InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Summer Of A Lifetime ❯ Camp Natsu Aikou ( Chapter 1 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
1 - Camp Natsu Aikou
The young woman hopped off the bus onto the grassy field, the afternoon sun instantly beating on her long raven hair. Her deep chocolate brown eyes scanned the horizon. To the far left lay a dirt baseball field, the newly layed white chalk lines showing brightly on the brown of the earth. Next to the field were an assortment of cabins. These particular cabins had been spray painted with big blue letters that read messages like 'Boys Rule!' and 'Kings of the Camp!'. Naturally, these were the boy's cabins. A little farther back, her eyes came to the lake, with it's wooden dock jutting out into the peaceful waters. About thirty feet infront of that was a large building with a sign that read 'Activities Building'. She assumed it was for activities such as crafts and for when it rained. To the left of that was a large building with another sign that declared that this building was the main office of the camp. Next to this enormous building lay a long, low building with a smaller building connected to it from behind. 'The Mess Hall' was on a sign above the large double doors. Directly behind this was a basketball court, already covered with teenage boys fighting over the bright orange ball that flew to the net. A little further back the forest began. The darkness of the forest startled the young woman; even in the day it looked like night. She looked up the slight hill to her right, spying another grouping of cabins much like the ones to her left, except these had bright pink paint that announced that 'Girls are better than Boys' and 'Boys have Cooties!'. A large grin crossed her face as she approached the cabins with a vengence. Kagome knew that this summer would be very interesting.
She walked up the small wave in the grass, looking over the young girls that congregated among the grass as she approached a girl that looked around her age.
"Umm... Hello," Kagome said as she tapped the stranger on the shoulder. She turned to Kagome with a bright smile. Her magenta eyes sparkled with happiness and her long dark brown hair was pulled into a ponytail high on her head. She wore a Camp Natsu Aikou t-shirt and jean shorts. Her smile exuded confidence, and she seemed very strong. How Kagome could tell this from a glance was a mystery to her.
"Hi! You must be another counselor! I'm Sango, nice to meet you!" She stuck her hand out and Kagome shook it cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'm Kagome. Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, you're Kagome? Awesome! You and me are counselors of the same cabin!" Her voice sounded relieved to meet her partner. She grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her to the nearest cabin, swinging the door open to reveal a fairly large room filled with about ten twin beds. There were a couple suitcases and pillows askew around the room, along with some coats and jackets. "We sleep in here, with the girls. It's like a slumber party every night!"
"Slumber party?" Kagome said with a skeptical tone.
"Let me guess: You've never been a counselor before, am I right?" she asked as she put her fists on her hip.
"Yeah... You could say it was sort of a no choice kinda thing..." she said as her mind wandered back to her kichen at home.

"I have to what?" Kagome said as she played with the little tassles on the pillow that sat on her lap.
"You're going to be a counselor at Camp Natsu Aikou this summer," her mom told her as she paced around the butcher block island in the center of the kitchen. Kagome's mother was a quiet woman, but she got what she wanted.
"Why?" Kagome asked. The edge of her fingernail got caught on a thread and broke. "Owch..." she said as she threw the pillow back to the couch in the living room.
"Because I don't want Souta traveling that far by himself. It's dangerous."
"Mom, walking across the street is dangerous," she said as she got up and pulled a bottle of cold water out of the refidgerator. "Besides, why can't I just take him and come back? And besides, I have to get ready to go to college in the fall, remember?"
"That's another reason that I'm sending you there. You need to go and clear your head. Trust me, it will help," she said in a knowing tone.
A sigh escaped Kagome's lips. 'No matter what I say I won't have a choice about it...'

"Don't worry, Kagome. You'll love being a counselor. I've been a coulcelor since I was fifteen, and I do. Although I've never been to this particular camp before..." she trailed off as she led Kagome back to the two beds near the back wall. "You and me will sleep here, okay?" Sango threw her bag onto the bed to the right of the window, and Kagome set her's on the bed to the left.
"Attention, all counselors!" a booming, yet emotionless, voice anounced over an intercom. "Please report to the main office for instructions. Now."
"That must be our boss," Kagome sighed. "Sounds like a real fun guy, huh?"
"Yeah... Come on, we don't wanna be late!" Sango grabed Kagome's shirt sleeve and pulled her out of the cabin.
'This is going to be a long summer...' Kagome thought as they jogged/ran to the main office.
&nb sp; A young man was pacing around the boy's cabins with a scowl on his face. 'I can't believe that she's here! Out of all the camps in the country, she had to chose this one!' He shook his head and his long silver hair glimmered in the sun and his dog ears twitched in anger.
"You got fleas or something, Inuyasha?" a black haired guy called from the porch of a near by cabin.
