Chapter 8: To the resort beach
"Students, I hope you're all prepared. I am aware that this trip is on such short notice," Ms. Yamamoto said. "But I'll explain this. Today we are going to a resort beach and staying at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo hotel. We will be residing there for 1 night. NO boys are allowed to be in a female's room on ANY occasion. We will also be having dinner at Red Lobster at 7:00 pm. Right now, we're gong to the hotel to check in, we'll be leaving for the beach at 1 and then dinner. Everyone is to be prompt because the Greyhound bus will leave you."
"This is going to be fun," Sango whispered to Kagome. She nodded.
"No women." Miroku said. "I don't know about that. Don't worry, Sango, I'll see you tonight."
"Yea, right."
"I still don't get why we're leaving so early," Inuyasha said.
"You wouldn't," Kagome said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked raising an eyebrow. But Kagome just ignored him.
"All right, let's head to the buses. Two to a seat," Ms. Yamamoto told them.
"Hey, Kagome," Houjo greeted. "So who are you sitting with on the bus?"
Inuyasha flashed a look. "We're sitting together." He wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulder.
"Sorry," Houjo said backing up.
"Then I guess that leaves me and you, Sango." Miroku wrapped his arm around her waist.
"First get your hand off me, and second could you please get our luggage?" She pointed to five suitcases.
"That's a lot of crap. What do you got in there?" Inuyasha asked.
"Clothes, of course."
"We're only staying one night. Got dammit."
"You forget that your stuff is in there too. It's not nearly that much stuff," Kagome pointed out.
"The bus can carry all that?"
"Of course."
"We have no choice but to take it. I'll take two bags and Inuyasha, you take three."
"Hold on, monk! Why do you take only two?"
"Come on, Inuyasha, we all know you're stronger than me so…"
"Yea, yea."
Everyone's luggage managed to fit (including the other students) on four buses.
Inuyasha and Kagome sat together; Miroku and Sango sat across from them. Both of the boys on the outside.
"This is going to be fun, and don't forget Inuyasha, Miroku," Kagome said, "on the way back me and Sango sit together."
"Whatever."
Inuyasha decided to go to sleep while Kagome stared out the window. Sango was looking out the window too, Miroku watching over her shoulder.
At around 8am, interrupting his great dream of finally becoming a demon with the Shikon no Tama, Kagome was shaking him and telling him to wake up. Talking about how they'd arrived at the Grand Hyatt hotel. He just wanted to know what a hotel was.
"Listen, students, when we've checked you may get into groups of four when lodging. Remember we go the beach at one," Mrs. Yamamoto spoke.
"Yes."
Everyone stampeded out of the bus and onto the beautiful red carpet of the Grand Hyatt. It was a tall building with tons of windows and it looked expensive. Actually, it was…$370 per room, and that's the cheapest room.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"Interrupted my sleep for this," he mumbled, still asleep.
"Wow!" a little voice said peering out of a suitcase and a little squeak came afterwards. Shippo and Kirara had stowed away inside of the suitcases explaining how they got the bright idea to hide in there. Kagome decided that they could stay if they would pretend to be plushies. Who knew how people would react to seeing them.
"Awe," a swarm of girls surrounded Kagome and Sango talking about how cute their "toys" were.
"Where'd you buy them?"
"We bought them a long time ago," Kagome told them.
"I swear it blinked."
Kagome giggled nervously.
"Is he a doll too?" A girl pointed to Inuyasha. "Cute ears."
"No, that's Kagome's boyfriend," Ai said.
Mrs. Yamamoto had started to pair them up herself until Megumi started begging that they were old enough to choose for themselves.
Sango looked over at Kagome and Miroku stared at Sango. "Our group," Miroku said, "Sango, Inuyasha, Kagome, and myself."
"Miroku, what part of NO boys didn't you understand?" Sango asked.
"The NO part."
"Well, Kagome," Megumi walked over. "It can be me, you, Sango, and Ai."
