"This is nice."
"You said it Kagome. No guys or kids to bother us."
"Why, exactly, are there no kids swimming in the lake today? Don't tell me Jaws made an appearance." Kagome asked as her and Sango were floating around on their floats.
Sango laughed at Kagome. "No. They are having some kinda show today for the kids in another part of the main guest house. The kids have a chance to act out plays and stuff. Its not in the auditorium because the props for the dance competition are in there."
"Oh. That would be a good idea. We did a lot of work on those."
"Mm hm. Oh! I forgot to ask. Have you met Inuyasha's ex yet? What was her name? Kliklio?
It was Kagome's turn to laugh. "No! Its Kikyo. And no. I haven't met her yet."
"Has Inuyasha?" Sango asked while she shielded her eyes from the sun's rays with her hand.
"I don't think so. He's been with me most of the time."
"Oh. So how are things between the two of you?"
"We only started dating yesterday. I haven't been able to get that close with him since we got back from our picnic because you tried to kill him."
Sango grinned at her friend. "He was asking for it."
"Sure sure." Kagome smiled. It had been entertaining to watch Sango chase Inuyasha around yesterday. And here she thought that her vacation at a resort was going to be boring. Kagome looked up at Sango as she heard the older girl sigh in obvious frustration.
Sango got off her float to stand knee deep in the lake. "I need to go get my glasses. This sun is getting on my nerves."
"Ok. I'll wait here for you."
"I'll be right back. Won't be five minutes."
Kagome watched as Sango ran up to the shore and turned around. "And don't let my float get away!"
Kagome waved the girl off, watched her run away, and paddled over to reach the girl's float. She held onto the other float and closed her eyes, gently churning the water with her free hand. A few minutes later she heard splashing.
"That was fast Sango."
No answer.
Puzzled, Kagome opened her eyes and was met with, not Sango, but Naraku.
"I'm sorry Kagome. Am I interrupting something?" Naraku graced her with a sick smile.
Kagome's smile faltered a bit. "Oh no. I thought you were Sango coming back."
She looked Naraku over. He was donned in nothing more but a simple pair of black swimming trucks.
"You don't look like the kind of guy that goes swimming."
Naraku chuckled a little. "I don't particularly enjoy swimming in dirty lakes. My pool at home is sufficiant. I'm just making an exception."
Kagome became uneasy. "Oh?"
Naraku laughed to himself. It was amusing to see Kagome in a state of apparent unease. All he had to do was make sure he "innocently" injured her or upset her enough so she would want to back out of the dance competition. His hopes soared when he noticed the faint yellow bruise of her ankle. He put on a mask of concern and gracefully walked up to her to point at her ankle.
"What happened Kagome?"
"When I fell down a few days ago I twisted it." Kagome rubbed her ankle slightly.
"Tsk tsk. Does it feel any better?"
"Its still a little sore but its doing much better. Inuyasha put some medicine on it and it seems to be working just fine."
"That was nice of him. Are you two dating now?"
Kagome beamed. "Yes."
"But why Kagome? He is so simple when it comes to you. Add to that he is very rude and unrefined." Naraku shook his head.
Kagome's smile turned sad when she heard Naraku's disapproval of Inuyasha. "I like him though." She said meekly.
"For right now. He'll just use you like he did Kikyo then dump you."
Kagome straightened and stared up at Naraku. "But Miroku told me that Inuyasha did everything he could for Kikyo and that she dumped him. Inuyasha told me himself too. Why would they lie to me?"
Naraku tapped his finger on the tip of Kagome's nose. "Poor little naive Kagome. Didn't it occur to you that Inuyasha and Miroku are more like brothers? Did it also occur to you that brothers or best friends help each other out? Inuyasha either told Miroku that he was dumped by Kikyo to look like the victim or the two of them came up with that story. Kikyo came to me in tears after it happened. I still don't see why my father did not heed my words when I told him the news. Seems like Inuyasha is quite the dancer."
Naraku looked down his nose at the upset girl. Tears were pooling in her eyes and she had started to worry her bottom lip. Fireworks were going off in Naraku's head. It wasn't good enough though. He felt the need to hurt her physically now but it couldn't be obvious. He stopped his planning as Kagome stood up off her float, twisting her hands together. Naraku donned his concerned mask again.
"Are you feeling well Kagome?"
"I just....need some time alone."
"Please. Allow me to escort you to your cabin. Don't want to make that ankle worse, now do we? And besides, if you were to walk alone like you are now you might trip and fall again."
