The gang was sound asleep, Joey's snores filling the cabin when the plane began to land. It was early morning in the Lone Star State, around 1 am. Yugi rubbed his eyes wearily, and looked down at the airport. It was huge, with many planes all around them on the runway. The building was lit up brightly as the plane stopped at the terminal.

"Just how long are you geeks going to stay here, anyway?" Kaiba muttered as everyone sleepily stood up, grabbing their belongings from the overhead compartments, while the crew members took out their weapons and Duel Discs from the cargo hold.

"For a few weeks," Kairi yawned. "You should stay here, too, Kaiba. It'll do you some good to get away from the company." Kaiba scoffed, and patted his laptop, which was at his side, slung over his shoulder. Kairi sighed, and made her way out of the plane, the others in front of her.

-Limo-

The Protectors looked all around the landscape around them. Cars were all around them on the highway, street lamps lit brightly. In pastures, horses and cattle grazed peacefully as they passed. Yugi rested his head on Atem's lap, who was already sleeping against the seat. He opened one eye to see his hikari sleeping on his lap. He smiled before drifting off to sleep once more. Kairi looked out the window at her home state, a hotel looming over them in the distance. A theme park, Six Flags, was abandoned until the afternoon or morning. The limo stopped, and the Protectors got out of the vehicle, still exhausted. When Kaiba bought the hotel rooms, they all crowded into the elevator, people staring at Alphonse and his current state. Shippo rested quietly in Kagome's arms, purring softly like a cat. Soon, they all got their rooms, right next to each other. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo shared a room, as did Ed and Al, Chihiro and Haku shared a room, Yugi and Atem stayed together, Joey and Cloud stayed together, and Kairi, Brian, and Kaiba got rooms by themselves. Kaiba needed privacy for his company, while Kairi and Brian just needed to be alone until morning. Then, they would get rooms with someone else. As everyone drifted off to sleep once more, Kairi looked out the window as the streets lined with late workers and drunkards speeding off in different directions. She closed her sapphire eyes, resting her head onto the soft pillow.

"I'm home," she whispered softly to the darkness.

-Inuyasha's Room-

A shadow moved swiftly across the wall, a pair of glowing golden eyes along with the silhouette. It stopped suddenly as Inuyasha turned in his sleep, mumbling something about Ramen Noodles. The shadow relaxed, moving towards the half-demon, pulling out something. It chuckled softly, and dispersed into nothing, Inuyasha growling darkly. Was it in his sleep, or was it something else?

What will happen as the Protectors awaken on their first day on vacation? What happened to Inuyasha? Find out in chapter four!
