Chapter 11: Getting Settled In

-

-

-

Kagome was the first to rise Saturday morning. She was still upset by what Sango said last night. Once she got dressed, she walked down stairs and out to the back patio. She grabbed an archery set and went into an open area, about 20 yards away, where the target was. By practicing her archery, it always calmed her nerves when she's upset.

'I can't believe Sango would be the one to do something like that; it pissed me off.

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

An hour later, Rin and Sango heard the thumping sound as they both were in a light sleep. Sango looked over at her clock as it just turned 8 o'clock.

'She has been out there for an hour. I guess I really made her mad.' Sango got up out of bed. 'I might as well get ready since I can't sleep any more and the guys will be here within two hours.' She sighed as she walked into the bathroom for a shower.

Shortly after, Rin couldn't stand hearing the thumping much longer. So she got up and went to take a shower as well.

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

After 30 minutes, Sango got out and dressed. She opened her curtains, balcony doors, and walked out on the balcony. She looked off in the distance to see that Kagome was still shooting off arrows.

'She's hopeless. Why doesn't she just get over it? She's not only stuck with Inuyasha, we're all stuck with Miroku, the pervert.' She sighed at the thought of having a major pervert around. She went back into her room and headed down to the kitchen.

Sango got out eggs, bacon, and French toast as well with the skillets she needed.

Shortly after breakfast was started, Rin smelt it from her room and rushed down into the kitchen.

"That smells good Sango!" Rin got a carton of orange juice out of the fridge.

"Oh, morning Rin."

"So what's for breakfast?"

"French toast."

"That'll be good."

"So what's the deal with you and Shippo?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, Friday night, at the dance, he asked me out. So we're a bit more than friends."

"Ah, I see. Well then, Shippo won't be staying on your section."

"Sango! As if Shippo and I are gonna be doing anything sneaky. Get your head out of the gutter."

"I'm just kidding, you know I trust you."

"Yeah, I know."

"Well, do me a favor and go get Kagome for breakfast. By the time you get back with her, it'll be done."

"Okay."

Rin left the kitchen and headed out to where Kagome was, but she almost ran into Kagome as she got to the door.

"Oh Kagome, I was just about to come get you for breakfast."

"Well, now you don't have to." She placed her bow down and took off her shoes.

"Where's your arrows?" she wondered.

"I left them in the targets. I'll get back out in a little while and collect them up."

"Oh okay."

They both walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.

"I noticed you were up early today, Kagome." Sango said looking towards her.

"Yeah, I couldn't get much sleep last night."

"You're still upset at me, aren't you?"

"A little."

"Think of it this way, I'll probably have to deal with the pervert." She said as she placed Kagome's and Rin's breakfast in front of them.

"Thanks Sango." She started eating.

"The way I see it, both of you will have to deal with Miroku." Rin laughed a bit.

"Just eat your food Rin." Sango and Kagome said.

"Whatever."

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

Elsewhere, the guys were already up and gathered enough clothes into suitcases.

"Inuyasha, Shippo, are you both ready?" Miroku said standing at the door.

"I am." Shippo said happily.

"I guess."

"Then why are you waiting around for?" Shippo said as he pushed Inuyasha out to the car, while Miroku locked up.

"Hey!" Inuyasha hit Shippo on the head.

"Come on, lets go."

They all got in the car and left.

-

After the girls were done eating breakfast, Kagome went up into her bathroom and got into a shower, while Rin helped Sango clean up the kitchen and anything else laying insight.

Once everything was picked up, Sango and Rin sat down on the couch in the living room and turned on the television.

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

Close to 10 o'clock, Kagome came down and went towards the back door.

"Where you going Kagome?" Sango asked.

"I'm going back out to gather my arrows."

"Oh ok."

"Yeah." She walked out.

Shortly after, the guys arrived at the front gate and they looked at the mansion behind the gate.

"This must be it." Miroku said as he pressed a button that was labeled 'page'.

