Chapter 2: School's out!

In a school called Shikon High, a girl named Kagome sat at her desk, pondering over a math equation when she looked up at the clock. And 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Bing bing bing! The bell screeched at the students. Kagome quickly gathered her things and dashed out of her dreaded algebra class. It was a Friday afternoon, and it was the last day of school, she didn't want to waste it dawdling around.

"So, Kags, are we on for this weekend?" Yura asked, one of Kagome's 4 friends.

"Oh, sorry guys, I have to go to camp this summer, my mom's orders." She replied. She hated doing this, even more than she hated doing math.

"Come on, what do moms know anyway?" said Eri. "You can come with us to the beach, it won't matter to the camp."

"Sorry guys, but my mom would kill me if I did that."

"We're sorry Kagome. We didn't mean to pester you," Ayumi added, "But we haven't hung out in forever!"

"I know, I know! Look, I'm really sorry you guys, but I have to. Believe me, if I had a choice, then I'd go with you in a second, and … whoops! I have to go, see ya!" Kagome yelled as she ran off.

Once at her house, Kagome decided to go and pack. She made sure she had the bare minimum because she knew that she was going to have to lug her suitcase around the camp.

After her black suitcase was stuffed to its max capacity, she called her very best friend, Sango. Who was also forced by her mom to go to camp. Their moms had known each other since high school and were best friends too, which worked out well sometimes, like going on vacation together. But when this kind of thing happened, it sucked big time. At least neither of them had to bear it alone, they knew that their mothers would get them a room together.

"Hi, Kags" Sango answered the phone.

"Hey! How did you know it was me?" Kagome replied, confused. "I'm psychic." Kagome could almost see the smirk on Sango's face.

"Sure, Sango, and I'm a witch." She replied.

"Really? How come you never told me?" Sango said, sarcastically.

"And I thought you were psychic?" Kagome said.

"Ha ha, very funny. Ok, I confess, we got caller ID yesterday. Can you believe that the first chance we get to relax, we have to go to some stupid camp?"

"Yeah I know. Well, since there is absolutely no way we are getting out of this, we have to look on the bright side,"

"And what is that?" questioned Sango.

"That we don't have to go through this alone, and the chance of meeting some cute guys." said Kagome dreamily.

"I think that the chance of meeting cute guys our age is almost impossible."

"You could only hope." replied Kagome.

"I've got to go Kags, but I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Bye," Kagome said.

"Bye." said Sango.

Once she herd the dial tone, Kagome hung up.

She looked around the kitchen, and grabbed some potato chips off the top of the fridge. Then she took the snack into her room, plopped down onto the cold, black leather couch, fished for the T.V remote between the cushions. Once she found it, Kagome switched the T.V on and began some afternoon channel surfing.

Kagome guessed that it about 6:30 when she started watching T.V in her room, and sooner or later she fell asleep. But she woke at 7:45 am. 7:45 am that's good I only slept an hour, she sighed relived. Wait, 7:45 am! Oh, shoot I'm supposed to be at the bus station at 8:15!

And before she even knew it, she was ready in 3 minutes. She bolted downstairs where she saw mother preparing breakfast.

"Mom! Why didn't you wake me up!" Kagome practically screamed.

"Sorry, honey I thought you set your alarm. Here's a piece of toast, and we're leaving in five minutes."

"It's a good thing I packed, or I really would have been screwed." Kagome mumbled, taking a bite of her toast.

/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

"Bye sweetie," Kagome's mom said.

"Bye Mom," Kagome replied.

Kagome shut the car door, then she proceeded to make her way towards the bus station, all the while searching for Sango. The station itself was fairly run down, having been built in the 1970's. Most of the metal in the station was mildly rusted and the plastic covering the bus schedule so scratched up that you could hardly see through it any more. As soon as she found the bus that was going to take her to camp, she felt a pair of hands cover eyes.

"Hmmm… I wonder who this could be? It can't be my best psyche friend now could it?" Kagome joked.

"You guessed it. I sure hope that the camp doesn't stink as much as the bus."

"I know what you mean, I was wondering what that smell was. PU!" Kagome held her nose for added effect.

Then a man Kagome could only assume to be the bus driver, stepped forward. He was wearing a light black parka over a rustic orange T-shirt, that looked as if it seen a few world wars, just like the man who wore it.

