So please don't sue me 'cuz I have nothing more to offer than fifty cents and that little jar of pennies next to my bed!
And to MIROKUHOUSHI who reviewed and asked if I actually read all my reviews...yeah, I do because I LOVE hearing what the readers have to say and most of the time they say things to make my laugh so it cheers up my day...but every once in a while there's that flame that just screws up my whole day...but oh well, I get over it.

"Hello?" Inuyasha spoke into the small, silver, compact cell phone, setting his hair brush on the cherry wood vanity.
"Inuyasha..."
Inuyasha's eyes widened and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Ki-Kikyo?"
"We need to talk."
Sitting down on his bed, Inuyasha flipped off the television and focused his attention on the conversation, "What about?"
Kikyo laughed, "Don't sound so serious, it's not as if I'm pregnant or anything."
"We both know that's not possible, now what do you want?"
"Well, I, uh...I was just wondering if you'd like to attend my Christmas party this week...you know, maybe we can get together."
A few moments of silence passed between the two and Inuyasha contemplated his next choice of words, "Kikyo, I'm with Kagome now. I can't make it to your party. She's coming with my family and me on vacation. I'm sorry."
Kikyo's hopeful tone disappeared, "Oh...I-I'm sorry to hear that."
"I've got to go. Talk to you later, Kikyo."
"Inuyasha, wait. I-I'm sorry...about what happened between us."
Inuyasha thought for a moment then shook his head, "Yeah, me too."

Kagome flopped over on an unfamiliar yet very comfy, queen-sized bed. Her eyes scanned the television as she flipped through the channels. She sighed in boredom when she finally came to the conclusion that there wasn't anything on.
Flipping the television off, she flopped over on her back and stared at the ceiling, finding it hard to sleep with all of the excitement that was built up inside her. Kagome looked around the guest bedroom she was spending the night in. Everything was so orderly and expensive-looking, like one of those rooms that are only for show and not to ever be stepped in.
She glanced over at the small, black, digital alarm clock - 12:19. 'It's getting late. I'll never be able to wake up tomorrow morning' The sound of a door opening caught Kagome's attention and she once again turned over, facing the door as Inuyasha came in and plopped down on the bed beside her. Raising an eyebrow, Kagome placed her head on her the palm of her hand and stared at him, "Can't sleep I see."
"Feh." Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest and stared into space, eyebrows furrowed. Kagome furrowed her own eyebrows in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Kagome shook her head in annoyance and stood up, walking to the door and stopping in the doorway. "Whatever, do you mind if I go get a late night snack?"
Inuyasha shook his head, his eyes were still cloudy and staring into space and Kagome wondered if he had even heard her. Shrugging it off, she walked out of the room and down the hall, passing Inuyasha's open-doored room on the way. Making her way down the long staircase that led downstairs, she turned the corner into the kitchen and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw Sesshomaru standing there.
"Hi." Kagome smiled, taking a glass cup out of the dish dispenser and turning on the faucet.
Sesshomaru mumbled something under his breath and walked out of the kitchen, leaving Kagome staring at the door with a raised eyebrow, "Can you say social development classes?"
Kagome poured herself a glass of soda and grabbed a smores pop tart out of the freezer. Turning and leaving the kitchen, she stopped right outside of the door and thought for a moment, 'How do I get back upstairs?' Kagome shrugged and followed her instinct and, two pop tarts and a few annoyed grunts later, found the way back to her room.
She passed Inuyasha's bedroom on the way by and an annoying beeping sound caught her attention. Kagome glanced around to check if the coast was clear before walking into Inuyasha's room and making her way over to his desk where the sound was coming from. She stared down at his cell phone then picked it up, her eyes scanning over the front.
You have 1 new text message(s).
Kagome bit her lip then turned around. No sign of Inuyasha. Heh, what would it hurt to snoop just once? She flipped the cell phone open and hit the 'Read Message' button. A blue box filled the tiny screen;
Inuyasha,
Please think over what I said on the phone earlier…about getting together sometime. I really think we can work things out. Well, I'm running out of space. Seeya around.
Kikyo
Apparently it could hurt to snoop a little.
Kagome rolled her eyes and walked back to her room, tossing the cell phone on Inuyasha's lap, "I believe you have a message."
Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows and looked down, his eyes skimming through the message while Kagome made herself comfortable in bed. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and shook his head, "Kagome, I don't-"
"Listen Inuyasha, I'm really tired. What do you say we talk about this another time?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure." Inuyasha stood up and walked toward the exit, stopping in the doorway and turning around, "Goodnight Kagome."
