I pulled and pulled my hand away from Sesshoumaru's because I just knew that if I wished hard enough and thought about what I wanted most, I would be able to break through the metal.

Kind of like that one chick in that movie with the red sparkly shoes and the cute dog that has a band named after it.

"Kagome, if you keep pulling like that you'll break your wrist." I looked up to Sesshoumaru who had calmed down finally.

"Fine. I say we get dressed and go find InuYasha. I sense he is the mastermind behind all of this." I climbed to the edge of the bed and fell down, my arm up in the air, still attached to the bloody handcuffs. "Let me get dressed!"

"You can't, dummy. We're kind of connected here." He shook his hand for emphasis and moved to my end of the bed. "We'll just have to wrap towels around us or something."

"Or… We could just go naked!"

I pulled him as hard as I could and dragged him out the door, ignoring his swearing and his protests as I ran down the hotel hall way yelling out InuYasha's name.

"INUYASHA! Get your old ass out here NOW!" A family stared at us in horror, covering the eyes of their young children while their teenaged son looked at us-I mean, Sesshoumaru- with interest.

"Kagome you are embarrassing!" He yanked at my hand and slowed me down. Lucky for both of us, I guess, InuYasha appeared from a door looking at us with laughter in his eyes.

"Hello newlyweds!" We both looked to him and glared. "It's a joke, gosh. You two don't have to be so upset. The marriage was not binding because you had no real preacher and you both passed out last night before you could even touch each other. I did this fine handiwork", he added, pointing to our handcuffs.

"It isn't funny, InuYasha. Unlock the cuffs, now." Sesshoumaru looked so cool when he demanded things of people. I swooned internally.

InuYasha laughed and pulled out a small key, unlocking the handcuffs.

"It was funny for me at least. You two have some clothes in the room, so go back and get dressed and stop embarrassing everyone. Although, Sesshoumaru, you're looking pretty good…" InuYasha licked his lips and winked at his brother who growled in return before dragging me back to the room.

The handcuffs were thrown into the trash can as soon as we made it back inside and Sesshoumaru threw my clothes at me and walked into the bathroom to change.

"Thanks, I think…" I put my clothes on and sighed, walking to the little coffee table in the room. I picked up an advertisement and read the English words.

'You are invited to take advantage of the chambermaid.'

My eyes widened and I burst out laughing. Sesshoumaru responded quickly by storming out of the bathroom.

"What is it, Kagome?"

"Apparently we can take advantage of their chambermaid." I continued laughing, stuffing the advertisement into my pocket. "That's a keeper."

"Kagome, you need to grow up."

"I am grown up!" I walked to him and stood on my toes. "I'm almost as tall as you, too! So stop trying to tell me what to do!" I stuck my tongue out at him. He rolled his eyes and pushed me down. "Hey! Meanie."

"We need to get going. I'm sure our stay is almost up in this hotel." I nodded and agreed to leave because I honestly was afraid that by being alone in the room with Sesshoumaru, he may try something on me.

-XOXO-

I sighed to myself as we walked down the street, heading towards the car garage where InuYasha's car was parked. It had been a long night and a long morning that I really hoped I would never have to repeat.

My eyes roamed the bland scenery and stopped at the sight of a handsome man. I stopped walking. "He is hot…" Sesshoumaru looked at the man I was talking about.

"No, Kagome. We're going home before any more marriages occur."

"Yeah, Kagome. Besides", chirped InuYasha, "you and Sesshoumaru believe in monogamy."

I looked at InuYasha. "We believe in wood?" I started laughing. "InuYasha, you're an idiot!"

"Kagome, monogamy is the practice of having only one partner in a relationship." Sesshoumaru sounded agitated.

"No it isn't! Monogamy is that wood… the one kind… Uhh…"

"You mean mahogany wood." Sesshoumaru hit his forehead. "This is why I won't marry you."

I stared at him. "You won't…?" My eyes started to water subconsciously.

I had to remind myself not to cry. We were never dating or anything.

"Huh? Of course... not…" He stared almost in horror at a single tear that made its way down my cheek. He had hurt my feelings for some strange reason I couldn't explain.

"Then have a nice life." I ran away from them, tired of being confused all the time. Before I had gone to that house I was sure of whom I was. I was hilarious and idiotic and I didn't care what anyone else thought.

So why did I care now? Where had my humor gone?

-XOXO-

I had managed to salvage a lot of the money I had won, so I was able to get around town. I actually had a lot of the money with me in my wallet. I could buy a house in cash right now if I wanted to.

But I didn't. I just wanted to go back to my old box by the subway where I was accepted as I was and I didn't have to be confused. I knew I was hopeless when I was there.

I decided to waste some of the money I had to get back to the way I had once been. I walked into a random store and looked around.