"Feh! You know I don't, dumb ass! I just can't believe she's here..."
"Relax. From what you told me on the airplane, she doesn't want to see you either!" He laughed, then got bonked on the head by an aggrivated Inuyasha.
"Miroku, you're an idiot!" Inuyasha said furiously. Even though he had just met Miroku on the plane here, it felt as if they had know eachother for years. "And besides, I don't care if she doesn't was to see me, she can kiss my ass!"
"That's the way to be, Inuyasha!" Miroku said with a fist in the air as he jumped off the low porch onto the bright green grass. "Anyway, I saw some babes walking around earlier, so you can get nice and distracted..."
"Feh!"
"Hehe..." Miroku felt sorry for Inuyasha. On the trip here he explained how he had just broken up with his girlfriend, Kikyo. It broke his heart, he had said, but he had to do it. He wouldn't explain why, though. When they got to the camp, they saw that Kikyo was a councelor as well. He was real upset, and Miroku made it his mission to find a new summer romance for his new friend and partner in crime.
Suddenly, a booming voice came out over the camp. "Attention, all coulselors! Please report to the main ofice for instructions. Now."
"Seems nice enough," Miroku said as the two boys walked to the main office.
"You'd be surprised..." Inuyasha said in a tone that made Miroku curious.
"Hmmm... do you know this mysterious voice, Inuyasha?" he asked slyly.
"You could say that..." he replied as they reached the large building.
&nbs p; "Welcome to Camp Natsu Aikou, counselors. I am director of this camp. You can call me Sesshomaru," the tall, silver-haired man on the soap bow announced. His amber eyes shot around the group, sending shivers through the gruop of teenagers. He looked at each one, as if daring them to defy him. "Now, you are all here to be leaders and chaperones for the children that attend this camp during the summer. For two and a half months, you will have to become responsible young adults and actually use the space between your ears for something that could mold a child's life. I take this very seriously, so if you screw up, have no doubts that I don't have a problem with sending you home," he concluded. The room was silent as the teens soaked in everything the stoic director said. "You have already been assigned. Today get to know the kids in your cabin, and tomorrow at breakfast you will receive further instructions. You are dismissed." He stepped off the soap box and walked away before anyone could say anything.
The room was silent, the group of teenagers not sure of what to do. "Well, that was... interesting." The voice spoke over the calm, breaking the ice among them. Everyone looked at the girl who spoke. Her bright red hair was up in two large pigtails, and her green eyes were lit with innocence. "Umm... Hi everyone, I'm Ayame. Nice to meet you all," she said with a cheerful smile.
Kagome took this as a chance to introduce herself. "Yeah, hi, I'm Kagome." She walked up to Ayame and took her hands in hers and shook them lightly. Ayame rewarded her with a large smile.
Inuyasha gulped. 'Damn it! It was hard enough being in the same room with Kikyo...' he though as he looked at the tall dark-haired girl standing in the corner. 'But now there's a girl, Kagome or whatever, that looks almost like her twin! Shit, this is gonna be a long summer...' Then he took a better look at the girl that was shaking the red head's hands, and saw that even though they appeared alike at first glance, Kagome and Kikyo looked very different. Kagome was a couple inched shorter than Kikyo and her hair was a bit shorter as well. The biggest difference was the eyes, though. Even though they were the same chocolate brown color, they were so different. Kikyo's eyes had always been shallow and plain, feeling of no emotion. It was as if they were frozen in an eternal sleep, unable to properly see the world. That's what broke them up. She just couldn't feel any emotion and it tore him apart. But Kagome's eyes were full of passion and happiness; they sparkled under the fluorecent lighting of the large room. Her smile was wide and true, making his heart shot upward into his throat.
"And I'm Sango! Hello! What a pretty name!" Sango shot forward and shook both girl's hands furiously with a smile. Miroku gave her the once-over and decided to concentrate on getting closer to this particular girl. He grinned a lecherous smile and stepped forward.
"Hello, ladies, I am Miroku," he said as he took each girl's hand one by one and kissed it. When he got to Sango's, he held her hand after the sweet gesture and gazed into her magenta eyes with his bright blue ones and said, "It's so nice to meet you, my love."
"The pleasure is all mine..." she began. Suddenly she stopped herself mid-sentence and her cheeks flushed many shades of red and pink as she felt a stray hand on her backside. "Get your hands off me, you pervert!" she yelled as she slapped him away, leaving a throbing hand print on the young man's face.
"You just couldn't resist, could ya monk?" Inuyasha called as he came over and help Miroku up.
"You're a monk, and you felt me up!" Sango screamed, her voice echoing around the room. "Aren't there some vowes or something against that?!"
"Hehe..." he laughed.
