Chapter 2, Hooked
"We are so dead.." Ayame whispered.
"Well, shit"
"May!" Kaori looked at the girl.
"Sorry mama" May looked down, defeated.
"May? Ayame? Kagome?" Inuyasha finally saw the three.
"Do you know each other," Inutaisho looked at the younger ones.
"We met on the road here" Inuyasha said simply but the girls felt 6 feet under already.
"On the road?" Kagome's father looked at all three girls. It was the look that basically meant they're dead. They slowly started to back away.
"What is the matter with you three? Have we not taught you anything! Honestly, meeting strangers on the roa- hey girls! Come back here! I am not finished!" The girls didn't hear it. They ran, fast. They past a few blocks of houses before they were nearly hit by a car going 10 on the road.
"Watch it!" Ayame yelled before they kept running past the clearing towards the back gates of the community.
They made it to a small Bay Area with a beach that's hidden by trees behind the community. The place was pretty much forgotten about when the gates were put up but Kagome had found it when her parents first moved down here. It was a quick getaway to be by herself and it was the only place you could find her the summer after her freshman year. Since then it's been a safe haven.
"Think we lost him?" Ayame looked at them.
"Woah- what is this place" a voice said behind them.
"Kouga?" Ayame was struck. "What are you doing here"
"I was in the car you guys always hit, Miroku too" he pointed towards the gate. At the moment, Sango and Miroku were climbing it. And even Kagome could see the silver hair making his way there too.
"So much for secrecy.." May muttered and then mouthed sorry to Kagome who just shrugged it off.
"So this is where you guys run?" Inuyasha joined them.
"Kagome found it when her parent moved in" Ayame said.
"It's neat, the beach clean?" Kouga asked putting an arm around Ayame who the girls were surprised to see wasn't throwing it away.
"Yea, the waters fine. Swim?" May smirked.
"Not one person is in their swim clothes, May" Kagome stated.
"Since when did that matter- we're all adults right?" With that, she started stripping.
"Are you serious- how much do you want my dad to kill us!" Kagome threw her hands up.
"He won't know if you stop being such a baby!" May ran to the water clad only in her underwear and bra. Ayame followed with Kouga running after her and soon Miroku and Sango joined them. Inuyasha was just looking at Kagome.
"What?" She asked him.
"You not going in?" He looked serious.
"Are you crazy? I am not going in just my underwear" she scoffed and stuck her nose in the air.
"Suit yourself" he stripped his shirt off from behind and pulled down his shorts in a way that made it hard for Kagome to look away. His body made it even harder. You could see the definition in his abs and chest and his arms looked almost delicious. He was running into the water catching a glance at Kagome before smirking and launching in. She went red before stomping to a tree nearby and climbing.
"I was wondering when you'd get here" a voice in the tree scared her.
"Rin?" She looked up at a familiar branch.
"She finally comes to the tree" Rin helped her to sit on the branch.
"Why are here?" Kagome asked.
"Hiding from Mama" she smiled "she wanted me to meet the new neighbors again"
"You should be used to that by now" Kagome laughed.
"Hardly- you should get used to it" she winked.
"I've got at least half a year"
"I heard about that- congrats. Early admission to Orlando for masters Souta's got some steps to fill." Rin giggles.
"Says the vet"
"Technically, you're passing me silly. Biologist trumps animal doctor"
"Whatever" Kagome punched her shoulder.
"Who are they?" Rin nodded to the idiots in the water.
"You know May and Ayame. The one with the silver hair? The new neighbors kid- turns out mom knows them already though- and the others are his friends. We met them on our way here. Dad was pissed when he found out"
"No duh- his baby girl talking to strangers on the highway?" Rin mocked her.
"Oh shut up- I tried not to but you know how May is"
"The mastermind? Of course" Rin laughed. "You said the silver haired is the neighbors kid?"
"Inuyasha, yea. Why?"
"He is staring this tree down- looking for you, I suppose." Rin smirked.
"He is not- just taking in the area. He's new." she excused, looking away.
"Mhmm. Kagome?" Rin looked at her.
"Yea?"
"You doing okay?" She was serious but soft.
"I'm good-been better but I'm doing good" she smiled small but it was enough for Rin. The shorter girl jumped off the tree and landed in the grass.