Kagome allowed Naraku to grasp her arm to help her steady herself enough so she could walk back to her cabin. Thoughts were swirling around in her head as to why Miroku and Inuyasha would make up something like that. Especially Miroku. He had been her friend for such a long time and it just didn't seem like something he would do. Sure he groped women and cussed occasionally but he had never hit anyone out of malice or done anything out of spite. Inuyasha. Well, she barely knew the guy so she wasn't exactly sure what he had done in the past or what he was capable of. He was a little rough around the edges when she first met him but he seemed to want to control himself when he was around her. It didn't make sense.
"You wouldn't be making this up would you?" She questioned.
"Why would I do such a thing? I am a very honorable man and I think it rude to lie to hurt other people for my own gain. I can't believe you would think so low of me Kagome. And after all the hospitality my father has shown your family."
Kagome looked back down at the ground. "You're right. I'm so sorry. I just wanted to make sure."
"I'll forgive you. Here we go. Your temporary castle awaits your arrival." Naraku held out his arm to the steps and bowed at the waist.
Kagome smiled a bit and started to ascend the stairs with Naraku close behind. It was now or never. Naraku stomped on the stairs to make it sound as if he was falling down. Before Kagome could turn around to check on him Naraku had swiftly grabbed her ankle and pulled it out from under her. Kagome fell on the landing, tears running down her cheeks. She felt Naraku roll her over and when she looked at his face he seemed very upset at what he had done.
"I'm so sorry Kagome. If it wasn't for my clumsiness you wouldn't have fallen. I didn't mean to grab your ankle either."
Kagome hastily wiped her eyes. "Its...its ok."
"Would you like for me to take you to the infirmary?"
"No..I just...I just want...to lie down." She said between sniffles.
Naraku smiled gently. He pulled Kagome to her feet and helped her to walk inside. Once she was safely deposited on her bed he removed her sock and shoe to examine her ankle. Naraku jumped for joy, mentally, at the sight of the angry forming black and blue bruise.
"I really didn't mean for this to happen Kagome. I knew you wanted to dance in the competition too."
"Well, even if my ankle was healed I wouldn't be able to dance without a partner. It wouldn't be wise to keep seeing Inuyasha."
Naraku grimly smiled. "I see your point. Get some rest now."
Naraku walked out the door. As soon as his footsteps had diminished Kagome flung herself into her pillow and cried.
**********
Sango stood with her hands on her hips tapping the ground with her foot. Her sought out item planted on the bridge of her nose. Her float, as well as Kagome's, were floating in the middle of the lake. Kagome wasn't on either one of them but a bird had made itself at home on hers.
"GET OFF MY FLOAT YOU PIDGEON....PELICAN!" Sango screamed.
"Actually my dear sweet Sango, that's a crow."
"Whatever Miroku. I want it off my float and I want my float back. Go get it."
Miroku looked at Inuyasha who was standing a couple feet behind him. Inuyasha shrugged. Sango's mumbling brought his attention back to the situation at hand.
"What was that?"
"I SAID...you ask a girl to hold your float and wait for you to come back, with sunglasses, and the girl takes off."
"You mean Kagome?"
"YES!"
Inuyasha whined while holding his ears. "Stop hollering Sango. You're hurting my ears."
"I'll give you something to whine about."
"All right you two. Where could Kagome have gone?"
Sango huffed. "I don't know."
Inuyasha started to sniff the area. "Seems like she went in the direction of the cabins. Maybe she got tired of waiting on you Sango."
"But I was only gone for a few minutes. Not even five."
"Why don't you go check on her and then meet me and Inuyasha for lunch? I'm sure you both are getting hungry."
"Me too." Inuyasha piped up.
"You don't get hungry Inuyasha. You get famished and then you are a bottomless pit while you eat."
"Keh!"
Sango watched as the two boys bickered their way back to the main guest house to wait for her and Kagome.
**********
Miroku's eyes traveled across the expansive dining room just so he could scope out some of the young women. Inuyasha was slumped over the table poking at the silverware. Movement near the door grabbed Miroku's attention. He smiled. Sango had made it. He was a lucky guy to have such a wonderful girlfriend. And every day she was even more beautiful to him. Today was no exception. As she drew nearer he couldn't help but think to himself that she had never looked so...so pissed. Miroku was on alert. He didn't think that he had done anything to her lately to be at the mercy of her wrath. Then it hit him. Kagome wasn't with Sango. Inuyasha must have done something to upset her. Inuyasha hadn't said anything though and he was acting normally. Miroku gulped.
Sango was on the rampage. Inuyasha was her prime target but Miroku was sure to get his fair share. She could see the fear in Miroku's eyes as she got closer. Inuyasha looked at Miroku then at her. Before either one could address her she had marched up to Inuyasha and slapped him across his face. Inuyasha was caught clearly off guard. The force of her slap had his head turning to the side. Muffled gasps and silverware falling on tables or the floor was all that was heard then it was dead silence.
