Chapter four; Liquid Lilly's
Kagome finished packing her bathing suit into her ratty suitcase that she had to buy from a thrift store last night,
"Have you ever been to a thrift store at 9 at night? Have you Sango, I didn't even know there where that many shady characters inhabited Japan, but I'll tell you this they hold their annual meetings at 9 at night in front of a thrift store!" Kagome ranted to her roommate turned best-friend.
"Kagome, I think you need to take some deep breathes" Sango said laughing, while pulling up to a stop sign in their rental care they got for the weekend.
They were going to a resort Sango's mother ran, it was actually rather exclusive, but Kagome and Sango got the special "Friends and Family Discount" AKA; free.
Kagome read the sign that was rapidly approaching
"Liquid Lilly's Spa and Beach Resort: Two Miles" Kagome read aloud and squealed, excited to escape her stressful reality.
Kagome held onto her seat as Sango whipped into her parking lot, stealing a spot that some jerks in an overly large SUV obviously wanted, Kagome couldn't help the tear that escaped her eye while they were hysterically laughing.
Inuyasha and Miroku decided to take a trip to an exclusive spa and resort Inuyasha's brother's wife told him about, Rin, sweet girl very cheery, she was to say the least, the antithesis of Sesshomaru. Inuyasha pulled into the parking lot and had his eye on a nifty little parking spot way by the front, but right as he was about to pull in, one of those tiny little smart cars beat him to it, he should've just pulled in anyway, ran them, and they're wimpy car over, his ears picked up on laughter, and he realized, they were mocking them, while he'd give them a piece of his mind.
That's when it happened, when Miroku saw the women he'd be spending his life with, when the driver of the car got out trotted to the back of the car, after glaring at Inuyasha, his heart stop, his hands god clammy and for the first time in his life, he got butterflies "I think I'm ganna throw up" Miroku stammered.
Inuyasha couldn't respond he could only stay in his seat wide eyed, mouth agape, because there, getting out the passenger side was Kagome Higurashi.
"Hey! Inuyasha! Look it's Kagome, I think." Miroku exclaimed, narrowing his eyes at who he was sure of was Kagome, "Yes it totally is," Before Inuyasha could protest Miroku got out of the SUV and ran in Kagome's direction.
"Hey! Kagome! Wait up! It's me! Miroku" Miroku yelled while jogging to where the girls had gotten to on the side walk, slowed down by their luggage.
"Miroku? No way" Kagome yelled, flinging herself into his arms for a friendly embrace only meant for a friend she hadn't seen in so long, years, 8 years.
"It can't be, God Kagome, you look great, you know I don't want to upset you, but Inuyasha's here, I don't know if you've seen him recently, but brace yourself because here he comes." Miroku tried to rush through the last part of his sentence and hoped he was out of ear shot.
"Oh Inuyasha Hello" She smiled and extended her hand out for a handshake, a much less friendly gesture then what she just gave the lecherous man next to her.
Inuyasha huffed and jumped out of his SUV after finally finding a parking spot he got out of his car in time to see Kagome pulling Miroku into a hug, and Inuyasha felt a spark of jealousy after remembering his reunion with Kagome, and how it was nothing like that. Inuyasha trudged up to the group of four and Kagome extended her hand and offered him a small smile,
'it's better than the cold shoulder she was giving me at work all week' He thought to himself he smiled and pulled his hand back and touched it and he could still feel the warmth of hers.
Kagome watched his gesture and laughed inwardly, remembering her prom night, and how she touched her cheek, she couldn't help but revel in the sight, but then guilt followed her joy, almost immediately.
'I shouldn't let him have this old over me' she thought
'I still love him' she thought
'it doesn't matter' she knew.
Subconsciously she rose her hand to her cheek and let a smile grace her lips, and then her eyes locked with Inuyasha, and she couldn't break the connection, they both knew what the other was thinking.
Hope you liked it! I sure liked writing it.
