THE ODDLY UNEXPECTED
CHAPTER 2
~*~*~*~*~
To all of everyone's prayers, it was finally time to go home. The girls thankfully weren't on duty for the next two weeks, which meant one thing only.
"PARTYYY!!" Ayame screamed out of the window of Kagura's car. Kagome and Sango whooped from the back seats, and Kagura somehow still not deaf for some reason.
"Where are we going tonight? It's only 8 o'clock and I'm feeling restless!" Kagome said to Kagura, as they drove on the highway towards downtown L.A. Kagura shrugged.
"I dunno...where you guys wanna go?" she asked. Sango shrugged. But before she was going to say anything, a car next to them honked their horn and rolled down their windows.
"Hey! It's Hakkaku and Ginta!" Kagome said, "HEY GUYS! WHERE YA HEADIN'?!" The other guys waved a greeting and shrugged.
"WE HAVE NO IDEA! WE'RE JUST GONNA CRUISE AROUND! YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO JOIN THE FUN!" The girls looked at Kagura, who nodded and smiled.
"WHERE SHOULD WE STOP AND CHILL, HAKKAKU?!" Kagura yelled. Hakkaku grinned evilly.
"HOW BOUT THE BEACH! I HEARD THE GOLDEN-BRIDGE NEWBIES ARE GONNA BE THERE FOR A PARTY!"
"ALL RIGHT! WE'LL BE THERE!" Kagome waved at the two wolf youkai, and closed their windows. As Kagura sped up faster on the currently open highway, Hakkaku sped up also and went ahead of her, a widely evil smile on his face. And before you know it, a simple drive to the beach became an adrenaline-rushed race. The girls were cheering on their driver as Ginta was now and then glancing at the car next to them and telling him to speed up more.
Around the midst of a few turns, swerves, U-turns, and breaks and screeches both cars arrived at their final destination. Kagura and the girls were whooping and cheering with screams and yells, smiles glued on their faces and fingers pointing towards the losers.
"HA ha!" Ayame smiled, "We wooon! We wooon!" She bust a move with her hips and shoulders, "Uh huh! Uh huh!"
"Girl work it! Girl work it!" The other three girls clapped on as Ayame danced away towards the party, meeting everyone back from work.
"YO! It's the rookie and the baby girls!" Their friends Kirara and Kaede (who's 26), greeted them while they handed them a bottle of cold beer. Kagome, Sango, and Kagura took the bottles with joy, but Ayame wasn't offered one. Instead they gave her a diet Pepsi can.
"Poor Ayameeee!" Kagura said putting an arm around her shoulders. Ayame sneered evilly at her as she popped the bottle open.
'Boy it sucks to be underage!' Sango and Kagome laughed out loud as they opened up their bottles and drank a sip.
~*~*~*~*~
Around a campfire, Inuyasha and Miroku were enjoying their hot freshly made burgers from the grill. They took a bite of it and Inuyasha's taste buds were tingling.
"My god! I can't believe we're eating burgers on the beach, man! My butt the Sheriff back in San Frank would let us do this!" Miroku nodded repeatedly as he swallowed.
"True that, my good friend, true that." But before he bit again on his burger, a smile spread across his face. Inuyasha looked at the happy-faced Miroku with a raised eyes and a bored face.
"What's got you so hyped up, punk?" he asked. Miroku didn't respond, and instead put his burger aside and walked off. Inuyasha looked where he headed, and Inuyasha looked at two girls.
"Oh shit."
~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and Sango were in the midst of an unknown conversation, until someone stepped behind Sango.
"Good evening, ladies." Sango turned her head and looked at a pair of large navy-blue eyes, staring right into her face like a snake would to a mouse.
"Hi... And you are...who?" Sango asked with confusion. Miroku swooshed in front of her and placed an open hand on his chest.
"My friends call me Miroku," he smiled, "and I just can't handle but wonder what a girl like you should be called..." Sango glanced over to Kagome who was as dumb-founded as she was.