"Could I buy some spiders please?" I smiled at the lady and put down a hundred dollars.

"You want spiders for that amount?" I nodded. She pulled out a huge plastic case filled with spiders and handed it to me. "There you go, I suppose."

I hugged her and ran out the door. I was getting back to my old ways!

I was able to find a new box that I set up by a shop on the side walk. I set down my spiders and put my hands around my mouth in order to project my voice.

"SPIDER FIGHTS! COME WATCH SOME FREE SPIDER FIGHTS TO THE DEATH!" Even though it sounded ridiculous, people came gliding (Hehehe) over to watch some deadly spider action.

I picked up to big spiders and put them on the ground.

"Hey, spider. You see the spider in front of you? Yeah, he slept with your wife… those eggs she had the other day? Yeah those were HIS! NOW KILL HIM!" I pushed them together and watched them struggle to pull apart, causing a fight to erupt.

People gathered around and stared. Some laughed at the action, some cheered it on.

But it was all stopped when a foot came crashing down on the spiders, killing them instantly.

"WHAT?! WHO DID THAT!" I looked up at the tall silver haired man.

"Hello Kagome."

I stood up quickly. "Sesshoumaru…" He stared at me intensely. "How did you find me?"

"It wasn't that hard. I just followed the screaming voices saying 'jerry! Jerry!' and there you were doing something ridiculous."

I glared at him. "You always insult me! I never do anything right in your eyes!" I stomped my foot in anger.

"Kagome, I said it was ridiculous. You never really gave me a chance to explain my feelings about these things."

I sniffled. "Fine. I'll listen."

"Everything you do is stupid and ridiculous and you always embarrass me and you look like a fool."

"And that's why I don't listen to you!"

"Wait. I love those things. You make things fun. I haven't been bored since you came to the house, so I would love it if you would return."

I couldn't believe what he was saying. He actually wanted me around! But he wasn't getting off that easy.

"You have to give me a kiss."

He sighed and leaned in, kissing my lips softly and pulling me close to him. I responded happily and wrapped my arms around him, twisting my fingers in his hair.

When we parted, everyone started to yell. "Where are the fighting spiders?!"

I pulled away from him and grabbed the case of spiders and opened it, dropping them on to the ground. "BE FREE SPIDERS! BE FREE!" I grinned as they scattered around.

Only to see a group of birds attack, killing many of my pets.

"NOO!!!" The people tuned away, tired of my stupidity. "My spiders!"

"Kagome, you don't need spiders. Come on. Let's go home."

I looked to him. "Fine, Sesshoumaru."

-XOXO-

Sesshoumaru and I walked through the door and what I saw astounded me.

Sesshoumaru was sitting at the table reading a newspaper.

Uh, why are there two… Sesshoumaru's?" I looked to the man beside me and noticed he was wearing make up. "InuYasha, why are you disguised as Sesshou… oh my gosh, I kissed INUYASHA?!"

Sesshoumaru, the man at the table, put the paper down and stood up, grabbing me by the wrist.

"I thought I would pull a little prank on you… Just to prove how accepting I am of your silly ideas. Everything InuYasha said to you is true. That's how I really feel."

I stared at him blankly and decided to prank him.

"So you're gay and have decided to date Hojo, the man who came to pick me up a few days ago and you never want to see me again because you'll be too busy with your fiancé?"

Sesshoumaru turned to InuYasha. "You said WHAT?!"

"I said no such thing", squealed InuYasha, who was now scared for his life. Sesshoumaru pounced on him and grabbed his shirt, shaking him.

"How dare you slander my name!"

I laughed and kneeled beside them. "I'm so glad to be home!" I leaned down and hugged Sesshoumaru who instantly stopped being violent and looked at me. "I love you Sesshoumaru!"

He stared at me. I swear I saw a small smile escape his lips, but it was probably my imagination.

"I'm glad you're here, Kagome", whispered Sesshoumaru.

"It's all because of a bottle cap", I responded, throwing my arms around him.

"Bottle caps, huh…" He looked into my eyes. "Whoever invented that contest should get a raise." He leaned back and pulled me over him and kissed my lips, but this time it was full of passion.

"A little help, please", said InuYasha, but no one heard him.

The end of this story that took forever to write! This is a crappy ending, but I was gone from this story for so long, I feel like I can be forgiven for that… Hahaha… Maybe… Don't hate me! I am glad this is over because I have other ideas and stuff I want to get started at. My writing is different now, so it was hard for me to go back to writing a comedy. So this is less funny than the rest, but I'm sure it can still be appreciated it. I hope…

I love you all for reading, so thank you! I wish I could have done a better job on this and I am sorry for my… infrequent updates. Thank you so much, again!
