.../...CHAPTER.7...\...
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you
Listen
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine and it's a shame
Don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you're bad and it shows
From your head to your toes, Out of control, baby you know
LET.ME.LOVE.YOU. - MARIO.
Ch.7 Ex-Boyfriend
RECAP.
"Do you like Kagome or not?" She asked him simply.
"What the hell does it matter to you?" He demanded. She grabbed his arm and pushed him back into the wall.
"It matters to me cause you are my friend and I care about you but the thing is, I care about Kagome too. She's my friend too. I want to know because if you don't then i'm not going to let you keep messing with her." Sango explained. "So...do you surrender, or are you still fighting your own battle?"
"I-...I surrender...I surrendered already." Inuyasha said as he looked down at the ice.
"To which side though?" Sango asked. "...love or war?"
"What?" Inuyasha asked giving her a questioning look.
"You heard me. Do you want the chance to fall in love or do you want to fight this battle forever? Like I said...love or war Inuyasha?" Sango asked sympathetically. He sighed and looked behind her over at Kagome. He smirked when he saw her laughing with Miroku. He sighed before looking back at Sango.
"Do you even have to ask?" He asked her.
"I don't know. I want to hear it straight out from you so you don't turn it around and say I thought something different." Sango said with a smile from seeing him have a reason to smile. "So...you giving it another chance? And I can assure you if you give it another chance you won't be hurt in the end." Sango smirked.
"You think so huh?" He asked. She nodded. "Well if you say so then I guess it's worth a shot huh?" He smirked. She smiled and hugged him making him fall. "Agh, thanks alot." Inuyasha sighed as he sat on the ice.
"No problem hun." Sango smirked as she helped him up. "I'll just give you a tip. Could you try and be more affectionate to her!" She asked, pushing him on the chest making him fall once again.
END.RECAP.
"It was fun getting to ice skate after so long." Kagome smiled then looked over at Inuyasha.
"Ya that was fun. Must have taken alot out of Inuyasha." Sango smirked as she also looked over at him as he slept on the mattress. "He should be helping us." Sango said as she worked on her song she was working on.
"Well he never really got much rest after driving so long so he was probably tired." Kagome told her as she looked at the journal in front of her.
"Ya...I wonder what the place is like." She wondered.
"Ya really, i'm kinda excited but also nervous." Kagome sighed as she leaned back against the side of the van as she continued writing.
"I think we could be there by tomorrow evening if we drive through the night but we'll be taking a ferry in the middle of the night tonight." Miroku explained.
"Great. If your up to it then by all means but if you get tired just let Koga drive." Sango smirked.
"Oh thanks Sango." Koga muttered.
"Your welcome." She smiled.
"Sango i'm finished with one song. I kinda stopped with one and started with another." Kagome said and handed her the journal on the page.
"Thanks. Finally something to do." Sango smiled as she took out her pen. "You can play guitar right?"
"Ya...sorta." Kagome answered.
"Well can you play the music you want and i'll just copy it onto paper?" Sango asked her.
"Ya I think I can do that." Kagome shrugged as Sango handed her Inuyasha's guitar. "But the song is piano again."
"Ok...I can do that. Just play it on the guitar. I'll do the changes so it's piano." Sango assured her.
"What did Ayame say?" Miroku asked Koga.
"She wanted to know how I was and she kept apologizing and then after I got done talking to her I started playing games so I didn't have to skate." Koga smirked.
"I didn't think you were on the phone for a whole hour." Miroku muttered.
"Well I didn't want to look like an idiot like the way you two looked. Oh but I watched Inuyasha get pushed around by Sango. Now that was funny." Koga chuckled.
"Ya don't let him hear that or you probably wont see tomorrow." Miroku warned him.
"He's to wrapped up in other things right now." Koga said.
"Don't be so sure of yourself." Miroku told him, Koga shrugged with a sigh.
"This is so boring." Koga said.
"Well tonight we will cross take a ferry to Nagasaki and then you can drive to the place." Miroku explained.
"Fine then don't bother me so I can get some sleep." Koga told him as he closed his eyes.
"Hey I been wondering something. What are we going to do when we get there?" Kagome asked Sango once they had finished.
"Well we'll sign up then I guess we'll just...do whatever we're supposed to do." Sango shrugged.
"Oh. Well I guess i'll work on my other song I have." Kagome smiled as she took the journal back.
"I havn't gotten to read your song yet though." Sango told her.
"You can read it later." Kagome smirked.
"Fine." Sango mumbled.
LATER.
"We're waiting in line for a ferry? Why would there even be a line at night!" Koga asked as he looked out the window at all the cars in front of them.
"Will you shut the fuck up!" Inuyasha yelled finally waking up from Koga's yelling. Both girls jumped when he yelled and looked over at him.
"Give me a heart attack next time." Sango said with her hand over her heart.
"Ya..." Inuyasha said as he closed his eyes again.
"The line's moving. I think we'll be able to get on this ferry." Miroku told them.
"Ok! Yay! When we get on the ferry let's get out of the van." Sango told Kagome.
"Ok, I think i'm starting to give up on this song anyways." Kagome said as she put the journal down.
"Maybe you need a break." Sango laughed. Kagome laughed and nodded.
"Ya maybe. I'll take it outside with me." Kagome said. They sat quietly for a few minutes before Sango sighed and started moving.
"Ok i'm bored." Sango said as she crawled over to Inuyasha.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked as she stayed where she was sitting.
"Waking him up." She answered with a smirk before pulling the pillow from under Inuyasha.
"Hey! Bitch." Inuyasha mumbled as he sat up.
