Chapter Nine:Group Thoughts and Setting Out

I got another new reviewer. Welcome to the fold, '.'.'.Jesslca'.'.'.. Did I say that right? Whatever. Anyway, thanks to her, I now have, um, this many (holds up five fingers) reviewers. That, and one person who put me on the favorite list, but did not review, and one vice-versa. Thank you, as well, Basilio. I read your profile, and wholeheartedly agree with the following statement: "I hate it when people have spelling and grammar errors in their work. Proofread your stories before you post them! If you are trying to be a writer, then start acting like one." Amen, brudder, amen. I also read the first chapter of your fic. I'd like to see more. Thanks again, new club members. And as always, enjoy.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING!

It was sunrise in feudal Japan. At this point, the members of Inuyasha crew were, of course, asleep. They had had extremely tiring nights, and needed their sleep. But, mainly because they had gotten to sleep at like, 3:00. They were afraid, they were very afraid. Especially Sango. Poor woman. Miroku slept like a perverted baby,with perverted dreams. What did you expect? They woke up at about 8, quarter after, maybe. Sango's eyes darted back and forth, she was traumatized. Truly, truly traumatized. she'll probably be like that for about, I dunno, 2 or 3 chapters. Nobody really noticed. They all had varying thoughts. All of which I shall list now.

Kagome's thoughts: 'He loves me back? I always thought this was … one-sided. I mean, every time we started to get somewhere, he'd run off with Kikyo. He probably only switched to me because Naraku killed her. 'Oh, shut up.' she told herself in her mind. 'Why would you think that? You've seen the proof yourself. Look at how happy they are! Does he look like he's even thinking about Kikyo? No! Why are you looking for a way out? He loves you! You should be happy!' 'I guess you're right. ...Yeah. Inuyasha loves me! God, it feels good to say that!' 'It'll probably feel better if you're talking to someone.' 'Oh, who asked you? Just let me be happy.' 'You got it boss!' Kagome stopped having a two-sided conversation with herself to drift off into a little daydream. She kept a serious face, though, so that everyone else would think she's trying to think of what to do next. Like me.

Inuyasha's thoughts: 'This all so friggin' confusing. What happened! One day Kagome and I are just barely tolerating each other, the next, we found out we end up mates! Why can't everything just be normal?' 'Oh, shut up. You know you're happy about this. You know this would have happened eventually. And don't try to deny it! You can't lie to yourself.' 'WHAT!' 'You heard me. You know you love her. You need more proof, just look at her neck.' Yeah, but- she- I- just shut up!' 'Great comeback, genius. Look at those two! They're sure acting like mates. They've probably got a pup by now, too.' 'Aah! Stop putting pictures in my head!' 'Oh, please. You like that, too.' 'You're worse than the monk! Get outta my head, you stupid voice! Get outta my head!' You, got it, boss!' On that note, Inuyasha's other voice left, leaving behind a confused, irate hanyou to cope with this new information. That, and a wonderful mental picture he couldn't get out of his head. He eventually admitted it, but it took him the longest.

Miroku's thoughts: 'If Sango loves me so much- as I always knew she did- then why has my poor head abused so much torment? I need to learn to bite my tongue. …No, that would hurt, too. Alas, I suppose I'll have to deal. Not like it's not worth it in the end. This is the best thing that ever happened to me! As soon as we get back to our on time-universe,' (CENSORSHIP!) 'Even if we don't get back, it can still happen. I mean, they've got (censorship) and (censorship) here, too. All I have to do is (CEEEEEEENSOOOOOOOOOOR) for a little while and Ill be (censorship) Sangoin no time.' That was fun. Use your imaginations if you're so curious.
Sango's thoughts consisted of fearful murmuring and mumbling in which one could make out the words, "Miroku," "married," and "waffles." As I said, she might not be able to speak again for a few chapters.

Eventually, everybody stopped fantasizing enough to figure out their next move. Well, someone did, I think it was Shippo, I was sorta drifting in and out during this scene. Anyway, they decided to see Kaede, because if anyone could figure all this out, it'd be everyone's favorite 60-some-year-old cyclops. So, they set out, not one of them saying a word. However it seemed Inuyasha and Kagome were standing noticeably closer than usual. Sango, however was hanging in the back, leaning on her other for support. "This probably isn't the best time to tell you this, butI thinkit's best you get a fair warning." said Sango2, to the near-crazy woman leaning on her shoulder. "Well, back at the house the six of us share," Sango made frightened noises, "we've got something you may or may not enjoy. Erm, we've got twins." "THUMP!" exclaimed the ground, as the unconscious Sango hit it. "I knew that would happen." said Sango2. "Kirara, can you help me out?' Both ran over to help their master. "Um, I only need one." One left, and the other transformed, and Sango2 put Sango on her back. "Can we keep going now?" asked Inuyasha. He had overheard the "twin" thing, and told Kagome, who had replied, "Oh, how nice." And so, their trip was rather uneventful from then on. Mainly because I just took the SAT's and I am extremely tired.

Okay, chapter nine. That was it. At the moment, I'm just making things up as I go along. Yup, the careful planning I had been showing before is long gone. You're probably wondering why Kagome2 and Inuyasha2 don't have any kids, it's because I said they got together after ten months, and fetuses stay in the mother's womb for about nine moths. So, I guess Inuyasha2 and Kagome2 got together a little after the twins were born. If I make an epilogue, their going to have a pair of sons and a daughter. Miroku2 and Sango have twin girls, but they'll end up with whole lot more, (because of Miroku's eagerness, of course), but at the moment, it's just the two. Also, I'm no good withthinking up (or remembering)names, and the fact that their supposed to Japanese doesn't help. So, um, if somebody could send me ideas, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Read on, brudders andsissers!

Chapter Nine Random Fact: A menorah actually has 7 candle holders, one for each day of the week. The one with 9, is the "hanukiah," and is used only on Hannukah. It's a common misconception. Don't worry about it.
