CHAPTER 35: AND SO IT BEGINS

Inuyasha opened his eyes that morning, and knew instantly something was up. Ignoring the sun that was pressing at his shades, he stumbled out of bed and almost tripped on something. He didn't know what, it was almost pitch black in his room. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he reached out and came upon a lamp, snapping it on and cringed when the first flash came in contact with his eyes. Cursing about waking a person at an ungodly hour, and he stumbled towards his bathroom for nice shower. But stopped when he noticed a little note taped to the door.

Crossing his brows, he plucked it from the door, and heard something fall out. Grumbling, he picked it up and his confusion grew. He turned it over, and noticed it was a set of keys, car keys with the famous Jeep logo on it. He grinned and turned over the note.

Good morning,

I hope you don't get your license taken the first day, cause then I'd have to beat you senseless for ruining this. It's out front. Happy birthday bro.

Sessh

Inuyasha's grin widened, and he hurriedly grabbed something from the floor to put something on. Grabbing a hat last minute, he raced downstairs, whirling past a surprised Akiko, and swung the huge front door open. He let out a whoop, fisting the air excitedly.

Right in the driveway, was a brand new, bright red with tan roof, Jeep Rubicon. He skipped down the stairs to it and quickly shifted through the keys for one and the door opened with a click. He popped it opened, sat right down, adjusting the drivers seat to his height. He put the key in the ignition, and smiled with the jeep purred to life. He noticed I was an automatic and frowned a little. Sesshomaru never did fully trust him to drive smartly. He shrugged and slammed the door shut. He had a girl to pick for the last day of school.

Someone was honking. Someone was HONKING at SIX THRITY in the freaking MORNING. What person in their right mind would wake her at this unruly, ungodly, and way too early hour? Kagome lifted her head aggravated, and growled at her window. Light was filtering through, and she wanted to hiss at it. Someone was laughing downstairs, and somehow knew it was her mother. How that woman could get up before six was a miracle to Kagome. She'd never be able to do it. As the honking continued, she buried her head in her pillow desperately, and groaned when she could still hear it. Slamming a fist on the bed, she jerked up and went downstairs to give whoever it was a piece of her mind.

She streaked past her giggling mother, and yanked open the door and rushed to the shrine steps. She skipped down them, grumbling all the way.

"The minute I find out who it is, I'm killing them," she mumbled and continued down. The honking had stopped, but she didn't. When she finally reached the bottom, fuming, she choked on her words that were about to come out.

For there Inuyasha, casually leaning against a shiny new Jeep, arms crossed and confident. He raised a brow when she didn't say anything, just stared at the pair, man and car. "Well? Sesshomaru gave it to me for my birthday. Ready to go?"

She looked at him dubiously, "and this is what you woke me up for? At six friggin thirty in the morning? Too bad for you, you're not getting any today now."

She turned to leave, but was caught by a pair of strong warm arms, and his hot breath tickled her neck. "Aw come on, I was excited. Just wanted to show you."

Despite her annoyed state, she leaned back cause he was warm. "You could of waited till I was actually awake. Now, you go dry for your birthday."

He let go and faked a heart attack, "Jesus, what this woman does to me!"

She sighed and gave him a flat look, "hey you're not the only one suffering. You're going to have to work twice as hard next time, to make up for today."

He quirked his brow and crossed his arms, "well, well I see. Looks like I'll to extra good."

Before turning, she gave him a saucy smile, heading towards the stairs. "Who said I wanted you to be good?"

She quickly started running up the stairs and he looked ready to pounce her, but was sort of disappointed when he didn't and jogged up after her.

Okay, we all know the feeling. It's the last day of school, and you're in your last period class, waiting anxiously for the bell to ring out your freedom. But just as it seems too good to be true, it is. For time seems to slow down, and the clock moves forward like an old man without his walker. The teacher's chatting too much, and it's getting on your nerves. You started tapping your pencil on the desk, and your knee starts bouncing uncontrollably. The last five minutes roll around eventually and it only gets worse. You're eyes are darting every ten second to the clock, begging pleading mentally for it to move faster. But no, it taunts you and seems to go even slower than before.

