CHAPTER 3:Life Is Like A Wave
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's been about a week since Sango and Miroku transferred to her school and now Shin, Riku, and Ryuu will be hear too. Yes…Life is great, well she could go without all the teasing and what not, but she could just ignore that like she always did. She is not the type of girl that goes around crying like a baby every time someone says hurtful things to her. Her dad taught her better than that. Just like he told her when she was little ' There will always be someone you come across that will try to put you down, but the key thing is not to let them get to you. That's is what they want and you would be giving them the satisfaction that they accomplished such a blow. Instead, just ignore them and walk away. Some may think this is being a coward but it's not. Once you walk away enough time and show them you're not affected then it make them feel the blow twice as worse and eventually it will stop. Just remember that my little guppy and you will be indestructible. No one will be able to hurt you.' her father's words rung through her mind. She remembered that day like it was yesterday. She got upset because a rival said some hurtful things to her father and she didn't understand why he didn't do anything back. He just laughed and walked away. Kami only knows how much she misses his laugh.
"Oi, Space Cadet? You still there?" Riku waved his hand back and forth in front of her face.
"Huh…yea, yea. I'm here Riky." Kagome said as she was brought out of thought as they reached the schoolyard. As usual, everyone stared but there were no snickering or rude comments that she usual heard being thrown her way. She furrowed her brows and looked down at what she was wearing. Black baggy pants and her big Metallica t-shirt, well she was dressed the same. 'Oh well' She just shrugged it off and continued to walk up the school steps with Sango, Miroku, Riku, Ryuu, and Shin fallowing behind her.
Boy were they a sight to see as they all walked down the hall. Sango was wearing a white Billabong tank top with black fishnets underneath and black plaid caprice. Miroku wearing his orange Hooters t-shirt and blue jeans. Riku wearing a white 40 oz to freedom Sublime t-shirt and his sky blue basketball short with a black Volcom cap on backwards. Ryuu was wearing a white wife beater with a silky black unbuttoned shirt that had red and blue dragons on it over it and blue jeans with his hair pulled back in his usual low ponytail. And finally Shin was wearing a white Gibson Guitar shirt and blue jeans with a guitar case strapped across his back. All dressed in there own different way that told a lot about there personalities but you still got that vibe that they were close to each other.
They ignored all the girls gawking at them and the boys dirty looks as they made there way to the main office to pick up Shin, Riku, and Ryuu's class schedules. Once they had them, they all took out their schedules to see who and what and with whom.

Well they basically have all the same classes except for one, which is good. They all left the main office to go and find their lockers.
So far, school has been kinda awkward. Shin, Ryuu, and Riku seem to be the center of all the attention. One girl actually had the balls to come to our table and sit on Ryuu's lap asking him 'why he would be hanging around us' and told him he 'should come sit at her table'. We all had a good laugh at that as he gently pushed her off his lap and told her to go away. Of course when she didn't get the hint, Sango had to threaten to beat the life out of the girl before she FINALLY walked away. They all now sat around the picnic table outside in the courtyard.
" Ya know, I was thinking. The surfing competition is coming up here pretty soon and I think we should meet up more to work out /practice. I mean, it couldn't do any harm." Shin casually through out there while he played 'Everlast- What it's like' tune on his acoustic guitar.
"Yea, especially Kagome and Sango. It's Kagome's first year in competing and also you two signed up for the tag-team this year too." Ryuu added.
"I don't know guys, I'm pushing it as it is. I don't know if I'll be able to get more practice time in with out my mom finding out. If that happens then I wont be competing at ALL." Kagome groaned.
"Well, I heard that the schools swim team needs more people. We can work out our swimming there and maybe meet an hour earlier in the mornings during the week. On weekends we can wing it, practice when ever we can." Sango suggested as they all thought about it to see if they can fit that in.
" I'm down." Riku looked around at the others to see them nodding in agreement.
"Well, Riku and I will have to ask our dad for some time off from working at the shop but that shouldn't be a problem since it would be for an after school project." Ryuu said with agreement.
