One Boy, One Girl, Back at School AGAIN!

Vacation/Field Trip Day 5/7

A Day at the Pool! Memories of the 'Lonely Times' Come about . .?

'The Gang' had finally eaten and it was sure to be an interesting day. Most off . . They seemed to have NOTHING to do . . They did it all really. . The Movies, The Night Club, The Beach, and even a night in a closet! Or at Least for Kagome and Inuyasha. The had finally settled on a nice relaxing day at the resort's swimming pool.

They threw on their bathing suits in a hurry and put loose clothes over them before they sauntered down to the pool with sun tan lotion, tanning oil, towels, the works.

"It really is a nice cool day today" Kagome sighed contentedly next to Sango on one of those weird big chairs they always have at a pool. They were determined just to relax and bask in the sun away from most of the chaos that surrounded their lives. The boys, however, who knows what they were up to . . They were acting 'normal' well as normal as can be if you were one of them. They didn't seem to be up to anything. Maybe they just really wanted to relax for a change.

Kagome started thinking wistfully of Inuyasha again. Fingering her necklace that he had given her the night of the dance club she went over her life with them. It really was insane how they met and how they got back together. Had Inuyasha really missed her that badly when he thought he would never see her again? She remembered quite clearly how happy he had seemed at the front of the class that day. Then she realized she missed him just as much. They had never asked her about what she did in the time she was rebuilding her family when she left what seemed to be a family of Insane friends that most people aren't lucky enough to encounter in their one lifetime.

~~~~ Back to Those Lonely Times ~~~~

Kagome had arrived at her somewhat rebuilt home. It was empty as ever. It wasn't very pleasant. All she could think of is what her friends would say to cheer her up about it all. They would probably make some funny joke to cheer her up. But No . . They weren't there. No Miroku, no Sango, no Shippo, and most of all no boyfriend, Inuyasha. She missed that comforting feeling they gave her. It was just too weird seeing her past that she thought was dead in her future. She clutched her locket hard in her hand holding it close to her heart.

"Kagome, honey" Her mother said softly behind her. "We are going to stay at your aunt's house for now until this place is put back together enough to stay. Everyone else is already there."

"I missed you guys so much ma ma!" She cried out sadly hugging her mom close.

"I know honey we missed you too!" her mother replied softly as she calmed her daughter and headed to the house where they were to stay.

Those few days had been lonely and hard. Happier than ever that she was back with her family . . but she never realized how big of a part her other friends had in her life. She would see different familiar sights and memories of fun things she once did with her family there flooded into her mind . . but memories of her friends surfaced too. She decided they were her past and not her future. As much as she wanted them to be, the just weren't. And she had to tough it up. She held back tears and dealt with life. Slowly getting accustom to the fact that she didn't have 'them'. It had begun to be too hard to think of their names so she referred to the gang as 'them' to match the dying pictures of them in her mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was her first day of school and she was getting ready to 'face the music' as her mother put it. It was her first step to snapping back to reality and forgetting the past that hurt her. She walked into the halls until she realized she was late. She began running and bumped into a young sweet girl that dubbed herself as 'Rin'. She steered Kagome into the classroom to make a short announcement that she was one of the newer kids that didn't attend that school in the previous year.

"We have a new student today!" Rin announced with a smile.

"Her name is Kagome Higurashi!"

Kagome looked up slightly during the announcement but didn't pay attention to anyone in particular. When Rin said her name she heard the thump of someone falling ahead of her and loud yelps of pure insanity and happiness from behind that. She looked up only to be talked by the three people she missed most in her life. The three people she missed just as much as she missed her family when she thought they were dead. Hell, Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo WERE her family. She lived with them over summer and had become 'one of them'. They went out of their way to make sure that she was happy and healthy and that nothing had bothered her. They took care of her and did a damn well good job of it too.

She was finally reunited with them! Maybe it was fate for people as close and crazy as them to meet up again. It was only fair in Kagome's opinion. Now she would never really have to think 'I wonder what they're doing now?'. Because now, They were only a dorm room away. And she was their. Her family at home. And her family of friends. That was all she needed. And just they way they all hugged her up there in front of the class like that . . Everything seemed like it would go just fine.

~~ Back to Modern Day Times at A Very Large Resort Pool ~~

Kagome had never really gone back in that part of her life now that she was back with them. She really needed them. Her eyes focused again out of deep concentration to find Inuyasha leaning in Inches from her face.

"Ummm you okay?" He asked concerned by the expression she had had earlier.

"Just fine Inuyasha!" She said happily bringing him into a 'warm, soft, and fuzzy' hug. "Man I am so glad I have you guys here with me . . who knows what I would do without you!"

Inuyasha seemed surprised . . The only logical explanation he could come up with was actually right on the dot.

(* Her past *) He thought deeply embracing her in the hug caught up in the moment. The others seemed to have caught that weird scene too and thought the same as Inuyasha.

"Who knows what us crazy folk would have done without YOU" Sango said playfully as she poked Kagome.

"Ya Inuyasha would have downright killed himself! We would have had a loss in the family!" Miroku added with a smirk fearfully dodging Inuyasha's angry swipe at him.

"It is true though Inuyasha! You were a freaking zombie without her!" Miroku said from a safe distance knowing Inuyasha wouldn't break up the hug.