"You need to wake up we're almost on the ferry." Sango smirked.
"Ok?" He asked. She glarred at him and hit him on the arm.
"Your coming outside with us." She told him.
"Ok ok ok!" He said and scooted away from her. Sango looked up when she heard the front door open then looked to the back when Miroku opened the back door as Kagome picked the journal back up.
"Move, i'm taking a nap." Miroku told Inuyasha.
"You can take a nap later. We're going outside." Sango said and pulled Kagome by the arm out of the van. "Come on Inuyasha." She said as he slowly made his way out of the van.
"Let's go to the front. We can see the dolphins swim next to the ferry!" Sango said as pulled Kagome by the arm as she weaved through cars to get to the front with both boys following behind. "Where's Koga?" Sango asked.
"He wants to be left alone so he can get some rest since he'll be driving after we get off the ferry. He dosn't like ferry's because the water splashes up." Miroku explained.
"The water splashes up?" Kagome asked.
"Not that much." Sango shrugged. "Look!" Sango pointed to the side when she saw some dolphin's swimming out in the water.
"Oh wow!" Kagome said as she ran with Sango to the front.
"I'm going inside and buy some chips or something." Sango told Kagome.
"Ok." Kagome nodded. Miroku looked over at Sango as she walked away and then back at Kagome.
"I should probably go with her since she dosn't have any money." Miroku decided. Kagome laughed and nodded.
"Ya that may help." Kagome smirked and opened up the journal to the page. She looked over at Inuyasha who was leaning against the front of the ferry. She laughed as he rested his chin in his palm. "Have a good nap?"
"No...I wish I was still asleep." He said tiredly and looked away from the water to look at her. "What's that?" He asked.
"A song I was working on. I think it sounds funny." She said making a face as she looked at it. He chuckled and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with it?" He asked.
"I think the chorus is in it to much." She sighed and handed him the journal as he held his hand out for it.
"Where does it sound like it shouldn't be to you?" He asked.
"Well there's a few places. I'm thinking maybe I should cut it right after this part." She said as she pointed to one of the verses. "Cause the chorus is there after every verse." She explained and looked over the page again as he held it. "See in the 'seems like a dream' verse and the 'I need someone' verse." She told him.
"Then the chorus really wouldn't be in the song at all." He told her. She sighed and looked at the song again. "I think it's fine how it is." He told her. "Supergirl?" He asked with a smirk.
"It's just a song. I didn't know what else to do. She said daydreams and I kinda just started thinking about when people daydream." She explained while giving him a narrowed look.
"Ok ok, I didn't say it was bad." He chuckled before giving it back to her.
"Well what about yours? I havn't heard it yet." She told him.
"I know." He smirked.
"Your not going to let me here it?" She asked.
"You didn't ask to hear it." He shrugged.
"Fine...can I hear your song?" She asked him.
"Yes, later." He told her.
"Fine." She said and turned to look at the water. They were both quiet for a few minutes Kagome spoke. "Are you nervous?" She asked curiously and turned to look at him.
"Not really. It's not like I have to do it alone or anything and I won't know the people that'll be there so I really couldn't care what they think." Inuyasha explained before he looked at her. "Why are you?"
"A little. I know there's no reason to be cause I won't be doing it alone but...I don't know." She sighed as she looked down.
"It's ok to be a little nervous but you have a great voice so it's not going to be bad or anything." He smirked. She looked up at him and smiled with a blush tinting her cheeks.
"Thanks, I just don't want to mess up I guess cause we need the money." She shrugged.
"You don't have to worry about that. Your worry to much, just relax and you'll do fine." He told her.
"What is this a 'do as I say, not as I do' thing?" She smirked. "I told you the same thing and you didn't relax at all."
"Now that is different. You can't fall on your ass while singing." He told her.
"No I suppose you can't." She laughed. He smirked as he looked at her and leaned closer to her. She looked up at him and was surprised how close he was. She blushed when she realized what he was doing, she felt her heart beating faster and the butterflies return that she always felt with him. He was at least an inch away from her when water had splashed up at the front and got them wet.
"What the hell!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Ah! That is cold!" Kagome yelled as she crossed her arms while trying to keep herself warm with the journal in her hand. "What happend?"
"Water splashed. I think I now know why people don't come outside on the ferry at night." He said as he also tried to get warm.
"Let's go back to the van." She said as she started heading back. He sighed and followed her to the van. She opened the back and grabbed a blanket and wrapped herself in it. Inuyasha got in and grabbed the other blanket and just pulled it over him.
"Well that was fun." Inuyasha said dully.
"Ya..." Kagome said. "I hope Sango got hot cheetos or something, anything would be good." Kagome laughed as she hugged the blanket to herself and put her hand over her chest under the blanket as her heart was still pounding.
"That desperate huh?" He chuckled.
"Ya." She smiled. 'What was that about? I thought he didn't really like me. Also at the rink he was being really nice...sweet actually. Was he really about to kiss me? Should I ask him? Sango where are you?' She thought then looked at the back door as it opened.
"What happend?" Sango asked before she burst into laughter when she saw they were both soaking wet.
"Ya the water dosn't splash much huh?" Kagome asked giving her a narrowed look.
"I'm sorry I didn't think it would splash much. We're at the enterance of Nagasaki though. I already told Koga and he's gonna drive through the night." Sango said trying not to laugh anymore. Miroku got in after Sango and gave them both odd looks.
"What were you to up to?" He asked with a smirk.
"Ignore him." Sango sighed and went over to Kagome. "I got chips and cokes." Sango said as she passed the cokes to Miroku to put them in the small fridge.
"What took so long?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha went and sat in the front.
