Hallo! Yay! My Yahoo! Music is working. /punches air/ Sorry, but it's been out for months. T.T Chapter three is up! Yay! Only...two or three more now. Probably the shortest story of this series there is going to be, if my friends keep adding ideas.
Disclaimer: Copyrighted to...I don't remember the names. But not me!
Chapter Three
"MEAGAN! Meagan where are you!"
The girls groan, reaching above their heads as if searching for their alarm clocks. Which is actually what they are doing. But sadly, their alarm clocks are not there to reassure them that it is too early in the morning for this yelling so they can go and beat the boys up. That is, beat Yusuke up. He's the only one yelling. And as they scan the room, they see why. Meagan is nowhere to be seen. The spot on the floor that she had been occupying last night is now empty and bare. The Destinies stare at it in confusion.
And when they try to sit up to see if she is possibly somewhere else in the room, pairs of arms circled around their waists prevent them from doing this. But it's not the arms of the usual boys that have chained the Destinies. No, they are the arms of Inuyasha, Kouga, and Miroku. And standing in the doorway are Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei. All three look furious. Uh-oh...Miroku stares happily up at Nissi, wishing her good morning.
"Um...hi..."
Olivia looks at Kouga, not sure if she is actually seeing him or if this is just an illusion or a trick pulled by her friends. She gives a weak smile and nod. This is not going to be good... Vanessa, on the other hand, seems to be very happy that Inuyasha chose to sleep next to her during the night. She pulls his ears--not too hard--and pats his head.
"Good morning, Inuyasha!"
Olivia and Nissi detach themselves from Kouga and Miroku, quickly sliding out of the door before their boyfriends can question their actions. Outside, Yusuke is checking everywhere--up every tree, under every rock--for Meagan. She is nowhere. It's like she just...vanished. Sango comes out from Kaede's main room, Kilala in her hands. Nissi scratches her behind the ear, asking if she's seen Meagan anywhere.
"Sadly, no. Weird...Sesshomaru is missing too."
"S-sesshomaru?" Nissi casts a worried glance to Olivia; they both glance at Yusuke.
"Yes. I thought he would be staying for more than a night, but..."
"Uh...VANESSA!"
Nissi and Olivia rush back to Vanessa where she is arguing with Inuyasha. Something about demon-slaying... Anyways, they drag her away and outside to the pond where Meagan was hiding from Nissi yesterday. Then they tell her their theory. Vanessa stares blankly at them, then whacks them on the head.
"You dragged me away from my debate for this?"
"Hello," Olivia whacks her back. "We could be returned to our usual world any time now, and Meagan won't be here."
"How do you know it won't pick her up wherever she is?" Vanessa replies.
"How do you know it will?" Nissi challenges, looking at her friend.
o.0 "Uh...let's go find her!"
With Meagan
"W-wha--"
The face of a small girl peers into Meagan's, causing her to shriek and instinctively push her away. The little girl lands on her butt with an "oomph" before scrambling back up and hiding behind her master. Sesshomaru watches, interested, as Meagan pulls herself up onto two shaking legs and rushes over to him, demanding that she be brought back to her friends. Sesshomaru is a bit surprised--she knows what is going on. On her face is a determined look. One that won't be swayed easily. Or so he thought.
"Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken tugs his robe. "Who is the girl."
"HAH! Jaken, catch!"
Forming in her hand one of the biggest wind balls ever, Meagan rushes forward and tosses it directly at Jaken, who catches it in surprise before it blows him off into the distance. Even as far away as he is blown, Meagan still hears the satisfactory CRUNCH as he impacts with the ground. Or the water--whichever one will do, as long as he is in considerable pain for a while. Rin giggles, running back out to meet Meagan.
"Are you a friend of Master Sesshomaru's?" she asks, her eyes wandering up to meet Meagan's.
"NO!"
"Eep!"
Giggling some more, Rin runs back to Sesshomaru. /a.n.--Am I spelling his name wrong? Oh well.../ Sesshomaru silences her with a kind look, much to Meagan's surprise. Then Sesshomaru tells her to run off and play while he talks to Meagan. She does so, willingly. The two can here her happy shrieks in the backround.
"Take. Me. Back."
It is hard for Meagan to sound powerful when she has to stare up into the air to see Sesshomaru's face. It is smirking, causing Meagan's anger to flare even more.
"When Yusuke finds me you're going to be in big trouble."
"I doubt that will happen."
"YOU obviously do not understand," she groans. "I have to be with my friends, or I could be stuck here forever."
"What's wrong with that."
Sesshomaru speaks in that voice. The voice that is reserved for children around the age of five or six; children who think they know more than they really do. The voice for proving someone wrong in a nice tone when you really want to shove it in their face. Meagan does not like this voice. Smiling sweetly up at Sesshomaru, she kicks him in the shin and runs off in the opposite direction as fast as her training will allow. Faster and faster and faster, until she runs into someone and they go flying into the water in front of them. Dark chocolate eyes stare at her: Yusuke.
Never more happy to see her boyfriend, Meagan grabs him, forgetting that they are currently ten feet under water. His eyes widen as he tries to break free from her terrifying grasp. It is only when Nissi dives in and punches Meagan in the stomach that she lets go. By that time, poor Yusuke is practically unconscious. Nissi drags him up, Meagan following right after him. Olivia grabs Yusuke's shirt as he hits the surface gasping for air, pulling both him and Nissi up. Then she helps Meagan.
"Yay!" Olivia whacks Meagan's back. "I didn't have to get wet!"
