Chapter 14: Hours at a Time

Somewhere Out There…

Hiei, Sango…

Sango sighed, sliding one of her arms under the pillow her head was resting on, pulling the wrinkled covers up with her other hand and smoothing it out gently.

But it wasn't as serene as you thought…

'DAMN THAT FIRE DEMON! Out of all people, I have to get stuck with this bastard in a BEDROOM! A BEDROOM!' Sango thought angrily. You could literally feel the hostility rolling off her like waves.

"Hn. Woman, would you shut up?"

"STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!"

"You're the one who's thinking too loud" Hiei replied back somewhat calmly.

Sango growled, "I don't think too loud!"

Hiei just snorted and turned away, facing the wall.

The demon exterminator rolled her eyes and gave out a heavy sigh, burying her nearly exposed body in a swimsuit deeper into the bed.

If they were staying in here for more than a day, all hell would break loose…


Somewhere Out There…

Kuwabara, Yukina, Inuyasha…

After a couple minutes of complete silence, with the continuous, eerie sound of hollow water droplets hitting the ground, somebody spoke.

"…Ano…why do you think we're here?" Yukina's voice slightly cracked.

Inuyasha snorted and crossed his arms stubbornly, "How should I know?"

"But you were the one who started all of this!" Kuwabara retorted.

The half demon growled and turned away from the other two.

Yukina sighed and hugged her body to her knees on the floor. It seemed to feel like some kind of damp carpeting.

Inuyasha turned around to take a glance at the other two people. Seeing Yukina shaking, he gave out an irritated sigh and pulled off his top layer of his haori.

Kuwabara looked at him questioningly.

Standing up, the dog demon walked silently over to the ice apparition and dropped the red cloth over her body, "Don't get sick" he merely stated and then retreated back to his spot on the other side of the room.

Yukina let out a tiny 'thank you' as she carefully wrapped the shirt around her shoulders, shuffling back into her curled up form after she had succeeded in her task.


Somewhere Out There…

Keiko, Yusuke…

"Someone's on the other side of this wall" Yusuke stated plainly.

"Excuse me?" Keiko stared at the boy incredulously.

"It sounds like Kagome…" He trailed off, seemingly oblivious to her chatter.

Randomly, Yusuke started banging on the wall, shouting things out like, 'Kagome, answer me!' or, 'Don't you dare ignore me!'

"Yusuke…I don't think she can hear you…"

He sighed in defeat, slumping back down onto the couch.

Keiko sat up, yawning. Covering some of the more exposed areas of her skin with her arms, she started to slowly daze off.

Yusuke nearly jumped when a weight lowered itself slowly onto his shoulder. With a jolt, he whipped his head around to find Keiko fast asleep…

A little freaked out, Yusuke didn't know what to do except just sit there and not make her fall…

She slowly started sliding off his shoulder.

Ok…never mind that thought…

What to do now? There Keiko was, lying down on his lap, not on purpose, of course… And sleeping…

Yusuke sighed and dropped his head onto the backing of the sofa, closing his eyes.

Why not go to sleep too? Who knows how long they were going to be here. Which lead to the question, are the others alright?


Somewhere Out There…

Kagome, Kurama…

Chewing absently on the apple, Kagome looked around the 'kitchen', but soon got bored and turned her gaze towards the man sleeping peacefully on the floor.

'He looks so cute and serene like that…' Kagome thought idly, 'WAIT! WHAT DID I JUST SAY?'

The argument with herself was quickly interrupted when a groan was heard below her. Kagome finished the apple and chucked the core into the garbage can, chomping down on the last remaining bits of apple inside her mouth.

Slowly, Kurama started to wake up, sitting up on the floor and rubbing his eyes wearily, "Kagome?" he questioned as his vision started to adjust to the lighting.

"Kurama! You're okay!" Kagome exclaimed, bending down over his form.

"I guess I am, do you know where we are?"

"A kitchen, I think…I really don't know why we're here though…"

He blinked a couple times, and then stood up.

"How long do you think we'll be here?" Kagome asked.

The real hidden question was, why the hell wasn't anyone worried anyways?


Somewhere Out There…

Botan, Miroku…

Miroku stirred, in the process of waking up.

Sitting up, he stifled a yawn and examined his surroundings.

What the hell was he sitting on? It looked like a green, fabric-covered table with 6 holes in it. There were two slim, wooden sticks with plastic ends sitting on top of it and various coloured pool balls. ((Of course, he didn't know they were pool balls))

Furrowing his brows, he swung his feet off the peculiar table and stood up. Miroku's back cracked as he begun to realize that his backed ached badly from lying down on such a hard surface.

'Botan!' He thought wildly as he spotted her sleeping peacefully on a large, 'padded chair' nearby. ((Aka, the couch…))

She was sleeping on her stomach…a perverted-like grin slowly spread onto Miroku's face and lecherous thoughts started to devour his mind.

In a swimsuit… His thoughts added on encouragingly.

Miroku twitched.

In a blink of an eye, Miroku was groping Botan.

Botan stirred and shifted, eyes snapping open, "HENTAI!"

"Botan dear, I was brushing off a leaf you sat on!"

"I wasn't sitting!" Botan twitched angrily, punching him in the ribs for good measures.

"But it was there anyways!" Miroku pleaded innocently. Innocent…yeah right…

"What day is it?" Miroku blurted out, desperately trying to change the subject before too many thoughts of violence entered the ferry girl's head.

Her façade softened a bit, "Eh…I think it's December 10th! Oh…no! I have Christmas shopping to do!" Botan nearly shouted out in realization.

Kagome had taught Miroku the days and months she went by in the modern era, along with Sango, Shippo, and everyone else. Inuyasha didn't exactly pay attention thought; therefore, he didn't know one bit of it except for the fact that it had something to do with seasons and all that crap.

"Christmas?" Miroku asked, "What day was that again?"

"The 25th…" Botan trailed off absently, now thinking of gifts to buy.

Miroku looked a bit thoughtful too. Perhaps…he could try to find gifts in the Feudal Era too…

Hm…let's start off…

He could ask Kagome to buy Botan and Sango a REALLY short skirt for starters…


Lol! Anyways, I hope you guys aren't angry with me for not updating for so long! I went through a 7-day writer's block phase until I finally found my lost planning page for this story…

Sayonara,
