Ch 8 – Smile
Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango were in the car traveling down the road. "I think there is an Inn coming up" Miroku said.
Inuyasha looked from the back seat. "Let's go ahead and pull in" He looked at Kagome sitting next to him. "Me and Miroku will go get some food, you and Sango get the rooms. Remember don't use your real names."
Kagome nodded and Sango pulled some cash out of the dash board. The girls got out and Sango grabbed one of the suitcases. They walked into the office while the boys drove off to get the food.
"Hello! Welcome to the Sunshine Inn!" The man at the desk said, he looked about their age working the night shift. "How can I help you ladies?"
Sango walked up first "Hi, my name is Becky and this is Taylor." She said looking at Kagome. "We need two rooms, each with two beds."
"Are you expecting others?" He asked,
"Yes, our boyfriends, we are on a road trip to the beach for the weekend." She said as she put the money down "Their grabbing some food and will be back soon. Can we get our rooms?" She asked.
"Yes, of course, so just one night then?" He asked handing her the keys
"Yes, one night should do it!" Sango smiled
The girls walked over to their room and Sango unlocked the door. They walked in and she put her suitcase on the bed closest to the window and door. "This will be my bed, you take the one over there." She said pointing to the twin bed by the bathroom. "The boys are in the room next door. When they get here I'll give them their key." Sango said opening the suitcase. "Do you have any pajamas?" Sango asked.
Kagome looked down, "No, I don't…..I didn't bring anything."
Sango smiled "That's okay, I brought extra just in case." She pulled out light pink satin shorts with a matching tank top. Then she pulled out a pair of cotton shorts and a concert t shirt. "Which would you like?"
Kagome looked at the clothes and shrugged not wanting to impose, Sango smiled and handed her the concert shirt and shorts knowing she'd probably feel more comfortable covered. The girls changed and sat on the beds.
"So tell me about yourself." Sango said crossing her legs.
Kagome didn't know where to start, she had just met her and didn't know how much she should tell. "Well, my name is Kagome…I am sixteen, I actually just turned sixteen this month. I live…lived with my godfather Naraku. My parents died…." She thought
Sango shook her hand "I know all that," She smiled at her "I mean, what do you like, what's your favorite music and movies, what do you do for fun?"
Kagome just shrugged her shoulders "I never really had time for fun."
Sango frowned slightly. She then smiled and went back to her suitcase. She pulled out a music player and turned it on. She began to dance while sitting on the bed, as the music picked up tempo she stood and danced more. Kagome smiled and laughed watching Sango dance around. Sango grabbed her hands and pulled her off the bed they began to dance together. As the song changed they continued to dance to the new beats. There was a knock on the door and Sango danced over. She peeked in the eye hole and opened the door. The boys came in holding boxes of pizza. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, she was laughing, she was actually smiling and laughing.
"Pizza man is here!" Miroku said in a deep voice, trying to sound bigger than he was. He sat the boxes down and opened them up. He and Sango grabbed a slice each. Inuyasha walked over and grabbed two slices taking one over to Kagome. Sango turned down the music laughing. "Sounds like you girls were having fun." Miroku said laughing at them
"So much fun!" Sango said looking at Kagome. "Here are you room keys" Sango said handing them the keys to their room
"We're in separate rooms?" Miroku said with a teasing pout.
"YES!" Sango said shoving his shoulder. "Y'all are right next door." After dinner the boys went to their rooms and Sango and Kagome got ready for bed in theirs.

"Is that going to be all for you?" Asked the old man at the counter
"Yes." He said looking at the items laid before him. "By chance have you seen two young men, one with dark hair, one with blonde, walking around with a teenage girl?"
The man shook his head and placed the items in the bag, ropes, guns, knives. "No I don't suppose I have, although I don't get out that much." He tallied the total and took the money from the man "Have fun on your hunting trip" He said closing the register.
Naraku turned to walk out of the store, bag in hand "I will." He said with a dark laugh.
