Chapter3
Meeting Kagome's friends
Kagome opened the door to her room, stepping aside and letting Sango enter first. Sango stepped in, slipping off her sandals and looked around amazedly.
"Wow! Kagome! Your room is so big! You're entire castle is big! Is your family related to a lord of any kind?" she asked amazedly.
Kagome entered her room and shut the door behind her, giggling lightly.
"No, this is just a modern home. If you think I'm rich, you have to see some houses down by my school. They're huge!"
Sango blushed at her lack of knowledge.
"Oh!"
Kagome smiled, walking over to her closet. She opened it up and once again amazed Sango.
"Kagome! Wow! You have so many clothes!"
"Thank you!"
"And yet, why do you continue to wear that skimpy uniform all of the time?" Sango asked curiously.
Kagome frowned.
"I don't ALWAYS wear it," she pointed out.
Sango blushed again.
"That's right."
'And yet, I don't recall ever seeing her without it,' she thought to herself.
"Well Sango, you can pick out anything in here that you want to wear, ok? Bring a lot, around fourteen or fifteen. We're going to be there for two whole weeks," Kagome said excitedly.
Sango gasped.
"Fourteen whole days?!"
"Yup! Wait, you don't mind do you...?"
"Oh of course not. I was just asking."
Kagome nodded.
"Okay."
"But Kagome, if I have all of your clothes, what are you going to wear?"
Kagome smiled again.
"Oh I'll find something around here."
She giggled and than run out of the room.

Sota led Inuyasha and the others down the steps, than turned left. He led them down a short hallway and than stopped in front of a white door. He slowly opened the door and stuck his head in. He than quickly ran in, allowing the others to come in too before he shut the door.
"This was my mom and dad's room before he died," Sota whispered.
There was a large, dusty bed against the wall in the center of the room. Next to it was a dusty nightstand with a small light blue lamp into of it. To the far left of the room was a dresser and two large closet doors.
"Now my mom sleeps upstairs with grandpa. We haven't came in this room for a long time," he added.
Inuyasha stood behind Sota and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's ok kid," he muttered.
Sota smiled widely at Inuyasha and wiped away a few tears. He quickly walked over to the closet and yanked it open. A large squeaking noise came from the closet door, and two or three moths flew out of the closet. Inuyasha quickly jumped up and ripped the moths in half.
"I hate moths..." he mumbled. (If you've seen Inuyasha the movie, the villain is a moth, so that's why he no likey moths!)
Sota watched the moths wings slowly flutter to the ground and than turned around and went back to searching for clothes for them all. He found a black t-shirt with the word 'Tokyo' written on it in Japanese.
Inuyasha quickly jumped forward and grabbed it.
"I'll wear it!" he yelled.
Sota laughed.
"Kagome's right, you are funny!"
Inuyasha sweat dropped.
'Kagome said I'm funny?'
He paused.
"What else does she say about me?" he asked curiously.
Sota smiled. "Nothing except for she loves you!"
Inuyasha blushed while Miroku and Shippo laughed and Kohaku smiled slightly.
Sota turned around and went back to looking for clothes for his new friends. He pulled out a navy blue shirt that said, "P is for Pervert," which Miroku quickly grabbed. Sota sweat dropped.
'I don't remember dad ever wearing that before....'
He pulled out three more shirts, all of which Inuyasha claimed. One had been painted especially for Sota's dad, and it said, "I love my little Kagome." Inuyasha made sure no one saw him grab it though. The other two were just plain and white t-shirts. He pulled out two more and Miroku grabbed those two. The first one had a picture of an animated Buddha. The other one had a plump and old monk on the front. He was bowing and his eyes were closed. Sota than became tired and just pulled out a large amount of clothes.
"You can choose the ones you like, I have to go upstairs and give Kohaku and Shippo some of my clothes!" he said happily.
Inuyasha and Miroku nodded as Sota began to leave the room.
"Hey, wait!" Inuyasha yelled after him.
Sota turned around.
"Yes?"
"Do you have a place where I can... You know, do my business?" Inuyasha asked in a low whisper.
Sota smiled. "Sure, and it's called a bathroom. Just go straight down the hall and make a left. You can't miss it!"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Thanks Sota."
"Welcome!" He than turned around and ran upstairs.
When Inuyasha turned to the pile of clothes, he saw that Miroku already had his clothes picked out.
"I'll be waiting upstairs for you slow pokes," he said with a mischievous smirk on his face.
"Miroku, what are you smiling about?"
"Mmm, nothing!" He than ran out of the room and went up stairs.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"Pervert..."
He went over to the pile of clothes and noticed that the shirt he had had, the one that said, "I love my little Kagome," was on the floor. Inuyasha frowned.
"Gah!" He shrugged it off and began to pick up the clothes he wanted again. He heard the door open, and figured it was Miroku, trying to get some more clothes. He just sat there crouched over, going through the pile of clothes. The person slowly walked over behind him and when the person didn't say anything, he quickly turned around to see.... Kagome.
They both blushed at how close they were, but instead of moving away, Inuyasha kissed her lightly and blushed. Kagome blushed as well, but not as much as Inuyasha.
"Hi," he whispered.
Kagome smiled at him. Just for him and no one else.
"Hi," she whispered back.
She looked around him at the pile of clothes and smiled lightly.
"I haven't seen any of those clothes touch a human body in years," she whispered.
"If you don't want me to wear them, I'll- I'll put them back!" he said quickly.
Kagome giggled. "No, it's ok."
He quickly turned around and picked up all of the shirts and pants he wanted and stood in front of Kagome again.
"Uh, sorry it was taking so long."
Kagome reached over and massaged his ear.
"It's alright. Sango still isn't ready and Kohaku and Shippo aren't either. It's a good thing you and my father are the same size."
Kagome noticed that her name was on one of the shirts and quickly snatched it from Inuyasha. She smiled warmly and hot tears came to her eyes as she saw the shirt.
"I was wondering where this shirt was," she whispered. "My dad bought it at a fair when I was five. He put it on me at first, and I dragged it around on the ground."
Kagome put her hand over her eyes and wiped the tears away.
"Oh gosh, why'd he have to...."
Inuyasha dropped the clothes in his hands and wrapped his arms around her waist. She set her chin on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"Thank you Inuyasha."

