Chapter 1
Last day of the high school. Everyone was staring anxiously at the clock. Kagome couldn't wait until the road trip she was going on with her best friends.
First there was Sango. She had long, brown hair with brownish green eyes. She had been her best friend since before she could remember. Their mothers were best friends and they visited each other so they basically grew up in the same house. Sango was her best friend. It was like she could read her mind or know what she was about to say before she said it. Sango was kind to most. She was physically and mentally strong. Kagome had only seen her cry once or twice and it scared her both times. When Sango was crying, something was wrong. Totally wrong. Sango was cheerful and was sport oriented. No matter what sport, if she played it once she was pretty good at it. Sango was a friend Kagome would never lose, no matter what happened.
Next was Miroku. He had short brown hair with violet eyes. He was a really cool guy once you met him... properly. He's a bit of a lecher, but he sure knew how to get a party started and how to make the best out of the poor, stupid situation. He was the one who figured out the whole trip. He was always good for a laugh. He's personality was always laid back and relaxed, but yet he could be serious when it came to certain things. Kagome met Miroku in the third grade. He was a new student and asked to borrow her crayons. She gave him a few and he thanked her in a inappropriate way. He seemed to have a crush on Sango, but never had the guile to "ask a gorgeous woman such as Lady Sango" out. Sango had a crush on him too. She didn't know how they didn't see it in each other's eyes. All in all, Miroku was a great guy.
Last, but not least was Inuyasha. He was a good guy despite his attitude and outward display of a macho man. Deep down, he was a caring guy who suck up for his friends. He was protective of those he cared about. He would rather take the pain of his friends if he could. Kagome always had a crush on him since the fourth grade. Like Miroku, she never acted on the instinct. Inuyasha was a strong and muscular. He was physically tone and to add on top of all of it, he had his features of his long black hair and brown eyes. Kagome met him in Kindergarten. He was always alone, withdrawn in a corner, but she always invited him over. He finally once gave in and met Sango. His first friend was Kagome. He would always remember her for that.
'Too bad that everyone is in different classes.' she thought. She looked back up at the clock as the class began to shout. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1!" The bell as soon as everyone shouted one. Everyone in the class shot up and out the door. Kagome looked through the crowded hallway searching for her friends. It was too hard to find three people in a crowd of probably 4,000 students. Good thing that they had their meeting spot outside of the school. Kagome grabbed her backpack and headed towards a huge oak tree on the school's back lawn. She noticed Sango was already by the tree. Kagome ran over to her excitedly.
"Finally, school's out and it's time for our road trip." Kagome said
"Yeah, I can't wait until we hit some waves." Sango said.
"Uh... Sango?"
"Yes?"
"You do know, I don't know how to surf, right?"
"What? Are you serious?"
Kagome nodded. "Yea."
"Well, it's real easy. You should be able to get the hang of it easily."
"Easy for you to say." she muttered. Sango shot her a look.
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing."
"Hey ladies." a voice came from the school doors.
"Hey, Miroku."
"How is my lovely Sango doing?"
"My? Excuse me Miroku, but all you have is probably 50 cents in your wallet."
"Yeah, because I planned this trip."
"You know Sango he has a point." Kagome stated.
"Shut up. Who's side are you on anyway?"
"Okay ladies. You can put your claws away. I was planning on enjoying today. Where's Inuyasha?"
"We don't know."
"I guess we have to wait for him then."
They kept anxiously looking at the door ever time it opened. Inuyasha didn't come out. Kagome leaned her back against the tree trunk. "Where is he?" Kagome looked up to see someone's face right in front of hers. She screamed as she fell down. Miroku and Sango looked back to see Inuyasha hanging upside down from the lowest tree branch.
"Inuyasha, stop scaring poor Kagome and get your sorry butt down here."
Inuyasha flipped down from the tree. Kagome was still in shock from getting scared.
"Sorry, Kagome. I didn't know you get scared THAT easy."
Kagome glared at him. "I recall someone screaming like a girl when I put a fake mouse in his locker."
Miroku and Sango began laughing at the memory.
"You said you wouldn't bring that up again." he said.
Kagome gave him a look like she didn't care and began to get up. She began to walk over to him whenever she tripped over an exposed root. She began to fall, until Inuyasha caught her. She looked up at him. "Thanks." she said.
"Once a klutz always a klutz."
She glared at him. "Whatever."
Miroku stepped next to Sango. "Okay, children. Can we get on the road already?"
Sango said, "I agr---." She was cut short by a familiar hand on something personal.
"Lecher." SLAP!
Inuyasha and Kagome shook their heads. "I guess the girls will take a different car than the guys." he said. Kagome nodded. "That's guaranteed."
