--------------
"Ayame!" A way to cheerful for Sunday morning, Rin yelled, jumping onto Ayame's bed.
Ayame groaned and rolled onto her back. She opened one eye and looked up at her friend. Rin was wearing a red and orange bikini. Ayame shot her a quizzical look. "Going swimming?" She asked, though the answer was pretty obvious.
Rin nodded with a cheerful grin. "The water's really warm today, almost 90! Come on, put on your bathing suit. Kagome and Sango area already out there!" Rin said pulling the covers off of the redhead.
Ayame sat up and looked at the clock. 'Wow, it's 11:30 already..." She thought, 'I can't believe i slept so long.' Ayame stood up and stretched out. She slowly made her way over to her dresser and pulled out her favourite bathing suit. It was a black tank top with lime green trim that stopped just short of her belly button and some low riding black short shorts that looked like normal workout shorts with a lime green drawstring. She made her way to the upstairs bathroom and changed into her bathing suit and brushed her hair and teeth. Once changed she went back into her bedroom, where Rin was patiently waiting for her.
"Ooo, Ayame! I love that suit!" Rin complimented, sitting on the bed.
Ayame walked over to a small laundry basket she had by the window. "Hey Rin, do you have any towels I could use?"
"Yeah, there's a whole bunch downstairs in the laundry room." Rin said getting off the bed and stretching.
Ayame nodded as she dropped her clothes in the bin. She glanced outside for a minute, doing a double take. Outside were, not only Kagome and Sango, but three guys as well. All three of them were tall and muscular. One had long black hair tied into a high ponytail. He was wearing a plain white muscle shirt and brown shorts. He had his back to her so she couldn't see his face. He appeared to be having a disagreement of some sort with the guy in front of him. This one had long silver hair and amber eyes. He was wearing a tight read t-shirt and red jogging pants. She guess this guy really liked red. He looked pretty pissed off. The third guy was standing next to Sango, who was watching him out of the corner of her eye. He had short-ish black hair that was pulled into a puny rat-tail at the base of his skull and dark blue eyes. He wore a sleeveless purple-ish shirt with a hood and navy shorts.
The scene before her was actually quite amusing. The first two guys were obviously arguing, over what, Ayame didn't know, but the silver haired one looked like his head was about to explode. Kagome looked like she was trying to reason with them, but to no avail, while Sango and this other guy simply watched with mild amusement. She wondered why Sango was eyeing the shorthaired one wearily but figured, whatever it was, she didn't want to know. "Hey Rin...?" She started.
"Yes?" Rin said in a singsong voice as she walked towards her friend.
"Who are they?" Ayame asked, pointing at the group of people standing near the pool.
Rin looked out the window. "Oh, them? They're our neighbours." She said with a small giggle. "The one standing next to Sango is Miroku, he's kind of perverted. The one with the silver hair is Inuyasha, or Inu as we like to call him. The last one is Kouga."
Ayame nodded. Slowly, a very evil smile spread across her lips. "Hey, do you guys have any water balloons?" She asked.
Rin's eyes brightened significantly. She and Ayame had always been the pranksters of the group. Well, usually Ayame came up with evil schemes and Rin just went along with them, both of them usually ending up in trouble. "Why yes, I believe we do." Ayame and Rin looked at each other with identical evil grins. Rin casually left the room, heading downstairs to the kitchen where they kept the water balloons, followed closely by Ayame. Rin pulled out three water balloons, one for each of the guys and filled them.
::::::::::::::: Outside :::::::::::::::::::
"She's not your woman, you mangy wolf!" Inuyasha yelled his fists clenched.
"What, did you claim her?" Kouga snarled back, leaning forward.
"No!" Inuyasha growled as Kagome blushed. "But she ain't yours!"
The two boys were nearly nose-to-nose, teeth clenched, in a heated stare down.
Suddenly, Inuyasha felt something hit him rather hard and was soaked from head to toe. He sputtered for a second, looking around for what had got him. "The hell?" He asked no one in particular. He spun around hearing laughter.
Sango and Kagome were leaning on each other, trying to stifle their laugher, but failing miserably, while Kouga and Miroku were making no attempts to stop themselves. Inuyasha growled at them his eyes darkening.
Splash
Miroku blinked, now standing there sopping wet. The girls doubled over laughing, having to sit on some lawn chairs to stop them from falling over. Inuyasha began to laugh at the confused dark hair man and Kouga had his hands on his knees trying to support himself as he laughed.
Splash
Kouga stood there, absolutely stunned. He was now, like the other two men, soaked from head to toe.
Kagome fell out of her chair and was now rolling on the ground laughing, while Sango had her head on the table and banging it with her fist.
Inuyasha laughed the loudest out of all of them. "Serves you right, mangy wolf!" He yelled.
::::::::::::::: Inside :::::::::::::::::::
The two girls were trying desperately not to burst out laughing at the scene before them. They high fived each other for a job well done.
"That was awesome!" Ayame said, wiping tears of laughter out of her eyes.
