-yasha nodded, "Okay, just knock when you wanna come in, if I don't answer, you my friend, are sleeping in the hallway tonight!" Miroku looked at Inu-yasha who smiled slyly and slid the key into the door and walked in. Kagome who giggled slightly at Inu-yasha's smart-aleck gesture did the same but on the way in, threw Sango the key, "So you aren't stuck in the hallway!" She giggled and shut the door.

Miroku turned to Sango, who smiled and came close to him, "What did you want to talk to me about?" Miroku threw his arms around her and kissed her passionately until Sango pushed away to get a breath of air. She stared at him in disbelief, then grinned. "Good night Houshi," Sango called out as she went into her room, blowing him a kiss teasingly. Miroku sighed, "Why couldn't I have fallen for a girl a little less irresistible?" He laughed to himself and walked to his door and found it was left open slightly so Miroku wouldn't have to knock. Miroku smiled as he walked into the doorway and looked at Inu-yasha, passed out on the bed, that was supposed to be Miroku's, snoring softly.  "So 'Inu-chan' you do have a heart after all…" Miroku smiled, took off his shirt, and flopped onto his bed to immediately fall asleep.

Kagome fell into her bed with her bra and underwear on and hugged her pillow, sighing contently. Sango raised and eyebrow slightly, wondering what was going on in Kagome's head, "So you love him?" Kagome looked at Sango, the question had caught her off guard and she blushed "Huh?" Sango grinned "Uh, no…" Kagome said quietly. "Oh come on, you don't have to hide it from me." Sango encouraged Kagome with a smile. Kagome groaned. "Okay how about I love him a little for now? But then I might be a little too young to know what love really feels like!" Sango smiled, "Good, I don't want you to get hurt or anything! At least you know that it sometimes hurts to love…you do know that don't you!" "Well yeah Sango-san!" She patted the bed next to her, "C'mon Sango, we all need sleep!" Sango smiled and yawned so deeply it seemed her mouth took up her whole head, "Yeah, you're right…" and fell into her bed with a poof. Kagome turned off the light and the black of night flooded the room, "Good-night Sango…" Kagome practically sighed to Sango as she fell asleep as soon as her head plopped against the pillow.

"Good night, Kagome…" Her voice faltered as she yawned once more and fell asleep.

Inu-yasha woke to the sound of a telephone. He fumbled around for it and then realized he was on the floor. Swearing at his 'stupid sleep habits', Inu-yasha finally picked the phone up angrily. "Hullo?" He said drowsily, looking over at the other bed to find Miroku. He had watched Inu-yasha's morning episode and was snickering to himself as he got up and went to the bathroom. "Hi, is Inu-yasha available?" said a girl's voice, sounding sort of jittery. "Yeah." Inu-yasha said sleepily. "… oh, hehe hi Inu-chan! This is Yuri, just wanted to tell you that the tournament has been rescheduled to the 16th. Soo since it's the 10th, you'll have 6 days to practice and get ready. That is if you decide you want to enter!"

Inu-yasha sighed, thankful for the delay. He wasn't sure he'd be ready by tomorrow. "Okay, thanks. I still haven't decided about it yet, so uh call me back at noon." Inu-yasha said, nodding in agreement with himself. "Oh, okay! And if you do enter, you'll need a sword. See ya!" Yuri hung up without waiting for a reply, a reply that she wouldn't have gotten anyways. Inu-yasha sat there, mouth open slightly. How would he get his sword way back in Tokyo? He put the phone down and lay back on the bed, trying to think. 'How? Who... That's it! I'll have my neighbor mail it to me!' Inu-yasha sat up in triumph and punched the air, then saw Miroku watching him again. "What??!! Stop staring at me!!" He yelled, annoyed that Miroku caught him 2 times in a row, and threw the remote control to the TV at him.

