Today I want to thank all of my reviewers! It feels so good to know that some people actually reads the story and likes it.


To all of the reviews:

Soojan: Thanks so much! I'm really happy that you like this story! Yes, I do hate Kikyo but she's not all that bad to InuYasha. I do have one scene made out in my head that has a vicious part containing InuYasha, Kagome, and Kikyo. And about Koga... maybe I will let him in the story later on, but he belongs to Ayame (even though he likes Kagome, he'll learn to love Ayame)!


Summer Day


Kikyo sat on the hotel's bed and her eyes narrowed as she remembered InuYasha leaving her. How could he have left her like that? How could he have left her for an ugly bitch like Kagome?

Turning around again Kikyo made a face. Since she had seen InuYasha at Swentuio she had thought of him endlessly. He was in her dreams, her thoughts, her... everything. She had never been in love before and if this is what love feels like then Kikyo didn't want to be in love, but it was too late.

An image of Kagome rose up into her mind again and Kikyo groaned. Right now she wouldn't even mind if Naraku called. Kagome had a pretty smile on her face and her eyes were bright. Clenching her hands into fists Kikyo punched the thing nearest to her.

Unfortunately it happened to be a vase. The vase crumbled and Kikyo saw blood running down her knuckles. Kikyo stared closely as a plan formed inher head. Maybe she could get rid of that brat Kagome...

Smiling Kikyo stood up and began pacing. Small drops of blood dripped down to the carpet but Kikyo didn't noticed. She barely even felt the pain.

Kikyo went to sleep with a plan on her mind. Behind her the sun rose up.


Kagome opened her eyes and yawned. Looking around Kagome realized she was on her bed. Raising her eyebrows she tried to remember about yesterday night.

She and InuYasha got into the limo and she fell asleep. Smiling, Kagome realized that InuYasha must have carried her up to her room. Kagome jumped out of bed and looked at the nearby clock. It was nine o'clock.

Walking to the drawer Kagome rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a tank top and some shorts. It was summer, after all.

Once she was done dressing Kagome walked down the now familiar hallways, and came into he breakfast room. Smiling she saw Rin, Sango, InuYasha, Miroku, and...

Who was that guy? He looked kind of like InuYasha... In that moment Kagome resumed her smile again. It was probably Lord Sesshomaru. She literally hopped over to the table and sat down.

When Kagome sat down Rin looked up.

"Kagome!"

"Hey, Rin."

Rin looked at Kagome and motioned with her hands something. Kagome's brow furrowed as she tried to interpret it.

Rin was pointing to herself: I. She pointed out the window: Outside. And finally Rin made a waving motion towards Lord Sesshomaru and twisted her fingers into a question mark: Ask Lord Sesshomaru.

Kagome nearly burst out laughing. Rin wanted to go outside! Looking over at Lord Sesshomaru she noticed that he was smiling slightly. He looked at Rin and Rin smiled back hopefully.

"So you want to go outside Rin?"

Rin blushed sheepishly. Sango mercifully answered for Rin.

"It would be a good idea since they have never been anywhere. They could go to the park or..."

Lord Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed and something passed between him and Sango.

"She can go outside but I prefer that she stays close to the house."

Miroku's eyes suddenly sparkled pervertedly.

"We can all go out to the pool."

InuYasha, for the fist time, joined the conversation. He grunted.

"InuYasha, are you coming too?"

Another grunt. Kagome shook her head and ignored him.

"Rin, are you sure you want to go swimming?"

Rin nodded and she suddenly departed from the table. She's probably going to change. Kagome turned to Sango.

"Are you going?"

Sango nodded but then looked at Lord Sesshomaru. Sheepishly she asked, "Can I?"

Lord Sesshomaru gave a curt nod before standing up and left the room.

There was a short silence and then Kagome continued cheerfully. She turned to Miroku.

"Are you coming too?"

She didn't get an answer. Miroku was looking at Sango in a perverted way. Sighing Kagome leaned forward and gave his head a playful slap. She didn't want Sango knocking him out before they get anywhere.

Miroku looked up as if from a daze. "What?"

Shaking her head Kagome resumed conversation. "Where's the pool?"

"Behind the house."

"Is it big?"

InuYasha gave the first grin that day.

"You have no idea."


InuYasha stepped out of his room and looked at himself. He was wearing boxers that has normal black and red stripes. He was carrying a towel and suntan. He went next doors to Kagome's room and knocked. When nobody answered he opened the door anyways.

He smiled as he surveyed the room. It looked as if this room was occupied by a sister or something, not a nanny. He smiled again as he realized Kagome was already gone. Sango, Miroku, Rin, and Kagome had promised to meet each other at the pool at twelve.

Walking downstairs he started whistling and when he suddenly stepped outside he went over to Kagome and Rin who were putting suntan on each other.

