Chapter 2: Mountain Vacation

 

Well, planning a wedding, or in this case, a double wedding takes a lot hard work and organization, with it taking place in a little less than a year, it's going to be hectic.

 

All 4 families gathered around in the Tukashi household, deciding what's going to be what. Weddings aren't cheap, especially when you're going to be doubling everything.

“Well, with two couples instead of one, everything's going to be doubled. While you two girls deicide on wedding cake and the boys deciding on a groom cake that should save some money at least.” Dad suggested. Everyone was gathered in the living room, with various magazines and planners.

“I agree completely. We should divide on who pays for what. The Brides' families and the Grooms' families should pay equal amounts, depending on what they purchase, like the wedding gowns and the tuxedoes.” Miroku's father offered.

“You got a point there. Plus there's the size of the wedding, what do you 4 think? What size wedding do you want?” Sango's mother, Sari, asked as everyone turned to Sango, Miroku, Kagome, and Inuyasha. All four were sitting together

“I haven't really thought of it. I mean it depends on how many people are invited, right?” Kagome asked.

“I don't see a small wedding if it's all four of us. All of us have certain people who we want to invite.” Inuyasha pointed out.

“I can imagine a big wedding, plus the reception. I bet it's going to be a large one, in my opinion.” Miroku added.

“You're right, Miroku. I think a big wedding wouldn't be too bad. I can imagine it's going to be one huge party.” Sango agreed. “So is a big wedding agreeable for you two?”

“Sounds good to me.” Inuyasha replied.

“Yeah, I agree, completely.” Kagome added after that.

 

 

That's how it went all afternoon and into the night, and into the following 3 weeks: nonstop planning, schedules, appointments for the wedding attire, colors, designs, the decorations, food, the guest list,….and the list goes on and on.

The weekend at the end of the three weeks was a breather for all of them. All four of them settled at Kagome's and Ayame joined them, just like old times. Let's just say that none were too eager to move anytime soon.

Panting, Miroku started the conversation.

“I can't believe it. Three weeks of non stop moving and running around, organizing this and that. And it's going to get busier in the following months until the wedding day. I don't know how much more I can take.”

“I can't blame you, Miroku.” Inuyasha said, rubbing his eyes, trying to stay awake. “Getting all this together is going to be murder.”

All three girls agreed. Sango was sitting with Miroku, resting against him, trying to pay attention, without much luck. Kagome was sitting on her respective fiancé's lap, rapidly falling asleep. Ayame was sitting on the arm of the bigger couch where Sango and Miroku were residing.

“You know what? You guys need a vacation, away from all this and just relax.” Ayame suggested. “That is if you guys don't have to do anything.”

“Fortunately, we don't have anything booked for this coming week and we could really use the time away. What are thinking, Ayame?” Inuyasha asked, quickly falling asleep himself.

“Well, I was thinking about a mountain vacation. I know a log cabin big enough to accommodate all of us where a lake is just a few feet away, clean enough to swim in. My family is big, mountain campers so we could use our cabin. What do you think?”

Sango and Kagome sprung awake at the mention of the lake.

“Did you say `lake'?” “Up in the mountains?”

“Yeah, I figure we could all get out of this town for a while and it'll give you four a bit of a breather.” Ayame said, confirming the girl's questions.

“Kagome, Ayame, do you know what this means?” Sango asked, in a knowing voice. “Shopping!!” All three girls shouted, who were now fully awake. Inuyasha and Miroku, on the other hand, moaned and groaned.

“No! Last time we went shopping, you got carried away and I had to carry all your bags! No way, Sango!” Miroku exclaimed, standing up, along with Inuyasha. “Come on, Kagome, shopping is another tired excursion for us. Give us a break here, girls!”

“Here that girls? So I guess that they don't want to help us pick out our new swimsuits. Too bad, I guess, -“

“Did you say `swimsuits'? You're going shopping for swimsuits?!” Miroku interrupted, suddenly perking up and stood beside Sango.

“I guess you got yourself a bag carrier.” `Although I will probably regret it afterwards'

“Make that two bag carriers.” Inuyasha added, now with a gleam in his eyes and stood beside Kagome. She then whispered,

“I have to have your opinion on what I look best in.”

“I would prefer you wear a sexy bikini, preferably one that shows a lot of you.” He whispered back. Kagome gasped, blushed and elbowed him lightly.

“You're such a hentai. Where was this playful version of you during the school year?”