"There was alot of people inside." Sango told her. "How's your other song?"
"Oh i'm just leaving it how it is." Kagome said with a shrug.
"Ok we'll write the music in the morning. I think we should get some sleep cause we'll be there by tomorrow." Sango told her.
"Ya easy for you to say. Your not cold and wet." Kagome sighed.
"Well you could go to the front and get them to turn the heater on." Sango laughed.
"No it's ok i'll stay back here. Night." Kagome said.
"Ok. Night." Sango said as she went and sat next to the mattress where Miroku was already asleep. She closed her eyes and hoped to fall asleep but after at least thirty minutes had passed she went up to the front and sat between Inuyasha and Koga.
"Can't sleep?" Koga asked her.
"No, it's cold. Do you mind if I turn the heater on?" She asked as she wrapped her blanket tighter around her.
"Go ahead." He told her.
"Thanks. Sorry it's just cold back there." She said.
"It's no problem. Go to sleep, we'll be there tomorrow and you have to stay awake while we sign up." Koga chuckled.
"Ok." She said as she made her comfortable and closed her eyes.
The next morning Kagome had woken up from the cold air blowing on her.
"Sorry it got hot last night." Koga apologized as he was about to turn the air up.
"No it's ok. I'm not cold anymore." She said tiredly and started to make her way to the back. "I'm going to the back."
"Alright." Koga said.
"Kagome?" Sango asked as she woke up when she heard talking.
"Ya, sorry." Kagome apologized.
"It's ok." She said with a yawn. "Want to work on your song?"
"Now? I just woke up." Kagome complained.
"So did I but we should do it before we get there." Sango told her.
"Fine." Kagome said as she sat down.
Inuyasha woke up when he heard a car hanking.
"Well it's about time you woke up." Koga smirked.
"I should still be asleep." He told him.
"You sure can sleep through alot." Koga told him.
"Why? What happend?" Inuyasha mumbled.
"Kagome was up here sleeping right next to you the whole night. It was to cold in the back." Koga said looking over at him then looking back at the road.
"Ok...wake me up when we get there." Inuyasha told him.
"Whatever." Koga said as he continued driving. "Hey I think we're almost there." Koga told them.
"What! Already!" Sango asked as she hurried and went toward the front.
"Well these are the directions right?" Koga asked her.
"Yes, how close are we!" Sango asked.
"Well the street I just turned on was Hama road and on these directions from the paper says Hama road then turn onto the highway and it's on that highway just a little ways." Koga explained.
"I thought we weren't supposed to be there till evening!" Sango asked.
"Ya well I drive faster then Miroku." Koga told her.
"Ok...well when we get there you guys have to get out so we can change and then we'll sign in." Sango explained.
"Alright alright." Koga rolled his eyes as he turned onto the highway. Kagome and Sango got their music together and got the clothes out that they would wear. "We're here!" Koga told them as he parked. "It's...a hotel..." Koga said as he looked out the window.
"Wow imagine that. Now get out." Sango told him. "Inuyasha! Get out!"
"Ok! I'm going!" He yelled as he sat up and got out of the van.
"Miroku!" Sango said as she pushed him to wake him up.
"What?" He asked.
"We're here. Get out." She told him.
"Uhh...ok..." He said as he was being pushed out of the van. He yawned and streatched as he stood outside. "Wow...nice hotel. Is that where we're going?"
"Yup I guess so." Koga said as he looked up at it.
"It's..." Miroku started.
"...Huge?" Inuyasha asked as he also looked up at it.
"Ya...that's it." Miroku nodded. They waited until the girls finished changing and walked over to the front. They stepped into the registration line and waited.
"Wow...long line..." Kagome said as she looked up to see the railings to all the floors.
"Come on let's go get some coffee." Sango told her as she dragged her away from the line.
They we're getting their cups of coffee when someone called over to them.
"Kagome?" A guy asked as he walked over. Kagome turned and looked over to where she heard her name being called. "Kagome, it's been so long since i've seen you."
"...Shiro?" Kagome asked carefully when she got a good look at the man.
"Yes, what are you doing out of Tokyo?" He asked as he hugged her.
"Umm...we're i'm on a trip with some friends. What are you doing here?" She smiled.
"I own this hotel." He smiled back.
"Oh...wow...that's great. We're actually entering this contest." She told him.
"Well where are you staying through out the contest?" He asked her.
"Uhh...we don't know." She lied.
"Well you should stay here." He said happily. "It'll be my pleasure to let you stay here with your friends." He told her.
"Umm...we don't have that much money." She admitted.
"You can stay as a request from me. It's on the house." He assured her.
"Really! That would be great! This is one of my friend's Sango. Sango this is Shiro." Kagome said introducing them.
"Nice to meet you." Sango smiled. She looked him up and down and figured he was good looking. He looked pretty fit but she just wondered how Kagome knew him.
"You can meet my other friends." Kagome told him.
"Yes one minute. I'll be there in just a sec." Shiro told her. She nodded as the two girls walked back.
"Wow that was wierd." Kagome said.
"Who was that guy?" Sango asked her.
"Ex-boyfriend from school." She told her.
"Oh wow...that is wierd." Sango agreed with a nod. They walked back to the line and Shiro was there before the girls could say anything.
"Hi i'm Shiro. Nice to meet Kagome's friends." Shiro said as he shook all three of the guy's hands.
"Uhh...hi...I'm Miroku." Miroku told him.
"He's letting us stay in the hotel." Kagome told them.
"Oh wow. That's great." Miroku said. Sango leaned over to Miroku before whispering to him.
"Ex-boyfriend meets potential boyfriend. Both seem to like her but the question is who she likes." Sango explained to him.
