READ THE AUTHORS NOTE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER!
Chapter 17: Welcome to the Wilderwild
The next few days passed without much happening. The girls had performed one other concert besides the first one. Once again the crowd loved them.
Today was a very special day for everyone. Today Inuyasha's parents were coming for a visit. During the summer his parents stayed in Paris. They had a beautiful summer home there—Inuyasha didn't mind because he mansion all to himself. That was why he had Miroku and Kouga stay with him. And of course Sesshoumaru, since—not by choice mind you—they were related.
"Oh my God, I can't believe were gonna meet your parents today Inuyasha," Kagome said with a somewhat look of nervousness.
"Don't worry, I know they'll love you," Inuyasha said walking up to Kagome and giving her a soft kiss on the lips. Kagome loved his kisses. She always melted when he kissed her.
"Come on let's go downstairs, they'll be here soon," Inuyasha said, putting his arm around her waist and leading her out of his room.
"KOUGA!" Ayame yelled as she began to chase him around the room. "COME BACK HERE!"
"NEVER!" he yelled back over his shoulder.
Kagome and Inuyasha walked downstairs and this is what they saw. Rin, Sessy, Sango, and Miroku were all sitting on the couch watching with humor showing evidently on their faces.
Inuyasha and Kagome went over to the couch to join the others. "Care to explain?" Inuyasha asked.
Flashback
"Hey Sesshoumaru why don't we make some milkshakes?" Rin questioned.
"This early Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Yeah why not. Hey, Ayame... Kouga, you guys want shakes?" Rin shouted into the other room.
"Yeah!" Kouga and Ayame yelled back.
5 minutes later
"Here guys," Rin said handing Ayame and Kouga their chocolate milkshakes. Kouga suddenly got an evil glint in his eyes, and grabbed his milkshake and poured the contents onto Ayame's head.
End Flashback
"What a jerk. Why did he do that?" Kagome questioned.
"No idea," came the response.
"Inuyasha! We're home!" a feminine voice could be heard through Ayame's screams.
"Mom and dad are here," Inuyasha said getting off the couch to go and greet his parents. Everyone else followed, except for Kouga and Ayame, who went upstairs to clean up.
"Hey mom... dad..." Inuyasha said greeting his parents with a hug. Sesshoumaru walked over to his parents and hugged them as well. Wow... He must have a really good relationship with his parents. I never knew he had a kind side, except with me of course. Kagome thought as she watched Inuyasha and his parents.
"Mom, dad, this is Sango and Rin," Inuyasha introduced the strangers to his mom and dad.
"Nice to meet you," his parents replied with smiles on their faces.
"And this is Kagome, my girlfriend," Inuyasha said a little nervous about what his parents might say.
"Well it's good to see Inuyasha finally has a good girl in his life, and not all those other bimbos he was dating before," his mother stated. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes at his mothers comment.
Just then Ayame and Kouga made their way into the room. "Oh and this is Ayame," Inuyasha said introducing the last member of the gang.
"Nice to meet you. Kouga, Miroku... It's been awhile, how have you two been doing?" Inuyasha's mother asked.
"Fine," the two of them replied giving her a hug as well. Wow... They're all like one big happy family. Ayame said observing the way they all acted.
"So have you three found girls yet?" Inuyasha's mother said indicating to Sesshoumaru, Kouga, and Miroku.
They all blushed at the comment, except for Sesshoumaru, who once again showed no emotion.
"Oh my bad, not the right time huh guys?" She asked with a laugh and walked with her husband to the living room.
"So what brings you guys home so early?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, we heard about you having people at the house and so we decided to set up a trip for you guys," Natalie—Inuyasha's mothers name—replied with enthusiasm.
"Oh mother what did you do?" Inuyasha asked with concern. He knew what his mother was capable of.
"Oh nothing much," his mother replied with a glint of mischief in her eyes. "You'll find out in a couple of hours. Right now I need all of you to go and pack enough clothes for a week."
