Request: PLEASE READ THIS PARAGRAPH BELOOOOOOOOOW~!
Okay~! First off I'd like to make an apology to all of you who have been waiting so long for this chapter! Another thing is that I'm quite amazed at the amount of reviews I'm getting! I have 83 for four chapters!! That's the same amount I have for my 8 chapter one @.@
This is a rather short chapter but I wanted to get SOMETHING out. ^^
I also hope that this chapter doesn't turn out to be one huge paragraph. I think I fixed that problem!
One other thing!! I'm considering changing my name from Noodals to Kirara. I'm going to let my fans decide so, WHEN you review *cough*, at the bottom of your review please state clearly if you want 'Noodals' or 'Kirara', k? kk!
Read on~!
Your...not so average princess
Chapter 5: Castle wars!!
"Are you going to the beach too?"
Kagome looked up as Sango entered the room.
"Yup! Inu-Yasha's gonna teach me how to build a sandcastle!!"
"Miroku said he would show me too!" Sango giggled.
"This is gonna be fun!!!" Kagome squealed as she picked out an aquamarine bikini with white palm prints on it.
"Soo.......have you gotten any closer??" Sango was beyond curious...even though she HAD seen Kagome on the cliff.
"Absolutely."
"Tell!"
"Later"
"Evil!!"
"I know."
"..."
"^___^"
"Let's make a promise!!" Sango stated out of the blue.
Kagome looked up from brushing her hair.
"Promise that we'll always come before ANY boy!!"
"Promise." Kagome smiled sincerely. Not even Inu-Yasha could come between her and Sango.
They latched pinkies and kissed fists to close the deal.
"FRIENDS FOREVER!!" Kagome whooped and a couple of birds flew off the window deciding never to perch THERE again. Sango sweatdropped as she wound a blue flower, that contrasted nicely with her hot pink bikini, into her hair. They skipped out of Kagome's quarters and down the beach where the boys where waiting for them.
* * *
Inu-Yasha and Miroku looked up as they saw the two girls come out of the gates and stared. To the boys, the girls were walking in slow motion with their hair billowing out behind them. As the spellbound boys would have said later, the princess and her lady looked HOT!
Kagome couldn't believe that the anti-girl Inu-Yasha was looking at her like if a guy came to close to her than he would roast them alive where they stood. In fact it almost scared her....
"So...are you ladies ready to get down and dirty to make a humungous castle?" Miroku preformed a sweeping bow while holding a pail with several handles protruding from the mouth.
The girls both gave him a look that said ' what-do-YOU-think?'
Inu-Yasha nudged Miroku and grinned, "Ask a stupid question..."
"She didn't give me an answer!" Miroku replied haughtily, "not with words any ways." He added sheepishly. He kneeled in the sand next to Kagome to get started and show her what to do but Sango could have sworn Inu-Yasha growled. Miroku certainly heard something and skittered out of the way before he lost a part of him.
"You wanna make a BIG castle?" He asked the girls enthusiastically.
Their eyes did more than gleam.
"Miroku? Go find some knives and a few spatulas from the kitchens!"
"Are you sure? They've never touched sand before!"
"They DO want pretty castles," Inu-Yasha gave him a 'Do-it-for-the-girls. What-can-it-hurt?' look.
The two ladies were clearly confused, however.
"We aren't cutting up the sand are we??" Sango stared at all of the tiny grains.
"I don't think it can get any smaller." Kagome let the sand run through her hands.
Inu-Yasha laughed a their confusion.
"Knives are better tools to work with." He explained. "They're sharp so you get finer details when cutting out turrets and windows."
"Ohhhhh...." They finally understood.
"Miroku! Would you like me to.....assist you to the kitchens?" Sango batted her eyelashes. How could Miroku refuse? Actually...there's no way he would have refused. ¬.¬
Sango got up and she and Miroku left the beach for the kitchens.
Kikyo and Sesshomaru were both watching the scene below (from separate rooms) and saw the two unimportant people leave.
