Shikon Cruise

Complications and dating

Last time on Shikon Cruise

"Ok you wonderful losers; this is the last song so dance and get out!" Mr. and Mrs. Yamata shouted into the mike.

The student's laughed and all got on the dance floor, they were all partying and some were even drunk.

That night everyone got a great night's rest, all the partying behind them, all had met Sesshomaru and he had said to Kagura that he also got weird vibes from her, but he liked Kagome a lot, she had a little sister vibe going on, and that made Kagura feel a lot better.

Present time

2 days later

It had been 2 days since the party, everyone was resting in Kagome's room, yet Kagome wasn't anywhere to be found.

"Hey you guys know where Kagome is?" Kilala asked.

"Nope." Shippo answered.

"She's probably around here somewhere." Miroku said.

"I'm right here!" Kagome smiled brightly from the doorway, yet her head was down so you couldn't see her eyes.

"Holy shit where were you?!" InuYasha screamed, he was sitting next to Kikyo and Kagome's whole outburst made him jump closer to her.

"I, um…was…uh…nothing." Kagome smiled, hoping to cover it all up.

"Kag…your dad?" Sango asked, she hadn't realized what day it was.

"Uh…yeah…" Kagome said, her eyes were covered with unshed tears, she ran over to Sango and started to cry into her shoulder.

"I-I'm so sorry, I don-don't mean to-to be a…" Kagome was crying sop hard she couldn't talk right.

"Oh my god! We forgot?!" Kilala jumped up, Kikyo was on alert as well.

"How could we?!" Kagura yelled, she was so mad.

"I…we're so sorry Kagome!" Ayame and Kikyo begged.

Kagome was crying so much she didn't know what to say; they hugged her until she finally fell asleep.

After Kagome was put in bed, all the guys hounded the girls for answers.

"Ok what's going on, why was Kagome crying?" Koga asked.

"Yeah what's going up? Is she ok?" InuYasha asked.

"I hope she's ok."

"I've never seen her so depressed." Miroku said.

"Ok shut up!" Kagura yelled, besides Kagome, Kagura had cried a great deal, then Sango.

"K-Kagome…when she lost her father, she was put into such a deep depression, her father and her had a deep connection, that no one could break, not even after death, did you know Kagome still talks to her father late at night? S-she lost someone so dear to her and yet she could still smile, her exact words were…'I smile because my father said he loved my smile'…she loved him so much." Kagura's eyes were starting to tear up.

"Kagura…" Kilala hugged her.

"Huh?" Was the only thing Koga could ask, why was Kagura crying?

Ayame looked at Kagura and Kagura nodded.

"Kagura was…beaten as a child, so when she got all bruised up, she'd go to Kagome, and Kagome's dad would always help her out, soon Kagura was over at Kagome's everyday she was like Kagome's sister. It was just as hard when Kagome's dad died." Ayame said, they were all depressed.

"When I was young, my dad abandoned me, and my mom was thrown into depression, she soon died after that and I'm living with my aunt and uncle." Shippo said in one deep breathe, they all looked at him with shock filled eyes.

"I thought that if you all saw that maybe someone's life was like yours too, you'd all be a little happier."

"Shippo…you're so right!" Kilala smiled, she opened her arms and told Shippo to come over he walked over and she hugged him.

"Ok so My mom left me and my dad when I was 12, I later found out that she was killed in a car accident." Koga said, he walked over and sat beside Shippo who was stilled being hugged by Kilala who was sitting by Kagura who was being hugged by Ayame.

"I didn't have such a bad life, I can't tell you I did." Kikyo said, she sat down by Ayame, Kagura was glaring at her, 'well if you didn't you shouldn't have said anything you son of a …Breathe Kagura breathe.'

"InuYasha, Sesshomaru, you coming in or what?" Kagura smiled; after all of them telling each other what was wrong with their lives, they felt a deeper connection.

"I'm not telling you squat! You lunatics!" InuYasha laughed, though deep down he was just to scared to tell them anything.

"Oh well, come and join us anyways puppy." Kagura laughed at him.

"Hey what? Puppy?!" InuYasha mocked glared.

"Oh deal, come on Sesshomaru sit with us." Kagura smiled up at him, he smiled back and sat in front of her, they were all sitting in front of Kagome's bed, laughing and teasing each other, it was all good, because now they knew a great deal about each other, and they knew that no matter what was to happen, they'd get through it…

Later on

"You suck! I rock! I win! You suck! I rock!" Kagura sang over and over again.

"Shut the hell up." said a now angry Kilala.

"Oh shush you're mad because I won!" Kagura smiled, they had been swimming for the last hour, all of them were wearing there school swim suits. The girls swim suit consisted of a one piece, dark blue, the same for the guys except, swim trunks.

"Kagome, wanna race?" Sango asked, she had a glint in her eyes.

"Actually, Sango, I kind of wanna see Kagome and Kikyo race…if that's ok." Kagura smirked, an evil smirk.

"Um…I don't know." Kagome said with uncertainty.

"Well I'll go for it." Kikyo raised her head, Kagura glared at her, she was so freaking cocky!

"Um…I guess…Why not?" Kagome smiled, she and Kikyo got into ready position at the deck, Kagura yelled go and they raced to the end of the pool and back. They had to do at least 3 laps.

Kikyo started with the lead but by the second lap Kagome scored ahead. Kagome had a determined look on her face, InuYasha smirked, he liked those kinds of girls, but …he liked Kikyo better, still.

The last lap came and Kagome was victorious.

"GO KAGOME!" Kagura yelled, some people yelled at her to shut up and in return she flipped them off. The day was passing pretty fast, the stars were already out but the sky was still a little bit light.