No one said anything. They all just went to their rooms to pack, knowing there was no arguing with Natalie.
One hour later
Everyone was assembled in the living room, waiting to here what was in store for them.
"Well mom... What crazy plan do you have now?" Inuyasha asked, interested to hear what his mother had to say.
"Oh Inu, this isn't a bad thing I promise," Natalie replied.
"Sure it isn't honey," Ray, her husband responded.
"Oh shut up," Natalie retorted. "Anyway you will all be escorted out to the jet and you will be taken from there. I will not tell you where you are going or what you are going to do. You will find out everything once you arrive," Natalie finished as she ushered everyone towards the direction of the private jet.
"What are we doing?" Sango asked once everyone was situated on the jet.
"No idea... This is another one of my mother's crazy ideas I bet," Inuyasha sighed.
"I guess we'll find out when we get wherever we're going," Sesshoumaru said calmly.
"How can you be so calm? We have no idea where were going or what we're doing there," Ayame started spazzing.
"Aya chill, there is absolutely nothing we can do about this," Sango said as calmly as she could.
After a while everyone finally calmed down and fell asleep. There were three couches and one armchair on the jet. Kagome and Inuyasha were on one couch. Kagome was resting her head on Inuyasha's chest and his arm was around her waist.
Ayame was stretched out on her own couch. Kouga was in the middle of Rin and Sango, and Miroku was in the armchair.
A couple hours later
The pilot came and woke up everyone once they had landed. "Where are we?" Rin asked groggily.
"You'll see," the pilot said as he motioned for them to follow him outside.
"Wonderful," Ayame said sarcastically as she got up and followed the pilot outside.
They stepped outside and were in awe of what they saw. They were surrounded by mountains that were covered in snow. Even though they couldn't see it, there was a large river running through parts of the mountains.
"Wow this is amazing," Kagome said widening her eyes.
"Beautiful," Rin sighed.
"What the hell are we doing here?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, I know you all want to know what's going on, but you're not going to find out yet. First you will be split up into groups of two. Then you will be separated into four different selected locations, throughout this beautiful area—"
"—what about our concerts?" Ayame interrupted.
"Your manager has been notified about where you are and when you will be back," Joe—the pilot—said.
"And our movie?" Miroku asked.
"It has been put on hold," the Joe said.
"Can you do that?" Kouga asked in confusion.
"Don't forget that Inuyasha's parents are very powerful people," Joe said with a laugh. "Anyway like I was saying, once you get to your pre-selected locations you will find instructions on what to do. I wish you all the best of luck. Right now I'm going to blindfold you, and me and my co-workers will take you to your starting point."
Everyone was blindfolded and taken to different areas. Some of them were put on the jet, and some were put in vans. The last two were only taken about a mile away.
The first group
The first two were put into the plane alone with another group. No one knew who was where. Suddenly the plane started to descend and two people were taken out of the jet. They were walked away from the plane and through some trees.
"When you hear the jet take off you may remove the blindfolds," a voice said as footsteps began to recede back from where they came. Soon enough the jet was in the air and the two people left removed their blindfolds.
Inuyasha and Ayame looked at each other shocked. "Oh my God I can't believe this," Ayame said.
"Wonderful, now the wolf's going to get all pissy," Inuyasha said.
"What are you talking about?" Ayame asked, obviously confused.
"Just forget it," Inuyasha said.
"Look Inuyasha, if we're going to be together for the next, god knows how long, we're going to have to work together," Ayame stated. "We really don't need your attitude."
"Fine," Inuyasha replied. There really was no use in arguing with her. "Hey what is that over there?" he said indicating to the box that was just sitting on the ground.
"Let's go and see," Ayame said walking over to the random box on the ground. She opened it up and found backpacks, food, and a map and compass. They pulled everything out and sitting on the bottom was a note.