Miroku stepped aside just in time and watched the remote hit the wall with a bang. He grinned and shook his head. "What was so exciting that you just had to punch the air?" Miroku teased and dodged another object, this time a shoe. "You're gonna run out of things to throw at me." Miroku commented. Inu-yasha growled, picked up the phone, and threw it at Miroku. The problem with this was that the phone wasn't cordless. Inu-yasha threw it so hard that the receiver slid off the table and landed on the floor, along with the phone. Neither of them coming close to Miroku. Miroku watched the whole thing in silence, raising his eyebrows at Inu-yasha after a moment.

"…I got an idea." Inu-yasha finally grumbled. "I have to have a sword to enter the tournament, and mine is at my house… so I'm gonna have the annoying kid next door get it and mail it for me." Inu-yasha concluded and picked up the phone. "What's the annoying kid's name?" Miroku asked suspiciously. "Shippo, why?" Inu-yasha started to dial the number. "I had a feeling he was the annoying kid… I know him." Miroku said and went to pick up the broken remote. After 3 rings, a childish voice came from the other line. "Hello?" "Hey Shippo, I need you to do somtin for me-" Inu-yasha was cut off from Shippo talking again. "Hi Inu-yasha! Where did you go? I snuck into your house 3 times already and you weren't there!" Shippo said excitedly. Inu-yasha gritted his teeth in anger, but mostly pure annoyance. "Why the hell did you sneak into my house again?! I told you not to do it anymore you freak!!" yelled Inu-yasha. Miroku grinned at his outburst and continued to watched Inu-yasha talk to Shippo.

"Okay, okay, I won't do it anymore. I promise." Shippo said, pouting. Of course he WOULD do it again, but Inu-yasha didn't have to know about it. Shippo only slipped into Inu-yasha's house for fun, and occasionally took something Inu-yasha would notice within a day. "Good, now, I want you to get into my house and find my sword." Inu-yasha had said the exact opposite of what he had just talked about. "But you said not to sneak into your house anymore. I promised." Shippo said matter-of-factly. "Grr, well you have my permission to go into my house! Now go find my sword!" Inu-yasha said, trying to keep his anger at a low level. "Okay! What do I do after a get your sword?" Shippo asked, happy Inu-yasha gave him permission. He had never said 'for today', and Shippo had been recording this call since he knew it was Inu-yasha.

"Mail the sword to

3-23 Chuo-Cho, Kuwana, Mie Prefecture"

Replied Inu-yasha. "Okay, now what do I get for this mission?" Shippo grinned, it would have to be something good. "Well I'll tell you what you get if you DON'T do this. You get beaten up and hung off your roof by your boxers. You'd like to have that happen again wouldn't you?" Inu-yasha said smugly. "Hmm, that's a hard bargain, but I'm afraid it just won't do." Shippo said, shaking his head. "Besides, your not here to reinforce it. How about you take me to the Shibuya Festival?" Shippo's dad couldn't take him this year because of work matters, and he couldn't find anyone else who could or would take him. "Fine! As long as I don't have to go WITH you…" He quietly added. "But I'll do what I said if the sword doesn't come within two or three days!" Inu-yasha said, making sure Shippo would do it instead of saying 'It must have gotten lost in the mail.' "Oh don't worry, I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to break into your house and go through your stuff. You can count on me!" And with that Shippo hung up.

Shippo ran downstairs and out the back door. He ran low and quickly to the back of Inu-yasha's house and climbed up onto the balcony. Then slid open the window that had a broken lock. Shippo had broken the lock when Inu-yasha had forgotten to lock his door. "Now where would I be if I was Inu-yasha's sword?" Shippo asked himself, and started to rummage through places he hadn't already looked through on previous visits.

Inu-yasha sighed as put on a new change of clothes. "I hope Shippo doesn't take anything again…" He said to himself with false hope. Of course Shippo would take something, that's what he does for a living, bug people. Inu-yasha thought again. "He takes things?" Miroku asked raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, just until I notice and yell at him, then he gives it back. I don't know how he gets into my house though, then again I don't really care much, he'd just find another way." Inu-yasha said frowning. "Hm, sounds just like a little brother and a big brother going at it. Are you two related?" Miroku asked, grinning. "No, and I'm glad." Inu-yasha ended the conversation and walked out the door.
