Catching A Wave
Chapter 11

Sesshomaru yawned. This is the one thing he didn't like about owning a hotel. He had to get up early. Slowly, he got up and turned on the coffee machine. After that, he took a shower. Once he was finished with that, he poured himself a cup of coffee. Picking up the newspaper, he began to read the front article. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock. He looked over at the picture. There was Inuyasha and Kagome dancing, singing, sitting. Then, there was a picture of Miroku and Sango there as well. He read the article.

"The Annual Beach Party was a great success. Profits were tripled from last years. This year the cutest couple were Inuyasha and Kagome. This year the cutest couple sang a karaoke song together. The song was "At the Beginning". Immediately after they got off stage, Inuyasha's and Kagome's best friends Miroku and Sango made an appearance by singing "Have A Little Faith in Me." The DJ, Ayame Wolfe, said this. "'I have never seen best friends be so close and be having a romantic interest in each other without a problem. These teens amazed me, not only in their friendship, but their singing abilities as well. It was obvious that the couples were together.'" Congratulations to the four friends. We hope you four have successful futures together."

Sesshomaru looked at the paper and pictures again. He smirked as he stepped out of his room. He walked up to Rin's door and knock. When Rin opened the door, seeing Sesshomaru smirking.

"Have you read today's paper?"

She shook her head.

Sesshomaru handed the paper over to Rin. Rin read the front page, smiling.

"Awww... that's so cute," she said as she looked at the pictures.

Rin handed the paper back to Sesshomaru when she saw the look in his eye.

"Oh no. You wouldn't."

Sesshomaru's eyes looked at her. "I wouldn't?"


Inuyasha woke up to some banging on his door. He was about to see who it was when something was slipped under the door. Looking at it oddly, he walked over and picked it up. It was a newspaper clipping with a note on the front.

It said: I can't believe my half brother is deciding to grow up and actually start doing things.

Inuyasha looked confused by the note and then he looked at the newspaper.

"Crap."

Miroku, groggily, sat up. "What's that?"

Inuyasha showed it to him. "Crap." Miroku said.

"That's right. What if the girls see this?"

"It doesn't matter. Nothing's going on, right?"

"Right."

Just then, Inuyasha heard a knock on a nearby door. He slightly opened the door whenever he saw Sesshomaru slip something under the girls door.

"Sesshomaru." Inuyasha growled.

Sango woke up to much screaming and yelling outside of their door. She looked over at Kagome who was looking at the door.

"Sesshomaru, you son of a..."

"Before you finish that statement let me remind you, it would be offending you too."

"...gun. Why did you do this?"

"It's all in good humor, little brother."

"Whatever. I swear I'm going to kick your butt."

Kagome opened the door. "Why are you two yelling outside of my damn door this early in the freaking' morning?"

They both widened there eyes in surprise. They had never heard Kagome curse.

"Man... someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Inuyasha mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, wench." Inuyasha looked behind her on the floor was the paper. He quickly grabbed it and began to walk back to his room.

"What was that, Inuyasha?" Kagome said going after him.

"None of your business."

Kagome snatched it out of his hand. "It was on MY floor."

He snatched it back and shut his door in her face, locking it.

"Inuyasha, open this door right now."

Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome and rolled his eyes. Taking out his master key, he unlocked the door.

"If Inuyasha has already destroyed it, I'll get another copy."

"Thanks."

After a while of trying to get Inuyasha to give her the paper, she had finally stole it from him. She read it and blushed.

"That's what you were hiding? It's not that big of a deal." Kagome said.

"Not a big deal? Everyone in this city thinks we're a couple." Inuyasha huffed.

"It's gossip, Inuyasha. I'm sure not everyone believes it."

"Feh."

Miroku came in followed by Sango. "What do you want to do today?" Miroku asked.

"Well, I want to teach Kagome the basics of surfing and maybe try a little today." Inuyasha stated.

"Okay. We'll have to find a surf shop." Sango said.

