Tangled

Monday came quickly, but all it held was confusion for the two of them. A trip had been planned for their biology class to study some of the life growing along the ocean side. It was planned out to be boring, but a few of them had plans of their own. The whole class fit on one bus, each of them piling into seats of two. It was first come, first serve, and plenty were scrambling on to get to the back seats. Inuyasha already claimed one with Miroku, and Kouga sat across in the other back seat.
"Ayame!" Kouga yelled as he saw the auburn beauty get on the bus. "Back here!"
A sly grin came across her face as she slid past most of the students and sat next to Kouga. Now, she wasn't the type to get along easily with the male population, but this man was the one she had her mind set on. After all, he was a musician.
"Hi Kouga," She said in a low voice, letting his arm drape loosely around her figure. And with that, he leaned in and kissed her, just to see her reaction. But as soon as he pulled away, she leaned forward for more.
"What a man-whore." Inuyasha scoffed as he turned away from the couple getting a little heated in the back.
"Just cause he's getting some and you aren't, doesn't mean that he's a man-whore." Miroku chuckled; embracing himself for the snapping comeback that was in store. But it didn't come, for his attention was off somewhere else.
He wasn't sure if she noticed him yet, but he watched as she took her seat in front of Kouga and his toy for the day, followed by her other half—Sango. Though it didn't take long for her attention to be drawn to his intense gaze. She stared back at him, as if trying to send him a mental message. But he didn't get it, even as the bus started moving.
Now that school was back in, were they going to be different around each other? He was unsure of how she felt towards him. Hell, he knew that he was crazy about her—even when he was with Kikyou. But it seemed that she was unaware of this. But the way she looked at him, it seemed as if she was debating on something. No one knew of what went on over the weekend. No one but the two of them.
"Inuyasha? Are you okay?" His sight was obscured when a hand made its way in front of his eyes, attempting to get his attention. He lowered his eyes to his companion, breaking the gaze the two of them had achieved.
"What do you want?" He growled, sounding inhuman.
"You just…zoned out."
"It's not like you don't do it." He grumbled before he crossed his arms across his chest in a childlike manner, turning to pout out the window.
"Settle down students! We will arrive at the shore in time, just be patient! Try to keep the noise level to a minimum." The teacher said, his voice barely reaching the middle of the mass of teenagers. He readjusted his glasses before taking a seat at the front.
When the bus pulled up into the beach parking lot, the students practically flew out of their seats. The teacher was the last one out, and didn't even have time to count who was and wasn't there. Practically half of the class had disappeared, but the teacher remained naïve and continued on with the rest of the group, starting his long speech about marine plants and such.
As the teacher walked to one side of the beach, where it was more covered in green than sand, the rebel students sped off the opposite way, ready to jump into the ocean. Sango and Kagome fell onto the warm beach, laughing hysterically.
"Two and a half hours of nothing but the beach—I am complete!" Sango cried before bursting out into laughter once again. Many of the students gave the two women odd looks; all of them missing two of their companions leave the group to a more secluded spot.
"Sango, my dear, would you care to take a dip with me?" Miroku said in his deep voice, glancing out at the glistening water with excited eyes. Sango peered over at her friend who looked to burst any second into a fit of giggles.
"Go on, have some fun." She whispered, urging her friend on.
"Okay," she said loudly, accepting his hand so she could get up. Almost as soon as she was standing, the man shed his shirt, revealing a well-toned torso. Sango had to use all her discipline to not drool at his carefully chiseled body.
"Are you going to be swimming in your clothes?" He asked, pleased with the outcome of his action. She blushed deeply before sliding out of her pants and shirt, throwing them with his discarded shirt.
"You look lovely my dear, black is truly your shade." He complimented, holding out his hand for her to take. She blushed once again before taking his hand, allowing herself to be led into the chilly waters.