Kagome reached over and switched off the lamp, "Goodnight Inuyasha."
Kagome's hand reached out from underneath her blanket and bopped around the wooden nightstand in search of the alarm clock. Suddenly, the door shot open and light poured into the room. Someone plopped down on the bed next to Kagome, who grumbled something and turned over.
"Kagome?"
"Perhaps it'd be best if we left her here."
Kagome heard a click and turned back over, opening her eyes and peering up at Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, who were already dressed. Her eyes shot open and she sat up straight, "What time is it!"
Inuyasha stood up and checked his watch, "It's around eight thirty and our plane leaves in about an two and a half hours...which means we leave in about...thirty minutes. This should give us just enough time to get parked, check our bags, get our tickets, and have breakfast before the plane leaves."
"What happened to my alarm?"
Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest, "You kept on hitting the 'snooze' button."
"And we attempted to wake you twice already but it was pointless." Sesshomaru said, turning toward the exit.
Kagome jumped out of bed and grabbed her pre-picked clothes off from the chair, turning toward Inuyasha and Sesshomaru and pushing them out the door, "Out, out, out. I got to get dressed!"
"Hmph, you should've been dressed an hour ago."
-
"Wait up!"
"Hurry up! If you hadn't taken so long getting dressed we would've been here on time!"
Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, and Ms. Higurashi made their way through the airport with Kagome chasing behind them. They had just barely made it to the terminal when they announced that their flight was to begin boarding.
Kagome felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket and she quickly answered it, "Hello?"
"Hi!" Sango's perky voice emanated from the small flip phone, "Where are you?"
"I'm at the airport, I can't talk for long."
Inuyasha 'hmph'ed, "You shouldn't be talking at all, we've gotta go."
Kagome heard Sango's voice lower, "Alright, let me just ask you this one thing. What happened between you and Inuyasha last night?"
Kagome's eyes widened and she barely held on to the cell phone, "Do I really look like that kind of girl to you!"
Everyone in the terminal turned around and stared blankly at Kagome, then turned angry glares to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, who walked away whistling, hands in pockets. Kagome looked around the terminal, smiling from ear to ear.
Kagome giggled to herself and shook her head, "Listen Sango, we're boarding so I'll talk to you when we get there. Bye." Kagome shut the cell phone and handed the ticket master her ticket, followed by Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and Ms. Higurashi.
They boarded the plane and quickly found their seats. Kagome sighed; slightly annoyed that she would have to spend the next twenty hours next to Inuyasha.
She managed to ignore his mindless nagging and complaining until the plane finally began its take-off run, when he made some stupid comment about the plane blowing up, which caused Kagome to twitch.
"Can you shut-up? Can you please just SHUT-UP?" Kagome yelled, and quickly regretted it. People in front of her turned around, the people across from her turned their heads to the side, and the people behind her stood up and looked over the seats. She grinned and rolled her eyes, turning her gaze out the window as the airplane tilted up off from the ground and began its flight.
Inuyasha shrugged it off and began to fiddle with the one of the small pins the stewardess was handing out. When he finally got fed up with trying to figure out how to get it open, he threw it over his shoulder, gaining an annoyed mumble from the person behind him. Inuyasha looked out the window, "So that's what we look like to God."
Kagome rolled her eyes, still mildly upset about the previous night's events, "Yeah, sure, whatever."
That was it. Inuyasha had finally gotten fed up with Kagome's mood swing and did all but yell, "What is your problem? We're on our way to America. A-MER-I-CA! And all you can do is act like you just found out bad news. Like your mom got into an accident or your brother died or..."
"...or that my boyfriend's cheating on me. Hm, hasn't happened yet but it can't be too far off considering he's getting text messages from his EX girlfriend."
At that moment, everything clicked for Inuyasha. It was like everything had fallen into place for him.
Kagome rolled her eyes and turned back to stare out the window, 'God he could be so clueless sometimes.'
Inuyasha turned toward Kagome, "I didn't -"
"Spare me, Inuyasha." Kagome interrupted, putting up her hand, "I don't need your excuses. I'm not worried about it and I can't control you. So can we please just drop the subject and have a nice vacation?"
Inuyasha continued to stare at her for a few moments then nodded his head slowly and mumbled, "Whatever."
-
Kagome flopped backwards onto a freshly made hotel bed. It was so relaxing to finally be able to stretch and lay down on a comfortable bed after almost a full two days of traveling and sitting.
Looking over toward Inuyasha's mother, whom she was sharing a room with, Kagome smiled, gaining a smile in return.
