Author's Note: Kouga is back! And Inuyasha is with Kagome! How will this end up?


***


"Then why the hell are we here, and talking like this?" Inuyasha said, needing to be reminded.


"Because our best friend's decided they would get together and have wild sex, so you have to stay and enjoy this calm atmosphere with me." She opened the door to the bedroom. "Okay, we both hate each other, and nothing is going on. Nor, will it ever. So, as long as we stay on separate sides of the bed, we're okay."


"Fine." He got ready for bed, as did Kagome. They both hopped in, and Kagome turned out the lights.


It was silent. You couldn't hear anything, and a small light illuminated their room, it was the moon.


"Goodnight, Inuyasha." Kagome said, rolling over.


"Goodnight, wench." Inuyasha said, rolling over the other way.


Kagome managed a smile, and laughed a little. "I just find it so funny, that we just met each other today, and we're sleeping in the same bed."


"Well, life does have its bad points." Inuyasha said, looking out the window.


"Yeah.. and its.. wonderful... ones.." Kagome drifted off into sleep, and Inuyasha could tell by her light breathing. He rolled over again, now facing her face. He looked into her's, and smiled.


He shut his eyes, and got ready for the long day he would have tomorrow.

It was about 7:00 AM when Inuyasha woke up, and jumped out of bed, literally. Sometime, during the night, he had wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and she wrapped her hands around his neck. He stared at where he was lying, and sighed. He went into the bathroom, and changed, and got ready for the day. He decided to just let Kagome sleep, and walk out on the balcony. He was sitting out there for about twenty minutes, when a fully dressed Kagome came up behind him.


"You ready to run?" She said, smiling. She held onto her surfboard, and smiled. He sighed and looked at her.


"Yup. All ready." He grabbed his surfboard and they both walked outside to the beach.


***


About ten minutes later, they were there, and Inuyasha was showing off, as usual. He was amazing, and the way he moved his body, was wonderful. She thought she had no chance, but then she remembered that guy she met yesterday and taught her a little bit of surfing techniques. She could so far get on, and balance.


He finally got off the board, and smiled at her. "If you think you can win, your mistaken little girl."


"I don't think so." A masculine voice came from behind him. His eyes narrowed, as he slowly turned to look behind him.


"And what the fuck are you doing here, wolf?" Inuyasha said, dangerously.


"I'm the surfer instructor. I have every right to be here. So, why don't you just go off and flirt with some girls, while I have some time with Kagome, ne?" Kouga said, putting his hands on Kagome's shoulders.


Inuyasha shrugged. "Sure, go right ahead." He didn't care, not one little bit what happened to that girl, she could rot in hell. He walked off, back to the hotel room to play some of those game systems he saw earlier..


"So, Kagome. What do you need to learn now? Some tricks that will make you win.. oh I know!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her out to the water.


In no time, they were surfing and doing really awesome tricks. Inuyasha decided to come back and watch, and felt just a small pang in his heart because of the way she smiled at him. She never smiled at him like that, well damn, she never SMILED at him! He flattened his ears to his head, and had on a puppy-dog-face look. He watched, and when Kouga and Kagome came into shore, she was laughing and having a wonderful time.


She sat down next to Inuyasha. "Hey, that was great. Thanks so much, I'll see you tomorrow then?"


"Sure, same time, same place." Kouga said. Kagome leaned up and kissed him on the cheek good-bye. Now, that NEVER happened to Inuyasha!


He had, had enough. "Okay, wolf. Keep your filthy paw's off her, understand me?" Inuyasha said, getting a tad-bit jealous of all this stuff. He was fed up, enough was enough.


"Why should I? She needs someone who cares for her, not who ignores her and makes rude comments about her." Kouga scowled.


"Because, your not good enough for her, you fag!" He said, getting his fists clenched together if needed.


Kagome stood there with an arched eye-brow. She was watching this scene with much pleasure, and was almost on the point of breaking out in laughter.


"Oh, like you are?" Kouga began.


"Well, I'm a better choice! At least I would protect her!"


"I would love her!"


"I would kiss her!"


"I would...-" Before that comment was made, Kagome had fallen over on her towel and laughed so hard, tears were coming to her eyes.


"You.. guys.. are fighting over who would love me more? Oh Inuyasha, I think you hit your head.." She laughed some more, while they both just stood there.


"Well, I'll talk to you later, Kagome." Kouga walked away, to the other side of the beach. Kagome was still laughing, and Inuyasha kneeled down next to her, and whispered quietly into her ear,


"I still hate you." He poured sand all over her, and walked away.


She stopped laughing and now groaned. Luckily, Sango came down finally, and helped her up. "So, have a fun time with Miroku?"


Sango's face turned red, and she looked down at her feet. Kagome grinned. "I'll take that as a yes, but for now, you wanna' catch a movie?"