"Let's go say hi to your friends?" Rin asked up.
"You can! I'm fine here" Kagome looked at the water as Rin walked away.
It was calming. The breeze within the tree and the sounds of the water worked magic on the girl. On her worst days she wished that she had this to run to but she didn't have this in jersey. The only place she could go to think would be the park and normally when she wanted peace, it was around one in the morning. She was so taken by the scene she didn't notice someone reach the tree.
"The waters good, you know?" Inuyasha sat next to her, scaring her.
"Don't do that!" She hiss, steadying her heart.
"Did I scare you?" He started laughing.
"Yes!" She yelled losing her balance but before she could fall, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Making her body crash into his on the way back. She pulled away instantly.
"Um- I should go" She hopped down from the branch and headed towards the gate. He just watched her leave before jumping down himself.
"You scare her away?" May walked up to him.
"Nah she just left" He watched as she climbed the gate.
"Doubt that-she doesn't leave unless she's uncomfortable" May said.
"That's make me feel so much better" He snorted.
"Don't worry- her feeling uncomfortable might actually be a good thing for you" She slapped his back before putting on her clothes and following the other girls direction.
Kagome was the first one back to the house. Even with the house guests, she was the first to receive the wrath of her father for meeting people on the highway. By the time everyone else came by, hers was done so she retreated to her room. All her clothes were unpacked but her little things needs out of their bags. She finished up and cleaned her room before plopping down on her bed with her laptop. Just as she was about to go downstairs and make tea, the door slammed open.
"Ever heard of knocking? Or opening the door like a normal person!" Kagome yelled as the girls filed in.
"Who opens doors normally?" May smirked.
"Up- hot cheeks" Ayame pulled Kagome off the bed.
"Wha- why?"
"They're forcing us out" Rin looked defeated.
"Out where? Seriously- I was so ready for a prejudice night here" she pointed to her section on the bed.
"Oh NO! You are not spending your first night in Florida moping about Darcy all night. I bet you were going to go make some tea or hot chocolate like a psycho?" May looked at her. Kagome stood shut. "That's what I thought. Nope. We are going out- with the boys and Sango"
"I assume you haven't told my father about this outing?" Kagome snorted.
"He is actually a little uh- occupied to care" Rin chimed in.
"Occupied?"
"He's drunk" May blurted.
"And mom?"
"Decency to be just tipsy" Ayame added.
"And we are outta here!" May pulled on Kagome.
"I do not wanna go into Orlando." Kagome whined. She was cramped into her car with all the girls. Even Sango rose in their car because she was exhausted of the testosterone.
"Don't be a prude"
"We aren't going to Orlando, anyways" Ayame added.
"Where else would you guys be going?"
"Jupiter"
"Why the hell are we going all the way to Jupiter?"
"I got this app that tells you like different events going on around you and shit. Free Bonfire" May stated.
"This just sounds sketchy"
"Shut up and enjoy it" May shot back.
"Ughhhh" she whined and Sango and Rin laughed.
The girls came out of the car meeting the guys in the parking lot. They all walked along the beach together, looking for the fire.
"You look nice" Inuyasha popped up next to Kagome, who was walking by herself, away from the group.
"Uh- thanks. You too." She looked at him. He had on a red plaid with a tank top underneath and khaki cargo shorts. He looked meant for the beach.
Kagome had on a simple pair of shorts with a Lacey top that flared at the sleeves. It was Mays pick deeming the girl a gypsy for the night.
"You been to these before?" He looked at her with his hands in his pocket.
"Once or twice. May cares for them more than me so.."
"And what do you care about?" He asked her and she laughed.
"Hoho ohhhh no. No."
"What?" He asked.
"Please do not start that?" She looked at him.
"Start what?"
"Trying to understand me and get me"
"Is that wrong?"
"Yes- in fact when it comes to me, you can't"
"I can't try to get you?" He looked at her.
"No- you can't" she said, sternly.
"And if I don't feel like listening to you?" He smirked, loving the challenge approaching.
"Then you're wasting your own time" she said
"I think I'll decide if it's a waste of my time" he laughed at her.
