Day 8 – The Cruise
Well, with only having been told 6 hours before, about going away for a week, Inuyasha spent that time trying to get everything he needed for a week. Clothes, shoes, and any other strange things might needed for this trip.
Kagome, on the other hand, was ready about a day in advance, having had some insight from Sango. She sat patiently at 6:30 in the morning on the couch half asleep waiting for Inuyasha to finish. "Hurry up! Sango will be here any minute!" She called to the rushing hanyou in the back room.
"SHUT UP!" Was his response.
"He's running around like my brother in a toy store on a sale day…" Kagome mumbled to herself. What's next? Inuyasha then appeared with several bags slung over his shoulders and managing one in his mouth. Kagome attempted to stifle a laugh. "Well… what? Are you, finally ready to go?" She asked with a smile on her face. Honestly, he looked like a dog with a bone in his mouth.
"Etch juscsht 'et outta 'ere!" Inuyasha grumbled out, walking to the front door and dropping the bags down. "Are you coming, wench?" He yelled back.
"What about breakfast?" Kagome asked standing up. "Don't you want to eat?"
-CODE RED!-
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE YELLING AT ME TO HURRY UP CAUSE SANGO WOULD BE HERE IN A FEW MINUTES, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME WE HAVE TIME TO EAT BREAKFAST?! Damn, wench! Make up your mind!" The hanyou yelled throwing a fit into the kitchen. He slammed himself down onto a chair and folded his arms on the table. "Well? Where is it?"
Kagome let out a little nervous laughter. "Well, I meant… something quick… to eat on the road…" She ducked for cover behind a chair.
"WHAT?!"
"Eh heh, heh, heh…" Kagome backed away slowly and managed to escape to the living room. "Phew! I thought I was a goner there for a second…" Outside, a horn beeped. "OhlookatthatSango'sherelet'sgo!" Kagome said all in one breath and ran out the door with her bags. She decided leaving the angry hanyou behind for now… seeing as he was busy … uh… with "stuff".
"What's the hurry Kagome?" Sango asked when she saw Kagome throw her bags in the back of the limo and scurry to the other end. "I thought you wanted to savor the vacation?"
"Just go! Before he gets out here!" The girl shouted from the back of the vehicle.
"Before who-" But Sango was cut off when she heard the door slam behind her. "Good morning Inuyasha. Something wrong?"
"NOTHING." He yelled forcefully, blowing by the surprised girl and throwing his bags in just as Kagome had done, but instead, he stayed at the back end, facing Kagome. "Well, well, aren't we lively?" He asked as soon as the door closed. "You make me run around with my head cut off and wake me up before the fricking sun is up! Then you enjoy torturing me with questions that I have to THINK about! No one is supposed to think this frickin early in the MORNING! DAMMIT!" Inuyasha yelled slamming a fist on the seat.
Kagome cowered in fear in the corner on the opposite end. Note to self, NEVER! I REPEAT, NEVER PISS OFF A HANYOU IN THE MORNING! Well, it's not that I meant to… "Hey, just to let you know, I was up earlier than you. And I even thought more than you. Don't I get a little say in this?" She asked cautiously.
"NO!"
"Fine… fine. Be that way. But once we step out of this vehicle and the cameras and photographers see you act like a stubborn jerk, you'll be the laughing stock of the public. The world makes it look like everyone loves me. And they don't! In fact, you're one of the worst I've met!" Kagome explained relaxing a bit. "I'm only trying to help you, Inuyasha. I don't want to ruin your life. You can do that." She looked at Inuyasha across the seat. "Please don't be mad."
"…" Was Inuyasha's reponse and giving Kagome a cold stare in return.
Well, can't say I didn't try, Kagome thought. She sighed and clicked on the tv that suddenly appeared since the last time they were in the vehicle. Unfortunately, there was nothing on.

