Beautiful Morning with You
Author's note: . Yeah… It's been a while. Long time no see, right::dodges random objects:: Hey hey hey… I'll make this note really long if you keep that up:D
Well… I made the Drinking game short than I wanted it but longer than I expected. Did that make sense? Possibly not, but it's late and I really wanted this chapter out. This chapter was originally going to be longer but I figured I could give you two moderately long chapters instead of one exttttrrraaa long chapter. See you get more than you bargained for… So the next chapter should be out fairly early and the one after that is already in progress, promise, promise.
I'll let you get started, yeah?
Track 6: Best of You
Kagome stalked out of the pool-house lividly.
That bastard!!
How dare he?! If he had just let her be, she would have, eventually, remembered her discarded clothes. Did he have to be such an asshole about it? Come on, really! He had absolutely no room for complaints after having seen her ta-tas. Ungrateful prick. She growled and readjusted the backpack on her shoulder and redirected her attention to her nails as she passed as far from Sesshoumaru's table as humanly possible (without sliding super-secret-spy style against the fence on the other side of the compound). Through the corner of her eye she could see him looking at her through hooded eyes and that god awful smirk (that wasn't really so god awful when not considering what he was smirking at) on his face. She wanted nothing more than to beat it off of him but settled for stamping down the flowers in her path and massacring a few ants in her anger. She'd wait until she got to her friends to throw a real tantrum.
During her mental anguish she was almost knocked off of her feet when two figures crashed into her legs.
"KAGOMEEEE!!"
"KAGOME!"
Shippou was latched onto her leg and tugging on the football jersey she was wearing on top of her swimsuit.
Souta was pulling on her arm to get her attention. "Kagome! Make Kohaku stop! Make him stop! He's making me crazy!!" he cried.
"Kagome! I have cooties! Souten gave me cooties!!" Shippou babbled at the same time.
Did they have to talk at the same time? And wasn't Shippou a little too young for cooties? She sighed and did what she could. "Circle, circle, dot, dot; now you have your cootie shot. Now get out of here. Go play," she said, poking his arm.
His eyes widened in awe before running off, yelling at the little girl, "You can't put your cooties on me anymore!! Kagome gave me a cootie shot!!"
Kagome shook her head and turned to Souta. "Come. Walk with me to the food table and tell me your problems, little brother," she said leading the way, as far from Sesshoumaru (conniving shit that he was…), to get to her destination.
Kagome picked up a long piece of BBQ ribs and asked, "What's the matter?" before taking a bite.
"Well, Kohaku told me that I should back off of Rin-"
She gave him a critical eye. "You like Rin?"
He blushed and said a bit too defensively if you asked her, "What?! No! Of course not!!"
"Of course not," she said sarcastically and added, "Go on…" when he shot her a dirty look, hands up in a hands-off gesture.
Souta took a deep breath and decided on what to say. "He said that it isn't fair that both of my sisters are going to marry into the Taishou family." He peeked at her through his bangs. "Is that true?"
Kagome nearly dropped her ribs. "What? Of course not! I'm not going to marry InuYasha because we don't like each other that way and Kikyo's not going to marry Sesshoumaru…because that just wouldn't be right." Kagome resolved that it would be best to take a bite out of her ribs before she dropped them. At least then they would not have been wasted in vain…
"Aren't you going to marry Sesshoumaru? That's what Kohaku said. He said you were going to marry Sesshoumaru and that Kikyo was going to marry InuYasha," He said a bit off handedly.
Kagome's mouth hung open in surprise. "What? No! What in the world would ever posses you to even think that?"
He eyed her skeptically. "So, that wasn't Sesshoumaru who walked out of the pool house a few minutes before you?"
She made an indignant sound as she gaped around, wide eyed and open mouthed in distress. "Well, yeah but it's not like we're an item or anythi-"
She was stopped by the rich baritone voice of the object of her loath. "Are you going to eat that?" And with that the ribs she was were snatched from her clutches and he walked away. Great! How would that look to Souta?
She turned to see him with a devastated aura about him. She gave him what she hoped was a reassuring smile. "That wasn't what it looked like."
He started to breathe heavily. "Oh my God! He was right!! I'll never ever be able to talk to Rin again!"
