Chapter One: The Unexpected Invititation

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kagome shrieked, screaming on the top of her lungs. Something arrived in the mail; something very special that caused Kagome Higurashi to scream... scream loud. Her hands clutched none other than a letter from the Busch Gardens Company stating she won the contest. Kagome read the letter in her mind once more, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Kagome smiled once more, this was heaven. A private jet? To Tampa, Florida? With anyone she wanted? This was all too fast. Kagome threw herself on the leather couch her mother recently brought as she let out a long sigh. But wait, the jet would arrive... tomorrow? She needed to gather up all her friends, and fast. There was no way she could bring her school friends; she barely spoke to them and it would be a total waste of space if they came along. Plus, they would annoy her about her "boyfriend." Kagome's eyes then widen, she should bring her Feudal Era friends! She was always with them, why not? She grabbed her backpack, and ran outside, her hands still gripping the letter. "Bye Mom! Bye Grandpa! I'm going back to the Feudal Era, okay? I'll see you later!" Kagome rushed her words as she pulled both doors they led to the well; taking a deep breath before coming inside. She hopped down the well as if she was the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. Several seconds later, she found herself coming out of the well.

"Kagome, where the hell have you been?!" InuYasha sneered at the 15-year old. He was clearly fed up, he glared down at the raven-haired girl who was smiling up at him. "InuYasha, I'll explain later. Where's Miroku & Sango? I have a big annoucement to make." Kagome declared, as she looked up in the sky with both eyes closed, as if she triumphed.

"Feh. They're over there. If you haven't noticed, they're feuding once again." InuYasha replied with both eyes closed, his arms folded across his buff chest. Kagome just shook her head as her response to InuYasha, giggling. "Sango-chan, Miroku-sama, please stop. I have a big annoucement to make and if you would please gather around next to InuYasha, I'll be able to speak to you guys about it." Kagome smiled down at the pair that was both opposite from each other. "Eh, Kagome-chan? Just what is it you're talking about?" Sango asked in excitment, slightly curious. Miroku sat a few inches away from InuYasha. Sango apparently didn't want to sit next to the perverted monk, quickly deciding to sit on the right side of InuYasha. Sango sat down Japanese style as she curiously looked up her best friend, Kagome.

"Okay everyone, thanks so much for attending this little annoucement I had in store." Kagome began, as her fingers fiddled with the letter she recieved in the mail. "I got a letter from... well... the Busch Gardens Contest Team saying that I won a contest, they randomly picked a name from the Tokyo residence. I am allowed to invite anyone, but they have to be between the ages of 13 and 17, and I was hoping if you guys would love to... come." Kagome said as a sweatdrop appeared on the side of her hand, scratching the back of her head as everyone's expression was blank. Kagome sighed, "Forget it then..." Kagome mumbled under her breath, picking up her yellowish backpack, ready to return to the well.

"Wait a sec, Kagome. What's a Busch Gardens? Is that suppose to be some stupid Garden with bushes?" InuYasha asked as he tilted his head in confusion. Kagome spun around fast, her eyes gleaming. InuYasha was actually curious about what she had to say? Impressive. "No InuYasha, it's an amusement park with a lot of rides. Trust me, you won't regret coming with me if you agreed to go. You'll have fun, besides it's only a week." Kagome pleaded her friends as she dropped down to her knees, with an adorable puppy face. InuYasha shook his head, as he looked over at Sango, who was probably thinking what an amusement park even was. Then, InuYasha then glanced over at Miroku who was probably day-dreaming about the beautiful woman living in Kagome's time would look like. InuYasha sighed in defeat, "Alright fine. I don't know about these two, but I'm going." Kagome hugged InuYasha as a pink tint appeared on InuYasha's face, deciding whether or not to return the hug. "Sango-chan... please?" Kagome asked as slightly smiled, still in InuYasha's arms. Sango smiled as she nodded her head, then glancing over at the monk. She knew the monk would go if she went, therefore Kagome had to invite some other people, to distract him from making moves on her.

"Thank you, you guys! I have to invite other people over here too, I don't want this trip to be a total waste." Kagome thought as her index finger tapped on her chin, thinking. "How about Kouga? And Ayame? ... Or Sesshomaru?" Kagome chuckled. "Well, it's up to you guys, can you please ask around?" Kagome asked, placing her hand on the corner of the well. "Keh, fine. But that wolf better keep his hands away from you." InuYasha mumbled the last sentence he said. Kagome nodded, when hearing what InuYasha said. "Oh by the way, I hope you all have luggages and bags of clothes, food, and you know... other stuff you need. Don't bring like your weapons, there's not going to be any demons lurking there." Kagome additionally added the last sentence when Sango lifted up her Hirakotsu. "Alright Kagome-sama, understood. Now if you guys may excuse me, I have to prepare." Miroku nodded at Kagome as he started walking away. "Well, I guess that's all. Make sure you ask around if they would love to come, I'll come back here tomorrow around ten-ish to pick you guys up." Kagome said as she waved good-bye. Kagome leaped down at the well; returning back to her own time.

"What a day." Kagome smiled as she said to herself inside her mind. She walked upstairs without even noticing any of her family members, just too excited about the trip. Uh-oh, one big problem. She needed to pack, and fast! Kagome swung open her closet door, searching around a few piles of neatly folded clothes. "What do I wear... what do I wear..." Kagome quietly said to herself as she summoned her a extra large pink luggage that's she been having for quite some time. It was brand new, and this would be the perfect time to use it. Setting the luggage a few inches away from her, Kagome then turned around. She started throwing cute tops, cute jeans, cute shoes onto the luggage without even looking. She then turned around half-way, seeing it was already full. "Hmm, I guess that should do it." Kagome giggled while her hand covering her mouth to be polite. She zipped her luggage as she forced herself to lie down on the bed. "I can't wait..." Kagome smiled as she tightly held on to the pink sheets. She tried her best to sleep, and hopefully this vacation was worth it.
