Chapter 3: A Saturday Spent With My Friends

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The sky was blue, the birds were chirping, an all around perfect day for a bike ride.

 

Kagome wheeled her bike out of the garage. She had just gotten her training wheels off a year ago. She had started late but she was a good rider. First she stopped at Sango's house.

 

The door quickly opened when she knocked, to reveal Sango's father. “Hello Kagome. Are you here to see Sango?”

 

Kagome smiled up at him. “Yes, is she here?”

 

Sango's father called up to her. Sango came flying down the stairs. “Hi Kagome. What do you need?”

 

“Hey Sango. I was wondering if you'd like to go on a bike ride with me. I was thinking we could ask Miroku and InuYasha if they'd want to go too.”

 

“Okay, I'll just tell my father and I'll get my bike. Wait by the garage?”

 

“Yeah. I'll be waiting for you.” Kagome smiled again and headed for the garage.

 

Sango had a nice house. It was big, roomy; it wasn't too surprising it was such a nice house. Sango's father was the head of the demon slayers. He was a demon slayer and Sango was training to become one herself.

 

Sango wheeled her bike up to Kagome. “Let's go!”

 

It took only a few minutes to get to Miroku's house. He did live only a few houses down.

 

Miroku himself answered the door. When he saw them he leaned against the door frame and smirked. “Why hello ladies. Beautiful day we're having. A beautiful sight I'm seeing before me.”

 

Sango sighed. “Give it a rest Miroku. We're here to see if you want to go on a bike ride. But if you insist on being stupid…”

 

“Gosh! I was only joking. Just let me tell Mushin.” Miroku went back into the house and came out through his garage. Now they just needed to get InuYasha.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“You did what?!” InuYasha yelled over the phone.

 

“Sorry! I know I should have told you.”

 

“I guess that explains why I didn't see you since the day we met Kagome.”

 

“At least I we can still keep in touch over the phone.”

 

There was a silence.

 

“Really?” InuYasha asked doubtful.

 

Shiori laughed. “Yes! And I can email you too.”

 

“Okay. Why'd you move?”

 

“Well I have to guard, I mean my mom and I are living with my grandpa now.”

 

“Alright. Just curious.”

 

“Oh, I've got to go. Talk to you later, InuYasha.”

 

“Bye.” And InuYasha hung up.

 

He was reading his first email from Shiori when he heard the doorbell ring. It was Kagome. His brother was heading for the door.

 

“Sesshomaru, I wanna get the door!” But his brother ignored him and kept moving towards the door.

 

“Sesshomaru!” InuYasha yelled in frustration.

 

Kagome looked up at the tall man who answered the door. He had long silver-white hair, pointed ears, and facial markings. A crescent moon on his forehead, and two violet stripes on each of his cheeks.

 

“Um… Hello. Is InuYasha home?” Kagome quietly asked. If Sesshomaru wasn't a youkai he probably wouldn't have heard it.

 

Sesshomaru gave her one look and called up to him. “InuYasha.”

 

InuYasha made an amazing leap from the second story balcony and landed gracefully behind Sesshomaru.

 

“Get outta the way.” With that InuYasha pushed past Sesshomaru and was in front of Kagome. “What do you want?”

 

Kagome gave him a warm smile. Perfect. He's in a bad mood. “Do you want to go on a bike ride with us?”

 

“Us?” InuYasha asked, he didn't see anyone but Kagome.

 

Miroku and Sango stepped on the front porch so he could see them. “Hi!” They exclaimed in unison.

 

InuYasha sighed. “Well I don't have a bike.”

 

“Oh.” Kagome's smile slightly faded with disappointed.

 

Damn stupid guilt! He thought as he gave another sigh.

 

“But, I guess I could run.” InuYasha suggested rolling his eyes.

 

Kagome's smile returned. “We're going to get ice cream too.”

 

InuYasha closed his eyes and looked away showing his disinterest. “We could get anything else you want.” Kagome tried, she got what she was hoping for.

 

InuYasha opened one eye to look at her. “Anything I want?”

 

Kagome nodded enthusiastically.

 

He opened both of his eyes and turned to face her. “Ramen?”

 

Kagome's smile got even bigger (if that was possible). “Yeah. I know this place that sells the best Ramen noodles!”

 

InuYasha stepped out the door and closed it. “Then let's go.”

 

Kagome blinked. “What about…”

 

“My brother? He couldn't care less where I am.”