Within the mansion, at the front door, there was a little screen that over look the front gate and a buzzing alarm that went off.

Rin quickly got up to check the screen. "Sango, they're here." she pressed a button to open the gate.

"Then let them in." Sango got up from the couch and turned off the television.

"I did."

'It has begun.' Sango sighed.

As they drove to the building and stopped, Rin and Sango walked out and stood on the porch.

"Good morning." Shippo and Miroku said as they got out of the car.

"Morning boys." Sango and Rin said back, as the guys got their stuff out of the car and started walking up the stairs to the porch.

"Come in and we'll show you to your rooms." Sango said as she and Rin walked inside.

"Alright." The three fallowed them in.

Once they entered, they looked to the living room and stopped for a moment; their jaws dropped a little seeing the huge plasma TV and stereo system.

"Wow!" They said.

Sango and Rin stopped and looked back at them.

"Nice huh?" Sango said.

"Yeah." They looked back to the girls.

"Shippo, come with me; I'll show you to your room." Rin said with a smile.

"Okay." Shippo went to Rin's side.

"I'm trusting you two." Sango whispered.

"I know." Rin said.

"Don't worry about anything miss Sango. I will not do anything like that." Shippo whispered.

"Oh good and you don't need to call us miss." Sango said as she looked over at the puzzled Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Okay."

"Alright, lets go Shippo." Rin said, looking at Shippo as he nodded; and they both went up the stairs and went towards the west end of the mansion.

"What was that all about?" Miroku asked curiously.

"Oh, it was nothing." Sango turned towards Miroku and Inuyasha. "Well, come on." she started walking up that stairs again and heading the other direction.

"Oh, right." Miroku said as he and Inuyasha fallowed her.

"Okay." Inuyasha said.

Rin opened a room, which was five doors down from her room, as she and Shippo walked in.

"Here's your room."

"It's really nice." He looked around in awe and places his bag on the bed.

"Of course, all the rooms here are nice. Well I'll let you get settled and I'll be down in the living room." She stood at the door.

"Okay." Shippo opened his case and started to get his clothes out to put away.

Rin walked out, closing the door behind her, and started walking down the hall.

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

Sango stopped half way down the hall and opened two rooms, next to each other.

"Well choose which room you want and get settled. I'll be down stairs waiting."

"Okay, we'll be down in a little."

"Yeah." Inuyasha said and walked into the room on the left.

"Okay, I'm gonna go and let you do that." Sango walked past Miroku as he looked down a little and watched her, he reached out and touched her butt. She quickly turned around and slapped him. "Pervert."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." He said as he smiled a little and rubbed his face.

"Sure you couldn't." She walked off.

"You had to do it, huh?" Inuyasha said from within the room.

"Well of course." He sighs and walks into the other room.

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

After a few minutes, Sango and Rin were sitting down in the living room watching TV, as Kagome came back inside and sat down beside them.

"What took ya Kagome?" Rin asked.

"I had a lot of arrows out there."

"Oh." Sango and Rin said.

Shippo quietly walked down into the living room, not being noticed.

"So…" Kagome looked at her watch and sighed a little. "Are they here?"

"Yeah, they're putting their things away." Sango said a little upset.

"Uh oh, what happened Sango?" Kagome said and looked over at her.

"Take a guess."

"Um, you got fondled with by the pervert, huh?" Kagome guessed and looked back at the television.

"Exactly..." Sango sighed.

"To warn you, that is to be expected from Miroku." Shippo said as he walked up behind the couch.

"Oh, hello Shippo." Kagome said.

"Hi Kagome. And Sango, no matter how many times he gets slapped, he doesn't learn from it."

"I should have figured…"

They heard footsteps and talking coming from the stairs.

"Kagome, I'm asking you a favor not to try and fight with Inuyasha, okay." Sango said.

"I'll try not to."

"Thanks Kagome."

Inuyasha and Miroku walked into the living room and both noticed Kagome sitting on the couch.

"Ah, good morning Kagome." Miroku said.