“It was deep down, where if your father saw me toying with you, I would have been roasted alive, but now that we're engaged, there's no need to hide any longer.”

They were interrupted because they heard an all too familiar slap and turned around to see Sango rubbing her fist, staring at Miroku's limp body.

“I tell ya one thing. That's not going to change at all, even after we're married. I think he enjoys being knocked out.” Sango said, stating the obvious.

“Yeah, I think he enjoys rubbing your ass, that's why he won't leave you alone.” Ayame added, giggling in the process.

“Apparently so. So, let's go shopping! I want to get out of here and away from this crazy town as soon as possible!”

“Yeah, me too. We can't leave right away. So how about we leave two days from now, so we'll have some planning to do and stuff to get?” Kagome suggested, trying to keep Inuyasha off of her until they were alone.

“Exactly what I was thinking. I`ll tell my parents, get the `thumbs up' and we'll be set. Let's go!” Ayame exclaimed happily and off they went, to the mall, where they would be buying more than swimsuits.

 

 

So it was done. All five of them would be going up to the mountain cabin by the lake for at least a week, taking a break from civilization. Everyone got the green light to go ahead and enjoy them selves. They got their belongings, equipment and such and loaded it into the big van, courtesy of Ayame's parents. Everyone was up and about early that morning, 5:00 am, but all were excited that this would be a sweet vacation they won't soon forget.

Yawning, Inuyasha carried a big duffle bag and loaded it up in the back of the van. Miroku was behind him, carrying a few bags of supplies. Kagome and Sango were standing alongside the van, making sure that they didn't forget anything. Ayame, on the other hand, pulled a slick new camcorder and began documenting. She wasn't going to leave anything out.

 

(~Ayame speaking through cam~)

 

(~Alright, it's the morning of June 26th, 5:00 in the morning. We can see Inuyasha and Miroku packing our van for our 200 mile journey up into the mountains and let me say, these two don't look very cheerful in the morning and carrying our baggage is not making them any sweeter.~

“Damn right! Now get that thing out of our faces before we chase you down and run you over?!” Inuyasha exclaimed looking very pissed off at the moment, carrying another bag into the van.

~Okay, Okay, geeze, Mr. Grumpy in the morning. I see our two lovely ladies standing near the front of the van looking over our map. Hey Kagome, you have to do something about your fiancé; he nearly ripped my head off! ~

“He's not a morning person so it's wise not to get on his bad side this early.” She responded, looking over to the camera. Sango then looked over.

“Yeah, Miroku is just the same, except he might grope you instead of chewing your head off. He's done that to me plenty of times and he has the markings to prove it!” Sango said, having an evil smile plastered on her face.

“Got that right! I'm still recovering from that last bruise you gave me.”)

She turned the camera to be staring at Miroku's exhaustion/ moody face and Inuyasha's pissed off look.

(~Miroku, how does it feel to have a million bruises all over you from your fiancé? I'm sure they're painful. ~

“Yes they are and pointing that camera at me is making it worse! It's bad enough to see me sore all over.” Miroku complained, getting the last of the gear locked up and locking the back of the van.

~And with that, everything's set. Let's get this show on the road. ~

“Who's going to be driving this thing?” Sango wondered. Inuyasha and Miroku backed away. “Not us. We just did the packing and besides, if Miroku drove we would never get there.” Inuyasha joked. “Hah hah, very funny. Why don't you drive Ayame? You know how to get there don't you?” Miroku asked, facing the camera.

~I would love to, but who will operate the camera? I intend to film this fun trip and I will not trust this camera to anyone who intends to break it! ~

“I'll drive.” Sango offered. “We can't leave the map to you two clowns so Kagome why don't you sit up front up with me?”

“Sounds good to me, Inuyasha is no good with a map, anyway.”

“I heard that!” Inuyasha shouted from the other side of the van, making sure that nothing will happen to it on the way.

“It's true and you know it!” Kagome shouted back.

“Whatever.” He grumbled.

“If Sango is driving, we better make sure that we pack the first aid kit because she is crazy when she drives, like a maniac I tell you!” Miroku blurted out. Sango calmly went to the other side of the van and all heard a huge slap and seeing Miroku slide to the other side of the van and frantically got up and started to run, with Sango hot on his heels, shouting incoherently. The camera was following the couple around the van and into the street.

~I think I better shut this off for a while because beating up Miroku is somewhat a long process and it gets pretty violent when it comes to criticizing Sango~)

 

(~Okay we've been on the road for, oh I say 5
