I'm surprised I'm updating today. I had to go on some crappy school excursion and I didn't want to go. But the teacher said I would be suspended for 2 days. So I was forced to pay and go. Then the bus that took us broke down! So we had to waaaalk! I want my money back! I am so thankful for you reviewers! I feel loved. No, really I do! Thanks coolmarauders, Viperthe strange, SmifaliciousPurpleSquirrel, Naja607, getfuzzyfan04, ranchan23 (good guess! I'm actually half Colombian, half Portuguese and born in England!) , Lady Kagewaki, kagomemaster94, lalalalala2 and Sessy15001514, . I've got loads of new ideas, hope you enjoy 'em!

Disclaimer: hold on, let me just phone up Rumiko and ask her if I own Inuyasha. (author goes and dials number. Talks for a while then hangs up.) nope, thought not.

Chapter 15: Annoying Hotel Jerks-I Mean-Clerks

"Now streeeeeeetch, that's it, relax those tense muscles! Very good! Just point your foot slightly…perfect. And reeeeest." Said Annie in an almost soothing voice.

Kagome was enjoying this thoroughly, she had no idea how flexible she was. It was probably all that demon fighting that did it. Inuyasha on the other hand was a bit stiffer.

"ow, ow, ow, OW, OW!" he yelled as he tried to lower himself in order to touch his toes.

"Try not to push yourself too hard, it'll come easily." Annie told him.

Inuyasha straightened slowly and his back cricked. "SHIT! MY BACK!" he cried out as he hobbled over to a chair to sit down for a while. Kagome picked herself up from the floor after her stretch, putting her hands on her hips and shaking her head.

"No matter! You'll catch on pretty quickly, after all it is your first day!" Said Annie reassuringly. She looked down at her watch. It was 3pm. "We'll take a break and then we'll continue until 5pm. Okay?"

Kagome nodded eagerly and Inuyasha glared at the dance teacher that made him feel pain. Annie handed them both a bottle of water and went to the closet to take out a stereo. Inuyasha and Kagome exchanged glances.

"…And step, and two, and bend, and three, then streeeeeeeetch….verry good señorita Sango!" complimented Lorenzo. The aerobics music accompanied their steps and stretches and Sango was picking it up pretty quickly. Lorenzo did nothing but marvel and complement her, staying at her side all the time.

Sango giggled and Miroku, as he stretched, glared at Lorenzo.

"Ahem. and how about me? How am I doing?" asked Miroku. Lorenzo didn't even glance in his direction; he merely waved his hand dismissively.

"fine, fine señor." Lorenzo said, impatiently. Miroku glowered at him.

Sango stopped. "Lorenzo, why don't we rest for a while?" she panted.

"Of courrrse florecita mía! Take as much time as you need!" he told her. Miroku sighed with relieve as he rubbed his sore back. He still hadn't got used to the strange modern clothes he was given, since he always wore monk robes back home. Sango however, moved in the new clothes comfortably, her demon slayer suit being something similar to them.

Lorenzo passed her one of the two bottles of water he held in his hands. Miroku walked over to them and held out his hand to receive the other bottle but Lorenzo didn't give it to him. Instead he took a large gulp of water and pointedly ignored Miroku, leaving him standing there with his hand out.

Miroku stared angrily at Lorenzo. He was thirsty damn it! He felt a light tap on his shoulder and when he turned round he saw Sango holding out her half empty bottle to him.

"Here Houshi-sama, you can have the rest."

"Thank you Sango" Miroku said breathlessly and he drank the water left in the bottle.

Kouga simply refused to budge. Even after Ayame begged and pleaded with him, he still didn't move. Sean just shrugged his shoulders.

"It doesn't matter Ayame, if he doesn't want to get fit and obtain bigger, stronger, well built muscles to impress the ladies with, then that's up to him ain't it" he said, looking at his fingernails.

Kouga thought carefully. He could do with bigger muscles to impress Kagome with.

"Okay, fine let's do the stupid stretching already!" he snapped. Sean grinned and put on the aerobics music and began demonstrating each stretch while Kouga and Ayame did their best to follow.

Lola went to the closet to take out comfortable exercise clothes while Kikyo and Naraku stared at themselves in the mirrors.

"Do I really look like that?" asked Naraku, turning this way and that.

Kikyo gave him a bored look. "No you actually look a whole lot worse." She smirked.

