Four hours, two WacDonalds stops and one bathroom break later, Kags, Sango, Kouga and Ginta were at Kouga's beach house. "Okay, I need a swim. Sango, you coming' with?" Kagome said. "Oh yea! Guys? How 'bout you?" "Yea, why not?" Kouga said. "I guess." Ginta replied, only half awake.
Kagome and Sango came down from their room looking stunning. Kagome was wearing a black bikini with red skulls on it and had a matching black towel tied around her waist. Sango was wearing a brown and pink tankini with a pink towel wrapped around her waist. And let me tell you, at the sight of Sango, Ginta was 100 percent awake.
As the group of four walked towards the beach Kagome's cell phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Inuyasha.
Kagome: Ello.
Inuyasha: Hey, we're going to be by dock 17. Okay, we're here.
Kagome: Okay. Byes.
Inuyasha: Love you. Bye
"Sango, wanna go to the dock?" Kagome asked. "Yea! I'll race ya!" Sango said already starting to run. The girls got to the dock at the same time and bumped into their men. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Inuyasha said as he picked Kagome up. "Hmm, I-D-K. Just someone who loooooves yew." Kagome giggled as Inuyasha took off her towel and jumped unto the ocean with her. "Shall we?" Miroku asked, holding out his arm. "We shall." Sango took his arm and jumped in with him.
When they were all above water, they started a splash war, Kagome and Inuyasha vs. Sango and Miroku. As the laughter got louder Kouga and Ginta followed it to find Inuyasha and Kagome defeating Miroku and Sango in their splash fight. "Uhm. Hey Inuyasha, how did you get here?" Kouga said annoyed. "Oh hey Kouga! Me and Miroku are staying at my mom's beach house. We didn't know you four would be here too. I hope you were taking good care of my girl while she was away from me." Inuyasha said holding onto Kagome possessively. "Uh, I have no clue who YOUR girl is. But, I'm taking excellent care of MY Kagome." Kouga replied with a smug attitude. "Kouga, incase you didn't notice. Me and Inuyasha are going out. We're boyfriend-girlfriend." "Wh-wha-WHAT?! I'VE KNOWN YOU FOR ALMOST ALL OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU STILL CHOOSE SOME DIRTY HALF-BREED?! Wouldn't you rather have a purebred wolf demon?!!" Kouga screamed.
"Uhm. Lemme think..." Kagome looked like she was actually thinking about it, and that made Inuyasha's heart sink. "Oh.., what are the right words to explain this lightly..." Inuyasha knew what was coming next, and his ears were pinned against his head, he knew this was the end for him and Kagome. "Oh yea, NO EFFIN WAY!!" Kagome screamed. "You're kidding right? I love you Kagome Higurashi! I always have and I always will." Kouga proclaimed something the other 5 had already known for quite some time. "Well. Inuyasha Takahashi, I love yew. I always have, always will, and nothing will tear us apart." Kagome said as she nuzzled into his chest. "I love you, too Kagome." Inuyasha said as he kissed the top of her head. "Inuyasha, I'll kill you!" Kouga said as he launched forward, and just as soon as he left the ground, a barrier went up around the two. Luckily for Kouga he bounced back and only touched it for a fraction of a second. He could have been purified from anything longer than that. "Kagome! You used your miko powers against me?" Kouga said, his eyes filling with tears. "I had to! I'm not going to just let you try and harm Inuyasha. I love him to much." Kagome said and then she kissed Inuyasha.
That did it. That single kiss. It tore his heart apart. He would never love again. Tears came falling down his cheeks as he sped off to the beach house with Ginta heading toward town, heartbroken from Sango's apparent love for Miroku. "Maybe I should go talk to him." Kagome offered. "No, I'll talk to him, Kagsi." Sango told her. "You sure?" Kagome asked. "Yea, he just needs a friend right now, a shoulder to cry on, and I don't think you're that friend Kags. Sorries." Sango said as she walked off with her towel wrapped around her.
