Chapter 11 - Slow As A Newborn Pup
The afternoon sun found five teenagers standing on the boardwalk in front of the beach. Yuka and Ayame were wearing shorts and tank tops while Eri and Kagome were wearing summer dresses. Inuyasha was wearing some casual shorts with a printed t-shirt and a cap to match, although he still looked pretty good. 'It's a good thing Mama had bought Inuyasha some clothes during the week. Although it did take him a while to dress right before we left,' thought Kagome as she turned her gaze from the hanyou to the beach.
"It's so beautiful!" exclaimed Kagome.
"Keh!"
"You know, you can say what you're really thinking," said the miko.
"And what if I don't feel like it, eh?" retorted Inuyasha.
"Oh, never mind."
"Kagome! Over here!" shouted Eri. Kagome and Inuyasha walked away from the boardwalk and towards her friends.
"We decided that we definitely want this to be an overnight trip now. Is that okay?" asked Yuka.
"Hmm, I better call my mother and ask first."
"Alright, there should be a pay phone inside a hotel."
~*~~*~~*~ Five minutes later ~*~~*~~*~
"Mama said it was alright. I suppose it's a good thing that I had packed extra," said Kagome. The four of them were waiting in the lobby of a nearby hotel while Ayame was trying to get at least two rooms, one for the girls and one for Inuyasha.
"You mean that's why your pack was so heavy?" asked Inuyasha.
"Of course. You should know by now that I usually pack extra, just in case." At Kagome's statement, Yuka and Eri looked curiously at each other. 'What did she mean by that?'
"Keh!" At that moment, Ayame walked back to the group with a face that was mixed with disappointment and happiness.
"Alright. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there was room left for us-"
"Yeah!" cheered the three girls.
"However, they have only one room left-"
"Huh?"
"And I took it," said Ayame, finally able to finish what she was saying.
"Eh?"
"Why didn't we just go to another hotel?" asked Kagome.
"Because this was the only hotel left that had even one room left that's within walking distance of the beach," explained Ayame.
"..."
"So we'll just have to figure something out once we've seen how the room is." Ayame turned when she heard Inuyasha picking up everybody's bags. As he stood up, he found all four girls staring curiously at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Unless you girls feel like sleeping outside in the cold," said the irritated hanyou. Soon, everybody was following the bellboy to their room on the top floor. When the bellboy opened the door to their room, all the girls could only stare for a moment. As they all walked inside, everything was confirmed. At the corner of the room was a queen size bed that could possibly fit all four girls. There were a few seating chairs in another corner, but none looked too comfortable to sleep in.
"Maybe we can get a cot or a futon in here for Inuyasha," suggested Yuka.
"I'm afraid we're all out. Now... Ahem," said the bellboy, while clearing rubbing two fingers together.
"Oh! Here you go," said Kagome as she tipped the bellboy. At that, he walked out and closed the door. Once again, the girls looked curiously at Inuyasha, who simply shrugged.
"I'll sleep on the floor." Three girls looked at Kagome who shrugged as well.
"He's used to it," explained the miko. The three girls looked at each other again. 'Kagome is that mean to let him do that?'
"Anou, Inuyasha. You can take your cap off now," said Eri, noticing it was still on.
"I'll keep it on if I feel like it."
"..."
"How about we get unpack so we can head straight for the beach?" suggested Kagome.
"Sure," agreed all three girls.
~*~~*~~*~ Half an hour later ~*~~*~~*~
"Come on, Inuyasha! Hurry up!" shouted Kagome as she ran across the beach. However, the hanyou was too busy staring at the miko to walk any faster. 'Kami, she's beautiful wearing that... swimsuit, was it?' thought Inuyasha. He was staring at Kagome's light blue one piece, barely conscious of his own unusual bareness, wearing only the red swimming trunks. In fact, he didn't even noticed that Kagome's friends were also wearing their own swimsuits, playing with each other some ways from the couple, wanting to give them some time alone.
"Stop being such a slowpoke!" shouted Kagome. 'What's that?' thought Inuyasha. Seeing the hanyou's confused face, Kagome tried something else.
"Stop being a lazy cat!" Inuyasha frowned.
"Stop stumbling as slow as a newborn pup!" That got Inuyasha's attention. Before Kagome knew it, the irritated hanyou was standing right in front of her.
"What were you saying, wench?" said Inuyasha through his gritted teeth.
"Only something to make you catch up! See?" pointed out Kagome, while smiling.
"Urk!" Inuyasha backed away a step. "So what? You shouldn't have called me a pup!"
"Gomen! You know I didn't really mean it right?"
"Keh!" But of course, Inuyasha was to busy facing away with his arms folded to noticed that Kagome's smile widened or her hands moving towards his. Right when her fingers were close enough to graze his fingertips tucked underneath his arms, she heard somebody yelled out her name.
"Kagome!" She snatched her hand back, unnoticed by Inuyasha who was too busy growling at the owner of the voice. She turned to find Hojo running towards her.
"Hobo..." growled Inuyasha, barring his fangs.

Nankinmai - Gomen, Inuyasha, but there were some people who wanted to know about whether Hojo will appear or not. Besides, what kind of story would this be with our beloved Hojo?
Inuyasha - Easy! One of just Kagome and me!
Kagome - Eh?
