A/N: Yes, the title is from the Nirvana song, "On a Plain". It has nothing to do with this chapter, the song is actually about getting high, I think XD. Anyways, great song, listen to it. Ah, yes, Nirvana was one of the greatest grunge bands of all time….

O.O …okay…

On A Plane

--

"Wha-What?" Kagome stuttered as she looked up to see the person that had just came up to her seat.

"You heard me," snorted Inuyasha, "I ain't gonna sit next to you this whole goddamn flight."

Kagome huffed. Her mind scolded her for not arranging the tickets earlier so that Sango could have sat next to her, instead of this insensitive…caveman. Kami was testing her, that was for sure…

"Look, it's not like I want to sit next to you for nine-and-a-half hours either, so here's a deal; you don't talk to me, I don't talk to you, and we'll be fine." Kagome glowered at the silver-haired boy before putting her book into her bag and looking out the airplane window.

Just twenty more minutes till takeoff…

Inuyasha scowled at the back of her head. "Don't think I have a problem, with that, bitch."

She whirled in her seat to face him, "Oh, and another thing, my name is Kagome, not 'bitch'," she informed him coolly.

"Whatever. I call bitches as I see 'em."

The raven-haired girl tried to resist the urge to punch his lights out, but it was becoming harder to restrain herself when the man in front of her was such a conceited, infuriating idiot.

Just ignore him, Kagome. She thought to herself, sighed heavily, and leaned on the back of the passenger seat's headrest, closing her eyes.

Five minutes later…

"Will you stop that?"

"Stop what?"

"Stop drumming your stupid nails on the armrest!"

"Keh, what if I don't, bitch?"

"You're such an ass!"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Well you're a pain in the ass!"

Another five minutes later…

"Now you stop it!"

"What, have you gotten a taste of your own medicine yet?"

"Hey, it's not half as annoying when I do it, wench!"

"What did you call me?"

Yet another five minutes later…

"Excuse me, sir?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Um…the other passengers on the plane are getting a bit irritated with your constant fighting with your spouse-"

"Oi, she's not my wife, dammit!"

Maybe one, maybe two hours later, when Kagome and Inuyasha finally grew weary…

"Zzz…baka."

"Zzz…bitch"

--------------------------------------------------

"Listen, you big son of a bitch, if you grope me one more time, I swear to Kami that I will dismember your arm and shove it down your throat!" Sango hissed into the dark-haired man's ear, leaning over the seat and dangerously close, holding his other arm in a death grip for emphasis.

Miroku gulped, removed his hand from her rear end, and used it to rub his once-again reddening cheek. "I'm sorry Sango," he bowed his head, "I'm just delighted at my incredible luck in sitting next to the most beautiful girl on this plane."

"I don't care. Just keep your hands to yourself." Sango glared at him, but couldn't stop the amazingly cute blush rising from her neck to her cheeks.

Mentally, Miroku chuckled. He was going to have a lot of fun on this flight.

--------------------------------------------------

"Whaddya' mean you don't serve Ramen?" A silver-haired boy yelled at a stewardess. "If there's one thing I want on this goddamned flight, it's Ramen!"

The stewardess fidgeted in her light blue skirt, uncomfortable yet annoyed at the stubborn passenger.

"I'm sorry sir, we don't keep Ramen in stock. We do, however, serve chicken-cordon-bleu, and-"

"I wouldn't give a damn if you served the queen of England on a plate!" Inuyasha shouted, "I want Ramen!"

Kagome rolled her eyes at her neighboring passenger's performance. He was downright behaving like a small child. It was Ramen, for heaven's sakes. Not some sort of gourmet meal. What was the big deal?

Fifteen minutes later, Inuyasha had made a very exhausted and quiteirritated stewardess promise to bring Ramen on their stop in Florida on the way to Hawaii.

"So, Kagome" Inuyasha said, using her name for the first time in the short while they had met, "why are you going to Hawaii?"

Kagome sighed, too tired to make a snappy comeback. "Well, my best friend and I got this letter in the mail that said that we had won a trip or something like that." She reached into her backpack and produced the letter in the worn envelope. "In fact, I have it right here."

