Chapter three – Pairings, the airplane and we are there.
-----------------------------------------(The story)------------------------------------------
"Everyone that is going on the trip, will you please go to the cafeteria to get paired up? Thank you."
The group then made their way to the lunchroom.
When they came in they saw only six peoples there, but no teacher. (Must be running late. Shame. Just joking.) The peoples there were Koga, Naraku, Kagura, Yura, Hiten, Manten, Destiny and Shippo.
"Well, I guess the dog-eared-mutt came after all." Koga smirked.
Inu yasha clenched his fists. "Shut up wimpy wolf."
"What if I don't want to?"
About a meter away Kagome leaned toward Sango and asked, "Do they always fight like this?" Sango simply nodded and Kagome leaned back into her standing position.
Koga had now notice Kagome and immediately raced to her side like she was in danger. Inu yasha notice he was running towards something. "Hey, hey whoa!"
Koga suddenly grabbed Kagome's hands in his. "I'm so glad that your going Kagome. It wouldn't be the same without you."
She put on a nervous face. "Oh really." He nodded.
Inu yasha came in between the two and swatted Koga's hand away.
"I'm not done talking to you yet!" Miroku and Sango sighed.
"You can't tell me what to do!"
"Yes I can!"
The door suddenly opened, revealing Kikyo standing there. "Inu yashie!!" She said in a high voice. Everyone cringed.
"Uh...Kikyo. What are you doing here?" he asked
She began walking up to him. "Well it's kind of a last minute thing. I only found out yesterday that you were going so I had to make room." She smiled while he laughed nervously.
"Is that so...?"
"Yeah." She kept smiling but then frowned when she saw Kagome. "Is this the annoying, ugly, disrespectful and always ticks you off person?"
Kagome had a shocked impression on her face, then glared daggers into them both.
"Yeah."
The other peoples that were going on the trip as well were watching this, and did nothing.
Koga growled. "Don't insult Kagome like that! She's beautiful and smart and-"
The door slammed open once again, but this time revealing the teacher there, panting. "Sorry I'm late students, but I'm sorry to say that two of our students won't be joining us on our trip. It seems that they had to made room for someone."
Kikyo put on an innocent face while everyone stared at her. "What? My daddy is rich. He can do almost everything." She said, hoping everyone would stop staring.
But it didn't happening anytime soon. Everyone just kept staring.
She growled and turned towards the teacher. "Just pair us up please."
The teacher got startled and almost dropped the folder. He fixed his' glasses and cleared his throat.
"Ok now. I will tell you who your partner is and then I'll explain you some rules." He started. "Manten and Yura. Hiten and Kagura. Shippo and Destiny." 'Not much decent boys left.' Kagome thought. 'Not Miroku. Not Miroku.' Sango chanted in her head. 'Please let it be Sango. Please let it be Sango.' Miroku chanted.
"Sango and Miroku." The teacher continued. 'NO!!!!!!' Sango screamed in her head. 'Yes! Score!' Thought Miroku. 'Poor Sango' Kagome pitied. "Naraku and Kikyo. And last but not least Kagome and Inu yasha."
"What!" All three Inu yasha, Kagome and Kikyo said in unison.
Inu yasha pointed to Kagome. "I can't be with her!" While Kagome also pointed her finger to Inu yasha but said, "I can't be with him!"
"But I want to be with my Inu yashie!" Kikyo squealed.
"Stop calling me that!" Inu yasha yelled at her. Kikyo immediately shut up. "Okay" she said.
"I'm sorry but all is final." The teacher shrugged his shoulders. "There's nothing I can do to change it. You can always take back your 50 dollars and leave."
Then Koga stepped in. "What about me? Who is my partner."
"Koga. Hmmmm." He flipped through the files. "Well then, I guess you're on your own for this trip. You'll have a room by yourself."
"Wahoo!" Koga cheered himself while Inu yasha mumble something under his breath about stupid, lucky and wolf.
"This is so not fair." Kagome complained.
Inu yasha crossed his arms. "You better have some brains person cause I am not doing these on my own." He left out the part of having to get a C or else his father will start doing his magic and make his things disappear.
"I should be asking you if you have any brains at all Taiashi."
"This trip is going to be a living hell."
"Now, on with the rules. You must be in bed by 11:00 pm sharp. We will be checking in on you at 11:05, to see if you are sleeping. Only on Tuesdays that you could stay up as long as you want 'cause you have Wednesdays off. You must wake up at 9:00 every morning and come down stairs for breakfast. No fighting in the bedrooms or anywhere else. If you've been caught fighting or doing other bad stuff, we will take off some of your credits. If you wish to go shopping, go on weekends or Wednesdays. Any questions or comment?"
Shippo raised his hand. "Do we get to visit each other?"
The teacher nodded. "Yes. But if you do visit there is a time limit. It is two hours and a half."
"Is there a swimming pool at the hotel?" asked Miroku.
Every one knew he was thinking about something perverted, like seeing girls in bikinis or something like that.
