ARE WE THERE YET?

Kagome quietly looked around the car at her friends.

Sango was now in the back seat with Miroku… she had been the last to the car so she was in the back. She had complained and threatened Miroku but now she's sitting there quietly, looking out the window or reading the book she had brought along and occasionally singing or humming to the music that was playing.

Miroku was once again slouched in his seat with his eyes closed. He might just be deep in thought or possibly asleep since he hadn't really moved for a while or tried to feel Sango up since they had gotten back in the car. There was the slight possibility that he was just being good and keeping his hands to himself…

Kagome then turned her gaze to Inuyasha; he seemed to be deep in thought as he drove the car. With a sigh Kagome looked out her window but her gaze was drawn back to him. From the corner of her eye she studied him he was one of the cutest guys she knew. With his silver-white hair down to his butt, golden eyes, cute puppy ears and strong well toned body he was definitely drool worthy. It was only his usual mysterious and stay away attitude that steered the girls away.

She had known Inuyasha for about ten years, since they were kids, and longer than Sango or Miroku. They had known each other since primary school when he moved to the town, and she could still remember what had happened for them to become friends so long ago…

There had been a new boy at school, his colouring was striking against most of the other students had dark hair and eyes and she had thought his little ears were so cute, but she was too shy to even talk too him. She had been staring at him from the corner of her eye now and then throughout the day but she didn't go near him. Instead she played and talked with her friends; after all he had so many other people talking to him that he didn't need her as well. The bell rang telling the students it was the end of the day. She waved goodbye to her friends as she packed up her stuff and grabbed her backpack and started to walk home, the shrine wasn't too far away from the school.

Kagome bit her lip lightly when she saw the guys that were lounging on the wall near the path she needed to use. They were a couple of years older and they had a habit of picking on her. Kagome wasn't sure if she was glad her little brother was sick today so she didn't have to walk with him or be disappointed that she was without her only slight protection. For some reason they didn't pick on her brother, only her and sometimes they refrained from picking on her when he was there. She wasn't sure why since her brother Souta was heaps younger than her, but there was no point in thinking about it, she couldn't change anything, so she took a breath and quickened her pace, hoping she could get past them quickly… perhaps without them noticing.

Kagome pulled up short they stepped in front of her, holding her backpack tightly on her shoulder she tried to step around them but they moved with her. Faint tears prickled her eyes but she blinked them away, they only thought it was funny when she cried and she wasn't going to give them the satisfaction. Once again she tried to walk around them and one of the boys grabbed her roughly, she yelped in surprise as another grabbed her backpack and pushed her to the ground. She winced when her knees hit the cement and the tears welled up once again, she didn't know what she did to deserve this… but she never told her mother what happened. It would only worry her and she would tell the principal and then the boys would only pick on her more for tattling on them.

A crystal tear made its way down her cheek before she quickly dashed it away; she looked down at her skinned knees and stood up slowly, wincing slightly. She looked at the boys that were grinning and holding her backpack and wondered how she was going to get it back when she saw a flash of silver out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head but she couldn't see it anymore, she decided it was her imagination and looked back at the boys. A look of surprise covered her face when she saw the fight that had broken out before her. She watched in amazement as the fight progressed, one boy against five. It ended with two of the boys with bloody noses and the rest with bloody scratches and gashes before they ran off leaving her backpack behind.

Kagome looked at her saviour to find it was the new boy from school… Inuyasha. Hesitantly she walked over and picked up her backpack and another couple of tears ran down her face and after a moment of hesitation she threw herself in his arms and hugged him, her saviour. For a minute he just stood there then he wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried. He whispered softly that he would protect her.

And he did. He protected her and they became close friends. True enough they'd had fights and problems through out the years over almost anything and everything. Including when the girls had realised how cute he was and started taking an interest in him, especially when Inuyasha had been going out with Kikyo.

Kikyo had come into their lives around the same time as Sango and Miroku when they all began high school. She and Sango quickly became close friends… and she was glad to have some female company since her other girlfriends had gone to a different high school than she had. Inuyasha and Miroku too became quick friends… though it was a surprise since Inuyasha didn't have any friends other than Kagome. He was abrupt and kind of rude to everyone else, warning them to keep their distance. All four of them had begun to hang out together though still having separate girl and guy time.

It wasn't until three years ago when they were in year nine that Kikyo really pushed her way into their lives, when she and Inuyasha started dating. Kikyo had been the biggest pain in the neck, she still wasn't sure how Kikyo had managed to get past Inuyasha's people barriers, but she did. Kikyo was as sweet as anything while Inuyasha was around but as soon as he was gone she was the bitch from hell. Kikyo managed to get Inuyasha so wrapped around her finger that Inuyasha wouldn't listen to what she said about Kikyo, to any of her warnings to him that he was going to get hurt. No she got in trouble for picking on Kikyo and a rift emerged in their relationship and it only got bigger until they weren't even talking. She had spent a lot of that time crying and trying to forget about him, Sango was a great help and even Miroku was on their side, he didn't like her either and that's saying something for him since he usually loves all girls.