"Must agree!" Sango added in playfully just to see how Inuyasha would react though she knew it was true-he was a walking wreck without Kagome. He hid it quite well. Only Sango and Miroku - who had known him for 'too long' as Inuyasha once put it-could tell when Inuyasha was that freaked about something.

"D-Did not!" Inuyasha said with a small blush. They gave him hard accusing glares. He blinked a few times before turning away looking up saying the simple comment of "feh".

"Well I missed you guys A LOT" Kagome admitted. "Are you sure you didn't miss me Inuyasha?" she pouted. She knew just as well as anyone that he had missed her sorely but wanted to hear it out of his mouth. And besides she liked playing with his mind sometimes. Poor Inuyasha.

"B-But! Yes! No! Feh!" Inuyasha replied turning a deeper shade of red and looking away determined.

"Your dumping me aren't you?" Kagome said sadly looking away dramatically with an act that could fool anyone.

"W-What!? N-no! I'm NOT dumping you! I repeat NOOOOOOT dumping you!" Inuyasha said hurriedly in a worried way. Miroku and Sango had caught onto what Kagome was doing and only watched trying desperately to suppress laughter. They had to give Inuyasha credit. He put up with Kagome's games most of the time. And he was pinned with such an accusation he wouldn't be able to see clearly that it was just a trick anyway.

"How do I know that?" Kagome continued on.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and played Romeo for a minute. He grabbed her chin and tilted it upwards to see her eyes.

"Come on now . . you know I don't want to dump you" he said softly before kissing her tenderly. Once they finally broke off everyone but Inuyasha busted out in laughter. Inuyasha's eyes widened.

"you people are SICK! SICK! I say!" He said angrily before jumping up and ripping the cracker jack ring off of his finger.

( what am I talking about? What frickin' cracker jack ring you are asking? Well one night Inuyasha and Kagome were eating a cracker jack box and they got a little prize. Funny enough it was two rings they said for friendship. But Kagome and Inuyasha made a joke out of it an wore them together as a symbol of their boyfriend girlfriend relationship.)

"I AM dumping you!" he shouted angrily as he threw the ring into the pool and stormed off leaving Kagome speechless.

"shit . ." she mumbled sadly as tears welled in her eyes. "Maybe I was too hard on him!" she yelped before she felt comforting arms around her.

"Who can't take a joke now?" The voice whispered calmly in her ear. Ohhhhhh That did it!

"INUYASHA THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!" She yelled standing up and slapping him hard across the face. He simply smirked.

"Now you know how I feel when you play love tricks on me" he said simply getting her to realize.

"Oh Inuyasha I'm sorry!" she yelped placing gentle fingers on the new hand print on his face.

"Didn't that hurt?" she asked sadly.

"naw . . I don't really mind pain like that it burns a bit but . . oh well"

"aren't you mad? That I slapped you?"

"No all fair in tricks" He said simply as he hugged her gently.

"No more tricks" he whispered into her ear.

"I'm not promising anything" she mused back

"Then I don't either so you can't get pissed"

"Got it" she replied as she stepped back and kissed him.

Shippo, Miroku, and Sango just stood their, blinking. Shippo was amazed at how weird that was while Sango and Miroku smiled.

"You had your first fight guys!" Sango yelled triumphantly pointing at the couple, jumping up and down giddily. "And you're still a couple!" she added excitedly.

"Why don't we celebrate?" Inuyasha said with a tone in his voice everyone should be weary of if they didn't want to fall victim to some evil plan of his. Too bad he was too quick for 'em. He grabbed Sango's arm and Kagome's. He flung Sango into the pool escaping her reaching hands and finally dumped Kagome into the water. Miroku, as Inuyasha had planned, ran after Sango. Without even looking he put his foot out tripping the pervert and flinging him into the water to.

"well they deed is done" Inuyasha stated mater-o-factly with a slight airy tone and a superior downward look at the three in the pool. Shippo was smart enough to stay out of that one. So he just broke into mad laughter in the corner, that would have earned death glares, if they weren't so occupied with the thoughts of death to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha jumped in the pool before anyone could get the satisfaction of dragging him in. He dove down and reached for the cracker jack ring thankful that it hadn't moved toward the drain or anything. He slid it into the pouch that was in his swimming trunk's pocket.

"Inuyashaaaaaaa!" Came the inevitable and classic cry of warning from Kagome as she advanced on him in the water.

"ummm . . hi guys?" he replied ready for Kagome's attack. She jumped him in a hurry as the other two followed. Shippo watched in horror as the three teens battled it out all against one another after Kagome's attack party fell apart, because they didn't cooperate because Miroku was being too perverted and Sango refused to help. Shippo dove under the beach chair hiding his eyes from the death match a few feet from him. Suddenly the splashing stopped.

"They are dead!" Shippo squeaked as he turned around to find Miroku and Sango kissing along with Kagome and Inuyasha doing the same thing. There was only one phrase for this. That was well known throughout an Inuyasha house hold. It states simply:

WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS!?

How could it go from death to kissing. That is no fun now is it? What happened to the carnage and the killing and the good ol' violence? It just vanished? What the hell? No one was leaving that resort until there was blood shed and that was final. Well maybe a little less than blood shed or maybe a little more?

.

.

.

YAY finally I just got back from that place I went to and I have no idea how I wrote an entire chapter after getting off an airplane I was on all frickin day! But oh well. That chapter was just meant to look more into Kagome's past to tie up the loose ends. The whole 'first fight' thing was to show that THEY AREN'T GOING TO SPLIT UP! At least not any time soon! And I mean come on they are my favorite couple of course I would keep 'em together now wouldn't I? Anyway sorry it sucked just something for your mind to chew on while I get the next chapter up. Once again sorry for the delay! Flame Review Whatver!

Arigato!

Ciao!
