From Hatred To Love
Chapter 14- Heading Back Home.
It was the last day of their stay in the Bahamas. No more beaches, no more sand. They would hardly have any fun and the worst part of all, school. When school would start back there would be loads of projects and homework to do.
Those were the same thoughts going through the four friends minds. They were all sitting on a bench near the beach, looking at everyone having fun. The four looked all around them, knowing that they would miss everything.
"I wish we weren't going back," Sango said.
"Yeah," Miroku added. "Here has really hot girls"
Everyone glared at him with caused his perverted smile to disappear. Miroku didn't know why they were all looking at him as if the was sick.
"At least we'll be seeing less of Kikyou!" Inuyasha said. Kagome looked at Inuyasha as if he was crazy.
"Inuyasha, she's in all of your classes," Kagome which caused the hanyou to frown. He hated her so much. Kikyou was the daughter of a very rich man. He gave her whatever she wanted which spoiled the girl a lot. She made her father put her in all of Inuyasha's classes.
"Look on the bright side, we'll get to see our families again and our teachers," Miroku began.
"And we'll get homework and projects and chores. Did I mention Homework?" Sango asked and propped her face on her hands. "Oh yeah that sounds really exciting!" she said sarcastically. "I can't wait to get home."
"Me too!" came a high-pitched voice that the group really didn't want to hear right now. It was obviously Kikyou. Dawn was standing next to her with a smile.
Kikyou was wearing a skimpy looking, two-piece bathing suit. Dawn was dressed more modestly. Kikyou smiled at them. Sango and Miroku rolled their eyes, Kagome sighed and Inuyasha was emitting a dangerous growl.
She walked closer to the group and squeezed herself between Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome glared at the girl and scooted away from her. Inuyasha turned his head the opposite direction from the evil miko. Dawn simply stood in front of Miroku, trying to get his attention.
"What do you two want?" Sango asked in a dark voice. Kikyou glared daggers at the girl and leaned back on the chair.
"Is it so surprising that we both came to have a constructive conversation with you four?" Dawn asked and put her hands on her hips.
"Yes!" the four replied causing Kikyou to frown and Dawn to fold her arms. Sango was pushed aside when Dawn sat between Her and Miroku. Sango tried her best to control her raging temper.
"What do you want?" Miroku asked with little patience in his voice. Dawn flung her long hair, which hit Sango in the face. Kikyou stood up and Dawn followed. The two put on the sweetest, most innocent smiles that they could muster but it didn't fool the group one bit.
"I was thinking," Kikyou began. "We've all known each other for a long time."
"Cut the crap!" Inuyasha said rudely. Kikyou shook her head and continued.
" So impatient Inu sweetie," she said making Inuyasha hate her even more. "As I was saying. I was thinking that we could be friends. We've known each other since middle school! We should all give it a try!"
The group burst out laughing. The thought was so funny to them. Kikyou and Dawn their friends. Sango was having hard time breathing. She could never be friends with them. Including Dawn who always treated her badly when Miroku and her were all alone.
Kagome thought that it she would laugh any louder her wounds would start to hurt her even worse. It was already giving off some pain.
Miroku couldn't help it. He fell on the floor and laughed even harder. He kicked his hands and legs up in the air but one hand was on his stomach, trying to control his breathing.
The group's joke was cut short when a bright light surrounded Kikyou. Her eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. Dawn had to back away or else she would have been burned.
"What's so funny?" Kikyou asked. "Here I am trying to start over and all you all are doing is laughing." Kikyou began to cry, wiping her eyes as the blue light faded from around her. (A/N; Kikyou has been a little emotional because of the Sango's threat.)
The miko was interrupted by an angry voice. "We can't be friends with you Kikyou!" Inuyasha said.
"Why not?" she asked. The tears were miraculously gone!
"Because," Sango added. "You tried to kill Kagome!"
"You cheated on me with Naraku!" Inuyasha said. Kikyou felt herself being ganged up on.
"You got me drunk!" Kagome added.