"What about Hikaru?" It turned out that Hikaru was sick and couldn't make it. As Ai left to go get the key, Sango looked over at Kagome. "This is going to be fun," Sango said. "Can't wait to go to the beach."
"Uh-oh! Speaking of the beach, we'll need swimsuits."
"Swimsuits?" Sango asked.
"That's correct," Miroku was saying to Inuyasha. "Now our hotel room is right next to the girls."
"So you traded with some other girls?" asked Inuyasha.
"Right. Perfect, isn't it?"
"Sure, if you're a pervert like you."
Miroku grinned, and then took a look at the hotel.
The walls were painted a tan type of color and the beds were canopy and had velvet colored comforters and a gold trim. There was a grand window with expensive looking curtains. There was even a mini-kitchen. The television set was a 30 inch complete with HBO, and Showtime channels. Their room was very expensive.
"This is very nice. This sleek material." Miroku moved his hands along the comforters. "Sango and I are going to have a good time on this."
The boys made their way over next door since Miroku had insisted that they go greet the girls, but they were disappointed to find out that Megumi was the only one there. She'd told them that they'd went to go buy bathing suits with Ai. But not to worry because they'd be back shortly. Inuyasha knew she was lying though, girls took forever when they went shopping. He knew.
"Want me to leave a message?" Megumi asked.
Inuyasha started to tell her 'no' but Miroku butted in. "Tell them their men came by."
"Sure." She closed the door.
"Their men? I'm not Kagome's man," Inuyasha mumbled as they came back to their hotel room.
"That's the rumor going around."
"H-how?"
"You two have been pretty close."
"Feh! We argue all the time!"
"You know, they say that's a sign of affection."
"Who's they?"
"Thank you for shopping."
The three girls walked out of the store holding bags in their hands.
"Whoa! This beach thing is too much for me to grasp," Sango said. "You mean to tell me that people actually go to hot springs with these on?" She pointed to the bag. "And in front of boys too?"
"I told you, Sango, it's a beach. It's just sand and the ocean."
"Great and in front of Miroku too."
"Yea, he's got such wandering hands."
"So, you think your boyfriends are gonna like the swimsuits we picked for them?" Ai asked.
"They're not our boyfriends… just friends okay?" Sango said.
"Sure…" she said, unconvinced.
Kagome could see it now. "What the hell is that?" laughs. "What type of idiot walks out in this?" Well, he'd just have to deal with it…
"I wonder when they're getting back," Miroku said.
"I don't know, but I'm tired of walking around this hall. It's getting ridiculous." And he was right; they'd been walking for a while. Miroku insisted they do it just in case the girls came around.
"If you're ready to give up…"
"Damn right I am."
The girls got to the hotel at 10:00 a.m. carrying shopping bags and laughing. "Did you see the way that boy was staring at you, Kagome?" Ai asked.
"Yea, that was creepy."
"At least he offered to pay," Sango said.
Ai pulled out the hotel key. "Wait till we tell Megumi and your boyfriend, Kagome."
"For the fiftieth time, Inuyasha--."
She was interrupted by Megumi who had been evidently waiting for them at the door. "Hi, did you bring back food? Oh and your boyfriends stopped by."
"You don't mean…" Sango said.
"The cute boy with the black hair, little ponytail, and earrings and Inuyasha."
"What did they want?" Kagome asked.
Megumi shrugged.
"Hello, Sango," a familiar voice said.
She turned around to see Miroku. "Where did you come from?"
"Next door."
"But all the boys are supposed to be downstairs…"
"Nothing could hold me back from you."
"Great," she said unenthusiastically.
Kagome smiled. "We got something for you."
"You do?"
She nodded and rustled through a bag and pulled out a pair of black swimming trunks. "Um… What is that?"
"You swim in them."
"What a nice gift…"
"Well, everybody else is wearing them. And can you give this red one to Inuyasha?"
"Sure." He walked out and looked at Sango. "I'll be back, darling."
