Chapter 10: Along the Way…

After everyone had breakfast, Kagome went to the sitting room to phone up the dance academy. She dialled the number and as she waited for someone to answer, everybody came into the room one by one to gawp at the strange contraption that was the phone.

A nasal voice answered, "nnnhello? Tippytoes Dance Academy, how may I help you?"

Kagome began talking, and the rest looked at her, wondering why she was talking to a stick on a piece of curly rope. Mrs Higurashi was in the kitchen clearing up the breakfast plates and washing them. Sesshoumaru walked casually over to a window near the sofa and peered outside. Naraku stayed standing; he didn't touch anything in case something else tried to absorb him. Kikyo kept her hands behind her back afraid of breaking anything else. Kouga tried edging nearer to Kagome but somehow Ayame always got in the way, pointing at random things in the sitting room.

"Okay! Thanks!" Kagome put down the phone, faced them and smiled. "The academy is sending one of their minibuses to pick us up at 10:30, that's in half an hour. So I'll just go and get changed, don't touch anything, I'll be right back!" She ran up the stairs and into her room, closing the door. And locking it.

There was total silence in the sitting room, nothing was to be heard apart from the ticking of the wall clock and a few 'ahem's. Inuyasha sat on the sofa and twitched his leg impatiently, Naraku stood behind the sofa, twiddling his thumbs and swaying to and fro. Then, Hakudoushi said in a bored voice, "Does anyone have any friggin' idea of what a mee-nee-boos is?" Everyone shook their heads. Hakudoushi slapped his forehead.

Footsteps were heard and everyone turned to see Kagome walking down the stairs. She wore stylish black jeans and a pale pink t-shirt that fit just right.

"You look nice," commented Sango. Miroku nodded keenly in agreement. Sango looked at him.

"You also look nice Sango!" Miroku said quickly, smiling.

There was a 'beep!' from outside, making Shippou shoot up into the air in fright.

"Gaaaaaaaaaah!" he screamed. Kagome caught him.

"It's only the minibus, c'mon everyone, outside!" She said.

They all filed outside the front door up to the waiting minibus. Kagome walked ahead and stood by the door of the bus. She counted everyone as they went in before finally getting in herself. Mrs Higurashi stood on the doorstep of the house with her hands together.

Inside the minibus people pushed and shoved, not knowing what to do. When Kagome got in she hushed everyone and explained what the seats were for.

"Ooooooh," they all said.

They picked their seats, Kagome got into a seat behind the driver and motioned to a confused Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha! Sit with me!" Kagome said oblivious.

WHAM! Inuyasha hit the floor of the minibus making it jolt.

"Oooops!" Kagome covered her mouth. "Sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Inuyasha got up, grumbling, but soon blushed as he sat down in the seat next to Kagome. She smiled at him apologetically.

Naraku chose a seat near the back, close to the window and Kagura sat in the seat in front of him. Shippou didn't know where to sit so he hopped onto Kagome's lap and bounced there excitedly.

Kikyo floated gloomily around looking for a seat and spotted an empty one. She glided over to it and sat down. She turned to her left to see who was next to her.

"Hmhmhmhm…why hello…Kikyo." Naraku chuckled. Kikyo narrowed her eyes at him.

Sesshoumaru sat in the seat behind Kagome and Inuyasha, staring out the window with a hand on his chin. The seats were soon filled, and Miroku was still standing, along with Hakudoushi and Kanna. Miroku spotted the empty seat next to Sesshoumaru and made his way over there.

"Ahem, um…is it alright if I sat there?" Miroku inquired.

Sesshoumaru responded with a piercing death glare.

"Fine then I'll stand," Miroku said hurriedly and looked around. Sango sat with Kohaku so that meant no fondling on the way for Miroku.

Kouga was sitting grumpily near the window, while Ayame chatted to him non-stop, holding his arm. Kanna and Hakudoushi eyed Kagura and the empty seat next to her. They went over to Naraku and complained.

"Why does Kagura get to sit by herself? The two of us don't have seats! Make her stand." Hakudoushi whined.

"Very well" Said Naraku in his deep voice, "Kagura! Stand and let these two take those seats."

Kagura fumed, getting up from the seat angrily and let her two siblings sit down. Hakudoushi stuck his tongue out at her. She growled.

She looked around the minibus for an available seat.

Sango took pity on Miroku, seeing him standing there.

"Kohaku, come, sit on my lap." Sango said, patting her knees.

"But sister, won't I be too heavy for-" began Kohaku.

"Nonsense! Just sit." Sango said.

Miroku sighed. He didn't really know what these strange meeneebooses did and he would have preferred to sit down to find out.

"Miroku!" called out a voice that rang sweetly in his ears. Sango waved at him from her seat. "Come and sit with us!"

He eagerly made his way to Sango and Kohaku and sat down. No fondling allowed though, since Kohaku was in the way. Miroku shrugged. Oh well.

Kagura was left standing by herself. She saw only one available seat left. The one next to Sesshoumaru. She sighed. And trudged to the front, plonking down onto the seat. She looked at Sesshoumaru from the corner of her eye, he made no movements. Kagura breathed out, relieved that she was still alive.

Kagome turned around in her seat.

"Is everyone sitting in a seat?" She called out. They mumbled their 'yes's.

"Right! Let's go then!" She exclaimed happily and the driver nodded.
