Chapter four - Settling in and old time Friends
-----------------------(The story)-----------------------
The plane soon landed and Inu yasha and Kagome were ready to go. They saw a couple of people start to file out of the plane so they then started to follow. Kagome had her purse in one hand and the other carried her medium large bag. Inu yasha just had one large bag to carry, which he had over his shoulder, holding with one hand.
While walking to the door, they saw Kikyo picking up her things. She had many small purses, and three different bags for clothing. Naraku had a hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Kikyo, why do you have so many things to carry?" He asked as he threw his large bag over his shoulder.
Kikyo was on the floor gathering all her items. "I need them you know!" she exclaimed.
She was about to pick up one of her small purse, until she saw a shadow go over it.
She looked up and saw Inu yasha standing there.
"Kikyo what are you doing on the ground?"
Kikyo smiled when she saw him. "Inu yashie!!" she said in a high voice, which made Inu yasha cringe. "I'm picking up my stuff."
"Oh."
Once Kikyo was done picking up her things, all four of them went off the airplane.
Outside they saw everyone, including Sesshomaru and Mrs. Kimono.
"Well, I think that's everyone. Come now. We must get to the hotel before sunset. We'll be walking since it's not far off."
(A/n. I have never been to Florida so I don't know what it looks like. I wanna go though. T.T)
It was bright and sunny. There were many trees for shade plus many cars making the street noisy. Along the way, the girls saw a couple of mini malls and one big one. They all found at least one place they wanted to shop at. They saw bread stores, flower shops, hair salons, a water park called Wet and Wild, (that's actually a real name of a water park. But I do not own it) many beautiful houses, a park and a very big arcade.
Mrs. Kimono stopped walking and turned towards everyone behind her. "Here we are."
Everyone stared at the huge/very large hotel. It had many balconies decorated with beautiful, exotic flowers. There were many windows too. They must have used some kind of special cleaning item because the windows were clear and shiny. The building was painted carefully with an artic white kind of color. The sunlight deflexed off the painted white building, making it look like it was glowing. In front of the building was a long pole. It was a sign in big bold letters, yet very colorful that said: Sunset hotel. (I know. It's lame name.)
Everyone couldn't wait to go inside and check out what his or her room would look like since the outside looked so beautiful already. They all wanted to race inside there but went at the pace Mrs. Kimono was walking at.
The waiting room looked luxurious. There was an information center straight ahead with a dark red carpet leading from the front doors to it. Above it was a picture of the hotel itself beside the beach. The walls were painted golden and shines just as beautifully as the windows. Five red and black chairs were lined at each side of the wall. The red and black chairs were put there to match the red carpet.
Mrs. Kimono walked up to the secretary. "Hello. Shikon high booked eight rooms."
"Yes. It says right here. Do you have your teacher id?" (Is there such thing as a teacher id? I don't really know. Heh. I'm making it up -) Mrs. Kimono took out her wallet and grabbed out a blue card with a picture of her, as well as the name of the school.
The secretary accepted the card and typed something on the computer really fast.
She gave Mrs. Kimono her card back as well as a list and about, 16 keys with numbers on them.
While looking at the paper, she walked back to the group. "We have floor 15 and 14. Kagome and Inu yasha has room 60. Sango and Miroku have room 58. Koga has 59. And Shippo and Destiny has room 57. For the other floor, Manten and Yura have room 56. Sesshomaru and I have 55. Kagura and Hiten has room 54 and Kikyo and Naraku has room 53."
Mrs. Kimono started to give everyone their keys to their room. "These are the key to your rooms. Don't lose them. Well now. Lets get settled in and unpack. I will be assigning a project tomorrow. Dinner will be at 6:30. Be there." So half the peoples went on one elevator, and the others went on the other one.
-------------(the elevator)---------------
"Miroku. Why are you so happy?" asked Inu yasha in the elevator.
"Cause I get to sleep in a room with a girl." Inu yasha slapped him in the back of his head.
"You damn pervert." He said angrily.
"What? It's not like you never think like a pervert. Everyone has to in his or her life." Miroku defended himself while rubbing where Inu yasha had slapped him.
"Not all the time like you." He hissed.
The elevator finally stopped and made a little "ding" sound. Everyone, with their partners went to their rooms.
"Oh! I can't wait to see what our room looks like!" Kagome said cheerfully. Since Kagome was ahead of Inu yasha, she used her key to open the door.
When Kagome went in, she was in awe. The room was beautiful and luxurious. The size was pretty big, just a little bigger than Inu yasha's room, which is big. Up ahead were two twin beds with a big white fluffy pillows and red silky blankets and sheets.
