Next Morning
I woke up to silence, absolute silence, which was worrisome in itself. I cautiously stuck my head out the bedroom door. No Sango battering Miroku, no Yusuke singing in the shower, no Yash yelling at us to hurry up so we won't be late. I frowned. Where was everybody? Was this some sort of practical joke? I cautiously walked into the common room. That's when I saw him.
"No! No, it can't be you. You can't hurt me anymore!"
"Oh really," he said as he strode up to me, then he smacked me hard across the face and sneered, "You're mine you little bitch, and don't you ever forget it."
"No, no, no, no..."
'Kagome! Kagome, wake up!'
"Sango??"
'Yes Kagome, it's me. Wake up!'
I groggily opened my eyes and saw Sango, Miroku, and Yusuke looking down at me.
"Kagome...again?" Sango asked.
I nodded, "It was so real this time."
Yusuke looked at me funny, "What happened to your face?"
I stilled and got pale, "What?"
"Your face, you've got a nasty bruise coming in."
My eyes widened, "No! It was just a dream. JUST A DREAM!"
"All right," Sango said, ushering them out the door, "I think you guys should leave, you're just upsetting her more." When they were finally gone, she turned to me, "All right, now tell me exactly what happened."
"It was the most realistic dream yet, I woke up, and there was absolute silence, so I went to see what was up, but you guys weren't here and he was. I said that it wasn't possible and he couldn't hurt me anymore. Then he smacked me and told me I was his and I shouldn't ever forget it. Then you woke me up."
"And you had a bruise when you woke up. You haven't hit your head on anything recently have you? She asked looking around.
"No." I replied.
"Well I don't see anything around that you could have hit your head on while you were sleeping."
"So you're saying..."
"No! No there has to be some kind of logical explanation for this."
"Well? I'm waiting."
"I don't know yet."
I sighed. "Well, let's just forget about it for now, all right?"
"Sure, c'mon, we better start getting ready. It's going to take a lot of concealer to cover up that bruise..."
Today's class was Kendo. Sango talked me into taking it. Sesshoumaru was the teacher, and he just went over basic safety rules, then set people to sparring. He sent somebody to teach me the basic maneuvers, I managed to maim my partner several times, even with the practice blade, at least until Sesshoumaru declared that I would practice with Sango. I love Sango to death, but I hate her as a teacher. She's evil. Every time I bruised her, she bruised me back. By the time lunch came around I was so sore I couldn't move without wincing.
After I put my food down I lowered myself into the chair like an old granny.
"Ooooo.."
"What's wrong wench?"
"My name's not wench!" I snarled
"Ugh, whatever. What's wrong girl."
"There's nothing wrong Inuyasha." I growled.
Sesshoumaru sat down. "You being in kendo is what's wrong." He said to me. Then he turned to Inuyasha, "She's sore because every time she accidentally bashed Sango, Sango bashed her back."
I grumbled, "With people like her as family I don't need enemies."
Sesshoumaru shook his head. "You learn better Sango's way. She's trying to help you not hurt you."
"Not that, she's the one who made me sign up for Kendo. I was perfectly happy with archery, which I happen to be fairly proficient at."
Kurama came up to me and said quietly, "You might want to run now."
"I'm too sore to run anywhere, but just for curiosity's sake, why?"
"Inuyasha found out that you were behind the fan girl incident, and he decided that what's good for the goose is good for the gander."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you now have a herd of fan boys after you."
"We have fan boys!?!"
"Sadly yes. Most of the school is obsessed with our group."
I rolled eyes, then suddenly they widened. "Uh oh, they found me." I brightened, "Ah hah! An idea!" I stood up on the table and shouted, "AHEM, attention fan boys, I'm afraid a cruel joke has been played on you. You see, Inuyasha was enraged by jealousy when I told him, I had found my one true love and it wasn't him, so he sent you here to try and tear us apart."
"So where's your true love?" one guy asked.
"Oh, he isn't here yet," I said, starting to feel uneasy about this.
What's his name?" piped in another.
'Uh oh,' I thought nervously, 'Who to pick? I can't pick Sess cuz of Kagura, Shippos' too young, and Miroku's too perverted. I can't pick some random guys because I have a feeling they might hurt him. so it has to be someone I could not care less about seeing hurt...' at that moment I spotted a familiar head of spiky black hair walking past, and because of my fast and panicked thought processes , I acted rashly, grabbed him, and turned to face the guys.