"Don't call me that," she said closing the door in his face.
"They sure don't act like a couple," Megumi whispered to Ai who just shrugged.
Inuyasha wasn't too keen on the swimwear and did exactly as Kagome thought he would. Complaining the whole time and insisting on how stupid he looked. How he wasn't going to wear them in public.
"It's not dumb, everyone else is wearing them," Kagome told him.
They were at the beach. The sun was shining and the water was sparkling. Miroku looking fine and Inuyasha even sexier.
"I must say, I like these swimsuits," Miroku said eyeing Kagome.
She had on a purple one piece bathing suit and her hair was pulled into a ponytail.
"Sango, your suit?" Sango had a towel wrapped around her, covering her suit.
"No way, I take this towel off for no one." She turned to Kagome. "This is way too embarrassing. How can you do it?"
"I kind of don't feel safe with Miroku around, but you know."
"Whee! Kagome, I want to swim," Shippo said in his trunks. His bushy tail sticking out and inner tube around his waist.
"Shippo, you're supposed to be a plushie!" Kagome chased after Shippo, who was already running out to the water. "And you could drown!"
"What if he drowned?" Inuyasha said laughing.
"You're a cruel man, Inuyasha," Miroku said.
"I'm a demon, okay?" he corrected.
Miroku took that time to sneak behind Sango and whip off her towel. She had on a two-piece swimsuit that was black with one pink stripe going down the side. "I think I like these swimsuit things. And what a beautiful body you have Sango, I could imagine myself--"
"Shut up!" She snatched the towel back and wrapped it around her waist.
Kagome walked back over carrying a wet Shippo. "Awe, c'mon, Kagome, I've never seen water so big," he whined.
"We'll get in the water later, I promised. Want to do something more fun?"
"Like what?"
"Bury Inuyasha."
"What the hell did you say?" Inuyasha asked.
"KAGOME!!"
"Don't get up, Inuyasha," Kagome told the now covered in sand half-demon.
"Kagome!"
"I'll be back. I'm going to go buy Shippo some ice cream."
"Yea," Shippo cried hopping up and down. "Kagome says it's real good."
"Want one too, Inuyasha?"
"No, I want you to release me from this sand hellhole."
"Maybe we should leave him."
"Not a bad idea, Shippo."
They walked off to the ice cream vendor.
"Dammit!! Shippo, just wait till I'm out!"
Somewhere not too far from Inuyasha was Sango and Miroku. She was sitting on a beach towel.
"So, Sango, want me to rub some of this stuff on you?" Miroku held up a bottle of suntan lotion.
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"What is that stuff?"
"Suntan lotion? What does it do?"
"Let me smooth it on your body and we'll find out." He squirted some of it on his hand and came close to her.
"Why don't we try it on you instead?"
"Ah, Sango, I knew you wanted to touch me."
"Not on your life."
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"Hey! Miroku, Sango!" Kagome called.
"Yes?" Sango turned to see Kagome coming over with colored things in her hand.
"We got you two some ice cream."
"Ice cream?" Miroku asked puzzled.
Shippo nodded. "It's really yummy! But I ate it too fast and my head felt strange." He continued.
"Sounds dangerous," Miroku said.
"But it's very good. Try it."
"Thank you."
"So, mister, whatcha doing?" a little girl stood over Inuyasha.
"Look, little girl, do me a favor and shut up! And call that bitch over there! The one with the black hair in a ponytail."
The girl looked over at Kagome. "Her?"
"Yea."
"Bitch! Bitch! He wants you!"
Kagome didn't know why she turned around; it's just one of those nosy type things.
"Tell her to get her ass over here!" Inuyasha commanded the little girl.
"He says to get your ass over here!"
Kagome stomped over and slapped her ice cream straight in Inuyasha's face. "Quit corrupting young children's minds with curse words!"
Shippo burst out laughing.
"Damn, this shit is cold!" he yelled.
