"No offense to you. But once I win this race tomorrow we can still hang out, 'kay?" Kanna nodded.


Inuyasha then went over to Kagome, angry. "You win? Feh! You'd need a miracle for that." He sneered then went off to his bike. "Lets play, little Kagome." She glared and yelled, "Fine!"


Her words echoed in mind though. Is that what she really thought of him? 'I can't believe I kissed her!' Was his next thought. He looked over at Kagome and sighed. It wouldn't ever work out between them anyway..


"Today we'll be going down to the lake, only about twenty minutes away." Ayame spoke. Everyone was silent and drove off to the place Ayame specified.

Hell's Angel

Take Fourteen

Here Without You


A hundred days have made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face.
A thousand lies have made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same.
All the miles that separate disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face.
I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind.

I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby, but you're still with me in my dreams.
And tonight, there's only you and me.
The miles just keep rollin' as the people leave their way to say hello.
I've heard this life is overrated, but I hope that it gets better as we go.

-Here Without You
Three Doors Down

They were now on the land beside the lake. Kagura conveniently set up a ramp made out of tree trunks, branches, and random stones. "Now then, who's first?" The whole gang but Inuyasha and Kagome sat over on the side. Miroku also lent Kagome his bike again.


"I am." Inuyasha said. "Kagome went first last time. Now its my go." He glared over at her and readied himself on his motorcycle. He sped down to the ramp and flew up into the air. He let go of the handlebars and put his legs on top of the them. Then he placed his hands behind him and stayed like that until he was about to land. He then put his hands back in place, landed on the back wheel, and stopped. He balanced on the back of the wheel and twisted around a bit, went down to two wheels, and looked over at Sango. "Three points."


Kagome was up next. She sped off to the ramp, got in the air, then did a front flip with the bike in mid-air. She held onto the handle bars and lifted herself up so she was "standing" on her hands and her feet were pointing the sky. She was then about to land, so she sat back down on the seat firmly and landed in front of the gang. "Three points." Miroku spoke.


Inuyasha spit on the ground and got back on the bike, flying up into the air once again. He started spinning his bike clockwise, not applying so much pressure to the spin as he could have. If he put too much or too little spin onto it he would have fallen off when you landed. He then started going counter-clockwise instead, and stopped the spinning just before he landed. Otherwise he would have been kicked off the bike. "Skill." Sango spoke, "Five points."


Kagome growled. She was going to even out the score then go all out with flying colors on the next one. She flipped off the ramp going almost as high as she could and started leaning the bike onto the side. While it was leaning over she stood up on the side of it and balanced the bike in the air like a surf-board on water. Then she was about to hit ground when she leaned the bike back up before she landed, in risk of crashing the bike. "Creativity. Five points." Miroku said. She gave a sadistic smirk over to Inuyasha.


He growled and went onto his next stunt. A normal easy one this time. He got up in the air as always and he raised the front end of the bike up. He then held onto the handle bars really hard so he didn't fall off. He did a little jump in the air before going back to normal position when he landed. "Three points." Sango said. Inuyasha breathed heavily and rested while Kagome was up doing her next stunt.


She was going to kick his ass with her next stunt. She said, "Watch this, buddy boy." She once again flipped off the ramp and when she got in the air, she jumped up onto the seat of the bike She then moved her feet into position to balance the bike. She slowly let go of the handle bars and raised up, riding the bike like a skateboard. She had to keep the bike at an angle for when she lands, and the bike can not lean at all or she would fall incredibly hard. This was a very dangerous stunt for her. Then when she landed, she gets the bike under control, gripped the handle bars, put her feet back on the pegs, and slowed to a stop.


Everyone who was watching was in awe. Miroku stuttered. "S-six points."


"WHAT?! SIX?!" Inuyasha stood up. "No way! That wasn't in the rules!" Sango had to side with Miroku, "Sorry Inuyasha.. but that was just outstanding."


He growled, "I'll show you outstanding!" Inuyasha went up in the air on the ramp, except into the direction of the forest area. He was launched into the air right beside a tree branch, and jumped the bike. When he reached the branch he grabbed onto it, letting the bike go, and he flipped around onto the branch. Then he let go and landed on the bike right as it touched the ground. And just for good measure he stopped by quickly applying the front brake, making the bike go upright. Then just as quickly he let go of the break just a little so he didn't flip the bike over. Then as he slowed down, he let go more of the break until both wheels were touching the ground, stopping completely. Once again, known as the 12 o'clock stoppie.


