LS:Hey. I'm so sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth, but blame band. I just got off, so, um, yeah.
Sess: She's also getting ready to balance her mainstream classes with Marching Band, ROTC, and Concert Choir.
Spit:Hey, can we introduce her new muse already?
LS:Hey, that's right! Everyone, meet Kharl the Alchemist, from the popular anime Dragon Knights. He creates demons, writes books, and helps me out with my homework and music for band.
Kharl:It is an honor to be lady Amanda's muse and to be welcomed into her story. By the way, my lady, you have quite a bit of work to do.
Sess:watches amazed as LS starts workingI still do not know how you do it.
Kharl:smiles mysteriously
Kagome watched the foot of her bed, or, well, the hotel bed, very closely. The red haired ghost, at the foot of her bed, watched her closely. They continued to stare down the other until Kagome blinked, and the ghost hovered an inch from her face. Kagome, in he next moment, had pressed herself against the wall, as far away from the ghost as she could. The ghost rolled her eyes, and tried to speak. No sound came out.
Giving Kagome a humorful look of exhasperation, she walked to her desk and grabbed a pen and the hotel paper, writing what she wanted to say. Kagome read it.
'Please help me find my killer'
Kagome looked at the ghost strangely, but understood. But she had to know a few more things before she called her partner back home.
"How did you know that I was an under-cover detective?"
'I'm a ghost. I know many things from the inner sanctum of your mind.'
"Okey, so, what did this killer look like?"
'Black hair. Black eyes. Black voice.'
"Okey, um, do you know his motive?"
'I was married.'
"Oh, I see. Do you have any names?"
'Naraku.'
"Okay, did he leave any proof at the crime scene or his workplace?"
'No.'
"Oh, GREEEEAAAT!!!!! Just wonderful. A murder with no proof. Well, I'll do what I can."
The ghost smiled, before leaving, just as the sun rose, leaving Kagome to figure out just how she was going to solve this mystery.
Inuyasha sat on the balcony of his room, saring out at the clear water of the ocean, slowly being stained with the light of the rising sun. He sighed, his ears twitching in the soft, warm, humid breeze. He closed his eyes, wondering when he would be able to go home, to Coronado, California. It was without a doubt that Sesshomaru was angry with him for leaving, and Rin was probably wondering where he was at as well.
The sliding door opened, revealing a half-dressed Miroku and a sleepy Shippo, yawning and squinting against the soft sunlight. Miroku smiled and leaned on the rail, facing away from the ocean, while Shippo sat in the other chair. They watched as his ears twitched back.
"You know, Kagome had another encounter with her transparent friend last night," said Miroku.
InuYasha's ears twitched his way.
"It asked for help,"Miroku continued," to find it's murderer."
"It's a SHE, Miroku,"Kagome said from the doorway.
"My apologies,"he said, bowing.
"Tell that to her when you see her," she said," Anyways, I called Kit back home. She's flying out as soon as she gets a flight. But that won't be until later, and we've got a while before Drill Unit Competition, so why do't we go or breakfast?"
"Sound's good," Shippo agreed, while sango, Kyomi, and Miroku nodded.
"Um, who's Kit? What's going on?" InuYasha said, confusedly.
"InuYasha, I'm an under-cover agent for a spirit justice corporation." Said Kagome, "Kit's my partner and Shippo's older sister."
InuYasha still looked confused.
"She's Wonderwoman from the Ghostbuster's Justice League." Said Shippo.
"Oh, okey." Said InuYasha, getting up and grabbin change of clothes,"Well, what are you waiting for? I heard breakfast."
"Group, on my command,"said Kagome loudly,"A-ten-SHUN!"
The group all snapped to attention.
"Forward, HUT!"
They all began to march forward.
"Criss-cross, HUT!"
Pausing for a split second, the First rank turned on a dime to the left, and marched through the second rank, as the third turned at a 45 degree angle and marched through the second and first, while the fourth turned completely around and marched through all three. They all ended up back together as a unit and continued to march forward.
"Columns, to the rear, HUT!"
Column by column, they all turned around and marched the opposite way.
"Group, HALT!"
The entire unit came to a halt as one.
"Present, ARMS!"
The entire unit saluted the judges.
The judges jotted down notes, smiling proudly.
"Order, HUT!"
The unit dropped the salute in unison.
"About HASE!"
The entire unit turned.
"Unit, DISMISSED!"
The entire unit marched out of the gym and sat back in their respective seats, watching the next unit perform.
When they all were done, the judges called out places, calling Coronado High School Performance Drill Team second best in the entire nation.
LS:Hey, yeah, I know, short and crappy chapter.
