Catch Her With A Net

Disclaimer: Own the story, but not the characters. If I had the Shikon No Tama, I'd wish that Inuyasha were all mine! Bwahaha!

A/N: Kami, over 350 reviews! (lol only by two, but still!) This may not be much to other people, but I was excited when I had 9 so xP Now as for a sequel to this . . I don't think so. Maybe a long time from now because I'm still working on "Sweet Misery" and I already have another idea in my head. Now on the last chapter!

Chapter 20 Okinawa

"I told you, I ain't going and that's that!"

"I don't think so dog boy! Get your ass in gear before I hurt you!"

"Oh, you think you can take me ? Go on, try it and see what happens!"

Kagome lunged at her husband, toppling the couch over in the process.

"Look what you did!"he barked beneath her."Now the neighbors will complain about all the noise!"

"Well then get moving before I do something that'll really make them complain!"

Inuyasha stood up and eyed his wife, unbelieving. "Bullshit. You wouldn't do something to intentionally bother someone."

"With the exception of you," she snarled, smacking the back of his knees, causing him to fall back to the ground. "Why are you being so freakin' difficult ? I know you wanna go so quit acting like such a hard ass!"

"You really think it's that firm ?"

Inuyasha peered over his shoulder to inspect his backside.

"You are unbelievable!" screeched Kagome, and pinned Inuyasha to the floor. "Listen up dog boy," she hissed in a dangerously low voice. "Kaori invited usto go. It's not every day that we get to go on vacation with our son so we're going. I don't care what half-assed excuse you have, we're going."

She slowly stood and scowled at him, daring him to challenge her.

"Does it have to be Okinawa ?" he whined, sitting up.

"What's wrong with Okinawa ?"

"It's just that . . Sesshoumaru lives there."

Kagome stared at him. "And . . ?"

"And I don't wanna go where he lives!"

"Oh for crying out loud!"


Inuyasha sat in a chair.

Which was on a plane.

Which was in the sky, on its way to Okinawa.

Stupid Kagome.

"Psst, Inuyasha!"

He looked over at her, annoyed. "Whadda ya want now, wench ?"

Kagome pinched him. Hard.

"Look, I don't know what the hell your problem is, but you better quit calling me names!"

"Or what ?" he sneered.

"Or . . or no sex for the rest of the year!"

Inuyasha's jaw dropped. "Kagome, I do-"

"That's better. Now look at the window!"

'I don't care if we don't have sex . . as long as I'm with her. But it is a nice bonus,' he thought as he leaned forward to look past her, secretly peeking at her breasts.

"Isn't it beautiful ?" she squealed. "Kami, the water looks so clear!"

Inuyasha nodded and lay back in his seat.

"Say, Kagome ?"

"Hmm ?" she replied, not turning her head from the window.

He enveloped her left hand in his. "I love you."

She turned to him and smiled. "I love you too Inuyasha."

"How come you always add my name at the end ?"

"Huh ?"

He sat up. "When you say that you love me, you always add my name at the end. I know you're talking to me, so why ?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. It just seems more personal, using your actual name. It I said a generic nickname, it wouldn't sound as sincere, like something to use to make sure someone doesn't mix up their 2 lovers' names. It's just for you."

He blushed, embarrassed. "Do you not want me to call you 'babe' anymore ?"

She looked at him questioningly, then it dawned on her. "Oh Inuyasha, I didn't mean to say that you use it that way!" She blushed as well. "I kinda like the fact that you have a nickname for me."

He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

"Okay babe, rest til we get there."

She nodded and slowly drifted off to sleep.


"Where are they ?" whined Hiro, for the millionth time.

"Mom, make him shut up, PLEASE!"

"Toji!" snapped Kaori. "Do not speak like that to either me or your brother. I'm just as edgy as you and you're not helping the situation."

Tatsuya laughed.

"And you!" she said, spinning around to point a finger at him. "Shouldn't you be paying attention to the crowd to see if they're here yet ?"

The crowd at the airport jostled the little family together, meshing their angry tempers, with the exception of Tatsuya. Kaori was glistening, persperation beading down the back of her neck. Toji and Hiro stood fanning themselves.

Tatsuya grabbed a handful of his wife's silky red locks and inhaled their scent.

"Mmm . . coconuts."

Kaori stared at him wide-eyed as he kissed her full on the lips. "Relax Kiree," he said huskily. "They're right over there."

Regaining her composure, Kaori turned to greet the couple.


"Wow . ." breathed Kagome, her head tilted to the sky. "This is the hotel we're staying in ?"

"Yeah!" chirped Hiro. "This is the bestest place here, except for the beach."

He motioned for her to squat down so he could whisper in her ear.

"They have a pool here. Inside."

Kagome's eyes widened as she stood.

"You don't say . ."

Hiro nodded his head vigorously. Taking both their hands, he dragged Inuyasha and Kagome inside to check in.

The place was buzzing with summer vacationers and staff, phones ringing, people chattering and carts whizzing by. Inuyasha clamped his hands over his sensitive ears.

"Un-fucking-believable!"

"Watch your mouth!'' hissed Kagome, poking him in the ribs.

He looked at her sheepishly, ears still covered. "Sorry."

They walked over to the front desk to confirm their reservations and retrieve their card keys while Hiro trotted over to his adoptive mother.

15 minutes later

"Are you really Inuyasha and Kagome Taisho ?"

