Part 4

Kagome eyes opened slowly and she sat up in bed. She looked out the window to see the sun rising. A slow smile came to her lips.

"Yet another day at the beach." she thought. She got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. Meanwhile Sango and Kaede were in the kitchen. It was their day to make all the meals. Sango groaned.

"I can't make waffles." she muttered. She glanced over at Kaede who had already made two batches of waffles with ease. She was happily humming a tune to a song she had learned when she was little. She looked up to see that Sango was looking at her.

"What's wrong?" she asked. SAngo sighed.

"nothing." she said her voice had taken a childish tone. Kaede smiled.

"Want some help?" Kaede asked and Sango nodded.

kikyou walked into the kitchen and she sniffed the air.

"Waffles." she said. "Smell so good."

"Morning Kikyou." Kaede and Sango said in unison.

"Where's Sesshoumaru?" Sango asked. Kikyou rolled her eyes.

"Asleep." Kikyou responded.

"That's Sesshoumaru for ya." Kaede said. Soon one by one each person walked in. Taking a seat at the table. Sesshoumaru was the last one to walk in as Kaede and Sango set the plates on the table. Everyone began to eat, small conversation here and there.

Soon breakfast ended and everyone went off to do what they wanted. Kikyou walked back into her room to see Sesshoumaru fast asleep again. She groaned.

"How can he sleep that long?" she thought.

Kagome found herself wondering the house aimlessly until she heard something. It was music. Kagome followed the sound carefully. It lead to the lounge room. Kagome opened the door to see Inuyasha, and he was playing a flute.

Kagome watched in complete fascination. Each note that Inuyasha played filled the room with its sound. Finally the notes softly faded. Inuyasha turned around to see Kagome standing there. She smiled.

"That was lovely." she said.

"Oh." he said. Kagome walked into the room and sat on the couch.

"How did you learn how to play the flute?" she asked.

"Kaede." Inuyasha responded. Kagome stood up and walked over to Inuyasha.

"Teach a little bit." she said. Inuyasha looked at her for a moment but nodded. He walked behind Kagome and placed the flute in front of her. He took her hands and rested them on the flute, his hands on top of hers. He moved her fingers in a certain arrangement.

He began to move his fingers along with her along the flute. Fingering a song. Then he began to softly hum the song, but Kagome didn't recognize it. She glanced up at him to see him looking down at her.

Miroku had been walking down the hall when he stopped to see someone in the lounge room. It was Inuyasha and Kagome. His eyes narrowed and he continued walking. It had been two long weeks since they had gotten here and Kagome had been avoiding the whole time.

Soon Sesshoumaru walked in.

"Who was playing the flute?" Sesshoumaru asked

"Oh..that was Inuyasha, wasn't it lovely." Kagome said.

"I can play too but I can play the Violin."

Sesshoumaru reach down to grab a violin while Kagome and Inuyasha watch him warm up. Then when he was ready he give a bow. Then started playing it.

Inuyasha cover his ear and shut his eye shut. While Kagome stood up and yelled.

"Ahh.....stop playing it sounds awful!" Kagome yelled.

It sounded like a folk and spoon scratching against the plate.

"No it doesn't, it sounds lovely to me." Sesshoumaru said.

"well Sesshoumaru in your world it does." Kagome said

Soon the day turned to night and Kaede and Sango found themselves in the kitchen again.

"Sango, it isn't that hard to make a simple taco." Kaede said.

"Well excuse me Miss. 'I can cook anything!' But I'm not that good at cooking!" Sango exclaimed.

"Your telling me. Look at your salsa. It's not suppose to be brown." Kaede said. Sango groaned.

"I hate cooking." she muttered.

Kagome sat outside looking at the waves hit the sand. The beach was one of her favorite places to be. Soon someone walked up and sat next to her.

"Do you want something Miroku?" she asked. Miroku looked at her.

"Can't I just sit?" he asked.

"Why near me?" Kagome asked. Miroku stood up.

"Fine." he said, he began to walk away but Kagome grabbed his hand.

"Sit." she said. Miroku sat back down next to her. The two were silent but Kagome Broke the silent

"I'm sorry." she said. Miroku looked at her again.