"Now, Souta, even if that were what it looked like, which it wasn't, Kikyo and InuYasha are nowhere near any sort of that kind of relationship-"
"Hey InuYasha!" they heard their sister call, a little ways away from them, to InuYasha, who was standing a little too close and being a little too attentive. "Can you tie the back of my swimsuit? It got a little loose."
He shrugged, "Anything for you, bab- I mean Kikyo."
Souta turned back to Kagome who shrugged innocently. "That in no way shape or form constitutes as a relationship."
Souta, for his part, started to hyperventilate.
Kagome glared at him. "Now stop that! Quit being a Drama Queen or I'm calling mom…" She sighed. "Take deep breaths, fooo huuff foooo huuuffff" He calmed a bit. "Ok, now listen, and listen good. Don't listen to a damn thing that Kohaku tells you because it's not true. Even if we were marrying into their family, which we're not, it's not up to him to decide who talks to whom or who marries whom, get it? Besides, who Rin marries is her decision." She patted his shoulder and said, "Now shoo, get out of here…"
He looked some what enlightened as he scrambled over to the other kids.
Kagome shook her head and sighed while thinking about the imaginations some kids had these days and what perverted thoughts too (she also lamented the loss of her Ribs…)! What could they have possibly thought that she and Sesshoumaru were doing? Really! She blamed TV for that. But other than that what had them thinking she and Sesshoumaru were going to get married? Or Kikyo and InuYasha for that matter…Those were two marriages that, even forced, were doomed to failure. Ok, well perhaps if InuYasha and Kikyo got married it would last little bit (she'd give them 2 years tops). But if there ever was to be union between the two of them; one (or both), would be six feet under within days of their nuptials.
And while, perhaps, Kagome and Sesshoumaru had been close friends back before his dad remarried (because Mr. Higuarshi and Mr. Taishou were good friends the families stayed close). Their friendship and any other form of civility had burned and died the day of the wedding, when a little Sesshoumaru pushed a little Kagome into the lake behind the reception hall. She wasn't going to forgive him for that. EVER!
As a matter of fact, Kagome doubted she bathed at all for years after that.
She shook her mind free of those thoughts. No use in thinking on something that was never going to happen. Kagome was there to get laid and get out.
Oh how morals have left us.
Besides if she kept on with her train of thought she might just explode from all of the negativity.
She walked over to her posse.
"Oh GOD! Kagome!" Sango exclaimed upon seeing her. "I'm so sorry!! Miroku called me away and I totally forgot to go back!" She looked up at her guiltily hoping Kagome wouldn't blow up in her face about having to walk out with her top poorly tied. "Did you need me?"
Kagome rolled her eyes and said, if only Sango knew. "I was fine, but you and I are going to have a serious talk later."
"Um- Okay?" Sango looked around the group fearfully.
"Jakotsu," Bankotsu called from his side. Jakotsu looked up from his vogue to see Bankotsu, Hiten and Kouga nearly upon them. Now, why hadn't anyone noticed him? He shook his head, bunch of useless son's of-
"What do you need, Bankotsu?" He asked returning to the colorful pages of divas and fashion. Really, Bankotsu never bothered with him unless he needed something. 'Can you tell me what kind of clothes I should wear?' 'Mom and dad don't want to let me go out. Can you distract them for me?' 'Jakotsu, what do girls look for in a guy?' That kind of crap got old really fast.
"We were wondering if you guys wanted to play some games with us." Bankotsu said advertedly, while looking around at the odd-ball group in front of him.
"What are we five?" Ayame asked. "We're not going to play hide and seek with you guys if that's what you're asking."
Kouga sneered at her. "Hey that's a good idea! Why don't you go and hide? Don't come out 'til we find you!"
Ayame sneered back at him, "Retard."
"I wouldn't mind playing hide 'n seek…" Kagome mumbled. Sango turned and nodded back at her.
Bankotsu shot them a dirty look. "We were thinking of something more mature. Are you guys in?"
Sango shrugged. "Sure, whatever. Count us in. Call us when you're going to start."
Bankotsu smiled and tipped his cap at her. "Thank you, Miss Sango. We'll be back when the old people go in for Whiskey and the kids go in for movies." And with that he and his two monkeys walked away.
Kagome turned to Sango. "Your Dad drinks?"
She shrugged. "Only to look cool."