"Well, we better get going."

Sesshomaru gave them directions to a good surf shop. They all drove there. Going inside, they saw the variety of boards. Not only surf boards, but skateboards, accessories, clothing, posters. The whole nine yards. They browsed the store. Sango was pointing out some quality boards. Inuyasha and Miroku was checking out some sunglasses, clothes, and watches. Kagome was checking through the boards. She found a board that looked cool. It had a pure black background and a dragon with red eyes staring. Kagome lifted out the board.

"Good choice. It's durable and has an awesome design."

Miroku called Kagome and Sango over. They walked over. "Okay, Inuyasha wants your opinion on something."

Inuyasha came out of the dressing room. He had on some Electric sunglasses that fit his face perfectly. He put on a muscle shirt with a Zero Skateboarding logo. (If you don't know Zero, they have a shirt that's pitch black with a skull next to the Zero Logo.) He had some Jinco's pants. To finish it off, he had on some black Nike shoes. Sango nodded in approval. "It looks awesome."

Kagome nodded in agreement. She saw the muscle shirt and thought he looked good. Then, when she looked up It was just very good looking on him. Kagome nudged Sango. Sango already knew what she wanted. They turned and whistled. "Man... lookin' sexy there."

Inuyasha blushed. "Shut up. Should I get it?"

They nodded. "Yeah."

Inuyasha smiled. "Thanks."

He went back into the changing room. Miroku was smirking. "I already know what he's going to do."

"What?"

"He's going to realize that stuff isn't cheap. Then, he'll be a kiss ass until I lone him some money."

"Why don't you just not let him be a kiss ass and let him keep some dignity?"

"Because it's too fun watching him grovel."

They laughed. Inuyasha came out of the changing rooms. "Whoa... I guess I need to put these glasses back. They're like $70."

"The sunglasses are like the best touch, though."

"All well, I'll get them next time."

Miroku's eyes widened. Inuyasha wasn't asking him for money.

Inuyasha went up to pay for it. Miroku walked next to him. "Do you want the sunglasses?"

"Yeah."

"I can get them for you."

"Good."

Miroku walked back over to get the glasses. Inuyasha smirked.

"What are you smirking at?"

"I knew he would buy them for me. I heard him say I'm a kiss ass."

Sango and Kagome laughed. Inuyasha eyes the board. "Looks awesome. How long is it?"

"6' 10"

"That seems right for you."

Out of the back room, a cashier came out. Her outfit was WAY to tight. Inuyasha looked away in disgust. She began to scan up the items. "That would be $104. 65."

Inuyasha pulled out his wallet. Opening it, he took out a hundred dollar bill and a five. While he was taking it out, clearly not wanting to look at her. The cashier squatted down a bit to see his face. "I thought that was you. You danced awesome at the party last night." she said in a very trying to be seductive voice.

"Uhh..."

"I'm Kikyo."

"Uh... okay. It's... uh... nice to meet you... I guess."

Kikyo pulled off his receipt and bagged his clothes, handing them to him.

"Thanks for shopping. Come at anytime."

Miroku went up to the cashier setting the sunglasses on the table. "You're Miroku." she said.

"Yeah... do I know you from somewhere?"

"You're in my dreams every night."

Sango's face scrunched up in disgust. "Nasty skank." she said.

She scanned the glasses and he paid.

"Come back soon."

They walked out of the store.

All of them grimaced in disgust.

"Man... that's one nasty whore."

"I think she's a prostitute."

"I've never seen someone more perverted that Miroku."

"Slut."

Miroku opened his bag, handing Inuyasha his sunglasses and noticing something on the receipt. He took it out and looked at it.

"Nasty..."

"What?"

"She wrote her phone number on my receipt."

Everyone looked at the receipt. Inuyasha pulled out his and cringed.

They got in their car, heading for the beach. On their way, they thought of every name in the book for the 'cashier-gone-wrong.'
