Summer Lovin'

Disclaimer: no. I do not own Inuyasha. Yes. I wish I did.

Well I realized last night after typing chp. 1 that I wasn't even sure if Japan even had summer camps…. do they? Even if they did, I doubt they will bear any resemblance to Camp Kampeki. So sorry if you've actually been to a Japanese summer camp and this offends you. This fanfic is based off my personal experience at camp and as a camp counselor.

That might explain why it's so crazy.

I also realized that I forgot to have everyone clap for my friends. So please really clap. It makes them feel good.

yay for chia! the best person to go to if your parental controls block mp3 downloads!

Yay for illista! She is the first person you should go to for any sci-fi info or a good dose of sarcasm!

Yay for ducky! whose obsession with the beatles and cheerful (if occasionally too cheerful) personality make her great!

And finally, yay for Xiao-chan! My band upperclassman and flute unity day buddy!

and now that you have clapped for them, clap some more! On with Chapter 2!

Chapter 2.

"Curse you Inuyasha!" Sango's face was beet red with anger.

Not that it mattered, however. It was too dark in the compartment to distinguish anything except for blunt shapes. And that was after their eyes had adjusted to the lack of light.

"We've been in this metal hell hole forever! That pervert over there has felt me up 15 times!"

There was a loud smack, and then a groan of pain.

"Make that 16!"

It was true. The three of them had been inside of the moving giant for at least 2 hours. And with nothing to do, Miroku seemed to need entertainment at the cost of having his face be swollen from general slapping.

"It's not my fault, Sango!" Miroku had used this line enough times for it to almost be an involuntary response whenever he received a red handprint on his cheek.

Inuyasha groaned. Normally, it was all he could take to be with these two out in the open, when he could just pleasantly walk away and go to talk with Kagome.

But now they were in very confined spaces. So confined that there wasn't any room to move around more than an inch. And as for head space, all three of them had their necks bent considerably to avoid bumping their head on the metal ceiling.

Inuyasha was not normally a complainer, but he felt that this was a good opportunity for some.

"It can't be much longer until this thing stops! My legs are falling asleep, and if Miroku gets hit anymore, he'll be unconscious! Dammit, I want out! I WANT –"

He stopped mid-sentence when the door was flung open by the same fat man who had scared them into hiding in the first place.

"Well what do we have here? Stowaways I see!" His voice was annoying and stupid sounding. The fact that he was shouting for the world to hear didn't help.

Inuyasha cursed the bad timing. If this idiot sees us now, we're screwed. My ears are still showing! Digging his claws into one of the boxes, he felt around, grabbed a random article of clothing and stuck it over his head.

The fat man's eyes widened. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing!"

---- On the bus ----

Kagome was relaxed. the bus ride had been very pleasant; No major stalls or traffic. The girl sitting next to her, Kaori, seemed nice enough, and they had a good time chatting about random things in their lives. In fact, Kagome had actually been mildly dissapointed when the bus came to a stop after passing the huge Camp Kampeki sign.

But now she was just relaxing, waiting for their driver and camp director, Mr. Hoji, to tell the counselors to get their bags.

She was just about to fall asleep when there was a loud shout from behind the bus.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing!"

It was clearly Mr. Hoji, and he didn't sound happy at all. Maybe there was some trouble unloading the bags?

Kagome shrugged and leaned back in her chair. Whatever had happened, it had nothing to do with her.

"What do you mean 'what the hell am I doing'?"

Kagome gasped.

Oh no. It can't be. There is no way that he is possibly here! I'm hallucinating!

At least she thought she was until she looked out the window to see Inuyasha with a pair of very girly underwear on his head.

"No way…." Kagome closed her eyes and mentally screamed.

Kaori blinked at her worriedly. "Is something wrong, Kagome? Do you know that guy or something?"

Kagome nodded hesitantly. " You have no idea how much I didn't." Groaning, she got up and started to get off the bus, only to hear more arguing between Mr. Hoji and Inuyasha.

" You hooligan! How dare you walk around with… with undergarments on your head like that?"