'Now's my chance!!" Kikyo thought to herself. 'If I just boast myself in a bikini, I'll having him following me like a dog in no time!!"
She cackled evilly out loud and Nazuna looked up from her needlepoint, slightly afraid.
'If princess Kagome sees me sunning myself on the beach, she won't resist me!' Fluffy thought madly, completely forgetting that he had just called her a bitch because she drew blood from his perfect face 45 minutes ago...¬.¬
Selective memory...
* * *
"Well look who decided to show up." Inu-Yasha's eyes narrowed.
"Kikyo...the only thing that would make her walk on sand is you. You're in trouble." Kagome sighed.
"Well now, what are we doing here?" Kikyo sweetly asked.
Ok, time out. I suppose you need a description of what Kikyo 'dearest' looks like on this particular sunny afternoon.
Picture Kikyo with her hair down, and in a bikini that was a size or two waaaaay too small. It seems to pinch her everywhere and when she takes it off later, she is going to have red marks where any elastic is.
Now make it the color of two-year-old milk.
Got that? K, now put two huge black and white targets on her boobs and the words 'THIS is your target!' written in swirly black lettering across her butt.
I'm not finished yet.
Now, Kikyo here seemed to think that 4-day-old-picked flowers arranged in her hair without any particular pattern would be attractive. Not really. Her hair look like it had died and you could hardly see her bikini because even though it was a slightly off-white, it was about the same color of her skin. And the black looked like it had been tattooed to her skin. We must remember that this is a VERY tight bikini. Almost spray-painted on, it looked like.
K then. Back to the story.
Kagome grimaced as she saw Fluffy walking towards them. Then she stared, eyes bulging, as KIKYO sat_in_the_sand.
"Dear Diary..."Kagome said while still staring at her older sister.
Inu-Yasha rolled over laughing.
"What's so funny?" Guess whose silky voice.
And guess who shuddered...
"Kagome!" Inu-Yasha sat up while still stifling a grin.
"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT MY BRIDE-TO-BE!!" Sesshy bellowed.
"Excuse me?" Kagome looked at him with a stubborn look.
Inu-Yasha stopped laughing like a hyena.
Sesshy looked at Kagome and held out his hand, "Will you marry me?"
"HELL NO!!" Kagome screamed, "I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!!"
Kagome had the strong urge to bite his hand.
"But I...I feel like I have known you for years!"
"Are you calling me old?"
"Even if I was, we will always be young at heart! You and I!!"
"I hate to disrupt this...atmosphere...but I think I'm gonna puke." Inu-Yasha looked like he was eating something Kikyo had cooked.
"That makes two of us." Kagome agreed.
"You've got nerve to ask Kagome to be your bride in front of Kikyo and I." Inu-Yasha frowned.
"Kikyo and I don't really care for each other do we Kikyo?" Sesshy drawled.
"I still hardly believe you exist." She said airily.
"Same here." Inu-Yasha and Kagome said in union.
Sesshy glared as he continued, "and Inu-Yasha means nothing to Kagome so what's wrong with that?"
Kagome stared at his absolute stupidity.
"Oh yea...that's right!" Inu-Yasha looked like he had just remembered something important, "Err...how's your cheek?" he added casually.
"Eh?"
They all stared at the navy blue band-aid on his cheek that contrasted deeply against his white hair and pale skin.
"Now where did that come from?" Sesshy thought deeply. Or tried to. But he looked like he was trying hard.
"Oh I don't know. Maybe a branch poked you while you were in the woods." Kagome voice was dripping, no, it was absolutely drowning in sarcasm.
Sesshy completely missed the sarcasm.
"Or something else..." Inu-Yasha looked innocently at the palm tree nearby.
Kagome blew off her middle fingernail.
"And Sesshy...I know that you're inseparable with that boa...but wearing it like a headscarf??"
"I'm only wearing like this because keeps it out of the sand!" Sesshy said with as much dignity as one can have when wearing something huge and fluffy around ones head.
