A/N: Well howdy to ya’ll who’ve come back to read Chapter Dos of this lovely story, lol. Sorry I haven’t updated since like July. *avoids flying objects* I know I said I would try and update frequently, but sometimes during the summer it’s pretty dang hard to find any amount of motivation. Any one else feel my pain? Anyways, special thanks to those who reviewed. I greatly appreciate it! Now on with the story!

Disclaimer: Okay... no I don’t own any of the Inuyasha characters. I merely borrow them for a little fun every now and then. Oh, but I do own the characters Jennifer, William, and Billie!!

So here’s where we left off:
A new voice was heard from the third row, “What’s this that I hear about tongues and promises?”, the now awake Miroku asked, interest lacing his voice.
“Why me?”, Jen mumbled exasperatedly against the dashboard.

“Just a Little Bit of Camping”

Chapter Two ~ The Grouch

A slap echoed throughout the Suburban leaving a red-cheeked Miroku with a dizzied brain.

“Ow...”, Miroku moaned, rubbing the offended cheek tenderly. “My dear Sango, what was that for?”, he asked innocently.

“Can’t you see you were embarrassing Jennifer?”, an angered Sango all but yelled, shaking a clenched fist at him threateningly.

“Oh but Sango, I was merely curious!”, he whined as he tried to defend himself, adding a little whimper hoping that it would soften Sango up a bit.

“And don’t think whimpering like a wounded animal is going to get you anywhere, monk!!”, she spat out angrily, raising her right fist in preparation to knock some sense into the currently stupified Miroku.

“Gah! No Sango! Violence is not the answer!!”, he said pathetically, trying to calm the wound-up demon slayer, but only ended up adding more fuel to the fire.

“Oh yeah? Seems to me that violence works just fine!”, she said sounding a lot like Inuyasha as she swung her fist, aiming for Miroku’s face between his flailing arms.

“Uh, Sango. I’m not sure if violence in a very small, confined space is such a good idea!”, piped in Jennifer, who at the moment didn’t realize how right she was.

Lucky for the big-mouth monk he ducked just in time to avoid being hit squarely in the face. Since her fist missed her target it kept on going and hit Inuyasha, who was innocently attempting to stay asleep in the seat in front of Miroku, in the back of the head.

Inuyasha whipped his head around. “Oi, bitch!! What the hell was that for?!”, yelled Inuyasha angrily.

“Don’t call me a bitch, dog-boy!!”, Sango yelled back as she raised her fist for another punch.

“Why Sango, your temper is a great deal shorter than it usually is!”, Miroku said pleasantly, happy to no longer have a fist directed at him.

Jen let out a sigh. “He just couldn’t keep his mouth shut, could he?”, she mumbled to Will who was trying to see what was going on in the back while at the same time trying to keep the car going straight.

“The boy's not right in the head.”, Will replied, slightly amused as he saw Sango in the rearview mirror redirect her anger towards Miroku, effectively rendering the poor monk unconscious. “Ah well, he had it coming no doubt.”

Sango, not satisfied with only Miroku being knocked out, went for Inuyasha and planted yet another solid punch to his cheek. At this the enraged half-demon went over his row of seats, so as to attack the demon slayer at a better angle.

As Sango and Inuyasha continued swapping punches Billie Joe and Kagome, who had amazingly managed to stay asleep through the whole thing until Inuyasha had left her side, struggled to get out of range of flying fists and kicking feet.

“Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...!”, Billie yelled pathetically as he hid himself behind a sleeping bag.

~Arg, this is getting out of hand... I’m just gonna have to go back there...~, Jen thought as she reluctantly undid her seatbelt that she had vowed she would always keep on.

It was at that moment that Will decided to put a stop to the scuffle by means of scaring the crap out of the car’s occupants. He hit the brake roughly, causing the car to lerch forward then back. A chorus of screams, and a muffled ‘eep!’ from Billie who did a face plant into a sleeping bag, issued throughout the car.

Will then pulled to the side of the empty, two lane highway and turned his head to survey the damage caused by his sudden stop. Inuyasha had been thrown back into his row and was currently wedged between his seat and the armrest that separated the two front seats. Kagome, however, had seen it coming so she had held onto the handle above her window and was still sitting in her seat. Miroku, being unconscious and all, had flopped on to the floor. Sango, on the other hand, had been dumped unceremoniously on top of the monk, her face a funny shade of cherry red. As for Billie, he was fine and dandy, having been surrounded by pillows and sleeping bags. Although his head was stuck in a rolled up sleeping bag with Shippo and Kirara trying to help him get it off.