"This is my Hiei-baby." I said.
"Wha-mmph" '
Hiei was going to ruin everything. I had to do it!' I thought still vaguely panicked because if they didn't leave soon, Hiei was going to come out of his shocked stupor and ruin everything anyway. A few seconds later he pushed me away from him, wiped his mouth, and said, "ONNA, what the hell was that for!?!"
"Are they gone? Please tell me they're gone."
"Yeah, they dispersed about thirty seconds into the kiss." Kurama replied.
"WHAT! Why didn't someone say something?!?"
"Because it was vastly entertaining." Sesshoumaru said.
"NINGEN!" Hiei said again to regain my attention.
"WHAT! Oh. Don't think I wanted to do that! But you didn't leave me a choice. You were going to ruin everything. If you would have just played along...
"WHAT!! Don't even try to blame this on me!" Hiei said angrily.
"Whatever. You can go now. I don't need you anymore."
"Hn." Then he glared at me and left.
Inuyasha was just sitting there pouting.
"Gee, Inu. I'm soo sorry your little plan didn't work. How did you find out it was me behind that fan girls anyway?"
"After I threatened to hurt them, they were more than happy to divulge exactly who gave them the idea that I liked their attention."
"You were going to hurt girls!"
"Not actually. I just threatened to."
"You are such a jerk."
"Well if you hadn't involved them in our little feud it wouldn't have
happened."
"Correction. If you weren't rude it wouldn't have happened."
"You're probably right. I have to admit I never would have thought of siccing the fan boys on you if you hadn't done it first with the fan girls."
"I know I'm a genius." I grinned.
Inuyasha just shook his head and ruffled my hair.
You know, I think Inuyasha and I just settled our feud. Oh don't get me wrong, there will still be the occasional prank just to liven things up, but our 'prank a day' day's are over. A slightly evil thought strikes me.
"Hey Yash, can you imagine the havoc we could wreak on the masses if we teamed up?"
"Actually I can't, but I imagine after a few days of practice I'll have a good idea."
Everybody at the table sat in shock. They'd never thought that those two would form an alliance. The school was in serious trouble. Sesshoumaru and Sango looked at each other and sighed in resignation.
Bell Rings
And then there was math. Uckiness. I don't know how Miroku gets better grades than I do. He spends ¾ of the class unconscious! pouts It's so unfair. My next couple of classes are always kind of boring. But I thought that Bio should be interesting after the 'incident' at lunch, but no, Hiei was his usual stoic self. However...you know the saying 'still waters run deep'? Well I intend to find out just how deep these waters run. It'll take a lot of work to get him to open up, but I'm patient, and the reward is ample. I started smiling, but it faded and I shuddered.
Today was busy enough that I didn't have time to think about this morning, but now that the day's winding down, I'm really glad that tonight's the night of our sleepover. Yeah that's right, we're pulling an all-nighter, on a school night. That's why Shippo and Kanna won't be there. We declared them too young. Kouga and Ayame can't tear themselves away from each other so they won't be there either. I swear to god they go out every night. Anyway, we have the whole thing all planned out.
The guys are going to take over the common room for a video game tournament, and us girls are going to do girl stuff in our room. We did food runs earlier today on the breaks. Oh yeah. We got enough food to feed a small army. We got 5 bags of chips, popcorn, we got two 24 packs of pop, one mountain dew, one Pepsi, we got M&Ms and starburst, the ever popular Twinkies, and who could forget Oreos. Plus we ordered Better than Sex Cake and Pocky from the kitchen, and plan on getting pizza delivered. Oh the food!
Sango and I set up our room earlier. We have all the stuff for makeovers and manicures ready and waiting. Plus we've made sure that everyone got their homework done early. The girls should be getting here any minute. The guys have been here since they got out of their last classes. Just then I heard the wolf whistles and the shouts. sigh Maybe we shouldn't have agreed to have them wear their pajamas over, instead of changing here. I went out to see who was being victimized by the guys. It was Yukina. I had to admit she did look good in her pink satin short shorts and white spaghetti strap top. Then again Sango and I look pretty good in our pj's too. The oversized midnight blue silk man's pajama top made her look really delicate and feminine, and I thought I looked okay in my wife beater and the matching bottoms to her top. Speaking of Sango, she went to help Kikyo carry the food she picked up earlier from the kitchen over to our room from hers. They should be back any minute there's a knock at the door That's probably them. I tried to answer the door, but a small stampede of males got in my way. Turns out it was Boton anyway. What was really funny was the way Kurama kept looking at her. When he finally managed to blurt out, "Aren't those my clothes you're wearing?" to Boton, I took another look at her ensemble of a huge flannel shirt and boxers, and looked at Kurama and mouthed 'flannel??" at him.
