Chapter 10:

[Kagome's Point of View]

I woke up to the smell of bacon and I got out of bed, my mouth practically watering. I walked down stairs into the kitchen to see Mom fixing breakfast.

"I see the bacon lured you out of bed," Mom teased as she plucked up the bacon with a fork.

"Sure did," I said, sitting down at the table. Mom turned around and sat a plate in front of me. It was covered in bacon, eggs and toast with grape jelly. I rubbed my hands together before digging in. I stopped mid-bite when a flash suddenly went off.

"Perfect," Souta said, looking at the digital camera in his hands.

"What's perfect?" I asked, taking a bite of my bacon.

"This."

He flipped the camera around to show me a picture of myself gorging into my toast, my mouth wide open and crumbs all over my face.

"Delete that!" I yelled, reaching for the camera.

"No way, this is going to Inuyasha."

"WHAT?"

Souta laughed as he bolted back upstairs. I shot out of my chair and chased after him, only to have his locked bedroom door slammed in my face.

"Souta! Get rid of that freakin picture!" I yelled.

"Nope. Should I put it in a card, or just hand him the picture?" He asked amusedly from inside his room.

"NEITHER!"

The only response was snickering. I groaned and stomped to my room. I walked into my closet and picked out something to wear to the beach today. I settled on a red bikini under a white hooded pullover, a pair of knee-length shorts, and a pair of black flip flops. I threw my hair into a messy ponytail and walked out of my room. I took my phone out of my pocket and checked the time. 12:30. I had 30 minutes to get to Inuyasha's house. I grabbed my bike from the side of the house and hopped on, peddling down the road.

I pulled into Inuyasha's driveway and stopped dead when i found Inuyasha.

K, visual I never want to forget. Inuyasha was mowing the yard in only a pair of cargo pants. His well built body was shining as it trickled with sweat. I shook my head before the drool leaked out.

"Inuyasha!" I called over the lawn mowers motor. Inuyasha messed with something on the lawn mower and turned around. He smiled and waved, walking over to where I was.

"Hey!" He said, leaning over my bike's handle bars. "You didn't bail on me!"

"Why would I?" I asked, getting off my bike. He shrugged.

"Who knows?" He walked to the front door, me trailing behind him. "K, let me change, and we can go, k?" He said, standing in the open door way. I nodded, and then he turned around and walked into his house.

[Inuyasha Point of View]

.

I walked into my room and dug into my dresser. I pulled out a pair of green swim trunks with teal flowers on them. I changed into them and grabbed a towel from the bathroom closet. After I had everything, I walked back outside where Kagome was sitting on the porch steps waiting for me.

"Ready to go?" I asked her. She looked up and me from where she was sitting.

"Yep, let's go."

We both walked to the garage where the cars were. The door rose and we crawled into my car. I threw the towel in the back and pulled out of the driveway. I turned up the radio and we drove down the road.

"So why'd you ask me to come anyway?" Kagome asked.

"Just thought we should hang out."

She nodded and looked out of the window.

"So what are we gonna do at the beach?" She asked.

"Build sand castles, swim, bury you…" I said. She suddenly looked away from the window and at me.

"Hey! You are NOT burying me!" She said, smiling.

"Says who?" I challenged.

"Me." She retorted

"What are you gonna do?"

"I'll run."

"I can catch you."

"I'll scream."

"You wouldn't."

"Wanna try me?" She said, a teasing tone in her voice.

"Sure, why not." I said, smiling. She laughed. At about that time, we pulled into the parking spaces lining the beach. "Ready?" I asked. She nodded and climbed out of the car. I grabbed the towel from the back and got out as well. Kagome was standing by the car, shedding her shorts to reveal a red bikini. My ears perked up and my eyes widened. She kept on the pullover she had on and walked towards the beach. I jogged to catch up with her and when I did, her scent and the beach air mingled together and it was the best thing I'd ever smelt.

So there was a hot chick in a bikini next to me who smelled so good it took all my will power not to shove my nose in the crook of her neck.

Plus I had a huge crush on the girl

This outta be good.

