Chapter 4: Something Strange
We went into Sango's room to have a quick talk before we took a shower and got ready to go. In the room Kikyo started to set up pairing arrangements for the night. This was for just incase the guys wanted to split up after dinner to go somewhere like a movie or dancing.
"Here's what we're going to do if they want to split up. First I'm sure we all have each other's cell phone numbers right? Good, well now as for pairings I say Sango and Miroku, Kagome and Inuyasha, and Kouga and me. How does that sound?"
"Kikyo it sounds great but what if the guys don't like those pairings? I mean we didn't even talk about it yet."
"Well that's where you're wrong Sango. I did speak to them earlier and needless to say they loved the pairings."
Before we could start talking again Sango pushed us out the door and told us to hurry up. We only had 45 minutes left to get ready. I ran into my room, took a quick shower, and then paused in front of my closet. 'What to wear, what to wear?' My eyes stopped in front of my favorite outfit: a white flower-embroidered tank top and a black knee-length shirt. Looking at the clock I saw it was only 7:00 and there was plenty of time before we had to leave. Then there was a soft knock on my frontdoor. Slowly I stood up and walked from my room to the front door.
From inside I called out "Who is it?"
"It's me."
I opened the door "Hi Inuyasha."
"Well I was just walking over here to see if you wanted to come down with me to the lounge. I mean since everyone else isn't going to be ready for another half hour. Well?"
"Sure, just give me a few minutes to find my necklace."
A tiny bit later Kagome found her necklace, put it on, and walked out the door. They were walking down the hall in silence until they saw the place that they had met at and then burst out laughing. After strolling down the halls for a couple more minutes the two stepped into a comfy looking lounge with a balcony facing the ocean and setting sun.
Suddenly Kagome said "This view is so peaceful and relaxing. I haven't seen an ocean sunset since my dad took Kikyo and me when we were about seven years old."
"If it's not a personal question then can I ask what happened?" Inuyasha's voice was filled with curiosity and pain.
"Well you see my dad sorta died a few years ago and seeing this sunset reminds me of him." She looked sad but also glad that she could tell someone that after keeping it to herself for so long.
"I'm sorry. I know exactly how you feel cause I lost my mom when I was six years old." He felt glad for telling someone too.
Then things began to grow quiet, not an erie quiet but a peaceful quiet with the gentle sounds of waves lapping up onto the shore. Somehow Inuyasha's arm found its way around Kagome's waist and her head was resting gently on his shoulder. They stayed like that for some time listening to the beach when Kagome's cell rang. Angrily she yanked it out of her purse and answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Kagome, where are you and Inuyasha anyway? Have you checked the time lately, it's 7:22."
"Kikyo, you're kidding me right?"
"No, I'm not kidding around. Get your's and Inuyasha's ass over to the front right NOW!"
With that she hung up. Inuyasha had dozed off a little while ago and right now Kagome thought that he looked too cute to wake up. She gently shook his shoulders.
She whispered "Hey Inuyasha, wake up. It's almost 7:30. We need to get a move on."
His eyes opened slowly "OK let's go." He yawned sleepily.
The two of them were wide awake by the time they got down to the front. Kouga, Kikyo, and Sango all looked furious but Miroku had an amused smile on his face. No one noticed this because Kikyo began asking where the hell they had been. Inuyasha replied with a 'Feh'. He grabbed Kagome's hand and stepped out the front door into the last rays of light. Everyone else followed without question.
Kouga whispered "Hey Kikyo, where do you think they where anyway? Inuyasha won't tell anybody unless he wants to and let me tell you he doesn't look like he wants to."
"I bet you anything that Kagome was off somewhere relaxing but I have no idea about Inuyasha. Maybe they were together since they came down the stairs hand-in-hand."
"Ya know I think I heard him say something about looking at the ocean earlier before he left his room."
"Kagome and I both used to love watching the ocean before."
"What?"
"Before our dad died a few years ago. Wow, I haven't talked to anyone about my dad except for Kagome."
"Guess that means I'm special."
Somehow the group decided to walk to the restaurant seeing how it's only a few minutes away. Kagome looked around at the group and noted that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Sango was talking to Miroku who, miraculously, has not yet been groping her and Kikyo whispered to Kouga who whispered right back to her. She wondered what they were talking about. Then Inuyasha grabbed her attention.
"Hey Kagome I was wondering, if we have enough time after dinner, would you like to go around town. You know to look at all of the sights, arcades, just places to hang out at?"