"Those are only just a few reasons why we can't be your friends," Miroku said and got up from the ground. "You're not even a friend to Dawn."
Kikyou's face turned flaming red. Dawn looked at them with a confused look on her face. She didn't understand what Miroku meant. Kikyou and her were friends. Best friends… or was it all a lie?
"Don't listen to him Dawn!" Kikyou hissed and glared at Miroku. She noticed the look of sadness in the girl's eyes. "Let's go!" She pulled the girl away from the group leaving them all alone.
Kagome was sitting, curled up on the couch, reading a book. That was the only thing she could do without hurting herself. Most of the time she was bored, just sitting there do nothing but reading a book. Sango and Miroku would often come to visit her but would have to leave because they both had plans.
Inuyasha usually stayed inside with her although Kagome never knew why. There were arguments all the time between the two but they somehow always managed to work it out. Kagome was beginning to like Inuyasha more and more. She was seeing past the rude, arrogant behavior that he had and saw a really good person and friend.
Inuyasha entered the room gaining Kagome's attention. Without saying a word, he sat down and switched on the television. Kagome cleared her throat, which caused him to look at her.
"What?" he asked. Kagome glared at him before speaking.
"Do you mind? Here I was reading a book and then you just come in here and turn on the television! Don't you have any respect for anyone?' Kagome said sternly. Inuyasha yawn and spread his arms on the chair.
"I had nothing to do so I wanted to see what's on! Is that such a crime?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome put down her book and looked him strait in the face!
"You could have at least said excuse me or something! I can't read with all this noise!" Kagome said and kept her voice low.
"Then go somewhere else!" Inuyasha suggested and spread his arms out.
"But I was here first!" Kagome said as her voice level rose. Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow and frowned.
"So?"
Kagome immediately stood up and put her hands on her hips. She didn't want to lose her temper but Inuyasha was making her harder by the second.
"You rude, jerk!" Kagome yelled and her hand flew into the direction of his face but Inuyasha hand anticipated this move and caught her hand before it hit his face.
Kagome snatched her hand away and walked off to her room. Inuyasha blinked and then remembered what he was supposed to tell her.
"Kagome!" he said which caused the girl to turn around. "Mr. Louse said we're leaving tomorrow morning at six you'd better be ready by that time!"
Kagome turned back around, muttered a whatever and slammed the door when she got into her room. Inuyasha covered his sensitive ears. If she kept on slamming the door everyday, he'd soon be deaf.
Dawn had a lot on her mind. Just what did Miroku mean? Kikyou was a good friend to her wasn't she? Dawn shook the thoughts out of her head. Kikyou was the one who had got ton her popular. Dawn was just the new girl who was always picked on before Kikyou came in but a part of her was telling her something different.
It was because of Kikyou that Dawn mostly got in trouble. Every time the miko had a scheme that had gone wrong, Dawn would always have to cover for her. The girl couldn't even make suggestions without Kikyou getting angry with her.
'What should I do?' Dawn thought and walked out of her bedroom. ' Am I a friend to her or just an apprentice in all her schemes?'
Dawn was about to sit on the couch when she saw Sango in her place. Her confusion turned into anger. What was Sango doing here, in her hotel? Had Miroku invited her?
Dawn made sure her hair looked good before walking over to the exterminator. Sango didn't seem to acknowledge her presence and sat silently on the chair with her hands folded on her lap. She was fiddling with a loose strand of hair with an unreadable expression on her face.
Dawn cleared her throat to gain Sango's attention. Sango looked up at her with confused eyes. Not knowing why Dawn was giving her a death glare.
"What are you doing here?" Dawn asked rather calmly but inside her head she was having images of her strangling Sango to death. Sango tucked the loose strand behind her ear before replying.
"Miroku invited me," she said. Dawn looked at the girl suspiciously and flung her hair to the side, which almost hit Sango in the face.
"Why?" Dawn asked.
"We're going swimming," Sango said. "Miroku just wanted to get some stuff from his hotel room."
Dawn continued to stare at Sango. Even the girl's presence made her blood boil. "Couldn't you have waited outside?" Dawn said rudely.