Hello everyone... I wanted to wish you good luck with your expedition. Inside this box you will find two backpacks, a weeks supply of food, water, utensils, a stove, a compass, and a map. If you look at the map you will see that it has a route plan. You have a destination to get to every day. It doesn't matter how you get there, but if you don't get to your destination, than you will have further to travel the next day. You will have to create your own places to sleep. Inside your bags you will also find a sleeping bag. Before you begin your journey, take everything out of the bag you brought with you and put it all in the backpack. You may only take what fits in the back pack with you. Sunday will be your last day and you will meet at base camp. I wish you luck on your journey.
-Natalie Taisho
"Oh my God," Ayame said after reading the note.
"Might as well get started," Inuyasha said as he began to pack his bag with his clothes. Ayame followed in suit.
After they had packed their bags they sat down and began to look at the map. "Ok, we're here," Ayame said pointing to a location that was right before a mountain began. "We have to get over this mountain and over to the river that lies on the other side. Any suggestions?"
"I say that we go up the mountain a little bit, but then cut through the patch of tree's that lies on the right side of the mountain. Once through the tree's it shouldn't take too long to get to the river. Then we'll stop and make camp," Inuyasha finished.
"Wow Inuyasha," Ayame said amazed.
"What?" he questioned.
"I didn't know you were actually smart," she said with a smirk.
"Feh," he replied as he grabbed his bag and started off in the direction they were supposed to go.
"Inuyasha wait up!" Ayame yelled as she grabbed her bag and hurried after him.
Back on the jet
The second group was taken more north and placed in a section that was surrounded by mountains. Once again the jet landed and the two passengers were taken out of the jet and taken away from it.
They were walked over to a little lake that was in the middle of the string of mountains that surrounded them.
"Once you hear the jet take off, you may remove your blindfolds," a voice said as the person began to walk away.
As soon as the jet was gone the two people removed their blindfolds.
"Yes I'm not with Miroku!" Sango yelled, obviously happy she would not have to spend a week with the pervert.
"Sango..." Sesshoumaru said in his normal monotone voice.
"Well aren't you just a bundle of joy," Sango stated.
Sesshoumaru and Sango had a box that was exactly the same as the one Inuyasha and Ayame had. They had just finished reading the letter that was at the bottom. It was an exact copy of the other one. The only difference was, was that they had a different route to follow.
"Well this is going to be interesting," Sesshoumaru said.
"You know it!" Sango said enthusiastically.
"Why are you so happy?" Sesshoumaru asked, confused.
"I'm not with Miroku. That makes me very happy," she said excitedly.
"Oh you know you like him," Sesshoumaru said in a taunting voice.
"Repeat that statement and I will not hesitate to kill you," Sango threatened. Sesshoumaru decided not to reply, but instead set to work on packing his bag. Sango once again looked happy and began to pack her bag as well.
Once their bags were packed they began to look at the map. "Well this is interesting. We were stuck right in the middle of mountains. Well I hope you're up for a challenge Sessy," Sango said.
"I was born ready," Sesshoumaru replied.
Sango smirked. Sesshoumaru seemed to act a lot differently when he was out of his normal atmosphere.
They both looked at the map and found that they had to get on the other side of a mountain. Their camping place was at the entrance of a forest.
"Well let's get started," Sesshoumaru said grabbing his bag.
"Welcome to the wilderwild," (1) Sango said as she grabbed her bag and followed after Sesshoumaru.
On the Van
The two that were put in the van had about a 30 minute trip. This group was starting near a large river. The van pulled to a stop and the two blindfolded teens were helped out of the van.
They were walked a little ways away from the van and stopped. "Once you hear the van leave, you may remove the blindfolds," a voice said as he started heading back towards the van. Once the van had left, the two people removed their blindfolds hesitantly.
"Oh man I'm stuck with the pervert," and exasperated Kagome said with dismay. "This sucks; I can't believe I have to spend a week with you."
"Oh come on I'm not that bad," Miroku said trying to defend himself.
"Wanna bet?" Kagome said in an all-knowing voice.
