Summer Lovin'

Disclaimer: Alright, well I am now challenging myself to come up w/ new and exciting ways to state that I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! sheesh.

If you've haven't read my last fic, "Sketches", go and read it now.

Good. Now that all of you have read it, know that it doesn't pertain to this story line at all. I just want more reviews. (I'm so sneaky….)

So here you are, my first new fic, "Summer Lovin"!

Chapter 1

Kagome stood up and brushed the dirt off of her skirt. "Well, I guess that's about it. I'm gonna head back home to my time now."

"What! You just got here!" Inuyasha grabbed hold of her wrist and refused to let go.

She sighed and simply glared at the hanyou. He either had no sense of time or he really was an idiot. "Inuyasha, I've been here for over a month! I need to go home! It's summer and I have plans! In fact, I suppose you need to know that I'll be gone for a week."

This time the whole group stood up. " A WEEK!"

"Kagome, what are we going to do without you here for a WHOLE WEEK!" Shippo cried as he scampered into Kagome's arms.

Miroku nodded. " It does seem like a rather long time for you to be away. What exactly are you going to do in your time for a 7 days?"

She blushed. "Er, um, it's none of your business what I do! All you need to know is that I'll be gone for a week. I think you can survive without me until then. I left you all the supplies that you need, and even threw in a few goodies. You'll be fine!" Kagome looked down at her feet. Oh crap. If Inuyasha finds out what I'm doing, there's no way he'll let me leave. I mean, there are going to be other guys there! Including Hojo!

Suddenly, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. " It's alright, Kagome. Go ahead and go. Whatever you are doing, it's your business not ours." Sango smiled. Kagome had already explained to her in private what she was going to be doing, and Sango agreed with her decision not to tell Inuyasha. Even though it was perfectly harmless, the he probably wouldn't see it that way and go off onto a rampage.

Kagome nodded her appreciation. "Thanks, Sango." She bent down to pick up her bag and slung it over her shoulder. " Today is Monday, right? So I'll be back next Monday. Promise. Just stay out of trouble until then, okay?"

She walked out of the hut, leaving the three boys behind her stunned.

Later that day, In Kagome's time----

One month. It had been one month since she had been back to this house. Her bed looked as comfy as ever, and Kagome couldn't help but plop down on it before packing.

"Ohhhhhh, I don't want to get up!" Kagome knew being a counselor at Camp Kampeki was going to be loads of fun; she had been a camper last year and she had a blast.

"But….."

But 7 days with a herd of scampering little children didn't seem quite as appealing as it had last summer when she had signed up.

"Kagome! You have to hurry and pack! The bus will be here soon!"

Seriously, she thought to herself. Do I ever get a break?

Grudgingly lifting herself off of the cushioning of her mattress, she sat up straight and moaned. "Alright, alright, I'm packing now…"

Normal people don't have this problem, She thought to herself angrily. They pack weeks before camp, so if they forget anything, they can just throw it in. But they aren't out trying to put a stupid pink rock back together! And they don't have to sleep out in the open with a half demon, a pervert, a fox boy, and a demon slayer.

Kagome blinked, and then rethought what had just went through her mind.

Normal people don't have the privilege of enjoying that stuff either…. I guess I really am grateful for meeting all of them and living this life…. But that still doesn't make packing the day of camp any less of a pain!

Throwing her stack of clothes into a trunk and making sure she had all of the necessary hygine stuff (toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shampoo), she ran to get all of the feminine necessities; hairbrush, eyeliner, blush, foundation, eye shadow, powder, lipstick, lip gloss, tweezers, a bottle of Noxema, fingernail polish, ponytail holders, a different shade of eye shadow, and a nice outfit just incase they had a dance.

She sat on top of her trunk, looking rather satisfied. She had packed in less than 30 minutes, and she had time left over to go get some lunch before the bus got there.

Some omelet sounded good…

In the Feudal Era…----

"What the hell did she run off like that for! A whole week of doing nothing but sitting on our butts!"

Inuyasha was mad.

Very mad, actually.

"And you! Sango! why did you let her go like that! 'Whatever you are doing, it's your business not ours.' What kind of crap is that!" He took a step towards her, but Miroku defensively stepped between them.

"Sango is right. We have to remember that Kagome has a life outside of our time, and we need to respect that." He shot Inuyasha a glare, and the hanyou stepped back.

"Whatever! Screw this! I'm going to go get that wench and bring her back to our time right now!" He darted out of the room and headed straight towards the well.

Sango blinked.

And then she realized what could happen if Inuyasha went back to Kagome's time.

"Oh CRAP! Miroku, we have to stop Inuyasha from going back to Kagome's time! BAD things will happen if he finds out where she's going! And I mean BAD!"

Miroku stared at her, bewildered. "Why? Where exactly is she going?"

Sango rubbed her forehead. "Let's just say that Hojo is going to be there… along with lots of other guys."

Miroku groaned. " Oh no…. not Hojo."

The entire group had heard stories about the infamous Hojo. He sounded nice enough, but according to Kagome, once Inuyasha had found out that Hojo was trying to date her, the half demon had flown into a rage and scared Hojo half to death.

Things hadn't been on the best of terms between the two ever since. In fact, whenever Kagome even mentioned the name "Hojo" in casual conversation , Inuyasha would tend to growl loudly and mutter, " Who, that pansy boy?".

