"Hey, Rin, did you borrow my lotion while I was out last night? I can't find it." Kagome was baffled. She was sure she had left her lotion on her nightstand before she left on her date last night. Maybe one of her roommates borrowed it. She didn't mind if they had, they borrowed items from one another almost on a daily basis. Usually they returned it right away, or at least let the person they borrowed from that they had it.
"Sorry Kagome, I didn't go in your room at all last night. Maybe Sango borrowed it? We were hanging out with the guys. Maybe she wanted soft hands for Miroku and just forgot she had borrowed it."
"Yeah, maybe. I'm going to go ask her. You almost ready?"
"Almost, I'll meet you upstairs in five."
Kagome went upstairs looking for Sango. "Hey, Sango," she called out knocking on Sango's door. "Did you borrow my lotion last night? I can't seem to find it."
"No. I didn't borrow it. You didn't put it in your purse to take with you last night did you?" Sango replied coming out of her room.
"No. Maybe it fell under my bed or something. I'll find it later."
"Do you want to borrow some of mine?"
Kagome accepted Sango's offer and rubbed some lotion on her body. She loved the feel of the lotion on her hands and arms.
Miroku and Inuyasha walked in the door just as Rin was coming upstairs. "What's taking so long? Let's go already," whined Inuyasha.
The girls grabbed their bags, and went to the car. Everyone got in and Inuyasha took off. It wasn't a long drive and soon everyone was climbing out of the car and walking onto the sand. It was a nice day, and so they had all agreed to go to the beach. There would be something there for everyone, including Kagome who still really just wanted to be lazy.
The group unloaded the car and set up a little area for themselves. Luckily it wasn't too crowded at the beach here. Kagome placed her towel under a beach umbrella and laid down ready for some relaxation.
"Oh no you don't. We came to the beach to spend time together, not so you could just sit under the umbrella and be lazy. You can do that another day." Sango pulled Kagome to her feet. "Besides, you don't want to disappoint Inuyasha do you? You already broke his heart by going out with Hojo last night. Don't disappoint him by being stand-offish today," she whispered quietly in Kagome's ear.
Kagome blushed lightly as she glanced quickly at Inuyasha. Her blush deepened as she realized that he was watching Sango and her exchange. When Inuyasha noticed Kagome looking at him, he grabbed the closest thing to him, which happened to be a volleyball. "What do you say?" he called to the group. "Me and Miroku against you three. Losers have to make dinner for everyone."
Sango, Rin and Kagome looked at each other. Both Inuyasha and Miroku were in pretty good shape, and athletic. However, the girls weren't half bad either. With the three of them, they could maybe beat the boys. But if they did win, did they trust the boys cooking. As these thoughts passed between them through their looks, they decided it was worth it, and agreed.
They went over to an empty net and got started. Since there were only two of them, the boys served first. Inuyasha served the ball over the net straight into Rin's waiting arms. She may be small, but that girl sure is fiery. She bumped the ball up, Kagome set it, and Sango spiked it right between the two boys.
Inuyasha dived at the ball and managed to get it before it hit the ground. Miroku was right there to hit it back over the net. The ball went back and forth viciously. It was a close game, but eventually the girls got the last point. By the time the game was over, everyone was tired and sweaty.
A/N I've been trying to upload this chapter for awhile now. The site or my computer doesn't seem to want me to upload the chapter. Hopefully it works this time.