"Ya...i'm Koga." Koga nodded. "And this is Inuyasha."
"Nice to meet you all. Why don't you all come with me. This line is very long." Shiro said as he led them behind the sign up table. "This lady here will take care of you while I set your room up and someone will come and take you there."
"Oh...thank you." Kagome said as Sango began signing them up.
"Ok, your names?" The lady asked.
"Sango Houko, Miroku Kouji, Koga Matsuno, Inuyasha Kappei and Kagome...uhh...what's your last name Kagome?" Sango asked her.
"Kagome Higurashi." She smiled. They all looked at her with shocked expressions. "What?" She asked.
"Uhh...nothing." Sango smiled and elbowed Miroku who was behind her. "And Kagome Higurashi."
"Ok..." Kagome said looking at them oddly.
"You will need to take this and fill it out then turn it in to the front desk when your finished." The lady said as she handed them a clipboard and pen.
"Yes, thank you." Sango said as she took it.
"Hello, I am here to take you up to your room." A guy said.
"Oh...uhh...ok." Sango smiled as she began to follow him to the elevator with the others following behind. Sango watched as he pressed the buttons to the top floor.
"We're on the top floor?" Sango asked.
"Yes, that's where the private floor is." The guy told her.
"Uhh...private room? Umm...is there a mistake?" Kagome asked him.
"You are Kagome Higurashi arn't you?" He asked her.
"Uhh...yes...but..." Kagome started.
"Then there is no mistake. Mr. Shiro arranged it this way." The guy assured her. They waited a few minutes until the elevator reached their floor. "Go into that door and you will enter the private floor. Mr.Shiro wanted me to tell you he's sorry for not being able to show you up himself but he was very busy." The guy said before letting the elevator closed as they got out.
"Well...uhh...I guess we should check it out." Sango said as she walked to the door and opened it.
"Oh wow..." Kagome said as she walked in to see different door down a wide hall.
"Look! A pool room!" Sango yelled as she walked down the hall. "A towel room! Oh wow they even have a variety of swimming suits. This guy must be loaded." Sango said as she looked around.
"Right. Let's check out the rooms." Kagome said as she walked down the hall to the last door and walked inside.
"Uhh...maybe she's just nervous." Miroku suggested.
"I don't know." Sango said as she went into the room she went into. "Hey what's wrong?" Sango asked her.
"Nothing. Wow this room is huge but why is he giving us this?" Kagome asked.
"Maybe he still likes you or something." Sango suggested. "You did pretty good. To bad you guys broke up." Sango teased.
"Once this contest is over do you think we can leave? I just don't want to stay here more then the contest." Kagome told her.
"Of course." Sango assured her. "But for now, let's live it up here even if you don't like the guy that way anymore." Sango smirked.
"Ya, I think we can do that." Kagome smiled. "I'm taking a shower first!" Kagome yelled as she walked over to the bathroom.
"I don't think you have to worry about the shower being taken. There's a huge ass bath tub in there and two different showers." Koga said as he walked out of it.
"Ok well i'm taking a shower first with the doors locked and no one else in here." She said as she closed the door. "Damn how many doors are in here!" She asked as she went across the bathroom to lock the other door that lead into the other bedroom then looked through the last door to reveal it as a closet with lots of towels and soaps.
"Kagome! You don't have any clothes! We didn't bring in the suit cases yet!" Sango yelled from outside the door.
"Ok well...can you go get it for me please?" Kagome asked.
"Sure." Sango said and turned to go back to the elevator.
Inuyasha was in one of the rooms lying on the bed when his cell phone started ringing. He answered it when he didn't recognize the number.
"Hello?" He asked.
"Hey this is Rin. I wanted to see what was up since Kagome hasn't called back in a while." Rin explained.
"Hey Rin. Everything is ok. Kagome's in the shower." Inuyasha told her.
"Oh well then I guess I get to talk to you for now then. So what's up?" She asked him.
"Nothing. We're in Nagasaki right now. We still have a while to go till we get to Hong Kong." He said.
"Oh wow. Are you at least having fun?" Rin asked.
"What is there to do? The girl's have been having lots of fun though, they even went ice skating." Inuyasha told her.
"Oh how fun." Rin laughed.
"Sure it was." Inuyasha said.
"So what happens when you come back? Are you going to be staying with the band?" She asked curiously.
"I don't know. I guess i'll have to see." He told her as he got up and walked out of the room and found Koga outside on the balcony smoking a cigarette. He wished he had never walked out there but went over to him and held his hand out for one.
"Say please." Koga smirked.
"I'll fucking kill you. It's been to fucking long now." Inuyasha told him.
"What?" Rin asked.
"No not you." Inuyasha told her and took a cigarette and lighter from Koga. He put it in his mouth and sighed. He just had a feeling Kagome would walk out and find him smoking but he couldn't bring himself to put it down.
"What are you doing?" Rin asked him.
"S-...uhh...nothing." Inuyasha corrected himself. "Hey i'll have Kagome call you back." He told her before he hung up.
"What's with you?" Koga asked him.
"Nothing." He said and finally put it out before throwing it over the side. "Don't tell anyone I smoked." Inuyasha told him.
"Oh...bad boy. Doing what we're not supposed to do?" Koga smirked.
"Just shut it." Inuyasha told him as he walked back inside.
"You just wasted a cigarette! You only took one..." Koga started.
"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled as he walked into the hallway and saw Sango walking over to him with both suit cases. She walked by him and then stopped.
"Is that smoke I smell?" She asked and looked at him.