"WHAT?!" he said indignantly," I wear it when I garden!"
Everybody just looked at him like he was crazy and shrugged. Then, of course I showed Boton where to stow her stuff, and by the time we returned we saw a horde of guys staring at the door in anticipation and practically panting. Yukina just shook her head, Boton looked bemusedly at Kurama, and I started to scold them...
"You know Sess, I expect this from everyone here except you and Kurama, and who are the most avid..." I was interrupted by Sango yelling through the door,
"Will somebody open this thing?! We don't have any hands here!"
WHOOSH Suddenly the door was open and there was Inuyasha grinning down at Kikyo. I rolled my eyes and went to help them with the stuff, but before I'd gotten two steps Kagura was at the door, and of course the sight of so many girls in pajamas had rendered the guys pretty much useless. So I had to take charge before this deteriorated into chaos.
Boton, show Kagura and Kikyo what to do with their stuff. Yukina, Sango you put the food over there on the mini fridge. "You guys," I said, looking at them sternly "need, to sit down and get on with your tournament, rather than obstruct the flow of traffic, stare, and breathe down our necks."
By the time I was done with my little rant, the girls had all come back. It was only then that I had the time to notice Kagura and Kikyo's pajamas. Kagura had on a long black silk robe and Kikyo had a red silk pajama set. Then I took a look at the group as a whole and decided we looked pretty hot and I couldn't really blame the guys for their reactions. I'd have to apologize to them later though, cuz it was definitely time to get down to business. I looked at my watch. It was only a little after 9:00.
"Hmm, what do you think girls, should load up on junk food and we do our thing for an hour then order pizza?"
A chorus of affirmative answers met my question. So we proceeded to our room. I picked up a fingernail file and started filing away at Kagura's nails, while Kikyo applied a face mask to Sango, and Yukina and Boton did their toes.
There was silence for a while, then I broke it by saying, "Well this is a sleep over. Shouldn't we be dishing about guys..."
"It's true," Kikyo said, "Proper sleep-over etiquette and all."
At this point, in the common room the guys stopped what they were doing.
Miroku said, "Did anyone else hear that?"
"Yeah, where's it coming from?" Yusuke asked.
"Shh," said Sess, and then all the guys heard a girl's voice and traced it to a vent in the bathroom that must connect to the girls' room. Soon every guy was scrunched in the small space just in time to hear Boton say...
"Well," Boton said, "I think it's obvious that I like Kurama."
"And every girl here can see why. Those eyes are just beyond belief." I said
"And that hair...oh my god it's gorgeous." interjected Kikyo.
"Yeah, I wonder what he uses on it." said Sango
Boton replied, "He just uses regular shampoo, his hair is a natural phenomenon."
"And his hair and eyes aren't the only thing he's got going for him," said Yukina, "Part of his attraction is his attitude. He's obviously oblivious to his good looks and for some reason that's attractive."
"Not only that but he's polite and respectful! Not like some of the bakas around here." Sango said.
"And he has this way of making you feel like you're the only thing that matters to him at that particular moment." Boton sighed
"And doesn't the way he's so quiet make you want to be the one to make him scream?" I asked grinning wickedly.
"Kagome!" Sango said as she hit me with a pillow.
"What! I was just saying what everyone was thinking."
"That's true." a couple of the girls admitted.
Back in the bathroom Kurama is staring at the vent in shock. He had no idea that the girls thought of him like that. Of course he was kind of huddled in a corner to escape from the various death glares being directed at him. The next statement caused everyone's attention to snap back to the vent in shock.
"Sooo, while we're on the subject Boton, what kind of underwear does Kurama wear?" sweet, innocent, little Yukina asked.
"What! I'm not going to tell you that!" Boton said indignantly.
"Ah...so she knows, she's just not telling. How about if we manage to guess it, then you confirm??" I asked
"I guess there's no harm in that," Boton said reluctantly.