Miroku immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. If Inuyasha found out that Kagome was spending seven days with Hojo…. along with other guys…..

He'd be sent into the biggest jealous and possessive fit the world has ever known.

Grabbing his staff, he motioned to Sango. "Let's go! there isn't much time!"

Sango nodded. "Right! Let's go Kirara!"

In the forest----

Just who does that girl think she is? I can't believe she left on such short notice! And for a whole week!

He dodged a tree branch and jumped over a rather large rock. He had run the path to the well so many times that he really didn't need to think about how to get there. All he had to do was run, which left his mind open for the occasional rant.

I know she's been with us in our time for a while, but to leave for a whole week? That's crazy! Couldn't she just have left for a day to recuperate? And where is this place she's going? She was so secretive about it…. I wonder where she is going to be?

He was snapped out of his thoughts by a loud shout.

"INUYASHA! STOP!"

He turned around to find Miroku and Sango riding on Kirara.

Slowing his pace just a little, he glared at them. "What the hell do you mean 'stop!'?" I'm going to go get Kagome!"

Kirara was quickly catching up to him. "You can't go get her!" Sango shouted. " She's, uh, sleeping! Yeah, she's sleeping! And I'm sure she doesn't want to be woken up!"

Now Inuyasha was confused. " What the…. How do you know she's sleeping?"

Miroku decided it was his turn. "She contacted me through telepathy! She said that if you came to get her she would be verrrrrry angry!"

They were in front of the well now, and Inuyasha looked miffed. "Kagome isn't a telepath! What in seven hells are you talking about?" He sighed, then waved his hand. " Never mind, I don't want to know. Either way, I'm going to get Kagome now, end of story!"

He jumped high and into the well.

Both Miroku and Sango panicked. "WAIT! INUYASHA YOU CAN'T!"

They latched on to his arms and fell down into the well with him.

In Kagome's Time----

Kagome was a happy soul.

"Food! Real food! not some skimpy meal of grilled fish on a stick! but an actual lunch!" She leaned back in her chair and sighed. "Thank god for the conveniences of modern day living!"

Her trunk had been dragged down the stairs, all the paperwork was filled out, and her stomach was full. She was ready to be a counselor.

"Kagome, sweetie, the bus is here!"

She sighed. Time to go, I guess. "Coming mom!"

And she walked out the door, prepared for anything Camp Kampeki could throw at her.

…. Maybe.

In the Well House ---

"Miroku you pervert!"

Sango swiftly smacked him across the face. "Your hands need to be tied behind your back, you perverted monk!"

Miroku sighed. " I couldn't help myself! You were right there! It wasn't my fault if your curvaceous figure was just waiting for me to-"

"PERVERT!"

That earned him another smack.

"Will you guys shut up?" A cocky voice came from in front of them.

"Inuyasha? You're here?" Sango was confused. If Inuyasha was there with them, then that mean that…

"Uh, yeah. Welcome to Kagome's time," he spat out, not sounding at all pleased that they had come along for the ride. Who would be? They had practically ripped his arms out of their sockets on the way down.

Miroku blinked. "But how? We've never been able to come to her time before…"

The hanyou shrugged and stared at the ceiling. "Probably because you came with me. So let's go get her already! We haven't got all day!"

He clamored out the door and the two of them followed, only to be frightened to death by a giant piece of metal on big wheels. They didn't look wooden, and the whole object most certainly was not a cart. So what exactly was the monstrosity? It was making the most horrendous whirring noise, and the air around them smelled atrocious.

"Inuyasha, what is that thing?" Sango stammered out, trying her best to conceal her fear.

Much to her displeasure, he merely shrugged. " Hell, I don't know. Maybe Kagome's on it." He ran forward, but then realized he had nothing to cover his ears with. He stopped in his tracks.

Humans did not react well in his era to demons. and for some reason, he didn't expect them to feel better about them in Kagome's time. Just as he was about to warn Miroku and Sango, a rather fat man stepped out of the giant machine.

Inuyasha swore under his breath

They had to hide. And they had to hide now.

Looking around, he noticed a big hole in the giant metal thing. It had a bunch of boxes in it, but looked and smelled relatively safe. Motioning to the two behind him, he darted carefully across the yard and into the hole, ducking safely behind a few boxes. Miroku and Sango followed.

"What the heck are you doing? I don't want to be in this… thing!" Sango gulped. the floor beneath her feet was cold and vibrating at a high rate.

"Shhhhhh! We can't be seen! If they see us, who knows what'll happen!" Inuyasha gestured to his ears, and then pointed to their clothing. "People in this time don't wear stuff like this! Even an idiot would be bound to think something is up!" He pointed to the opening through which they had crawled in. "When I say 'three', we'll go out the way we came and find Kagome."

Miroku and Sango nodded.

" Ready? One….. Two….. THREE!"

They made a dash for the opening, only to have it slammed shut in front of their eyes.

Inuyasha pounded on the metal door. "what the hell…." He punched a few more times. " Dammit! It's no use. We're stuck in here."

Sango's eyes widened. "We're WHAT!"

Miroku blinked as his eyes adjusted to the darkness. "no need to panic. someone will find us here. It's not like this monstrosity can-"

There was a jolt and the three felt themselves going forward.

Miroku smacked his head. "-move."

They all sat in horror as they felt themselves moving farther and farther away…

They were on their way to Camp Kampeki.