PLUNK. Nissi shoves her from behind into the water, much to Olivia's dismay. She comes back up like Yusuke: gasping for air. She glares at Nissi who in turn lays on her back, laughing to death. Nearly, at least. As Olivia shakes herself dry, a thought comes to mind. I wonder... But here, in the world of Inuyasha, is not the best place to voice her idea, she concludes. So she will have to wait until they are back at the mansion. If that day ever comes at all.
"Oh my gosh...we might be stuck here forever," she murmurs.
"Forever," Vanessa copies, scaring her friend. "Forever. Forever."
"Stop that."
"Aw come on. It wouldn't be that bad."
"Yes," Olivia nods. "Yes it would. I can only take so much Inuyasha."
"Come on," Meagan drags Yusuke up. "Let's go before Sesshomaru finds us."
"LET HIM!" Yusuke shouts. "I'm gonna beat his ass up."
"No you're not!" the Destinies shout, all four grabbing him by one ear and dragging him back to Kaede's like a dog.
There, they find Miroku and Kurama fighting with each other and Kouga and Hiei fighting. And in a way, Inuyasha and Kuwabara are arguing. It's more like Inuyasha is beating Kuwabara into the ground, but we'll call it arguing. "Oh no." Kagome and Sango are looking from one fight to the other while Kaede sits next to them watching Shippo draw pretty pictures with the crayons given to him by Kagome. The only peaceful person in an otherwise chaotic situation.
"Um...what's going on?" Nissi asks Kagome, who rolls her eyes.
"Right after you guys left they just...started arguing. And Inuyasha is pounding that one into the ground."
"Aren't you going to stop him?" Sango questions Vanessa.
"No."
"Well I'm stopping mine," Nissi and Olivia declare, moving off.
Nissi gets both Miroku and Kurama to stop their little battle long enough for her to get in a few words, but Olivia has a more...stubborn boyfriend. And Kouga isn't exactly the most "let's be quiet and talk it out" person either. So in the end, Olivia must stop the battle by force.
"SIT!"
She is surprised to hear two bodies hitting the ground at the same time instead of one; it seems that Kagome had ordered Inuyasha to sit at the same time as Olivia. I don't want to deal with this now but... "Ne, Hiei." He picks himself up.
"WHAT?" he shouts, glaring at Olivia.
"Don't you talk to me like that," she shouts back.
"I'll talk to you any damn way I want to!"
Olivia shrieks as a fist comes crashing between her and Hiei; he dodges. Kouga glares at him, "Don't speak to her like that."
"Mind your own damn business, wolf-boy!"
"I WON'T allow you to speak to her like that!"
Another punch; another dodge. Olivia sighs and looks over towards Nissi and her conflict. It seems to be coming to an end. Eyes drifting over towards Inuyasha and Vanessa, she sees that Vanessa has at least gotten Inuyasha to apologize for beating the crap out of Kuwabara. Yusuke and Meagan are on the ground drawing pictures with Shippo, Kaede looking over their shoulders. Kagome is setting out things for lunch.
"Forget it..." Olivia mumbles. "I'll just let them duke it out."
She goes off to help Kagome with lunch.
o0oo0oo0o
"Ah, that was a good lunch..."
Nissi leans against Kurama's shoulder while Miroku collects her plate for her. She smiles in thanks. Then, a picture comes to mind. A picture that they had seen somewhere on the Internet. /a.n.--Perhaps deviantART...I can't remember who found it./ Instantly she bursts into laughter; laughter that seems--to everyone else--crazy. Meagan shakes her friends shoulder, asking what's wrong. As Nissi looks up, Meagan sees her face is bright red from all the laughter and she is taking in big, gasping breaths.
"Remember...the...picture?"
"Huh?"
Nissi poses the wind tunnel being held and the mischievious look on Miroku's face. o.0 Soon, Meagan is bursting out laughing too. Vanessa glimpses at Olivia, who is shakes in silent laughter for a moment before letting it all burst out. Vanessa starts up too, and the four stare from Miroku to Sango and back to Miroku, who can only look at the Destinies in wonder. Everyone stares at them while tears are beginning to stream down the girl's faces. Even Hiei and Kouga pause from sending death glares to each other to watch.
"I can't believe he hasn't thought of that," Meagan chokes.
Yusuke whacks her on the back.
"I...I know..." the other three howl, pounding their fists on the hard ground.
"Um," Shippo looks up from his pictures. "What's going on, Kagome?"
(1) "Inside joke," she replies, picking up one of his pictures. "Oh, how cute! You drew all of them!"
"Huh?"
The Destinies cease laughing and scramble over to Shippo to see what Kagome is talking about. And there they see them: a picture of the Destinies and the boys. Their hearts melt at the cuteness of it. "Aww...Shippo, do you think you could draw another one of these?"
"Sure..."
"YAY!"
They hug him, practically squishing him to death. He squeaks, clawing at their clothes until they finally decide to let go of him and give him the wonderful luxury that is air. They seem to be depriving a lot of people their freedom to breathe lately... Suddenly hyper the four grab hands and jump around the little area they are currently residing in. Kuwabara, Yusuke, Hiei, and Kurama glance uneasily at each other. How much more of this torture can the poor boys take?
And...cue the end of the chapter! Two chapters left, my readers! Aah, I love writing this story. It's so...entertaining. Heh. That's an understatement. Gaah! Madonna! The horror! Switch songs, switch songs/going crazy/ "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is an interesting song but it's sung by Madonna and I had to sing it in 7th grade so NO MORE! Aah, My Chemical Romance...much better.
(1) It was a picture of Miroku sucking Sango's clothes off with his wind tunnel.
