Chapter 3:

The party had gone on. Kagome had given Inuyasha a taste of every drink, while Sango and Miroku decided to stick with the Pina Coladas. Inuyasha then asked Sam to make him a Pina Colada so he would have his own whil Kagome drank to rest of the Martini and then started on the Margarita. Kagome had made sure Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha all got something to eat. Inuyasha tended to go towards the borger more than the hot dog though, thinking they were really cooking dog meat, which Kagome quickly corrected him, telling him it was pig meat, and they just called them hot dogs.

Koga basically stayed by Sam the whole time. Then Sam started some music, putting a Jimmy Buffet CD in their boom box.

"So, are you having fun so far?" Sam asked Koga.

"Kinda. I mean, I'm glad I'm here, butI'm not used to this time and everything in it." Koga replied.

"I understand. It's hard to get used to it at first, especially the clothes they wear in this time compared to the past, but we got used to it." Sam said

"Are you and Aaron... umm..." Koga couldn't seem to find the word for it.

"No! No no. We're cousins. We just live together on this boat 'cause no one else would be able to help him out with it if I didn't come here and help him. Not to mention it's pretty nice to live on a boat. You get to go all over the place, don't have to pay rent or anything, just enough for gas, food, and a few other things. And I would rather jump into a feeding frenzy of charks then deal with all the humans on the shore. God. We give bost rides everywhere to earn money, and I can barely handle those people." Sam explained.

Koga chuckled. "I guess you really don't like human too much then."

"No. I really don't. I'm not the most social person in the worls either." Sam replied.

"You're talking to me quite a bit now." Koga said.

"Yeah, but you're a wolf. Not a human." Sam stated.

"Good point." Koga said with another chuckle. He couldn't believe he was even starting to forget about Kagome and the mutt for a minute. Then he heard someone calling Sam and she stood up.

"Oh! Come on. The shows about to start." Sam said as she grabbed hold of Koga's arm and pulled him to the center of the deck.

"And now a song given to you by Samantha." Aaron said into a microphone before he handed it to Sam. Then she started to sing into it.

I used to think that life was all about the Joneses
Trying to find a way to just keep up some how
I had to have it, do it, be it, had to own it
A little secret that I finally figured out

We spend so much time climbing up the ladder
And then we're missing all the things that really matter

I've got my two feet on the ground
Breathin' in and breathin' out
Oh yeah
Life is good
I'm gonna grab on to today
Live every minute in the way I know I should
Life is good

I like to move, I like to run, I like to get it done
Or I can stay home on the couch and watch tv
Give me sunshine, give me rain, it makes no diffence to me
It's all the same, all the same to me

Call me simple, call me crazy
I believe that it's all in what we make yah

I've got my two feet on the ground
Breathin' in and breathin' out
Oh yeah
Life is good
I'm gonna grab on to today
Live every minute in the way I know I should
Life is good

Call me simple, call me crazy
I believe that it's all in what we make yah

I've got my two feet on the ground
Breathin' in and breathin' out
Oh yeah
Life is good
I'm gonna grab on to today
Live every minute in the way I know I should
Life is good

Everyone clapped for Sam before spoke. "OK. This one is for a couples dance. And I'm picking who's dancing with who. Kagome, you're with Inuyasha. Sango, I wanna see you with Miroku. And Miroku, if you touch her ass, you're shark bait, I swear it.Everyone else is fair game. Aaron, I wanna see you out there with someone though. And Hojo, you too. Koga, I'll dance with you next song, since I won't be singing the next song." Sam said into the microphone before sang.

You turn around
Then you ask me behind tears of doubt
Just what do I see in you
Please don't cry
I know sometimes it seems we barely get by
But you don't see how much you do
To get me through

Miroku looked at Sango. "May I have this dance?" He asked as he held out his hand. Then he noticed how reluctant Sango was to give him her hand, though she did. "I won't grope you. I promise. I promised Kagome I wouldn't grope anyone during this trip that she has brought us on, and I am a man of my word." He said as he pulled her out on the dance floor and wrapped an arm around Sango's waist and held her hand in the other while she put her free hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go Inuyasha." Kagome said as she snatched Inuyasha's hand andpulled him out onto the deck floor where everyone was dancing. Hojo and Aaron were dancing too, only with each other. Kagome's guessed that Mina and Keiko wouldn't dance. Kagome let go of Inuyasha for a minute to grab her camera and get a picture.

"You're not going to show that to anyone, are you Kagome?" Hojo asked, a look of fear on his face.

"I just might." Kagome said as she put her camera away, walking back to Inuyasha as she ignored Hojo begging and he wrapped an arm around Kagome and grabbed her hand, while Kagome put her free hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. "You know how to dance?" Kagome asked.

"My mother, as royalty, made me learn how to dance. I had to for when she had those stupid parties." Inuyasha replied, then Kagome remembere how Myoga told her that his mother had been a princess. Did that mean Inuyasha was a prince? Wow. She was dancing with royalty, well, sort of. Then Inuyasha suddenly spun her around before pulling her bck to him and dipping her head back, holding her in his arms, surprising Kagome.

"Umm... I think you're a better dancer than me." Kagome chuckled.

When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love

I apologize
If I never told you what you are in my eyes
Oh baby, let me tell you now
Every day
Looks sweeter knowing you'll be there in every way
Now how can you say that's not enough

'Cause when the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And it feels I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love

You give me

Everything my heart desires
Morning sun and midnight fires
Someone there to share my dreams
With you I have everything

When the world is cold
And I need a friend to hold
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love
You give me love

Yeah, when my world is cold
And I need a friend to hold me
You give me love
You give me love
And when my hope is gone
And I feel I can't go on
You pick me up
You give me love

Then Sam put the microphone away and put her Jo Dee Mesinna CD in, playing a good slow song before walking over to Koga. "Let's dance." She said as she took Koga's hands, surprising him obviously, for he had been watching Inuyasha twirl Kagome all over the place. Where did the mutt learn how to dance and when? Koga obviously didn't know much about Inuyasha. But he let Sam take his hands and lead him onto the dance floor as the music played. He was really enjoying himself as Sam taught him how to dance. Maybe he would be able to show off in front of the mutt sometime. Then he stepped on a bump and realized he was stepping on Sam's feet.

"Sorry." He apologized

"It's OK." Sam replied. "It's your first time dancing, isn't it?"

"Yeah. But I see that Mutt and wonder when he ever learned how to dance. He really doesn't seem like he would take the time to learn how to dance. Even if it was for Kagome." Koga said.

"You guys are a lot alike though." Sam said, even she could tell, and she ha only met them this morning. Then the song ended and they pulled apart. "Thanks for the dance. You did pretty good for your first time."

"Thanks." Koa said.

"Ahem!" Aaron said into the microphone. "And now, since everyone has had food, and a little dancing, and their drinks, boys are welcome in my room and girls are welcome in Sam's room. Have a good night."

AN- THe slumber party is coming. I'm just tired and need to get to bed soon. So... Plz R&R. Thanx! TTFN!
