Chapter 16: A Little Clean up and Satsuki's Hut Desecrated

Last time:

Kagome planned a surprise midnight diner with a little help from the room service lady. Then Inu-yasha snuck over to Kagome's bed and gave her a peck on her forehead, but Kagome noticed lips pressing on her forehead and awoke to find Inu-yasha trying to sneak back without her noticing so once Inu-yasha turned off his lamp Kagome slid in beside him making him jump and quickly turn the lights back on only to find the sleeping teenager beside him in BED with Him. Wonder what happens next.

"Shippo, Shippo!" Satsuki called, waking him up from his wonderful dream.

"Five more minutes…daddy." Shippo mumbled, fading away in his sleep.

"Shippo!" Satsuki yelled, loudly.

"Wha…!" Shippo yelled in alarm, looking around for danger.

"It's okay, I had to yell to wake you up." Satsuki said.

"Huh? Oh, well you didn't have to sound like you were in danger. yawn" He yawned.

"Sorry." She apologised.

"So what are we going to do today?" Shippo asked.

"I guess we'll go back to the hideout. I always check on it every morning." She replied.

"K." He nodded.

"Hmm…" Sango opened her eyes. Kilala was in front of her view, with her head tilted.

"Oh, good morning Kilala." Sango said petting her head.

There was a snore coming from her right side. "Huh?" She found Miroku sleeping on her right shoulder.

She blushed and pushed his head on the other side facing the wall. She got up and walked outside followed by Kilala. Kaede was catching a pail of water from the creak.

"Good morning, Sango." Kaede greeted.

"Good morning." She smiled. "I'm heading for a walk."

"Be careful." Kaede warned.

"Mmm…" she nodded, and walked away. Kilala quickly hopped on her shoulder.

click twick Inu-yasha's keen ears twitched at the sound of clicking. He covered his head with his pillow trying to block the noise.

Kagome was sitting at the computer trying not to keep noise.

There was no use he was already awake. So he finally gave in and got up. "Yawn." He yawned, stretching.

click, click "Rrr…" He growled. He followed the sound, only to find Kagome on the other side of the room.

"So this is where that distracting sound is coming from." Inu-yasha said.

"Oh, Inu-yasha you scared me." Kagome jumped. "Well did you sleep well last night?" Kagome asked.

"Hmm? Oh ya." Inu-yasha blushed remembering what happened last night. Inu-yasha wanted to ask her a question about last night, but was cut off by Kagome.

"Inu-yasha, um…did you kiss me last night?" Kagome blushed.

"Mmm…" Inu-yasha couldn't lie over this one. "Uh…I…uh g-guess so." Inu-yasha stuttered.

Kagome's cheeks turned rosy. "I wonder why. Did he just do that, because I look like Kikyo, well duh of course I'm only a jewel detector." Kagome thought.

"So what is this machine do?" Inu-yasha questioned, cutting off her daze.

"Oh, this is a computer. It gathers up information you want to know." Kagome answered.

"Hmm…that makes sense, but you people today only use machines to do everything for you." Inu-yasha answered.

"Hm…It makes life easier." Kagome smiled.

"I guess you're right."

"You want to learn how to use it?" She asked.

"I guess I can check out what this thing does." He responded.

"Okay let me show you. You can move this device, which is called a mouse. If you wish to use the internet click on the letter "e." She explained.

"Hmm…okay, even though I don't know what the internet is." He followed, moving the mouse and clicking on the "e." He was rewarded with a web page, which popped up. "Ok, now what?" He asked.

"Click this." She pointed to the address bar.

"Now?" he asked.

"Type what you want to see." She said.

"Yeah, but what and how do I type now?"

"Sigh you know what type in "www.google. Ca"" She said.

"How?" He asked, loudly this time.

"Follow the letters I say." She answered, annoyed.

"Shoot."

"www."

"Ok."

"g-o-o-g-l-e. ca" Kagome spelled out. "Then click enter on the keyboard here." She added, pointing at the enter button.

He did as he was told. The google page opened. "Okay?"

"Good, now type in Shikon no tama, and then click images."

"? Okay…" As he did it.

Then saw tons of pictures of the Sacred Jewel.

"See? Isn't that pretty neat?" she asked.

"Ya." He nodded and clicked on a picture. "Huh? Kagome?"

"Yeah?" she answered.

"Why am I in this picture?" he asked concerned.

"What?" she replied shocked. "Let me see. You're right."

"Never mind I don't like this thing it's way to confusing."

"Okay, well anyway I need to go check in at the front again, alright." She said.

"K" he nodded.

Kagome got up and passed the phone to Inu-yasha. "Here, you can call for room service. I'm leaving, now."

"Great, but how do I use this?" He replied.

"Just click the brown button on the bottom: place the top part on your ear to here the person and put the button part to your mouth so you can speak." She clarified.

"Got it."