"Trust me, it is"
"Is not!" One of the girls yelled behind them but she couldn't figure out which one because they were all huddled just laughed.
"I like you" he simply said, taking her back.
"You can't." She forced out.
"I can't?" He smirked.
"I mean- you shouldn't. " she said, looking away.
"Sucks" he shrugged.
"Stubborn ass.." She muttered but he caught it and started laughing.
They finally got to the fire and the music was pounding. The fire was high and the party was in full swing. Drinks were on the opposite side of the dj and people were dancing all around the logs. Some wood was scattered around for seats.
"We should go out more often, who wants some drinks!" May yelled before jogging to the drink section.
"She always like this?" Inuyasha asked.
"Worse" Ayame laughed.
"You have no idea.." Kagome muttered. May came back and handed her a beer as well as everyone else.
"Sure you can take that?" Inuyasha pointed at her beer.
"Are you seriously asking me this?" She looked at him with a hand on her hip. He chugged his drink and smirked at her.
"Screw off" she walked away from him.
"What! No-" he grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to a log. "No- it's cute. come on. Let's see you take it" He smirked.
"Are you sexist or something?" She raised a brow.
"I definitely have nothing against women" He wiggled his eyebrows.
"So you're a whore?" He choked and she laughed. "I'll take that as a yes"
"I am not!" He fought back.
"No?" She asked, sarcastically.
"Shut up" His cheeks flushed and she found it adorable before she stopped herself. He can't be adorable. He can't be anything to her.
"I'm gonna go..find May." She shot up and walked away. Inuyasha just watched her with a smile on his face.
She didn't fall to his knees. She barely acknowledged him unless he forced her too. She was a challenge for him and something was telling him to go for her. The fact that she wasn't taken by him at first sight was enough to tell him that she was worth going after. She was his dream girl, after all.
"May- can we go?" She walked up to the blonde that was making some large group laugh.
"Dude, we just got here!" May exclaimed.
"Does it look like I care?"
"Kagome- you need to live a little" May yelled.
"I don't want to live. I want to go home, make my tea and cry over bbc" Kagome hissed.
"And you said you don't need to live.." May was slightly tipsy. Kagome cursed under her breathe. If May was tipsy, Ayame was worse. This meant Kagome needed to drive them home. "You get an hour- only an hour!" She pointed her finger in her best friends face before stalking off towards the water. As usual, the sounds of the waves calmed her down. The party was far behind her on the beach and the fire stilllit up where she stood by the water. Her sandals were in her hands and her feet were digging in the sand as the water passes over them.
"Kagome?" A voice called behindher. She turned around.
"Mack?" Kagome started to back away from the guy.
"Wait please don-"
"Why are you here?"She yelled at him. Her breathing unsteady and her heart racing.
"I uh-I transferred out here. Last year." He said, putting his hands in his pocket.
"Great but why are you here- talking to me." She hissed, clenching her fists.
"I saw you, I just..wanted to talk." He said, shyly.
"We have nothing to talk about." She said.
"I'm really sorry-" He blurted out.
"No you're not.." she whispered. "None of you are.."
"I am- truly. Kagome I-" He tried to step near her.
"No! Stay away from me!-"
"Kagome?" She turned and saw Inuyasha yelling for her from by the fire. He was watching her and heard her scream. She ignored him though. She ran, back down the way they walked to get to the bonfire. Her feet were bare so it was easy for her to run through the sand to the parking lot by the end of the beach. She had the keys so she got in and slammed the door shut. She didn't know when but at some point tears were fought but kept falling. Her body was shaking and she couldn't stop. She was trying to breathe but it was becoming difficult. She jumped when she felt a bang on her car.
"Kagome?"
Inuyasha. He was at the window, looking down at her.
"Go away!" She yelled, looking down.
"Open the door-"
"Please- go AWAY!" She tried but he was stronger. He pulled the door and she let go before she would fall out. She tried to climb to the other seat to run out the door but he held her.
"Will you stop moving!" He yelled at her.
"Will you leave me alone?" She yelled at him, fighting his arms as he held her to him.
"No- I won't"
"Why!" She looked at him.
"Because you shouldn't be alone!"
I'm a sucker for a hot and serious Inuyasha (;
