Chapter 3- An Arrival to Remember
Kagome yawned, tuckered out from the long day of shopping. 'It was worth it though!' she smiled to herself. She had packed her bags the night before, with all the… essential…things she thought she should have, also all of the outfits that she bought the previous day, and many of her own.
"Come on Kagome! You're going to be late!" she heard her mother call to her from downstairs.
"I'm coming mom! Geez," she replied and got into one of the many outfits that she had bought yesterday. It was a red spaghetti strapped top, which had three straps. One over her shoulder, one pretty much at the corner, and one hanging down on her arm. Also it had shades of pink swirled into it. To top off the ensemble, she put on a black skort also she wore black flip-flops to match.
Today they didn't have to wear their uniforms because they were just going to be meeting at the airport. 'I wonder who our chaperone will be?' she asked herself, as she started to bring her bags downstairs. It took one other trip to bring them all down and be put in the trunk of her car.
"All right, I'll see you in three weeks mom," she spoke while giving her a hug goodbye.
"Have fun!" her mother replied and waved her off.
One of the men who worked at the airport saw Kagome with her bags and jumped at the chance to help her out, he brought her over a trolley and loaded all of her bags on.
"Thanks!" Kagome smiled.
"Would you like me to bring it in for you miss?" he asked.
"Um… No I can take it from here, but thanks anyway!" she gave him a departing smile, locked her car, put her keys in her purse, and started to push the trolley in.
"Ok… 215… or was it 216? I don't remember," she said to herself, and looked around in search of her friends. But what she did find was something, or rather someone, she did not want to see, knowing that this someone would be their chaperone. "Oh no!" she whined, and tried to hide behind a plant that was near her.
"Higurashi!" their math teacher yelled, "It's about time you got here! I was about to file you as a missing person! But come on the boarding is this way."
(AN- um… I guess I better give the math teacher a name now…how about Miss. Pepperton…? Good enough! ^. ~)
Miss. Pepperton grabbed her by the arm and started pulling her towards the boarding to Hawaii, Kagome reached back and managed to get a hand on her trolley, which started to be pulled by Miss. Pepperton as well.
"Miss. Pepperton…?" Kagome started; wincing at the pain she was causing her wrist.
"Yes," she replied, still dragging her.
"You're hurting my arm…" she squeaked.
Miss. Pepperton let go, "Sorry about that."
Kagome then realized what her teacher was wearing, she wore a short cut sundress, decorated in sunflowers, sun styled sunglasses, and bright orange high-heels, her outfit proved her to have an… outgoing personality…to go with her full head of white hair, and many, many wrinkles where they usually are, and aren't supposed to be.
"Finally!" Kagome breathed when she saw Sango inching away from Miroku who was gaping at her ensemble. She wore a sky blue top that had ruffles around the sleeves and chest area, also a pair of denim capris and red, white and blue skate shoes to finish it off. Miroku's reason for gaping was because he had never seen her out of school uniform before, and also because he could almost see down the front of her shirt if he got close enough. She smiled and waved at Sango, who returned the greeting, but had to slap Miroku across the face so he could give her breathing room. Miroku just had on tan khaki shorts that went to his knees, and a black tank top, muscle shirty thing, what ever you want to call it.
Her gaze turned to Cameron who was talking to Koga, her face turning red and blushing when it was his turn to talk. She was also wearing a skort that they both had bought at the same time, except hers was red, her top was tight on her and was black, revealing a whole lot of curves, she wore red flip-flops to match her skort. Koga was wearing tan knee long shorts, and a blue wife beater for a top.
She looked around for Inuyasha, but didn't see him, that is until he heard him from behind, "Looking for me then Kagome?" he asked.
She flipped around red in the face, "Um… No…?"
"Right, so anyway, do you think you've brought enough?"
She shrugged her shoulders, "I've brought just as much as Cameron and Sango, well maybe not Cameron, since she has all of her sports stuff, but yeah, I think I've got just about enough."
Before Inuyasha could say anything back the loudspeaker sounded, "Final boarding call for Hawaii,"
"That would be us students, come on hustle!" Miss. Pepperton ordered and pointed them towards the door. "Oh, yes and I almost forgot, you will be sitting with your seating partners that you were assigned yesterday in class," she smiled and pushed them towards the doors.
They all stared at her dumbly, "Well, since I now know that you behave better this way you'll find that you will be sharing many, well, all of the experiences in Hawaii with them, like roommates, escorts and so on so forth,"
They all agreed with her that it was a good idea, but forbade themselves for giving her a reason that she may have done something right.