"I think I can make that work. Mom won't question me about joining the swim team. I say we drop by their tomorrow mourning and see if we can join in." Kagome suggested while nodding her head in agreement.
"It's settled then." Miroku said with a smile as the rest finished eating there lunch.
~*~
Across the courtyard, Sesshoumaru was observing them from afar in deep thought. He couldn't fathom why Kagome would wear those hideous clothes when she had a body that would put a goddess to shame. He never really thought she was fat to begin with but still, he wasn't expecting THAT kind of body. His thought drifted back to what he saw this mourning. He never knew she could surf so well or that she did in the first place. He was also wondering what the hell Inuyasha was doing there too.
Inuyasha was somewhere in the same train of thought as his brother. Trying to figure out why the hell she would be getting up at 4:30 in the mourning to go surfing, of all things. And Kami, that body of hers… DAMN! She was better looking than anyone girl he has seen before. She looked a lot like Kikyo but instead of staring into deep pools of brown, it would be staring into ocean blue. But anyways, she is one hell of a surfer. He always wanted to learn how to surf but he never knew anyone that did. Everyone he associated with was of high class and thought it to be below them to do so. Well, he feels like an idiot now for making that joke about how she can't swim when she freaked out as he tried to throw her in their pool and gave her a hard time about it. Maybe if he started to be nice to her, outside of school of course, maybe she will teach him how to surf. He is going to have to start working on that.
"Ohhh, Sesshy-baby did you miss me?"
Sesshoumaru cringed at the high pitched shriek and looked down to see Kagura clinging to his arm with what looks like a horrible attempt at pouting. He looked around the picnic table to see Kikyo kissing Inuyasha, Koga wrapping his arm around Ayame, Naraku trying to get Yura to let go of his arm, and then looked at Hiten and Bankotsu auguring about something foolish no doubt. (A/N: it's a big picnic table) He sighed.
"…Kagura" Sesshoumaru looked back down at her " if I have to tell you not to call me that again, you will regret it for the rest of your life." He told her in a low, deadly tone that made her eyes go wide. She let go of his arm to talk to Yura, pretending that their conversation never happened. He was sure he wont be hearing that name ever again. He can barley tolerate Sesshy as it is, he absolutely will NOT stand for Sesshy- baby.
Kikyo pulled back from Inuyasha's kiss and joined in the conversation Kagura, Yura, and Ayame were having. She wasn't really thinking about the conversation all that much, it was only about that Kagome girl and her friends, her thoughts were more on Sesshoumaru and how to get him with her. Inuyasha's great and all but Sesshoumaru is more of a man, the original one she wanted to be with. She is only with Inuyasha to get to his brother anyways. Just the thought of Sesshoumaru makes her hot, just picturing him in between her legs while he has that sexy smirk of his on his face…KAMI HELP ME! But I guess second best is fine for now. It's just a matter of time anyways. She smirks…
~*~
The rest of the school day went by fast and soon they found them selves going their separate ways. Promising to see each other at the 'surf turf' tomorrow mourning, they said goodbye. Riku and Ryuu went to their father's car shop to get some work done, Shin headed to the music center to work as well, he had to give some lessons today. Sango had to go pick up her little brother and Miroku decided to go with her. So that left Kagome to head home.
Once Kagome walked through the front door she noticed Sesshoumaru, Kagura, Inuyasha, Kikyo, Koga, and Ayame sitting in the living room watching Twilight. She just ignored them and headed to her room. As she sat on her bed she pulled out her PSP only to find out it was dead, so she just laid back on her bed listening to 'Sylver- Turn the Tide'. Kagome looked around her room at all the band and surfing posters on her wall, thinking. A lot has happened since her father died. Moms changed, never that carefree woman she once was. Souta is in college in the U.S. (A/N: he's older in this fic.) and finally, mom's getting married in 5 ½ months to her boss at that who has a psycho for an ex wife. 'Now I know where Inuyasha gets it. Haven't met her but from what I've heard I don't want to. Inuyasha doesn't even want anything to do with her. That's pretty bad.' Her thought slowly went back to her dad. Kami she missed him. It's been 6 years since then. Kagome turned and looked at the picture on her nightstand. It was of her father standing next to his surfboard with a 6 year old Kagome in his arms smiling, she let a tear run down her cheek. She didn't realize she fell asleep until she heard a loud knock on her door. Groggily, she got up and answered the door to her room to find Inuyasha standing there.