Inuyasha took the letter from her and skimmed it over.

'To residents of Room 128,

Higurashi, Kagome, and Taiji, Sango,

Congratulations! You have won one of the two grand prizes in the 'Scratch n' Win a Trip to Hawaii' Sweepstakes for two! Enclosed is a check for the plane tickets, and reservations for your hotel.

We will send you more information once you get there!

Have a great summer!

Sincerely,

Bob Ewitt,

NaraCo. Inc.'

He looked up from the letter to her face. "Guess me n that lech next to your friend were the other winners in this competition."

Kagome tilted her head in question. "You mean you guys got the same letter?"

Inuyasha handed the letter back to her and leaned back on his seat. "Keh, isn't that what I just said? Now," he clicked on the TV on the seat in front of him, "don't talk anymore 'cause I'm gonna watch a movie."

Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes. "Like I would want to say anything else to an idiot like you," she muttered, taking out her book again.

At least we're not trying to hack each other into bits anymore…

--------------------------------------------------

"An exterminator for a while, huh?"

Sango sipped her coke and nodded. "My father was one, and he taught me almost everything he knew. He was still teaching me… when he died…" she got a faraway look in her eyes as she stared at the bubbles popping in the caramel-colored liquid.

Miroku frowned. "I'm sorry," he said quietly. "Did he get killed by demons?" (A/N: There are demons in this fanfic, but they're pretty rare, like there's some in the ocean, deep forest, caves, etc.)

Sango shook her head sadly. "No…it was something else…" Then she plastered a smile on her face and glanced at Miroku. "But let's not talk about depressing stuff. I can't wait for Hawaii."

Miroku grinned one of his trademark lecher grins. "Me neither, I can't wait to see all those hot babes wearing nothing but…"

Another smack silenced him.

"Do you have to grope me each time you talk about women?"

--------------------------------------------------

A brown-haired passenger turned around to see a beautiful raven-haired girl reading a book, sitting next to a menacing, but momentarily distracted, boy with silver tresses and golden eyes. Paying no heed to Inuyasha, he tapped the reading girl on the shoulder and held out his hand.

"Hello there. My name's Hojo"(A/N: Damn, what a nerdy greeting XD)

Kagome looked up and smiled at the man who diverted her attention from the romance scene her book.

"I'm Kagome. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand.

Inuyasha didn't notice the man until he was practically in Kagome's face. He inwardly growled. He didn't know why, but having another guy so close to her bothered him. It really bothered him. And now that the kid was so close he could've shoved himself up her nose…well, he was pissed.

"Oi. Whaddya' want, asshole?"

Kagome shot him a look. "Hey - he's talking to me, not you" she practically scolded him, and turned back to the man and continued her conversation with him. Hojo opened his mouth to speak, but he was suddenly grabbed by the throat and was being stared at by a very intense pair of golden eyes.

"I said, whaddya' want, asshole." he growled into the dark-haired, now very nervous, man's face.

Hojo tried to build up his confidence, which wasn't easy with someone (especially someone like Inuyasha) staring bloody murder at you, and coolly replied,

"I was just getting friendly with the beautiful lady sitting next to you." He realized he had made a mistake when the fingers grasping his windpipe instantly tightened their hold on it.

"If getting friendly is inhaling someone while you talk to them, then I'm a blue-necked giraffe." A rather annoyed Inuyasha sneered.

Hojo's face turned white, and without another glance at Kagome, he quickly turned around in his seat and became fascinated in an airplane safety magazine. Were those claws pricking his throat?

Inuyasha smirked confidently until he turned to look at Kagome's face. She wore an expression of horror mixed with rage. He would have found it amusing if it wasn't so intimidating.

"What?"

--

A/N: Hmm, Inu's real colors are starting to show? Lol and I just think of Hojo as a reeallllly big dork. Especially in the anime. Some of you guys must be all like, "wtf! Why is Inu already getting possessive?" well, think about it, after you being the center of attention for like three hours, you don't like that person you're, well, talking to talk to someone else…well that's how I am, neways XD. It could also be the…resemblance OO ….