He shook his head. "No, but there is a beach beside it. Is there anymore questions?"
Everyone shook his or her heads. "Good."
He started to hand out a little booklet. "It's kind of like a guide. It tells you when this assignment is going to be assigned and when were going to the museums, exploring and others. It's best if you don't lose them. They are quite helpful."
"Now, we still have 10 minutes till the bus gets here. Please have a set while I go get the assistor will be coming with us." Everyone dropped their bags and took a seat while the teacher walked out of the cafeteria.
Kagome sighed. She turned to Sango. "Why couldn't I be your partner? They could of just made it the same genders with the same genders. But noooooo they had to make it different genders." She said sarcastically.
Sango laughed. "Well. I guess we'll have to live with it. I mean, it is just three weeks and plus this is worth 50% of our social marks. I'm sure they have a good reason for these kinds of pairings." Kagome sighed again.
A couple of minutes later... the door opened, this time revealing Mrs. Kimono and Sesshomaru with their luggage. Inu yasha got startled and looked to see who it was.
'Oh. It's just Mrs. Kimono and Sesshomaru. Wait! Sesshomaru!?' Inu yasha thought.
"Oh my god!! It's Sesshomaru!! The oldest Taiashi heir!!" Yura screamed quietly to Kagura.
"I know! I know!" She took a big breath. "He is actually here. Oh my god. I hope he comes on the trip with us!!"
"Sesshomaru?!" Inu yasha shouted. "What are you doing here? You said you had some kind of flight to somewhere a week ago."
"I did say that, and it's true. I do have a flight, a flight to Florida."
"You're the assistor?" asked Sango.
"Why yes he is Sango. He was so nice and generous to offer his time with us so we must not disappoint him students. I expect you all to do your very best." Said Mrs. Kimono.
'This has got to be the worst trip ever.' Inu yasha thought.
"Well, the bus is waiting for us so lets get going!" Mrs. Kimono said cheerfully.
Everyone picked up their luggage and followed her outside.
On the way to the bus, all Kikyo did was pout, trying to look cute. ( Ugh. No offence.) The bus wasn't very big. They all put their luggage up front and they sat at the back.
Everyone was sitting with their partners and Mrs. Kimono and Sesshomaru sat together. They all had something to talk about, even Inu yasha and Kagome. Well...actually, kind of an argument. One would mention something and the other would say something negative about it.
Basically the trip to the airport was, loud.
- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -
When they entered, Mrs. Kimono left Sesshomaru with the student while she made sure that their flight was going to be okay.
Kagome and Sango found a bench and sat down.
"Hey Sango. How much money did you bring in total?" Kagome asked while swinging her feet back and forth.
Sango put her index finger on her chin. "Umm, I don't know. I think around three hundred."
"Wow. I guess your are really a shop-a-holic." Kagome laughed at what she said.
Sango laughed to. "I guess you can say that. I love shopping. I usually go with Inu yasha and Miroku but now I have you to shop with!" Kagome smiled.
Mrs. Kimono soon then came back. "We are right on time. If we came any later I think we would of missed the plane. Everyone stick with your partners and follow me."
Inu yasha and Kagome kept as far away from each other as possible. The seats were in pairs of two. The airplane was really clean and tidy that everything you look at, you can see your reflection. The seats were leather and comfortable. There were even little cup holders on the armrest. Above them was a little cabinet to put you're their luggage in.
For the first five minutes of the trip, everyone was getting use to the plane. (Well I mean they have to get use to It. They're going to be there for like a couple of hours)
Food was coming in 3 hours so everyone tried to find something to do.
In the first ten minutes Kagome was already bored. She had the window seat, and she loved the sight from when they were taking off and when they were in the sky. It made her feel like she was flying.
She looked to her right and saw Inu yasha listening to music. He had his eyes closed and was bobbing he head along with the rhythm. She decided to ask him if he knew how long the flight would take.
She poked his cheek lightly. He didn't open his eyes but asked. "What do you want?"
"Umm, do you know how long the flight is?" she asked quietly.
'I've got to be nice to this person and work hard, well at pretend, at least. If Sesshomaru sees me doing something bad, he might rats on me to dad.' Inu yasha thought.
"I think it's 6 to 10 hours." Kagome sighed. "What? Your little brain can't-"But then he remembered, 'must be nice, must be nice ' he chanted. (I don't really know how long it is from Japan to Florida. I'm just guessing.)
"Umm...here, we can listen to my Cd player. I have another set of earphones in my pocket." He said as he reached into his pocket to get them out.
Kagome raised a brow at his generosity. "When did you become so generous?"
"Never," he said so quickly that she could not hear right.
"What?"
He realized what he said and then tried to cover it up by saying, "I...uh...why don't we just listen to the music?"
Kagome just shrugged her shoulders. 'Maybe he's not so bad after all. Maybe I just got a first bad impression of him on the first day.' She thought and plastered a tiny delicate smile on her face.
