DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, nothing I own, I don't own anything...

As the two hentai's were conniving behind the snow cone wagon, Shippo had wandered away from the water. He shook the excess sand from his bushy tail, and was almost trampled as two kids wrestled to keep control of a third who had obviously lost it. A girl with red hair tied in a side ponytail was hanging on frantically, trying to keep hold of the struggling boy. "Brock! I'm losing my grip, I can't hold him for much longer!!" "They already called the ambulance Misty! The white coats should be here any minute." The struggling boy dug his heels into the sand and braced himself against the other two. "Let.go...of.me! That's a Snorlax and I KNOW it! You just wanna capture it for yourself, now let GO!!!" "Ash!" Misty screamed, " That's no way to talk to someone you don't even know! How would you feel if someone called you that!" Ash paid no attention to her. Sirens wailed as a white ambulance van zoomed onto the sand. The crazed boy reached down and grabbed a red and white striped ball from off his belt, took aim, and threw it at a large woman sitting placidly under a beach umbrella. The ball bounced off her and rolled away. Ash clawed madly at his captors and continued yelling until they had bundled him into the van. People continued to pass by as if nothing had happened. The lady continued to sit under the umbrella, oblivious to what had happened. She took a large swig of her drink and belched loudly.

Shippo blinked and looked around. This was too weird for him. All he wanted to do was get back to Kagome and the others, and maybe build a sandcastle. He stared around himself, searching for the way back. He got up and trundled off in what he thought was the right direction.

While Shippo was trying to find his way back, Inuyasha had returned to their spot on the beach. Kagome had long since given up her nap and was boogy boarding with another girl named Botan who claimed that she was the Grim Reaper. When they had invited him to come surf with them, he had merely sniffed at the thought and turned his back to the two. "He can be such a jerk sometimes," Kagome said. Botan nodded understandingly and pointed at the shore. "I know what you mean, Kagome, just try keeping Yusuke and his friends out of trouble, not to mention keeping Keiko from constantly tagging along." She smiled cheerily then pointed at a large wave. "Huge wave coming! Farthest ride wins!" "You're on!" Kagome laughed as they waded out to meet it. Inuyasha had watched them curiously in spite of himself. The water did look inviting. He squinted up at the sun. His back was starting to feel very uncomfortable and he shifted uneasily in the hot sand. Suddenly, his sensitive ears picked up the sound of a group of high pitched voices singing. It seemed to be emanating from a large sand dune slightly off to the left. He stood up, curious to see what was making the noise, but stepped on a patch of searing hot sand. He yelped and performed a small hopping dance, cradling his scorched foot.

Naraku and Sesshoumaru, who had just arrived with a pair of surf boards chuckled evilly. "That half breed will be easy to dispose of here, Sesshoumaru," Naraku said quietly. "Just be sure you get the job done right this time." Sesshoumaru looked over with a bored expression. "It won't be any trouble, I may not even have to get my claws dirty..but before I take care of him.." he paused, glancing down at the waves, " I want to hit the waves first." He began walking down the dune. Jaken followed closely, " Yes master, the water will be good for your skin and the sun should help you gain even more stre.mmf!" Jaken floundered helplessly in a patch of quicksand before sinking from view. Naraku laughed quietly and stepped gingerly down the sand, following the path Sesshoumaro had gone.

After Inuyasha had finished cursing, he crept quietly over to the dune and peeked over the top. He could see nothing at first, then on looking down, he noticed a half built sand castle fortress. Small hamsters scurried here and there, building up the sides, and hollowing out new rooms. They worked on, not noticing Inuyasha until an orange and white hamster popped up directly in front of him from a tunnel it had created. "Hi there!" it squeaked happily, its eyes large and shiny. "My name's Hamtaro, what's yours!" Inuyasha picked the creature up and sniffed it. "What are you?" Hamtaro cocked his head and replied, " I'm a hamster!" Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. "What are hamsters doing at a beach?!" The hamster waved his paw, indicating the half built castle. " We are the Ham Ham gang. We're out here to bring happiness and love and.." A sudden commotion broke Hamtaro off. They both watched as a seagull dropped out of the sky, squawking madly, grabbed a grey and white speckled hamster, and then carried him off screaming. Inuyasha blinked, "well, ya don't see that every day." Hamtaro turned back to Inuyasha and continued as if nothing had happened. "Anyway, we're here to meet new hamsters, make the world a better place, and of course look out for our humans!" He looked up at Inuyasha and grinned broadly. As the dog demon had listened to the hamster speak, his stomach began to rumble painfully. A half crazed glint came into his eyes. When Hamtaro had finished speaking, Inuyasha, in one fluid motion, crammed the grinning hamster into his mouth. He swallowed, belched loudly, and headed back to their chairs to take a nap. The other hamsters watched him go in stunned silence. "Hamtaro..is.gone." one of them said shakily. "What should we do?!" A large hamster wearing a helmet and carrying a shovel stepped forward. "Hamtaro is dead to us now! We must carry on his dream and dig! DIG FOR HAMTARO EVERYONE!!" Sand flew everywhere as the hamsters began to dig straight down. An hour later, a strangled squeak of dismay echoed across the dunes as the hamsters hit water, and drowned themselves. Inuyasha snoozed away, happily oblivious as his sunburn worsened and his brother rode the waves like a pro.

Author's Note: Will Shippo find his way back? Is Sesshoumaru going to fall off his board?? And what about Inuyasha's sunburn! Will he be redder than a freshly boiled lobster?! And will Miroku and Vash survive their beatings at the hands of angry women??! Stay tuned as all is revealed!!! ^_^
