A summer to remember

Chapter 11: Mr. Mysterious

Kagome rolled her eyes and once again took off her sunglasses. "What now San?"

Sango said nothing and just eagerly pointed her arm in the direction of the guy. Kagome's jaw dropped as she stared at the surfing hunk.

He did a few impressive moves in the waves and then slowed down to stop. The guy surfed closer and landed on the sandy beach a ways away from the girls. He had very long glossy silver hair and very defined facial features; harvest gold eyes, slim nose, small slender lips, and two purple claw mark tattoos on each side of his face. His muscles glowed in the bright sunlight from the water dripping off. The white and red swim trunks clung to his bulging thighs as he walked to his things. You could see his arm muscles and purple tattoos that were also on his right arm while he was carrying his flowery surfboard.

Kagome was still staring at the 'angel from above', but Sango was thinking something different. "Now that I see him, he's to much of a pretty boy for me." Sango pointed out.

"HELL NO! He's so wicked hott!" Kagome threw her hands together and swooned.

"Whatever, Kag."

Kagome hit Sango in the arm. "Come on! You were the first one to see him and you were so excited about it too!"

Sango felt embarrassed and lowered her head. She didn't want to tell Kagome that she wanted this mysterious being for herself. "I know, but a girl can change her mind!"

"Oh how lame is that! You know I'm right, you DO like him."

Sango growled under her breath. "Yeah yeah, ok ok, I like him."

"There we go! Now lets go meet this guy!" Kagome jumped up and began to stroll his way. Sango tried to catch Kagome, but she was too quick.

Miroku sulked on a bench on the boardwalk and gave a huge sigh. InuYasha was pacing back and forth between the trashcan and the potted flowers on the other side of the bench. InuYasha looked at the clear blue sky and began to think. 'It's no use.' InuYasha sulked and hung his head down. "Come on man....its not that bad." Miroku said with his arms folded and eyes closed.

'I wish I could show my likeness to Kagome better. I feel bad for being this way.' InuYasha sulked in his mind. "Yes it is! Can't you see it? You know me better than anybody else; this is why I can't get any girls because I can't communicate my feelings right!" InuYasha slammed his fist down on a large rock and broke it in half. InuYasha lifted up his hand to slam it down.

Miroku jumped up and grabbed InuYasha's arm in mid swing. "Good grief man! Are you that pissed at yourself?"

InuYasha ripped his arm out of Miroku's grip and looked down and closed his eyes. "Yeah." InuYasha said softly.

Miroku went over to InuYasha and put his arm around him. "I've been noticing Kagome's emotional tendencies and she doesn't seem like the type of girl to get up and leave. She'll stick it out."

"Are you for real and not lying?" InuYasha thought hopefully to himself. 'I hope Miroku is right. If he's lying, he's dead; whether he's my best friend or not.'

"Hell yeah! We're best buds! Why wouldn't you trust me? HEY! You know what you need?"

"What?"

"A pickle!"

InuYasha cracked a smile and pushed Miroku to the side. He began to run towards the café and Miroku quickly tried to catch up.

Sango slowed down to a walk when she couldn't catch Kagome. "Kagome!! WILL YOU STOP!" Sango screamed trying to get Kagome's attention.

Kagome stopped and turned around to face Sango. She folded her arms and tapped her foot in the sand. "Come on you slow poke!" Kagome yelled out.

"I swear you're gonna kill me one of these days with your ridiculous shenanigans!" Sango stated finally making it to Kagome.

"Heh." Kagome giggled and shoved Sango lightly in the arm.

The girls began to mock fight, almost forgetting about the surfer dude. Kagome went to sock another one to Sango when she felt a tapping on her shoulder. She grew excited hoping that it was the guy. Kagome turned around to see who it was and noticed that it was just a bird pecking at her for no reason. Kagome fell to the ground and Sango began to laugh.

"HAHA! And you thought it was that guy!" Sango couldn't control her laughing.

Kagome glared at Sango. "Whatever," Kagome looked over to that guy and saw that he was getting a little annoyed, "You better stop your cackling, your HOTTIE is getting pissed."

Sango also gave Kagome an evil look. "I guess we're both even."

Kagome laughed and grasped Sango's arm. "Lets go catch a big one!"

The girls giggled as they walked serenely towards him. The guy was sitting on the sand waxing the bottom of his surfboard. Kagome got the bright idea to pretend to drop her sunglasses and start up a conversation that way. Sango stood about five feet away while Kagome walked on by the guy. She dropped her glasses as planned and went to pick them up. Kagome went to pick them up when he handed them back to her.

"Here you go." The guy said almost like it was rehearsed.

"Uh....thank you." Kagome slowly said, choking up. Kagome was still kneeling next to him not realizing that she had to move. She was too nervous to think straight.

'I better make some convo or else this girl will never leave.' The guy thought to himself.

"So...what's your name?" he asked politely.

"Kagome, and yours?"

"I am Sesshomaru. So what brings you here on such a nice day?"

Kagome was astounded by how sophisticated he sounded for being a surfer.

Kagome became dumbfounded for a moment and then regained her memory. "My friend, Sango, and I are here for the week on vacation. What about you?"

"I live here. I mean, I live a few streets away."

"That's cool. I wish I could live near a beach."

"It's ok, I guess."

"Sango and I are going to meet a couple of our friends we met at the café, you wanna come with us?" Kagome asked anxiously.
