InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Girl's Day Out ❯ Chapter 1

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, so don't sue me. Or I will be forced to, in desperation, fling myself off my porch! And... twist my ankle!… or something…

A Girls' Day Out

"Aw, come on Sango! There's no way we're gonna find any shards any time soon, no matter what Inuyasha claims. And it would only be for the day. Besides, I need to restock. Dog boy ate all the Ramen and Shippou made off with the chocolate."

"Well…" Sango weakened as her curiosity spurred her.

"We'll make it a girls' day out! It'll be great! Besides you've never been to my time before and we'll be back by tomorrow morning." Kagome bubbled on, each new reason further weakening her resistance.

"You know what? Why not?" Sango agreed.

"Cool! Let me just tell Kaede so she can let the boys know where we've gone in case they come back before we do." Kagome skipped off to grab her backpack and give Kaede the news. Then she rushed back outside and tugged Sango along with her to the well. Soon they were standing in Kagome's time.

Sango looked around, staring at the giant buildings in the distance and the passing cars. Kagome had told them a lot about her time, and Inuyasha had managed to tell them about some things from his experience in her time. However, hearing about it and seeing it were two different things.

"Come on Sango! We should go to the mall first! It'll probably be a bit overwhelming so just stay close to me. Also you should leave your boomerang here at the house. I'm not sure how legal it is walking around with a giant weapon on your back." Kagome pulled her inside, and after introduction to her family and explaining the purpose of their trip to Kagome's mother, she got some cash and dragged Sango out the door.

The trip to the mall had been… interesting. Kagome had ignored the curious stares as she took Sango to any store she had asked about. By the time they left Sango was functioning on mental overload, as overwhelmed as Kagome predicted, while Kagome was hyped up on caffeine, courtesy of the food court. Kagome had forced her to try on a half dozen bathing suits and she had self consciously modeled for the younger miko. Eventually she, meaning Kagome, settled on the black one, which was essentially a bikini with thin strips of material running between the top and bottom piece. Suffice to say it was overly exposing to Sango's way of thinking, but Kagome seemed to think it the most natural thing in the world.

Now they were at a secluded cove at the beach toting sun block, an extra pair of clothes, a portable stereo with a cd player, some new cds, a couple of new beach towels, a Styrofoam cooler full of carbonated beverages, some lunch food, two stylin' pairs of sunglasses and a beach ball. They were wearing their bathing suits under their clothes.

"Now come on! Let's test the water!" Kagome quickly stripped off her clothes, exposing her simple purple bikini. "Come on Sango, what's wrong?"

Sango blushed furiously as she thought of the skimpy 'swim suit' she was wearing beneath her new clothes. She felt very self conscious, and was unsure about taking exposing the bathing suit. Kagome seemed to understand her reluctance to be seen in the bikini.

"It's alright. Look the beach is deserted. No one is going to see us, and we're in the present so that perv, Miroku won't 'accidentally' get a look at you or grab something he's not supposed to. That being the case, there's no reason for you not to go ahead and wear it. If nothing else it'll let you feel pretty. Besides, why should you hide your body? You've got killer curves and that suit really emphasizes that."

Meanwhile~~~~

"Look there's a demon! It may have a shard. We should get Kagome and track it down before it can get away!" Inuyasha hissed, grabbing Miroku's collar and bringing him close so he could speak quietly without the demon hearing him.

"Where?!" Shippou demanded , earning a silencing glare from Inuyasha.

"Right! Let's go get the ladies!" Miroku, agreed.

However, when they arrived at the hut they learned from Kaede that the both Kagome and Sango had returned to Kagome's time to restock and 'hang out'. Inuyasha growled when he heard that they wouldn't be back until the next morning. Thinking fast, he grabbed the lecherous monk and made his way to the well, leaving Shippou in Kaede's competent hands, despite the young kitsune's protest.

They arrived in Kagome's time and asked Kagome's mother where the two wayward women had went. Kagome's mother regarded the two males who had come along asking to know the whereabouts of her daughter and her little friend.

"Well they said they were going to the mall and then the beach, but they're probably already at the beach, Inuyasha. You are Miroku correct?" she asked, as Inuyasha had been too intent on taking Kagome back to remember to introduce his companion. At his nod, her lips pursed, and she regarded him with 'the mother look'. He started to squirm uncomfortably, wondering exactly what the look held in store for him. He was relieved when she gave the same considering look to the demon half.

"Mrs. Higurashi, please tell us where this beach is," Inuyasha's patience was stretching thin. And he didn't trust the gleam that entered her eyes before she started to speak.

"There's a small alcove that we go to visit on vacations from time to time. If you go to far east of town to the beach and follow it along the shore to the north then that's probably where they'll be."

The demon dragged the other poor boy out of the house, in a rush to find his woma- er shard detector.

"Oh dear!" Kagome's mother spoke softly to herself as the two boys left. "I wonder if I should have told them that the girls were going to get new bathing suits?" She chuckled, in response, wondering just how the two groups were going to react to each other, having seen with her own eyes her daughter's liking for the demon boy, and being told by Kagome of Sango's fondness for the cursed monk. Her matchmaking streak was probably going to result in the dog demon getting sat until his back broke and Miroku getting smacked around… a lot. But then again… those boys getting to see the girls like that would stick in their minds… and wouldn't that be interesting?