"For what?" he asked.

"I've been avoiding you." she said.

"I can't blame you." Miroku said. "You always ignore someone you hate." Kagome frowned.

"I don't hate you." Kagome said. Miroku was silent as he turned his gaze back to the ocean. Kagome sighed.

"I willing to start over again Miroku." she said. Miroku looked at her a bit confused. "I mean we can start out like we had just met, no past things, no nothing." Kagome turned to Miroku and smiled. "Hi, my name's Kagome." She held out her hand.

Miroku looked at her hand then back at her. A small smiled came across his face. He took her hand and shook it.

"Miroku." he said.

"So Miroku, why don't you tell me about yourself." Kagome said.

"Well it's a long story." Miroku said. Kagome stared at him.

"Well I've got the time." she responded.

Kaede stared out the window at the two. She smiled.

"They don't look that bad together." she thought.

The next night everyone had decided to stay outside. It was a warm breezy night. Sesshoumaru brought out a freesbe and threw it. But the freesbe didn't go in a right angle. Instead it hit Miroku right in the nose. He fell back in the sand. Sango, Kaede, and Kikyou held back her laughter.

"Sorry." Sesshoumaru said. Miroku stood up, a red streak on the bridge of his nose.

"Sesshoumaru..." he said. Sesshoumaru took a step back.

"Miroku, you know it was by accident." he said. He gave a nervous laugh. Sango held Miroku back.

"Miroku leave Sesshoumaru alone, he didn't mean to hit you." she said.

Kagome sighed and turned her attention back to the sky. Tonight had to be one of the clearest nights. All the stars were visible.

"Like stargazing?" Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha looking down at her. He sat down next to her.

"Yeah." Kagome responded. "I've always liked stars a lot." she said. Inuyasha looked up at the sky and nodded. Kagome looked back up at the sky and smiled.

"I just love stars. Each and everyone so bright...so distant." she said. Kagome felt her eyelids get heavy. Inuyasha felt something lean on his shoulder and he looked down to see that Kagome had fallen asleep. Inuyasha looked at her as she slept. The expression on her face was peaceful. He picked her up and headed back inside of the house.

He walked into her room and placed her on the bed. Kagome stirred and her eyes opened.

"Inuyasha?" she said.

"Go back to sleep Kagome." he said quietly. Kagome gave him a small smile.

"Good night...Inuyasha." she said drifting back into sleep. He looked at her for a moment before heading

for the door.

"Good night Kagome." he said before leaving her room.

The next afternoon Kikyou and Kaede were jogging down the beach.

"So did you see...Inuyasha and Kagome?" Kaede asked. Kikyou shook her head.

"No, why?" Kikyou said.

"INuyasha carried her to her room last night. She had fallen asleep." Kaede said.

"He is really sweet." Kikyou said. She glanced at Kaede. "Has he ever had a girlfriend?"

"Nope, too shy." Kaede responded. "You think Kagome could be his first?" Kikyou smiled.

"It could happen." Kikyou said. The girls walked back into the house to see Miroku and Sesshoumaru trying to make lunch. Sesshoumaru dumped something into the sink.

"What was that?" Kaede asked. Sesshoumaru looked in the sink at the burnt mess.

"That was suppose to be chicken." Sesshoumaru said. Kikyou walked over to the sink and looked in but she stepped back quickly.

"Why does it smell so bad?" she asked holding her nose. Sesshoumaru shrugged. He looked at Miroku.

"Miroku why don't we get take out and tell everyone we made it?" Sesshoumaru said. Miroku nodded and gave Sesshoumaru the phone. He looked at Kikyou and Kaede.

"We'd really like it, if you didn't tell anyone." Sesshoumaru said.

"Don't worry we won't." Kaede said. The two girls walked out of the kitchen.

"I don't trust them." Sesshoumaru said. "So. Are we getting Chinese?" Miroku nodded again.

Everyone was seated at the table eating lunch. Kagome looked at Miroku.

"I didn't know you could cook?" she asked. Miroku looked away trying to hide his blush, and Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Yep, it's a talent for me and miroku." he said. "It was too easy." Kikyou raised an eyebrow.