"Uhh...I don't think so." Inuyasha said as he walked back to the room he was in before. Sango tried to smell again but just shrugged it off as she kept walking to the other room. She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.
"Kagome the clothes are in this room, i'll close the door. I'll be looking around." Sango told her.
"Ok! Thanks!" Kagome called out. She finished her shower and wrapped a towel around her before walking into the room and changing into her clothes. She went back into the bathroom and brushed her hair after opening a bag with a new brush in it then unlocked all the doors. "Someone else can go." Kagome called out as she left the bathroom. She stopped in the hall when she smelled smoke and walked to the room with the couches that went out to the balcony and found Koga smoking. "Damn what do ya'll all smoke?" Kagome asked as she took the cigarette away from him.
"What are you doing?" He asked her.
"You shouldn't smoke." She told him.
"Ok..." Koga said as he took it back from her and threw it over the side.
"You better not light another one." She told him as she walked back inside. He sighed and followed her in and they both saw Inuyasha walk into the bathroom. Koga sighed as he now knew why Inuyasha didn't want him to tell. He chuckled when he figured Inuyasha was probably going to brush his teeth and everything just so no one would find out. Kagome walked over to the pool room and found Sango with her feet in the jacuzzi. "What are you doing?" She asked as she walked over.
"Filling out this form. We need to right the name of the songs and stuff." Sango told her.
"Do we even have names for the songs?" Kagome laughed.
"No that's why I made them up." Sango told her as she laughed also.
"Where's Miroku?" Kagome asked then looked at the door when it opened and Miroku ran in with some trunks on and jumped into the pool.
"AH! Miroku!" Sango yelled when she got wet.
"I just took a shower!" Kagome yelled.
"You should come in, it's not cold. It's actually warm." Miroku told them.
"I don't think so." Kagome told him.
"Once I finish this form." Sango told him. "Nevermind I think it's finished. We just all have to sign at the bottom." She told them. She handed it to Kagome for her to sign it then walked over to the pool and gave Miroku the pen so he could sign it. "Now to find the others." Sango said as she walked out of the room.
"Come on Kagome." Miroku told her.
"Uh, I think i'll pass." Kagome laughed. "I just took a shower." She told him.
"You can take another one. The water is clean. You can take a shower in the morning if you don't want to take another one today." He told her.
"No it's ok." Kagome told him.
"So I have to swim all alone?" He asked sadly.
"I'll go find Koga for you." Kagome told him as she got up and left the room. She found Koga wandering the hall. "Hey Koga there's a room with swimming suits over there, Miroku is in the pool." Kagome told him. "I told him i'd go find you so he's not swimming alone." Kagome laughed.
"Come on let's go." Koga told her.
"I don't think so. That's why I came to find you." She told him. He shrugged and went to the suit room and changed before going into the pool room. Inuyasha walked out of the bathroom and saw Kagome. "Hey if you want to go swimming the guy's are in there already." She told him as she made her way to the room she was in before.
"What are you going to do?" He asked her.
"I don't know. Watch tv or something. I'm not swimming, I just took a shower." She told him as she walked into the room. She closed the door and lied on the bed and a few minutes later Sango walked in the room with a bikini on.
"Come on Kagome." Sango told her.
"No that's ok." Kagome told her.
"Fine, we'll see then." Sango smirked as she walked out then a few minutes later there was a knock at the door.
"Sango i'm not going!" Kagome yelled.
"It's me Miroku. I need to get something out of there." He told her. She got off the bed and walked over to the door but hesitated at first when she heard whispering from him. She opened the door and Miroku was standing there
with Sango leaning against the wall beside the door.
"I told you, you'd go." Sango smirked.
"What did you do threaten him to come ask me to go swimming?" Kagome asked her.
"Something like that." Sango smirked and then looked at Miroku and he walked into the room.
"Sorry Kagome." He said and picked her up and carried her to the room with the bathing suits.
"Hey! Put me down!" Kagome complained. Inuyasha walked out of the other room with some trunks on and looked at them oddly. "I am going to kill you if you throw me in that water!" Kagome yelled.
"Not what we're going to do. I'm not that mean." Sango smirked as Miroku put her down inside the suit room. "You can change into a suit or I could get one of the guys to do it for you." She said and closed the door. Kagome leaned back against the shelf and crossed her arms and waited a few minutes and she heard talking outside the door but couldn't make out what they were saying then she heard a door close and figured it was to the pool room. She slowly opened the door and saw Inuyasha standing there.
"Oh it's just you." She said and walked out.
"No, I was told to make sure you change into a suit." He smirked as he blocked her way out.
"What! You too?" She asked and went back in. "FINE SANGO!" She yelled then heard Sango laugh. She closed the door and started taking her clothes off. Inuyasha looked at the door oddly as he heard Kagome mumbling something.
"Talking to yourself?" He asked since he couldn't understand what she was saying.
"Yes!" She yelled and threw the door open hoping it would hit him. He jumped back in time and watched the door hit the wall. "Damn I missed." She sighed. He looked over at her with a glare which was quickly replaced as he looked at her wide eyed as she turned and walked toward the pool room. She stopped then went back into the room and grabbed the shirt she was wearing which is one of Inuyasha's shirts and pulled it over. She looked up at him as he looked away. "Hey if you tell Sango that I locked myself in the bathroom then i'll...uhh..." She said but couldn't think of what she'd do.
"You know how dangerous it is to lie to Sango? To bad, I was told to get you in there any way possible or else." He told her. "Would you like to walk in there or am I going to have to carry you?" He asked her. She looked him up and down trying to figure if he would be able to carry her and realized he probably could and regretted looking at him when she couldn't look away and instead looked up at his face so he wouldn't catch her starring. "Yes I can carry you." He answered her unasked question. She groaned and turned and walked into the pool room and sat on one of the beach chairs that were in there.
