Hey everybody, I'm back! You're probably all scared to death, and let's
face it, I don't blame you. And now to business.

            Beecan 2- Well, you're the only one who reviewed this time.  It
was really nice of you to review.  It was really very sweet. It's fans like
you who inspire me to drag myself to my computer and perform the boring
task of typing. 


"Two Worlds, Two Loves, and One Adventure"
                 A Poke'mon/Inu-yasha crossover
               Chapter 4 b: "The Boys' plan"

        So the three headed back to Ash's house. There they watched tv for
roughly four hours before Misty woke up and slowly descended the steps
from Ash's room. Inu-yasha heard her first, but just smiled slightly and
kept his mouth shut. As soon as Ash heard the fourth stair from the bottom
creak, he immediately got up and hurtled over the couch, successfully
tripping himself and sending himself face-first to eat carpet. "You okay
Ash? What, do you like the taste of carpet?" Misty laughed. Ash picked
himself up and dashed over to Misty. "You okay?
Saydoyouwanttogoforawalklaterormaybenow?"Ash blurted out as soon as
he reached her. "Er . . . What did you say Ash? You're talking too fast."
Misty replied in a confused tone. "I, um . . . um asked, do you want to, um,
go for a walk with me later or, um, maybe now?"Ash choked out
nervously. 'Why now. Why do I have to get nervous now?' Ash thought
nervously. Inu-yasha mentally sweatdropped. 'That idiot. The fireworks
were his idea in the first place.' Inu-yasha thought. While Inu-yasha was
musing over Ash's actions, Kagome snuggled against him. 'Oh well. At
least I can be close to him right now. As soon as we get back Inu-yasha
will go running straight back to Kikyo.' Inu-yasha noticed that Kagome
was cuddled up to him and instinctively tensed up and then, as if it were a
second thought, Kagome felt his muscles loosen beneath her head, which
was resting on Inu-yasha's shoulder. Ash and Misty then went on their
walk.
             As for Mrs. Ketchum, she went to the grocery store and then went
to Professor Oak's to teach him how to cook her famous cheese tortellini.
Ash and Misty's walk took them to a tall, deserted hill on the beach of
Lake Pallet. A person could see the night sky perfectly from the top. The
reason it was deserted was that there was a story about the hill being
haunted. Ash had never believed the story, but thought it best to be
cautious anyway. Ash plopped himself down on the grassy hill and Misty
sat down beside him soon after. They stared at the sky for a moment then at
each other. Ash seemed to be under a spell as he stared into Misty's blue-
green eyes. He brought his brain reluctantly back down to Earth and told
Misty to look at the sky. Misty's hands began to twitch in her lap as she
thought about Ash. They stared at the sky for perhaps thirty more seconds
before fireworks came out of nowhere and lit up the sky in a shower of
gold, pink, and green sparkles. Ash, who had been expecting this, was
completely un-amazed. Misty however, was speechless and utterly
stunned. "Did you bring me up here on this hill to see the fireworks Ash?"
Misty finally managed to ask. "That and I, um, I, I, I, um . . . Misty I
wanted to tell you something." Ash said. "What?" Misty asked, obviously
confused as to why Ash was so nervous. "Misty I like you or what I mean
to say is, I love you." Ash stuttered.

don't.

       Author's Notes: Well that's chapter 4b. Kind of a cliffhanger, isn't it?
Will Misty laugh in Ash's face or will she say that she has feelings for him
as well? And what about Inu-yasha and Kagome? What will happen with
them? Incidentally, sorry it took so long to update. I've had problems with my E-mail account and couldn't update. By the way, I need you, the readers, to vote. Should our heros [and
