Kagome was sitting at her desk looking at the problems being written on the board. She couldn't understand this! Math was the worst! But even if she was looking at the problems, her mind wasn't completely with it.

Kagome was wondering how to talk to Shigure about Hiraikotsu. Should she just bring it up, or should she find away to have it brought up in conversation? She wasn't quite sure. But she knew that she would love to have it, to help her remember her friends and have them remain close to her, though most of them are dead.

Kagome decided just to straight up ask Shigure about it. She got home and noticed a huge box in the entry way. She read who it was for, and it was for Shigure.

"Shigure, I'm home! And you have a box in the entry way!" Shigure walked out and smiled as he tried to pick up the box.

"Wow, this is heavy. I guess I'll have to open here." Shigure laughed sheepishly as he began to open it. As he opened it Kagome glanced over and noticed a familiar wrapping. She didn't mean to, but she pushed Shigure over and finished opening it and looked at what was in the box. It was Hiraikotsu.

"Hiraikotsu!" Shigure sat up from the floor and walked over and looked into the box.

"A giant boomerang?" Kagome chuckled.

"Not just any giant boomerang. This was Sango's boomerang. She killed thousands of demons with it. Why do you have it Shigure?" The cursed dog shrugged and smiled.

"I do believe I recall that Sango was one of our ancestors and one of your companions right?" Kagome nodded. "Well then, would you like to keep it?" Kagome smiled and nodded.

"Oh thank you Shigure!" She lost herself for a moment and hugged him, and then there sat a black dog. And then the door opened to show the other housemates.

"What's going on here!" Kagome smiled as she picked up Hiraikotsu.

"Shigure let me have this. It was Sango's weapon." She scratched the back of her head sheepishly. "However I got over excited and hugged him." She hurried to her room and placed the giant boomerang on the weapons rack and smiled. She finally had everything.

Two days later and it was time to go on the class trip to the beach. They were staying in cabins, 4 people per cabin. Kagome was ecstatic when she found out she was staying with Tohru, Uo, and Hana. Kyo and Yuki were sharing a cabin with two of Kagome's fanboys and Kagome and Tohru couldn't help but feel kinda bad.

After everyone got situated they met up on the beach. Their teacher was ready to teach and began. Kagome paid close attention and enjoyed being outside of the classroom. After he finished teaching he sent people off in groups of 8 to explore the beach and take pictures of what they saw and take some sand and water samples.

Kagome and her group went and after Kyo and a few of Kagome's fanboys threw some dead crabs at each other and Uo broke it up, they returned to the teacher and handed him the samples. He was impressed on the quick work and good samples that Kagome's group collected and allowed them to go goof off.

Kagome and the girls got into their swimsuits and headed to the water. Tohru was a little embarrassed and Kagome smiled with the other two. Tohru was in her new bathing suit, Hana was in a black one, and Uo was in a dark navy blue one. Kagome on the other hand was wearing a red bikini.

The girls swam and splashed each other after a few minutes and when Kagome turned to look at the shore, she saw Kyo smiling out at here. Kagome smiled back and waved him in.

"Come on Kyo! Join us!" He blushed and looked at the water. It seemed to irritate him. Then Kagome understood. Cats plus water equals no deal. She sighed and swam over to him. "If you won't join us I'll just join you."

"You don't have to ya know. I mean we live together, it's not like I'm gonna get worried if you hang out with your friends." Kagome smiled and kissed his cheek, causing him to blush and their teacher to clear their throat briefly before Kagome returned to the girls in the water.

Chapter 26! Sorry for the wait but I told you I wanted help with what direction to go in and none of you helped *pout* so I decided to do both in the same chapter. I want to thank you all though for being so supportive of me =)