As they all entered the plane Kagome let out a sigh, and raced to where herself and Inuyasha were assigned to sit.
"Ha! Window seat!" she spoke and plopped down.
"That's no fair!" Inuyasha whined.
"Sure it is, you were slow, and I got here first," she pointed out.
"Stupid wench," he mumbled, and flopped down beside her.
Koga led Cameron onto the plane, and allowed her to sit in the window seat.
"You're actually letting me sit here? I thought you wanted to," she asked.
"Yeah well…" he started, trying to think of a reason.
~~~~~`*Flashback to when Cameron was blushing when Koga was talking earlier~~~~~`*
"So you pumped for this trip?" Cameron asked him, as she heaved her luggage up onto the luggage cart.
"I think so," he spoke staring at her outfit, 'Whoa, she looks pretty good…'
"Koga? What's wrong?" she asked, looking concerned.
"What? Oh, nothing," he replied.
"So who did you guys choose as roommates?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Well, that's what I'm not sure of, besides she didn't even say if were partnering with…guys…" he said.
"So, you're saying that you wouldn't mind being partnered with a girl?" she asked.
He shrugged in response.
"So, if you were to be roommates with a girl, who would you want to be with?" she asked again.
"Well… Sango beats every guy that looks at her, so there's a no, and Kagome is taken by Inuyasha, he says that any guy that bugs her except for him is dead, god knows what that means. Then there's you…" he stopped and looked at his feet.
"And me…" she urged him on, beginning to feel pink in the cheeks.
"Well, I want to be partnered with someone I can have fun with and have a good time…with someone I like," he smiled at her.
Cameron could definitely feel her face turning red now, and she saw Kagome coming in, "Really?"
Koga smiled and put his arm around her shoulders again, except a little bit more gently this time, "You bet, but don't think I forgot about my revenge," he whispered, and led her onto the plane.
"Heh heh, I thought you forgot about that,"
~~~~~`*End Flashback*`~~~~~
"Well…" Cameron said, snapping him out of his flashback.
"Oh, well, the waitress will give me my food first," he replied.
Cameron rolled her eyes and sat down into the seat, putting one of the many purses that she had bought the day before on her lap.
"Since when do you have a purse?" Koga asked her, sitting down, still disappointed in the answer he had given Cameron a second ago.
"Since Sango and Kagome said they look good with my new outfits," she replied.
"Well, it does look pretty good," he admitted, not realizing that he had said that out loud.
"Really?" she asked, not believing what he had just said.
"I mean…" he stuttered, he was about to say it looked horrible on her when he saw the look on her face, "Uh… yeah,"
She smiled at him and took out her cell phone.
"Ah, we are put together at last. Aren't you happy Sango?" Miroku asked as he led her to their seats.
"Ecstatic," she said unemotionally, as he held his arms open for a hug, unfortunately for him, Sango was polite and let Miss. Pepperton pass. The only reason she was being nice to her, was because she saw this as a perfect opportunity for revenge on Miroku for rubbing her in various places over the years.
"Come now my love! Give Miroku a hug!" he had his eyes closed waiting for her embrace.
The teacher stopped and started at him.
"Oh Miroku…" he heard Sango's voice off to the side, and he opened an eye to see her collapsed on the floor laughing her head off.
He opened the other to see Miss. Pepperton eyeing him closely.
"Nope there's no way out of this one," he mumbled to himself.
"Miroku, do us a favour and find someone your own age," she spoke, and walked away mumbling about troublesome teenagers, and punks.
"Sango, why would you do something like that to me?" he asked.
"Don't worry about it Miroku, now that I got that off my back, I'm not so mad at you anymore," she smiled and plopped down in the windows seat.
"Would you like something else on your back now then?" he spoke, and started to rub her back as he sat down.
She smiled a fake smile and turned in her seat to face him. He opened his arms once again for a hug, but did not get the response he was hoping for…
SLAP
Everyone in the coach class turned to see Miroku on the floor gripping his cheek, Sango however had tuned on her Discman and started to listen to her mixed cd of pop, punk, rap, and some good ol' country tunes.
~~~~~`*6-7 hours later*`~~~~~
Koga finished off his meal and handed the dishes to the stewardess that was going by. Cameron, who was way too nervous to eat, decided instead to take some pictures for her scrapbook.
"Can I ask you a question?" Koga asked her, while she was winding up her camera.
"Sure," she replied, turning to face him.