"That sounds great to me. Oh, and thanks again for listening to me I had to tell someone besides my sister." She smiled a smile that just melted people's hearts on the spot.
"AHHHH! PERVERT!! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY ASS NOW MIROKU!" Sango shouted so loud that the people on the street just stopped and stared at her. Then came the THUMP, WACK, THUD. She hit him over the head with her little purse and he fell, no crashed, into the hard cement ground.
"God, what do you put in that thing anyway?" He rubbed his head in pain, right where she wacked him.
"Do you really wanna know?"
"Yes I want to know!"
"Alright but be forewarned. Let's see my cell, car keys with keychain collection, wallet, coin purse, a mini (hardback) version of War and Peace, makeup, watch."
"OK, OK I'm kinda sorry I asked in the first place." He is still messaging his head. Kouga, Kikyo, Inuyasha, and Kagome were trying very hard not to laugh but began to crack up all the same.
"What exactly is soo funny?" An irrated Miroku asked every suspiciouly.
Inuyasha was the only one to recover enough to say "Did you even take a look at your head? *laughter* You look like some hills grew on your head!"
By the time they arrived at the restaurant it was 7:45. They split up into three different parties and took their seats. Kagome and Inuyasha had a table that was outside over-looking the ocean. Candles around the table bathed the area a soft glow. A waiter came to take their drink orders and hand them the menus then walked away again.
Inuyasha looked Kagome strait in the eye "Well how do you like this place?"
"I loved this place when I was a little girl! My dad used to take us here when we visited our grandmother or about the time when I was seven."
"Really? My mom was the person that showed me this place way back." He sounded a tiny bit sad at the memory but just mostly happy. The waiter came back and placed down their drinks then he took their orders. While waiting for the food to come they ramained silent and looked at the ocean. Waves beat along the shore line, leaving sea foam behind and there was a bright full moon out, shining on the ocean and causing it to sparkle. After the food was on the table they began talking about this and that in between bites of food.
"Would you like a dessert tonight?" The waiter asked them after their dishes were picked up.
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other, then nodded to the waiter to show that they would enjoy a dessert. Seeing this he placed a dessert menu on the table and walked away to give them time to decide.
"Oh, that one looks good." Kagome said pointing to an ice cream sundae.
"But look at that Molten Volcano one." Inuyasha pointed to the picture.
"Let's see. it is a Devil's Food Cake shaped into a volcano filled with hot fudge, topped with a large scoop of French vanilla ice cream, and dribbled with fudge and carmel. That sounds good!"
The waiter came back to take their order. "We'll have the Molten Volcano please." Again the waiter walked off to make the order.
"So Inuyasha do you want to do anything after dinner?"
"Well I was thinking about possibly having a moon-lit stroll in the park that's by the beach."
"Sounds great!"
His gaze wasn't on Kagome but the dessert that they ordered. Almost as soon as it got to the table they were already digging in to the sweet treat. The dessert was devoured in less than five minutes and so they paid the bill and went off in search of the others. Those two found Sango and Miroku whispering to each other then Sango began blushing and wacked Miroku on the head, hard so hard in fact that he fell off his chair. Kagome began to giggle and Inuyasha was on the ground holding his aching sides then they dissapeared in search of Kikyo and Kouga. They were much more boring so they left quickly to go leave the restaurant.
The ocean breeze snaked through the tree branches and the moonlight shone off the water. Being night time the sand was cool so they were walking barefoot along the beach when Kagome kicked something hard.
"Ouch" She hissed.
"What happened?"
"My foot hit something hard."
"What then?"
"This." She bent over and picked up a round jewel. It began to glow a rainbow of colors then faded back as if nothing happened.
Inuyasha looked at the jewel in surprise. "What just happened to that thing?" Then he looked down at Kagome. Kagome's face was pale and her eyes were closed as if she were in a trance.
"Kagome, wake up! Wake up!" He sounded scared.
Suddenly she snapped back into reality "I-I-I have no idea what just happened. I remember picking up this thing, it began to glow then everything went dark for a while. Then I heard a voice in my head saying 'Beware' then I asked it 'Beware of what?' that voice faded away and before I knew it I'm back to normal."
"Come on Kagome. We need to get back to the resort. I'm sure the others are finished by now."
"OK let's go." For some reason she did not let go of the mysterious jewel but placed it into her purse then she stood up with help from Inuyasha. The two walked back in silence not even noticing two dark figures watching them.
"Call Naraku and tell him we've located the jewel."