"My name's Sango," she said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you...Sango," he said closing up towards her, and his hands trailing down slowly towards her butt. Sango's eyes widened and she felt his hand massage her butt and so slapped the perverted man in the face and clenched her fists.
"You touch me like that again and you'll be asking for a death wish, bastard!" she yelled. Miroku groaned as Sango walked away, Kagome glaring at Miroku and following her friend.
As Inuyasha finished his 3rd burger, Miroku came back, a bag of ice on his left cheek. Inuyasha looked at him bored-like.
"Let me guess. You were introducing yourself to the girls?" he asked. Miroku looked away, his sigh indicating a yes. Inuyasha noticed the girl whom he supposed was the victim of the hour, and then saw the girl whom he knew now was Kagome. Inuyasha smirked a grin and walked towards them.
~*~*~*~*~
"I can't believe that dude was trying to fill you in, Sango!" Ayame said, "what a desperado!" Sango gruffed and sipped her beer. Kagome was next to the angry and moody Sango, before she noticed someone interrupting the moment. Kagome turned towards the dog hanyou that she saw earlier in the day, as he looked at both of them with open eyes.
"Are you both all right?" he asked, "I'm sorry my friend Miroku had to be such an ass." Kagome looked at him with a sweet grin.
"Well, I'm fine. But my friend here isn't too happy," she said, "she hates being groped like that." Inuyasha scoffed.
"Who doesn't?" he smiled, "I told him to try and resist for today, but I guess he now owes me $20." Kagome giggled.
"So why is a guy like you hanging around with an ass like him?" she asked. Inuyasha shrugged.
"I don't have any other friend than him," he said, "my brother's an ass and Kouga and I aren't in very good terms."
"Ooh," she said, "so your name's Inuyasha, am I right?" Inuyasha smiled and nodded.
"And don't forget it," he said. Kagome scoffed a smile.
"I'm Kagome," she said. She pointed her thumb towards the girl behind her, "and that's Sango." Inuyasha nodded a hello towards her, and Sango grinned.
"Nice to meetcha," she said shaking hands with him.
"And those are my other two friends Kagura and Ayame," she said.
"Pleasure," he said shaking both of their hands. Kagura smiled and Ayame responded "You too."
"Why don't you come and join us?" Kagura asked, pointing towards the chair next to Kagome. Inuyasha shrugged and sat down.
"So do you like in here in L.A., man?" Ayame asked, "I hear that it's fun over there in San Francisco." Inuyasha waved his hands, his eyes thoughtful.
"It's Ok. I've been in L.A. for only a few days, and I'm really liking it so far. Thing is I don't know anywhere around here. My brother got lost while driving down here."
"It's not that hard to get to L.A., you know," Kagura giggled, "that brother of yours must be a clumsy driver." Inuyasha chuckled.
"I'm the one who's clumsy," he said, "my brother's not that bad of a driver." But when he closed his eyes and drink his next beer, he felt his ear being massaged and tugged.
"Ow! Hey!" he said, "that's not cool!" Kagome giggled.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't resist! They're so cuuute!" she said starry-eyed. Inuyasha raised an eyes brow and looked at Sango.
"Is she drunk?" he said.
"Who knows?" she shrugged. Inuyasha scoffed a smile.
Suddenly someone cranked up the stereo, and Kagome smiled widely and screamed with joy. Sango and Ayame walked towards the dancing crowd. Kagura wasn't much of a party animal, and so opened up her third beer.
"Wanna dance?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome smiled.
"Sure why not?" she asked. They walked on to the crowd and so started dancing to the beats of Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body". Kagome leaned her back towards Inuyasha's chest, as he puts his hands on her waist and swung from side to side to the rhythms of the song. Sango was dancing with her friend Kirara, while Ayame was dancing joyfully with Hakkaku and Ginta.