"How can you find time to make a scrapbook if you're involved in so many things? Basketball, volleyball, soccer, track…"
"Softball, boxing, horseback riding, baseball, tutoring, babysitting, my job… I don't actually know really, I guess I make time," she answered.
"You're in all of that?" he spoke and turned to her with an awestruck face.
'Ooh, got to have that picture,' she thought to herself and smiled.
`CLICK`
"Hey!" Koga said, covering his face from the flash, he started to rub his eyes so he could see again.
`CLICK`
Koga growled and lunged at the camera.
`CLICK` `CLICK` `CLICK`.
"Ow! My eyes! Would you stop?" he asked squinting at her, trying to see.
"Ok, just you wait till you're sleeping," she remarked, and looked past him into the aisle, where a really hot steward was walking by.
`CLICK`
She smiled at him, and asked for him to turn to face her, "It's for my scrapbook, is it all right if I take another?"
He smiled and posed for her.
`CLICK`
Koga fumed red with rage and jumped up blocking her next picture of the steward. "Get back to work!" he yelled at him.
He nodded and darted to the next coach.
"Ooh, jealous are we?" she smirked at him.
"No!" he replied blushing, and slumped back down into his seat.
"Koga?"
"What?"
"Do you want me to take your picture again?"
"No!"
Kagome was listening to music as she saw Inuyasha's head drooping from the long flight. She had taught him the 'the or it' game, that her and a friend had made up in her childhood for long bus rides, they had listened to music, chowed down on sundaes and not once did he call her wench.
'Wow, I guess he really can be a nice guy,' she thought to herself, while staring at him, 'I guess he's just starting to grow on me, wait a minute…why am I staring at him?' she asked herself, as he drifted off to sleep. "Heh, heh, I think I have an idea…" She said aloud to herself and rubbed her hands together in a maniacally way. "This is going to be good."
She dug around in her purse for the materials that she needed. Compact, blush, eye shadow, lip stuff and… eyeliner.
'Now for the artwork,' she thought to herself as she started to draw.
She took her lip stuff and made Inuyasha's lips nice and shiny, she used the compact to make it look like he had very tanned skin, the blush to make his cheeks nice an rosy, the eye shadow to give him a mysterious dark look, and finally the eyeliner to make a uni-brow, moustache and beard on his sleeping face.
People around them had started to laugh at Kagome's work. Inuyasha woke startled at the noise, "What the…? Will you people shut up! Can't a guy sleep in peace?" he yelled.
Somewhere in the plane, Kagome heard things like, 'Guy?' and 'Don't you mean beauty sleep,' she found this incredibly funny, and turned away from him to hide it.
"So Sango how about we get this party started?" he chimed, calling the stewardess over.
"How do you mean?" she asked eyeing him closely.
"Yes?" the stewardess approached.
"Ok, I would like… let's see," before he continued he whispered into Sango's ear. "Why should we put all this to waste?" he smiled pointing at the dessert selection.
"But it'll make me fat!" Sango whined.
"My dear Sango, in my eyes you are as perfect as can be," he whispered again, and his eyes moved over the menu.
Sango blushed as Miroku ordered, "All right, you better have a paper and pen ready," he laughed and continued, "We'll have all the sundaes you have to offer, a piece of every type of pie you have, and do that with the cake too, and I almost forgot, silly me, two strawberry milkshakes," he passed her back the menu and leaned against the back of the seat.
"You're going to eat all of that?" Sango asked staring at him.
Miroku had toned out of what she was saying and saw her staring, "Like what you see my dear sweet Sango?" he smirked and put his arm around her shoulders.
She sighed and decided that since no one else was around, she would let Miroku get away with it just this once.
He looked at her surprised at her reaction; "So you do love me!" he chimed, and yet again opened his arms for a hug, "Come now my love! Our future starts now!" He had his eyes closed in happiness and yet again waited for her embrace, he opened his eyes to see her seat empty but the stewardess was standing there staring at him, kind of like the way Miss. Pepperton had looked at him earlier.
She didn't respond but faked a smile and turned the tray she was carrying all the desserts on, on top of his head.
"Ah! It's cold!" he squealed, and wiped some of the glace from his face.
Sango returned after the stewardess had gone and looked at Miroku, "What… Wait, I don't want to know." She sat down in her seat and flipped through a magazine.
"Sango…" Miroku spoke.
"What?" she asked, but instead of a response, she received cold ice cream, poured on to the top of her shiny, black hair.
