InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Camp Nightmare ❯ Camp Spirit ( Chapter 2 )

Camp Nightmare

Written by: Tai-Chee

"I can't feel my legs." The breathless boy said, his bag slumping to the ground. His name was Miroku Houshi, monk in training. Like everyone else he was from Tokyo, his senior year coming up. He had only a father, who had influenced him with the power of Buddha. Inuyasha Dai was a hanyou, the one who had sat at the back with her. Sango Taijiya was the other female that had to endure the constant groping from a certain monk, and Kouga Ookami was the third guy that she had yet to speak with.

"You're too fucking lazy, you damn monk." Inuyasha snapped at Miroku, wanting to get to the camp as soon s possible.

"Someone's in a bad mood." Miroku said to no one but himself, picking his bag up again and following the rest of the group. It was only a few more minutes of silence when they caught sight of the camp. They were right-it was practically in the middle of nowhere. From first glance, it seemed completely deserted-like a ghost camp. They were nearing one of the few buildings when a woman stepped out, clad in the camp wear.

She had long black hair tied at the back by a red ribbon and had strict grey eyes. Her face was quite pale and she seemed a little on the scary side. If they were to guess her age they would estimate around 24-25. She didn't bother to give them a smile or barely a greeting.

"Are you the counselors?" She asked, not bothering to beat around the bush.

"Why else would we be here?" Inuyasha snapped back at her, meeting her intense gaze,

"Aren't you just a cheeky one." She said before turning around and beckoning for them to follow. "The kids will be here shortly, but that's nothing to worry about. I'll show you your cabin and get you your uniforms and then the kids will be here." She continued to walk, explaining almost everything that they needed to know about the camp. The cabin that they were heading towards began to get larger as they approached.

"And this," She said pushing the door open. "Is your cabin." All of the teens followed the woman inside, almost wondering if it was supposed to be for a camp such as this. The cabin was equipped with 6 bunk beds, a TV, stereo, and its own little kitchen. Off to the right at the back was a tiny door leading to a bathroom.

"Now get yourselves ready and unpacked." She said before lifting up a box off to the side and handing it to Miroku. "These are your camp shirts, and I hope that you find one that fits. She left the five of them to sort out their own issues and headed for the main building, needing to prepare for the arrival of the children.

On the far end on the cabin, Kagome sat down on the lower bunk, deciding that it was worthy for her.

"I call this one!" She said loudly, making everyone look at her. The rest of them looked at one another before following suit, grabbing the bunk to their liking. In the end Sango had gotten the one above her, Miroku had gotten the one adjacent to Kagome, Inuyasha on top, and Kouga alone on the top of the third row. Kagome picked up her bag and slid it under her bed, not wanting to trip over it too suddenly.

"Check these out!" Miroku said as he extracted a shirt from the box, tossing it at Inuyasha. He caught it easily and looked at it before tossing it on his bed. Miroku tossed one at Kouga, Kagome and Sango, while grabbing himself one. Inuyasha slid his shirt off, revealing a hard stomach and a toned chest. Kagome watched him from the corner of her eye as she put it hers on.

The shirts were white with a pink ball in the center, while the words `Camp Shikon' surrounding it. Kouga had planted himself on the couch and turned on the television, flipping through the limited channels. Miroku and Inuyasha were sorting through the CDs that were stacked around the stereo and Sango and Kagome were sitting on their beds, talking about anything that came to mind.

"All right, the kids are just making their way down here, and I need to get you guys into group leaders. We're going for male and female, keeping it Uni." She said before looking at each of them. "There are three `tribes' responsible for the kids; wind, water, and fire. I have you all split up and your groups are-" She looked down at the clip board in her hands before reading the names out.

"Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha and Kagome, and Kouga-you will be paired up with my goddaughter since our last counselor couldn't make it. Sango, you and Miroku are in charge of wind, Inuyasha and Kagome, you're responsible for water, and Kouga, you and my goddaughter are responsible for fire."

Kagome gave Inuyasha a sideways glance before focussing her attention back on the woman.

"And now to lay down some ground rules." Her voice turned a little more stern and straight forward. "I don't want any funny business or you'll have to face the consequences. Don't do anything inappropriate and try not to scare the young ones. I don't care how loud you are, or how late you stay up in your cabin, just be ready at the mess hall to pick the kids up." The five of them nodded, showing her that they understood.

"I'll be back in a second, I can see the young ones coming." She said before jogging off to the path that they had originally taken to arrive at the camp. Miroku walked over to Sango and lazily put an arm around her shoulders.

"Looks like you and me are partners." He said with a slight smile. She brushed his hand off of her as if it were contaminated.

"Don't touch me." She said, stepping away from him, crossing her arms.

"If that is what you desire my lady, then it is my duty to fulfill it." He said, smiling at her widely.

"I pity you." Kagome whispered to the girl as she leaned over. Sango scoffed and looked back at the lecher who had started to examine his right hand.

"Yeah, I pity me too." Kagome let out a short giggle before she saw Kikyou coming back followed by a fair group of children chattering happily after her.