Inuyasha was about to lose his patience. "Kami, what the fuck are you, stupid ? What do you want from us ? Yes we're Inuyasha and Kagome! You've already checked our IDs! Do you need to do a DNA sample too? And maybe a urine sample as well ? Give us our fucking card keys!"

Alarmed, the receptionist went through the hotel's data files and retrieved the designated cards. "You're in room 407. I'm very sorry, its just that you look straight out of high school."

"We are straight out of high school," Inyasha bragged. "I'm just rich."

Several scantily clad women suddenly crowded around him, pushing Kagome out out of the way.

"Hey baby," cooed one, her fingers weaving through Inuyasha's. "How about I show you a good time, hmm ?"

"Or I could," interjected another, raking her fake nails down his chest.

Kagome pushed the first woman, who teetered on her too high heels and fell to the floor. She growled at the rest.

"Back off you fucking hoes. This is my husband."

The others scattered, but the one on the floor remained. "Oh no," she whimpered. "I think I twisted my ankle! Darling, do you think you could help me ?" she asked, wrapping her fingers around Inuyasha's hand.

Kagome knelt down beside her. "Look bitch, you have 3 whole seconds to back the fuck off my husband or I'll break you're fucking face, got it ?"

The woman immediately let go off Inuyasha's hand. "Stupid little girl," she hissed, before getting up and striding perfectly well over to another man.

Kagome stood and dusted off the knees of her jeans. Catching Inuyasha's stare, she glared at him. "What ?" she demanded.

He stepped back, hands up in defense. "Not a damn thing, I swear!" He leaned in close. "I can tell you what's up though."

"You're horrible!" she gasped.

He chuckled. "And here I thought you'd be used to it by now." He took her hand. "And don't say I've been hanging out with Miroku too much. I already know that. Lets go see what the Sakamotos have planned."

Kagome allowed herself to be led away by her hanyou husband, a single thought occupying her mind.

And he said he didn't want to go.


Inuyasha, Kagome, Kaori, and Tatsuya lay out on the sand while Toji and Hiro played down by the water. Toji was learning young what a babe magnet a little kid could be. The sun rose high in the sky, beating down insufferable temperatures. Inuyasha lay sprawled on his stomach in red swimming trunks while Kagome applied sunblock to his back. She herself wore a soft blue one piece suit, much to Inuyasha's delight. He was the only one who got to see the sexy body beneath it. Kaori lay in a beach chair, a large straw hat on to shade her face. "I don't want any freckles," she explained. "Imagine how stupid that would look with this red bikini! And my red hair . . There'd be red everywhere!"

Tatsuya laughed, applying lotion to his wife's leg. Placing the bottle back inside the pocket of his green trunks, he asked, "Aren't you going to tell them ?"

"Tell us what ?" asked Inuyasha, propping himself up on his elbows.

"Well," started Kaori. "Tatsuya and I were thinking of telling Hiro that you're his real parents."

"Nani ?"

"Think about it!" said Kaori, smiling. "You've both graduated from high school now. We'll still watch him if you like, but he's bound to figure it out when he's older. And I think you'd both like that. We'll officially give him to you after you graduate from college."

Kagome sat speechless while Inuyasha pluttered to form a somewhat coherent reply.

"Inuyasha."

He turned to face the person who's shadow casted over him like a black cloud. Fuck. This is the reason he didn't want to come.

"Sesshoumaru."

"Hey Inu!" Rin called cheerfully, poking her head out from behind her husband's broad back. "Why didn't you tell us you were in Okinawa ?"

Inuyasha stuttered, not wanting to hurt Rin's feelings. "I . . anou i-it was a last minute decision. S-spontaneous you could say, and-"

Kagome doubled over laughing. "You baka! You're horrible at lying!"

"You mean it wasn't spontaneous ?" sked Rin, who had obviously bought Inuyasha's alibi. Now it was Kagome's turn to stutter.

"Come Rin," said Sesshoumaru. leading his wife away. "I'm sure Inuyasha and Kagome will come for dinner sometime during their stay here."

Kagome and Inuyasha blinked at one another. Then they burst out in hysterical laughing. Kaori and Tatsuya just sat there staring at their deranged friends, wondering what in seven hells had just happened.

The younger couple rose to help the two boys build a sandcastle. Hiro was running around wildly, knicking down every wall Toji made.

He groaned. "Hiro, knock it off!"

"Okay!" he squealed, knocking down another wall.

Toji slapped a hand over his face, trying to control his temper. "That's. Not. What. I Meant."

"Need some help ?''

When Toji saw Kagome, his face flooded with relief. "Kami, yes. This little bakemono keeps knocking everything down!''

"Well you told me to knock it off!" argued Hiro.

Toji rolled his eyes. "Knock it off and knock it down are two entirely different things."

"Okay, this isn't getting us anywhere," interrupted Inuyasha. "Toji and Hiro, you help me pile up sand together. Kagome, you take this and go fill it with water."

Kagome saluted and trotted towards the ocean, bucket in hand.

Inuyasha turned back to the boys. "Okay, how do you wanna do this ?"

They began to ramble off ideas, often bickering about whose was the best. Suddenly they started giggling. It grew louder and louder until they were rolling in the sand in full blown hysterics. Inuyasha turned around to see what was so damn funny, but by then it was too late.

Kagome had dumped an entire bucket of ice cold ocean water right on his head.

He leapt up and took off after her, yelling obscenities. She laughed aloud, only causing him to become more frustrated.

"Get back here woman! How'd you like a taste of your own medicine!"

A/N: And there's the END!
