He was cut off by his train of thoughts when a flyer floated innocently
into his hands. He looked down, and grinned. Miroku would love this with
all his heart. THIS, is where his summer would be. He smiled at the thought
of surfing, and showing off his stunts on the board to everyone. His eye's
widened when he saw what the prize was.
"Two tickets to Tokyo, Japan."
He nearly fainted when he saw that. "It is all about winning. No matter
who I have to step on, I will win this." He said, firmly. He was going
to go see Kikyou.
Now, let me introduce Kikyou. Kikyou was his long-distance girlfriend
who lived in Tokyo only because her father had a big job opening there,
and had to take it. It would bring in a lot of money, which they needed.
So, she had no choice but to leave him. She promised she would call, write,
and send email. Which she did, once a month, and him also. If he could
go with Miroku, then it would be heaven.
Pure, blessed, heaven. He smiled, and put the flyer in his pocket. He
decided to take a lucky count-down on when school was up, for the bell
would ring.
"...1..."
*RING!*
"And, I win." He grabbed the red backpack that was sitting beside him,
and ran off to his motorcycle. He was on his way home, so he could meet
Miroku at his house. He grinned at the thought of this summer and the contest.
This summer held more surprises then he ever would have imagined.

Soakin' Up The Sun
Session Two
Getting There
Think you're going nowhere,
When you're walking down the street.
Acting like you just don't care,
When the life could be so sweet.
Why you wanna be like that?
Cause if there's nothing new,
you're not fooling no one.
You're not even fooling you.
So walk a little slower,
And open up your eyes.
Sometimes it's so hard to see,
The good things passing by.
There might never be a sign,
No flashing neon light.
Telling you to make your move,
When the time is right!
-Why Not?

Sango was on her way driving to a small city in Hawaii. Yes, Hawaii
was a wonderful place. It was hot, it was beautiful, and you never have
to suffer through those cold days. No snow to worry about shoveling, and
it was paradise. The water told it all. It seemed to have a story within
itself, and it could tell you all the greatest surfers on the world have
ridden them. It was pure pleasure, and bliss to say the least.
After about an hour, Sango turned down the very loud music that was
playing on her radio, and got out of the car. She locked it, and smiled
happily to herself. She ran up the Higurashi's steps, and got to the door.
She knocked, so excited, she would trample over anyone who answered the
door.
Kagome opened the door, and was thrown to the floor. Sango hugged her
as hard as possible without killing her, and said, "KAGOME! HI!"
Kagome was so excited, so she hugged back also, and had the same enthusiasm
as Sango. "HI SANGO!" She said, getting up and jumping around hyperly.
"I missed you so much! How have you been?" Sango said, shutting the
door and following Kagome up to her room. She lived on a shrine, and her
house was pretty big. She had a normal income, nothing more, nothing less.
Average was as pretty far you got with Kagome.
"I've been great! Its the last day of school, speaking of that.." She
opened up her backpack that now rested on her bed and pulled out a flyer.
Sango was surprised and pulled out the same one, and they faced the flyer
towards each other. They both got evil grins on their faces, and Kagome
said, "...are you thinking, what I'm thinking?"
Sango yelled out, "ROAD TRIP!" She put her fist up in the air,
and smiled joyously. Kagome, did the same. Sango got all her stuff packed,
as well as Kagome. Everything was together, and they sighed in exhaustion.
They flopped down on the bed and caught up on old times. They decided to
head out early tomorrow, and it would only take three or four hours to
get there. So, Sango set up a bed next to Kagome's, and Kagome filled her
mom in with all the information.
She sad yes of course, but they would have to be back a week before
school started to get ready. They shook hands, and giggled. Kagome made
some instant ramen, and brought it up in her room. She brought along different
kinds of snacks with her also, so they could have a little night to themselves
before they went out in the morning.
So, it was time for bed, and they both lay, covers pulled over them.
Sango spoke, "Kagome, you want to enter that bikini contest?"
"Yes!"
And that's where their trip started.
***
Miroku decided to leave in the night time to go to Inuyasha's, only
because there wasn't any traffic to deal with. He figured they would get
an early start tomorrow, and head off to the Honolulu. He grinned at the
flyer he had in his pocket, thinking of Inuyasha's reaction to a sporting
contest. He would love it with all his heart, and Miroku knew that for
a fact. Miroku had gone along and reserved a hotel and a room for them,
and smiled at the view they would be getting.
A Beach side view, which meant hott girl watching and binoculars! He
smiled and looked at the digital clock in the car. 10:54 PM. Not that late,
but he would have to get there soon if he wanted a decent amount of sleep.
He would make sure Inuyasha was driving tomorrow.
He finally arrived, and got out of his car, leaving his things in there.
He knocked on the door, and there was a sleepy Inuyasha with no shirt and
boxers on. "Well, this is a good first impression to your best friend,
ne?"
Miroku laughed, and Inuyasha groaned.
"Dude.. your late.. lets just go to bed, and then we can get an early
start in the morning, 'kay?" Inuyasha said, drowsily.
"Sure." Miroku was lead into the house, and Inuyasha lead him up to
his room. He closed the door behind him, and Inuyasha being the person
he was, already made Miroku a bed, and let him get ready. He then turned
out the lights, and slid back into the slumber he had before the door was
knocked upon.
"Your driving tomorrow."
"Deal."
And, that was their start on their very adventurous trip!
***
It was about 6:00 AM when both alarm clocks went off in both houses.
