Chapter 14: Elevator Races & Complimentary Mints

Note: well here is the latest chapter of Haunting Memories; it should be a bit on the humorous side. Warning: old couple making out may be included in this section! Hehe!

Kagome waited in the lobby of the hotel for Inuyasha to bring in all their luggage. She had refused to help him because he had gone through her underwear draw to pack for her! She heard Inuyasha grunting as he pulled the heavy suitcases in with him. (A/N: remember he's human so he doesn't have all his Hanyou strength)

"You done?" Kagome asked

Inuyasha bowed, "Yes, I have pulled in your entire luggage princess Kagome."

Kagome whacked him on the head and then walked up to the front desk; a slightly dizzy Inuyasha was behind her. "Hello, welcome to the Hilton." The girl said at the front desk.

"Hello," Kagome paused to read her name tag, "Rin, we would like two rooms please, and for one night only."

"Yes, Ma'am that will be 100$." Rin said with a smile.

Kagome's jaw dropped, and she nudged Inuyasha. "Did you happen to bring any money?"

"No, but I brought the next best thing." He said cheerily, and then he pulled out Kagome's credit card.

"No way, you are not using my credit card to pay for this."

"Ok, that's fine we can go sleep under the interstate tonight. Hey, and maybe if we're polite the homeless man will share some of his cardboard box with us." Inuyasha said sarcastically.

Kagome sighed, "Fine."

Inuyasha paid and they were each given separate rooms Kagome got room #417 and Inuyasha got room number #418.

This time Kagome helped with the luggage and they both dragged it to the nearest elevator. They weren't alone; there was a Man with long brown hair and a Matching T-shirt on, on the elevator as well. He coughed when Kagome walked in. It was at that time that she realized how ridiculous she looked in yellow piggy pajamas. Her face turned a deep scarlet and she turned to Inuyasha so the man wouldn't see her embarrassment.

Inuyasha pressed the four button on the elevator and the man walked over and pressed six. "My names Kouga" he said to lighten the mood.

"Mines Inuyasha." Inuyasha said

"My names Kagome." Kagome squeaked from behind Inuyasha.

The rest of the ride there was an awkward silence. When Kagome finally got off she let out a long sigh.

"That guy gave me the creeps!" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha

"Yeah, he was a bit strange."

Kagome was in her room and was lying on the bed when all of the sudden Inuyasha came in and was out of breath. (Her door was open.) "What's wrong with you?" Kagome asked as she got off her bed and walked over to Inuyasha.

"My room is already occupied that Rin girl screwed up!" he yelled. "And in gets worse there is an old couple making out in there!"

Kagome was doubled over in laughter after hearing his last statement. "You're not serious!" she gasped.

Inuyasha nodded then grabbed Kagome's wrist. He dragged her down stairs and up to the front desk. "Rin, my room is occupied we need Two more rooms!"

Rin bit her lip, "We only have one room left then, and it only has one bed. It's the one she's staying in room #417."

Inuyasha put his room key down on the front desk, "That's fine we'll just use that one."

When they were halfway to the Elevators Kagome stepped in front of Inuyasha and spoke, "Here's the deal we are gonna race to the room first one there gets the bed."

"Fine, you're on!" he said, but before he could run to the elevators Kagome leaned up on the tip of her toes and kissed him. She did it to throw him off. Right After the kiss Kagome tore off down the hallway to the elevator. Inuyasha slowly came back to reality and then raced to the Elevators. When he got there Kagome was already in an Elevator and the doors shut as he ran towards her. Inuyasha pressed the up button on the other Elevator and waited.

In all of Kagome's glory of beating Inuyasha she had accidentally pressed button #8 instead of #4! The bad part was she realized it when she was on floor six and the elevator stopped to let some people in. buttons #10, #7 #12 and #3 were all pressed Kagome sighed in frustration she knew she was going to lose….

Meanwhile Inuyasha was dashing down the fourth floor hallway to their room. He was surprised when he found out Kagome hadn't beaten him. "Woo-hoo!" he yelled and had some one yell for him to shut up in response.

It had been near fifteen minutes and Kagome had finally gotten off of the Elevator ride from hell. Some person in the elevator had major gas and was farting the entire way up! Kagome rasped on the door and waited for Inuyasha to answer (he had the key.)

"coming." He hollered from the other side of the door. He grinned when he saw it was Kagome. "Loser!" he shouted in her face and then picked her up. Inuyasha carried her into the bathroom and dumped her into the bath tub that was filled with icy cold water. Kagome screamed as she fell and the jumped out soaking wet and freezing cold.

"INUYASHA!" she screamed. She yelled when she realized he had already left the room. After her outburst Kagome grabbed a towel and attempted to dry off.

Inuyasha came back ten minutes later; Kagome was brushing her teeth and was slightly drier than before. "Hey, Kags guess what!"

"What?" she mumbled

"THEY HAVE COMPLEMENTARY MINTS!" he yelled in excitement.

"So.."

"So, I like mints." Inuyasha said sounding offended.

"Inu, you are the weirdest person I know."

"I try my best." He said sarcastically, and then went to lie down on the bed.

Later that night Kagome was lying down on the coach, Inuyasha was in 'his' bed. Kagome couldn't sleep so she crawled in the bed with Inuyasha. Soon she fell asleep.

The next morning Kagome woke up after Inuyasha and got into some jeans and a sweatshirt. She and Inuyasha then went down to the lobby for breakfast. Kagome grabbed a blueberry muffin and Inuyasha got sausage. Kagome told Inuyasha about her amusing elevator ride from the night before while they ate breakfast. Inuyasha laughed the entire time.

When they got back from breakfast Inuyasha immediately dashed into the bathroom. Kagome noticed that the housekeeping had cleaned the room had left two complementary mints on their pillows. An evil smile graced her face as she snatched up both mints and put them in her pocket. Payback time…

A few minutes later and the car was packed. They would've left except for the fact that Inuyasha was throwing a temper tantrum about not getting his free mint. Kagome watched from a far smiling the entire time. "JUST GIVE ME THE FRIGGIN MINT!"

"I'm sorry sir, but we're all out." Rin squeaked.

"FINE!" he yelled and stormed out; Kagome was ahead of him. When they were both outside Kagome threw Inuyasha's mint to him and said, "Oh I almost forgot here's your mint!" Inuyasha just stood there dumbfounded and embarrassed at the scene he had caused. I'll never eat another complementary mint in my life...