"S-seven points.." Sango muttered out. Now it was Kagome's turn to get pissed off.


They were once again doing tricks all day and at the end of the day they were tired out. Around 9:00ish. "...Twenty points!" Miroku yelled out. Kagome and Inuyasha couldn't do anymore, do they both decided to end it there. Kagome asked, "Who won today?"


Ayame held a pencil and pad, tallying up all the scores. She gulped and looked nervously at them, "Well.. um.. you guys.. you see.. um.." Kouga took the pad from her and said it for her. "Goddamnit, you two tied again!"


They both fell over. "After all this time of working.." Inuyasha began. "..all day long in the hot sun.." Kagome continued. "..we still tied." Inuyasha finished.


Everyone else was still wide awake though. "Hey, you guys.. what do ya' say we go.. um.." Miroku tried to think of a place that would wake Kagome up. He then got a devilish smirk on his face, "..clubbing?"


Yup, that did it. Kagome jumped up in glee and said, "Lets go!" She was so excited that while she was running over to hug Miroku for the idea, she fell over. She got up from the ground and noticed that there was a four-leafed-clover below her. She picked it up and smiled. "I have good luck!"


Inuyasha got up, put dirt in his hand, and dropped it down Kagome's shirt. "Good luck that, Ms. Poser." She turned around and growled at him. "I'm not a poser! I'm Kagome!"


Inuyasha started dancing around stupidly, mocking her. Sango got a kick out of it and said, "No, I'm Kagome!" Kagura jumped in, "I'm the real Kagome!" Ayame did it too just for fun, "Nuh-uh! I'm Kagome."


Kagome let out a fake cry. "I'm the real Kagome!" He looked over at Miroku, "Miroku, aren't I Kagome?"


Before Miroku could answer, Inuyasha said in a girl-ish voice, "ALL OF YOU ARE POSERS. I'm the real Kagome!" Kagome growled at him, "What the fuck Inuyasha?! That's my name!"


Miroku then said, "Yes Kagome, your the real Kagome.." Kouga jumped in, "I want the real Kagome!"


She just laughed at that. Then she noticed Inuyasha growling at Kouga. Kouga had already been scared by him earlier, and didn't want another fight, so he said, "But.. for the respect of Inuyasha..--" Miroku started yelling, "Sex, sex, sex!" Kouga went on, "..I will claim that, that was a joke."


This whole time Kanna had been snoozing, and was only half awake when she said, "Kagome who?"


Kagome said, "Me, of course." Inuyasha then said, "Your not Kagome!" She growled at him and went to Miroku's motorcycle. She showed him that she had painted on her name there awhile ago, testing out her new golden paint. "Ka-Go-Me." She said. Sango whispered over to Kagura, "I can't believe Kagome is going for this.."


Inuyasha then countered, "The real Kagome would never talk shit!" Kagome wasn't thinking when she said her next statement, "I ALWAYS TALK SHIT!"


"..w-wait!" She said, wanting to go back and correct herself. "DAMN STRAIGHT!" Inuyasha said rolling in laughter, as the rest of the gang was.


Kagome got embarrassed and said, "Forget that! Please forget that.." She couldn't help but let out a little laugh for her own stupidity. "I soooo lead you into that!" Inuyasha said, still laughing.


"I didn't even do that on purpose.." Kagome muttered. "..I feel like such a dumbass." Inuyasha then took the pen and pad from Ayame. He wrote in big letters, 'Dumbass' and licked the back. He stuck it to Kagome's forehead. "There ya' go, you shit talker you!" He smirked.


"Shut up!" She whined.


"Talkin' dat' shit fo' sho'!" Inuyasha mocked her. He flicked her forehead and said, "Alright, well, lets go clubbin' now. I had my fun." He smirked and got on his bike.


Kagome had one last thought, 'I guess I'll have to find out about that e-mail later.. hm..' She sighed. 'I wish he was here with me.. we would all have a blast..'
