InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Meeting Place ❯ who was that? ( Chapter 5 )

Inuyasha slammed the phone down on the reciever and stood there for a moment, panting as if he had just run a mile through wet concrete.

Sesshoumaru glanced up at him from the rim of his magazine, curious as to what his brother was doing. "You okay, Yash?" he asked.

"Yeah," Inu grumbled. "I'm fine. Are we going to call Miroku and get on with pracitce, or not?"

Sess shrugged. "Whatever, leader. I'm not arguing with you today, understand?"

"Sure, whatever," Inuyasha snorted. Obviously, there would be a full-out war before the day was done. He grabbed his guitar and ran through a few chords, pausing to check the tuning. "Were you letting Rin play with my guitar again?"

Sesshoumaru didn't respond. He turned a page in his magazine, not really paying any attention to Inuyasha. Miroku wandered in a moment later, totally ignoring his pre-irritated friend as well. He sat down and twirled a drumstick around between two fingers, humming to himself. "It's really great out today. You been out there?"

Sess shrugged. "What's there to do? We can stay in here and irritate my brother, or we can go out there and irritate my brother. At least there's air conditioning in here."

Miroku narrowed his eyes. "You want to know what else is out there? Sango, Rin, and a total babe, all in bikinis and headed for the beach. What's there to do in here?"

"Oh, I don't know…sing?" Inuyasha snapped.

"Yeah, well, you can sing. I'm going to go to the beach with three hot chicks and leave you here to sing yourself out. Have fun," Miroku replied, putting down his drumsticks and walking out again.

Now that Inuyasha was properly pissed, he turned to Sesshoumaru. "What's got you still in your seat? Aren't you going to go with him?"

"You are too, baka," Sess replied in a bored tone. "After you finish pouting. So just save us the problems and get your lazy ass outside where it belongs,"

"Now I'm the lazy one?" Inuyasha exclaimed. "When did that happen?"

Sesshoumaru put down his magazine and got up from the table, walking towards the door. Frustrated and generally annoyed with his brother, Inuyasha picked it back up.

"Not a word," Sesshoumaru said, back turned.

"Why the hell were you reading this when you already have a girlfriend?" Inuyasha demanded. "It's all…pink. …is this…Teen Gossip?"

"You've heard of it? That's odd," Sesshoumaru replied, giving his brother the finger (and not the pointer or the ring, and not a thumbs-up or anything. You know which one). "After all…I found it in your stash,"

"Of what?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Don't make me explain, jackass. Get outside now before you annoy me any more than you already have."

Inuaysha grumbled something and walked outside, holding up a hand to block the sun from his eyes while they adjusted.

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

Kagome sighed, wishing that she could have convinced Sango to A) allow her to study more and B) allow her to wear something less skimpy. She had a Calc test on Tuesday, and it was already Sunday. There was a lot still to do planning-wise throughout the school year as well, and Kagome really didn't have time to take off.

She was already worried about spending time with Rin and Sango when the both of them would have boyfriends to keep busy as well. Nervously looking about, she tugged at the edge of the triangle-halter bikini. It was backless and had a complex ammount of ties that prevented anyone from playing nasty tricks without alerting Kagome first. Little rainbows were dancing across a deep purple background on her halter top, and her shorts/bikini bottoms were solid black.

When Miroku came and got in the car, giving Sango a quick kiss, Kagome knew she was done for. If she didn't die of loneliness or embarrassment, she would be bored to death.

Another couple of minuted passed before Sesshoumaru arrived. He grinned widely at Rin and complimented her before catching the keys from Sango and getting in the car. And then Kagome saw the third member of the male party.

Inuyasha.

She smiled slightly, knowing what this meant. Kagome could get a nice long look at his eyes and be perfectly happy for the rest of her life.

When Inuyasha got in the car and lowered the hand that had been shading him from the bright sun, he caught sight of Kagome and also looked shocked to see her. He shot a glare at (only God-knows-why, Kagome thought) Sango's back.

"Are we just going to sit in the car all day?" Sesshoumaru asked Miroku, reaching out with a foot and kicking him lightly. Rin was sitting on his lap and preventing him from much movement.

"Fine, fine," Miroku replied, shifting slightly so that he could drive while still cuddling with Sango.

Kagome sighed. Leave it to her friends to arrange a triple date and not even tell her. Well, they had told her that there would be a third guy, but they failed to include the semi-vital information that this third male would be Inuyasha. And not just any weirdo named `dog demon', oh no-it was the one that was haunting her mind, the one with the mysteriously hidden eyes.

Blinking and getting rather bold, Kagome shot a look over at his face. He was looking out the window, his head proped up on his hand and his silver hair blowing about in the wind. There was no way for her to get a look at his eyes without saying anything. Damn.

"So…you're Inuyasha," Kagome said softly, fully aware of the other four people in the car.

"…" he glanced at her, too fast for her to see his eyes properly. "And you're Kagome."

"Very good, children!" Rin exclaimed, clapping her hands and grinning. "Now that we all know each other by name, let's sing the sharing song!"

"No, Rin. Calm." Sesshoumaru said, taking one of her hands and nibbling on her fingertips. "Kagome and Inuyasha can learn to share and cross the street on their own,"

"Rin works with little kids around the clock on weekends, usually," Sango told Inuyasha. "Pardon her erratic behavior, O Mighty Hacker God."

"You dragged me away from my computer for this? Kiddie songs and a lot of sand?"

"Ooh, but there's water too!" Rin exclaimed. "C'mon Inu, don't be so depressed. Kagome didn't want to come either. You two can hang together while the rest of us have fun,"

At this, Inuyasha looked at Kagome fully for the first time. Her breath caught in her throat and she bit her lip to keep from making any odd sounds.

He. Had. Amber. Eyes.

So whatcha think so far? This will probably strech on for a while, seeing as my own personal little romance is stalled as well. You never know, though, maybe I'll get inspired to write more sometime. *shrugs* R&R!

PS: in regards to my earlier statement "but so far this story is progressing based on my own love life"…don't sweat it. I'm not writing in my own expirences, I'm actually writing a story. It's just every time he screws up and I get all depressive, I tend to stop writing for a while and mope and read other fanfics. So just yell at me or something if you think I'm too slow. I've been known to post a chap a day before, FYI.
