Before you begin, please let me tell you that these characters are not based on the actual Inuyasha character's personalities. The only thing that is similar somewhat is the relationships. If something about it seems weird because it does not fit the character that you originally know, please don't get mad.

Chapter 1: Building Anxiety
'When is it going to get here already?' Sango and her friends, Kagome and Kikyou grew impatient waiting for the bus to arrive. They sat on the ground in a circle, playing around with the camera to pass time.
"Kaede," Kagome spoke to the teacher. "Weren't we supposed to be leaving over half an hour ago?"
"Yes, but—" A ringing from a cell phone interrupted Kaede. She answered agitatedly. "Hello?... Yes…" She walked away from the students sitting on the benches to a quieter place.
"I don't believe it. I just don't believe it! Why would a tour company want to screw us over like this!" Kikyou stood up angrily. "What, was their bus not qualified or something?" She kicked the ground as Kaede returned.
"Hey, kids… Umm… We're going to have to take a plane down to Anaheim. The bus and the driver weren't certified to take us… A school bus will be here to take us to the airport shortly. I'm sorry."
Exasperated groans came from everyone. "That's total BS!" Kagome shouted.
"Kagome, screaming won't help now. We're getting there aren't we?" Kouga came over from his group of friends who were playing cards and joined their group.
"Yeah, it's not like the whole trip is cancelled." Sango tried to make her friend feel better.
"I guess…"
"I swear, if we didn't have a plan soon, I was about to go on a killing rampage.." Kikyou muttered under her breath.
A school bus pulled up alongside the curb where everyone was sitting. Slowly, they lugged their bags, instrument cases, and uniform bags onto the bus. There weren't very many of them. About eighteen of them, so there was enough room on that bus for everyone to have two seats if they wished.
Sango stared out of the window blankly, every once in a while looking back to talk to Kagome, who sat behind her.
"Why do you always look like you're contemplating?" Kouga's voice interrupted Sango's thoughts.
"What…?"
"The expression on your face always looks like you're contemplating something." Kouga smirked.
Sango shook her head and ignored him like usual. She heard Kagome's voice telling Kouga off. She heard Kikyou's distant laughing as she listened to Inuyasha's and Kagura's stories and jokes.
The bus arrived at last and everyone disembarked while dragging their belongings behind them. The group checked in, and sat for another two hours waiting for the plane to arrive. Kagome, Kikyou, and Sango sat and played cards with their own deck, while Kouga, Miroku, and Inuyasha played with theirs.
Flight 502, your plane is now boarding at Gate 23. Flight 502, your plane is now boarding at Gate 23.
Yes. They were on. Kikyou had the window seat, Sango sat on the aisle seat, and Kagome was in the middle. Inuyasha sat in the row in front, in between Kagura and Sesshoumaru. Sango couldn't help but stare across the aisle. Miroku sat there, in between Kouga and Myoga. She rested her left elbow on the armrest and let her chin fall into the palm of her hand. 'He'll never notice me… I probably scared him away already thanks to Kikyou…'
"Hey, Sango. Sango.. Sango? Sango!"
Suddenly she felt a poke on her arm. "Wha-What!" Sango whipped her head towards the direction of the poke. Kagome sat there grinning alongside a Kikyou with an evil grin on her face. "Wh-Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Sango's voice shook.
"Sango, Sango, Sango…" Kikyou shook her head and giggled, along with Kagome. Sango glared at them and turned away, finding herself staring at the ground. 'If I look up, he's there. If I look that way, they're teasing me about it…' She sighed, then felt the plane shake.
"Turbulence!" Kikyou and Inuyasha yelled out together. He looked back at her and the two of them laughed. Apparently, this was an inside joke shared by the two of them on the bus ride to the airport. The plane was landing.
'Yes! Finally!' Kagome grinned, and so did everyone else. She had been waiting to come to Anaheim for so long that she didn't know what she would do if Kaede was forced to cancel the trip.
The group got off of the plane and met up at the baggage claim area.
"You know," Kagome began as they all watched the revolving machine spin around carrying their luggage, "We're all going to look back on this moment one day and just laugh about it."
Kikyou and Sango both stared at her as they grabbed their bags off of the conveyor belt. "Heh, as if." They said in unison.
