Chapter 6: Kagome's Revenge
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.
A/N: There's nothing much to say, really. I guess that I should just say that I apologize for any grammar or spelling mistakes I make. Enjoy the chapter!
The sun was just about setting as the Northwest Airlines plane landed in Hawaii. Gratefully stretching up from her seat, Kagome, InuYasha, Sango and Kikyo followed the other passengers out of the plane and into the baggage claim area. After collecting their luggage, the four companions wearily dragged their feet through the immigration department and out into a limo that awaited them.
Finally Kikyo spoke. "Well, everyone, we're here at last," she announced, smiling weakly at her half-asleep peers.
"Yeah, I guess," Kagome yawned. She was no longer mad at Kikyo for not telling her about the trip to Hawaii. What was there to be angry about, now that she came to think about it? "But why did Mr. Taisho appoint you to be one of the monitors? Couldn't Miroku or Koga have done it?"
"Ah…he just didn't want you to feel uncomfortable, so he sent Kikyo along as well," Sango hurriedly said. "Phew, that was a close one," she added silently to Kikyo, who was sitting next to her. After that, everything was silent again.
Kagome didn't feel so tired after she'd stepped out of the taxi. 'Jack lack' was the high-school girl's first thought, and Kagome shivered. She hated not being able to sleep in the night time. Glancing over at the silent acrobat, Kagome quickly calculated that InuYasha was too exhausted to be feeling anything at the moment.
After saying 'see you later' to each other (the four had decided to have dinner together) Kagome and InuYasha reluctantly retired to their hotel room in the Sheraton Waikiki hotel. It was rather uncomfortable, as Kagome still remembered the incident in the plane and did not know what to say, and InuYasha, who wasn't himself, had nothing to say.
"I think I'll go to bed right now," InuYasha said, plopping himself onto the double bed…wait, double bed! But he'd said to have two smaller beds that were for sure! Kagome and he weren't even a couple yet!
"But you can't just go to bed now!" Kagome argued, suddenly full of energy. "We've already arranged for dinner with Kikyo and Sango!"
"Yeah, whatever, you can go, but I sure am hell not," InuYasha mumbled into the pillow.
"You sure as hell are coming, it's rude if you don't come," Kagome retorted. "Now, haul yourself off that bed and get going."
'Sheesh, you could be a lot nicer, like, by THAT much," InuYasha held his fingers a centimetre apart from each other. "But then again, it takes a lot of effort for you to do such a thing."
"Just go!" shoving the hanyou out the door, Kagome stormed on after InuYasha and slammed the door shut as a warning for everybody to stay out of her way.
Going through the corridor, however, InuYasha's rather woozy eyesight caught sight of a fat woman with pimples on her face. Thinking that the fat woman was a 'hot chick', the acrobat called out, "Hey, baby! Want to go out with me?"
"I'm married, I'll tell you that," the fat woman glared daggers at InuYasha and Kagome (who was pretending to be looking at a painting on the wall) before moving on. InuYasha was nearly clobbered half to death if Kagome hadn't been there to save the hanyou.
At the restaurant, Kagome apologized for being late and explaining the reason why, with Kikyo laughing sometimes and Sango hitting InuYasha in all the right places. By that time, the four had quite a few people staring at their strange actions.
"Caesar salad," a waiter holding a plate of Caesar salad hurriedly put it down on the table and walked away, not wanting to be seen with strange people.
After dinner, InuYasha was back to his old self again. Rather relieved and disgusted at the same time, Kagome turned her head away as the acrobat wiped his mouth and burped quietly, but loud enough for others in the vicinity to hear. Smacking InuYasha when the other customers had looked away, Kagome paid the bill and half-walked half-dragged the hanyou out the door with Kikyo and Sango following behind, both whistling innocently.
"Kagome, thanks for the dinner," Kikyo and Sango said in unison politely. InuYasha, on the other hand, snorted and muttered, "Thanks, wench." Deciding that that was the best she'd ever get out of the rude creature, Kagome rolled her eyes, arranged for a breakfast the next day, said goodnight to her friends and walked back to hers and InuYasha's hotel.
"I didn't think you'd be THAT polite," InuYasha snorted. "I didn't even think you'd get that far. It must've been hard for you."
"But unlike YOU, at least I try," Kagome retorted.
"Yeah, wench, whatever," InuYasha said, turning off the light. The duo both fell asleep far away from each other, Kagome dreaming sweet dreams about getting her revenge on InuYasha.
With Kikyo and Sango
"…I think I love him," Kikyo mumbled in her sleep for the third time that night.
Sango furrowed her eyebrow after hearing this. Ever since Kikyo had begun mumbling this loud phrase in her sleep, Sango had been wondering on who the high-school girl could be talking about.
Could it be InuYasha, Koga, Miroku or Sesshomaru? Sango secretly hoped that InuYasha and Miroku were out of the picture, since InuYasha and Kagome were already a kind of pair and she had secretly fancied Miroku, even if he was a little lecherous.
Which of the four would go best with Kikyo? The name 'InuYasha' immediately flashed into the performer's mind, but hurriedly brushing the suggestion away, Sango thought of the next name. Hm…oh! InuYasha would be humble enough once Kagome sorted him out, but what about SESSHOMARU? The youkai had always been arrogant, stubborn and proud, but Kikyo's perfect ways would bring the youkai down, and to rub things in, she was a human, and Sesshomaru detested humans. Smirking, Sango fell into a peaceful, dreamless sleep.