There was a little table separating the beds and a lamp on top of it. On the other side of the beds were another little table, but with nothing on it and it had a medium sized door to put stuff in.
The balcony was to the left and to the right was a desk big enough for two people to work on. The bathroom was in the far corner. It was quite large, with the sink, bathtub and toilet white. A silver rail was attached to the wall to put your towel on. The tiles and walls were a white color to.
Other than the beds, balcony, bathroom and desk, there was a medium sized TV and a leather couch.
"Wow...This place is awesome!" Kagome said. She quickly raced to the bed and claimed the one closes to the bathroom. "I get this bed!"
She flopped down on the bed to see how soft it was. "Sooooo soft." She mumbled with her head in the sheets.
Inu yasha went to the other bed and placed his bag on top of it. "Well, we better get unpacking."
Kagome took out her binder that was already stuff with pencils, pens, paper and others. She put it on the large desk. She placed her alarm clock on the little table beside her desk and beside it was a picture of Sango, Kagome and two unknown girls. One of the unknown girls had red hair with to pigtails and a purple flower in her hair. She was wearing a white skirt and a white tan top. The other girl looked the shortest there. She had long black hair that went up to her shoulders and wore an orange skirt that went to her knees and a orange t–shirt. She was on the ground at their feet while the three hooked their arms around each other's shoulders. All of the girls looked at the camera with tiny, yet bright smiles on their faces.
She dug into her bag and took out bottles of shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush and other washing materials and put them into the bathroom. The last thing she took out was a little doll. It kind of looked like Kagome in a way, but ten times smaller and she placed it beside her pillow.
"There, I'm done" She smiled.
He blinked twice. "You call that unpacked?"
Kagome stopped smiling. "Well...yeah." He just shook his head.
"What about your clothes?" he asked. "Where are you going to put them?"
"I'm leaving them in my bag. There's no draw to put it in." she shrugged.
Inu yasha looked around but found that she was right. "Oh well. Who are those other two girls in the picture?" he asked while he pointed at the picture on the little table beside her bed.
"Oh. The one in orange is Rin and the other girl in white is Ayame. They moved away while we were all in elementary. We haven't seen them since."
Inu yasha noticed the doll on her bed. "What's the story with that thing? Don't tell me that your scared at night and you need your little dolly." He said like he was talking to a child.
Kagome quickly grabbed the doll and hugged it. "Don't insult it! It's a memory of Rin and Ayame and Sango to!"
Inu yasha raised a brow. "How is it a memory?"
Kagome sighed. "We were shopping for the last time before Rin and Ayame had to leave. We came upon a doll shop and went in. We were all looking at them until Sango saw a set of four dolls. They looked like us, but only smaller. We decided to buy the set. We all pitched in money to buy it. We all keep the ones that looked like us. That's why it's so special." Kagome explained sadly.
"Oh. So that's why. You know, I never heard Sango mention any of this." Kagome shrugged her shoulders. (I guess she likes shrugging her shoulders. )
"What should we do now? We have about one hour left before dinner." Kagome informed.
"I don't know. Do as you please." He flopped down on the bed and closed his eyes but was not sleeping.
"I'm going to take a bath. Don't make the place a mess while I'm gone." She warned. The last thing she needed was the teacher complaining how messy their room was.
"Yea yeah."
Kagome dug around for some sweat pants, a t-shirt and her towel, which had cute little bunnies on it and walked into the bathroom.
Inu yasha opened his eyes when he heard the sound of running water go on in the bathroom. He closed them again after about what seemed to be about ten minutes to him. 'I don't like the idea of be soooo nice to someone like her. It's just not me.' He thought. 'And why was she being so nice me?' "I don't get it" He said to him self.
He had been so into him thoughts that he didn't hear the bathroom door open. "What don't you get?" Kagome asked him while she used her towel to dry her hair.
"None of your business." He said rudely with his eyes still closed.
"Gezz. You don't have to be rude. I was just asking a simple question."
"Keh," was his smart response.
Kagome laid her towel on the leather couch to dry and went to dry the rest of her hair with the hair dryer. "Aren't you going to shower or bathe before we go down for dinner?" She asked right before she turned on the hotel hair dryer.
He sat up in the bed. "Nah. I'll shower after dinner."
She shrugged her shoulders and finished drying her hair. "Fine by me."
"Come on. Lets go. There is only five minutes left before dinner. Let's get there early."
"Right behind yea."
Both of them walked out to see that Sango and Miroku was head down the dining room to. Kagome and Inu yasha were going to say hi until Miroku's wondering hand landed on Sango's rear. The usual thing happened. Sango said pervert and slapped him while he tried to make an excuse for it.