Will let out a chuckle, he was rather pleased with himself. “Serves you all right, should’ve listened to the lady when she advised against violence in a confined space.”, the wolf-demon said smartly with a nod of his head as he checked his side mirror to make sure he was clear to get back on the road, seeing that he was he sped up and continued their journey.

He then looked to his ladylove only to find her in a very precarious position. A grin crossed his features while a string of muffled curses flowed out of Jen’s mouth. Her legs were sprawled over her seat while the rest of her body was stuck on the floor underneath a portion of the dashboard.

“Aw, sorry, Kitten. I should’ve warned you.”, he said, unable to hide his smug smirk.

He couldn’t hear her reply very well due to her voice being muffled by her position, but it sounded somewhere around the lines of “I am so purifying your ass!!!”

“Now, now. Don’t be so bitter, luv. I thought you would have learned to keep your seatbelt on, what with that incident earlier and all.”, he mocked teasingly.

After about ten minutes everybody, except for a still K.O.ed Miroku, had managed to get themselves out of their rather uncomfortable positions and had resituated themselves in their seats.

The car was unusually quiet due to a majority of the occupants silently fuming to themselves, but at least the fighting had stopped.

“When are we going to be able to get out of the car? I think I’m going crazy...”, Jen whined, breaking the silence. But hey she couldn’t help it, they all had been stuck in this friggin car for about four hours now. That’s probably why the whole ‘fight’ had happened, both Sango and Inuyasha had been very restless due to being stuck in something much smaller then they were used to. That’s why they had lashed out at each other. Sango was usually a lot more level-headed about such things.

“We’ll stop in about five minutes.”, Will replied tiredly. He had been driving the entire time, he was going to ask Billie if he would take over for awhile.

“You mean we’re almost there?”, she asked hopefully as she visibly perked up a bit.

“That would be a no, Sweets. I meant there’s a rest stop ahead, we’ll all get out, stretch a bit, then change the seating arrangements around so there’s not another ‘incident’.”, he let out a chuckle and turned to grin at her, “Although I quite enjoyed the sight of everyone sprawled all over the car, especially you...”, he licked his lips sensually and smirked as she turned a bright red.

“You know you deserve to sit in the back all by yourself for that stunt you pulled!! I could’ve gone through the freakin’ windshield! Boy, you’d be sorry then wouldn’t you!”, she huffed and glared at him.

“You know I would, Kitten. Who would I get to–“

”Don’t you even dare finish that sentence!”, she threatened, letting out a frustrated sigh. “You’re lucky I love you, cuz if I didn’t you’d be a pile of purified dust right now!”

“I love how you can be so sweet while at the same time threatening to dust my sorry ass.”

“Damn straight!”, she laughed, giving him a smile.

“And I love it when you smile for me alone.”, he let out a growl that sounded a lot like a purr as she turned crimson yet again. “If we were alone right now–“

”Now don’t go getting into details, please, spare the other people in the car!”, Inuyasha cut him off, sighing exasperatedly.

“Inuyasha! You are so rude...”, Kagome glared at him, a dangerous glint in her eye.

A look of near terror crossed Inuyasha’s face. “Please, Kagome, don’t say the ‘S’ word.”, he begged.

She let out a sigh and crossed her arms. “I’m not going to, but only because we’re in the car... you deserve a good sitting.”

Inuyasha relaxed a bit, happy to have avoided meeting the ground... especially at sixty miles per hour. Boy he was lucky to be stuck in this odd contraption that they called a ‘car.’

Will pulled into a parking lot located to the side of the highway. The sign said ‘I-35 Rest Stop’ along with a number that you could call if you needed assistance. He chose a parking spot, it wasn’t that hard due to the fact that they were the only one’s there. This time he braked a lot slower, much to the happiness of everyone.

As they pulled to a stop everyone opened their doors and let out a sigh of relief as the fresh air wrapped itself around them. Jen hopped out of the vehicle and onto the ground with a happy giggle followed by Kagome and Inuyasha then Sango and Miroku. Will got out of his side and came around to stand next to Jen.

“Ooh! It’s feels so good to be out of the car! Mmmm...”, Jen said as she let out a nice, long stretch only to be interrupted by somebody shouting. She looked around for the source before realizing that it was coming from the way back of the suburban. She walked over to the back of the car and opened the hatch. Out fell Billie Joe and Shippo followed by random bits of sleeping gear. Kirara, on the other hand, gracefully jumped out and landed in Jen’s arms.

“Geez, did you forget about me?”, Billie whined as he rubbed his head.