Sango and Miroku reappeared with a handful of kitchen tools.
"Hey cool! Now we're three couples!!" Miroku exclaimed.
Sango dropped everything she was holding when she saw Kikyo sitting in the sand and Sesshy's 'head scarf' and started turning blue from trying not to laugh.
"I've got an idea!" Inu-Yasha stated, "Let's have a contest! Pair up with your partner for a sandcastle contest!"
"Who's the judge?" Kikyo asked.
"Let's have four judges." Inu-Yasha cracked his knuckles. "Moms and dads. The King and queen of Shikon and Tetsusaiga."
"Done!" Fluffy smacked a fist into the palm of his other hand.
The two brothers glared at each other with Kagome in the background. Sango and Miroku sweated on the side.
"This isn't a contest! It's a family feud!" Miroku nudged Inu-Yasha's arm.
"It's a type of contest...^.^"
"..."
"and it's the start of many...and not just between me and my brother."
Miroku looked around and saw Kagome and Kikyo staring daggers at each other, both willing each other to be nothing but ill.
"Ah. Sango dear, we'd better keep out of the way! ^^'"
"No way! I need you guys to make it look like there's a group of us just having fun on the beach." Inu-Yasha called to their retreating backs.
"Come and join us, Sango-chan!" Kagome coaxed, "You and Miroku can be partners!"
"And Kagome! You and I will be partners!" fluffy TRIED to be gallant. "Kagome?"
He looked around and completely missed the fact that Inu-Yasha had four legs and suddenly black hair was mixing with Inu-Yasha's white.
"What Did You Do To My Kagome???" Fluffy pointed an accusing finger at Inu-Yasha.
'hehehe' thought Kagome.
Suddenly female arms snaked around Inu-Yasha's neck and then everyone saw Kagome put her head on his shoulder and then smile contently. Miroku and Sango 'whooped', Fluffy stared while wildly thinking that Inu-Yasha had put a spell on Kagome and Kikyo glared at Kagome thinking, 'HOW DARE SHE???'
Sango turned and hugged Miroku, who turned pink.
"Come on and join the fun!" she called to Kikyo and Fluffy.
Kagome and Inu-Yasha were peacefully enjoying each others embrace when suddenly whey were sandwiched between the two people they hated most. Sesshy was hugging Kagome's back while Kikyo was trying to hug Inu-Yasha's. They were a site to see. And passer Byers stopped and whispered and one person even started setting up a painter's easel.
"Oops." Sango whispered.
"Err...why don't we start working on the sandcastles..." Miroku suggested.
"Brilliant idea!!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed and managed to shake Kikyo off.
Kagome shoved her elbows into Fluffy. That got him off real quick.
"Well, seeing as the partners have been decided, the-" Miroku started and Fluffy interrupted.
"No they haven't! We haven't agreed!"
"Well seeing as I'm paring up with Miroku and Kagome is paring up with Inu-Yasha...that leaves you two together..." Sango waved the obvious facts under his nose.
"Allow me to pass out the equipment." Kagome volunteered.
Massed her two pales containing equal amounts of cutlery and tools to work with. He kept a bucket for him and Sango.
Kagome walked over to Kikyo and Fluffy's group and handed Fluffy the pale.
Mistake.
When Fluffy took the pale, he took her hand and kissed it.
Mistake.
Out of 'nowhere' her free hand slapped him in the face: right on the bandage.
A lot of people stopped to murmur and one kid even yelled over to him, "He Mister!! You don't seriously think that that bandage is gonna cover the hand mark, do you??" and then walked away while laughing with his friends.
At that moment, Fluffy was making death vows towards the kid...
"Can the contest PLEASE begin?" Miroku snapped Sesshy out of his murderous glare.
"Let's go~!" Sango exclaimed, eager to get started.
"Pick your place on the beach!" Miroku instructed.
Kagome, Inu-Yasha and Sango went to wetish sand far enough away from the tide.
Sesshy was about to follow them down there but Kikyo had other ideas.