They were both very hectic, and very rushing. Everyone was getting their
stuff, and stuffing it into the biggest car available. After eating, and
talking for a bit, both parties set out for the once-in-a-life-time-occasion!
***
Kagome was driving the car, and blasting the music as loud as she could.
She was drummin' on the wheel, and singing 'till her hear was content.
Surprisingly, Sango slept through it all, having been used to it throughout
all the years with Kagome. She smiled when she looked at the sign that
said, "Fifteen miles until Honolulu Exit."
She pulled out her cell phone, and talked to a couple of friend's when
she suddenly got a roaming call. She picked it up, and said, "Hello?"
"Will you bear my child?"
Kagome swerved the car, and put it to a stop on the side of the road.
She turned down the music, and said, "Excuse me?"
*Click!*
She figured it was a prank call, and she continued her driving. She
smiled again, turning the music up. Sango was still asleep, and Kagome
grinned wider when she thought of the fun they would have. Especially with
the money they have! It was going to be a shopping spree down there!
***
Inuyasha smacked the cell phone away from Miroku as he dialed more numbers.
"God damnit, how many times do I have to tell you NOT to prank call
people?" He said, seriously.
"Well, I'm bored. Plus, the girl who picked up seemed like she had a
really nice voice, here listen.."
"You recorded it!?"
"Life is full of surprises." He held the phone up to Inuyasha's ear,
and he listened. The girl apparently did have a nice voice, but not as
nice as Kikyou's at all. Her voice was so angelic, but it was cold on occasions.
He smiled at the thought of her, and called her.
"Hey, Kikyou. Its Inu." He said, waiting for her response.
"Hey honey! How has it been going?" She said, happily over the phone.
She was sixteen, and had a 'bit of an attitude problem, but Inuyasha loved
her anyway.
But actually, lately he has been having second thoughts. She was there,
and he was here. There was not really a relationship going on, they haven't
even kissed. They haven't seen each other for awhile either, he was starting
to think he should break up with her. But, he didn't want to hurt her either.
He may have still had a little 'bit of feelings towards her, so he decided
he would wait until someone right came along. Then, he would probably dump
her.
"Its been going good actually, me and Miroku are heading off to Honolulu
for the summer. They have surfing contests, and everything you can imagine.
I wish you were here though.." He trailed off.
She smiled at the other end of the phone. "Sorry I couldn't be, maybe
next year?" She said, hopefully.
"Maybe.. maybe.." He said, looking at the signs on the road. He saw
the exit that lead off to Honolulu, and turned in there. He estimated at
least another fifteen minutes, and then they would be there. There were
no other car's on the road, thankfully. Him and Kikyou had a little talk,
then he had to go because they were there.
"Well, gotta' run, talk to you later!" He clicked the off button, and
grabbed their two overly packed suit-cases. Miroku got out, and grabbed
his from Inuyasha as he looked at the big hotel in front of them. It was
wonderful, Miroku was a good choice in this sort of thing.
Miroku looked around for other people, and saw tons of them. Girls were
everywhere, and he was starting to drool, then Inuyasha hit him upside
the head with his free hand. "Not the time, lets go!"
Two girls ran past them in the speed of light, making them drop their
suitcases. "STUPID! WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!" He yelled to
them. They didn't turn around, instead they just kept running. "People
these days..."
Those "people," they would be meeting soon.
***
Sango and Kagome had finally arrived at the hotel Kagome had booked
for them. They both thought a race would be nice on who could get to the
hotel stand first to release their energy. So, they ran, but they knocked
into two guys. They didn't care, they just wanted to win!
Sango had won, but only by an inch on a count of that she got a good
start. They both sat their suitcases down, and got the key to their room.
They chose the elevator only because it was easier, and they were tired
from the run. They got to their room, and opened it up. They smiled in
awe. The view was wonderful, as the room. It was HUGE! There were
two beds, a game system, all the necessities.. it was wonderful!
They put on their bikini's and got ready to go outside. They only brought
a towel and sandals, and went off to the beach! The contest would be held
around 3:00 PM today, and it was only 12:00 PM, so they had a good three
hours to have fun!
***
Miroku and Inuyasha got themselves situated, and got on their trunks.
They also only brought a towel, no shoes. Inuyasha still had his wallet,
as did Miroku with them. But, of course, Miroku brought his binoculars.
They ran out to the beach like little kids, racing to see who could get
there first. Inuyasha won, his long sliver hair flowing behind him as he
did so. He put his towel on the beach, lying it flat next to Miroku's.
They decided to go on the board-walk first, to buy some awesome new surfing
boards.
Inuyasha and Miroku had both gone into a shop that said, "Sunsations,"
and picked out new, cool, boards. Inuyasha got a black one, with red lightning
strikes going down the side. Miroku got a black one with a orange tiger
on it, growling and coming after you on it. They both paid, and went back
out to their spot on the beach. They took one last look at the waves, and
jumped in.
***
Sango and Kagome ran quickly to the beach, lying their towel's down
next to two other towels. They dived in, and swam all the way out to the
part where it started getting deep and colder. They smiled at each other,
and played "Marco Polo." Kagome had run into many people, and Sango
fell over a couple people. One time, Sango's lips made contact with someone's
chest, and she just dived underwater and swam away as fast as she could.
She couldn't live that one up if she met the person!
***
"Hey, Inu, I think a fish or something jumped on my chest. I felt something
there, it was weird." Miroku said, looking at his chest.
"Just your imagination.." Inuyasha said, getting back to riding the
waves.
This, was bound to be a great stay!