"Miroku!" she wailed, and headed off to the bathroom again.
"Ah," he said as if he was thoroughly refreshed, "This will be fun."
Cameron and Koga had fallen asleep about half an hour after the camera incident. Cameron's head was rested on Koga's shoulder and his rested on top of hers.
"Attention passengers, the plane is about to land," Koga heard this and bolted awake.
"What the… Oh yeah," he spoke.
Before he buckled his seatbelt tighter, he felt something on his shoulder. He turned his head to see what it was to see Cameron's brown hair resting there.
"Oh…" he whispered to himself, "Hmmm…" he said and tapped his chin with his finger as if he was thinking, "Time to get back at her for taking pictures of that steward," he whispered once again.
Koga put his duffel bag where his shoulder used to be and ran to the bathroom, put some foam/liquid soap in a cup and went back to his seat. Dipping his finger into the soap, he made streaks of foam going down her hair covering her sun streaks. Once he was finished he threw the cup into the garbage and nudged her awake, "Hey Cameron, we're here," he spoke.
"Aw, mommy, I don't want to go to school today, I want to stay home and make cookies with you," she mumbled still half asleep, "Wait a… Koga?" she squeaked while blushing.
"Yeah, anyway we're here," he said and picked up his duffel.
"Really? Awesome!" she squealed, and grabbed her purse, put her camera in it and flung it over her shoulder, sending some of the foam off of her hair and onto the seat.
"Hey… Cameron?" Sango waved over to her, her eyes fixed upon her white streaks.
"Hey!" Cameron smiled and ran to join the group.
"Whoa! What's up with your hair?" Inuyasha asked, still not knowing about his own problem.
"What do you mean?" she said, and ran a hand through her hair, feeling the gooze of soap all over her hand, "Koga!" she yelled and ran after him. Koga was laughing his head off when she finally caught up to him and pinned him against the wall.
"So what are you going to do now?" Koga smirked.
"Hmmmm…." She thought aloud, and reached into her purse, "This,"
"You wouldn't,"
"I would,"
`CLICK``CLICK``CLICK``CLICK``CLICK``CLICK``CLICK`
"My eyes!" he moaned and fell to the ground.
She walked back over to the others and turned to face Inuyasha again, "What's up with your face?" she asked, and leaned to the side on one leg observing him, and got her camera out again.
`CLICK``CLICK``CLICK`
"What do you mean…" he started and reached a hand up to his face, before bringing his hand back down he saw a group of girls point at him and whisper to another, then started to giggle. He brought his hand back down and looked at it, "What…" There was glittery clear stuff, black powdery stuff, red stuff too, and then there was something like black marker, "… Kagome!" he screamed and chased her around the airport.
"Please forgive me Inuyasha!"
"Never!"
While those two were off squabbling Cameron turned to Sango, "What happened to your hair?" she asked.
Sango did not say anything but jabbed her thumb in Miroku's direction. He was off talking to some girls in the corner. "Hmm…" she said, and walked over to him. "Miroku! How could you! Have you forgotten about the children!" she fake fumed to him, while stepping in front of the other girls.
"What…" he started.
"Don't play that with me! You know perfectly well what I'm talking about!" she yelled. By that time the girls had tiptoed away from them out of sight.
Miroku looked around for them, "My love! Why would you do that to me, and what children is it you're speaking of?"
Sango rolled her eyes at him, "Why do you think?" she spoke while pointing at her hair.
Miss. Pepperton had finally caught up with them, "Children, assemble!" she yelled, making the rest of the airport go silent. They made their way over to her once everyone had begun hustling about again. "Now all your luggage is already on the bus so no worries come now, it's off to the Hotel, and by the looks of it, some… well most of you, had best clean up, then it's off to bed." She spoke and motioned for them to follow her to an awaiting bus.
When everyone was about to get on, Miss. Pepperton cut them off at the door, "Sit with your assigned partners!" she warned, "Or else."
They were too tired to argue so they all found seats and felt the bus starting to move. "First dibs on shower!" the girls all yelled at the guys.
"No fair!" they had all replied at the same time except for Miroku who had just smiled widely.
AN- well I hope you liked this chapter, next one will be ready soon, and just in case you were wondering, the 'the or it' game, is a game that me and a friend had made up in grade 2. Its just, you choose to words, you pick one of them and the other person tries to guess which one you picked. It was grade 2 people! And it was a long bus ride to my school! So yeah, please review! I haven't gotten any yet! Except from my sister, but she doesn't count! ^_~