"Now these people over here," Kikyou said pointing at the teens. "Are your counselors!" Some of the kids cheered, the others ones just continued ignoring the woman. Immediately she started to sort out the kids, telling them to stand in a designated spot depending on which tribe they belonged to. It didn't take long to sort through the mass of short children, and Kikyou began to speak again, only to the counselors.

"The kids cabin's are located at the other end of the camp, by the mess hall." Kikyou pointed in the direction where faint dots stood out inside the trees. "So drop them off and then I'll stop by to have a few words with them." Once again, she left them all to head back to her cabin. "Oh and Kouga, your partner will be around shortly."

"All right." He said to no one but himself. They stood there for a second before Miroku started to get dangerously close to Sango. She noticed this and decided that it was time to leave.

"Okay kids! The wind tribe is with me and Miroku, so let's go!" She said enthusiastically pointing over to the cabins. The kids cheered and followed them.

"We'd better go too, water tribe with me!" Kagome said waiting for the kids to start walking.

"Let's go midgets." Kouga said grouchily as he started for the cabins, with or without the kids following him.

Sango and Miroku were the first to arrive at their cabin, going into the one with the large wind symbol posted onto the door. The first thought when they walked in was crap. It wasn't nearly as nice as the counselors and the only furniture that they spotted were the old metal bunks that were piled in throughout the enclosed space. The room gave off a musty odor and the floor creaked as they walked across them.

"Call a bunk and get settled in!" Sango called to the little kids who were looking at the cabin with awe and satisfaction. The kids trampled in, shoving past one another to get a spot to their liking. When all the shrieks of `mine!' and `not it's mine!' died down, Sango decided that it was best to head back.

"All right Miroku, let's go back to the cabin." She said as she exited, Miroku in tow.

The kids were doing pretty well; they had found their own bunks and were socializing quietly to one another. He was getting quite bored, not caring if his `partner' showed up or not-it didn't matter. He sighed and let his azure eyes wander around the room looking for something to hold his attention. He gazed out the dirty windows, watching a furious Kagome and Inuyasha arguing in front of the cabins. He smirked at the two of them, knowing that they both were in hell.

He ran his hand over his sleek black hair, needing to get out of this place.

"You kids all right on your own for a while?" He asked, none paying attention to him. He grunted and then turned towards the door. He opened it, only to have a girl fall forward, as if she was trying to get in on the other side of the door. His hands shot out and steadied her so she wasn't about to fall. She raised her head and surprised emerald eyes bore into his own. They were sparkling with mischief and mayhem, just about as much to be compared to his own. Messy auburn hair flowed down her back and a few stray strands poked out over her eyes. By her scent he could tell that she was like him-a wolf youkai.

"Um…sorry." She said quietly.

"It's okay." He said with a slight smirk, admiring her eyes with wonder. "You must be my partner to deal with these brats." She looked over his shoulder and then gave him a slight smile, showing him her fangs.

"I guess so-the name's Ayame. I'm also the cook for this place." She said giving a slight chuckle.

"Nice to meet you Ayame." He said, returning the smile faintly. "I'm Kouga, Kouga Ookami." He extended his hand for her to shake.

"Pleasure." She said taking his hand and shaking it slightly. They attention was directed elsewhere when a large shriek erupted from the squabbling two.

"YOU JERK!" Kagome shrieked as she turned around and started to stomp off. Her face was red from anger and her hands were clenched tightly at her sides as she stomped away. Inuyasha smirked triumphantly as he followed her, not getting in too close to the angry woman.

Ayame turned back to Kouga and gave him a questioning look.

"Don't ask." He said, letting out a short and soft chuckle. She let a smirk cross her face as she responded in a low voice.

"Too late." He watched her eyes twinkle as they looked into his own, knowing that he was practically mimicking her every movement. She was like his mirror image-the female version of him. She was perfect.

Kagome burst through the door just as Sango had flipped on the stereo system. `Whatever you want' by Christina Millian feat. Joe Budden came on, and immediately Kagome's bad mood that she had been in disappeared as quickly as it had came. A smile crossed her features as she joined Sango at the stereo, only she reached for the volume knob and cranked it up, blasting the music throughout the cabin.

"I love this song!" She exclaimed as the music started to take over and she started to dance a bit. Sango laughed at her as she watched her newfound friend make a complete fool of herself dancing right there, even though she wasn't half bad.

"I bet you do." Sango said before joining in. Miroku watched the two with amused eyes, tapping his foot to the beat.

A/N: Hey again, I'm sorry that this is so short, but I have my reasons. If you are all upset about my deleting of the chapters, I'm extremely sorry. It's just that as I was rewriting my horrible chapters I came to notice a few things that I should add in and take out. But in doing so, the other chapters don't correspond with them. So in order to actually succeed with the rewriting of the chapters, I need to add and delete some of the things in my later chapters. I'm really sorry, but I am working on this right now so I will try and get them up faster! Goodbye until later!
