The Tales of Inuyasha

Chapter 6: Activities That Kill

Inuyasha awoke the next morning to, miraculously, the sun rising. He jumped out of bed and woke up Miroku before the girls could come in on their usual wake-up charge. He got ready, running a comb through his hair and heading out the door by the time Miroku was just getting up. He smirked as he went into the girls' room, where he heard slight snoring coming from Sango's side of the room. He crept up to Kagome's bed, pillow in hand.

"Payback time," he whispered to himself.

"Wrongo!" yelled Kagome, sitting bolt upright and throwing her pillow at him. Sango jumped up and pummeled Inuyasha with hers, until he ran to the door, yelling,

"Alright, I give! Jesus!" Kagome and Sango did a high-five.

"I feel kinda bad, he did all that work to get up before us, and he STILL couldn't do it," said Kagome.

After breakfast, everyone was assembled in front of the flagpole. Ms. Rozier walked up to them.

"I hope you guys know who your partner is, because we're now dividing you up into groups, where you will go to separate activities, and during those activities, your partner will be the ONLY person you're working with! So get to it!" she announced loudly.

She pulled out some sheets of paper, reading:

"Okay, I want the following pairs to get together in this group, Kagome Higurashi and Hojo Smith, Sango Arian and Kikyo Ryan, Inuyasha Steel and Koga Taylor, and Miroku Hentai and Rin Diamond." She handed a piece of paper to Kagome.

"What luck!" exclaimed Miroku as Ms. Rozier continued around, calling out other pairs to be put in groups. "Somehow we always get to be together!" Ms. Rozier eventually had finished, and made one last announcement.

"Ok, since I know you guys are old enough to be responsible, I'm going to see if you can get to your own activities by yourselves. When you reach them, the counselor will be waiting to explain what you're supposed to do. See you guys at lunch!" She walked off. Kagome pulled out the piece of paper and looked at their activities. (A/N: These are actual activities that I did at a field trip camp my school went to, except it was only a week long instead of a month -)

"Um, according to this, we're supposed to do Group Dynamics," she said, scanning the paper. "It's over near the tennis courts."

Inuyasha and Koga immediately tried to lead the way. As they were passing an information booth, Kagome grabbed a map, whispering to Sango,

"Just because men THINK they can find it doesn't mean they will." Sango giggled. After pointing out about fifteen wrong directions to the boys, and a bit of yelling, arguing, and bloody battling, they finally made it to the tennis courts, where their instructor was waiting for them.

"Hi, there, my name's Jane, and I'll be your counselor today," she said. She spoke with an Australian accent. The group introduced themselves, and their first task was to get a rope that was twisted once off of themselves while their arms were linked. They were still only allowed to work with their partners, so Hojo wound up tripping over the rope a bunch of times, while Kagome winced as he landed on her foot, Kikyo and Sango were in each other's hair, and not getting along at all. (Big surprise . . .--;)

"Let me handle this, you hermaphrodite!"

"I don't think so, slut! You step through that hole!"

"Not in these heels!"

"Well, ya shouldn't have worn HEELS in the FUCKING MOUNTAINS, you dumb bitch!"

Miroku and Rin were actually the only ones accomplishing anything. Miroku's fear of Inuyasha's big brother kept his hands off of Rin's ass. Jane marched over to Kikyo and Sango after hearing their latest name- calling rage, which had consisted of quite a few colorful words I'd rather not mention over the fact that Kikyo had fallen for the umpteenth time on her heels, tangling the rope even worse.

"Excuse me, girls, is there a problem here?" asked Jane.

Then Sango and Kikyo both launched into a bunch of excuses as to how the other one was the worst person in the universe (rather childish, I think . . .).

"Stop it! Stop it!" cried Jane. "Obviously, you two can't seem to cooperate! I don't know what is the matter with you. This activity is supposed to build teamwork skills, but you two can't even accomplish that!" She sighed heavily, glancing down at her clipboard. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to separate you two. Mr. Hentai!" she called. Miroku, who had just gotten the rope over Rin's head and off the both of them, walked over. "Would you mind trading partners with Ms. Ryan?" she asked.

"Why, no, not at all!" Miroku said cheerfully. Rin walked over, and didn't mind either that she'd be with her roommate, even if she was a little whiny. When Jane's back was turned, Miroku gave Sango an evil smile.

"We're going to have fun, Sango my love," he said darkly. Sango gulped.

"Help me," she whimpered.

Inuyasha and Koga were still tangled up when Jane blew her whistle. Thankfully for Sango, she didn't have to do the rope thing with Miroku.

"Okay, that's it for this activity! Time for the next one! In this one, you'll all be working together." She handed Rin a bunch of letters, which she laid out on the ground. The letters were:

UNWJODSROET

"Uhh, so, what do we do with them?" asked Koga. Jane smiled.