"All right," said Kagura, "Hmm...green briefs???" she asked.
"No I don't think so," I interjected, "Boxers are so much more about comfort. I say cotton boxers...what color though..."
"Red," piped in Sango, "That color just suits him."
"Well, Boton? Ante up, are we right or not?"
"Bravo, you guys are good at this game."
In the bathroom, Kurama stared at the vent, "How'd they know?" He asked vaguely astonished.
Back in the room, Kagura started laughing. "Guys, I got an idea, you have to promise not to laugh."
"All right, all right," we all said, "Just tell us already."
"You guys have all heard of edible underwear, right?"
"Right." We said cautiously.
"Well what flavor would Kurama be?"
"Hmm, I think of Kurama as a combination of flavors, something fresh and sweet with just a little tang, so I'd have to say Kurama is...strawberries and spearmint." Kikyo put out there.
"I would totally agree with that." Boton said
"Yeah that is pretty good."
"I certainly can't come up with anything better."
In the bathroom the guys were all just sitting there. 'Edible underwear,' was the unanimous thought, 'how'd they come up with that?' When someone finally spoke, it was to say, "You know, I'm beginning to think the girls are worse than us." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"All right, Yukina it's your turn."
"Well obviously I like Kuwabara."
"Yes but WHY?" I asked in mystification.
"Well, okay so he's not the brightest crayon in the box, but he's sweet, and kind, he protects me, he's honorable, and he likes animals."
I shrugged "Well to each her own I guess," then I shuddered, "As much as I hate to say this, what kind of underwear?"
Boton piped up, "I think I've got this one, pink cotton boxers with kitties on them." She looked to Yukina for confirmation and she nodded, "And for a flavor I'd have to say Kuwabara's pure vanilla."
"Agreed." Everyone chorused.
"All right Kagura," I said, "It's your turn, who do you like?"
In the bathroom Sess listened intently.
Kagura blushes, "Well, I kind of like Sesshoumaru. A lot."
"Well what are you going to do about it girl?"
"Nothing, I don't think he likes me back."
"Trust me girl. You've got nothing to worry about."
Kagura looked at me questioningly and I nodded.
"All right. I guess I'll ask him to the movies or something sometime."
"Great! Now on to the business of flavor and underwear...Any suggestions."
"Ermm...he looks like the type for black silk boxers, dark and luxurious ooo and dark chocolate for the flavor."
"I don't know," I said, "He wears way too much white to wear black underwear. I would say gold, but that's too gaudy....my final vote is on white silk boxers."
"Also, dark chocolate is too bitter for Sesshoumaru," Kagura put in, "He is definitely sweet enough deep down to rate caramel."
Again everyone chorused "Agreed."
"All right Sango's turn."
"I guess if I had to pick someone I'd pick the pervert."
grin 'This is going to be easier than I thought to get them together.' I thought. Then I looked around. "Well any suggestions"
"This is a hard one."
"Everyone nodded."
"All right, let's break down his personality, for the flavor. What is his first impression on people."
"Well," said Sango, "He comes off as really nice and polite at first, until he hits you with his pervertedness." rolls eyes "His pervertedness might even be hot if he'd just focus it on one girl when they're in private."
"Hmm," I said taking a chip, then I got all excited, "Nacho cheese, guys. It's cool at first but then it works up to a slow burn."
Sango mused, "I don't think that's quite right...but it'll do for now. As for the underwear, purple just seems right for him."
"Well, purple is decadent, just like him...hmm style...Miroku's bikini's all the way."
"Satin. I say satin's a good fabric for Miroku. So we have purple satin bikini underwear. Anyone object?"
There was silence.
"All right then. Kikyo it's your turn."
"I like Inuyasha," she said unabashed, "And I say he definitely goes without."
"Yeah," most of the girls agreed he was the type to go commando.
"He's definitely cinnamon and sugar. Spicy and sweet at the same time."
"He does have the temper and the attitude with that core of gruff softness." Kikyo said.
"All in favor?"
"AYE!!"
"All right Kagome. It's your turn."
"I really don't like anyone??"
All the girls glared.
"Fine, fine. I guess Hiei's hot."
All the girls just stared.
"What!?!"
"Jeez," Kagura said, "I thought I went for the unattainable ones, but you've got me beat."
