Cruise to Paradise Resort

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I, Minoke Ninyou Himura, do not own Inu Yasha or any of the characters. * Weep* I'm pretty sure that I'll get over it eventually, though. :D

When We Last Left Our Friends.

The silence in the car was getting to pretty much every one, so I decided to turn on the radio. It was at the end of a song, but the one that started playing after it was one of my favorites. It was 'When Somebody Loves You' from Toy Story 2. I didn't know all of the words but that wasn't gonna keep me from singing.

" When somebody loves you, everything is beautiful. Every hour we spend together, stays within my heart.

And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears. And when she was happy, so was I. When she loved me."

" That sounds like a sad song, Kagome." Shippou said as he jumped up between Inu Yasha and me.

" Yeah, but even though it's sad I think the song is really good."

Inu Yasha looked over at me." Why did you stop singing?"

" Because I didn't know all of the words. But. There's a part coming up I know. It's a good part of the movie it's from. Here it is-

'She smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do. Like she loved me. Like she loved, me.

When somebody loves you, everything is beautiful. Every hour we spend together, stays within my heart. And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears. And when she was happy, so was I.

When she.loved.me.'"

" Hey, Kagome. Let's just play a game or something. That song was depressing."

" Okay, Sango. Would you want to play truth or dare?"

" Sure!" everyone said in unison.

" Okay. Sango, truth or dare?"

" Um. Truth."

" Is it true that you like Miroku?"

" Um.well.do I have to answer?" I nodded." Fine. Y-yes. It's true." Sango started to blush uncontrollably.

" Your turn, Sango."

" Okay, okay. Inu Yasha, truth or dare?"

Inu Yasha looked over at me out of the corner of his eye. " Dare."

" Ooooow! I've got a good one. Inu Yasha, I dare you to kiss Kagome when we stop for dinner. And it has to be a real kiss, not that 'peck on the lips' stuff." Sango grinned at the both of us. I started to blush slightly and so did Inu Yasha.

" Okay. Kagome, truth or dare?"

I looked over at Inu Yasha. He was looking at me waiting for an answer. I was really gonna have to kiss him and he didn't seem to have any problem with it. " Truth."

" Who do you like more, me or Hojo?"

Why in the hell did he care so much? " Oooow. That's a toughie," I said sarcastically." Duh, you!" Did I just blurt that out like that? Oh, crap." I mean, why would I choose Hojo? He can be.creepy.sometimes.

Inu Yasha grinned at me. " Okay, Kagome, it's your turn."

" Miroku, truth or dare?"

" I think I'll choose.dare"

" I dare you not to touch anyone in any sexual way until we get to the pier. And if you do, I'll sick Inu Yasha on you." Inu Yasha laughed and then shot Miroku a death look.

" I see. Well, Shippou, truth or dare?"

" Dare!" Shippou had a determined look on his small face.

" I dare you to try to get a girlfriend while we're on the cruise."

" No problem. It'll be easier for me since I'm not a pervert like you!"

" Hey, Kagome. What time is it? I'm really hungry." Sango yawned. I think there's more than one reason that she's hungry.

" It's almost six o'clock. I'll pull off the next exit so we can find a restaurant." Inu Yasha glanced at me from the corner of his eye again. I guess he hadn't forgotten about Sango's little dare. I couldn't help wondering what it would be like, kissing Inu Yasha. I'd thought about it before, but that was different 'cause then I wasn't fully aware that I was going to kiss him in a matter of minutes.

" Ah. There's an exit now. Do you guys mind pizza?"

" Nope." " Pizza sounds good." " Yay! Kagome's gonna get us pizza!" " I don't care. As long as it's good."

" Okay, here we go. We'll be there in about five minutes." I flipped the stereo back on. This time it was an Avril Lavine song, 'Skater Boy'." Hey, Sango, remember this song?" She'd heard it before when I brought my disc- man with me to the feudal era.

" Yeah, I love this song! Sing with me. Kagome."

" ' He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious? He was a punk. She did ballet. What more can I say? He wanted her. She'd never tell, but secretly she wanted him as well. But all of her friends stuck up their nose. They had a problem with his baggy clothes.

He was a skater boy. She said see ya later, boy. He wasn't good enough for her. She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space. She needed to come back down to earth!

Five years from now, she sits at home. She's feeding her baby, she's all alone. She turns on TV. Guess who she sees? Skater boy rockin on MTV. She calls up her friends. They already know. And they've all got tickets to see his show. She tags along, and stands in the crowd. Looks up at the man that she turned down.