"I'm here, I have a suit on. You can't do anything to me anymore." Kagome told them as she closed her eyes while she lied back on the chair. Inuyasha walked in behind her and shrugged. Sango pointed to Kagome and then the water. Inuyasha smirked and nodded, he walked over to Kagome. She noticed the shadow over her and looked up at Inuyasha. "What?" She asked. He reached down and picked her up bridal style. "What are you doing!" She asked. He walked over to the deep end of the very huge pool and tossed her in. "WHAT THE-..." She started but was cut off when she fell underwater. Inuyasha jumped in after throwing her in.
"Good job." Sango hi fived him.
"Now move out of my way before she decides to kill me." Inuyasha said as he made his way to the other side. Kagome came up from under water soaking wet and calmly walked out of the pool and left the room.
"Is she mad?" Sango asked. She looked at the door Kagome slammed and was going to go find her but stopped when she came back in with a bucket in her hand. "Kagome! Your back! What's th..." Sango started but was cut off when Kagome dumped the bucket of ice cold water over her. "Kagome!" Sango yelled as she shivered.
"I'll be back." Kagome smiled as she walked out with her bucket.
"Oh shit." Inuyasha said as he hurried and got out of the pool. "Miroku she's probably coming for you too." Inuyasha warned him.
"Dammit." Miroku said as he too hurried and got out of the pool.
"Balcony!" Inuyasha said as he looked over to the balcony. When you went out on the balcony you could enter the 'living room', the pool room and the work out room. Miroku nodded as they went out to the balcony.
"Serves you right." Koga smirked as Sango was shivering trying to get warm.
"Shut up." Sango said simply. "Don't worry you'll have what's coming to you." She assured him. Kagome walked back in with the bucket now.
"Where are they?" Kagome asked Sango.
"Balcony." Sango answered as she got out of the pool.
"You sold them out just like that?" Koga asked Sango.
"Hell yeah. If I get cold water dumped on me then they should too." Sango said as she walked over to the jacuzzi and slowly got in. She looked to the side when both boys ran back into the pool room from the hallway door. "Picture that, two twenty-five year old guys running around like children." Sango smirked.
"Yes but you still love me." Miroku said as he ran out to the balcony with Inuyasha.
"HOLY SHIT!" Inuyasha yelled.
"That's fucking cold!" Miroku yelled as both boys walked back into the pool room and jumped into the jacuzzi.
"Ah! Fucking hot!" Inuyasha yelled as him and Miroku both jumped out and jumped into the pool. Kagome walked in from the balcony with a smile.
"That's what you get." Kagome smiled as she crossed her arms. She looked at the door when someone knocked at the door. Kagome panicked and jumped into the pool as both boys surfaced giving her evil looks but then looked over at the door.
"Come in!" Sango yelled.
"Ah there you are. No one answered the front door." Shiro said as he walked in. "Well i'm glad your all enjoying yourselves." Shiro chuckled.
"Yes, we are. Thank you for the room...or floor." Sango corrected herself.
"It's no problem, I was wondering if I could speak to you Kagome." Shiro told her.
"Uhh...ok...one second." Kagome said as he went out into the hallway. "Sango...will you go with me?" Kagome whispered as she got out of the pool.
"Umm...ok..." Sango said as she got out of the jacuzzi.
"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Nothing...I just don't want to go...by myself." Kagome said realizing that might have sounded bad. "I just want Sango to go with me." She shrugged as she got up. Sango grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her as Kagome did the same even though she had a t-shirt on. They both walked out of the room and closed the door. Miroku got up and went over to the door.
"What are you doing?" Koga asked him.
"Just curious." Miroku said with his ear to the door.
"You mean nosey." Inuyasha corrected him. Miroku just shrugged.
"Well somethings bothering Kagome. Just curious." Miroku told him.
"What did you want to talk about?" Kagome asked him when she closed the door.
"Well I wanted to speak to you alone." Shiro said and looked at Sango.
"Oh don't worry i'm Kagome's friend, you can say whatever." Sango smiled.
"Well I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner so we could catch up." Shiro smiled. Kagome forced a smile to her face to cover her panick and looked voer at Sango.
"Actually I was hoping to have dinner with my friends. We're still practicing with our music. I'm sorry." Kagome apologized.
"Oh then maybe another time." Shiro nodded.
"Maybe, if I have time." Kagome smiled. He nodded and walked away.
"Have good night you guys." He called out. "Oh yes, whatever you want here is on the house. Don't worry about anything." Said before walking out.
"He just asked her out." Miroku reported as he heard it. "...and...she just turned him down. She said she wanted to eat dinner with us...that we needed to practice our music...we don't have to practice music." Miroku said after he though about it. Inuyasha got up and walked over to the door now curious. "That Shiro guy left now Sango and Kagome are talking." Miroku told them. Inuyasha stood over Miroku as he listened.
"Why'd you turn him down?" Sango asked her curiously.
"Cause I'd rather stay with you guys." Kagome smiled.
"No you wouldn't." Sango laughed. "You just dumped cold water on me." Sango told her. Kagome sighed as she looked down.
"I don't...like him..." Kagome told her.
"Why not? It's just dinner as friends. Just so you can talk to him." Sango shrugged.
"Ya, well I don't want to go with him. I don't like him for the same reason I broke up with him." Kagome told her. Now all three boys were on the other side of the door listening in.
"Why'd you even break up with him? He seems ok. He's not that bad looking either...not hot or anything but pretty good looking." She smirked.