"Feh!" Inuyasha said. Kagome's eyes shot to the silver-haired boy. Instanly, she knew he was the most gorgeous guy she had ever seen in her life. He had the brightest amber-gold eyes and the cutest little silver doggy ears resting atop his head. His clawed hands had the back of Miroku's colar and helped pull him up. She felt the slight burning sensation on her cheeks as she kept looking at him, unaware she was starring. He noticed and said without thinking, "What? You have an eye problem wench?"
Kagome's eyes shot glares of anger at him, his ears flattening against the top of his head in fear. "What did you call me, dog boy?!" she roared, scarring the whits out of everyone.
"Hehe... Nothing..." he struggled to say. 'Man, what a bitch... She's awesome!' he thought with a grin.
"Now Inuyasha, be nice to the ladies," Miroku said as he waved a finger at him.
"I'll never be as 'nice' as you, Miroku," he said with a sneer. Miroku's face reddened, but his expression never changed. "Well, girls, this ill-temper dog is Inuyasha."
"Feh!" he said as he crossed his arms and turned around. "At least I'm not a perv," he replied with a grin.
"You shouldn't be so cocky, mutt-face. I'm getting sick of that smirk," a male voice sounded off. Inuyasha turned around to find a boy with a black ponytial and light green eyes standing with one arm around Ayame and the other arm around Kagome. Ayame only blushed, but this little PDA really pissed Kagome off. She brought her elbow up to connect with his jaw, causing him to release his hold on her immediately.
"Don't ever touch me unless I give you permission, which I won't. You got that?" she said as she shot a killer glare at the wolf demon.
"Yeah, whatever..." he said as he rubbed his jaw. Inuyasha started laughing and received a death glare from him. "I'm Kouga, by the way."
"Yeah, no one cares," Inuyasha told him.
"You wanna take this outside mutt-face!"
"Stop calling me that you son of-"
"That's enough!" Kagome yelled as she stepped between the boys, pushing their chests to part them. "We're hear for the kids, not a macho man contest!"
"Feh!" Inuyasha said as yet again he pouted.
"Don't worry, mutt-face, this isn't over," Kouga said as he stomped out of the room.
"Men are such babies," a new voice announced. Inuyasha's expression dropped as he heard the farmiliar voice.
'Kikyo...'
"Who are you?" Sango asked with a smile.
Kikyo returned it, and held out a hand. "I'm Kikyo."
Sango shook it, and said, "Nice to meet you!"
Kikyo walked over to another girl standing in the corner. Her long white hair fell passed her lower back and her stony gray eyes were narrow. "Kikyo, why are you bothering with these wimps?" the young woman announced.
"Tsubaki, we need to get along with them all summer, might as well make a good start."
"Fine," she sighs. She approached Sango and kagome. After a quick half bow, she said, "I'm Tsubaki. It's a pleasure." The last part was added on with a sickeningly sweet tone, causing Kagome to become uneasy.
"Nice to meet you, too," Sango said, also feeling uncomfortable under the stony watch of Kikyo and Tsubaki.
"Come on, let's go," Kikyo said as she approached the door.
"Okay." They both exited the building without another word, leaving everyone else speachless.
"Well, I think I'll take my leave as well," another voice said. The young man went toward the door. His black hair was in a braid and his bright red eyes glinted randomly, like lightening. "Kouga is my partner, and hopefully he's cooled off by now. By the way, I'm Hiten." He exited quickly, leaving no room for comment or question.
"Oh! We should get going, too!" Ayame said suddenly, hopping over to yet another corner. "Come on, Yura!" she said as she pulled on the young woman's hand. She stepped out where everyone could see her, revealing shout back hair and deep red eyes.
"Okay," she said. "By the way, Inuyasha. You have great hair," she said with a wink as she was dragged out of the room, leaving only Kaogme, Sango, Miroku, and a red Inuyasha.
Kagome giggled at the look on the inu-hanyou's face. He shot her a look and she laughed harder. "Kagome, let's go before you piss someone off!" Sango said with a sigh as she dragged her partner out of the room. "We'll see you guys later!" she called over her shoulder as Kagome just kept laughing.
Miroku patted Inuyasha on the shouler with a sigh. "Man, you're a babe magnet. Kagome already digs you, man."
"Feh! Well, you seem kinda 'attached' to Sango already."
"What can I say?" he said as they walked to the door. When they got outside, they saw Kagome and Sango walking up the small hill to the girl's cabins.
'I think this summer will be better than I thought...' they both thought simultaneously as they watched the girls who had already stolen their hearts walk away.
The young woman hopped off the bus onto the grassy field, the afternoon sun instantly beating on her long raven hair. Her deep chocolate brown eyes scanned the horizon. To the far left lay a dirt baseball field, the newly layed white chalk lines showing brightly on the brown of the earth. Next to the field were an assortment of cabins.