'I wonder what she's smiling about.' He wondered. When he wasn't watching, Kagome slipped in a Cd of her own. Inu yasha snapped out of his thoughts when he hear a Thousand mile go on.
He didn't like these kinds of songs so he just spaced out with the earphones still in his ears. (I wonder how he puts the earphones on. Hmmm.)
After about ten minutes, Inu yasha felt something fall onto his shoulder. When he looked down, his face softened. He saw Kagome had fallen asleep. He could feel her soft breathing. He was going to wake her up but decide not to disturb her. He took the earphones Kagome was using and put them away. Putting his own Cd back into the Cd player.
- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -
"Sir. Sir" The attendance said. (I think that's what they call airplane maids or something. Eheheh. Sorry, I'm not really sure.)
Inu yasha had fallen asleep. He growled, "Go away. It's to early for school."
"Sir, I just want to know what you want to eat." He woke up and just mouthed a 'oh'.
He yawned. "Could please come back in five minutes?"
"Sure," she said and went to another pair.
Inu yasha gently shook Kagome. "Hey, person, wake up." Kagome used one hand to try and find her alarm clock but mistaken her purse for it and threw it at Inu yasha.
(She thinks she still in her room. -)
The purse hit Inu yasha, square in his face. (That means in hit dead center. : P) "Hey, what was that for!" He hissed and rubbed his poor abused nose.
"What?" It took her a couple of second to realize that she was still on the plane. She rubbed her eye with one of her free hand. The other was rapped around Inu yasha's arm right arm, but she quickly let go. Her head still remained on his shoulder. "What's going on?"
"The attendance asked us what we want to eat."
"Well...Oden would be nice. Along with a bottle of spring water, mini carrot sticks, and to top it off, a triple scoop ice cream cone. Tell me when the food is here." With the last sentence, she fell back asleep.
'This is really going to be a long trip.'
- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -
Kagome began to wake up when she heard Inu yasha talking to someone. She had woken up, but didn't open an eye. She heard:
"I think I'll have ramen, um...two bowls of rice with chicken, a bottle of coke, a medium sized apple and a triple scoop ice cream cone."
The attendance scribbled down the different kinds of foods in her notebook and asked, "What about your little friend over there?"
"Oh yeah, um...let's see. She wanted Oden, a bottle of spring water, carrot sticks and a triple scoop ice cream on a cone. But bring the ice cream last. It'll completely melt when she's finished with her food."
She wrote down Kagome's foods to. "It'll be here in less then 10 minutes. Is that all?"
"Yeah," and she walked away to prepare their meal.
Kagome cracked an eye open. "Since when did you know I like Oden?"
"When you told me. You were half asleep."
"Oh." She replied. 'It seems like I did get a wrong impression of him on the first day. He really is nice.'
(Poor Kagome. She doesn't now that he's doing this for a purpose.)
"Are you awake now? Or are you going to fall asleep again?" He asked while putting his Cd player away so he would have room to eat.
"I think that's enough sleep for now." She sat in her sitting position and raised her hands as high as she could, trying to get a good stretch. "Thanks for lending me your shoulder."
'Don't ever do it again' he thought, but said. "No problem."
She smiled. "Hey look, foods here."
The attendance was holding two trays, one for Kagome and the other for Inu yasha.
She placed a tray in front of Kagome, which fit perfectly over the armrests and then the other in front of Inu yasha.
Inu yasha picked up one of his bowls of chicken rice and offered it to Kagome. "Here. I thought just Oden and carrot stick wouldn't fill you up, so I ordered a bowl of rice for you."
She used her left hand to grab the bowl of rice and with the other making room on the tray for it. "Thank you."
He turned his head the opposite direction of her face. "Keh."
They both ate and talked about many things. Inu yasha almost blew his clover three times. (The being nice thing.)
The maid came back to get the finished food. She came back with two triple scoop ice cream cones. The bottom scoop was vanilla, then chocolate and then strawberry.
"Thank you so much." Kagome thanked the attendance while her eyes never leaving the ice cream.
She smiled at Kagome's happiness. "Your welcome. Enjoy." And she walked away yet again to do her work.
While eating the ice cream Kagome asked Inu yasha, "How much longer do we have to wait?"
He lifted his left arm to check the time. "Um...I'm guessing we have, three hours left."
After they were done their ice cream, Kagome suggested they play some card games to pass the time. They played poker, go fish, speed, black jack and fifty-two pick-ups. But that only happened when Inu yasha thought Kagome was cheating and accidentally knocked the cards off the mini table.
They kept on playing until they hear the sound of a triangle. It was the attendance. She was playing the little instrument to get everyone's attention. When she thought she had everyone's attention, she said:
"We will be landing in around 5 to 10 minutes. Please prepare yourselves for the landing. Thank you."

They are not at Florida yet but they are going to be in the next chapter.
I will be taking two-week break from my story peoples. Maybe less than two-week, but around there. I'm sorry, but it summer vacation and I need my break to enjoy at least some of it.
When I'm back, I'll try to make the next chapter long.
Baby Inu.