"Hey, dinner is ready, I was sent up here to get you." Kagome stood there for a second waiting for him to make a snotty remark but it never came. She just shrugged it off and nodded, fallowing him downstairs to the dinning room where everyone was waiting.
As Kagome entered, she looked around to see Inuyasha take a set next to his brother who was sitting on his father's left, who was sitting at the head of the table with her mother on his right, so Kagome sat next to her.
Once dinner was served mom made some small talk with Inu who after awhile started asking everyone about their day. Inuyasha kept glancing at Kagome every now and again which made her start wondering what was causing his odd behavior, but she kept to herself like she always did, unless she was spoke to. Inu was listing to Sesshoumaru as he told him about his day then listened to Inuyasha about his, until he finally looked at her.
"So how was your day Kagome?" Inu asked as he looked up from his plate. He noticed she didn't eat all that much and was just moving her food around her plate.
"Fine…" was all he was able to get out of her. She didn't even look up from her plate.
Silence…
"Are you not hungry?" he tried again.
"…Had a big lunch." Fallowed by more silence.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. All she had was a slice of pizza and an apple. He would know, he saw her eating. Inuyasha just stayed silent.
Inu sighed.
Kagome noticed everything was silent and looked up. Everyone was looking at her except Inuyasha. She became even more uncomfortable. So she quietly cleared her throat and looked at her mother.
"May I be excused?" she asked in a soft voice. Both her mother and Inu nodded silently.
"Mother I am going to go take a walk. I will be back by dark, ok." Kagome whispered to her mother who nodded and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Kagome turned and they all watched her leave and heard the front door open then close.
Aoi sighed and apologized for her daughter's behavior. He gave a small smile and gently grabbed her hand to give it a little squeeze. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha just glanced at them and continued to eat. After a couple of minutes Inuyasha asked for permission to leave the table and said he was going out and would be back after bit. The rest continued with dinner, making small talk.
~*~
Kagome hurried down to the beach and made her way to the shed. She quickly changed into her swimsuit, which was a red and gold bikini with a peace sign pattern and grabbed her board.
Once she was out in the water, Kagome did a couple more duck dives, and then settled down waiting for a good wave to come her way. She quickly turned her board and started paddling as a wave drew near. Waiting for the right moment, she pushed up on the board to stand as the wave reached its peak and made the drop. As her board sliced through the water, Kagome stuck out her hand to run it across the water as she surfed though the barrel of the wave. When she came to the end, she did a couple of cut backs before the wave ended then headed back out to catch another.
Inuyasha sat on the beach and watched her. He was amazed as he watched her do a couple of cool maneuvers with her board. He remembered seeing those moves on a couple of surfing movies but never seen someone actually do before his eyes. He would love to be able to go out there and ride the waves the way she did her fluent movement mesmerized him. He sat there for what seemed like hours, studying the way she moved. He was finally brought out of his trance as the last few sunrays started to disappear and she was heading back to shore.
Kagome sat on her board and watched the sunset, watching the pink and reds mix in with the orange and yellow that slowly turned into blue and purple. Thinking about every thing going on in her life and how rapidly it was changing. But no matter how much it changes, surfing never will, that's what she loves about it. It's the only thing that takes her mind off of all the complicated things in life, the only thing that makes her feel like she is free…and the only thing that makes her feel closer to her father. Like what her father use to always say ' Life is like a wave, you can't change the way it breaks, only the way you ride it.'
She looked up to the sky and watched a cloud go by. It looked like it was almost smiling at her, so she smiled back. ' No matter what, things will get better'. With that last thought she headed back to the shore, only to see Inuyasha sitting there watching her. She froze and the only thought going through her head was ' Oh SHIT!'
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Terms:
Barrel- the part of the wave that is hollow when breaking.
Cut back- a maneuver, reversing the directions when you surf.