Upon arriving at the cruise liner, Kagome and Inuyasha looked like they were a couple (a/n: evil laughter!!!) by the way they acted around each other. If you wouldn't have known they were fighting before they arrived, you wouldn't know they half hated each other!
Luckily, they didn't get stopped very much along the way to the large ship. They were escorted around the top deck, getting a mini tour of the place. "Here's the pool area…here's the dining area…" blah blah and so on and so forth.
Kagome leaned closer to Inuyasha when their "guide" wasn't looking and whispered, "This is boring…"
"Talk about it…" He whispered back.
Now, according to Inuyasha, this is what the following conversation sounded like: "Blah blahdee blah. Blur blah blah blah blah… blah blah blah KOGA blah blah."
KOGA?! "WHAT?!"
"Inuyasha, weren't you listening?" Kagome whispered, nudging him in the side. "Koga's the captain!"
…!!!!! Uh oh! Red flag! MENTAL LOCKDOWN!
"Koga… captain of a cruise liner?! With ME on it?! This isn't happening!" Inuyasha was now beginning to panic.
"Inuyasha relax!" Kagome said trying to keep the hanyou calm. "He's captain! Don't worry… we won't see him-"
"Hey, Kagome!" Came a voice from behind them.
Don't turn around… pretend you didn't hear him… just don't… "Hey Koga." Kagome said dryly.
"How you doin? Coincidence seeing you here!" He cheerfully said putting an arm around Kagome's shoulder. "I'd expect you to be in good health?"
"Uh, yea!" Kagome said unsure of the situation. "But look, Koga, I've got to go unpack my bags… and uh… stuff… So I'll see you around, alright?" She asked backing away slowly.
"Alright. You take care of yourself! See you tonight!" Koga smiled and winked, then turned around and talked to one of the women crew. "So, how've you been?..."
Kagome sighed and shook her head. What a womanizer! She turned to see Inuyasha had already found his room, apparently. So she walked off to her room with her key in hand (they'd been given one upon boarding). It was somewhere on the first floor, but she didn't remember. Maybe…here? She tried room E 64. Bingo! The key fit perfectly! (given it was a card key and would fit in ANY door…¬.¬) "Ah! Home away from home!"
The room was a very decent size. There was a single twin bed and a couch on the wall to her left. A dresser and recliner on the wall to her right, and on the far wall a window overlooking the ocean. Also a bathroom to her immediate left… hey, even a Jacuzzi from what she could tell.
Kagome glanced at the clock on the night-stand, 4:27. The ride here had taken longer than she'd thought. She rolled her luggage to the dresser and unpacked it fairly quickly. She wanted to get around the ship before it was over!
"There! All done!" Kagome placed her empty bags in the closet and went to the door. But the handle was turning! Was someone trying to kidnap her?!
The door swung open… "YOU!" The two said in unison.
"Damn! They did it again!" Inuyasha shouted throwing his baggage on the bed. "I'm gunna have a word with Sango when we get back…"
"Well, at least there's a couch this time." Kagome added for support.
… Both stared at each other.
"I get the bed!" They said in unison again.
Oh no…
"I am not taking the couch." Inuyasha said quickly after the "bed" incident.
"Well, neither am I!" Kagome replied. "Guess that leaves us with one choice…"
…Later that night…
"This doesn't get mentioned to ANYONE! Got it?" Inuyasha said turning the opposite way of Kagome.
"Fine by me!" The girl said facing the other way as well. At least today wasn't eventful. They wandered aimlessly on deck, not really doing anything. Supper wasn't very exciting either – except if you counted the 3 year old that had ran through naked… THAT was eventful… sort of… Kagome sighed and fell asleep.
Inuyasha had other thoughts, I'm positive I saw someone I used to know… she looked – very familiar. Maybe it was my imagination… but I could've sworn it was Kikyo… He shrugged and fell asleep almost instantly.
.:---:.
A/N: okee dokee! Sorry for the wait! Major computer problems… sorry again…
Uh… I don't have anything to say! Ta ta for now!
