Suboushi: *to others over his shoulder* There, I thinks that�s got it. (HE moves away, revealing Genki seated in a chair, cowering before the wrath of the Almighty Trin.)
Trin: And FURTHERMORE, you should know better than to push buttons if you don�t know what they do! So from now on . . . (Leans over, right in Genki�s face.) . . . YOU NO PUSH-A THE BUTTONS! We clear?
Genki: O.o; *gulp* H-Hai . . . . *noddity nod nod*
Trin: Good.
Spike: And now, the matter of what we�re going to do . . . . Anyone? Thoughts? Suggestions? (Clamorous commotion ensues.)
WW: House party!
Nuriko: Sleepover! Sleepover!
Genki: Let�s repaint the bus in PLAID! (Dead silence. Everyone turns to stare at Genki.)
IY: *incredulously* PLAID?
Genki: ^_^; Eh heh heh . . . it seemed like a good idea at the time . . . .
Tani: Manhunt!
Tasuki: Purity test!
IY: Nah, that wouldn�t work. You�d win.
Tasuki: -.-* Grrrr . . . *Glare Of Death*
Neko: Anime movie marathon!
Jesse: We did that last weekend.
Shippou: *timidly* Hide-and-Seek?
All: No! (Shippou runs away.)
Joyita: Charades!
K-Chan: Mad Libs!
Trin: Pizza!
Tash: Let�s do the Woonie! (Everyone stares.) [AN: The Woonie is a Pocono Plateau Music Camp tradition on Bonfire Night. It�s supposed to be a rain dance, but it never works, so it�s an ANTI-rain dance.]
Jukai: Spin the Bottle! *DEAD silence*
All: Eeeeeeew!
Sano: How about what I said before? (Everyone pauses to listen to Sano.) You know, whistling in the dark? (Much confused muttering.)
Nyan-Nyan: (who is suddenly, and without explanation, present) What a lovely idea!
Sano: (forgets all about the song) Nyan-Nyan! You�re back! (Gives Nyan-Nyan a big hug.)
Nyan-Nyan: (returns the hug; giggles) Hai! And I brought a friend! (Turns.) Come on out. (Beckons.) She says she�s looking for . . . who was it again?
{Cuteness level: Cute and holding steady.}
Rin: (steps forward) Sesshoumaru-sama. Has anyone seen my Sesshoumaru-sama?
{Cuteness level: Very cute and rising.}
Neko: Nihao, Rin-chan! (Much hugging of the Rin-chan.)
{Cuteness level: Extremely cute.}
Rin: You must be Neko-san. Sesshoumaru-sama told me about you.
{Cuteness level: Bordering on adorable.}
Neko: Did he? (Raises eyebrows; looks at Rin over the tops of her glasses.) What did he tell you?
Rin: (smiles sweetly) That you�re completely insane and if I ever saw you I was to run like hell.
Neko: O.o*** N-Nani . . . . *twitch twitch* Nandatte?!
Rin: But you seem pretty nice to me! (More sweet smiling.)
{Cuteness level: Adorable.}
Neko: *grumble grumble* When Fluffy wakes up, I�m going to DAMAGE him! (Storms off.)
Rin: Does anyone know where Sesshoumaru-sama is?
Tani: "Sesshoumaru"? Oh, you must mean Fluffy.
Rin: *disbelief* "Fluffy"? *beat* Wai, that�s so pretty! Fluffy-Fluffy-Fluffy-sama! (Does a happy little dance.)
{Cuteness level: Precious and still rising.}
K-Chan: I�ll go see if he�s conscious yet. (Heads toward stage.)
Shippou: (returning from the elsewhere he ran off to) Oi, aren�t you Sesshoumaru�s little girl?
Rin: Hai! And you�re Inuyasha-san�s baby kitsune friend!
Shippou: Rin-chan!
Rin: Shippou-chan! (The two hug, giggling happily.)
Nyan-Nyan: It�s Official Spontaneous Hug Day again! (Joins the hugfest.)
{Cuteness level: Unbearably kawaii and rising steadily.}
[Meanwhile, on the stage . . . . ]
(K-Chan is untying a semi-conscious Fluffy, who is bound to be in a rotten mood when he�s fully awake.)
K-Chan: Oi, Fluffy-san. Get up. You�ve got a visitor.
Fluffy: (remains listless for a few seconds; suddenly his eyes snap open. They are blood-red.) Grrrr . . . . *low menacing growl* (He begins to wriggle free of the ropes and pulls the duct tape off his mouth.)
K-Chan: O.O; Uh-oh . . . .
Fluffy: *scary battle aura and random lightning* Free . . . .
K-Chan: Um, Neko . . . . *point point*
Neko: O.O; Oh dear . . . .
Fluffy: *maniacal laughter* Nyahahahahahaaa! (Lightning strikes.)
Neko: *a la Poison Ivy* Angry Fluffy. Not good!
Fluffy: Arigatou, K-Chan, for releasing me. Perhaps I�ll give you a running start.
K-Chan: O.O;;;; Eep . . . .
Fluffy: As for the rest of you . . . (green smoke coalesces around his fingertips) . . . you can die now. (Leaps into the air with that classic icy stoic grace he�s so darned good at. He does that cool knuckles cracking thing and is about to start messily dispatching the entire cast when . . . . )
Rin: (steps out of the crowd and holds her arms out) *happily* Sesshoumaru-sama! (Fluffy tries to halt his attack in midair; it doesn�t work too well and he ends up tumbling rather ungracefully to the floor.)
Fluffy: Ite-te-te-te-te . . . . why me . . . . .
Rin: (runs up and hugs him around the neck) Ohayou, Sesshoumaru-sama! I found you! *hug hug squeeze*
{Cuteness level: Nauseating.}
(The cast looks decidedly . . . well, nauseated.)
Shippou: (turns slightly green) I don�t feel so good . . . .
Saja: *to Director/Editor* Do something quick before we all toss our cookies! (A magic wand is waved.)
{Cuteness level: Drops slightly.}
(Enough sighs of relief to turn a hurricane off course.)
Rin: *to Fluffy* Now I�ll hide and you come find me! *long ominous pause*
IY: Wait, wait a minute. Let me get this straight . . . .
Nuriko: Watch how you use that word, Dog Boy.
IY: *odd glance* Yeah . . . . *to Fluffy* So, correct me if I�m wrong here, but . . . were you . . . playing . . . Hide-and-Seek?
Fluffy: *quickly; emphatically* Iie.
Rin: *all smiles* Hai!
K-Chan: Aw, how cute!
Kouga: Ugh, somebody get me a bucket. I feel I�m going to be violently ill.
K-Chan: *smack* Shaddup.
IY: *derisively* Hide-and-Seek, brother? Aren�t you getting a little old for those kinds of games? And with a human child, no less. (He�s having WAY too much fun with this.)
Fluffy: (looks decidedly pissed) Drop dead, runt.
Rin: *booboo face* Demo . . . Sesshoumaru-sama . . . I thought . . . we were having fun . . . weren�t we? *lip quiver*
Fluffy: Rin . . . don�t look at me like that!
Rin: *more lip quiver* Weren�t we? (Several other cast members start getting misty-eyed.)
Fluffy: *rather more harshly than he means it* Damnit, Rin! Stop that! (Rin bursts into tears and runs to Shippou and Nyan-Nyan. Several other cast members start giving Fluffy the Evil Eye.)
Shippou: (gets that I-want-to-damage-the-Fluffy look in his eye) Teme . . . .
Fluffy: Somebody end this episode before I die of embarrassment.