"Ok, all the kids who are going to camp, come over here." he yelled. Once he saw that a crowd had formed his scratchy voice barked, "Now, put all your luggage by the bus and make sure you do your business before you get on the bus, because we are not making any pit stops and we have a long way to go. We leave in 10." When he finished, he clobbered the bus and waited.

"We should do what he says, it would suck to have to go on that bus." Kagome said. Sango nodded. After the two shoved their luggage into the bus, they set off to find the bathroom. Once they boarded the creaky old bus, both girls started chatting about how boring the camp would be, and how lumpy their seats were.

After the driver said some emergency procedures, he started the gigantic automobile and they were off.

It took about 3 hours to get to the camp, and another 20 minutes just to get off the bus, because some counselor decided it was the time to discuss the rules of the camp.

When they finally did get off the bus, the girls stretched and groaned. It had been a long trip. They had tried to get some sleep, but then some person started the "100 cans of soda on the wall" and had the whole bus singing it. Singing, Kagome thought, more like dying birds singing their last serenade. There was no sleeping through that.

After they had gotten over their car stupor, they grabbed their suitcases, and started towards their assigned room. As Kagome walked toward it, she saw it was adjacent to another cabin.

"Wonder who's next to us?" asked Kagome.

"Don't know, let's put our stuff down and find out."

Sango had the key, so she opened the door and they saw that they had a room to themselves. They both got their own double bed and dresser with a matching nightstand. There was only one bathroom, but they got their own kitchen.

"Man, when our moms said that we share a room, they meant to say one story house." said an awed Sango.

"Dibs on the bed next to the window," said Kagome, as she flopped down on the said bed.

"I don't mind, but I hate to be there if a bear attacked, or after the ghost stories." Sango replied as she mimicked Kagome's actions.

"First of all I don't get scared at those G-rated ghost stories, and second I highly doubt a bear will attack--"

"ROARRRR!" Both girls jumped about 5 feet high and screamed at the top of their lungs.

Then someone jumped against the window. The person who had scared the girls was rolling on the ground with tears in his violet eyes from laughing so hard.

The girls ran outside and straight to the offender, whose laughing had not subsided.

"What the hell was that for!" Sango yelled.

"Yeah and I don't see what's so funny about scaring us to death!" screeched Kagome.

"The … look on… your faces… was ...priceless!" he said between breathes. After he said that, he broke into another bout of laughter.

"Mi…Miroku?" Sango questioned. The man in question tilted his head in her direction. He had black hair, that was pulled into a small ponytail at the base of his neck.

"Yes, Sango?" he answered. His laughter finally ended.

"It's you? Really?" she asked.

"Yes, my lovely Sango," he walked over to her and pulled into an embrace. She put her arms around him in response.

"It's been so long, how many years has it been?" she said

"I think about four." He replied. He started to rub her back, and he was getting lower and lower until…

WHACK

"You henti! You haven't changed a bit!" she shouted.

(I think we all know what happened…)

"And I can see you have… or at least your slap has gotten harder." said Miroku rubbing his sore cheek.

"I hate to break up what looks like a tender moment between you two, but who is he?" Kagome sweatdropped.

"Oh, this is Miroku, Kagome. He went to my old elementary school. I moved just after 8th grade. Right about when he discovered how wonderful the female body is." Sango answered.

Miroku then walked over to Kagome and took her hands in his.

"Kagome, your beauty is breathe taking, and for that reason I have to ask you something," he said.

"Yes?" asked the now blushing girl.

Then he asked her his most famous and perverted question ever.

"Will you bare my child?" he asked.

This earned him a slap that was harder than Sango's, which ultimately knocked him out.

"Jeez, is he always like that?" asked Kagome.

"Worse." said a figure coming from the door of the other cabin. This earned him the attention of both girls. He had short, dark brown hair, with the deepest green eyes Kagome had ever seen.

"If it wasn't for me, I think he do it more often, but it still surprises me that he hasn't been to jail." He said.

"And you are?" Kagome questioned.

"Inuyasha, and is that your cabin?" he pointed in the direction of their "mini-house".

"Yeah, so is he rooming with you?" Sango asked.

"Sadly, yes. I think he's waking up." Inuyasha stated.