Inuyasha blinked, then pulled the cloth off of his head. "What this thing? How is this an undergarment? It wouldn't do much good, would it?"

Kagome put her head in her hands. This isn't happening!

The fat man gasped. "You! You have…. dog ears!" He paused a moment, the reached out and petted them. "Hmm. Now I know what you people are!" He pointed to Sango and Miroku.

Not them, too! Just how did they get here? Kagome moaned. This was getting worse by the second.

Mr. Hoji threw his hands up in the air. "You're traveling actors! How wonderful!"

Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow. " What? we're not act-"

"Oh! Mr. Hoji! I see you've met my friends!" Kagome rushed over and embraced all three of them in a big hug. " I can't believe you guys are here!" she said, faking glee.

The man's eye's widened. " Oh, Kagome. Do you know these people?"

Kagome laughed loudly. "Know them? Know them! They're my best friends! We, uh, did some drama together back in middle school!"

Inuyasha was now utterly confused. " What's middle school?"

"Oh hah! Inuyasha!" She nudged him hard in the ribs, getting a loud "oof" in return. " Inuyasha always played the idiot. I guess he became one with the character a little too much, eh Sango?" Come on Sango, take the hint! Kagome silently begged of her friend.

Sango thought a minute. She knew what drama was. And she knew Kagome was trying to cover up for them. She could do this. " Oh yeah! I was, the uh, brave demon slayer!"

Relief swept over Kagome. Thank you, thank you, thank you God! I will never commit another wrong in my life, just let Miroku figure it out.

"And I was the wandering monk!" Miroku bowed low and silently prayed that this was what Kagome had planned.

Yes! Halleluiah!

Mr. Hoji scratched his head. "Well, since their friends of yours, and we're short on counselors anyway, how about they stay and help out with the kids?"

Kagome nodded her grattitude. "That would be wonderful! Thank you, Mr. Hoji!"

"One more thing! How about you guys put on a performance for us at the end of the week! That gives you 6 days to prepare! I'm sure it will be a show to remember, and the kids will love it!" Mr. Hoji was grinning from ear to ear.

Kagome's expression fell a little bit. " Oh… well, uh, sure! we can do that! Right guys?" She nudged Inuyasha in the ribs again, and he quickly answered, "Oh, yeah. We'll do… uh…. that thing!"

The man jumped with glee. "Wonderful! I expect a good plot!"

"We'll do our best!" Kagome mentally screamed. How the hell were they going to put on a play before the end of the week!

"Okay then, I guess we should get everyone out of the bus!" He trotted back up to the bus, and grabbed the megaphone. "Attention camp counselors! Welcome to Camp Kampeki! Please grab your belongings and place them under the big oak tree. After that, meet us under the pavillion to register and learn the rules of camp! Cabin assignments will be given out then! Thank you, and see you in a few minutes!"

Kagome heaved a sigh of relief. "Come on then! Help me grab this thing and move it over there!" She pointed a finger at her trunk and shoved Inuyasha and Miroku towards it.

Inuyasha blinked. "Hey! Why the hell do I have to-"

"INUYASHA……."

Uh oh. He knew that face. It was not the "Inuyasha-let-me-give-you-a-warm-and-cozy-hug face". Ohhhh no. This was definitely the "Shut up-now-or-I'll-plow-your-face-into-the-ground face".

And Inuyasha did not like that face.

"Feh. Nevermind." He waved a hand at Miroku and the two guys lifted the heavy trunk and moved it over to where all the other various luggage was.

Kagome nodded her thanks, and then started off toward the giant pavillion at the center of the camp. "Alright. You guys have some explaining to do! Why the heck are you here!"

Sango reaccounted the entire story, and Kagome patiently listened. When she was sure Sango was done, she merely rolled her eyes and sighed. Such is my life…

Sitting down on the floor (there were no chairs provided), Kaori, the girl from the bus came over. "Hey, Kagome! Who are these guys?"

"Oh, Hi Kaori! This is Sango, the one with the ears is Inuyasha, and the one dressed like a monk is Miroku. They have been my friends for some time."

