The hot June sun shone on them, as they walked down the boardwalk. After the group spilt into groups of two agreeing to meet in 30 minutes at 'Sunny Café', Inuyasha and Kagome decided to look for an ice cream vendor. Inuyasha decided to start a conversation. "So, Kagome, you study at NYU?" he asked, and she nodded. "I got into NYU through a music tuition." she replied, and then clapped her hands together. "Ice cream!" she exclaimed, and Inuyasha laughed as Kagome's glassy blue eyes lit up. "Let's go, then, my treat." Inuyasha offered, and Kagome agreed.
Meanwhile, Miroku and Sango were window shopping. They decided, or rather Sango decided, to stop at a small shop with hand-made jewelry. Sango browsed for shell necklaces and maybe a woven bracelet for her younger brother, Kohaku. She shyly looked at Miroku out of the corner of her eye, and blushed. 'Get a hold of yourself, Sango!' she thought mentally, as she chose a bracelet for Kohaku and a shell necklace for herself.
She walked to the cash register and was about to look for her wallet, when she felt a hand stopping her. She looked up and saw Miroku smile at her and pay for her things. She blushed again, as they walked into the street. "You didn't have to do that, Miroku." She mumbled, and he grinned. "I'd do anything for you, my lovely Sango." She blushed again, and then almost growled in irritation. "Miroku?" she asked in her sweetest, syrupy voice. "Could you . . . GET YOUR DAMN HAND OF MY BUTT?!" she stomped over to 'Sunny Café', leaving Miroku kissing the pavement.
After paying for their cones, Inuyasha and Kagome sat at a bench, licking their already melted ice cream cones. After finishing hers in a quick bite, she gave a sigh of satisfaction and surprisingly gave a quick peck on Inuyasha's cheek. "What was that for?" he mumbled, trying to hide the fact that he was blushing scarlet. "For being so nice to me, Inuyasha!" she responded, and then stood up with a jump. "Common, it's already late to meet the guys." she told him, and they both walked down the boardwalk.
"So, guys . . ." an eager Sesshoumaru started. "Want to go to the beach now?" Kagura seemed ecstatic. "Finally, I'll get around working on my tan." she exclaimed, and kissed Sesshoumaru on the lips. 'That's right!' Kagome thought, as the watched the couple, 'Sesshoumaru proposed to Kagura a few months ago. I think he's 23 now, but I'm not sure.' She smiled at the sight of them and wished she'd find such a perfect love. "Get a room, Sesshoumaru." Inuyasha joked, and everyone laughed it off.
"Ok guys, let's get into the water!" Sango shouted, and Kagome laughed. "Not yet, Sango. Rather work on my tan, you know." She winked and Sango laughed too. "Whatever you say, Kags." she said, and jumped into the warm water. Kagome took out one of the towels she brought and laid it on the sand. She took out the sun block and put some on, then took of her shirt and shorts. She adjusted her pontail, and took out her sun glasses then laid facing the sun and took a short nap.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Miroku had decided to start a volleyball game in which the two friends both played perfectly. Sesshoumaru joined his half brother a few moments later, when Miroku had an advantage of 3 points. The two brothers won and Miroku told Inuyasha that "Sesshoumaru saved your sorry ass". Kagura, Kagome, and Sango were tanning and the men got an idea. They filled plastic cups with the cool beach water and dumped the contents on the ladies. They spent the rest of their afternoon in a ferocious water fight. They were out until the sun hid behind the horizon. The band sat under the palm trees and saw the orange sky, pink rays and a whirlwind of purple clouds. Kagome rapidly looked through her backpack and found a disposable camera. "Hey guys, let me take a photo!"
"Aw, Kagome!" Sango said. "You won't be in it!" So, they found a local that took their picture: Sesshoumaru's arm around Kagura petite waist, Miroku's arm around Sango's arm, and at the last moment Kagome gave Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek, the photo capturing Inuyasha's shocked face.
------------------------
It was 4 A.M. when Kagome's phone rang. Kagome picked it, and before she could say hello she heard Sango's distressed voice. "Kagome, its Sango!" she said between sobs. "Sesshoumaru and Kagura were on Sesshoumaru's motorbike and a truck hit them . . . They're dead!" Kagome's phone hit the floor with a 'thud'.
