Underpants Gnomes by MontiK

Disney World

The Plane ride sucked. Sesshoumaru never wanted to hear the word turbulence ever again, and if asked would deny that the reason for Kagome's sore hand was because he had been clutching to it with more force than he realized. 

Their hotel wasn't so bad. It was on the Disney grounds so there was easy access to the various different parks and there were two pools they could use. If anyone asked Sesshoumaru, he would say the decorating left something to be desired. The halls were done in vibrant reds and blues, some with purples and yellows, and there were Disney characters everywhere. Donald Duck adorned the lobby, Mickey Mouse as well, Goofy behind the front desk. He was sure it would eventually drive him insane. 

The morning after they arrived he was awoken by a far too enthusiastic Kagome hovering over his face. She had a giant pair of Mickey Mouse ears on her head and was holding another looking at him expectantly. With much bickering and the threat of putting pictures of him covered in strawberry syrup and tinkling bells online (he didn't know if she really had pictures but he wasn't taking any chances) he agreed to wear the ears for the morning... and absolutely no longer. 

Their first stop was Magic Kingdom. Kagome wanted to spend the whole day there, much to Sesshoumaru's dismay. They would start in Fantasy Land and work their way out, trying rides here and there while searching for their Gnomish quarry.

He felt an insistent tug on his hand, pulling his eyes from their wandering over all the bright colors to his wife. Looking in the direction she was pulling him in he was caught in the shadow of a small castle. Big blue letters on a white background said “Snow White's Scary Adventures”. Groaning he allowed himself to be pulled along, Kagome was always a sucker for the Princess and Prince Charming stories so he expected to be forced through every ride having anything to do with such.

Through the hour long wait in line for the ride he had developed a tick in his eye. Kagome kept shooting him annoyed glances every time he groaned. And if the sheer wait wasn't long enough if he heard one more kid whine, smelled one more powdered sugar covered funnel cake, or stepped in just ONE MORE piece of chewed up gum... He might just revert to his true form and make a nice snack out of Snow White and her Seven Dwarves. Despite that Kagome might not talk to him for a century or two...

Finally they were allowed into the mine cart shaped cars. Kagome 'oohed' and 'ahed' at the different scenes illuminated by black lights. When they reached the scene of the seven dwarves Sesshoumaru scented something off... something that wasn't present throughout the rest of the ride, but yet oh so unpleasantly familiar. Kagome's gasp as she pointed to something moving among the little dwarf statues cemented his assumption. Their quarry was near!

Finally when the ride set them free Sesshoumaru held tight to Kagome's hand and pulled her through the park while he mulled through the different scents to find that faint trace of Underpants Gnome. He finally found them. Eying their spot warily, they were going to have to enter a ride with spinning teacups. He didn't like spinning, didn't like spinning at all. But revenge was a good motivator, and he wanted his underpants back!

The chase seemed so much less eventful when one had to wait an hour to get onto a ride...

They ran to get into the same teacup as the little gnomes, determined to corner them. Crammed into the little seats the Gnomes started a staring contest with the daiyoukai. 

His golden glare seemed to have no effect on the tiny thieves. It was then that he noticed the ride was starting. Feeling a little green about the gills he hid it well and continued his end of their staring contest. But then... the little beasts pulled their trump card. 

It was apparently common knowledge dog's didn't like spinning, and also common knowledge to the gnomes that Sesshoumaru was mostly dog. The duo of devious devils grinned impishly and grasped the wheel in the middle of the teacup, the exact wheel that controlled just how much and how fast their teacup spun. 

Eyes widening Sesshoumaru shook his head back and forth, the feeling of trepidation crept up on him in that moment. He would allow a truce, if they just didn't spin that wheel!

They didn't listen...

While Kagome laughed and giggled happily and the delightful turns and spins turned the world around them into a colorful blur Sesshoumaru would once again have a high pitched squeal burned into his memory. One he would once again never live down, but this one was in a much more public placeand therefore much more embarassing. He grabbed onto his seat for dear life, shut his eyes tight trying to dispel the images of the spinning world around him, and cried for mommy to make it stop!

The torturous spinning had to have lasted for hours, Sesshoumaru was sure. He sat shaking, shocked, and wide-eyed in his seat. Kagome was shaking his arm telling him the gnomes were going to get away if the didn't give chase!

He stumbled from the ride, nearly tipping as Kagome pulled him over to yet another attraction. He noticed with satisfaction that this one did not spin. Good. “Pooh's Playful Spot” was displayed on a sign that look like old weathered wood and painted by a young boy, probably by the name of Christopher Robin. 

They chased the gnomes up trees, through carrot patches, into little houses (poor Eeyore would have to rebuild his again), and past honey filled bee hives. Realizing their chasing tactic was only giving them a good tour of the park they attempted to come up with a new plan. They needed camouflage!

As if the very spirit of Mickey Mouse were on their side they spotted just what they needed. A careless park employee had left a Pooh and Piglet costume laying just out in the open waiting for someone to put them to good use.

Sesshoumaru donned the Pooh bear costume (he wouldn't fit in the other) and Kagome was soon disguised as Piglet. Stealthily the stalked through the expanse of the toddler's playground. But alas! They were foiled again!

The tiny tots roaming around the grounds were ecstatic to see their favorite characters brought to life before their eyes, and rushed forward to hug their plushy idols and beg for autographs. As Sesshoumaru was overrun with little children's body as if he were a walking jungle gym he vowed revenge on the Underpants Gnomes for every indignity he would suffer while seeking them out in this “Disney World”.

Much to his chagrin Kagome was ecstatic, the gnomes and her missing underpants forgotten as she hugged and posed with every child and made autographs in what she thought was a very “Pigletty” fashion.

They lost sight of their prey and would have to hunt another day...