"What are we going to play?" Kikyo asked easing her way into the pool next to Naraku, eyeing her sister. "Spin the bottle?"
Hiten laughed pulling out various bottles of alcoholic beverages. "Not just yet. We have to finish the contents before we can spin it."
"Then what are we playing?" Jakotsu asked.
Kagome groaned. She could see the game coming a mile away. "Please God, no."
"Oh yeah!" Kouga said with a smirk. "It's the 'I've Never' game."
Kagome lowered herself to her nose into the pool, 'Crap.' Kagome's personal experiences with the game weren't exactly photo-album, 'let's-write-about-it-in-my-blog' worthy moments.
"Who's going to start?" Jakotsu asked.
"You mentioned it, why don't you start?" Suikotsu said looking around nervously. He really didn't want to start again after what happened last time.
"Oookay," Jakotsu looked pensive. "I've never…had a lap dance." There was a collective moan amongst the boys.
"You're going to start us off early, fairy?" someone yelled and he frowned. "This is a drinking game isn't it?"
Kagome mimicked the frown on his face as she distinctively remembered a certain time, on one of her birthdays, where Sango and Jakotsu tied her up and had InuYasha, Miroku and Jinenji do an embarrassing little jig (well for her, anyway. They seemed to find it hilarious) in her lap and, well, another time at a gay club, but she really didn't want to get into that.
She looked to him with a glare and whispered harshly to him, "I loathe you…" But it wasn't like that would prevent her from drinking, which she did. She gave an 'ahhgh!!!' as the liquor slid down her throat harshly. She looked up to see everyone outside her group look at her with surprise. "What?" she asked tentatively. What was their problem anyway?
"You are definitely full of surprises, Kagome." Bankotsu said with a seductive smirk on his face.
Kagome blushed and scrunched her nose up in his direction. "Oh like you haven't…Is anyone else going to go or are we going to sit around and reminisce about each other's 'special' moments?"
There was a collective murmur and Jakotsu said. "All right, all right…We're gonna go counter clockwise. It's your turn Kagome."
She shook her head in dismay at him. "You couldn't have just picked Bankotsu, could you?"
"Blood is thicker than water, Kagome." He sighed. "Besides look at him, he has no idea what he's going to say." The both turned to look at Bankotsu who was deep in thought, mulling over what could only be random thoughts. Kagome shook her head and thought, 'then why play?' in a haughty, rather angry way, to herself.
She clicked her tongue and started. "Well, I've never…worn a thong." And she wasn't surprised to see Kikyo, Ayame, Sango or Jakotsu, for that matter, throw her a dirty look over their glasses while they drank. If did, however, come as a surprise when Kouga, Bankotsu, Suikotsu, and Sesshoumaru took a drink. How wrong was that? Really…what did they wear that required a thong? She shook her head of such thoughts before they went in a different direction…
Like Kouga in drag.
No! Stop it!!
(She also saw Miroku drink but she could only guess why (or for who) he did that…Oh look she's next…)
"Ooh!! My turn!! My turn!!" Sango exclaimed excitedly. "I've never played Silent Hill."
Bankotsu's head snapped in her direction, "What?!"
Sango's mouth curled in a sneer. "Hey, I thought this game was open to all 'I've Never's'…"
He shook his head. "No, Fool! Why?! That had to be the best video game series of all time!!"
"Because it was scary…Retard," she said with a perfect impression of a valley-girl.
"Sango? Afraid of a video game?" Kouga was appalled.
Ayame turned a scoff on him. "Oh, Shut up, Kouga! I seem to remember your mother complaining about a jacked up electricity bill after you played Resident Evil 4."
Kouga looked away and mumbled. "Like no else did that…" There were several hoots and boo's in his direction, but Kagome didn't blame him. That game was pretty scary. She'd been in the room with Souta as he played and there was just something about Spanish-speaking-zombies that scared the crap out of her. But she did play Silent Hill for a bit and so she drank up.
"Shut up! Shut up! I've got a good one," Miroku yelled. He cleared his throat and said proudly, "I've never looked at online porn."
"You're a fuckin' liar!" Bankotsu yelled. "There's no way in hell that is even possible."
"It's true. Considering your perverted consistency and the availability of online pornography, the chances of that are highly unlikely," Suikotsu chimed.