"Kagome! How's your room? Mine is so cool!" Sango shouted with glee.
"Same here. The sheets are so soft and silky." She said with a smile.
"Oi Miroku. When are you going to get rid of that habit?" Inu yasha said with his hands in his pockets."
Sango glared at Miroku. "You might like getting slapped but my hand is starting to hurt, so you have better stop with all this groping."
"Anything for you, my dear Sango." He said as he groped her again.
Sango closed her eyes tightly and clenched one of her fists, with a little vein-popping out, anime style. Instead of slapping him, she punched him in his nose and stomped of towards the elevator.
Miroku stood there, watching her stomp off and Kagome following. He rubbed his nose and winced at the contact. "She has one hell of a punch you know."
Inu yasha sighed. "Your hopeless." He said and walked off after Kagome who was after Sango.
"Hey! Wait up!" He said as he speed walked to catch up with Inu yasha.
----------------(In the dinning room)----------------
Sango, Kagome, Inu yasha and Miroku arrived at the dinning room and saw that everyone was there, except Mrs. Kimono. (How come she always missing? Cause she has to check if everything is going smoothly.)
It was a fairly large round table they sat at. In the middle was a like another round table but smaller, without legs, and it could spin. There were It was used to put food on there. For example, if the tray of food was on the other side of the table, you can spin the little table to get it so it's in front of you.
About half feet all the way around were bowls, cups, plates, napkin and other eating utensils.
"Took you guys long enough. If you came any later, I think we would have starved."
"Put a cork in it Sesshomaru." Inu yasha said while grabbing a seat beside Kagome who was sitting beside Sango.
Kagome slapped him on the arm. "That's no way to talk to your brother." She hissed. She had figured out that Sesshomaru was Inu yasha's brother cause of their hair and eyes were similar, except Sesshomaru's hair is longer. She was not sure at first until Sango told her.
She turned to everyone sitting at the table. "Good Evening everyone."
Some nodded to her and some said "Good evening," back.
"Good Evening everyone!" Mrs. Kimono said as she entered the room. "Were having Chinese today."
"Good Evening Mrs. Kimono." Everyone said.
She took a seat beside Sesshomaru. "Were having a nine meal course so don't eat to much on the first one," she warned, "If you do, you won't have room for the other courses and dessert."
"Hey, Mrs. Kimono. If we have the weekends and Wednesdays off, doesn't that mean we have 12 days of working and 9 days off?" Mrs. Kimono nodded.
"You didn't think that your going to just play and goof off on those days off did you Sango," she asked. "There are project that are assigned for the weekends to you know. I think there are 1, no wait, maybe 2."
Everyone groaned. "Everyone. Be quiet the drinks and first course is coming."
Everyone looked at the two peoples that were coming their way. Both were dressed in black and white with food or drinks in the hands. The person with the drinks walked up to Kagura and Yura and said," excuse me." They did as they were asked and got out of the way. The waiter placed the drinks on the little round table and walked away to serve another costumer. The waiter with the first course walked between Kagome and Sango and did the same thing.
"Well, let's dig in!"
Inu yasha spun the table until the coke and sprite was in front of him and grabbed the coke to poor himself a drink. "Can you please poor me some?" asked Kagome.
"Sure."
"Thanks"
"Here Kagome." Said Sango while she put the shrimp meatball in Kagome's bowl. "Don't worry, I still remember that you loved those."
Kagome smiled because Sango still remembered about her favorite things and knew that she would Never in her life would forget about Ayame and Rin. "Thanks Sango."
In the first course was shrimp meatballs, eggs, chicken, noodles that look like jelly, (I don't know what's it's called but there pretty good,) duck, pork and a little bit off green stuff on the side to make it look fancy.
"Here's your drink." Inu yasha said as he placed the drink in front of her.
"Thanks again," she thanked. She gave him back his plate which she took while he wasn't watching, and it was filled with a little of everything. "While you were pouring my drink and yours, the food would be on the other side of the table so I grabbed you some food until the dish is back here."
"Thanks" he said as he took the plate, placed it down and started eating.
"Your welcome" Kagome said with a smile and began eating her food.
In a couple of minutes the food on the plate was all gone and the second course came. It was corn soup. (My fave. -) The same thing kind happened. The waiter said, "Excuse me" and of course Kagome and Sango did. If they didn't and they soup accidentally fell on them...It would burn. Ouch, but of course they moved. He put down they soup and placed a hand behind his back and with the other he picked up the soup spoon and began scooping the soup in the little bowls on the table.
When he was done, he put the big spoon down, picked up the old dish and walked away. Everyone began to take a bowl and place it in front of them. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Destiny, Kikyo and Mrs. Kimono began eating their soup but then noticed that the others weren't.