Kagome got up, wiping the large clods of sand that had attached themselves to her clothes. She sighed as she watched the sun fully rise into the sky, oblivious to the teens as they all ran into the water to join the party. But she did notice a tug at her shirt. She turned around to see the retreating back of the man that made her head spin. She gave Sango one last look, seeing her smile brightly at the man she was with. Then she was off to find out what the tug was all about.
She walked a little down the beach, more to the cliffs that jutted out to act as a cavern. And all she ever saw was the tails of his hair disappearing behind a corner to lead her anywhere. But soon, she no longer saw the end of his hair.
"Inuyasha?" She called out; hoping that he hadn't gotten her lost on purpose. "Inuyasha, this isn't funny." But all she heard were the faint cries of her classmates.
She turned another corner, hoping to see him smirking at her, but still she saw nothing. She continued down, until suddenly she was pulled right off her feet. She could barely count for anything until she was pinned against the cavern wall, staring into mischievous amber eyes. Inuyasha.
"You twit! I almo—" but not another syllable left her mouth when his lips collided with her own. She contemplating pushing him away, but he was gently nibbling on her lower lip so tenderly, that she completely forgot about anything.
He seemed to have gotten his desired effect, because she made no move to shove him away. He pulled back, looking smugly at a slightly dazed Kagome. "Now isn't this more fun than sitting on some dumb beach?" he asked.
"I—hey!" She said, suddenly pushing him away. "What are you doing?"
"I don't know, what can we do?"
"You're so…" She fumed.
"I'm so what?" He asked, his pride growing. "Handsome? Cunning? Brilliant?"
"Don't flatter yourself."
"I'll just leave that to you." She stared hard at him for a moment, as if she was trying to read him.
"I don't get you at all!"
"Please elaborate my dear," he said as his coy smirk danced across his lips.
"One minute, you're in my bed, the next, we're acting like nothing happened!" She said, wishing she could start pacing. But she was still trapped between the cliff and his body.
"It's confusing." He said rather hesitantly.
"No, you're confusing. If you just want some ass, then I hear Kikyou is giving out helpings." She said, crossing her arms across her chest.
"No, I-I don't want Kikyou!" He said, almost exasperated.
"Then there's always Ayame. Kouga will be done with her within a day."
"No—"
"Maybe if you ask nicely, there's Yura…"
"Never—"
"And a little scary, but there's Kagura—"
"I don't want anyone but you!"
She stopped rambling on at his outburst.
"Why else would I waste my time falling over my own two feet to get to you?" He asked, throwing his hands in the air. "You're not like any other girl that I've known! You're…you're…"
"Kagome?" She offered.
"Yes," He smiled, "that's exactly why."
Everyone regrouped, and the teacher paid no attention that anyone was missing. Or most of the class for that matter. Once again, everyone filed onto the bus, most taking their usual seats. As Miroku sat down next to Inuyasha, Kagome turned to sit next to Sango, a look of hopelessness on her face.
"Oi, get the fuck out lecher!" Inuyasha said as he kicked Miroku from the seat. Kagome looked over at him, and he pointed to the now empty place beside him. She took the open seat, a small smile on her face.
"You know Miroku," Inuyasha said as he draped an arm around Kagome. "Sango could use some company."
"Now that you mention it…" he said as he took a seat next to her, obviously content about the sudden seating arrangements. Soon after the bus began moving again, Ayame had fallen asleep against Kouga, already worn out from their 'beach activities'.
"So, you two hooked up?" He said, interrupting the small conversation the two were having.
"Yeah," Inuyasha nearly growled, pulling her closer. "What's it to you?"
"Nothing, just making a comment."
"Well mind your own business…" He said, not feeling too warm towards his band mate.
"Inuyasha, just leave it…" Kagome said, not looking in Kouga's direction at all. He looked down at her, seeing an almost pained expression on his face. He knew what it was from. But he gave her a reassuring smile and gave her a short kiss.
There's that shit chapter. I'm tired and sore. And my eyebrow hurts. So if you like it, good. If you don't, good.
Bye.