"You have to make the letters spell just one word," she said.

After close to a half an hour of arguing, rearranging, and re- rearranging, still no one had figured it out, yet Jane continued to stand there, the same plain smile on her face. She wouldn't give any more hints except that the letters spelled just one word. Kagome suddenly perked up at a small memory in her head of a riddle her Grammar teacher wrote on the board when she was in 7th grade. Squealing, she grabbed the letters away from Kikyo, who was convinced they made out something really disgusting, and she threw them down on the ground in this order:

JUST ONE WORD

Jane smiled. "Congratulations, that's correct!" she said, picking up the letters. Everyone stared at Kagome, dumfounded.

"How the hell did you do that, Kagome?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah, spill it!" said Sango. Kagome told the memory of the riddle, saying her teacher had told them to make one word out of the letters for 'new door'. The answer to the riddle was that you actually had to make the words 'one word'. Poor Hojo was still confused, but no one paid him any attention.

Three days later

The group trudged to their next class, Wilderness Skills, which was supposed to teach them how to make shelters, campfires, and survive in the wilderness if need be.

Inuyasha and Koga just wouldn't quit arguing during the whole thing. No matter what they did or said, it always ended up in an argument. Jane sighed, shaking her head.

"What is it with this group? I'm sorry, Mr. Steel and Mr. Taylor, but you two need to be separated." She called over Hojo and Kagome. "Mr. Smith, would you trade partners with Mr. Steel?" Before he even knew what was happening, he'd said yes. Kagome blushed when she realized what this meant. She'd be near Inuyasha a lot more than what she'd planned. Jane went over to see how Miroku and Sango were doing on their shelter, which Miroku had insisted on making extra comfortable in the event that there might be a certain perverted activity going on, but thankfully, before he could say what it was, Sango had bonked him on the head.

"Keep your hands off my girl, got it, puppy dog?" asked Koga. Kagome rolled her eyes at Koga.

"I'm NOT your girl," she muttered through gritted teeth. Inuyasha smiled softly at her. They went about fixing the mess that Inuyasha and Koga had created in an attempt to work together.

That night

Kagome and Sango came out of their room, wearing body warmers over their sweaters, long athletic pants, and hiking boots. They were going on a night hike, and the girls didn't want to get even the slightest chill. Sango looked in her knapsack to make sure Kirara was well hidden. She was curled up against the spare blankets that Sango had brought, also on top of the snacks.

"Now, Kirara, I've counted those snacks. If I see even ONE gone, you're gonna regret it, ok, cutie?" Kirara gave a tiny yawn in response. "I know I can count on you, girl," said Sango softly as she closed the backpack. Kagome looked confusedly at Sango's bag.

"Why are you bringing Kirara? What use will she be?" she asked.

"First off, she's a good companion to have, and second, you'll find out if it's needed," said Sango mysteriously. Shaking her head, Kagome looked away. Inuyasha and Miroku soon came out, and the group went to the flagpole, where the counselors were waiting.

"Now, you guys, we don't want anyone getting lost. We don't even know all of the trails around here, but rest assured we're only going on trails that we DO know. I want everyone to stay with their buddy at all times, (Miroku inched closer to Sango) and make sure you're always within hearing distance of us. Now, let's go!"

They headed out of the campsite onto a small trail peeking out from between the trees. The counselors were all in the front, leading the way. They trudged on for a long time, poor Sango had to keep her eyes and ears open at all times to make sure Miroku wasn't near any places he wasn't supposed to be, like behind her, reaching for her butt.

Kikyo was far ahead, with Rin struggling to keep up. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. At least she wouldn't be anywhere near him. He saw the tree root up ahead, and was about to step over it, when he heard the misjudged footsteps and the small eep as Kagome tripped on it. Moving fast, Inuyasha just barely caught her before her face made an unnecessary rendezvous with the ground.

Kagome turned around to face Inuyasha, blinking, and blushing. She straightened herself up, thanking Inuyasha as she dusted her jacket off absentmindedly.

They both heard the hiss, "Pervert!" along with the unavoidable clonk as Sango's portable mallet made contact with Miroku's hollow, empty head. She raced after him, chasing him with the mallet, and both Inuyasha and Kagome had to run after the both of them. They raced over tree logs, across bridges, around large shrubs, through groves of pines, until they were in an open field. Miroku and Sango raced around in circles, until Inuyasha and Kagome got dizzy trying to catch them, and the two collapsed from exhaustion.

Miroku raced around in one more circle, and quickly turned around, catching Sango in his arms. Half-shocked and half-embarrassed by the whole thing, Sango froze. They all stood or lay, panting, until Kagome suddenly sat up with shock.

"Where the hell are we?" she asked. Everyone jumped, realizing that they had no idea which way they'd come from. Inuyasha looked around. Not even his demon senses could tell him which way was back. They were lost.