Kagome looked up and saw him. She waved him over and he went along. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Miroku and Sango sitting next to each other on a beach chair. They looked happy, just sitting there and laughing.

When he reached Kagome he nearly choked. If he thought she was hot then, then she's feisty now. Kagome's wearing a bikini with purple and pink patterns. The bikini stuck to her in all the right places and her body was really curvy.

InuYasha blushed and turned away just in time so Kagome wouldn't see him. When he got his cool collectedand dared to look back at Kagome henoticed that Kagome was also blushing.

"Hey! You two! Come over here!"

Rin squealed and started running with her slippers on. With this hot temperature (it was at least 105) walking barefooton cement was not a good idea.

It took Rin about a minute to reach Sango and then Rin plopped into the chair too. InuYasha turned to Kagome and smiled.

"So, what do you think of this pool?"

Kagome grinned and she burst out laughing. "It's the biggest pool I've ever seen! It's probably as big as a football field."

InuYasha nodded. "It is."

Kagome giggled and stepped closer to InuYasha. At once, InuYasha's heart rate doubled and he started breathing quicker. She took another step and anotherwhile he backed away. There was a sexy look in her eyes and suddenly that looked turned into pure fun. She thrust her arms out and pushed him.

He felt himself falling backwards and with a swift movement he grabbed her hand. The last thing he saw before he hit the water was her face. It was surprised and filled with joy. Her eyes were sparkling and her mouth was opened in a slight 'O'.

Kagome screamed but quickly cut it off as he pulled her down deeper into the water. She looked like the goddess of the water with her hair spread out like that and her eyes wide.

With a quick tug of her hand she rose to the surface and left him there.


Rin looked at Kagome and InuYasha splashing water at each other. Rin turned to Sango.

"Sango, don't you think they make a cute couple?"

Sango turned away from talking to Miroku and looked at Rin.A big smile spread across he face.

"Yeah! Aren't they adorable?"

Rin raised her eyebrows and looked at Sango and Miroku.

Hm... you and Miroku would make a good couple too...

When Rin finished that thought she suddenly heard Sango in an outraged voice yell, "Pervert!"

Rin turned to stare at Sango. Her face was burning red and she had started running towards the nearest diving board. (There were at least five around the whole entire pool.) Sango dived into the pool without a sound and resurfaced seconds later.

Miroku turned to Rin and shook his head.

"Women."


Kagome finally held up her hands in defeat. InuYasha swam up to her and put his arms around her waist. Kagome tried very hard to think that they were just friends but she couldn't help it. She blushed.

InuYasha laughed and pulled her under water. She tried to squirm her way out of his grip but it was no use. Shegrinned used her final tactic and tickled him. His eyes filled with surprise as he let her go.

When Kagome hit the surface she breathed in a deep breath and swam quickly to Miroku and Rin. When she got there she climbed up. Kagome turned back to stick her tongue at InuYasha but found him looking at her strangely.

Rin tugged at Kagome's fingers.

"Lets swim!"

Miroku sighed as he watched Sango swim towards them.

"Miroku!" Kagome sighed exasperatedly. She could tell Miroku had tried to grope Sango and same old, same old.

Sango climbed up and sat next to Kagome.

"So what do you want to do now?"

Kagome propped her hands up on her knees and actually thought about it.

"Hm... do we have any bouncy balls?"

"Why?"

"Well, bouncy balls float and we can throw them into the pool. We can make a contest. Whoever gets the most bouncy balls win. You could steal bouncy balls, too. But you cannot steal them while they are on land."

Sango thought about this and so did Rin.

"I have fifteen bouncy balls."

Kagome looked at Rin.

"A pool that big with fifteen? Oh never mind, it's a stupid idea anyways."

However, Sango didn't think so. Sango had pulled out her cell phone and was calling the nearest toy store.

"Can I order fifty bouncy balls? Yup, put it on Lord Sesshomaru's tab. Thanks."

Sango closed the cell phone shut just as InuYasha sat down next to Miroku.

"Ladies and gentlemen the bouncy balls will be arriving in ten minutes."

"Bouncy what?"

Kagome shook her head as InuYasha looked at Sango cluelessly. Sango snickered as she explained the game to him. When she finished Sango leaned back on her hands and smiled.

"So are you in?"

"Whatever."

"Yes." Kagome raised her eyebrows. InuYasha and Miroku had answerd at the same time.

Sango shook her head and sighed irritably.

"No one asked you, Miroku."

There was a silence and Sango opened one eye.

"What? I was just kidding."

Miroku relaxed visibly and suddenly one of the maids came up carrying a huge sack.

InuYasha took it from her and began throwing the bouncy balls into the pool at different intervals. Kagome watched him and then turned to Rin.

"You can swim right?"

Rin raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, I live by a pool."

Kagome laughed.

InuYasha signaled to them from the other end of the pool.

Kagome smiled again. "Then, let the fun begin!"