"Morning." Kagome said.

"We're gonna show you around." Sango said as she, Rin, and Kagome got up from the couch.

"Alright." The guys said.

"Okay, first of all, the kitchen…" they walk in through the double swinging door and enters the kitchen. "The food is in the fridge and pantry…" Sango continued." …and Inuyasha, there is plenty of ramen in the pantry..."

Inuyasha walks over to the pantry and sees all the ramen there. "Alright!" Everyone laughed a little at Inuyasha expression.

"And if you get hungry, help yourself, but make sure to clean up after."

They left the kitchen and headed down the hall to the study. Kagome opened the door and all walked in.

"Here's the study. It's very useful if you need somewhere quiet to work or to think."

"Yeah, I come in here all the time to do my homework and it really keeps the distractions out." Rin said glancing over at Kagome.

"Hey! What's that mean Rin!" Everyone except for Kagome laughed.

"It means you bugging and teasing me when I'm trying to do my work."

"I do not!"

"You've been doing it for a week."

"Okay stop you two." Sango said with a laugh.

"What so funny Sango?" Kagome asked.

"Rin's right Kagome. You teased her after we picked her up Monday, on the way to the theaters and once she started on her homework."

Kagome sighed and walked out of the room.

"How amusing." Miroku said.

"Yeah." Shippo said.

"Does she act like that to just about anyone?"

"Yeah, when someone says something sort of like that and she gets glanced at, she knows she's the one that's being mentioned and that happens, but most of the time it's for kicks." Sango said.

"I see."

"Hmmm." Inuyasha kind of feel a little bad for Kagome but then again not.

"But then again, there's times where she could get a little scary."

"Yeah, like sometime last week, we had to see our manager about something and Kagome got Kaede-sama and Sango to the point of hiding under a desk for something that was said about her. That was scary." Rin said as the guys laughed more.

"Was that the day when we went to get shakes after school with Yuri, Koshiro, Yosuke, and Aoi and your phone rang?"

"Yeah."

"Well that's enough story time for now. Well lets go down into the basement." Sango walked out of the study and down towards the end of the hall, as well as everyone else, and Rin closing the door.

"Okay, is that where you all practice?" Shippo asked.

"Yeah it is and sort of a recording area. All of the equipment is there, and also some extras." Rin said.

They got to the basement door and it was already opened and the light was on.

"Go on down and turn right." Sango said letting the guys go first.

"Alright." They headed down the stairs as Sango and Rin fallowed them. Once at the bottom, they walked through the doorway to the right and into the practice room.

Kagome was there replacing the strings on her guitar and tuning it. On a stool next to her sat Kilala waging her tails.

"Kagome, what are you doing?" Sango asked.

"Just replacing the strings, they seemed worn out and about to snap anyways."

"Oh I see." Kilala jumped off the stool and ran over to her, jumping into Sango's arms. "Hey Kilala. Go a head and have a seat." Sango grabbed a stool and sits down.

The guys nodded and sat down on stools and Rin sits at her favorite spot, behind the drum set.

"There's a lot of equipment here, do you play a little bit of everything or just what you play in concerts?" Miroku asked.

"A little of everything, but there's a few that we're not too good at." Rin said and picks up her sticks and acts as if she's playing.

Kagome gets up and places her guitar on its stand. She looks over at Rin, seeing that she has the feeling to play her drums. "Got an urge to play Rin?" everyone looked over to Rin.

"Uh, heheh, yeah." She stopped moving the sticks. "I can't help it, every time I'm down here, I wanna play."

"Then go on and play, we don't mind." Miroku said.

"Yeah go on Rin." Shippo said.

"Well okay." Rin started playing her drums and Kagome sat back down.

"Well if you would also like, you could play something or a spare that we have down here whenever you want to, but let one of us know first."

"Oh cool." Shippo said.

"Sounds good." Miroku said.

"Alright." Inuyasha said.

Once Rin finished playing, she sat her sticks down and walked out from behind the drums.