Kagome and Inuyasha walked upstairs, seeing that Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, Shippo and Sota- SOTA?! Sota had a large suitcase next to him, with a large pair of shades on. This trip was meant for Sota. It was just for Kagome and her feudal friends. It was a celebration for their defeat of Naraku!
"How do I look sis?!" Sota asked excitedly.
Kagome sighed. "Uh Sota... This vacation was just for us..."
Sota slowly took off his sunglasses.
"I know... For all us," he said pointing to everyone including himself.
"Um no, it's for us," Kagome said, pointing to everyone except for Sota.
"But what about me?" he asked sadly.
"It's kind of like a vacation for us for defeating Naraku... Please don't feel bad. And besides, I can go on vacation with you, mom and grandpa anytime.... Ok?"
Sota quickly whipped away the tears that were forming in his eyes.
"O-okay!" he stuttered. His bottom lip trembled, but he continued to smile at his sister. "As long as when you get back, we can all hang out. The whole family, okay?"
Kagome walked over to her little brother and ruffled his hair.
"Okay little brother!"
There was a moment of silence as Kagome bent down and hugged her brother. Suddenly, a large honking noise came from outside.
"Oh no! That's Yuki! I told her we would be out there and ready!" Kagome cried.
"Well, we better get going," Inuyasha said, picking up the bags, ready to bound outside in his regular kimono.
"Wait just a minute!" Kagome demanded.
"Huh?"
Kagome dug around in the small backpack she had on her back, pulling out a red and white trucker hat.
"Put this over your head."
"I almost forgot," he mumbled.
Inuyasha took the hat from her and quickly placed it on his head, while everyone else picked up their suitcases and walked outside.
"What the-"
Miroku and everyone else stopped in their tracks as they saw the strange gadget in front of them. Kagome turned around and looked at them.
"What... is it?" she asked confused.
"What the heck is that!?" Miroku yelled.
"Come on Kagome!" Ayume yelled from the front seat window of her friends Explorer. (For those of you who don't know, an Explorer XLT has three rows of seats) "We're trying to get there before all of the good rooms are taken! Tell your friends to put their stuff in the trunk on come on!"
Kagome turned around and looked at her friends. "I'll explain everything when we get to the hotel, I promise. Just trust me ok?"
They all gave each other a regretful look and than nodded.
"Okay Kagome, if you say so," Shippo said, jumping onto her shoulder. Kagome pat his head and walked over to the car. She paused for a moment as she noticed another person in the car.
"Hey Kagome!"
Kagome frowned. 'Oh no.'
Hojo, who else, sat in the front seat crammed up with Ayume.
"I had to sit up here with Ayume so there was enough room for all of your friends," he said sweetly.
"Uh, thanks Hojo."
Inuyasha growled slightly.
'Hojo...'

Yuki, Ayume and Hojo sat crammed in the first row of seats, while Sango, Kohaku and Miroku sat in the middle row, and Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo sat comfortably in the back.
"So, these are people from Northern Japan?" Yuki asked curiously, keeping her eyes on the road.
"Yep," Kagome said plainly.
Hojo chuckled. "No wonder they're so strange looking."
Everyone glared at him, while Kagome, Ayume and Yuki felt sorry for him for being so dense.
"Well, maybe we think you're strange looking," Sango fired back.
Hojo smiled. "Oh, I know I'm not strange looking. Everyone dresses like this."
Inuyasha cracked his knuckles. "Well, where we're from, everyone dresses like this," he growled. Kagome just sat there, curling her finger in Shippo's tail. She couldn't wait for them to arrive at the hotel. It was about two or so hours away, so she knew she would be asleep for half of the trip. She yawned, and than curled up next to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked down at her, blushing lightly. He than put his arm around her waist, laying his head on top of hers.
Kagome smiled.
'This is going to be a good trip...'
