Disclaimer: Damn lawyers. Made me say 'I do not own Inuyasha.' dammit. I said it again. Oh well, people can dream can't they, well, until those lawyers ruin it.

A white stretch limousine waited for them outside the airport terminal. It took at least 5 minutes to get everyone's luggages out of the conveyor belt, and it took them another 10 minutes to try to fit all their bags in the limousine's trunk. They were all tired, so they decided to just put all the luggages that can't fit back there, with them. Then to top off their amazing arrival, they had to drive another half an hour to the beach house.
"Hey Yash, what hotel did you exactly book?" Kagome asked, out of curiosity.
"Eh, you'll see." Inuyasha shrugged.
Inuyasha looked out the window and thought, 'I wonder how Kikyo's doing.' As if Kikyo's mom had read his mind, a vibration woke him up from his stupor.
"Hello? This is Inuyasha Takashi speaking." Inuyasha answered.
"I'm sorry, but I'm in the Bahamas right now, and I don't feel like coming back just yet." Inuyasha replied, to what ever Kikyo's mom had said.
"Yes, I understand. I will come and see her, as soon as I'm home." Inuyasha promised, indicating the end to their conversation.
"Is everything okay?" Kagome inquired, moving towards the hanyou.
"I don't know what to think anymore Kagome. I'm torn between you, and my responsibility with Kikyo. She hasn't woken up, that damned bitch; she ordered the nurse to give her more pain killers, than the doctors said. Now she's knocked out, she has me worried sick." Inuyasha spat, looking out the window once again.
"Take your time, no one's forcing you." Kagome whispered soothingly, though her eyes betrayed her perfect array of understanding.
"Thank you Kagome. I can always count on you." Inuyasha smiled as he rubbed his temples.
"Your welcome. I'll always be here for you, no matter what." Kagome whispered, to the sleeping hanyou, a few tears escaping her eyes.
"You okay Kagome?" asked Sesshomaru, the person that everyone least expect to ask.
Not wanting to get everyone's spirits dampened, Kagome nodded curtly and smiled, "Yeah, I guess. Thanks for asking." Kagome added.
"No worries. But if my brother, truly let's you go, he's a big idiot." Sesshomaru stated.
Kagome giggled at what Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's step-brother, called him a big idiot; like he was 4 years old. Sango, on the other hand, looked at her best-friend and saw nothing but sadness, from head to toe. Sure Sango hadn't known her for that long, but she knows her good enough to tell what she's feeling, when she could fool most people with her warm smile, she couldn't fool Sango.

Kagome's POV
I just listened to him as he declared the feelings he still had for Kikyo. Almost makes me wonder if he really loves me; I'm certain he does, well at least I hope I'm certain. I'm just afraid that the same thing that happened to me and Hojo, will happen to us; it's a fear I've been having to live with since he said he loved me. But do you know what's worse? It's knowing that it's the same girl who ruined my previous relationship, is threatening to ruin my current one.
As much as I want Kikyo to suffer, I also don't want to, because he suffers; and if he suffers I suffer. If it means I have to pray for Kikyo's well-being every night, then so be it; even though it hurts, if it makes him happy, I'll pray every single night for Kikyo. I love him, and I'll do anything in my power to ease his pain, as much as possible.