"Cause he's a fucking pervert." Kagome told her.
"Oh...well...it can't be that bad." Sango shrugged.
"Yes it is." Kagome sighed.
"Well he can't be worse then Miroku." Sango joked still trying to lighten her mood.
"Trust me, he probably is. I just don't really...like being around him." Kagome said seriously.
"Damn...worse then Miroku?...that's crazy...I didn't think anyone was worse then Miroku." Sango muttered.
"What!" Miroku asked in a loud whisper.
"Shut up!" Two other loud whispers were heard.
"And behind door number one!" Sango said before opening the door to let Miroku fall forward as the other two jumped back and fell back in the pool. "Talk about nosey." Sango said as she shook her head with her arms crossed. Koga and Inuyasha surfaced from the water trying to catch their breaths not expecting they would fall in the pool. "Now what do you have to say for yourselves?" Sango asked as Kagome was shocked that they heard everything she said.
"We were just worried." Miroku told her. "Kagome didn't sound like herself."
"He started it!" Koga said pointing over at Miroku. "He was the one sitting by the door and telling us what was going on then we just got...curious." Koga explained. Miroku glarred at him for telling.
"Well everythings ok so stop being so nosey." Sango told them.
"Wait what did you mean worse then me? I'm not that bad." Miroku told her.
"I was just making a point. Yes you are bad." Sango told him.
"I've never freaked you out so much." Miroku told her referring to how Kagome seemed scared. Kagome brought her hand over her eyes not believeing what she was hearing.
"I'm going to...the room." Kagome said as she turned and walked down the hall.
"Way to go." Sango told him as she turned and followed Kagome but stopped. "One of you listen in you wont be able to see the contest." Sango threatened.
"You weren't supposed to get us caught." Koga told Miroku.
"Ya and you weren't supposed to rat me out." Miroku told him. Inuyasha was still standing there trying to figure out why she'd be so scared from this guy. He didn't seem to be how she said he was, although she did know him better.
"Is there any food around here?" Koga asked. "Starting to get hungry."
"Ya no kidding it's getting late." Miroku said as he got up. "Let's go see if there's any food here. I saw a room with a table and kitchen type room." Miroku told them as he walked down the hall.
"Table and kitchen type room? Wow." Inuyasha said as he got out of the pool and wrapped a towel around his waste.
"Well as long as there's food." Koga said as he did the same. Inuyasha looked over at the room the girl's were in before walking into the 'dining room'.
"Well at least we know they care about you." Sango shrugged as she looked over at Kagome who was lying on her stomach while she watched tv. They had both changed into pants and a shirt.
"I know...it just feels wierd that they know and all." Kagome sighed.
"Ya but did you actually think they cared so much to spy to see what was bothering you?" Sango asked.
"Ya actually that is wierd. I didn't know they cared that much." Kagome smiled.
"See, it's not so bad here with us." Sango smirked.
"I never said it was bad. I love being here. It's so fun." Kagome laughed but then stopped when she smelled something. "What is that?" She asked.
"I don't know...is something burning?" Sango asked as they both rushed out of the room and looked around the hallway to try and figure out which room they were in then one of the doors opened and Miroku came out coughing. "What's going on!" Sango asked as she rushed over. Kagome ran in and saw both Inuyasha and Koga waving towels in front of the oven.
"What did ya'll do!" Kagome asked as she ran and got the fire extinguisher. Koga took it from her and tried to figure out how to work it. "Let me have that." Kagome said as she took it back and started spraying the over.
"I don't think I want to eat that anymore." Miroku said as he came over to look inside the oven.
"What were ya'll making?" Sango asked.
"We found some hot dog singles in the fridge...we were hungry." Koga shrugged.
"So you put it in alluminum foil!" Sango asked when she looked inside the oven.
"Umm...is that bad?" Miroku asked.
"Apparently!" Sango yelled.
"Hey it's ok...let's just order out or something." Kagome suggested as she walked over to the phone. "What do you guys want?" She asked.
"What do they have?" Sango asked as she walked over.
"I don't know...here's a menu." Kagome said as she picked it up from the table. "Oh wow...umm...I now hate nice hotels..." Kagome said as she looked through the menu. "Sushi anyone?" She asked as she looked at them with a grossed out look.
"I don't eat anything that hasn't been cooked." Sango said.
"Same here." Inuyasha agreed.
"Hey let's order some chicken or something." Kagome said as she put the menu down.
"Yes, let's go that. 'Popeye's'?" Koga asked.
"Sounds good to me." Kagome said as she picked up the phone book and looked up popeyes to leave an order. "Who wants to go get it?" Kagome asked but nobody answered. "It's being delivered down in the lobby." She told them.
"Oh ok." Sango smiled.
"Damn...lazy bunch of people." Kagome smirked.
"Ya...that about covers it." Miroku said as he sat at one of the chairs at the table.
"How about a game of cards?" Koga asked after looking through the drawer next to the phone.
"I'm in." Sango said as she took a seat next to Miroku at the table.
"I'll watch cause i'm going to go down and get the food soon." Kagome said.
"I'll play." Inuyasha said as he sat. "What are we playing?" He asked.
"Poker?" Koga asked.
"We have no money...it's kind of pointless when we don't bet money." Miroku said. "Unless...we could always play strip poker." Miroku grinned.
"Out of three guys and one girl?" Koga asked.
"Kagome?" Miroku grinned.
"I'm not playing strip poker." She said simply.
"Then i'm out of ideas." Miroku sighed.
"Go Fish?" Sango asked.
"Are you serious?" Miroku asked.
"Well ya'll arn't saying anything." Sango shrugged.