"Kouga? (knocks on door) Are you there?" Sango asks with a concern in her voice. Kouga opens his bedroom door with tears streaming down his face. He looks up at her and hugs her. "Sango, (sniffle) why doesn't she love (sniffle) me like she (sniffle) loves Inuyasha?" Kouga cried onto her shoulder. "Shh, shh. You'll find someone new. I know Kaugra from chem. class likes you, and so do Eri and Yuri." Sango was hoping this was comforting him but it only made him cry harder. "But Sango. (Sniffle) I (sob) love Kagome. I don't want (sob) anyone else." Kouga pulled away from Sango. "Kouga, we all know you love Kagsi, but if you love someone the best thing you can do for them is support their decisions and it should make you happy that their happy." Sango looked straight into Kouga's eyes. "I know, but I can't let go of Kagome. I just (sob) can't." "Koug, you have to. Kagome's fallen in love. How about, when we get back to school on Monday, I'll help you get back into your groove, okay?" "Thanks Sango. But I think I'm going to stay home next week. You should probably get back to Miroku and Ginta since they're probably fighting over you right about now." Kouga said as the tears finally stopped flowing. Kouga hugged Sango.
Just then, Ginta came in and saw them. "You ass wipe! You told me you liked Kags, not Sango!" Ginta said as tears started to stream down his face. "It's bad enough I lost her to that monk, but my best friend too?" Ginta said as he ran up the stairs to his room. "I'm sorry Kouga, I didn't mean to come in between you and Ginta. I should go. I'll just go get mine and Kags' stuff and we'll both be out of your hair.'' Sango trugged up the stairs and into her room.
On her bed was her bag that she had brought for the weekend. But what was that pinned to it? A note? From who? Sango walked over to her bag and took off the note.
Dearest Sango,
I'm in love with you, but you're to good for me. I've decided that if I can't have you, I don't want anyone else. I love you Sango, and without your love, I'd die. Please never forget me.
With all the love in my heart,
~Ginta
P.S. Tell Kouga that I leave him all of my personal possessions except for my Black Book. That's for you. Don't show anyone it, please. Those words are my heart, mind and soul. And I never wanted anyone but you to have any of those three. I love you Sango.
"KOUGA!!!!!!!!!" Sango screamed at the top of her lungs. Kouga came up the stairs in one swift jump. "What is it Sango? Where...Where's Ginta?" Kouga looked franticly but couldn't find him. Sango's cheeks were sopping wet with tears. "Read this." Sango handed him Ginta's note. There was a single tear running down Kouga's cheek. "We have to stop him. He's my best friend. He's more of a brother to me than Hikana ever was and ever will be. Call him! Call him now! We have to stop him." Sango called Ginta.
Ginta:Hello?
Sango: Ginta, you have to wait for us. Where are you?
Ginta: I can't tell you. I need to do this.
Sango: (she's crying now) Ginta, please. Please just tell me where you are.
Ginta: Sango, are you alright?
Sango: Am I alright?! AM I ALRIGHT?! One of my best friends left me a suicide letter and he's asking ME if I'M alright? Ginta, why? Where are you? I need to talk to you.
Ginta: Okay. Okay, I'm at the beach. Dock 19.
Sango: Okay, me and Kouga will be there in about fifteen minutes. Okay?
Ginta: No, don't bring Kouga. He'll kill me for this.
Sango: Okay, I'll be there soon.
Ginta: I love you. Bye.
Then Ginta hung up. "Well?! Where is he? We need to go save him!!" Kouga was frantic. "He... he doesn't want you to come. He said not to bring you." Sango said with a hint of regret in her voice. "What?!? I'm his best friend." Kouga said. "I'm sorry." Sango said and ran down the stairs.
About 10 minutes later Sango was at dock 19. "Ginta?" Sango looked around. She spotted him sitting at the end of the dock. "Ginta!" Sango ran over to him, sat down beside him, and hugged him. "Ginta, never scare me like that again. Please." Sango had tears running down her face. "I'm sorry Sango. But seeing you with Kouga broke my heart even more. He's my best friend, ya know? And seeing him hugging the girl I love, it hurt." There was a single tear that was running down Ginta's face, and Sango wiped it away. "Ginta, me and Kouga are just friends. I never liked him. But, do you want to know a secret?" Sango asked shyly. "Sure." Ginta said, looking at her with such care and that was so comforting to Sango, it made her heart melt. "I fell in love with you when we were in Kindergarden. But, I never really thought you liked me, that's when Miroku came in." "That's crazy talk. I always showed you how much I cared!" Ginta replied, with hurt in his voice. "Yes. But one day in second grade you called me your sister and it shattered my heart. Miroku was the one who helped me put the pieces back together." Sango explained with tears running down her cheeks. "Oh Sango. I'm so sorry." Ginta said hugging Sango. "I never meant to hurt you, I was young and stupid and unaware of the world of girls. I fell in love with you as soon as I met you, in Pre-K." Ginta said as he cried into Sango's hair.