"Oh and one more thing you don't have to pay it's for free, ask for anything you want." She added.

"Mmm…okay."

After that she grabbed her purse and departed.

Inu-yasha did just that. "Whatever I want eh?" He smiled.

"I hope I can trust him." She thought, walking down the hallway.

A man waited until she passed and went down the opposite direction. He was about to tap on their door, until he heard Inu-yasha calling the service for food. "Hmm…I don't really find anything strange about this guy." The man said.

The service was arriving with the cart, but stopped at the door before his. The man quickly slid under the sheet that covered the bottom of the cart.

Knock, Knock Inu-yasha was in the bathroom washing up, until he was interrupted by the knock at the door. "Already?" he mumbled, spitting the rest of toothpaste from his mouth. "Coming!" he yelled. He wiped his mouth and sped his way to the door.

There were large trays of food coming in. He licked his lips. The service placed the plates on the table and left.

Inu-yasha opened the first tray it was bacon, with scrambled eggs on the side. He chomped down the food quickly licked his finger and opened the next one.

The man tried to keep as quiet as possible. He lifted the sheet to see Inu-yasha stuffing his face in the food.

"Huh? Why hasn't he taken off those dog-like ears he wore last night? That can't be his real ears can it? " He whispered.

Inu-yasha was famished. All the plates he used were littered everywhere. It was a complete mess. Inu-yasha relaxed on the couch and turned on the television. "Let's see what this box thing shows." He found a channel with a couple kissing. "Uh, too mushy. Eeeww." He changed the channel, next he saw girls at the shopping in the mall. "What hell is this?" he changed the channel again, and finally was satisfied with the next channel he saw two teenaged guys sword fighting for a woman.

Kagome stood at the door. "Should I even go inside?" she thought. Kagome turned the knob and walked in. She looked around the room, and spotted Inu-yasha watching television.

"Hey Kagome." He said.

"Inu-yasha! What in the world did you do in here?" Kagome roared. "I can't keep my eyes off of you for one second without you making a mess, you're not even home."

"Oh , shut up! I was gonna clean up, but you came back quickly." He argued.

"Oh so you would make a mess behind my back, well let's clean up now." She hollered, as she started pick up cups.

"Hmf" Inu-yasha grumbled, as he helped as well.

Kagome walked towards the cart to pick up a plate beside it.

The stood very still, but was breathing to hard.

"Huh?" Kagome paused, as she heard breathing coming from under the cart. She was about to lift the sheet.

"Kagome! What do I do with the dishes?" Inu-yasha asked from the other corner of the room.

"Put them is the sink." She answered. Kagome picked up the plate and looked at the bottom of the cart again and walked to the kitchen to help Inu-yasha with the dishes.

"Whew!" The man sighed with relief.

"Hmm…that was funny." Kagome mumbled.

"What's so funny?" Inu-yasha snapped.

"No not you." Kagome said.

"What then?" he asked, concerned.

"Nothing, forget it." Shaking her head.

The man slid from under the sheet and hid behind the couch. Kagome carrying the wet plates to put back on the cart and Inu-yasha followed her back in the living room.

"Ok, wash that table I'll get rid of these plates." Kagome ordered.

"Kay. You need help with those?" he asked.

"No, I'm fine." Kagome replied. "Oh and Inu-yasha use the spray on the table." She added.

"Fine." Said Inu-yasha, as he sprayed the table, then scrubbed.

Kagome placed the plates on the cart and tied her in a ponytail, and pushed the cart slowly out of the room so the service will pick it up. Kagome took out the vacuum from the closet. "What the hell is that weird machine?" he asked.

"This? It's a vacuum, if I were you I'd block my ears, your ears are sensitive." Kagome warned plugging up the wire.

"Huh? Why?" He asked.

Kagome ignored his question and turned on the vacuum. There was a loud noise coming from the machine.

"Ahh!" he shrieked in pain, covering his ears atop his head.

"gasp those are his ears! What creature is this? He's no human."

Inu-yasha adjusted to the noise, and continued washing the table. Inu-yasha also stared at a funny looking hose sucking up everything. "Hm. reminds me of Miroku's wind tunnel. I wonder what those guys are up to." Inu-yasha thought.

"Huh? What happened to my hideout? It has been destroyed." Satsuki said shocked.

"Satsuki are you sure you're the only one who knows about this place, like those kids that bothered you the last time I was here?" Shippo asked.

"Yes, I'm positive." She nodded.

Shippo examined the area. "Look a demon passed here, look at the markings on the ground there like a trail of something big and looks like a snake." Shippo discovered.

"You're right, but I haven't seen any demons recently after you killed that lizard demon." Satsuki agreed.

"This long trail is fresh, but stops here. It seems that the demon passed here earlier this morning." Shippo realized.

Satsuki did not listen. "Shippo, look I found a big clue." Satsuki pointed, at a large egg sack hanging from the tree. "What is that?" she asked, frightened.

