-DING-

 

Having been jarred out of her already restless sleep Kagome blinked a couple of times making the motions to stretch then remembered where she was cramped. She shifted in the small seat, it would have to do for now, and refastened her seatbelt as the sign instructed.

 

“Hey you awake again?”

 

She looked over at the voice and gave her a tired smile.

 

“Yea sorry for zoning out on you so much, I couldn't sleep at all last night I was so excited about today!” The haze of her nap now being shaken off the butterflies returning to her stomach.

 

“This is going to be amazing Sango! How long have we've dreamed of this?? I can't believe we're really going!” She blushed realizing how loud she was talking after a couple of irritated coughs and looks her direction.

 

“Now, now don't forget who made this trip possible my lovely ladies...” Miroku grinned over at the two girls with only one eye opened.

 

“Why didn't you tell us you were up Miro!” Sango hissed quietly. Kagome just giggled.

 

“Yes, yes we know darling and we are foreeever grateful.” Drawing out the syllables dramatically she rolled her eyes.

 

“I take offense to that. You should be more grateful to my friendship and my family.” He looked mad but both of the girls knew him enough to realize he was just pouting for attention. Sango being in the middle of the cramped row of airplane seats indulged him with a chaste kiss on the cheek.

“How's that for gratitude?”

 

“Honestly...lacking, I'm going to at least need some tongue.” He gave one of his token guilty smiles and Kagome winced awaiting the slap.

 

“Now you're the one who's not being thankful enough. Take what you can get ya pervert. Don't think because you whisked us away to some beautiful resort we're going to fall all over you. Kagome and I will have a full time job of finding our own hot guys, you're on your own!”

 

At the mild response Kagome exhaled, good they wouldn't be getting escorted off the plane for causing a scene, not yet anyway.

 

“Fine be that way, besides with what I've heard of island beauties and how they `lay' us right after we get off the plane I'm as eager as you two for our final landing!”

 

She zoned out looking out the small window while Miroku and Sango continued boasting who would get more while on their trip. Kagome would have never been described as a quiet girl but around her two best friends she was lucky if she could keep up. They bickered like an old married couple but mention it to either and you'd be in for it. That was how it had always been though and Kagome was grateful for it.

 

Sango and Kagome had met sophomore year of high school. They shared several advanced classes and ended up talking more frequent and sitting together for lunch daily. By the end of the year they were inseparable and spent the entire summer together. Miroku had been a transfer student junior year. Having come from a strict boarding school up north he was a complete slacker but amazingly smart by nature. He took a liking to Sango almost immediately like several guys had but his persistence made him part of the group in the end. Sango's hot temper and harsh comebacks had sent most of her would be suitors running with their tail's between their legs. But Miroku always just remarked with something about cats and claws or hoping she was just as passionate in all aspects. He never gave up and still hit on her whenever he had the chance usually but the three of them had become very close despite his perverted nature. He was a good guy at heart and if nothing else Miroku was great for comic relief or an ego boost the way he lavished compliments on them.

 

Sango being the most studious of the group never really dated but Miroku had been fiercely protective of both her and Kagome who entertained a couple of dates over the last two years. Kagome had ended up in one relationship with a boy named Houjo but despite how nice and perfect he was, she never found the spark she was looking for. He was more like a good friend than a boyfriend and they rarely did anything remotely sexual. But he was nice to have around for awhile. They broke up half way through senior year, he seemed upset but she justified that she just didn't deserve him. That and he bored her to death, although she'd never tell him. A girl would be lucky to have him but in the end nice guys just weren't her type. `That's got to be healthy.' She glanced up worrying sometimes about thoughts like that, who thought that?!

 

Overall high school had been one long bore and disappointment after another. She made fabulous grades to ensure getting into the perfect college on scholarship and high achievement awards but it had all left a sort of bad aftertaste. She never had done anything crazy or fun. Didn't drink, party, or hang out with the wrong crowds, none of it was her style. But she was restless for excitement and something new. So when Miroku volunteered his family's timeshare for their summer adventure her jaw nearly dropped at the location. It was perfect.

 

Smiling at the bright puffy white clouds the plane flew even with, she pressed her face against the insanely thick plastic stretching her eyes down below. `We must be in California by now, there's less than an hour left to this flight. With another five to go on the next,' groaning inward at that thought she looked back to the clouds. They were her favorite part about flying, so beautiful and so bright it almost hurt.

 

“Ooh Sango,” gasping she tugged on her friends sleeve sitting back in her seat so she could see the window. “Look at the way the sun is coming through, it's like something you'd see in a painting.”

 

Sango paused mid sentence with Miroku turning to view out the window. “Oh wow you're not kidding its breath taking.”

 

“Eeehh...keep me away from there, if I realize just how high up we are I'm going to start getting queasy.” Snatching his book from the pocket in front of him Miroku buried his nose into it as fast as possible, attempting to ignore the way his stomach had flipped over.

 

“You're such a baby Miro,” Kagome teased giving his leg a poke. He ignored her other than a subtle glare.

 

“This is going to be the most exciting thing I've done my whole life.” Sango breathed the light from the window dancing off her eyes. It gave her a dreamy sort of look.

 

“Me too, I'm glad it can be with you guys.”

 

She looked at me a moment then snickered “That was pretty cheesy Kagome.”

 

“Hey shut up! It was from the heart damnit! See if I say anymore nice things about you two!”

 

“Don't get me involved,” Miroku muttered over a now laughing Sango.

 

They were all cut off by the pilot announcing the beginning of our initial descent into LAX. There was shifting though the plane of trays being stowed and seats moved into their upright position. Despite mocking her seconds earlier Sango squeezed Kagome's hand, she'd never admit it but landings made her a bit nervous too.

 

“Might I have something to squeeze as well my sweet, it's only fitting; my fear of heights is overwhelming, I'm nearly paralyzed by it! I'm sure it would make me feel much safer.” A charming smile plastered on his face, both girls narrowed their eyes at him. “Um...on second thought I'd feel much safer just reading my book and keeping my hands to myself...don't need to add any turbulence to the landing!” ~