 

Kagome blinked again. “Your brother? He looked old enough to be your dad.”

 

“Well he's not. He's only eighteen anyway.”

 

On their bikes Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were followed very closely by InuYasha, on foot. He was very fast. He kept up with little, if no, effort. They even ended up racing at one point. But InuYasha won. And after almost crashing into an old lady, a jogger, and a woman walking with her baby in a stroller, they decided racing wasn't all too safe. For them, or anyone near them for that matter.

 

When they were almost there they stopped for a minute to play with a man's puppy. Although InuYasha, for some reason, stayed at a distance and just growled at it.

 

They went to the noodle shop first seeing as lunch would be better before dessert. InuYasha ended up getting ten bowls. Luckily for the rest of them he had brought his own money.

 

At the ice cream store Kagome got chocolate chip mint, Sango got strawberry, Miroku got chocolate, and InuYasha got vanilla.

 

Seeing as it was still absolutely gorgeous when they were done they all agreed on a visit to the park.

 

“Well what are we going to do?” Miroku asked.

 

“I know! Tag!” Kagome squealed happily.

 

“Oh, tag!” Sango squealed with her.

 

“There's just one problem.” All three sets of eyes landed on InuYasha. “I can run faster than all of you, remember?”

 

Miroku, Sango, and Kagome exchanged looks. Kagome was the bearer of the solution. “Simple. Just go slow.”

 

InuYasha got an idea. “What about Hide-and-Go-Seek-Tag?”

 

Kagome and Sango were bouncing off the walls with glee. They all loved tag. Miroku, Sango, and Kagome would play it at recess all the time.

 

“I'll be it.” InuYasha offered.

 

Kagome looked at him questioningly. “Didn't you just…”

 

“Yeah. I know. I'll just… Close my eyes, okay.”

 

Kagome laughed. “You can't play Hide-and-Go-Seek- Tag with your eyes closed, silly! You'll bump into stuff!”

 

InuYasha smiled. “Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be fine.”

 

“Then let's get started! InuYasha, you stand by the swings and count to… Twenty. Kagome, Sango, and I will go hide.” Miroku explained.

 

Sango still looked doubtful. “Are you sure you can play with your eyes closed?”

 

InuYasha rolled his eyes. “Yes, yes! I can do it! Just go.”

 

So Kagome, Miroku, and Sango found a hiding spot while InuYasha counted to twenty.

 

“Eighteen, nineteen, twenty! Ready or not here I come!” InuYasha kept his eyes closed and started to “look” for them.

 

Okay, so Kagome's pretty close. Pole! InuYasha moved so he wouldn't walk into the pole and kept going. InuYasha sniffed the air. I'm so close to Kagome I can smell it. He stopped. Well I can REALLY smell it.

 

Kagome could see InuYasha coming now. His eyes were closed alright but it was like he could really see her… Almost. If his eyes were open he would have found her a while ago. She went back farther into her hiding spot beneath the slide. I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for the best. The way they were playing she couldn't move from the spot she was in. It wouldn't be fair because InuYasha's eyes were closed.

 

Oh no. He's getting closer! Kagome was starting to get nervous. Can't he try to find Miroku or Sango?!

 

Kagome's really really close! I know it! Then InuYasha got to the slide.

 

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! He's gonna get me! Kagome was freaking out.

 

Then InuYasha went away. Hm? Where'd he go? Kagome was looking around, trying to see him. She saw Miroku and Sango stick out their heads from their hiding spots in the playhouse and behind the monkey bars. They were pointing… Behind her?

 

“Got cha!” InuYasha grabbed Kagome's shoulder and she almost jumped out of her skin. She was so startled she screamed.

 

InuYasha's eyes snapped open and looked around. “What?”

 

Kagome put her hand over her heart and turned around to face him. “Nothing. You just… Scared me.”

 

InuYasha rubbed the back of his head. “Sorry.”

 

“Kagome's it!” Miroku and Sango yelled in unison.

 

Kagome sighed. She hated being it!

 

“Alright! But I can't find anyone with my eyes closed.” Kagome said sending a playful glare in InuYasha's direction. “Go hide and I'll count to twenty.”

 

And like that they were off again finding new hiding places.

 

“Eighteen, nineteen, twenty. Ready or not here I come!” Kagome yelled as she started to think about who she wanted to tag. They could run now because Kagome could see.