The bubbly girl smiled excitedly. "It's very nice to meet you all!"

Miroku was swiftly in front of her. " Excuse me miss, but I have seldom seen a woman as beautiful as yourself and I was just wondering if you would bear my child?"

Kaori blinked, then turned a bright shade of red. "Well, er, um…… No. Sorry."

-SMACK!-

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU PERVERT!" Sango had already slapped him. "Kaori, wasn't it? You don't need to listen to a thing this pervert says. And don't worry about hurting him. He's used to the pain by now."

She merely giggled. "Uh…. Ok!"

Kagome sighed. " Sango and Miroku have a bit of a…. shall we say, love-hate relationship."

"WE DO NOT!" the two of them responded at the exact same time.

"attention, counselors!"

Mr. Hoji was waiting quietly on the stage for everyone to settle down. After it was silent, he began to speak.

" Welcome to Camp Kampeki. I am very glad to have all of you here today! Hopefully this week will be one of the best memories you'll have. At least that's our goal, anyway.

"Now, even though we do want you and the campers to have fun, there are some rules you must inhere to. The basics are in the handbook that you will be given along with your cabin assignments. Please read it tonight, and try to remember it. We want everyone to have a good time, but we don't want anyone hurt. "

"Another thing about cabin assignments; they are FINAL." He emphasied this word, as if he knew that it would come up again.

"Unless you have a medical reason for not being able to stay in a room with that person, deal with it. "

there was a large, unanimous moan.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry. Anyways, since this will be your only night alone with each other as a group of counselors, the staff and I have set up a little pool party for you. There will be food and music, so after you're finished unpacking, head down to the pool for some fun! Now, if you will kindly direct yourselves to the tables on either side of me, the staff members there will hand out cabin assignments."

The entire group stood up, and split to go to the two tables.

There weren't all that many counselors; maybe 20-25. Not a bad number, Kagome thought to herself as she looked around. All sorts of interesting people filed in line for their registration. One guy in particular caught her eye, and she really wished he hadn't.

Hojo.

Luckily, he hadn't noticed her. But this couldn't bode well. Inuyasha was bound to see him at some point during the 7 days…

"Miss …. MISS!"

Kagome looked down at the annoyed staff in front of her. "Oh yes, I'm sorry."

The lady rolled her eyes. " Yeah, sure. Name?" She looked over forty, and she had a little bit of a strange odor around her.

"Kagome Higurashi"

"And how many times have you been to Camp Kampeki?"

"Three."

Kagome swore she heard the lady mutter, " You poor, pitiful soul."

"Alright. You're in cabin 13 with a Sango and Kaori…"

Kaori shrieked in joy from behind her. "That's wonderful! We're all in the same room!"

Kaogme laughed sheepishly. "Eheh…. Yeah!" She wasn't this crazy on the bus… What the heck is she smoking !

It was Inuyasha's turn up at the table. And this time the lady paid a little more attention.

"Nam- WHOOO BOY! Look at YOU! Hey honey, what's your name?"

Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow. " It's Inuyasha. "

The lady fluttered her eyelashes. "Dog Demon, huh? You sure could be MY demon any day! Grrowllll!"

Kagome's eye's widened. WHAT did she just say?

Now he was scared. "Uh yeah….."

"My name's Patricia…. I work here," she said, leaning heavily onto the table and speaking in a sultry voice.

Dammit lady, hurry up! "Great…. so who am I with?"

Patricia sighed. " Well it says here you're with a Miroku and a Hoho in cabin 20"

He blinked. "Hoho?"

"Oh wait, the name is smudged. It's Hojo."

"WHAT?"

She nodded. "Yup. But you know…" she grabbed his hand and squeezed it. " You could always be in MY cabin…."

Inuyasha shook his head furiously. "Uh no, that's ok….I'll live…."

He quickly ran over to Kagome.

"Kaogme?"

She sighed. "What?"

"I don't think I'm going to like this….. 'camp' thing."