“Only a little...”, Jen grinned sheepishly as she helped him up.

“Mmmm...”, he stretched, his arms going above his head. “Even though it was comfy back there, it sure feels good to be able to move again! I tell you what!”

She nodded her agreement as they walked over to join the rest of the group. She took a look around, they were surrounded by trees. It seems that they had left the rolling plains behind. Ah well, she liked forests too. She followed the others until they had reached a pavilion where they could sit and eat their lunch.

“This place is a lot different than anything in Japan. The air here seems to be just as fresh as that of the Feudal Era, you know, when technology wasn't so pollute-y.”, Kagome commented as they pulled out chopped up watermelon and strawberries followed by stuff to make sandwiches out of the cooler they had brought with them.

Billie popped open a can of Dr. Pepper and took a long swig. “Well that’s cuz we’re in Middle of Nowhere, Oklahoma.”, he said, wiping his mouth of the foamy suds of his soda.

“Thanks for bringing us here, you know, to the present.”, Sango said to both Jen and Kagome as she reached for some of the juicy watermelon.

“No problem!”, Jen replied smiling happily as she snatched Billie’s Dr. P and took a long, hardy gulp before replacing it back in his hand. Billie merely ignored her, for she always had a habit of thinking that anything that he was drinking was hers as well.

“Oh yes, thank you Lady Kagome. And you too Lady Jennifer... if there’s anything you would like in return...”, Miroku said suggestively to Jen as he scooched closer to her, his hand eager to do some groping after that long ride in the car.

“Uh... Heh, heh... no thanks...”, Jen replied nervously as she scooched in the opposite direction.

The wolf-demon bristled. “Move it, mate. That is if you’d like to keep that hand of yours...”, Will threatened coursely, baring his fangs.

“Of course, sir.”, came Miroku's nervous reply as he hastily moved back to his original position next to Shippo and Sango, only to be slapped yet again across the face.

“Play nicely, Will.”, Jen whispered as Will, who had been leaning against a post, came to sit next to her, one leg straddled over each side of the bench so that he was facing her. He pouted playfully which earned him a smile from her and a gentle pat-pat on the cheek.

“But I don’t want to share.”, he stated simply, his pout still firmly in place.

“I’m all yours, Will.”, she whispered with a smile.

Will leaned in for a kiss. He was almost there when he was interrupted.

“Get a freakin’ room already!”, Inuyasha said crossing his arms.

Will looked up from what he was doing so as to glare at the half-breed. “You sure are one for bluntness and interruptions, Dog-boy. Is it just 'cause you’re not getting any?”, he said, his voice monotone but with a hint of annoyance.

“Will!! I said play nicely!!”, Jen all but yelled, slightly angry that Will was being just as blunt as Inuyasha.

“What’d you just say ya mangy wolf?!”, Inuyasha spat as he returned the glare whole-heartedly.

“Oh brilliant, he’s hard of hearing too...”, Will said all too casually, picking at his already-chipped black nail polish with a bored expression.

“Geez, Will!!”, Jen managed through gritted teeth before turning to Inuyasha, “He doesn’t mean it, uh, he’s just kinda cranky from driving so long!”, she said in a rush, defending Will’s attitude of the moment.

Kagome let out a sigh. “Oh Inuyasha... you’re just jealous that he's getting action, where as you are not...”, came her tired opinion. She had been trying to get some physical action from the half-breed for who knows how long, but for all her trouble she got nothing but a hesitant kiss here and there at best. She was getting pretty damn frustrated with him.

“Ka-Kagome...”, was all Inuyasha managed before he turned to leap at Will, intent on doing some bodily harm.

“Sit, boy.”

Wham went Inuyasha as he kissed dirt. Miroku couldn’t help but grin in childish glee at the sight and Shippo joined him in taunting Inuyasha. Jen could only shake her head while Kagome apologized somewhat reluctantly to Inuyasha.

Will got up with a huff, slightly put off. So he was a bit cranky, he couldn’t help it. He then tapped Jen’s arm to get her attention. “Walk with me?”, he asked her while offering her his hand.

She gave him a smile and nodded, taking his hand, then turned to tell everyone that they were going for a walk. She pushed herself up and off the bench and started to walk off with Will, hand in hand. She ignored the catcalls that were coming from Billie, he always did that when she went off alone with Will, but she couldn’t help but smile and blush a bit. They continued their walk and headed towards a trail that they could see a little further ahead. It most likely led deeper into the forest, but she didn’t mind. In both her and Will's opinion, the further the better. They wanted to be alone for a little while.