"Miroku invited me in," Sango said, getting a bit annoyed by the girl's continuous questions. "I said that before."
"It's the last day of spring break, shouldn't you be packing?" Dawn asked, as she looked Sango up and down.
"I packed already," Sango said in an annoyed voice.
"Why are you going with him? I'm sure he has better things to do than go swimming with you." Dawn said as Sango curled her hands into fists.
"Because Miroku-sama is my friend. Go and hangout with Kikyou or something and leave me alone!" Sango demanded. Dawn's face turned dark. Her face began to turn pink with anger.
"Look," Dawn began. "Here's the deal! I don't want you around with Miroku. Hangout with anyone else but him! He likes me, not you! He's my target and you're not going to get in the way of me getting him so-"
Dawn was cut off immediately but Sango's dark glare. She stood up and opened her mouth to yell.
"Just because Miroku likes me more than you doesn't me that you have to have a cow about it! He isn't even your friend but he's MY friend and that means I can hangout with him whenever I want! So leave me alone about it! It's my business and not yours!" Sango yelled. She was about to say something else but stopped when she saw Miroku standing behind Dawn with a smirk on his face. Sango pushed Dawn aside and walked out the door with Miroku.
Dawn was fuming by that time. Sango wasn't about to steal her man away from her. Not now, not ever. Miroku was going to be hers. Dawn would have liked to ask Kikyou for help but knew that the miko would have no interest in her problem.
' Is Kikyou really my friend?' Dawn asked herself as her mood became depressed once more. She'll have to find out for herself.
Miroku was wearing a smirk the whole way to the beach. Sango kept staring at him wondering what his thoughts were.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Sango finally asked.
"I didn't know that you felt so strongly towards me. So you do like me after all?' Miroku said the grin on his face grew even wider when Sango looked away from him.
Sango folded her arms and spoke. "Dawn was getting me annoyed. I didn't have anything else to say than that you were my friend."
"So you really do like me?" Miroku asked. Sango cheeks turned pink and she didn't respond. Miroku's grin grew into a large smile. "You do!"
"Miroku-sama," Sango began. "Just be quiet."
Mr. Louse stood in front of the school body at the airport. He was trying his best to keep order and make sure that every student was accounted for. "Is everyone here, packed and ready to go?" he shouted earning a loud yes from the students. He nodded his head rapidly before speaking again. "Okay then were now about ready to get on the plane so would everyone in an orderly-" He never got to finish because everyone rushed through the doors, all heading for the plane.
Sango shook an again sleeping Kagome. They had arrived back in Japan and most of the students were already off the plane.
"Wake up Kagome!" Sango said. The miko simply turned her back towards her friend and continued sleeping. "Do you love to sleep on planes?"
Sango gave an annoyed sigh and continued to shake her friend. Nothing had worked she had pretended to be attacked by Kikyou three times and Kagome didn't move one bit.
Inuyasha passed by and saw Sango trying her best to wake up Kagome. He nudged Miroku and the two walked in the direction of the two girls.
"Need help?" Inuyasha asked. Sango nodded.
"I've tried everything she won't even open her eyes a little."
"For you Sango I will wake Kagome up from her sleep!" Miroku said. The stepped forward as his hands motioned towards Kagome butt. Sango saw this and before Miroku could blink, his cheek was burning and had a red hand mark on it.
"Pervert!" Sango yelled.
"I was just trying to help," Miroku said innocently. Inuyasha shook his head and stepped forward. He knelt down and poked Kagome right below her ribs. The jumped up immediately looked around. She blinked several times before looking at the three, confused.
"We're back in Japan Kagome!" Sango said and pulled the girl up to her feet. Kagome mouthed an 'oh' and yawned.
"Already?" she asked.
"Yup!" Miroku said. "Inuyasha was the one who woke you up. I would have done it but Sango wouldn't let me do it my way!" He looked briefly at her to see Sango's face flaming red. Before he knew what was happening, Sango gave him another slap in his face.