All the girls nodded, and in the bathroom the guys were doing the same, except for Sesshoumaru and Kurama, who were having the unanimous thought that if anyone could do it, Kagome could.
"Fine." I said pouting, "you're the ones who made me pick someone. And I say black cotton boxers, and he's definitely those little red candies...what are they called...I think its red hots.
All the girls shrugged, "We don't know him well enough to dispute you, but he's always seemed kind of cold to us."
"Oh, trust me, he's hot!"
Everyone looked around, "We done?" someone asked.
"Technically yes, but I feel kind of bad that Yusuke got left out. I think I've got it too."
"Well do tell."
"His flavor is root beer and his underwear are purple and green plaid flannel boxers."
Everyone stared.
"You know that fits..." Yukina said.
"Okay we agree."
I looked at my watch. "Ugh guys it's definitely time to order pizza. I'll go tell the guys..."
In the bathroom all the guy's eyes get wide and they start to scramble for the door leaping over each other and stepping on fingers....
I woke up to silence, absolute silence, which was worrisome in itself. I cautiously stuck my head out the bedroom door. No Sango battering Miroku, no Yusuke singing in the shower, no Yash yelling at us to hurry up so we won't be late. I frowned. Where was everybody? Was this some sort of practical joke? I cautiously walked into the common room. That's when I saw him.
"No! No, it can't be you. You can't hurt me anymore!"
"Oh really," he said as he strode up to me, then he smacked me hard across the face and sneered, "You're mine you little bitch, and don't you ever forget it."
"No, no, no, no..."
'Kagome! Kagome, wake up!'
"Sango??"
'Yes Kagome, it's me. Wake up!'
I groggily opened my eyes and saw Sango, Miroku, and Yusuke looking down at me.
"Kagome...again?" Sango asked.
I nodded, "It was so real this time."
Yusuke looked at me funny, "What happened to your face?"
I stilled and got pale, "What?"
"Your face, you've got a nasty bruise coming in."
My eyes widened, "No! It was just a dream. JUST A DREAM!"
"All right," Sango said, ushering them out the door, "I think you guys should leave, you're just upsetting her more." When they were finally gone, she turned to me, "All right, now tell me exactly what happened."
"It was the most realistic dream yet, I woke up, and there was absolute silence, so I went to see what was up, but you guys weren't here and he was. I said that it wasn't possible and he couldn't hurt me anymore. Then he smacked me and told me I was his and I shouldn't ever forget it. Then you woke me up."
"And you had a bruise when you woke up. You haven't hit your head on anything recently have you? She asked looking around.
"No." I replied.
"Well I don't see anything around that you could have hit your head on while you were sleeping."
"So you're saying..."
"No! No there has to be some kind of logical explanation for this."
"Well? I'm waiting."
"I don't know yet."
I sighed. "Well, let's just forget about it for now, all right?"
"Sure, c'mon, we better start getting ready. It's going to take a lot of concealer to cover up that bruise..."

Kurama came up to me and said quietly, "You might want to run now."
"I'm too sore to run anywhere, but just for curiosity's sake, why?"
"Inuyasha found out that you were behind the fan girl incident, and he decided that what's good for the goose is good for the gander."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you now have a herd of fan boys after you."
"We have fan boys!?!"
"Sadly yes. Most of the school is obsessed with our group."
I rolled eyes, then suddenly they widened. "Uh oh, they found me." I brightened, "Ah hah! An idea!" I stood up on the table and shouted, "AHEM, attention fan boys, I'm afraid a cruel joke has been played on you.

They should be back any minute there's a knock at the door That's probably them. I tried to answer the door, but a small stampede of males got in my way. Turns out it was Boton anyway. What was really funny was the way Kurama kept looking at her. When he finally managed to blurt out, "Aren't those my clothes you're wearing?" to Boton, I took another look at her ensemble of a huge flannel shirt and boxers, and looked at Kurama and mouthed 'flannel??" at him.
"WHAT?!" he said indignantly," I wear it when I garden!"
Everybody just looked at him like he was crazy and shrugged. Then, of course I showed Boton where to stow her stuff, and by the time we returned we saw a horde of guys staring at the door in anticipation and practically panting. Yukina just shook her head, Boton looked bemusedly at Kurama, and I started to scold them...
"You know Sess, I expect this from everyone here except you and Kurama, and who are the most avid..." I was interrupted by Sango yelling through the door,
"Will somebody open this thing?! We don't have any hands here!"