"Are you sure Sesshoumaru?" she asked. Sesshoumaru got a little nervous.

"Yeah I'm sure Kikyou." he said.

"I can tell when your lying Sesshoumaru." she said. "Besides I was in the kitchen with you when..."

"Alright, alright. It's take-out." Sesshoumaru admitted.

"That it explains it. Your food would have never tasted this good." Sango said.

"I heard that." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked at Miroku again.

"So, it's take-out." she said. Miroku nodded. "Well, it's still good." Miroku looked at her.

"You probably would have done the same thing." he said. Kagome smiled.

"Your right." she said. "I'm terrible at cooking." Miroku have her a half smile and the two continued their meal.

"Don't you know how to light a match?" Sango asked. Sesshoumaru glared at her.

"I do." he said. He rubbed the match on the side of the box, but it wouldn't light. Sango snatched it from him.

"This is how it's done." she said. She lit the match and placed it in the wood. Soon the fire became larger. Sango smiled and Sesshoumaru mumbled something about show-off. Tonight was the last night they would all be staying there. They had spent the whole summer here, now summer was gone and they were going back to school.

Kikyou looked at her finished work and smiled. It had taken her quite a while but she had done it. She had made a big sand castle. But her smile faded as everything seemed to go in slow motion. Sesshoumaru was running straight into the sand castle trying to get the freesbe.

The castle began to grumble as Sesshoumaru ran through it. kikyou stood there stunned. Sesshoumaru looked at her.

"Kikyou, what's wrong?" he asked. kikyou looked at him, she was so mad at him that she wanted to strangle him. But instead she fell to the ground crying like a 5 year old.

"You ruined my sand castle!" she wailed.

Sango threw the freesbe with perfect accuracy. Miroku jumped into the air and caught it. He turned to Inuyasha, a slow smirk coming across his face.

"Catch this Inuyasha." he said. With that he threw the freesbe towards him. Inuyasha was ready to catch it when someone got in front of him and caught it. That someone was Kagome. But she accidentally pushed Inuyahsa. He lost his balance and fell into the water. Everyone began to laugh.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome said. Inuyasha stood up but lost his balance again and fell into the water. He stood up once more making sure he wouldn't fall. He looked up at Kagome and sneezed. Kagome walked into the water and lead him into the house.

"I'm so sorry." she said.

"It's alright." Inuyasha said but then he sneezed.

"We should get you out of these clothes before you get sick." Kagome said. She walked into Inuyasha's room and grabbed a towel. She made Inuyasha stand in front of her. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha but quickly looked away. She took her hands and rested them on the first button to his shirt. Kagome began to unbutton each one slowly. Each time the tip of her finger brushed against his skin, he would shiver.

"What are you doing?" he asked finally, finding his voice. Kagome looked up at him.

"I'm taking off your shirt." she said. She took off his shirt and grabbed the towel. She began to dry his chest.

"It's my fault that you fell into the water." Kagome said. "So I want to make sure you don't get sick." Kagome began to dry Inuyasha's hair. When she moved the towel away, she looked at his hair. She began to laugh.

"What's so funny?" Inuyasha asked.

"Your hair." Kagome responded. Kagome put Inuyasha's bangs back the way they were before. She took the towel and began to dry Inuyasha's face. She stared at his forehead, then moved down to his neck. Then Kagome moved back up to his face.

Kagome stopped when Inuyasha put his hand on top of hers. That's when Kagome noticed that he had been looking at her very carefully. Kagome looked up at him. His eyes were unreadable and Kagome couldn't tell what he was thinking. Kagome felt her heartbeat pick up, as Inuyasha gently held her hand. Soon their lips started to meet nice and slow. Then suddenly the door swung open. Kaede looked at the scene before her eyes.

"What's going on?" she asked. Inuyasha and Kagome pulled away from each other. Kagome blushed.

"Nothing." she said quickly. She headed for the door. "I'll see you later Inuyasha." With that she left. Kaede turned to Inuyasha and smiled.

"I didn't know you had it in ya." she said and walked away. Inuyasha sighed. He was still wondering what had just happened.