"Looks like a cocoon." Shippo guessed.

"You think it could've been a caterpillar demon and is most likely to transform into a giant butterfly demon?"

Shippo nodded. "We should kill the cocoon before it hatches and destroys your village." Shippo said.

"Right, but how?" she asked.

"I'm thinking about it." He replied, thinking hard. "Got it, Satsuki I'll transform into a sword, but you have to swing it." He declared.

"Right."

pop she lifted the sword.

"You're kinda heavy." She struggled.

"Sorry, okay now swing the blade and cut the cocoon in half."

"Gotcha, but uh…as you can see it's not that easy." She said.

The ground started to quake.

"W-what's happening?" Satsuki shrieked, dropping Shippo. pop He transformed back.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Shippo replied.

The cocoon started to crack. They both turned around.

"Uh- oh. It's hatching." Shippo stated.

creak

"Come on we gotta get out of here!" Shippo yelled, grabbing Satsuki's hand and started running quickly.

The villagers looked at the forest shaking. "Oh no what's going on?" A villager shouted.

"Mmm…" Miroku yawned stretching. "Uh…my neck hurts." He exclaimed. Miroku found Kaede outside. "Good morning Lady Kaede." Miroku smiled.

"Ay." She replied.

"Where did Sango get to?" he asked.

"She left earlier for a walk." She answered.

He sat on the front step and sighed.

"Oh this is a wonderful morning. Don't you think Kilala?" She smiled.

"Mew." She agreed.

"Well I suppose we head back now." She said.

"Sango!" Someone called.

"Hmm? Oh Miroku, good morning sleep well?" she asked.

"Ya, but woke up with a twinge in my neck." He replied.

"I was just heading back to the village now." She said.

"Wait, do you hear that?" he asked.

"No nothing" she replied, confused.

"That's it, it's way too quiet." He nodded.

"You're right." She agreed. "Miroku, demon aura is approaching. I'm going back to get my Hiraikotsu." She added.

"I'll wait here."

"Okay, Kilala stay with Miroku." She ordered.

She nodded and transformed.

Sango ran quickly back to the hut.

"Sango, what's the matter?" she asked concerned.

"Something's coming and it's big." She answered and ran in and changed rapidly into her demon slayer armour, and took her Hiraikotsu and ran back to Miroku and the others.

"Be careful." Kaede cautioned.

"Don't worry we'll come back in one piece." She winked and continued on.

"Wow! Now that's what I call clean." Kagome smiled satisfied, looking around the clean room.

"Whew, finally. Now I'm tired." Inu-yasha yawned.

"Yeah, now we can take a rest before we pack up to leave." She mentioned, flopping on the couch beside him.

"This era is really strange it's hard to live here." Inu-yasha declared.

"Yeah, I suppose it's completely confusing, for demon from the feudal age." Kagome giggled.

"What? A demon from the feudal age? Impossible." The man thought. "This is great news, I think I've heard enough, I gotta get outta here." He whispered.

The man slid against the couch slowly and moved quickly, but silently on the wall so they can't spot him, and then slid against the wall towards the door?

twitchSniff "Kagome, there's someone in here." Inu-yasha revealed, turning to her.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked worried, standing up. "There was something strange here, remember earlier when I said. "That was funny?" Well, I heard breathing coming from under the cart." She stated.

"Shit, I have to keep quieter. I need to get this news back." He whispered, he continued.

Tap tap the man paused immediately feeling someone tapping on his shoulder. He turned his head slowly, only to find the hanyou staring at him.

"Hey, who are you and what do you want?" Inu-yasha asked. Kagome stood behind him.

"Oops wrong room hehe, I was just leaving." He lied, starting for the door.

"Wait a minute, sniff sniff you smell pretty familiar." Inu-yasha observed, holding his shoulder, as the struggled to break free. "I can't place my nose on it though."

"What do you mean Inu-yasha? Who does he remind you of?" she asked.

"Wait, it's coming to me, ha got it you have the same smell as that inspector from yesterday." Inu-yasha smiled, happy that he remembered.

"Hmm? He doesn't look like him." Kagome replied.

"Yo, the lady's right." He lied.

"No, I'm pretty sure you're him, I don't forget my scents." Inu-yasha said.

"Inu-yasha." Kagome whispered pulling him down. "You can't act the way you are here, people might think you're not normal, let's just let this guy go." Kagome whispered into his ear.

"Fine." Inu-yasha grumbled, releasing him.

"Thank you, young lady." The man winked, and then closed the door behind him.

"Kagome, I'm sure there's something suspicious of that guy, he has the same scent as that inspector." He argued.

"Whatever, let's get packing." She suggested.

"Hmm… she never listens to me." Inu-yasha grumbled.

"Huff, huff that was really a close one." The man huffed in relief and ran down the hall. "I have to get this great news to her." He smiled.