~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru was on the other side of the crowd, as he was pushing through some dance-crazed people and some guys puking on the trash cans nearby. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes, and so grabbed his first beer.
"Having fun, newbie?" Sesshomaru turned towards a girl whom Totosai said was named Kagura. She was coolly holding her beer bottle, a welcoming smile across her face. Sesshomaru stared at her coldly.
"Is it that obvious?" he asked sarcastically. Kagura smiled.
"Quite," she said, "you can come and join me in my little world of misery, or you can just look like me with that threatening look on your face for the rest of the party." Sesshomaru looked at her reassuringly, and then took a chair and sat down next to her.
"That little brother of yours seems like a nice guy," she told him. Sesshomaru scoffed.
"He's such a childish dimwit," he said, "he thinks the whole world's in love with him."
"How come you're not like him?" she asked, "you'd be a ladies' man in no time." Sesshomaru glanced at her and smirked.
"The reason I'm sitting here is not to become friends," he said coldly, "I'm here to request you a challenge." Kagura put down her bottle interested in his words.
"Tell me more," she said.
~*~*~*~*~
Kouga was in the middle of the crowd dancing with a group of guys, but before he bust his last move, his eyes turned towards Inuyasha, his stone blue eyes fiery with anger and a sudden outrage. It was as if he was looking at a robber stealing a newfound treasure. Kouga growled slowly, as he menacingly started walking towards the dancing duo. He grabbed Inuyasha by the arm and pulled him away from Kagome harshly.
"What do you think you're doing, you mutt face?" Kouga asked bitterly, his hand squeezing Inuyasha's arm. Inuyasha looked at him coolly.
"I'm dancing with a friend of mine. Got a problem with it, flea bag?" he asked. Kouga punched Inuyasha in the face, and sent him flying a good 6 feet in the air.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? You have no reason to hurt him like that!" Ayame said, running next to Kagome. Kouga seemed to ignore Ayame, while Inuyasha stood up strong and growled at him.
"I saw her first, dog turd! Don't you dare lay a hand on my woman again...ever!" Inuyasha scoffed.
"Since when was she your woman? Do you even know who she is, numb-butt?" Inuyasha asked.
"Her name's Kagome, and she's my woman. Mine! So don't you even reconsider in touching her again!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes, his eyes now on Kagome, who stood behind him.
"This is obviously a lie, correct?" Kagome nodded.
"I don't even know you!" she said to Kouga, "so please stop treating like property! I'm an independent woman, I don't need a man protecting me all the time!" Kouga started walking towards Kagome, and stopped until his chest was an inch away from hers.
"You are my woman. End of discussion. Got it?" he said. Kagome's face grew red with fury as she slapped him in the face and scoffed angrily.
"I say it once and I say it twice. I. Am NOT. Your woman!" she said. She turned towards Kagura, who was talking to who seemed like Inuyasha's brother. She then turned to Sango and Ayame, who was eying the whole scenery wide-eyed as everyone else.
"I'm outta here," Kagome mumbled. Sango and Ayame didn't bother arguing to stay longer, and so followed her.
~*~*~*~*~
"...So you want a duel in Vortex Layer?" Kagura asked. Sesshomaru nodded.
"I want to see if Totosai really meant it when he said you were one of his strongest," he said, "so we have a deal or not?" Kagura looked at his extended hand suspiciously at first, but then smiled and took it.
"Bring it on, Golden Boy."
"Kagura, let's go," Kagome said bitterly. Kagura stood worriedly.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I'll explain on the way. Can we please just ditch this trashy place?" Kagura nodded and took her purse. They soon went in the car and they were gone.
"It's not even midnight, man," Miroku said checking his cell phone. Inuyasha looked at the departing car with anger and concern in his eyes and face. He then eyed Kouga, who was now icing his cheek with ice. Sesshomaru knew Inuyasha pretty well, and so he walked next to him.
"Wanna go?" he said jingling the keys to the car. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at him, but then rolled his eyes and nodded.