The next morning, Kikyo and Sango were all dressed and ready to go.
"Oh, I bet that Kagome's and InuYasha's room is very fancy!" Kikyo smiled as the two headed off.
"I'll say," Sango grinned back at her friend. Looking back in front of her, the performer exclaimed, "Here we are!" before proudly stepping back to let Kikyo admire the flashy building.
"Wow, that's even better than our four-star hotel room," Kikyo whispered, hoping that Sango wouldn't give her a lecture on having to be grateful for having a nice hotel room like Kagome did. Speechless, Kikyo timidly entered the automatic doors and Sango followed suite. They soon stood befuddled as the richly furnished room spun around them.
When the two had regained their composure, Sango and Kikyo stepped into a lift. When they came out, however, a loud sound met their ears, and it came from Kagome's and InuYasha's room. Deciding not to go in yet, Sango and Kikyo both pressed their ears to the door and listened hard, for the wood was very thick.
"Kagome, you can do it! I can't hold on any longer!" the two heard the hanyou scream.
"Well, I'm suffering here, so you could pity me for once! Oh gosh, I can't do it!" Kagome seemed to be screaming back.
"Oh yes you can!" the acrobat moaned.
Kikyo and Sango had had enough. Bursting in, the two closed their eyes, but when they opened them again, they saw…InuYasha sitting down beside the entrance of the bathroom door moaning in what seemed to be frustration. As an added bonus, a plopping sound could be heard.
"Um…hi," Kikyo couldn't help grinning sheepishly. If Kagome had been around, then Kikyo's 'perfect' reputation would have been ruined.
"What? Just…help me get to the loo! I need it badly, and the wench inside is constipated!" InuYasha howled, clutching his crotch. "Just…hurry!"
"Kikyo, what do we do?" Sango asked, starting to panic. Confusion had clouded her mind, so she could not think clearly.
"What do you mean, what do we do? We bring him to OUR hotel bathroom, of course!" Kikyo cried, grabbing the hanyou's arm. Nodding, Sango helped the high-school girl haul the hanyou up and drag him towards the lift and through the doors of the hotel through to the hotel, which was waiting on the other side. Maybe there was hope after all. And maybe there was not.
"AAGH! UH OH, I'M GONNA…" words could not describe the hanyou's embarrassment as he began to pee uncontrollably through his pants and onto the pavement. Passer-bys couldn't help watching in shock and amusement as InuYasha, the most famous acrobat for miles around, began to make a fool of himself…for the very first time.
"Hey, Kikyo, Sango," Kagome was walking calmly towards the three. "I heard you guys inside our hotel room. What was going-" that was when realization dawned on the high-school girl. Smirking, Kagome sneered at the acrobat, who was staring down in shame at the puddle of pee, "Serves you right for treating me like this the whole time."
That was when Kikyo realized what Kagome had done. She had always been capable of doing the impossible when angered, and InuYasha had pushed way too far.
"Kagome, can I speak to you for a moment please?" the tone of Kikyo's voice made her friend freeze. "Just for a moment?" the tone of voice then turned syrupy. Smiling sweetly at Sango and InuYasha, Kikyo dragged Kagome away.
"Kagome," Kikyo sternly prodded Kagome in the chest. "You did NOT do what I think you did, did you?"
"What do you mean?" Kagome tried to hide her sudden guilt, but in vain.
"Yes, you must have," Kikyo frowned. "Maybe you should go confess to InuYasha right now. Even though he deserves to be whacked over the head, he does NOT deserve that."
"Oh well…" Kagome felt reluctant, but disobeying Kikyo in moments like this was like committing suicide. Walking over to the dazed acrobat, Kagome hung her head and mumbled, "I'm sorry I pretended that I was constipated, that I ruined each of your $1000 microphones and made you embarrass yourself in front of other people."
InuYasha's head snapped up, and at the time, he yelped, "You did WHAT!" Picking himself up, the hanyou quickly rushed back to the hotel to check and see if what Kagome had said about his $1000 microphones was true.
"You actually did that…?" Sango looked at Kagome, who still had her head bowed low. "I can't believe that you actually did that!"
"Well, you see, whenever Kagome is angered greatly, she will take her revenge such as now. You'd better tell InuYasha that; that way, he won't treat Kagome the same way ever again," Kikyo explained.
As if right on cue, the hanyou came back, sobbing sorrowfully. Looking down and trying not to laugh at the same time, Kagome hurriedly walked away from the 'scene of crime' and walked into a restaurant. She didn't want to be involved with InuYasha's problems right now. Suddenly feeling hungry, Kagome absent-mindedly sat down at an empty table and ordered a glass of milk and some toast.
"So, you need to apologize again," Kagome heard the dreaded voice speaking now. "Say sorry, or else!"
"What are you doing, you…?" were the last words Kagome gasped out loud before a hand clasped her mouth and dragged her out of the restaurant and into a nearby alley-way…
A/N: Cliffy! Ooh, I wonder what happens next. Well, I'll tell you something useful: I'm still deciding. Please review!