WHOOSH Suddenly the door was open and there was Inuyasha grinning down at Kikyo. I rolled my eyes and went to help them with the stuff, but before I'd gotten two steps Kagura was at the door, and of course the sight of so many girls in pajamas had rendered the guys pretty much useless. So I had to take charge before this deteriorated into chaos.
Boton, show Kagura and Kikyo what to do with their stuff. Yukina, Sango you put the food over there on the mini fridge. "You guys," I said, looking at them sternly "need, to sit down and get on with your tournament, rather than obstruct the flow of traffic, stare, and breathe down our necks."
By the time I was done with my little rant, the girls had all come back. It was only then that I had the time to notice Kagura and Kikyo's pajamas. Kagura had on a long black silk robe and Kikyo had a red silk pajama set. Then I took a look at the group as a whole and decided we looked pretty hot and I couldn't really blame the guys for their reactions. I'd have to apologize to them later though, cuz it was definitely time to get down to business. I looked at my watch. It was only a little after 9:00.
"Hmm, what do you think girls, should load up on junk food and we do our thing for an hour then order pizza?"
A chorus of affirmative answers met my question. So we proceeded to our room. I picked up a fingernail file and started filing away at Kagura's nails, while Kikyo applied a face mask to Sango, and Yukina and Boton did their toes.
There was silence for a while, then I broke it by saying, "Well this is a sleep over. Shouldn't we be dishing about guys..."
"It's true," Kikyo said, "Proper sleep-over etiquette and all."
At this point, in the common room the guys stopped what they were doing.
Miroku said, "Did anyone else hear that?"
"Yeah, where's it coming from?" Yusuke asked.
"Shh," said Sess, and then all the guys heard a girl's voice and traced it to a vent in the bathroom that must connect to the girls' room. Soon every guy was scrunched in the small space just in time to hear Boton say...
"Well," Boton said, "I think it's obvious that I like Kurama."
"And every girl here can see why. Those eyes are just beyond belief." I said
"And that hair...oh my god it's gorgeous." interjected Kikyo.
"Yeah, I wonder what he uses on it." said Sango
Boton replied, "He just uses regular shampoo, his hair is a natural phenomenon."
"And his hair and eyes aren't the only thing he's got going for him," said Yukina, "Part of his attraction is his attitude. He's obviously oblivious to his good looks and for some reason that's attractive."
"Not only that but he's polite and respectful! Not like some of the bakas around here." Sango said.
"And he has this way of making you feel like you're the only thing that matters to him at that particular moment." Boton sighed
"And doesn't the way he's so quiet make you want to be the one to make him scream?" I asked grinning wickedly.
"Kagome!" Sango said as she hit me with a pillow.
"What! I was just saying what everyone was thinking."
"That's true." a couple of the girls admitted.
Back in the bathroom Kurama is staring at the vent in shock. He had no idea that the girls thought of him like that. Of course he was kind of huddled in a corner to escape from the various death glares being directed at him. The next statement caused everyone's attention to snap back to the vent in shock.
"Sooo, while we're on the subject Boton, what kind of underwear does Kurama wear?" sweet, innocent, little Yukina asked.
"What! I'm not going to tell you that!" Boton said indignantly.
"Ah...so she knows, she's just not telling. How about if we manage to guess it, then you confirm??" I asked
"I guess there's no harm in that," Boton said reluctantly.
"All right," said Kagura, "Hmm...green briefs???" she asked.
"No I don't think so," I interjected, "Boxers are so much more about comfort. I say cotton boxers...what color though..."
"Red," piped in Sango, "That color just suits him."
"Well, Boton? Ante up, are we right or not?"
"Bravo, you guys are good at this game."
In the bathroom, Kurama stared at the vent, "How'd they know?" He asked vaguely astonished.
Back in the room, Kagura started laughing. "Guys, I got an idea, you have to promise not to laugh."
"All right, all right," we all said, "Just tell us already."
"You guys have all heard of edible underwear, right?"
"Right." We said cautiously.
"Well what flavor would Kurama be?"
"Hmm, I think of Kurama as a combination of flavors, something fresh and sweet with just a little tang, so I'd have to say Kurama is...strawberries and spearmint." Kikyo put out there.
"I would totally agree with that." Boton said
"Yeah that is pretty good."