He was a skater boy. She said see ya later boy. He wasn't good enough for her. She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space. She needed to come back down to earth.

Sorry, girl but you missed out. Well tough luck, that boy's mine now. Too bad that you couldn't see. See the man that boy could be. We are more than just good friends. This is how the story ends.

He was a boy, she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious? We are in love. Haven't you heard, how we rock each other's world!?!'"

" I hate it how radio stations cut off the end of songs like that. But good singing, Sango! We're here now." I parked the car, and all of us got out and stretched.

Just when I started to walk towards the restaurant, I was stopped by Sango.

" Wait just one minute there hun. You and Inu Yasha have a little something you need to do before we go inside."

I was thinking that she'd forgotten for a minute there. I turned and looked at Inu Yasha. He looked kind of embarrassed and was forming a nice blush across his cheeks. I took a deep breath and started to walk toward him.

" Well. Come on, you guys, I really am hungry." If I had dared Sango to kiss Miroku, she would have been nervous and taken a long time, too. Obviously she didn't know how rare kisses were for me.

I looked up at Inu Yasha and I felt a knot in my stomach as he looked into my eyes. He put his hand on my face, leaned down, and our lips met. I slowly opened my mouth and slid my tongue past his lips. After a couple of seconds, Inu Yasha returned the kiss, and I felt a rush of warmth run through me. He was such a good kisser. We finally pulled away and I stepped back, opening my eyes to look into his. Inu Yasha's golden eyes were shining as he grinned at me.

" Well, that went well. You guys want to eat now?"

I quickly snapped out of it." Yeah, I'm starving. Let's go and eat something."

After we had all eaten, we all pilled into the car again and I headed towards the hotel I had made reservations at. It was almost eleven, and we still had about an hour before we got to the hotel, and Sango and Miroku were already asleep. Sango had her head resting on Miroku's chest, and Shippou had settled on Sango's lap.

" Inu Yasha. Aren't you tired?"

He looked over at me from the passenger seat. He hadn't really said much for the past couple of hours. I looked over at him and, for the few seconds that our eyes met, I noticed how handsome he was. With the light of the full moon making his hair shin like silver.

" No. I'd figure that you're pretty tired, since you've been driving all day."

He was right. I could feel sleep itching at my eyes, and I had to keep opening my eyes really wide to stop them from drooping even further closed.

" Well, it's really a good thing that you're awake. That way you can keep me from falling asleep like those three." I moved my head towards Sango, Miroku, and Shippou.

As I watched the road I finally saw the sign that showed that our exit was next. I took it and within ten minutes I was pulling into the hotel parking lot.

" Get up! Miroku! Wake up Sango and Shippou." I got out along with Inu Yasha and went around the car to the trunk. Inu Yasha carried in most of the heavy luggage with Miroku, I carried me and Sango's bags, and Sango followed us with a sleeping Shippou in one arm and his small suitcase in her other.

I went up to the front desk, got the room key and led the others to the elevator. We got off on the fourth floor, found room 406, and walked inside. The room was pretty big and had four beds.

" I call this bed!" I ran to one that had a midnight blue down comforter on it and dropped my bag next to it. All of the beds were four-posts and made of carved wood, each with different colored silk hangings that were tied back.

After we all chose our beds, Sango's was on one side of mine, Inu Yasha's was on my other side, and Miroku's was on Sango's other side. Than I got changed and climbed into bed. I lay there thinking of Inu Yasha and, listening to the little kitsune next to me quietly breathing, I soon drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, as the others slept, Inu Yasha sat out on the balcony watching the stars and thinking of Kagome's soft lips as she had kissed him earlier that day. As he stepped back inside a slight breeze came in from the balcony, catching the partially closed hangings of Kagome's bed. He closed the sliding door and walked to his bed. As he lay there slowly drifting towards sleep, he heard Kagome whisper his name as she slept. He smiled and fell into a deep sleep, filled with dreams of Kagome's beautiful face.

Authors note: Yeah I know, kinda fluffy. But how cute is Inu Yasha? Oh, and sorry it's been so many chapters, but I promise that in the next one they will get to the cruise boat, okay? Review, please. Tell me whatcha think. Plus I'm needin some suggestions on what al I should put in the fourth chappy, so any input would be greatly appretiated! Thankies for all of the reviews!!!!