"That was really good Rin. I wish I could play that well." Shippo said.

"Thanks Shippo, but I could teach you sometime."

"Really! Cool!"

"Yeah. Kagome, what are we gonna do for lunch?"

"Lunch! Is it noon already?" she looks down at her watch. "Hm, just about, any suggestions?"

"We could order pizza." Sango said.

"Yeah, pizza sounds good." Miroku said.

"Yeah, sure." Shippo said.

"Alright, pizza it is." Kagome got a piece of paper and a pin. "What type do you guys want?"

"One pepperoni and a sausage." Inuyasha said.

"Mediums or larges?"

"Larges will be fine." Inuyasha said.

"And Sango, the usual right?"

"Yeah exactly."

"Okay I'll be back in a little." Kagome got her cell phone out of her pocket and left the room and went up stairs to call in the orders.

"Hey Shippo, do you have a pair of swim trunks?" Rin asked.

"Yeah I do. Is there a pool?"

"Yeah, an Olympic size."

"Really! How cool!"

"Wanna go in a little?"

"Sure!"

"Anyone else want to?"

"Sounds good, I could really go for a swim." Miroku agreed.

"Alright I'll go too." Inuyasha agreed.

"You in Sango?" Rin asked.

"Well…" she said a little unsure. 'What is Rin thinking! Me, swimming around in a bikini with the biggest pervert here.'

"Aw come on Sango." Miroku, Shippo and Rin said.

"Well, oh alright." She gave in.

"Okay, now to get Kagome to join." Rin said.

At the moment Kagome came back down and looked at them. "Get me to join what?"

"Pool party, that's what. Will ya Kagome? We're all gonna go." Rin said.

Kagome looked around the room and stopped on Sango. "Um, okay. Sango, could I talk to you for a moment?"

"Uh, sure." Sango got up from her spot and walked around the corner with Kagome.

"What's going on?" Kagome whispered.

"I don't know, it's all Rin's idea. Some reason she tosses out ideas before we even think of agreeing."

"I know, I know. I noticed that you don't really feel comfortable agreeing to go swim 'cause of Miroku."

"Very true, I don't, but now there's no way out for either one of us. We're just gonna have to get through this without someone going unconscious." She sighs.

"First of all, you're the one that got us into this and now this is how it will be for a month."

"I know, well lets just try to get through it."

"Okay, I'll try." They both walk back around the corner and sat back down.

"What was that about, if I may ask?" Miroku asked.

"Oh nothing important. Well the pizza will take about an hour." Kagome said.

"Um okay."

"Lets go swim while we're waiting for the pizza!" Rin said.

"Alright." The guys agreed and got up from their spot.

"You guys go ahead and we'll meet you at the back door." Kagome said.

"Alright." Shippo said as he rushed out of the room and Inuyasha fallowed Shippo out.

"Well if you insist." Miroku said.

"Yes I insist."

Miroku nodded at them and fallowed the others out of the room.

After making sure the guys left the basement, Sango and Kagome turned to Rin.

"Am I in trouble for something?" Rin asked innocently.

"Sort of." They both said.

"Why do you do this to us Rin?" Sango said.

"Do what? You mean asking them if they want to go swimming with us?"

"Yes exactly." Kagome said.

"Well I thought it would be good for them to get to know us."

"Yeah and our curves!" Sango said.

"Well you never had a problem going around showing your figure, so why the embarrassment?"

"True, you never had a problem with that Sango."

"Yeah but, how do you feel walking around in a bikini with one of the biggest perverts watching, huh Kagome?"

"Yeah you're right Sango…I'm not too comfortable with him either, but I'm gonna go out in my bikini and you do too."

"Oh alright… Rin do both of us a favor and don't bring these ideas out as a little surprise to us."

"I'll try."

"Well then lets go get our bikinis on, we cant just keep them waiting." Kagome and Sango sighed as they walked up out of the basement leaving. Rin fallowed shutting off the lights and closing the door.
