***Disclaimer***: I do not own InuYasha
A summer to remember
Chapter 21: Say it ain't so!
The four entered the house and set aside their water soaked umbrellas and shoes. The huge hanging chandelier and different vases and statues stunned Kagome and Sango. Kagome noticed a maid quickly walk from one room to another.
'Wow, InuYasha sure has it all'. Kagome thought to herself. "So, what are we gonna do now?" She asked aloud.
"I dunno Kag, but this place is huge so there has to be endless possibilities!" Sango gasped.
"You're in luck m'lady." Miroku said acting chivalrous and pulling Sango close to him.
Kagome and Sango raised an eyebrow at Miroku's comment. InuYasha stood next to Kagome still annoyed. Kagome looked at InuYasha and hugged his arm. His emotions melted away and began to have feelings for Kagome.
"So now what?" Kagome asked again.
InuYasha gave a weak smile. "Follow me."
Sango and Kagome shrugged their shoulders and followed the guys up the flight of stairs. Sango quickly grew tired and had Miroku give her a piggyback ride. Kagome was still amazed at all the decorative paintings and small statues. After ten minutes of walking through long hallways and opening doors the four teens finally made it to InuYasha's own personal game room lounge. InuYasha pushed open the oak double doors to a place that the girls would only see in magazines and TV. Sango spotted the huge overstuffed lounge chair and ran over to it to sit. Kagome saw the GameCube and went to look over at the stock of games InuYasha had. InuYasha and Miroku both looked at each other and shrugged.
Sango sunk in the plush, velvety armchair and sighed out of relief. "Man, this chair is SO comfortable. I could live here forever!"
"Oh no you don't!" InuYasha barked throwing Sango out of the chair.
Kagome hit InuYasha in the back of the head. "How rude! Let Sango sit there! Not like you're gonna sit there anyhow!"
After what Kagome said, InuYasha fell face first hard into the wood floor.
"What's with you and this falling?" Sango asked reseating herself in the chair.
Kagome rolled her eyes. "So now that we're here, now what?"
Miroku walked up to everyone else with a huge smile. "How about a nice rousing game of Egyptian rat screw?" (AN: Egyptian Rat Screw for all of you who don't know is a card game....my friends and I always play it.....it's really fun!)
Sango went to bop Miroku in the head. "Pervert!"
InuYasha grabbed her arm. "Hold it right there! Egyptian Rat Screw is a card game!"
Sango and Kagome mouthed an 'O'. "So how do you play Miroku?" Sango asked nervously.
"OK.....You deal out the cards to everyone and you're not allowed to look at them. The person to the right of the dealer flips over a card and then the next person goes and so forth. If a person puts down a Jack or higher, the next person has to place 1 card for a jack, 2 for queen, 3 for King, and 4 for Ace. If the person that's putting down the cards doesn't put down a face card.....the person before them who put down the face card gets the pile. If the person DOES put down a face card it goes to the next person and so on. If there's a double of any card you want to slap down as fast as you can. If you slap first you get the pile. The object is to get all of the cards. And if you get out you can slap back in on a double. Sound easy enough?" Miroku explained.
The girls nodded their head. InuYasha was sitting on the floor quickly and impressively shuffling the cards. Kagome and Sango stared in amazement.
"What?" InuYasha said getting annoyed.
Once the cards were dealt everyone started playing. There was a lot of screaming from doubles and moaning from loosing all their cards. Kagome didn't seem to have beginners luck; she was the first one to get out. She didn't feel like playing anymore so she got up and went to the balcony in InuYasha's game room. Looking at InuYasha's backyard patio and very elaborate swimming pool, Kagome leaned on the railing and tried to relax herself. The rain finally stopped and the sun was fully out.
Not long after Kagome got out InuYasha lost all his cards. He grumbled a bit but Sango put him in order. InuYasha wondered where Kagome was and saw her on the balcony. He got up and approached her.
"Fun game, huh?" InuYasha asked lamely trying to start a conversation.
