A/N: I'm back!!! Creepy huh? I just can't get enough of those rascals Inuyasha and Kagome. What can I say? Well, this one is more modern and full of fluff...I hope...

Summer Nights

Kagome looked out her 2-story window at the lake below. She sighed and wished she wasn't alone. "Sango, do you know what the best part of summer is?"

Sango looked up from her magazine, "Seventeen says it's 'bikinis, short skirts, and tans.'"

"It's about long walks on the beach, bonfires with friends, and summer romances."

"Ah...and we have none of the above."

"Right. I hate being here. This cabin is so boreing! Why do we have to spend every summer here? Away from all our friends, all the stores...all the guys..." Kagome left the window and flopped onto her bed. "The only joy I have is knowing I'm not suffering alone." She gave a fake smile to Sango.

"Gee, thanks. I'm glad I can be your scapegoat." Sango said and went back to reading her magazine.

"We should leave. My parents are never home anyway, they'd never know. We could get the keys to the boat, fill it with supplies and sail back home. Of course we'd grab the credit card to ensure tons of rich goodies for our road trip. Sound like a plan?"

Sango shut her magazine and rolled it up. "Half baked," she patted Kagome's head with the magazine and threw it in her closet. She then sat on the bed next to Kagome.

"So, what do you want to do now? It's only 4 in the afternoon and we've got a good 2 hours before your brother comes home to make dinner." At the thought of Kagome's brother Sango smiled.

"So, how long have you liked my brother?" Kagome asked giving Sango a playful shove.

"Ha! I don't ... like him...he's just nice. That's all!" Sango said hitting Kagome with a pillow.

"Uh huh...sure..." Kagome eyed her suspiciously, "that'd be cool though. If you guys got married we'd be sisters! So...I'm not opposed..."

"Ha ha ha, very funny."

"Well, do you want to go to the market place then and get some food for dinner?"

"Sure," Sango said, getting up to get her flip flops, "I'm sick of cold pizza."

The girls walked down the dirt road leading from Kagome's cabin to the small marketplace by the boat docking area. It consisted of a grocery/gas store, small clothes store, Italian restaurant, pool hall, and pub.

They walked into the air conditioned grocery store and started shopping. "Okay, we have to get noodles, sauce, turkey, broccoli, bread, eggs, butter, ..." Kagome said, reading off the list.

Half way through Sango stopped her, took the grocery list, and tore it in half. She handed half to a stunned Kagome saying, "How about we split up, get what our lists say, and meet back here in a half and hour?"

"Sounds good, then we can get ice cream!" The two girls laughed and split to get their items.

Half hour later they were sitting outside the store, with too many bags, eating their ice cream.

Kagome finished hers and said, "We should probably head back now," she checked her watch, "Miroku will be home any minute."

Sango slurped down her remaining cone and jumped up. "Ok."

They started trying to pick up the bags but found they had too many to carry by themselves. Eventually they managed to collect them all and shuffled down the road towards Kagome's cabin.

They had only gotten 5 steps when someone bumped into Kagome causing her, and her groceries, to fall.

"Hey watch it!" She yelled, and started picking up the groceries before they spoiled.

"Sorry! Are you okay?" a voice asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Here, lemme help you," the voice said. He started picking up groceries and handing them to Kagome. Apparently the voice was connected to a hand. "It's okay, really, you don't have to help," Kagome said, getting up and trying to organize the grocery bags again.

"It's no trouble. Besides I ran into you. The least I can do is help you carry these bags home."

She looked up and was stunned to see a boy about her age standing there smiling. She was stunned speechless. He had golden-brown eyes, dark black hair, and a smile that made her melt.

All she could say was "Okay," and hand him a bag of groceries without ever looking from his eyes.

"My name is Inuyasha," he said, extending his hand.

She just looked at his hand for a bit then snapped back to reality, "Oh! My name is Kagome!"

"Nice to meet you," he said as he shook her hand. Then he took some bags of groceries and started walking down the road.

Sango had to tap Kagome to remind her to walk.

"Wow Kagome," was all she said as she shook her head. They started to walk down the path.

A/N: So..Whatd'ya think?