[Kagome Point of View]

I walked out onto the beach, the sand sifting between my toes. I smiled to myself as I ran out towards the ocean.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha called. I looked over my shoulder.

"Come of Slow Poke! Catch up!"

I had just looked forward when suddenly I wasn't on the ground any more. I looked to see Inuyasha running, carrying me bridal style as he ran towards the beach.

"I caught up!" He chuckled, looking down at me. I blushed as I smiled back at him.

"Where are you going?" I asked as he picked up pace.

"The water, duh." Suddenly, the water was spraying up as his ran into the shoreline, the salty mist covering us.

"It's cold!" I said as he ran deep enough for us to be in to our waists. Suddenly, he stopped and looked down at me, smirking. "Inuyasha…." I said warily. But without a word, he tossed me at least 5 yards away into the deeper water. I sunk over and thought up an idea. I smirked as I swam to the surface. Once I broke the surface, I began spazzing like a fish out of water.

"I can't swim! Ohmigod!" I flailed around, spraying water.

"Holy crap!" I heard Inuyasha say as he swam as fast as he could towards me. I sneakily smirked before sliding under. Suddenly, I felt strong hands on my waist as Inuyasha grabbed me. He pulled us up and we took deep breaths as we resurfaced. Inuyasha held me close against him, one hand on my head and the other on the small of my back.

"Why didn't you tell me you couldn't swim?" He asked, stroking my head.

"Because I can."

He held me out at arms length.

"Excuse me?"

"I can swim perfectly fine." I told him.

"I see," He said, letting go of me and turning to walk towards the shore.

"Inuyasha?" I asked.

"I'm going home," He told me, waving without turning around.

"No! Don't leave me!" I ran unsteadily through the water, but tripped and fell into the water. I stood on my hands and knees in the shallow water, spitting out sand and shaking it out of my hair. Inuyasha took his hands and picked me up.

"What was that?" He asked, using a clawed finger to wipe the sand out of my face.

"I said don't leave me…" I mumbled.

"You act like I'm breaking up with you," He chuckled. I blushed a deep scarlet. He smirked and hugged me.

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving."

I wrapped my arms around his waist, smiling to myself until he pulled away.

"Well, since you already gave me a freaking heart attack, let's build a sand castle." I nodded.

"Bet mine's better than yours." I challenged, walking out of the water towards the sand.

"You are so on."

[Inuyasha Point of View]

Kagome beat me building sand castles. She had just piled it up and shaped it into a cube, using her fingernails to sculpt in small designs.

I, on the other hand, got rather impatient with my castle and on several occasions knocked it over in frustration.

Currently, Kagome and I were laying on our backs on the sand, watching the clouds go by. Kagome pointed at a particular cloud.

"What do you think that one looks like?" She asked.

"A dog" She cocked her head.

"How do you get a dog out of that?" I shrugged. I looked around and pointed to a cloud.

"What about that one?"

"Mmm… a heart."

I squinted my eyes. "If you say so."

We sat in silence for a few minutes before I sat up on my elbow. "Hey Kagome." She looked over at me.

"Yea?" I took a hand full of sand and sprinkled it over her.

"Time to bury you," I said, laughing and picking up another handful of sand. She giggled.

"I'll scream," She threatened.

"I dare you." She smirked and opened her mouth before letting out an ear piercing scream. I cover my sensitive ears before clamping a hand over her mouth.

"Okay, okay, sheesh." She laughed and stood up, wiping the sand off.

"Well, we probably should get going," She said, looking at how more and more people were leaving. I sighed, not wanting to go home.

"Okay."

I stood up and dusted myself off. I smiled at Kagome and together we walked back to my car. Once inside of it, I turned on the heat and pulled out of the parking space.

"So you wanna hang out again tomorrow?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yea, that'd be awesome."

"Where at?" I asked, pulling into the road.

"How about I just go home in your car and I pick," She said, smiling.

"Aw, I don't get to know?" I complained. She shook her head.

"Nope, it's a surprise."

I laughed. "Alright, but it better be good."

"It will be."