"Why you-" began Naraku, raising his fist. Lola at that moment pranced up to them and tossed them the clothes.

Naraku caught his and stared at them disbelievingly. Kikyo took them and stroked the strange material.

"Now, afterrr you get changed wee wiiill do a few strrretches to get starrte-"

"You expect me to wear these?" Naraku asked in disbelief.

Lola looked at him harshly. "Yes I do, and I expect you to get changed NOW."

Naraku snorted. "No" he told her pointedly.

"YES" Lola snapped.

Naraku glowed red and rose up off the ground, his hair flowing wildly.

"I am the great Naraku, nothing and no one can control me!" he boomed.

Lola merely stared at him boringly. She took a few steps closer to him. Kikyo watched, amused at what the turnout would be.

"YOU COME DOWN RRRIGHT NOW! I'LL GIVE UNTIIIL THREE! ONE!...TWO!...AAAAND….THREE! DOWN, NOOOW!" Lola screeched loudly.

Naraku lowered himself to the ground in a split second. Lola approached him and glared at him murderously.

"I THOUGHT I MADE MYSELF CLEARRR ON WHO WAS THE TEACHERRR! NOW GET YOUR POWERRR CRAZY ASS INTO THAT CLOSET AND GET…CHANGED…NOOOW!" She blasted in his face.

Naraku let out a yelp and raced to the closet and slamming the door. Kikyo sniggered but stopped immediately when Lola whipped round to glower at her.

"WHAT ARRE YOU GIGGLING AT? GET CHANGED! RAPIDO, RAPIDO!" Lola shrieked, clapping her hands loudly in front of Kikyo's face. Kikyo floated quickly over to the closet and waited for Naraku to come out so that she could get in and change.

Kagura sat down wearily and panted, it seemed she wasn't as fit as she thought. Sesshoumaru just stood and stared.

Huh, he's done the same exercises as me, yet he hasn't even broken into a sweat! Heh, maybe it's because he's so cold, hehehe. She thought. Fleur turned the aerobics music down and waited patiently for Kagura to catch her breath. The albino guy was doing very well for a beginner, she noticed he had a certain elegance about him as he moved. But as for his partner…well, she needed a little more practice.

Fleur looked down at her watch and gasped.

"Mon Dieu! It is six pm! Well that's it for today I zink. You may change back into your, er, garments and pass me ze clothes you are wearing to wash them for tomorrow." Said Fleur.

Kagura and Sesshoumaru complied and after a few minutes they left the dance room.

"Au revoir, I shall see you tomorrow so we can get started on your performance for ze competition. Get plenty of rest and eat well tonight okay?" purred Fleur in her French accent.

Sesshoumaru 'humph'ed. He was a full demon Lord, he did not need to rest or eat like the lesser beings. He was surprised he hadn't killed anyone yet.

They both made their way down the stairs. Kagura glanced at him quickly.

"Well, that was interesting wasn't it?" She asked. She was met with silence. "Where are the others d'you think?" she enquired. More silence. Boy, he's really starting to bug me! I think I'll just talk to a stone wall, it might be more productive!

They arrived on the first floor, at the front desk. There was everyone, apart from Kagome and Inuyasha. They all looked worn out, especially Naraku and Kikyou who were looking around nervously in case Lola appeared any where.

"Okay guys I'm here!" cried Kagome, dragging a tired out Inuyasha along. "The hotel we're staying in is about 10 minutes away from here by foot and we'd better get going if we want to rest and eat." She told them. They all nodded tiredly. They all traipsed after her as she led the way, glancing at the address on the card Mr Tippytoes had given to her.

People on the streets stared at the strangely dressed group as they walked through the city. A few pointed at InuYasha and his ears, he growled at them menacingly.

They arrived at the grand Yoru Hotel and marvelled at it's huge glass doors and splendidly dressed porters. They entered and walked along the red carpet covering the floor of the foyer and gazed at the chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling.

Kagome approached the reception desk and rang the little bell. Trrrrriiiiing!

The hotel clerk turned to greet her.

"Nnnyes, welcome to the Yoru hotel, how may I help you?" he drawled.

Kagome cleared her throat. "Um, yes, hello, um, I'm here about the rooms that were reserved by Mr Tippytoes? Of Tippytoes dance academy? The rooms for me and my friends." She explained gesturing at the group. The hotel clerk glanced at the group of strangely clad beings and raised his eyebrows. He looked back at Kagome.