"Nevermind I give up. I promise I won't touch you. Inuyasha would have my head. Literally..." Miroku gulped.
Kagome laughed at his comment, knowing full well that Inuyasha really would kill him.
It was just then that Kagome realized that Miroku was no longer standing beside her. "Miroku?" she called out in a worried voice.
"I'm over here," he called from his spot on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Kagome questioned. "What is that?" she asked indicating toward the box the Miroku was currently looking through.
"Come and see," he said motioning for her to come over and take a look and what the box held.
They both looked through the box together, and read the exact same letter that the others had read. "Well this is interesting," Miroku said, looking though the gear that was packed inside the box.
"This is gonna be hell," Kagome said shaking her head.
"Oh come on Kag's, don't forget, you're with me. Everything will be alright I promise." Miroku said smiling.
"I wasn't talking about the trip Miroku. I'm actually kinda excited for this. I was talking about spending the week with you," she said, smirking.
Miroku covered his hand with his heart, and sighed. "That hurts Kagome."
"I'm sure you'll get over it," Kagome said smirking once again. "Well let's pack our bags, and get this trip going."
They spent about twenty minutes going through their bags and packing everything. Once they had finished with that, they began to look at their map. "Well it looks like we have to kayak down this river about two miles," Kagome said examining the map.
They both walked over to the edge of the river and found two, one person kayaks. "You any good?" Kagome asked Miroku.
"Uh...Sure why not," he replied smiling.
Kagome shook her head. This is definitely going to be interesting."
The Last Group
The last two were not taken very far away at all. In fact, they didn't take any means of transportation. All they had to do was walk.
Once they were taken to their destination a man's voice said, "Once you no longer hear our footsteps, you may remove the blindfolds."
The two waited patiently and were finally able to remove their blindfolds. They took one look at each other and smiled.
"Hey Kouga," Rin said nonchalantly.
"Hey Rin," he replied.
"I'm glad to see I didn't get stuck with the pervert," Rin said with a smirk. Kouga smirked at her statement. Rin and Kouga got along just fine. There was never any real hostility between the two.
It was Rin who first noticed the backpack with all of the items they would need for the journey ahead.
Like everyone before them, Rin and Kouga read the letter and sorted through the items that were contained in the bag. They removed their clothing from the bags they had brought with them, and transferred the clothing and other items to the vibrant blue backpacks that were provided for them.
These two were actually in the middle of a forest. The map told them that they were to navigate out of the forest and follow a curving path to the beginning of a mountain. They knew they had a lot of work cut out for them.
"Well, shall we get started?" Rin asked, eager to start this trip. Kouga nodded his head in response, and together the two set out to begin their journey.
AN: I know I know... Shoot me! I'm so sorry it took so long. Like I said before I wasn't allowed to write for three weeks. Once my grandpa got home I was allowed to write, and I began work on this chapter. But, I just got back from a volleyball tournament, which was why I didn't get this up on Friday. Anyway I know the last chapter sucked and I'm really sorry about that. I hope you guys enjoyed this one. Hopefully I'll update soon. Oh and I did the same thing as I made Inuyasha and everyone do. Except we had about eight people in a group and we were in canoe's for the whole week. Fun stuff.
(1) When I went on a trip like this (except we were on the water) we went to the Everglades. When we got off the bus, a friend of mine said "welcome to the wilderwild." That's how I got this quote.
Oh and I just now found out that I am no longer allowed to write responses to reviews. God I swear I am so pissed at my grandpa. He claims that I am openly communicating with people I don't know. My god in 15! I'm not stupid. Sorry I'm really pissed. Just to let you know, if you are the first to review, the chapter is dedicated to you. If you have a question I will try and answer it here, in the AN. And if you want me to read your story, then I send a review. I'm so sorry about this. I love writing the responses to your reviews, but if I do and my grandpa finds out he will take my laptop away. HE IS SO DAMN CONTROLLING. It makes me so mad. Anyway, sorry about this. Till next time... Ja ne!
