Chapter 4

It was already 10:00AM and Rin was already ready to go to the beach. She walked into the living room to find Kagome and Sango sitting on the couch in their pajamas eating breakfast. They stared at her in amazement as she walked in and sat between them. She had on a black bikini with pink polka dots and white skulls on it with jean shorts that had little rips in them. She had on a black and silver chocker and black sandals. Her hair was braided into one and held in place by a black and white skull patterned scrunchie. "WOW…what a surprise it is to see you up so early." said Kagome giggling. "I agree…It's not everyday you see something like this happen." said Sango as she looked at what Rin had on. "There's nothing wrong if I decide to get up early every once in a while." replied Rin crossing her arms and rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Ha! 'Every once in a while'?? That's definitely an understatement. Talk about NEVER!" countered Sango as she and Kagome burst out laughing. "We know how anxious you are to see your precious Sesshomaru. But he seems kind of quiet and distant if you ask me." replied Kagome. "Well I like him just fine thank you very much! I never liked men who talked too much anyways" snapped Rin "Besides, I know how much he likes me already just from that wonderful kiss" she said blushing while remembering there time together. "Thank you for that bit of information but I already knew you had kissed him Rin. It wasn't hard to realize by how disheveled your hair was." replied Kagome giving Rin a sly look. "Oh really now? Well you sure don't take your time do you Rin?" said Sango with a questioning look on her face. "I'm 20 years old Sango. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it." replied Rin as she rolled her eyes. "Ok Rin, Ok, I'll leave you alone. I'm going to get ready." said Sango as she walked out of the living room and into her bedroom. "Ah yes! I should be getting ready too! It's already 11:00!" squealed Kagome as she scurried off to her room.

It had been 50 minutes before Kagome came back from out of her room. She was wearing a sky-blue bikini tie-n-dyed with white and yellow. The bikini top was very ruffled and looked like it was tied into a bow at the front. She had a yellow wrap around her waist, 3 big shiny yellow, white and blue bracelets on each of her wrists and yellow flip-flops. She also had a light blue bandana on.

"Well don't you just look kawai!" said Rin as a big bright smile spread across her face.

"Domo!" said Kagome grinning and rocking side to side as she walked over to sit next to Rin. "Hmmm…I could've sworn that Sango would've been ready before I was since she went into her room right before I did."

"I thought so too. Let's go check on her!" said Rin as she grabbed Kagome's hand and walked over to Sango's room.

"We're coming in!" Kagome warned before they walked into Sango's room. They walked in to find Sango in a raspberry colored bikini with a triangle top and a light raspberry colored sheer skirt on. There were flowers all over it in a darker shade of raspberry. She had on the same color sandals and a long silver necklace with the Japanese symbol for "Love". Her hair was held together by the very end with a small red bow, and two locks of hair fell a little more loosely over her shoulders. "Oooo! Sango! You look great!" said Kagome and Rin simultaneously as they went over to Sango each of them grabbing one of her hands. "Domo Arigato!" she replied smiling.

They all walked out of her bedroom when there was a knock at the door. "Yup that must be the guys. They are 5 minutes early." said Sango as she walked over and opened the door. Miroku was standing at the door and was staring at her in awe when his jaw dropped slightly. "Can you please stop staring like that? If you guys are ready then lets go." She said walking right pass him. "Gomen ne…demo…you're just so beautiful, it's hard not to stare." He said as she walked away from him making her turn beet red. "Come on Kagome, Rin!" shouted Inuyasha as he popped his head through the door. "We're coming!!" shouted Rin and Kagome at the same time as they scurried out of the door.

They reached the beach within minutes and they all ran out of Inuyasha's van and onto the beach. The girls ran ahead to pick a spot to lay out everything, leaving the boys alone to talk amongst themselves. "Ah…look at all of them they are all so cute. But Sango's the cutest!" sighed Miroku as he drifted into a daydream. "Hnn. I assure you, Rin is far beyond 'cute'" replied Sesshomaru. "Keh! You're both wrong because Kagome is the cutest one there! And she's all mine" replied Inuyasha with a rather large smile on his face.

The girls each laid out three large beach blankets and some 'Squiish Pillows'. They then placed the basket of food that Sesshomaru had brought on one of the blankets and then sat down to relax for awhile and enjoy a little bit of peace before the boys came. "So…are you gonna go on another date with Miroku?" said Rin looking at Sango. "I…I don't know…but he sure is a good kisser…" replied Sango, her cheeks turning a bright shade of pink. "Eh!?" Rin gasped. "NANI!? When did you guys kiss?" shouted Kagome in surprise. "Well…yesterday…I had slapped him again and he grabbed my hand before I could get away and pulled me towards him and kissed me. Although…I think he just did it to calm me down…" Sango replied, shaking her head vigorously trying to get the image out of her head. "Right Sango…he only kissed you to calm you down…" Rin agreed sarcastically. "Heehee…I'm sure that wasn't the only reason he kissed you." replied Kagome giggling. "Anyways, enough about me! How are you and Inuyasha doing Kagome?" said Sango, quickly switching the subject. "Ah…Inuyasha…he's soooo wonderful!" squealed Kagome. "I noticed you guys were about to kiss when I barged into the house yesterday. Sorry for interrupting you lovebirds." said Sango smiling. "Oh don't worry Sango. They were kissing when Sesshomaru and I cam back yesterday." stated Rin with a big grin on her face. "Oh really now!" replied Sango giggling. "Is there something so odd about Inuyasha and me kissing? It's not like I've never kissed a guy before you know" snapped Kagome rolling her eyes. "No there isn't. Excuse me…" said Rin as she stood up "I see the guys are here." "Heehee. He really does tickle her fancy doesn't he Kagome" said Sango as she watched Rin run towards Sesshomaru. "Hai. He most certainly does." agreed Kagome.