The limousine came to an abrupt stop in front of a two story house.
"Should've known the bastard was making us stay here. Fucking asshole, oh well." Sesshomaru muttered, signaling for the chauffeur to open the trunk of the car.
"Brings back memories, brother?" Inuyasha taunted mockingly.
"Oh shut the fuck up, the only reason I fell for that prank is because my nose was clogged up." Sesshy cleared.
"Whatever you say." Inuyasha whispered.
Rin and Sango and Kagome stood there gawking at the beach house; it wasn't a usual beach house, in fact it was a whole lot prettier. It was mostly made of wood and glass; contrasting in harmony with each other. (A/N: what a weird irony.) Inuyasha ushered the girls forward, and opened the iron gate that separated him from the feathery beds inside. Kagome took the keys from him and then linked arms with Rin and Sango, leaving all the boys to carry the stuff. The girls stopped in front of a frosted glass double doors, Kagome, the one holding the keys, stuck the oddly shaped key in the matching oddly shaped key hole. Grinning from ear to ear, the girls pushed open the so called 'front doors' and was met with a breath taking view of the ocean; the guys crashing into them as they ran full speed to the house.
"I totally won." Inuyasha declared.
"No, I won. Now I want the mayonnaise you guys promised me." whined Sesshy.
"I don't care, this bosom has got to be the softest on in earth." Ramiro said, his face implanted into Sango's ass.
"Miroku, get your damn hand off of me now, or suffer the consequences." Sango threatened Miroku.
"Mayonnaise?" Kagome asked, not wanting to know the answer,
Sesshomaru chuckled nervously, afraid to share his addiction to mayonnaise.
"Guess we forgot to tell them." Miroku nudged Inuyasha's elbow.
"Hehe, well..uhm.. I don't know how to explain it, so I'm just going to say it." Inuyasha started, pausing for a dramatic effect.
"Gosh, just get on with it." Rin yelled.
"FLUFFYHASANADDICTIONTOMAYO!" Inuyasha stated rather fast, hoping that he wouldn't have to repeat those words again, if he ever wanted kids.
"What I'm afraid I didn't quite hear that." Sango said.
"Oh, you guys are hopeless. I said Fluffy is in love with mayo." Inuyasha whispered, edging his way towards the staircase.
"Inuyasha you are dog-meat!" Sesshomaru screamed, emerging from the corner he was in.
"Isn't it quite obvious that I'm half-dog? So doesn't that make my meat dog-meat?" Inuyasha said sarcastically.
Every one else excluding Fluffy and Inu cracked up, failing miserably to hold in the laughter. Miroku was clutching his stomach while Sango was still giggling, and Rin well she's a little shocked.
"Who would've thought 'Fluffy and Mayo?' " Kagome asked, producing some more much needed laughter.
"Maybe that's why his hair's that color." Rin cracked a smile.
"If that's Fluffy's little secret, I can't imagine what Inuyasha's might be." Sango grinned and shuddered at the thought.
Inuyasha and Sesshomaru ran around the house like idiots, Inuyasha tripping every other step; and Sesshomaru screaming 'gah!' every time he heard laughter from the front of the house.
"Stop it you guys, they won't stop chasing each other unless Yash, sits." Kagome declared, not knowing that the word 'sit' had some kind of effect on Inuyasha.
"Ahhh!" Inuyasha yelled his face slamming to the floor.
Kagome ran to where Inuyasha was and asked him, "You okay?"
"Yeah, I tripped and fell." Inuyasha admitted embarrassed.
"Don't worry Fluffy, we won't tell anyone about your mayonnaise addiction." Kagome giggled.
"Hmph. Better not or your dead." Sesshomaru indicated.
"Haha, of course." Kagome gulped.
I've been running in circles all day long
I'm out of breath but I'm still going strong
I'm gonna get'cha yeah no matter what they say
"Hello?" Kagome answered her phone.
"Hey, Kags." Kouga greeted.
"Oh, hey Kouga. What's up?"
"Eh, thinking of you."
"Hehe, well I have to go now, I'm extremely hungry. See ya later." Kagome hurriedly shut the phone.
Kagome looked around and saw Inuyasha glaring at her phone.
"Uh, that was Kouga..." Kagome whispered.
"We know." Sango glared.
"What did he say?" Sesshy asked.
"He just said hi. And..never mind." Kagome decided not to say the last part of their conversation.
"What did he say before you hung up?" Miroku persuaded.
"Nothing. He said see you later." Kagome answered.
"Your lying, I smell it all over you." Inuyasha stated, quietly seething.
"Promise me something though." Kagome looked at Inuyasha.
"What?" Inuyasha asked curiously.
"Promise me that you won't get mad, when I tell you." Kagome smiled.
"Keh, I'll feel whatever I feel okay?" Inuyasha called.
"He said, 'Ehnothingjustthinkingofyou.' " Kagome breathed out as fast as she can.
"Huh?" Inuyasha, Rin, Sesshy, Miroku, and Sango said, at the same time.
"He said he was thinking of me." Kagome admitted calmly.
"Well that bastard is going down!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Pleas don't Inuyasha." Kagome pleaded.
"Why not? Why do you always happen to stick up for Kouga and Hojo?" Inuyasha asked, his question piercing through Kagome.
"Why can't I? They're my friends. Well, Kouga is." Kagome yelled back.
"Because they hurt you." Inuyasha whispered, looking straight into Kagome's eyes.
"Don't you think your hurting me too?" Kagome cried softly, and ran out the back door.
Inuyasha looked at Miroku and said, "What the hell did I do? Never mind, don't answer that. I'm going upstairs."
"Don't tell me your not going after Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No, I didn't do anything." Inuyasha stubbornly replied.
"Okay, sleep well, little brother." Sesshy whispered.