As soon as they were out of hearing range Will began to apologize. “Sorry for being such a wanker back there. I suppose I am a little cranky...”

“A little? Can you say a whole world of cranky?”, came Jen’s reply, a slight smirk gracing her soft features.

“Okay, okay. I admit it, I am flat out cranky. Happy?”, he said with a little grin.

She nodded her head happily, “Yep!”

“So I’m forgiven?”, he said, grinning all the while.

“Consider yourself forgiven for your crankiness, but as for that stunt you pulled earlier... well you’re just gonna have to work for it!”, she smirked and gave his hand a squeeze.

“Now that was a little suggestive on your part. I’m surprised, Miss No-Longer-A-Virgin-But-Still-Incredibly-Prudish!”

She bit her bottom lip, feigning innocence,“Oh, was it?” No sooner had that come out of her mouth that she found herself pushed up against a tree, Will’s face buried in the crook of her neck as he rested his body flush against hers.

He couldn’t hold himself back any longer, he had to feel her. They had gone so long without a kiss or anything of the likes due to having at least four other people being in their company at all times since they had arrived in America, and that was at least five days ago. He wouldn’t have minded public displays of their affection, but Jen didn’t feel comfortable doing that, she was more of a private person and he respected that, but it made it much harder for him to find the right time and place, without people around, to touch and to feel her.

He kissed the juncture between her neck and right shoulder lovingly. Hopefully he would one day leave his mark there, binding them together forever, but he would wait until she was ready. His tongue darted out to lick a line to her pulse point, once there he sucked on it lightly enjoying the pleasant noises it aroused from his love. He then moved his lips to graze lightly over her cheek and then to her lips where he teased her lightly before capturing her lips in a gentle kiss.

“Mmmm... Will...”, she mumbled against his lips as her arms went up to circle his neck and bring him down closer. He was biting her bottom lip gently while his fingers went up her shirt to trace lazy circles up and down the skin of her sides. She let out a light moan at this and continued to kiss him.

When his tongue came out to probe her bottom lip she opened her mouth to him. Not taking this invitation for granted his tongue delved inside to taste her fully. He let out a light moan at the taste, she tasted of sweet rasberries along with her own special Jen-ness.

Their kiss became more passionate as their need for each other increased with every shuddering breath. His hands had already undone her belt, button, and zipper by the time she reached for his belt. Once she reached his belt she unclasped it followed by his button. Her fingers then went to his zipper. With a playful grin she began to pull it down agonizingly slow, torturing him, just as she knew it would–

“Jennie! Will! If we want to get to Mount Scott before the sun goes down we best get on the move! Don’t make us leave ya'll behind!”, Billie’s shouting effectively ruined the moment...

Jen had to keep Will from going to attack poor, innocent Billie Joe who didn’t realize what his yelling had interrupted. As Will turned to run and chase down Billie and deal out some major ass-kicking Jen’s arms circled his waist from behind, successfully preventing him from running down Billie.

“Calm down, Will. We’ll have more time later, I promise.”, she said soothingly and kissed his shoulder. He took a deep breath, trying to regain control over his demon who, at the moment, wanted nothing but Billie’s blood and the continuation of his near love-making with his lady.

He let out the breath, only to take another deep breath and slowly exhale again. “Sorry, luv. I was so wrapped up.. I didn’t realize my demony side had taken over.”, he managed to say, having regained control.

“It’s okay, luckily for Billie there was no harm done!”, she smiled, “Come on, let’s head back.” She loosened her hold on his waist so as to start heading back when his chuckle made her stop.

“What? What’s so funny?”

“You might want to tidy yourself up first.”, he mused as he glanced at her pants.

She looked down at her jeans. “Oh yeah... right... forgot.”, she blushed hotly as she zipped up her fly, buttoned her button, and fixed her belt. Will, having re-done his button and belt, started helping her resettle her hair. “Thanks”, she said with a laugh.

“No problem, pet.”, he smiled as they entwined their fingers once again and headed back towards the car.

Once they had arrived at the parking lot the new seating arrangements were set up. Jen remained in the front, but this time with Billie driving. Miroku and Inuyasha took up the second row while Kagome and Sango took the third row. Will took over Billie’s former spot in the way back with Kirara, but Shippo had decided he wanted to sit on Kagome’s lap.

A/N: Okay, sorry, but I have to end it here! I have homework for school to finish. Can you believe it? It’s only been two days since school started and I already have a crap load of homework to do, not to mention a test to study for... alas, such is the school life...