"BS?" Inuyasha asked.
"Sure." Koga shrugged as he dealt out the cards.
"I don't...know how to play BS." Sango told them.
"You just lay down the cards that your supposed and you can try to lie and hope no one catches you." Miroku explained.
"Ok...I can do this." Sango smirked.
They were half way into the game when Inuyasha's turn came up. He glarred over at Sango and lied down his cards.
"Four aces." He said as he lied down the last of his cards.
"BS!" Sango yelled.
"Nope, for once. There are four aces in there." Inuyasha smirked as he sat back with his arms crossed.
"Dammit." Sango mumbled as she picked up the stack of cards.
"Well maybe you should stop calling BS on me." Inuyasha told her.
"Shut up." Sango mumbled.
"Hey i'm going down to wait for the food now." Kagome laughed as she walked over to the door.
"Wait up, i'll go with you." Inuyasha said as he got up and grabbed a t-shirt and put it on.
"Ya your just running away! I would so beat you if you played again!" Sango yelled.
"Right, keep dreaming. I'm just to good." He smirked as he followed Kagome out.
"Whatever!" Sango yelled before he was gone.
"You sure are cocky." Kagome laughed.
"No I am confident." He smirked.
"Same difference." She shrugged.
"No, there's a difference trust me." He told her as they walked into the elevator.
"Ya sure." She said as she pushed the button to the bottom floor. They were quiet until they reached the bottom floor and they walked into the lobby and sat down on one of the couches out there. "Can I ask you something?"
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"Why did you and the others look at me wierd when you found out my last name?" She asked curiously.
"Oh...uhh...it's probably nothing. They just need help." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Inuyasha you looked at me wierdly too." She told him. He looked down trying not to look her in the eyes.
"I don't know. I guess we just heard your name before." He told her.
"Can you tell me how?" She asked him.
"I don't think so. Listen i'm going to go back up." He said as he stood up.
"Wait! How do you know my name? Your hiding something." She told him as she pulled him to sit back down next to her.
"Kagome...I don't think yo-..." He started.
"You don't know what I think. Why don't you just tell me. Is it something that bad?" She asked him.
"You really want to know?" He asked her. She nodded and he finally looked up at her. "Your...we know your dad." He told her. She looked at him wide eyed not knowing what to say. He sighed and looked back down knowing he shouldn't have told her. "Your dad was in the same gang we were in. He was one of the best you know..." He said.
"But your..." She started but stopped while trying to figure out everything.
"He looked after us. He was older, we know. That's how long ago we were in the gang. He didn't like that we were involved in a gang but when he couldn't persuede us to leave he just watched out for us." Inuyasha explained.
"That's not...that's not true. He was never in a gang." Kagome told him. Inuyasha looked up at her and nodded. She looked so confused, she didn't know he was in a gang and he felt bad to have to be the one to tell her.
"Ya...he was. He always said we were always going to be safe cause he had a wonderful family to go home to so he wouldn't die. He was always so sure of himself." Inuyasha explained. "Your dad was always there for us, he was the one who persueded Sango and Shippo to quit but me, Miroku and Koga were to hard headed and we stayed and wanted to fight along side with him. He's the reason we worked so hard to get so good at what we do. Your dad wasn't bad or anything for being in a gang and all." Inuyasha told her.
"I know but..." Kagome started and looked at the floor. She held her necklace in her hand that she always wore. She didn't know what to say to this. All this time she was told other things and finally she hears the truth from a guy that she had recently met. He moved her hand and held the jewel that was on her necklace.
"The Shikon Jewel, he was intrusted with this. He never wore it though, he always said that the person who wore it should be as beautiful as the jewel itself. Hmm...how right he was." He told her. She blushed and looked up at him. He could see the unshed tears in her eyes that were threatening to fall.
"The shikon jewel? I thought it had dissapeared a long time ago?" She asked him.
"It did but it reappeared when the most powerful miko was born. Your dad kept it safe until that miko was old enough to protect it." He told her. "I guess he thought you were old enough."
"What?" She asked as she looked at him in surprise. "What do you mean me?" She asked him. "I'm not a miko."
"Yes you are...you've just never had to use your powers. The shikon jewel is a legend, it was always said that it would reappear when the most powerful miko was born and your dad kept it safe for you until he thought you could handle it. He died before he could tell you about it." He told her. She shook her head as tears began to fall.
"No he didn't. There's this story my mom used to tell me when I was little. About a priestess. She said my dad left the story just for me. I never thought it was real." She said trying to wipe away her tears. Inuyasha pulled her into a hug and patted her back. "It's not fair." She whispered.
"I know. It's ok." He told her then looked up to see their food had arrived. "Come on." He told her as he got up and got out his wallet.
"Oh ya, I would've fogotten to bring money." She said as she wiped away her tears. He held his hand out to her and she took it as they walked over. He was surprised when she didn't let go of his hand. He paid for the food and looked as they guy left the hotel and noticed how dark it was getting since they been down. His eyes widened and he froze when he felt himself pulsate.
"Tonight's the new moon?" He asked quickly.
"Uhh...I think so...why?" Kagome asked when he seemed panicked.
"Shit!" He yelled and pulled her to the elevator and started cursing when the elevator was taking long.
"Inuyasha what's wrong?" She asked him. She looked at him worriedly but once the elevator door opened she was pulled in and he quickly pressed the button to close the doors. "Inuyasha?" She asked when he stood in the corner and was looking at the floor. She went wide eyed when his dog ears dissapeared and his hair turned black. She backed up to the other side of the elevator as she looked at him with a shocked expression.
"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome stuttered.
...tbc...