"Ginta, what happened to us? We used to hang out all the time now I only see you at school and we barely talk then. I miss you." Sango stared into Ginta's eyes. "I miss you too, Rei." Ginta lightly brushed his lips against Sango's but then he leaned back. "Im sorry, I know your with Miroku and I respect that." Sango was shocked he remembered her childhood nickname, she hadn't heard it in so long because she wouldn't let anyone else call her it except Ginta. "Don't be sorry." Sango took his head in her hands and kissed him. "Wow." They both said at once. "Sango, what about Miroku?" "I don't know. But I couldn't stand to lose you again. Not now, not ever." Sango hugged Ginta. "I promise, you'll never lose me again. But, I'm not going to let you break Miroku's heart. I've been on that end and it sucks ass. But, maybe I could hang with you, Miroku, Kags and Inuyasha more often?" Ginta said. "I'd like that." Sango said.
"I wouldn't." Came another male voice from behind them. Sango gasped when she saw Miroku there, crying. He was the first guy to ever shed his tears for her, back then they were in second grade. "Miroku... I..." Sango started. "Save it Sango. I saw you kiss him. I love you." Miroku said as he took out a knife and held it to his wrist. "Miroku no! Please." Sango was crying again. "Now I understand why you wouldn't let me call you Rei, you are still in love with Ginta aren't you?" Miroku yelled. "Miroku... I love Ginta-" "Why!? What does he have that I don't?" Miroku yelled as he pressed the blade hard against his skin. "Are you going to let me finish?" "Why should I!?" "BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!" Sango basically screamed at the top of her lungs.
Miroku threw the knife into the ocean. "Sango." Ginta whispered. "But, I can't take this anymore! Ginta, you were going to fucking KILL yourself because I hugged my friend. And Miroku... my dear Miroku..." Sango said walking towards him. "You were going to cut your wrist because of an old flame. I can't deal with suicidals today. I'm going to Kouga's beach house to get my things. Miroku, I'll see you at Inu's." Sango said, as she walked towards Kouga's. "I guess we're both screwed." Ginta said. "You may be, because you had your chance and let it leave. I'm not letting mine go." Miroku said as he ran off into the direction of Inuyasha's beach house. (A/N: I know I'm focusing on Sango but I don't care. There is plenty of time for Kags.)
About an hour later Kagome and Sango were pigging out on a tub of Ben and Jerry's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. "I can't believe Ginta! For Kami's sake Sango, you need to like change the people you fall in love with! They're crazy!" Kagome giggled. "What about you?! God. Kouga is a fuckin nut job! 'Hey baby girl! Waz crackin?!' I almost crapped myself trying not to laugh at him! Anyway, the only two guys I love right now are Ben and Jerry." Sango laughed. "Yea, well I didn't fall in love with HIM. HE fell in love with ME." Kagome said in her defense, still laughing. "Hey babe, what'd I miss?" Inuyasha said as he put down the groceries on the table. "Nothing much, Sango hugged Kouga, Ginta saw, almost killed himself, Sango kissed Ginta, Miroku saw, Miroku almost cut his wrist, Sango screamed that she was in love with Miroku and then came home. Yep, pretty normal day." Kagome said trying not to laugh. "If THAT'S normal, then I NEVER wanna see your weird days." Inuyasha said to Sango with a smile on his face. "Mmmhmm. And you never wanna see her bad hair days either. She's a NIGHTMARE!!" Kagome said running around the living from, with her twin close behind her. "I'll kill you!!" Sango said laughing. Inuyasha sighed and shook his head. "Women."
After about fifteen minutes of Sango chasing Kagome, they fell on the couch laughing. "Kags, you're gonna be the death of me." Inuyasha said. "Oops. My bad." Kagome said, realizing she fell on him. "So, how about the three of us go out for dinner tonight?" Sango offered, hoping to get away from the drama. "What about Miroku?" Kagome said. "Speaking of Roku, where is he?" Inuyasha asked, mostly to Sango. "How should I know? Last time I saw him he was with Ginta." Sango said to her defense. "Seen who?" Miroku asked, walking in the door. "Uh, you. Dude, where've you been?" Inuyasha asked. "Places. No where special." Miroku said and then shrugged at he sat in the arm chair across from the couch. "Sango, would you please join me outside for a minute? I need to talk to you." Miroku said. "I don't know, are you going to make me watch you suffocate yourself?" Sango said from her current place, which was upside down on the couch. "No, please come with me." Miroku pleaded. "Ok. You've got 20 minutes." Sango said flipping over and patting down her hair.