"So good," Rin chorused. "Did you see the look on their faces?"
"Absolutely precious!" Ayame cried, leaning on the wall for support. Ayame was o busy laughing at the chaos she had caused to notice Rin's evil smirk. It wasn't until she saw the super soaker that she straightened up.
Rin gave a small evil laugh as she shot the water gun at Ayame.
Ayame let out a loud scream of surprise as the cold water hit her. "RIN! STOP! RIIIIN!" She screeched as she ran out of the room trying to get away from her friends assault.
::::::::::::::: Outside :::::::::::::::::::
Everyone jumped when they heard Ayame's scream.
"What was that?" Miroku asked looking up at the house in alarm.
"No clue," Sango said glancing at Kagome who shrugged.
"Do you think we should go check on them?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Them?" Inuyasha said giving Kagome a confused look.
Kagome was about to explain when the back screen door opened and a very wet Ayame rushed out followed by Rin who was still shooting at the redheaded girl. The guy all looked confusedly at Ayame.
"RIN! STOP IT!" Ayame yelled. She saw the hose and decided to take the chance. She rushed over and cranked it on. She swiftly turned around and pressed down on the nozzle, the stream of water hitting Rin head on.
"KYAAAA!" Rin squealed, putting her hands out in front of her to try and block the water. "TRUCE! TRUCE!" She called.
Ayame gave a satisfied smirk and turned off the hose. The girls approached each other and shook on the truce before bursting out into a giggle fit.
Inuyasha cleared his throat loudly to get the two girls attention. The two girls froze, looking at the three very wet boys and their housemates. A long awkward silence ensued.
"Guys, this is Ayame," Kagome said, breaking the silence. "Ayame, these are our neighbours Kouga, Inuyasha and Miroku."
Miroku walked up to Ayame with a friendly smile. "It's lovely meeting you miss Ayame." He said. "May I ask you something?"
"Uh..." She looked at Rin and back at him. "Sure."
"Would you consider bearing my child?" He asked.
Ayame's eyes went the size of saucepans. "What?" She cried in a strangled voice. Everyone around sweat dropped. Ayame's wide eyes turned into small slits as she fell a foreign presence on her butt. "YOU PERVERT!!!!" She screeched smacking him across his left cheek, backing away.
Everyone sweat dropped yet again as Miroku gave his best innocent look. Sango walked past giving him a quick smack upside the head. "Stupid letch." she muttered under her breath. She turned to the rather startled redhead. "It's ok Ayame, he asks every woman he meets that." She reassured her friend.
"Well that's... creepy" Ayame stated, eyeing the pervert suspiciously. Suddenly she was pushed. She wobbled for a second grabbing onto the person who had pushed her as she fell into the pool.
The two women came back up for air sputtering while the others laughed at their antics.
"What was that for," Ayame yelled looking over at the other person in the pool.
"Couldn't resist." Rin said giving an innocent smile.
Ayame narrowed her eyes. "Is that so?" She asked in a tone that promised pain.
"Eep!" Rin said swimming away.
"Oh no you don't!" Ayame yelled, giving chase.
Kagome and Sango sweatdropped.
"Are they always like that?" Miroku asked.
"Sadly...yes." Sango stated, turning red. "PERVERT!" She screamed smacking the hentai behind her.
"Well, it's good to see Ayame back to her old self." Kagome muttered quietly. She looked up at Kouga and Inuyasha who were nose to nose growling at each other. What they were arguing about this time, no one knows.
::::::::::::::::::: In the pool :::::::::::::::::::::
"What's up with those two?" Ayame asked Rin, jabbing her thumb towards Kouga and Inuyasha.
"Oh them. They just like to argue. They're a lot alike really, that probably why." Rin explained. "It all started because Kouga claimed Kagome as 'his woman' and Inuyasha has a thing for Kags, though he'll never admit it."
"And the letch?" Ayame asked looking over as Miroku tried to explain himself to an obviously not convinced Sango.
"He's a perv who took a liking to Sango and her butt." Rin giggled.
"I see." Ayame said, stifling her own laughter.
"Oh and Inuyasha's older brother lives next door as well. He's rather anti-social though." Rin said blushing slightly at his name. "He and Inuyasha don't get along very well either. Sibling rivalry, you know? It's too bad really..."
"So you like him eh?" Ayame stated knowingly.
"YES!" Rin exclaimed, blushing a little. "And everyone knows it except for him!"
Ayame patted Rin on the back. "He'll figure it out eventually." She said with a warm smile. "In the meantime..." She hoisted herself over the side of the pool. "Cartoons."
Rin's eyes lit up and she jumped out of the pool. The two of them grabbed their towels and went back in the house.
Seeing the two girls go back in the house Kagome turned to the guys. "So, what do you guys think of Ayame?" She asked hopefully.
"Keh," Was Inuyasha's only response.
Kouga shrugged. "She seems alright."
Everyone looked at Miroku. "She has a nice butt... But no where near as nice as my dear Sango's" He said groping said woman.