Miroku looked at him in shock. "What? Well, if you must know I've never had a home computer, nerd." He hooted, albeit a little loudly, to himself. "Ooh, that's two of them…I can use the second one for later."
"Isn't that a penalty?" Kouga asked.
Miroku frowned. "Since when has the 'I've never' game had a penalty?"
Kouga nodded. "That is true…"
Miroku howled. "That's right bitches! Drink up!!"
Sesshoumaru shot Kagome a look and she shot one back, he didn't honestly expect her to drink, did he? 'Online porn,' she mouthed to him. He frowned but let it be to take a drink. Kagome shook her head. Hmph, boys and their silly online websites…
InuYasha's shoulders were slumped forward and he was biting on his bottom lip, before he said. "I've never lived on a shrine before."
"Come on, InuYasha! That's not fair!!" Kikyo whined.
He laughed. "Sorry, Sorry! But it's about time Kagome let loose a little."
Kagome gave an indignant cry as Miroku groaned. "Not cool, not cool at all. You suck major bollas." As it was a known fact that Miroku's father owned a shrine somewhere on the other side of town.
But the three drank anyway, mumbling curses about a certain friend using cheap-shots.
Ayame laughed. "Well if we're trying to get Kagome drunk; I've never collected tea sets."
"Oh, that's a load of crap!" Kagome cried out in outrage. That was a really low blow!! Some friends she had!!
"I second that." Kikyo piped in what could have been mistaken for sisterly concern. Too bad everyone knew her a little too well. People within the group turned to look at her questionably. "What? She's my sister. I'm the only one who can gang up on her during a game…" But Kagome knew the truth. As it turns out, before Kagome started collecting tea sets, it was Kikyou who was doing all the collecting.
Kagome blamed her dirty habit on her mother.
When Kikyo got out of the tea sets in favor of clothes and shoes, Kagome's mother wanted to keep the collection going. One day at a coffee shop, Kagome saw a teapot, two cup set and remarked on its cuteness. That Christmas she got it.
It was all down hill from there.
"Just do it," InuYasha said, putting the glass before her. She turned to look at her sister who looked back at her imploringly. Kagome huffed as, 'What has that bitch ever done for me?' While having her preferences known by the public didn't bother Kagome very much, she was sure that it would embarrass the crap out of Kikyo, who was, at the moment, kind of reminding her of a puppy. Ooh those nastily disgustingly cute eyes!! Damn them!
Kagome tsked and gave a bob of her head before she took the shot.
Kouga laughed. "Are we getting Kagome drunk? For real? I don't know what to say…"
Ayame leaned forward and whispered in his ear. He turned disbelieving eyes to her and gasped, "NO!"
"Yes!" Ayame laughed back.
Kagome glared at her so-called 'friend,' "What the hell are you telling him? What lie are you telling him?!?!"
Kouga cleared his throat. "I've never been in a bed with two men before."
Kagome's mouth dropped and hoots came from the circle. "You asshole! There was nothing to tell about that!!"
Jakotsu shrugged and took a drink. Big surprise there. Surprisingly Bankotsu took an inconspicuous swig. Kouga turned to look at him. "Oh Bankotsu, not you too."
"I've got four brothers, ass-wipe!!"
"I've never flashed anyone," said Sesshoumaru in true Sesshoumaru form, not waiting for anyone. He looked at Kagome, a look in his eyes challenging her to defy him. Kagome already feeling the weight of the shots on her she glared at him.
"Ya know, if you all are going to be that way I'd might as well just drink whatever's left in the damn bottle." And true to her word, she downed the rest of the contents. She signified the end of the tequila with a sway and a burp.
"Who have you flashed?" someone asked.
"Who haven't I flashed?" she burped.
"Not me…" Kouga and Bankotsu said dejectedly.
She swayed a little and pointed. "You were obviously not at spring break '04." and added as an afterthought, "or '06."
Jakotsu shook his head and said, "Man, that was a good year. Good times. Good times."
Authors Note: See… Do you see what I do for you? . It seems everyone has been in a slump for the past 3 months. Hopefully this means that not just me but everyone will start writing again.

(ALso for some reason.. The thingy for my hearts doesn't work, so if you see a three 3 it's supposed to be heart...)