And right now, Kagome was ready to kill. Inuyasha knew this, and stayed clear of her for the last few minutes. Miroku and Sango were all cuddlely in the back, and it was kind of making him sick. How many times do you have to say I love you before you get the point across? God, not even Kagome says it that much.

"Hey Inuyasha!" lost in his own musings, Inuyasha failed to realize that Miroku was trying to get his attention. He finally nodded at the boy. "You know the beach house?"

"You mean the one you and Mushin go to every summer?"

"Yeah that one. Well, Mushin's staying home this summer, bad knees. And I was thinking, since we got nothing to do, maybe we should go."

Inuyasha turned to him, "really? How many rooms?"

"Kitchen, two bathrooms, living room, beach out back, two bedrooms," Miroku said with a quirk of his brow.

Inuyasha nodded, "sounds good to me. When do we leave?"

Sango laughed, "It seems the boy can't get enough of her. My, my Miroku, how ever shall we control them?"

Miroku had up his hands, "hey there is no way I'm getting between a dog demon and his girlfriend. I do want to live to see retirement."

"Oi, by the way, what do you want to do today? You're celebrating just as much as I am," Inuyasha asked, and leaned back, wanting very badly to get up and run for freedom.

Miroku shrugged, "I dunno, something."

Sango held up hand and turned to her lover, "wait, I thought your birthday was next week?"

Miroku shrugged again, "well, we figured since our birthdays are so close together, we celebrate together. So, I just turn 18 a week early, no big deal."

"Oh…" Sango nodded and went back to leaning on Miroku.

"So, what do you-" but just then the bell rang, and Inuyasha found himself being dragged by the hand through the halls. It was Kagome who was dragging him, really desperately wanting to get out, Miroku and Sango had trouble keeping up.

"Whoa! Kagome slow down!" Inuyasha laughed, but she didn't listen.

"No, I had to put up with this hell hole nine out of twelve months and I'm not spending another second here!"

Finally, they reached the doors, Kagome busted out, dragging a winded Inuyasha behind her. She tilted back her head and took a deep breath. "Can you smell that Inuyasha? Three months of freedom!"

He only shook his head and gave her a look, roughly translated would mean `have you temporarily gone insane?'. She turned back and saw his look, and couldn't help but giggle. Their friends caught up, and Sango came up and smacked Kagome upside her head.

"Jesus Kagome! I thought I was going to collapse!"

Kagome shrugged noncommittally, "hey what can I say? I wanted out!"

They shook their heads at the girl, and walked to the parking lot. There, Miroku noticed Inuyasha walk right up to a new jeep. He whistled.

"Nice Inuyasha, a gift?"

Inuyasha nodded, "from Sesshomaru."

Miroku shook his head, "hey, no one sad he didn't know you."

"That's fine and dandy, but I think Inuyasha owes me," Kagome commented, and held her hands innocently behind her back.

"Oh really? Why?" Sango crossed her arms and leaned against a random car.

Kagome walked up and pinched Inuyasha hard, making him yelp. "For waking me at the break of dawn to show off his little present! So now, he owes me."

Inuyasha smiled sheepishly, "what ever you want."

Sango shook her head as Kagome smiled evilly, "oh boy, you're gonna regret that. Don't make plans Miroku, looks like we're going to the mall."

The boys groaned as Kagome smiled wider. But Miroku perked a bit, "hey it won't go to waste. We can get stuff to go to the beach house. And besides, it not like me or Inuyasha really want to celebrate our birthdays."

"Oh, I don't know, "Sango purred getting his attention immediately. "I was kinda hoping we could have a little party…just you and me."

Miroku gulped as his mouth went instantly dry, and their friends held back the smug smiles.

"You know what guys, we'll come and get you in a couple of hours, I still want to test out this baby," Inuyasha said, slapping a hand on his jeep. Kagome went to the passenger door.

"Not with out me. You should know I'm a real speed demon."

Completely ignoring how his friends got closer to each other and the car, Inuyasha came up beside her and crossed his arms. "Its not made for speed, but terrain."

"Okay then, we'll go off-roading. Sound good?"

Inuyasha gave her a peck and placed a hand to his heart, "a girl out to get me own heart. Hop in, lets go."

Kagome clapped and help Inuyasha get he top off. She howled as they pulled away, and made rude faces to Sango that had her friend laughing. And so summer began.