"Sesshomaru, dear, the sand there is WET! I want to sit in DRY sand!" she complained.
"Kikyo, dear, Wet sand is better for packing."
"I don't care! I refuse to sit in WET sand!!"
Sesshy sighed in defeat.
"You have until 7:00 P.M. tonight to finish. If you finish before then, you may leave your castle. If you leave your castle, the other contestants MAY NOT touch your castle." Miroku continued.
"Is that it?" Sesshy asked, while sitting in the soft, unmoldable sand.
"Yup! Begin!" Miroku shouted.
"Kagome, here's what we're going to do: We're going to build a huge block of sturdy sand and then carve out of that, ok?" Inu-Yasha told Kagome.
"Don't ask me 'ok'. You're the one who knows what he's doing," Kagome pointed out.
"Right! Then I'm going to need you to listen to what I have to say."
Kagome nodded.
"I need you to run into the castle, up to my mom's bathroom, and comeback with her water spritzer."
"YOUR MOM'S BATHROOM???" Kagome assumed he was crazy.
"Yup. It's the best one in the castle, and I need to beat Sesshy."
"What goes into this spritzer?"
"Water."
"SO WHY DO I NEED TO GO UP TO YOUR MOM'S BATHROOM WHEN I'M SURE THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE IN THE CASTLE????"
"There is only one other. And it's in the kitchen. Oh, would you look at that, Miroku just sent Sango to go and get that one!"
"Not if I can beat her!" Kagome muttered under her breath as she took off after Sango.
She won easily.
Why? Because Sango didn't know why Kagome was dashing off to the kitchens.
* * *
While Inuyasha gave Kagome instructions...
"Sango, baby-"
"don't call me that."
"Dearest Sango-"
"Please Miroku..."
Miroku sighed, "Sango. This is how we're going to do this..." And he basically said the exact same thing Inuyasha said.
Sango got up and then headed for the castle to get the spritzer from the kitchens that would keep the sand moist.
* * *
When Miroku shouted 'Begin!' Sesshy attacked the sand.
"Sesshomaru! What am I supposed to do?" Kikyo demanded.
"PILE SAND!!!" he replied franticly.
"But my NAILS!" Kikyo exclaimed, "I just got them MANICURED!"
Sesshy gasped and looked at his nails, which now had sand under them.
"MY NAILS!!" Sesshy bellowed and then curled up and cried.
Miroku and Inuyasha both looke at each other and then rolled in the sand laughing hysterically.
"It's not funny!" Kikyo chided. "You nails help your hands look good! Really! It's not FUNNY!!!"
"When why am I laughing so hard?!" Inuyasha sniggered.
Kikyo's haughty face melted into a pout.
"Inuyasha!!" she whined. "Don't tease me!"
"If you tease her, Inuyasha, then you MUST like her!" Sesshy claimed.
"He wasn't teasing her, he was laughing at the two of you! (idiot)" Miroku spoke up.
"Don't push your luck Fluffy." Inuyasha barked.
Sesshy smirked.

"FRIENDS FOREVER!!" Kagome whooped and a couple of birds flew off the window deciding never to perch THERE again.

"But my NAILS!" Kikyo exclaimed, "I just got them MANICURED!"
Sesshy gasped and looked at his nails, which now had sand under them.
"MY NAILS!!" Sesshy bellowed and then curled up and cried.
Miroku and Inuyasha both looke at each other and then rolled in the sand laughing hysterically.
"It's not funny!" Kikyo chided. "You nails help your hands look good! Really! It's not FUNNY!!!"
"When why am I laughing so hard?!" Inuyasha sniggered.
Kikyo's haughty face melted into a pout.
"Inuyasha!!" she whined. "Don't tease me!"
"If you tease her, Inuyasha, then you MUST like her!" Sesshy claimed.
"He wasn't teasing her, he was laughing at the two of you! (idiot)" Miroku spoke up.
"Don't push your luck Fluffy." Inuyasha barked.
Sesshy smirked.