"Why aren't you guys eating?" asked Miroku. "It's really good."
"It's hot. Don't you remember were demons? Our senses are better. We can hear, see, smell and taste better than humans." explained Hiten.
"Then blow on it. Your blowing must be better than us to" Said Sango sarcastically so Koga picked up his spoon and blew a little to lightly.
"No Koga. Not that light, Harder." Kagome said "Like this." She scooped up a spoon full of soup and blew hard, really hard. She hadn't meant to blow so hard but she did unfortunately for Kikyo. The soup flew from Kagome's spoon and across the table, on to her face.
No body moved, but everyone watched as the warm substance slid down her face. Then Kagome gasped. "I'm sorry Kikyo." She apologized as she got out of her chair and walked to where Kikyo sat, with a napkin in her, ready to wipe the soup off her face.
Kikyo raised a hand. "No it's ok. Excuse me while I go to the washroom to get this stuff off."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Kikyo said angrily and made her way to the washroom.
"I didn't mean it," said Kagome sadly.
Sango patted her on the back. "It's ok. We all know that you didn't mean it. It was an accident." 'Even though she deserves it.' "Kagome, why don't you continue your soup? I need to go to the washroom."
"Hold on Sango. I need to go to." She said as she and Sango walked together to the washroom and the others continued on with their own soup.
Kagome and Sango stood still as they heard a voice from the washroom, "Hey, do you remember anyone with that voice?" asked Sango while she pressed an ear to the door to heard better.
Kagome also placed an ear to the door, listened and then gasped. "It sounds like Kikyo!" she whispered quietly to her friend.
They heard: "Stupid Higurashi! Who does she think she is? She probably meant to throw the soup at me." Kikyo growled while wiping the remaining soup on her face.
Sango growled lightly as well. "I knew that witch was up to something. She was just trying to act all nice to everyone and trying to impress Inu yasha."
Kagome at this point was lost. "What do you mean Sango? That can't be Kikyo, she nicer than that."
"Can't you see Kags? This is her true form. Trying to act nice and all around peoples. But she is a witch underneath all the stuff." She hissed.
"Are you sure Sango? I mean, how long have you known her?" Kagome tried to convince her but it wasn't working, it was the other way around.
"Kags, I've known her for to long if you ask me." Sango said as she shook her head in shame.
Kagome laughed. "Okay Sango, if you say she's evil, then she is. Now, didn't you need to go to the washroom?"
Sango shook her head. "No, I just wanted to show you...um...her," she said while pointing to the washroom door. "What about you?"
"Nah. I just did want you to go and leave me to those boys, even though there is still Kagura and them."
"Kay. It's time to head back." Sango said as they both made their way back to the table.
When they got back, there were three more courses on the table. The soup was still there, but add to the table was a dish that had chicken and some sauce on the side. Also, there was a dish that has some kind of green vegetables and scallop and it was a quarter gone. (I don't really like those =P) And the other plate was filled with noodles with some sauce on it to, which was half gone.
"Whoa. Looks like we missed something." Kagome said sarcastically.
Inu yasha turned to them with a mouth full of noodles. "Yeah. I think we would have ate it all if you came back any later."
Kagome slapped him on the arm like before. "Don't talk with your mouth full." She scolded as she took her seat.
Sango slapped Miroku's hand away from her chair before sitting down and glaring hard at Miroku who laughed nervously. "You know Kags. Your hand is going to hurt sooner or later if you keep slapping Inu yasha for his rudeness." Sango laughed out.
"I know. It's already starting to hurt." She said while shaking her hand.
"You might like slapping me but it hurts you know." Inu yasha pointed his chopsticks at her.
"Don't point that at me!" She slapped it down, "If you want me to stop, then stop being rude!"
"Well I'm sorry for being me!" he spat at her angrily.
"Children, children, please. Why don't we get back to eating instead?" Mrs. Kimono said while another course came in. It was fish. (I'm not a very big fan of fish =P)
Both Kagome and Inu yasha sat down glaring and growling at each other non-stop. "Umm hey," Naraku tried to get their minds off of each other, "Do you guys know why Kikyo is taking so long in the bathroom?"
"I don't know," both of them said in unison.
"How many planets in our solar system?" asked Yura.
"Nine" They said in unison once again with out losing their eye contact.
"What time is it?" asked Manten.
"7:00 o'clock and a few seconds,"
Manten checked his watch; it was 7:00 o'clock and a few seconds just like they said. "Whoa..."
"What your favorite food?" Sango asked and knew that they couldn't be the same.