"I'm sorry but um…" he started, trying to find an excuse not to let those outrageously dressed people into the grand hotel. "…I'm afraid there are no vacant rooms." He said snootily. Kagome stared at him in disappointment.

"What? But, but these papers, they're signed by Mr Tippytoes himself! Look!" she insisted. The Hotel clerk look down at her a look of dislike on his face.

"You don't honestly think I'll allow those…clowns, enter this hotel? It'll ruin our reputation!" he said in a dignified voice.

"But-" Kagome began.

"Now leave or I'll be forced to call security." He said, dismissing her with a wave of his hand. Kagome glared at him angrily and stomped off towards the group.

"What's wrong Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.

"That stupid hotel jerk! He refused to give us the rooms!" she spat. Inuyasha rolled up the sleeves of his haori.

"I'll teach him to-" Inuyasha growled. Kagome grabbed his arm.

"NO! Violence isn't the answer Inuyasha! Besides, I have a better idea." Said Kagome. Inuyasha lowered his fists reluctantly. Kagome edged up to Sesshoumaru cautiously and tapped his arm. He looked down at her coldly.

Kagome gulped. "Erm, Sesshoumaru, could you, er, convince the hotel clerk to give us the rooms? You being good at persuading and all that." Asked Kagome meekly.

"Humph. And what makes you, a human, think I'll do such a thing?" he told her icily.

Kagome thought for a moment. "I won't tell any one about the sack thing. Not even Rin."

Sesshoumaru pondered. "Very well human, but only this once. The next time, I may have to kill you." He said flatly. Kagome gulped.

Sesshoumaru reached the desk in three long strides. The hotel clerk looked up. He sighed.

"I told the young woman I can't let you enter this hote-" he began. Sesshoumaru reached across the desk and swept him off the ground, holding him by the neck.

The hotel clerk gurgled, tapping Sesshoumaru's hand, that was around his neck.

"Uh, could you, cough let me go please? Gurgle" he asked, straining.

Sesshoumaru stared at him uncaringly.

"The rooms." He said in his deep monotone voice. The clerk gulped.

"I'm sorry but cough I can't do that splutter let go before I gurgle call security!" he squeaked.

Sesshoumaru simply tightened his grip around the man's neck. The clerk gasped for breath.

"The rooms." he repeated, his voice rising slightly. The clerk, aware that all those in the foyer were gaping at them, reached into his pocket and pulled out the room keys and held them out to Sesshoumaru. He took them and dropped the clerk onto the ground, behind the desk. Sesshoumaru strode towards Kagome as the clerk spluttered and coughed from behind the reception desk. Sesshoumaru tossed her the keys. Kagome caught them gawping at him in disbelief. She hadn't really been expecting him to do that, she thought he would just talk things out with the clerk, not strangle him. Oh well, at least they got the rooms.

"C'mon everyone our rooms are on the second floor, there are only two, but they're suites, you know, loads of beds and adjacent bathrooms and stuff." She stopped spotting the looks of bewilderment on each of their faces. She sighed. "Never mind, just follow me."

She led them up a huge staircase to the second floor and stopped when she found the two rooms. "201 and 202, yep these are the rooms!" she said checking the numbers on the keys. She handed one of the keys to Miroku.

"Here, take this, you just put it in that little hole and turn, yeah like that, and hear that click? It means you've opened it. Now all the guys in this room! I expect you to stay in there and no funny business okay? Got that Miroku?" Kagome asked him. Miroku laughed nervously.

"Good. G' night guys!" She said. They all mumbled and grumbled as they entered the room, especially Inuyasha, Kouga and Naraku, seeing they would have to share a room.

Kagome put the key in the door to open it and when it did she told the girls to go in. They gawked at the luxurious suite, it had five huge beds, a kitchenette, a sofa and a bathroom. It was beautifully decorated with satin curtains and fancy wallpaper and it smelt deliciously of lavender. Kagome breathed in and sighed happily, glancing at the girls who looked on in awe. Kagome yawned and realized it was getting late.

"We'd better get some sleep, it's going to be a long day tomorrow" she reminded them.

The girls nodded and one by one, flung themselves onto the comfortable beds to get a good night's rest.

A/N: Quite a long one isn't it? The next chapter will be a good one, I can promise you that! You know what to do, read and review! (hey that rhymed! Sorry, kyuuketsuki san pretty sleepy right now.) snore.