Inuyasha clenched and unclenched his fists so he could keep his composure about him so he wouldn't do anything to hurt Miroku. He would never stoop low enough to hurt a girl and since Miroku was her boyfriend he was going to get hurt for her. Inuyasha watched as Miroku opened and closed his mouth like a fish as he gawked at his enraged girlfriend. Clearly the pervert had no idea what was going on. Neither did he for that matter. Slowly he turned his head to face Sango. She sure was scary when she was pissed but he wouldn't falter.
"I don't know what I did Sango but I'm positive I did nothing to warrant anything." Inuyasha said through clenched teeth. "You're lucky you're still standing."
"You hurt Kagome." Fire burned behind Sango's eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Miroku noticed the stares from the other guests as the other two exchanged words. They had better make haste and leave the dining room before someone else got slapped, punched, kicked, or killed. Miroku stood.
"Let's go somewhere else and talk about this. I'm sure this is just a big misunderstanding."
Sango huffed and walked away with Inuyasha hot on her heels. Miroku quickly tagged along muttering apologies at the guests as he passed them. Once outside, and a safe distance away from eavesdroppers, Sango whirled on Inuyasha.
"You did hurt her. She told me the whole story."
"I haven't said or done anything to her." Inuyasha fought back.
Miroku wormed his way between the two fighters. "Sango? What did Kagome say exactly?"
"She told me..."
*****FlashBack*****
Sango pounded on Kagome's door. "Kagome! Open up."
Her answer was a muffled "Go away."
"Open this door right now or I'll will be forced to take action and knock it down."
Sango pressed her ear to the door and grinned when she heard footsteps coming towards her. When Kagome opened the door Sango instantly stopped smiling.
"What happened?"
"Inuyasha."
Sango balled up her fists. "I'll kill him."
Kagome grabbed onto Sango's arm. "No! Please don't."
Sango ushered Kagome inside and the two of them sat on the edge of the bed.
"What did he do?"
"I was told that Inuyasha was the one to dump Kikyo. Not the other way around. He used her until he was finished with her. Inuyasha lied to me. Also, I think Miroku helped Inuyasha to lie about it."
"They lied about Kikyo being the one to dump Inuyasha so he could be the victim?"
Kagome nodded.
"That doesn't sound like something Miroku would say. Are you certain?"
"Yes."
Sango was determined to get to the bottom of this. "Who told you?"
"Naraku."
"Kagome. He's not the reliable type of guy."
"I asked him if he was postive about it and he grew upset with me because I dishonored him. He said that after all his father had done for me and my family he was ashamed that I wouldn't believe him."
"Oh. I see. Well, I'm going to go talk to the guys."
"Don't do anything rash Sango. You know how you get."
Sango brushed a stray piece of hair out of Kagome's face. "I'll be gentle."
When Sango got to the door she turned to ask Kagome something. The words died in her throat when she noticed her friend's ankle.
"What the hell happened? I thought it was getting better."
"Naraku tripped on the stairs and when he did he grabbed my ankle." Kagome started to cry.
Sango hugged her friend. "Why are you crying?"
"I wanted so much to be in that dance competition. I never get to do anything fun and now when I get the chance to its taken away from me. On top of that I thought I met a wonderful guy and turns out that he's nothing but a liar."
"Don't worry Kagome. We'll get this straightened out."
Kagome sniffled and smiled a little.
*****EndFlashBack*****
"That's what happened."
Inuyasha was downright pissed. "I never used Kikyo and I sure as hell didn't dump her! She dumped me. Naraku made all that shit up."
Sango was confused. Kagome had told her that Naraku was mad that Kagome would even think that he would lie to her. "But why would Naraku lie?"
The three stood there trying to figure out Naraku's motive.
"Hey mutt!"
Inuyasha started growling. He didn't have to turn around to know who that was. "Go away Koga."
"But I've come to torture you."
"About what?" Inuyasha asked as he turned to give the wolf demon his full attention. If only for a few seconds.
"I saw the list for the people who are dancing in the competition."
"And?"
"I just wanted to know what you would look like when I told you that your ex is dancing with Naraku. Rumor has it that the two have been seen together doing more than just dancing. If you know what I mean."
"You said it Kagome. No guys or kids to bother us."
"Why, exactly, are there no kids swimming in the lake today? Don't tell me Jaws made an appearance." Kagome asked as her and Sango were floating around on their floats.
Sango laughed at Kagome. "No. They are having some kinda show today for the kids in another part of the main guest house. The kids have a chance to act out plays and stuff. Its not in the auditorium because the props for the dance competition are in there."