"Thanks! Good swim Kikyo!" Kagome smiled, Kikyo shook her hand, but her face held a bit of annoyance.

"Hey, it's getting a little late, we should head in and get something it eat." Ayame suggested, everyone nodded and turned to leave.

"Kagome, hey? You coming?" Shippo asked.

"I wanna stay out here for a little bit, don't worry I'll be there!" Kagome smiled at them all, her hair was wet, sticking to her body and her eyes were bright.

"Alright, peace, and don't get a cold!" Kagura smiled, as she, non to gently, shoved everyone inside.

Kagome sat out side, the clear, dark blue sky twinkling with stars. Kagome lay on the deck; her eyes searching for something until a shooting star past buy.

"Dear star, please make sure my friends are safe, and my new friends, the guys. I hope that you can grant that wish, whatever happens I hope they are ok, no matter what I really want them to be ok…" Kagome prayed, she smiled and then stood up and went inside.

Unknowingly to her InuYasha had watched the whole thing, he smiled and went to rejoin everyone.

Dinner

"Ok if you guys were going to die tomorrow, what would you want to do before you died?" Ayame asked, they had all been talking for an hour or 2 after dinner.

"Ok well I'd blow off my life's savings at the mall." Kilala laughed, they were all in their sleep wear and were hanging around in Kagome's and Sango's dorm, drinking soda and listening to some music.

"Alright I'd jump off a tall, freaking tall building." Koga said.

"You lunatic, I'd rob a bank." Shippo laughed.

"Ok well I'd…I'd…wear a skirt!" Kagura dramatically said, they all burst out laughing.

"But really…I'd…kill Kikyo, yeah probably kill Kikyo." She smiled like it was nothing; they all stared at her and then Kikyo. Kikyo just shrugged.

"I'd do the same as Shippo." Ayame said.

"Same here." Miroku said "Wait no…I'd go to a strip joint, yeah that sounds about right!" He smiled while Sango hit him.

"I'd try to finish all of my life's goals." Sango smiled while sitting next to 'sleeping' Miroku.

"I'd spend my day with you guys." Kagome smiled.

"Same here!" Kikyo smiled as well, Kagura just glared at her.

"I'd kill Sesshomaru." InuYasha smirked.

"Same her, but replace InuYasha for me." Sesshomaru smirked back.

"Alright, so what do you guys plan to do tomorrow?" Kilala changed the subject.

"Well I hear that Mrs. and Mr. Yamata, are planning to do this whole girls against guys crap, something like maybe a paint ball war? I dunno I rock at paintball tough!" Koga said absently, while InuYasha shook his head no in the background.

"Oh, well that's not fair." Kagura answered.

"Yeah, I mean girls against guys? How unfair." Koga smirk.

"Yeah, I mean that'd be too easy for us." Sango smirked.

"What?! Yeah right! We'd totally win!" InuYasha jumped up.

"What are you talking about, you loser! We girls would kick your skinny little asses!" Kagome jumped in, she was smiling at InuYasha and he smiled back, but then he smiled over at Kikyo.

"Ha! I laugh!" Miroku said in laughter.

"Oh bring it! I bet you a shopping trip that we'd win!" Ayame stood up.

"Ok and we bet a lap dance that we'll win." Miroku screamed.

Everyone went silent and looked at him.

"Ok how about, a day of being slaves for each other whoever wins, that is." Sesshomaru smirked.

"Your on." Kagura smirked right back at him.

The guys and girls were all fired up, but they decided they'd best get some sleep before their big war.

"Ok night guys!" Kagome yelled to everyone, they all said night as well and headed to their different dorm rooms.

InuYasha and Kikyo went onto the deck to talk for a while. Both they were just hanging out mostly laughing about what a weird day it had been, nothing more.

"So, you seem to like Kagome a lot." Kikyo pointed out, her voice was a little rough, like she was forcing that sentence out.

"What? Kagome? No she's cool but not THAT cool." InuYasha laughed… it was partially true, she wasn't that cool….was she?

"Oh that's good." Kikyo smiled brightly, if Kagura had been there she would have probably kicked her ass so far.

"I guess, so you like any of us guys?" InuYasha smirked.

"Well there is this one guy, but I don't know if he likes me, he's really sweet and good looking though…" Kikyo smirked and InuYasha smiled back, he knew she was talking about him.

'Sweet? I'm not that sweet though…does she even know me?'

"Oh really?" asked InuYasha moving closer to Kikyo, she nodded her head and he wrapped an arm around her.

Kikyo leaned against him and then looked up at him.

"Kikyo, I know this is pretty sudden, but would you like to go out sometime?" InuYasha looked down at her, she was a bit taller then he would have thought, he would have liked it better of she was around Kagome's height…

'Kagome…'

"Of course InuYasha, I'd love to." She smiled at him and he smiled back. They both leaned in for a kiss; it was short but sweet…like a lover's first kiss really.

Kikyo smiled at him after and said good night.

"I'll talk to you tomorrow!" Kikyo waved and went inside to her room.

InuYasha smiled and looked up at the sky; the stars were like diamonds against dark black velvet. He smiled up at the sky and walked around the deck for a bit before deciding to go inside and get some rest for tomorrow's big day.

Kagome had seen it all, the kiss the hug…she was so…sad. She didn't think she liked InuYasha until she saw him with someone else….but for that person to be someone like Kikyo?

They didn't seem to fit, but Kagome pushed that feeling away…Kikyo was her friend she didn't want to wish ill thoughts upon her friend, and she did wish for their happiness, so she was happy….right?

A/N: Wow that was pretty short, anyways ok I've been reading a lot of reviews lately and I kind of got a bit upset, and here is why…

"I love you all! See you in the next chapter of Shikon Cruise!"