 

Oh boy. Well I'm definitely not going after InuYasha. Either Sango or Miroku then. She thought as she checked their previous hiding spots. Nope. I should have known they wouldn't be stupid enough to hide there again.

 

For a minute she thought she saw an ear stick out from behind the tic-tac-toe board. A puppy ear to be exact. An evil smile curved her lips. This could turn out to be fun.

 

She sneaked over to where he was and rubbed the ear lightly and hid when his head stuck out to see what it was.

 

It must have been the wind. Yeah. The wind. I am NOT going to be it again. InuYasha thought as he ducked his head back under the tic-tac-toe board.

 

Kagome quietly giggled to herself. Then she went back to looking for her other friends. She heard a sharp SLAP come from the playhouse at the other side of the playground. Dead giveaway.

 

Kagome crept over to the playhouse when she heard a whispered. “Pervert.” It had to be Sango. Maybe Miroku was with her. Two birds with one stone. She crept behind one of the open windows and yelled. “BOO!” She didn't exactly get what she was expecting.

 

Miroku slammed the doors on the windows shut. “Nobody's home!”

 

Kagome smirked. “I think someone is home.”

 

“Nope! No one's home!”Sango yelled playfully.

 

Kagome knocked on the front door. “Little pigs, little pigs let me in!”

 

“Not by the hair on our chiny-chin-chin!” Miroku and Sango yelled in unison giggling in between words.

 

“Miroku. Everyone knows you haven't grown a beard yet!” Kagome yelled through the door mockingly.

 

“Don't worry! I'm working on it!” Miroku yelled through the door.

 

This sent the three of them into a fit of laughter.

 

“Well I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll get this door open somehow!” Kagome yelled again. She tried to turn the knob but Sango and Miroku were holding it closed. Then she quickly crept over to the window again. Unguarded. She threw the doors of the window open, stuck her arm inside, and grabbed the nearest thing she could find.

 

“You're it!” Kagome shouted triumphantly.

 

“Oh man!” Sango yelled quite disappointed.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After their last rounds of tag it was time to play on the playground equipment. Kagome rode the bobbing horses (I don't know what they're called), InuYasha played on the monkey bars, and Miroku pushed Sango on the swings.

 

Things were good until “they” came. “Well, well if it isn't the baby squad.”

 

InuYasha dropped down from the monkey bars and headed straight for them. “Well, well if it isn't the kings of the idiots!”

 

Sure enough it was the same group of older boys she'd dealt before. Kagome was surprised they'd show up again.

 

This is why Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were at his side to back him up.

 

“Oh hi, Higurashi. You gonna tell your mommy we've been mean again?” Their leader was toying with them. It was starting to get to them.

 

“Well you seemed pretty scared of me the first time.” Kagome snapped back. She had no respect for them at all. She didn't like them at all.

 

“Inu the Puppy-Wuppy, Mr. Miroku Muddy Pants, and Little Miss Sango Sissy.” They were in for it now.

 

Sango was really pissed. No one called her friends or her those names and got away with it, unharmed anyway. So she kicked their leader in the place it hurt the most, the males' weak spot.

 

The older boy was now doubled over in pain and the other boys just stared at him then back at Sango. “If the rest of you want some, I'll be happy to oblige!” She yelled showing them her fists. This sent them running for their lives back to where they came from.

 

InuYasha and Miroku just stared speechless at Sango. She'd just done what neither of them had been able to do.

 

Kagome ran up to her, gave her a high-five, and hugged her best friend. If anyone knew how to take down an opponent, it was Sango.

 

When they noticed the boys were still staring Sango decided to stop it. It was getting annoying. “Do you find something interesting about me, boys?”

 

InuYasha and Miroku quickly snapped out of their trance. “Uh… No! No, not at all!” They shouted in unison. Sango was NOT someone you wanted to mess with.

 

“Guys, the sun's starting to set we should probably get home now.” Kagome said pointing to the sky.

 

“She's right, let's go.” Sango said following her back to their bikes. After a minute the boys followed. They'd have to remember that fight. It was a very important part of their safety that they keep clear of that situation themselves.

 

As they rode home they all talked about the fun day they had just had. Yes, life was very very good. And apparently very dangerous if you ever got Sango upset. Yeesh!

A/N: HURRAY! It was longer! About a page longer but, oh well. I hope you all like it so far! I think the comedy part of the story came out a little more in this chapter! But hey, that's just me. I got my training wheels taken off at seven. A year after everyone else got theirs off. But I'm one damn good rider now! HaHa!
