Chapter 5: Meeting Kikyo and the swimming race.

The next day Kagome woke u pretty early; she went to brush her teeth and then had a nice early shower to wake her up as she usually did. Then, she got dressed and went downstairs to do her shift.

It was about half an hour later, when Miroku came with nothing but a red mark across his face. Kagome sighed and shook her head in shame. 'Trying to hit on another girl?' Kagome asked even though she already knew her answer.

'Err…yeh,' he replied as he went in to the change rooms to get dress.

It wasn't till 10 am till they were allowed to go. Kagome was exhausted and was going to go swimming. She went to get changed into her swimmers and grabbed a towel as she left her room. She thought she would invite Sango too along with Inuyasha; she didn't bother inviting Miroku for he had such perverted thoughts. She seemed to want to know Inuyasha more after the talk with Sango about him.

After a while, she finally found Sango and Inuyasha sitting and chatting.

'Sango, Inuyasha,' she said as she ran towards them, with a big smile on her face.

'Hi Kagome,' Sango replied with a smile on her face too. Inuyasha just gave a little wave.

'I was wondering if you would like to go have a swim with me,' she asked the two.

'We would love to,' Sango replied. Inuyasha just nodded as they both stood up. They all walked to the swimming pool after they had put on their swimming costumes. It wasn't long before they arrived. It was huge and the water sparkled, there was no one there which made the three relieved.

'Can I have a race with you Sango?' Kagome asked as she took of her towel. Her swimming costume was a two piece. Her top was a halter bra and her bottom was shorts which matched her top perfectly. Her slim body sparkled as she made contact with the water. Kagome was beautiful and you had to admit she would look good as a model.

'Sure, why not,' sango replied as she entered the water. She was wearing a one piece which fit her body perfectly, she was also beautiful. As Inuyasha said go, they sped in the water. Sango was in the lead for a while, before Kagome headed in front of her winning by a lot.

'Good swim,' Kagome said happily.

'Yeh, I have to admit, you are pretty good at swimming,' she said complimenting her friend, 'why don't you and Inuyasha have a race.'

They both turned to face Inuyasha, he just nodded before saying, 'and don't cry if you lose!' he said smirking.

'Don't be so sure,' she said having another staring contest with Inuyasha.

'How about I go have a race for you, darling,' said the girl standing at the door. 'Not her again,' Sango and Inuyasha said. Kagome was lost.

'Um…can someone tell me who she is?' Kagome asked totally lost.

'Allow me to introduce myself, I am Kikyo, Inuyasha's soon to be wife…' Kikyo said, she was cut short when Kagome said something.

'Just get to the point,' she said looking at the girl, you could tell she was getting bored.

'Just stay away from Inuyasha,' she said giving death glares at the girl standing before her.

'I CAN GO WITH WHO EVER I WANT KIKYO, SO STAY OUT OF MY LIFE,' Inuyasha shouted angrily.

'But…' she began, 'Can I at least have a swimming race with her?'

'Fine!' Inuyasha said controlling his anger.

They both got in their starting position getting ready to jump in and swim when they heard the word 'go'.

'GO!' said Sango, practically screaming so they could hear.

Kagome and Kikyo dived for it and began swimming. Kikyo was leading and was very proud of herself before Kagome caught up and practically swam in front of her with no pressure what so ever. It wasn't long till Kagome finished.

Inuyasha smirked at this, and looked at the fuming Kikyo.

'It's not over!' she said as she got out of the pool and got her towel. It wasn't long before she left.

Sango began cheering and shouting happily for she was content with the look on Kikyo's face. The rest of the afternoon was spent on playing and splashing around.

It wasn't long before Kagome got out and sat next to Inuyasha. Sango had gone out because she had to get something from her room, leaving the two alone.

'So…where do you come from?' Kagome asked trying to make a conversation.

'Feh,' was all he said.

'You could at least say something, you don't have to be that cold do you?' she said ticking off.

'Hi,' he said still cold.

'Anyways, I would like to know more about you,' she said in her happy tone.

'Well, I have a brother and a mother and a father,' he said staring into her eyes.

'Do you like someone?' she asked rather suddenly.

'Why do you ask?' he asked as he smirked. Kagome blushed and turned away which caused her to blush even more.

'I was just wondering, and besides you asked me before, so it gives me the right to ask you too!' she said professionally.

'Fine, I don't like anyone,' he said rather frustrated.

'I heard about you having an arranged marriage and how you didn't like it,' she said sadly, 'I feel sorry for you!'

'You should be' he said as he stomped off.

'What's his problem?' she said as she walked after him.

'Hey wait up,' she cried running up to him, to catch up. She wasn't watching where she was going and tripped, falling into Inuyasha.

'Ow,' she said as she got up. She looked into Inuyasha's eyes for a while before looking down at her position. Seeing herself lying on top of him. She quickly got up and blushed.

'Watch where you're going wrench!' shouted Inuyasha, getting up and walking away.