The silence in the room was a bit too much for Kagome, so she was relieved when Inuyasha burst in the room, though Kagome wasn't quite ready for what she was about to be faced with.
"Hey Kagome, I'm goin' down to the pool. You comin'?"
Kagome sat up straight and turned to look at Inuyasha. There stood Inuyasha, wearing only swim trunks and a towel around his neck. She barely kept her jaw from dropping in awe. She had watched a lot of guys on TV and seen a lot of male models in magazines but never before had she seen such perfection. Never before in her life had she seen such a flawless and well-chiseled stomach. Kagome reluctantly pulled her eyes away from his chest, cheesing, "I uh...uh...I uh...yeah...I-I-I...I'll...just let me get uhh...get uh... uhm..."
Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow, "...changed?"
Kagome smiled and reluctantly pulled her eyes away from his chest again. "Changed! Yeah, just, uhm, let me go get changed." Kagome walked over to her suit case, took out her bathing suit, and began walking toward the bathroom, staring at Inuyasha the entire time and completely oblivious to how much of an idiot she was making out of herself.
Inuyasha took a step forward, noticing something Kagome was obviously too wrapped up to notice, "Kagome, watch out for the wall..."
:Thud:
Kagome walked straight into the wall and fell backwards onto the floor, scratching furiously at her head in an attempt to rub the pain away.
Inuyasha's mother put a hand up to cover her mouth and laughed silently as Kagome stood up with a huge, cheesy smile and ran into the bathroom.
It wasn't long before Kagome came back out with a two piece bikini on, and now it was Inuyasha's turn to ball.
He had also seen his share of swimsuit models and movies but Kagome had a way of walking with grace, even in a bikini. Her perfect petite body blew him away. Never before had he met a girl that had both an enchanting personality and a body that could make his mind wander to things that Miroku probably thought about on a daily basis.
"Are you coming?" Kagome cocked an eyebrow and walked out the door, followed by Inuyasha who was still in a bit of awe.
The pool was huge, literally, with a tiny island in the middle large enough to fit colored status of Donald Duck, Jiminy Cricket, and some dude with a sombrero. Kagome and Inuyasha set their stuff down on the first available lounge chair they could find, which they were lucky to find due to the fact that the whole pool area was crowded with other kids and adults who were residing there.
Kagome walked over to the stairs and took each step one by one into what she thought was the freezing cold water while Inuyasha took the simple way and just jumped right in.
Swimming up to a shivering Kagome, Inuyasha laughed, "You might as well just jump right in before I help out there."
"I'd like to see you try." Kagome smirked.
"Oh really?" Inuyasha laughed, ducking under the water, swimming beneath Kagome and lifting her up, then allowing her to slide off his back and fall into the water. The entire time, people around them stared as Kagome screamed bloody murder.
They spent the rest of the day swimming, dunking, and splashing each other until one finally gave up. Of course taking breaks in between to stop by the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat or to hang out in the arcade or gift shop for a while.
Inuyasha looked up at the night sky and, for the first time in a while, realized just how dark it was getting.
"Come on Kagome, it's getting late!" Inuyasha yelled, wrapping a towel around his shoulders.
Kagome rolled her eyes, "Okay Inuyasha." she said with a disappointed tone, swimming to the stairs.
Inuyasha watched in awe as Kagome climbed the stairs of the pool. It was every guys dream to see a hott, soaking wet girl in a bikini and his was finally coming true...until some over excited kids playing tag ran by and knocked him back into the pool.
When Inuyasha resurfaced, Kagome was bent over laughing. He blew a wet strand of hair from his eyes and mumbled to himself, "This is going to be a long vacation."

Phew. That was quite a chapter to write, huh? Finally. More of a filler than anything though. Anyway, I am so very, very sorry that took so long, my computer is still broken and...yeah...so we're getting a new one.
First off, gotta say thanks to Inuyasha's Princess17 and silentmiko212 because without them, I wouldn't be where I am now because I'd have so many mistakes you wouldn't understand a thing I write.
Okay, you're probably wondering why I didn't just make them go to the Disney World in Japan. Okay, there is only one reason I can think of at the moment and that's that I've been to the Disney in Florida about fifty thousand times before and I'll probably just base the whole vacation on my own experiences since I know every ride and every street like I know the back of my hand...wow...that sounded so cliché.
But anyway, see ya'll lata! Feel free to IM me at any time with any questions, comments, or boredom...or at least when we get our new comp sometime soon.
Later Days and thanks for all of your support.