Eventually Inuyasha learnt the truth the hard way, when he found Kikyo and Naraku kissing and half undressed in her bedroom one afternoon when he went to visit her. He had been heart broken and soon she and Inuyasha made up and now here they were… happy as always. Except for the fact she had recently begun to think of him in more friendly terms…

After a while of reminiscing she noticed that her eyes kept drifting shut. "Okay I'm tired now," Kagome said with a yawn and started trying to get comfortable in the seat. "I'm going to have a nap," she told no one in particular. After a few minutes of getting comfortable her breathing evened out and she was asleep.

Inuyasha looked across at the girl that had managed to snuggle slightly into his shoulder in her sleep with soft golden eyes before he turned his gaze once more to the road.

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

Four hours later they reached the beach resort with no more problems or fights. Though that could be because they hadn't tried to play anymore games since the truth or dare disaster. They had decided to rent a four bedroom beach house instead of two separate two bedroom houses, it was cheaper and it meant that they could spend more time with one another. Even if they had got two houses it was more likely it would have been a waste, they would have spent almost all their time in one of them and almost none in the other… if they ended spending much time at the house in the first place.

Inuyasha was driving once again, while Kagome was looking at the area map and trying to help him to find their way to the beach resort. They found their way there with very little trouble, only the occasional wrong turn. Once they got to the parking area he parked the little red.

"We found it!" Kagome said grinning widely, she was so excited and she couldn't wait to see the beach house!

"Hmm?" Sango murmured as she woke up from her nap, she rubbed her eyes. "We're here?"

"Yep," Kagome said as she unbuckled her seat belt and after she grabbed her handbag got out of the car. "I will be right back." And with that she walked over to the office.

'Hmm…' Kagome thought as she walked into the office, it was quite pretty done in blues that reminded her of the sea. 'I wonder if the rest of this resort is as pretty?' Coming out of her thoughts she went up to the racks of broachers and after looking through them she grabbed a couple that looked interesting, they needed some places to go after all. Then she walked over to the desk where the receptionist was sitting, and told her who she was and about their reservations. The receptionist looked up their reservation in the computer system and after she found it and had checked her identification and took their deposit, she gave Kagome the keys and a map of the resort. Kagome thanked the woman and walked back to the car.

After ten minutes of driving and a few wrong turns they found their way to the beach house number 253. They pulled into the drive and got out of the car and took in the house and garden. The girls were more impressed than the guys, who were now taking the luggage out of the car. The girls on the other hand were left breathless. The garden was what they noticed first, it was well tended and a beautiful vibrant green with tall trees here and there that put patches of shade over the lawn. Including the cream and black table set that sat under one of the larger trees to the right of the building, and there were flowers here and there, all types and colours.

The girls then took in the beach house. It too was beautiful, the two story beach house was cement rendered and done in cream and black matching the table set in the garden. It looked impressive and regal in its spot. The girls then walked back to the car and took their luggage out of the trunk and excitedly walked to the front door. Opening it the girls sighed once again in amazement at the beautiful house that was before them. They walked in and placed their luggage down in the hall and started to tour around the house.

They walked into the kitchen it was bright and cheerful, the walls pale yellow, while all the appliances you could want and benches were black.

They then walked into the lounge room and it was huge with a huge TV, Stereo, DVD/VCR player and movies and music of every genre. The soft lounge, arm chairs, drapes and the soft rug on the floor were all burgundy, though the walls were a light cream.

The dining room's colouring was also in burgundy and cream though the table and chairs were a light golden wood with burgundy cushions.

The library was beautiful, it had a pale wooden floor and walls, stained a light golden brown, which was only interrupted with splashes of greens and blues on the rugs and the paintings that adorn the room. There were shelves of books and four desks, two of which had computers which they assumed also were connected to the internet.

The bathroom and laundry were in cream and black.

Hurriedly the girls raced up to the second story of the house, laughing as the guys followed them grinning at their over enthusiasm. The girls open the balcony door and walk out, there was another set of table and chairs out there and it overlooked the white sand and sapphire blue sea that was the back yard. They walked back in and raced to the bedrooms.

All four of them were about the same size, each with built-in wardrobes, queen size beds, a bookshelf and a bedside table. The differences were in the colour schemes; one was in shades of red, one in shades of aquamarine, one in shades of violet and the last in shades of rose.

"I bags the aquamarine!" Kagome called as she jumped on the bed, though after a moment she walked down to get her luggage.

"I bags the rose!" Sango called as she also walked down to grab her bags. The guys were already on their way up with their luggage. The two guys just smile and walk into the remaining rooms silently choosing their rooms. After all Inuyasha loves red and Miroku loves violet so there was no trouble or fights over rooms.

A/N: Hi there people, just so you know Kagome, Sango, Miroku and Inuyasha are in year 12, last year of school. So they are on holidays, when they come back they have to study and take their final exams in the next couple months. So they are taking their wonderful holiday now before all the stress.

I know that the school systems are different everywhere. I don't know what you call your high school years so I'm going by Australian (NSW). Where you go to preschool, then you start primary school which is Kindergarten til year 6, then you go to high school which is year 7 til year 12 and then you graduate. From there you go to college, UNI or TAFE… or employment.

Also I suck at descriptions of houses and stuff so I hope I did ok.

Okay everyone out there, you know the drill. Press the nice little button on the bottom left hand side and review! Tell me what you think! Helpful criticism is welcomed, flames are not though! Lol, they make me cry.