Rin suddenly ran up to them grabbing Sesshomaru's arm hugging it and smiling up at him. "Come on Sesshomaru. Let's go swim for awhile." she said making puppy dog eyes. "Sure." he replied. He took off his shirt and threw it over where they had laid the blankets. Rin stared up at his chest in amazement. "Damn!" she shouted so loud that Kagome and Sango looked up to see what had happened. They noticed her staring at Sesshomaru's firm chest. His chest was smooth perfect and he had abs to make it even better. Drool crept out of the corner of her mouth and noticing this she whipped it off quickly. "Sore wa nan desu ka? Is something wrong?" he said looking at her, a bit confused. "No…you're just soooo hot!" she said with a big grin on her face. A small grin appeared on his face and they both walked towards the sea.

"Ne, Inuyasha?" said Miroku watching Rin and Sesshomaru enter the water. "Nani?" replied Inuyasha sitting down on the blanket next to Kagome. Miroku then hesitated to sit. "It's fine if you want to sit next to me." said Sango answering the look of uncertainty in his face. Miroku smiled and sat down extremely close to her. "Yes, as I was saying…why is it that Rin acts like a child so much?" said Miroku continuing his question from earlier. "Well that's because Rin is a child at heart. She's always been so full of energy. Demo, most likely because she's also 18." Replied Kagome as she cuddled next to Inuyasha. "Wow. Hounto??" said Inuyasha and Miroku in shock. "Why does she have so much free time if she's only 18? Shouldn't she still be in college?" asked Miroku. "Rin graduated from college already. She's extremely smart and already has a degree in Graphic Designing." stated Sango as she picked up a seashell. "Well Sesshomaru always liked the young ones so I guess she's perfect for him." said Inuyasha as he held Kagome's hand.

"Ano…how old is Sesshomaru if you don't mind me asking?" said Kagome curiously as she looked up at Inuyasha. "He's 29, if I'm not mistaken." said Inuyasha scratching his head. "Oh I see…" Kagome replied. "Do you have a problem with our age differences Kagome?" asked Sesshomaru as he and Rin walked over to them. Kagome jumped in shock at the sound of his voice. "You…you know how old Rin is?" asked Sango looking at Sesshomaru. "Yes. She told me. I really don't see what the problem is being that she has even graduated already." He said as he grabbed Rin's hand. "DO you guys have a problem with it?" asked Rin glaring at her sisters. "No Rin…we just care too much." replied Kagome reassuring her. "You got that right!" snapped Rin as she pulled down Sesshomaru to sit next to her. "If you'll excuse us." said Kagome as she pulled Inuyasha towards the other end of the beach. "Come on Miroku." said Sango as she pulled Miroku up. It was hard for him to resist her pulling as she was quite strong for a girl. "D...De...Demo!" stuttered Miroku as she finally pulled him up. "Come on, Houshi-Sama! Buy me that ice cream you still owe me" said Sango giving him a small smile. "Alright" replied Miroku as he followed her.

Rin cuddled up to Sesshomaru when her sisters and the guys were out of sight. Sesshomaru ran his fingers through her long dark brown hair. He noticed how tightly she held on to him and a grin appeared on his face.

"What are you smiling about?" asked Rin noticing the smile.

"Nothing. Just how adorable you are." he replied. "Sesshomaru…" she said cuddling closer to him "Oh wow…the moon is out…and so early too." Sesshomaru looked up and saw the moon right above them.

"It's so beautiful." She stated as she looked up at it in awe.

"Just like you"

"Sesshomaru…" she said blushing. They were just about to kiss when they were interrupted by the sound of a woman's voice saying "Sesshomaru-Sama! What a pleasure it is to see you again after all these years!" The woman was fairly tall and had long black hair that was put into a bun and held in place by two jade chopsticks. She wore a purple and white kimono with a green lining underneath. The kimono was wrapped with a yellow obi, and she had on jade colored beaded earrings and sandals. She also had on dark purple eye shadow that complimented the color of her eyes. Sesshomaru's eyes widened in shock at the woman who stood before them.

"Kagura ka?" he replied.

"I'm so honored that you remember me." replied Kagura with a grin on her face.

"Hnn."

"Ano…Sesshomaru…who is this strangely dressed woman?" asked Rin as she wrapped her arms around him as if to say 'He's mine so back off!' "She's…an old acquaintance." He replied glaring at Kagura. "Oh Sesshomaru-Sama, don't be like that. You know very well how close our families are" said Kagura as she bent over in front of him exposing her cleavage. She then turned to Rin and said "We've known each other ever since we were children." "I don't give a damn how long you've known him for!" snapped Rin, hugging Sesshomaru tighter.

"Why are you here?" said Sesshomaru, a hint of irritability in his voice "How did you find me?"

"Myouga-san told me where you and Inuyasha-Sama were." replied Kagura.

"Hnn…I will remember to speak to Myouga later…" thought Sesshomaru.

"Your parents request that you and Inuyasha-Sama return home immediately." She stated again. "I have already found Inuyasha and told him this; He has already left to go get his car and is waiting for you."

"Nande?" asked Sesshomaru with a puzzled look on his face.

"Gomen ne…I did not think to ask…and I rushed over because I longed to see you again." replied Kagura blushing slightly.

"So desu ka?" he replied ignoring Kagura's last statement. He stood up and turned to Rin. Rin stood up also, staring at him with a questioning look on her face. "Rin, I must go now. When you and your sisters are ready to leave the driver from yesterday will be waiting for you. I will notify him." He then kissed her on the lips and walked off. Kagura walked off next to him, too close for comfort. "Sesshomaru? Sesshomaru!?" Rin cried as she watched him leave with Kagura.