Sango smiled, "Sure, which one?"


"I don't know, whatever is out there. Lets go!" Kagome grabbed the car keys out of Sango's hands and raced her to the car.


***


They were now at the movies, with a big bag of popcorn, and two drinks. It was nice and cold in there, but Kagome was freezing. They started watching the movie when it came on, and suddenly two people came stumbling in, running up to their row. They sat down next to them, and Kagome paid them no mind. She kept watching the movie, and suddenly, she sneezed. Someone behind her gave her a tissue, and she said a quiet, "Thank you."


Apparently, the guy next to her knew her voice. "Kagome, if that's you, I am going to strangle you." The guy said, looking over at Kagome. Kagome closed her eye's, and breathed in deeply.


"Well, Inuyasha, if that's you, then I'm going to slap you as hard as I can." Kagome said, rubbing her temples.


"I hate you.." They both said, sighing. They always met up, and it was starting to get really annoying. Whoever planned this, was as good as dead. Miroku went and sat next to Sango, so they were all alone on one end. Kagome started shivering and chattering her teeth together. Inuyasha got annoyed, and gave her his jacket.


She looked up to him suspiciously, and took the jacket. She whispered a quiet, "Thanks." And she smiled. Inuyasha just smirked, and watched the rest of the movie. At the ending, Kagome got up, but slipped. Inuyasha caught her, their faces inches apart, when Inuyasha himself ruined it. "You are a klutz."


"Well, thank you." Kagome said, standing up on her own two feet. She brushed any dirt off of her, and Miroku and Sango followed them. They all got to their cars, when Sango suddenly jumped in with Miroku in his car and drove off. Kagome and Inuyasha looked slowly at each other.


"Okay, this is getting REALLY annoying." Inuyasha said, plainly mad.


"Tell me about it." Kagome scowled. "Well, I was planning to go back to the hotel to go into the indoor pool.. would you mind?" She said, not really caring.


"No, lets go. You drive, your car." He said, jumping in her car with her.


She started up the car, and they headed back to the hotel.


***


Kagome sat in the warm jacuzzi, letting herself relax to the fullest. She closed her eye's, in total peace. But that was interrupted when Inuyasha came over and sat across from her. "Can't you ever leave me alone?" She complained.


"No." Inuyasha said, relaxing as well.


"Fine, whatever floats your boat.." Her body began to slip slowly further down, the bubbles making it unable to see under you. She yawned, as did Inuyasha. Kagome said, "Well, I'm going to get some ice-cream out in the stores that are around here.. I'll be back later.."


"Okay, I'm coming."


"Who invited you?"


"Me, myself, and I."


"Ugh, fine. But, then again, I think I'll stay here for about another half an hour, then we'll leave.." She said, making up her mind.


"Fine with me.." Inuyasha fell asleep right there in the jacuzzi.


Kagome got out, and jumped into the normal pool, letting the water engulf her body. She rose up out of the water like a mermaid, and did a couple flips underwater. She could taste the chorine, and hated it. She still swam though. She got out of the water, when she saw a poster by the pool.


Carnival, June 28th, 2004 On Board Walk


She grinned. No more ice-cream! She ran over to Inuyasha, deciding it would be only fair to tell him, "Inuyasha, there is a carnival today on the board-walk, I'm going, wanna' come?" She said, pointing to the poster.


"Um.. maybe I'll catch up with you later, I have stuff to do.." He said, getting up and heading back to the hotel room.


"Alright, bye!" Kagome ran out, to the board walk.


***


Inuyasha went into the hotel room, and finally got some privacy to himself. He looked at his cell phone, and saw he missed a call. It was Kikyou. He called her back, out of kindness.


"Hey Kikyou."


"Hey Inuyasha, I just called earlier to see how your doing.. met anyone new lately?" Kikyou asked.


"A girl named Kagome, and a girl named Sango. Their both really nice.." Inuyasha said, trying to be polite. He for some reason didn't get that warm feeling he got anymore when he talked to Kikyou. He was really starting to re-think this whole thing.


"Oh, that's nice. Maybe I can meet them one day." She said, not showing any emotion in her voice for that statement.


"Maybe.." Inuyasha said, then he looked at his watch. "Gotta' run, talk to you later."


"Bye honey!"


He hung up without saying anything loving to her. He sighed and sat down. This was really getting to him, he really didn't love her anymore. But why was that? Had someone already gone and replaced her? He couldn't think of anyone. He just closed his eyes, and then got up. He got his key, and everything he needed. He went out, and headed for the board walk to see Kagome.


Wait, did he want to see Kagome?


Yes.


***


AN: Aww.. he wants to see Kagome! And is he getting over Kikyou? Maybe.. but maybe I'll just have something happen where he likes her more! Well, not really. See the carnival next chapter!