"I certainly can't come up with anything better."
In the bathroom the guys were all just sitting there. 'Edible underwear,' was the unanimous thought, 'how'd they come up with that?' When someone finally spoke, it was to say, "You know, I'm beginning to think the girls are worse than us." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"All right, Yukina it's your turn."
"Well obviously I like Kuwabara."
"Yes but WHY?" I asked in mystification.
"Well, okay so he's not the brightest crayon in the box, but he's sweet, and kind, he protects me, he's honorable, and he likes animals."
I shrugged "Well to each her own I guess," then I shuddered, "As much as I hate to say this, what kind of underwear?"
Boton piped up, "I think I've got this one, pink cotton boxers with kitties on them." She looked to Yukina for confirmation and she nodded, "And for a flavor I'd have to say Kuwabara's pure vanilla."
"Agreed." Everyone chorused.
"All right Kagura," I said, "It's your turn, who do you like?"
In the bathroom Sess listened intently.
Kagura blushes, "Well, I kind of like Sesshoumaru. A lot."
"Well what are you going to do about it girl?"
"Nothing, I don't think he likes me back."
"Trust me girl. You've got nothing to worry about."
Kagura looked at me questioningly and I nodded.
"All right. I guess I'll ask him to the movies or something sometime."
"Great! Now on to the business of flavor and underwear...Any suggestions."
"Ermm...he looks like the type for black silk boxers, dark and luxurious ooo and dark chocolate for the flavor."
"I don't know," I said, "He wears way too much white to wear black underwear. I would say gold, but that's too gaudy....my final vote is on white silk boxers."
"Also, dark chocolate is too bitter for Sesshoumaru," Kagura put in, "He is definitely sweet enough deep down to rate caramel."
Again everyone chorused "Agreed."
"All right Sango's turn."
"I guess if I had to pick someone I'd pick the pervert."
grin 'This is going to be easier than I thought to get them together.' I thought. Then I looked around. "Well any suggestions"
"This is a hard one."
"Everyone nodded."
"All right, let's break down his personality, for the flavor. What is his first impression on people."
"Well," said Sango, "He comes off as really nice and polite at first, until he hits you with his pervertedness." rolls eyes "His pervertedness might even be hot if he'd just focus it on one girl when they're in private."
"Hmm," I said taking a chip, then I got all excited, "Nacho cheese, guys. It's cool at first but then it works up to a slow burn."
Sango mused, "I don't think that's quite right...but it'll do for now. As for the underwear, purple just seems right for him."
"Well, purple is decadent, just like him...hmm style...Miroku's bikini's all the way."
"Satin. I say satin's a good fabric for Miroku. So we have purple satin bikini underwear. Anyone object?"
There was silence.
"All right then. Kikyo it's your turn."
"I like Inuyasha," she said unabashed, "And I say he definitely goes without."
"Yeah," most of the girls agreed he was the type to go commando.
"He's definitely cinnamon and sugar. Spicy and sweet at the same time."
"He does have the temper and the attitude with that core of gruff softness." Kikyo said.
"All in favor?"
"AYE!!"
"All right Kagome. It's your turn."
"I really don't like anyone??"
All the girls glared.
"Fine, fine. I guess Hiei's hot."
All the girls just stared.
"What!?!"
"Jeez," Kagura said, "I thought I went for the unattainable ones, but you've got me beat."
All the girls nodded, and in the bathroom the guys were doing the same, except for Sesshoumaru and Kurama, who were having the unanimous thought that if anyone could do it, Kagome could.
"Fine." I said pouting, "you're the ones who made me pick someone. And I say black cotton boxers, and he's definitely those little red candies...what are they called...I think its red hots.
All the girls shrugged, "We don't know him well enough to dispute you, but he's always seemed kind of cold to us."
"Oh, trust me, he's hot!"
Everyone looked around, "We done?" someone asked.
"Technically yes, but I feel kind of bad that Yusuke got left out. I think I've got it too."
"Well do tell."
"His flavor is root beer and his underwear are purple and green plaid flannel boxers."
Everyone stared.
"You know that fits..." Yukina said.
"Okay we agree."
I looked at my watch. "Ugh guys it's definitely time to order pizza. I'll go tell the guys..."
In the bathroom all the guy's eyes get wide and they start to scramble for the door leaping over each other and stepping on fingers....