"Yeah, really different." Kagome responded completely bored. She looked down and saw a thin, shapely woman with long black hair in a multicolored string bikini walking around the pool and then sitting on a beach chair. "Who's that?"
"That's my mother."
"Your mom! Wow......My mom would never be caught dead wearing something like that."
"Feh."
Kagome rolled her eyes and looked away from InuYasha. 'Jeeze, this guy is way emotional. One minute he's nice and sweet then the next he's pissed off. Isn't there a 'normal' moment for him?' Kagome asked herself.
InuYasha hung his head low. "Uh....Kagome....." He started to say slowly.
Kagome turned around. "What?"
"When that guy Kouga grabbed you and took you away from me I felt like a part of me was ripped out. But then when I saw you seemingly very happy with him at the restaurant, it hurt me; a lot. I guess you could say that I like you........a lot."
'Like I said about the emotional thing.' "You really like me? The whole time I was with him I couldn't stop thinking about you. I just want-"
"WHOOOOO HOOOO!" Sango screamed running out onto the balcony interrupting Kagome.
Kagome and InuYasha quickly turned around to see Sango jumping up and down. Right behind her was a forlorn looking Miroku. "What happened?" Kagome asked with her cheeks blushing bright red.
"I WON! I beat Miroku!" Sango cheered.
"But....but how?? NO ONE beats me! I don't understand that." Miroku mindlessly said.
"I guess that means you met your match." InuYasha laughed.
"Huh? But no one's better than me!"
"I mean your SOUL MATE diphead!"
Miroku blushed and so did Sango. Kagome let out a huge smile.
"I know what we can do to relieve your loosing blues." InuYasha added.
Everyone looked up at him in wonder.
"We can get to that lighthouse on the other side of the rocky pier. The girls will love the view at the top."
'Wow since when did InuYasha get so romantic?' Kagome thought again.
"Sounds wonderful!" Sango squealed holding Miroku.
"I agree, but we need to change our clothes." Kagome insisted.
InuYasha called his chauffer on the intercom and the four were gone in no time.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Sango and Kagome went into their condo, leaving the boys outside, and changed their clothes. Sango changed into her all black shorts and pink flowered tube top. Kagome put on a pair of regular blue jean shorts and a one shouldered green and white top. They brushed up on their make-up and combed their hair.
"This is gonna be so romantic Kag!" Sango giggled while putting on her pink eye shadow.
"Yeah! I never thought this was gonna happen to us on this vacation." Kagome said.
The girls laughed and put on their sandals. The opened the door to find a bored InuYasha and a pacing Miroku. The couples paired up and began to walk towards the lighthouse.
"OH! I forgot my sunglasses! Just hold on one second." Kagome said running back into the condo.
*** *** ***
Miroku looked at his watch and Sango sighed. "Where is she Sango baby? She's your best friend." Miroku asked.
"I know, but she said she WAS gonna get her sunglasses." Sango said getting more worried by the second.
"I don't care what you guys say, I'm gonna see where the hell she is!" InuYasha barked stomping towards the house.
"NO! STOP!" Sango grabbed InuYasha's arm. "I think *I * should go in."
Sango entered the house and heard and saw nothing of Kagome. She walked into the bedroom to find a note on it. "GUYS!!! COME HERE!"
Like lightning, InuYasha and Miroku ran into the girl's bedroom to find a hysterical Sango. "What is it sweetie?" Miroku asked stroking her hair.
"It's.....it's...." Sango tried to say.
"IT'S WHAT?! Just say it woman!" InuYasha demanded.
Miroku hit him on the arm. "Hey man! Obviously something happened and so what happened dear?"
Sango couldn't speak so she just handed the note to Miroku for him and InuYasha to read. Miroku read it out loud.
"WE HAVE HER! IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE HER FACE AGAIN COME DOWN TO EAGLE'S POINT BY 5:00 PM OR ELSE *SHE * GETS IT! AND YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."
