I'm sorry for not updating but I have exams and I really need to revise. My first one is on 17th January, next Thursday, and it's a retake, meaning that I failed once already and this is my second and final chance to pass and I need to get an A. This is all my Chemistry teachers fault. The whole class failed cause of him and I hope he never reads that!

To clear up any confusion that may arise from this chapter about their ages.

Kagome - 17

Sango - 18

Hana - 18

Strea - 19

Sango and Hana have one more year of school left before they can go to University. Strea had finished High school and is now looking for a University to attend. Kagome skipped a grade in America, that's how they met Strea, and is now looking for a University too.

.

Strea & Hana are Stephy and Hannah. Don't worry, they won't interfere with any of the Inu-Yasha character pairings.

Chapter 4 - Sunny Day Musings.

"- Look all around, nothing but blue skies."

A silvery voice sang through the cornflower blue air, unmarred by any patch of white. It rang clear and true, reaching through the park and causing those who heard it to look up at the endless blue and smile. Laughter, as clear and musical as that whimsical phrase followed. It danced on the cool quiet breeze that swirled with the grass and flowers and tree leaves, bringing relief form the heat of the sun. The park was dotted with people enjoying the weather. They lay on the beach by the lake or were in it attempting the water sports. They strolled down the shaded pathways or along the gardens admiring the flowers. Or lazed on the fields with trees spotted about providing shade. It was from under one of these trees, towards the edge of a field near a small wooded area, that the musical phrase and laughter had come from.

"Summer holidays at last"

"Mmmhmmm…."

"Hey, wake up"

A group of four girls sprawled over the grass underneath a large willow tree, the willow strands swaying in the breeze and dappling the light, concealing them from normal view. The one who had just spoke leaned over and lightly shoved the girl across from her, who had blue streaks in her hair. The girl gave a start and sat up.

"What did you do that for?" She was indignant about being shoved from no reason.

"You were falling asleep" The other replied.

"I was not! I was just enjoying the ambience here"

At this the other two of the group burst into giggles.

"You were falling asleep Kagome admit it." Said a blonde with orange streaks in her hair.

"Well, maybe just a little." Kagome replied. She ran a hand through her sapphire and aqua streaked hair sighing, then glared at the girl across from her.

"But that didn't mean you had to shove me Sango"

The ruby-streaked girl that she spoke to shrugged.

"I couldn't be bothered to do anything else." She lay down and stretched languorously. "Its this weather, it just makes you lazy." She smiled back apologetically at her friend.

" I know what you mean, I could stay here for the rest of the holidays." The fourth girl rolled onto her stomach yawning. "What are we doing for the holidays anyway?"

"No idea Hana, Blue and Red are choosing." The blonde looked over at Kagome and Sango. "Do we have any concerts lined up?"

"No." Kagome settled back against the willow and closed her startlingly clear sapphire eyes. "We have the whole vacation uninterrupted, all to our selves." She opened one eye, "Red?"

Sango sat up, ruby eyes losing al of the daze that she had been in; she took on an air of seriousness. Sango looked at the two. "Hana, Strea." She paused and took a breath. "We're going back to Japan."

Hana and the blonde now identified as Strea sat up and gaped at Sango. "WHAT?!?" they shrieked in unison. Kagome opened her eyes and pushed of the tree. She spoke quietly but in a voice that they were all used to listening to.

"My parents are satisfied with how the company is doing here. They gave me the option of going back to Japan to attend Tokyo U there, since they knew how much I wanted to go before. This was your last year at high school too Strea. We can scout out the University and see if we want to go."

"Also, Gemini is really big in Japan and we haven't performed any concerts over there. We haven't even been there since. So we have concert neglect to make up for." Sango continued. "Plus, I'd really like to see my family again." She said quietly.

Kagome took up the conversation again. "It's a holiday from home, with no parents, well except Sango's. We get to choose our performances, and scout out a prospective University. And if we like it there, here's the best part. If we decide to go to University there, Sango and you Hana can transfer to the High school near the University so we'll still be together. Plus I'll be in the High school with you two half the time since I skipped a grade I can still attend there as well as attend the University with Strea."

"So what do you guys think?" Sango asked.

Hana and Strea looked at each other then back at their friends.

"It sounds great." Said Strea. "But…"

"But?" Kagome inquired curious.

"Isn't, isn't the High school near the University, your old school?" Hana questioned hesitantly.

Kagome and Sango tensed ever so slightly. Their postures radiating quiet unyielding strength, patience, understanding and an alert readiness that only comes from years of perfecting skills and fighting arts.

"It is." Sango answered calmly.

"But that was 3 years ago, Green. We dealt, and it only made us stronger." Kagome replied her eyes shining with inner ice.

"Just like you guys." Sango's gaze settled on the two girls, a silent question hidden within it.

Chestnut and obsidian eyes met her own, holding the same inner ice that Kagome's did. That Sango's too held.

"Of course" Hana answered, and smirked.

"Lets do this." Strea said hyped. "Japan won't know what's hit it. The Heartbreakers and Gemini are on their way."

"And of course, there's always time for payback. Especially our kind of payback" Hana's eyes glinted at the others as she smirked.

Three impish grins spread across the faces of the other girls as they got Hana's hint.

"This is going to be fun!"

This chapter is for kandis since she thought I was dead & I probably will be after my exams. I have so much revision to do.

BTW, I can't decide on the pairing(s). Hana and Strea have their own original character each. But Sango and Kagome… These are what I'm choosing from,

Kagome + Sesshoumaru / Inu-yasha

Sango + Miroku / Naraku

Cheating ex boyfriends - Naraku, Miroku, Inu-yasha, Kouga, Hojo, other character(s)

Girls cheated with - Kikyo, Nazuna, Kagura, other characters

Other suggestions are welcome.

Kouga, Hojo, Kikyo, Nazuna, Shippo, Rin, Kanna, Kohaku, Kagura, Naraku, Sesshoumaru, Inu-yasha, Kaede & Souta will all be making appearances, possibly Onigumo too.
