Disclaimer: We don't own it... we don't own it... (to the tune of "We Can Make It")
Thanks to The Black Moon, Cabbage Rose, crasiness, blackfphoenix, Sioned (Thanks for actually picking that up! I was afraid no one would notice it. xD), inu&kag4eva, Blackkat913, C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only, Samurai Fish, Ebony Princess, Darcia Plushie (Thanks for the little biography... D), HelikaAkileh, Stripe, PurplePosessedPixie and Automatic Flower for reviewing.
Note to C.A.M.E.O.1 and Only - (if you do read the author's notes), the real pairings will get their fluff soon enough. Part of reading a story is not to force the author into writing, but to read what they've written. We can decide what we should and shouldn't put it, and if you don't like it, feel free to not read.
General Note: Well, I'm not sure if we made it clear, but these people aren't teenagers. As a pre-story discussion/bouncing ideas off of one another, we decided (courtesy of Dark Lavender) that the story would have a much broader 'horizon' than if they were all teenagers. Or at least, a horizonwith a different view.

"Drive faster!"
"No! The speed limit is 120 km/h." Kagome stated firmly.
"But you're driving at 90!"
"No, that's 95."
Inuyasha let out an agonizing growl mixed with a frustrated groan.
That, mixed with a slap, is not a pretty sound.
"Having fun?" Sesshoumaru's voice called.
Inuyasha looked to his right to see Sesshoumaru's car, slowing down drastically to be parallel to Kagome's.
"What does it look like?" Inuyasha growled. Times like these, he wished that he and Sesshoumaru weren't moral enemies. Especially with Sesshoumaru's car in the way...
"Suits you fine, mutt." Kagura commented from the seat beside Sesshoumaru.
"I'd rather be here than with you, and your show-off… house-priced… 2005 convertible." Inuyasha grumbled.
"What was that?" Kouga yelled from the back seat. "This is great! How can you not want to be here?"
Kouga's good hearing usually kicks in at a bad time.
"Well, I bet this car can go faster than your show-room car anytime!" Inuyasha shouted across to Sesshoumaru's car.
"Inuyasha, I propose a race." Sesshoumaru smirked, and drove off.
The terms 'eat my dust' really applied.
---
"How much did this cost?" Kouga asked, bouncing up and down, once again, from the back seat.
"If you don't be careful, you will get blown away." Sesshoumaru warned.
"If you don't stop, I will personally kick you out." Kagura added.
Kouga considered his options: grope everything and get kicked out, or not enjoy this ride and stay in for 20 more minutes.
Kouga threw himself at the leather seats, rubbed his cheek against the seat belts, gasped at the handles and the lock, and shined the windows.
And minutes later, he found himself on the side of the highway.

"Drive faster! God, we're in a race, for speed, not slowness!" Inuyasha agonized.
"Inuyasha, sit yourself down, and tie on your seat belt. We are not going any faster. It is not my problem that you engaged yourself in a stupid race against your brother." Kagome ordered, keeping her eyes on the road.
"B-but, he'll win! And Kouga will win! And Kagura will win!" Inuyasha spluttered.
"So what?" Kagome shot back.
"So, I'll be embarrassed! God, Kagome, can't you understand my honor is at stake here?" Inuyasha said shrilly. He sighed. "Never mind, you girls won't understand. It's a guy thing."
Abruptly, the car stopped. Inuyasha, having ignored his seat-belt, pummeled right into the windshield.
Sango, from the back seat, stuck her face up front. "What do you mean girls won't understand? Kagome – drive."
Inuyasha groggily unstuck himself from the windshield. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he was forced face first back into his seat.
"What are you trying to do, kill me?" Inuyasha yelled, his voice muffled by the seat.
"Seat belts are important." Kagome said through gritted teeth as they flew forward at 140 km/h.
---
Kouga sighed. "I'll just wait for Kagome's car. Oh, here she comes now."
Suddenly, instead of stopping, Kagome's car nearly ran him over. It shot by, making an odd clunking noise as it went.
Kouga started to tear. "Oh, poor engine!" He sobbed.
After 10 minutes or so, Sango's old car came by. Kouga managed to chase it down after a few minutes and hitched in with Rin and Kohaku, oblivious of his interruption, and their purposeful ignoring of his endless chatter.

"They're picking up speed, I guess." Kagura looked at the GPS installed in the front, near the 6-CD player, DVD playerand the untouched minature nintendo system at the front.
"There is still plenty of time before they can catch up." Sesshoumaru took a quick glance at the GPS screen.
"How fast can this go?" Kagura challenged.
"How fast do you want to break your neck?" Sesshoumaru asked back.
Kagura raised an eyebrow. "Afraid?"
Sesshoumaru met Kagura's glance. He put on a pair of tainted, protective lenses, not taking his eyes off of her.
With the gas petal to the floor, the car shot forward.
---
"I think we're catching up to them!"
Inuyasha held up and adjusted two lenses from Kagome's old pair of glasses that he found in the glove compartment.
"Really?" Kagome perked up brightly.
"Yeah!" Inuyasha cheered. Sango and Miroku exchanged high fives in the back.
Suddenly, just as the Porsche came into proper view, it disappeared in a sudden gust of wind that even reached where they were.
"Oh…" Kagome looked crestfallen. She threw her hands up in defeat. "I give up."
"OI!" Inuyasha grabbed the steering wheel. "Watch the road!"
---
By the time Kagome's car arrived, Kagura already had a large wad-on-a-stick of cotton candy. Soon after, Rin and Kohaku's car also came.
Sesshoumaru straightened up his clothes. "About time, too." He commented. "Let's go."
"So, how fast did you go?" Inuyasha asked Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru looked positively vain. "Faster than you."

Author's Note:
Hahahaha… clunking noise… lmfao! Oh boy… it would seem funnier if it was animated. We hope we could just project the image directly into all your brains. Actually, we hope we did through writing. But eh…
Carnival. Ooooh, fun. Suggestions of what happens next? Desperately needed and earnestly hoped for. Well, until next chapter, which might not come in a while. (read our profile for more details.)