"Ramen / Oden," They said at the same time and everyone sweat dropped.
"Are you both full?" Mrs. Kimono asked, having a plan/punishment for their behavior.
"Yes." They answered quickly.
"Then you better go back to your rooms and have a good rest." She said which shocked Kagome and Inu yasha, making them lose eye contact with each other. "I will be assigning a project for everyone tomorrow. Now be off you two."
They both got up at the same time. "Good night everyone. See you tomorrow." Kagome bowed to everyone and left, which Inu yasha tag behind, not saying good night or anything to anyone.
Kagome sighed while pressing the up button for the elevator. 'I had to start an argument with him.' She thought sarcastically.
'God dammit. That woman pisses me off so much' he also thought.
The elevator made a little "ding" sound, the doors opened and they both stepped inside. In the elevator, neither of them spoke, nor made any movement, both had a depressed expression on their face.
The elevator made another "ding" sound, making them snap back to reality. Kagome got out of the elevator, forgetting that Inu yasha was also with her. She opened the door and left it opened, but Inu yasha closed it after him.
He head straight for the washroom to take a shower, and to get away from her for a while. When Kagome got in, she headed straight for bed and got under the covers. She heard the shower go on and she grabbed the doll beside her pillow.
She looked out into the night sky form her bed. "Oh Ayame, Rin, I wish you guys were in Florida. Sango and me miss you guys a lot."
Little did she know, that wishes do come true, to those who believe.
-----------------------(Somewhere else)------------------------------
"Yeah. Don't worry, were fine. Yeah, but. No. Yea. Yes, were behaving. Yeah, yeah. I know already daddy. We'll be there by lunch. Ok. I love you to daddy, byes." She closed her cell, put in back in her purse and sighed.
"Who was that Ayame?" Rin asked while she was writing down the places there were going to go and stuff.
"I'll give you one guess."
Rin put her index finger to her chin, "umm...your dad?"
Ayame snapped her fingers together. "Bingo." Rin laughed. "Sometimes I think he is way to protective."
"That's what fathers do. I wish my father was still alive." She said sadly.
"It's okay Rin. They are still and will always watch over you. Just like me, Sango and Kagome are, no matter how far we are a part, we'll be there for each other." Ayame said while patting her back for comfort.
"Thanks Ayame. Speaking of Sango and Kagome, how do you think they are doing in Japan? We haven't seen each other in ages."
Ayame sighed, "I wish we can see them again soon." She said as she looked out the window and gazed upon the many stars.
Little did she know, that wishes do come true, to those who believe.
--------------(Back at the hotel)--------------
Inu yasha came out of the shower only in a towel, which was rapped around his waist. He had forgot to get his clothes when he came in; he just went straight toward the bathroom. He looked at the clock that was on the wall; it was only 7:30.
He saw Kagome already in bed but did not know weather she was sleeping or not. He quickly got out a loose t-shirt and a pair of boxers and put them on. Walking over to her bed, he crouched down till he was the same eye level as her. He has seen her sleeping in detention but she looked prettier sleeping like this.
The moonlight shinning down on her face made her look even prettier. She was sleeping on her side, facing the balcony. Her breathing was content and her face looked like she didn't have a care in the world. Her look a-like doll wasn't beside her pillow; it was on her pillow instead, about two inches away from her face.
She suddenly smiled, but then frowned. "Don't do that Ayame," she scolded in her sleep. Inu yasha just sweat dropped.
He looked over at the picture on the table. "Ayame and Rin." He whispered. "You guys must mean lot to Kagome."
"Of course they mean a lot to me!!" Kagome shouted as she sat up, scaring Inu yasha half to death making him jump back, with his back against his bed.
"You were a wake the whole time and didn't tell me?! And that's not all! You scared me half to death!" He said while he had a hand over his heart, trying to clam it from the sudden surprise he got.
"I'm sorry. I thought that you were implying that they meant nothing to me."
"Well...you thought wrong." He sighed. "I'm lucky I didn't have a heart attack."
"I'm really sorry." she apologized. "It won't happen again, as long as you down watch me from such a close distance."
"Yeah, yeah. Just go back to sleep or something." He said as he climbed on his bed.
Kagome pouted. "I was never asleep. I-I-I just had my eyes closed. That's all." She knew that she was asleep but didn't want to admit that to him. She waited for his respond but it never came. Instead, she heard snoring.
She got off her bed. "and he's sleeping..." Kagome sighed and walked to the wall to turn off the lights, then back into bed. She got back into her position she was in before Inu yasha woke her up.
She picked up her alarm clock and set it for eight o'clock. "Good night Inu yasha." She yawned before drifting off in her own land of dreams.
