I am SOOOO sorry this took so long! O.O; It has been almost a year
now. -sweatdrop- I have no excuse, I just didn't really feel like
working on it. o.O; I got a few reviews asking for updates, so I
decided to force myself to try another chapter. This one is a little
boring, but it is just leading up to the beginning of the summer fun in
chapter three!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Inuyasha, sadly. Rumiko Takahashi does. T.T
My Summer With the Boys
Chapter 2: Dealing with it
------------------------------
The name of the girl about which
this story is about is
Kagome
---
Sango mumbled and groaned as she watched Inuyasha load her
now MUCH lighter suitcase into the back of the car. Kagome had decided
to take the abandoned salted peanuts for herself and enjoy them during
the ride. She scooched in the back seat towards the left window, and
Sango came in next to her, followed by Inuyasha on her right.
The ride to the airport was quite enjoyable for the three friends. They
played some cards, talked about what Sango would be doing in Hawaii,
and did a bit of bashing each other with one of Kirara's cat toys. The
moment they arrived at the airport, everyone's happiness withered and
died.
"I can't believe you're going to be gone for a whole month!" Kagome said as she pulled Sango into a tight hug.
"I know... I'm going to miss you so much, Kagome!" Sango said, returning the hug.
The girls both turned to Inuyasha expectedly.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome and Sango just blinked at him.
"You mean you want me to-?"
The girls nodded, both a bit annoyed at his dumb act. They knew he knew perfectly well what they wanted.
"Keh...fine" He muttered as he joined the hug.
"That a boy, Inuyasha! See? Its not so bad!" Kagome grinned at him.
"Ha, I knew you'd miss me, too." Sango said.
"Don't get all mushy on me! I just did it 'cause you'd force me to anyway!" Inuyasha said as he broke the hug.
"Yea, sure Inuyasha." Kagome rolled her eyes and went to sit with Sango.
The next half hour just flew by as the three friends chatted and
watched the area start to fill up with more vacationers. Before they
knew it, it was time for Sango to board her plane. It was really
starting to sink in for all of them that she would be gone for such a
long time. More hugs were exchanged between the friends, as well as
with Sango's parents. Inuyasha willingly joined in this time.
Sango and her mother turned for a final wave before boarding the plane, then disappeared into the crowd.
The ride back was silent. Kagome and Inuyasha stared out of separate
windows without saying a word. Sango's dad would occasionally look back
at them and awkwardly ask how they were doing. Kagome would shift a bit
in her seat and shrug, and Inuyasha would grunt and stare at his feet.
After a very dull drive, Sango's dad dropped Kagome and Inuyasha off at
Inuyasha's house. Miroku was waiting for them on Inuyasha's front steps.
"Hello Inuyasha! Good to see you, Kagome! Did you have a nice ri-"
Kagome and Inuyasha silently walked past Miroku and sat a few steps above him.
"I see, you miss her already. She does seem like a great friend to you
two, when she comes back I should really try to get to know her
better..."
Inuyasha finally lifted his head to look at Miroku.
"Get to know her better? KEH. I think you know her pretty damn well
when you first met." Inuyasha said rolling his eyes as he fixed his
gaze back on his shoes.
"Oh yes, you might be right about that!" Miroku said, scratching his head in an embarrassed sort of way.
Kagome let her hair fall in front of her face and smiled, remembering what had happened...
---
"Kagome, can you believe it? Yura actually had the nerve to show up here!"
Sango and Kagome had gone to a party together. They were supposed to
meet up with Inuyasha, and his childhood friend Miroku who had recently
moved back to town.
"Really? Yura is here? She ripped the heads
off of all my dolls when I was six! She collected them in a sewing
basket." Kagome said in a disgusted tone as she spotted Yura.
"Good evening, ladies!" a boy they had never seen before said and smiled.
"Um, hi. Who are you?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha walked up to them and stood next to Miroku, answering her question.
"Oh I see, you must be Inuyasha's friend, Miroku!" Kagome said.
"Yea, this is Miroku. I'm going to go get something to drink. Be careful you guys." Inuyasha said and turned to leave.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Sango asked, but he was already gone.
Kagome was looking around the room.
"This is a pretty cool party, we should do this more often, what do you thi-" Kagome was suddenly interrupted by a loud shriek.
"Sango! What's wrong?" Kagome quickly turned to Sango.
Miroku had a slap mark on his face shaped perfectly like Sango's hand,
and Sango looked like she was ready to kill. Inuyasha had returned with
a soda and nearly spilled it all over himself laughing at the scene.
"He! That! GR! His hand! It was on my! I can't believe this!!!" Sango shouted at Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Sorry about that, I guess I forgot to mention Miroku's lecherous
tendencies!" Inuyasha managed to say through his laughter while using a
nearby table to support himself.
Miroku just smiled nervously and rubbed the mark on his face.
---
Kagome felt something brush against her arm, and turned to see Miroku inspecting her salted peanuts.
"I love nuts, mind if I have a few?" Miroku happily said, popping a few in his mouth.
"Umm... help yourself I guess." Kagome said, even though Miroku was already scarfing through the can.
They were quiet for a moment, except for Miroku munching the nuts. Inuyasha finally broke the silence.
"What are we going to do all summer, anyway?" he asked.
Miroku placed the empty can in the hands of Kagome, who just sighed.
"There are all sorts of fun things we can do together, even without
Sango! Just the three of us!" Miroku said, trying to be cheerful
despite how depressed Kagome and Inuyasha seemed.
"You aren't
going to make me do all that weird guy stuff, are you?" Kagome asked,
only just then realizing she was spending her summer with the boys.
"We are definitely not doing any GIRLY stuff!" Inuyasha said, standing up.
"We don't have to do girly stuff, I don't like girly stuff anyway! I
just don't want to do anything only you two will think is fun!" Kagome
shot back at him, standing up as well.
"Keh, all you will wanna do is go shopping and stuff!!"
"That's not true! Sure I will spend SOME time at the mall, but that is
way better than playing football or doing whatever it is you do all
summer!"
Miroku chose this moment to stand up between the two.
"Now now, you can't argue for the next month! We will find activities
that will make both of you happy." Miroku said, placing one hand on
Inuyasha's shoulder, and the other on Kagome's rear.
"MIROKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
