InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Surf, Sun and Slippers! ❯ Sunset Swimming ( Chapter 4 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

A/N: Hey mina! I'm so sorry to keep you guys waiting all long, as all of my author's notes have said but if you haven't heard, my hard drive crashed taking everything including the new chapters for this story I had loaded. So I'm rewriting EVERYTHING (awesome...not). So I'm sorry if there are some errors in this, and that it's so short. But I don't have a ton of time I'm afraid and now limited computer access as well. If it were up to me I'd just write all day buuuuuuut...its not and I have a job heh. Well anyway, this is a short chapter (sorry again) but I wanted to post a little something. Again sorry for the wait, I've just been doing a lot of work on my other fic's. But I'll never stop writing a story, the updates just might be slower than others. Just have some faith in me. Ja! Laurell

After a refreshing shower thoroughly washing all the chlorine and gritty feel from lack of sleep off her, Kagome stuck her hand out into the cold, feeling around before finding and grabbing the fluffy towel. Drying off then wrapping it around her body she walked out of the bathroom finding Miroku laying on the couch.

"Hey so you are still alive." She teased. In response to her he opened one eye.

"Barely," he muttered closing it again to exhausted to even comment on her only wearing a towel.

"Don't you even think about giving him pity, he deserved every bit of it!" Sango grinned from where she was sipping a bottle of water at the kitchen table. Her hair was still soaking wet and dripping slightly on the floor.

"We're going to need to do some grocery shopping," Kagome said peeking out the window, the sun was still shining brightly but considerably lower in the sky now. "Where is the nearest grocery store Miro?"

"Hmph." He pouted turning his head into the cushions.

"Awww Miroku, don't be mad Sango almost killed you." She giggled, he stayed pouting.

"Do you wanna kiss and make up?" At those words his eyes shot open looking over to Kagome with puppy dog eyes.

"Oh please!" Sango yelled chucking the empty water bottle at him. "Stop being an idiot and lets just get changed and head to the store!" Storming off into her room, most likely to get changed, Kagome glanced down to her friend again. He sighed with a sly smile.

"What's the use." Miroku shrugged.

"You know she only does it because she likes you," his eyes widened while Kagome jumped up to rush into her own room leaving him staring for a minute before snapping out of it.

"Wait! Oi! Kagome, what did you just say!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Way too long to get ready later, the three bounced down the steps to their rented jeep. The girls giggling while Kagome retold her meeting with a certain possibly dead surfer.

"He actually said that when you woke him up! Haha, that's the best thing I've heard all day!"

Sango hopped in the back seat, while Miroku jingled the keys into the ignition taking back off the way they had come earlier that morning.

"The store is just up here past an old town with shops and restaurants." Miroku said, driving at a casual speed so he didn't have to yell. Gathering her hair Kagome locked it in place with a loose bun to keep it out of her eyes and slid her sunglasses down low on her nose peeking over them every so often. The store was pretty small and more expensive than things were on the mainland but the three of them had been saving for enough time they had plenty of funds. Their graduation money was definitely going to a great cause they agreed.

"Oooh Kagome what ice cream flavors should we get?" Sango drooled flinging open the freezer door and tossing pints into the half full cart.

"Hey! Hey! We're just supposed to be getting a couple of necessary supplies!" Miroku protested waving his hands in the air. Sango glared over her shoulder at him flicking her ponytail.

"Ice cream IS a necessary supply!"

"Come on both of you," Kagome laughed. "No more fighting for you two today."

Sulking they both turned away walking in opposite directions, Kagome sighed with a smile taking the cart up to check out.

------------------------------------------------------------- -

"You know," Sango mentioned with a spoon already hanging out of her mouth having dug into the ice cream as soon as the got back. "We should go ahead and start planning stuff for the rest of the week. You know, maybe some snorkeling or a tour or something? We gotta do some tourist stuff!"

"Do you we really have to?" Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Of course! I picked up some brochures at the airport while we were waiting for our luggage." Digging in her carry on bag's pocket Sango pulled out a handful of wrinkled pamphlets sporting colorful pictures. "Oooh a helicopter ride!" She squealed opening one.

"No, no no! No heights!" Miroku shouted.

"Hey what about this one?" Kagome held up one. "It's an all day snorkeling trip with lunch and a sunset buffet! It sounds nice. They take us to some cliffs south of here with natural reefs, then on a tour of the area by boat." Sango leaned over peering over her shoulder. "It sails every Wednesday and Saturday, this does look like fun. What do you think Miroku?" Handing it to him he looked it over smiling.

"This does look good. Hey and it has scuba diving too if you bring your license! Now we're definitely going. I'll go book us three spots ok?" The girls nodded while he went to grab his phone. Stealing Sango's spoon Kagome grabbed a bite of Rocky Road.

"So do you think you'll actually see that guy from earlier again?"

"I dunno, I hope so but it's not like he's the only hot guy on this island." She laughed not letting on how much she was hoping to run into Inuyasha soon. "Let's go down to the beach, we haven't seen it yet and I bet the sunset is coming up."

"Ok!" Putting the ice cream back in the freezer Sango leaned in the hallway. "Miroku come meet us on the beach when you're done!" He waved from his bedroom and the girls put on their flip flops heading for the salty shore.

Balancing on the rocks carefully climbing down them until they could jump on the beach the best friends laughed as Kagome lost a sandal in the rocks and had to fish it out. The sun had melted into a red splash thrown against the sky and its crimson reflections were shimmering in the small waves. The beach was empty except for a couple sitting a few feet away also enjoying the sight. Kagome crept forward putting a foot in the ocean cautiously. "Sango come here! The water feels great! It's warm!"

"Really? You're not joking?"

"No come here!" Reaching for her friend she took her hand pulling her into the water. Wincing out of habit she looked down in surprise. "It is warm...wow, how did it get that way?"

"It's the natural temperature year round." Miroku smiled walking up next to them.

"You never told us that."

"I honestly forgot." He laughed kicking his foot in the surf.

"Oh and Miroku?"

"Yeees my dear?" He asked when Kagome came towards him. Standing close to him she put her hands on his chest leaning up and smiling. His eyes widened when she whispered seductively. "This is for earlier..." Right before shoving him hard backwards into the water soaking him in his clothes. Sango collapsed laughing and holding her sides. Miroku still sitting in the water massively splashed both girls who were also fully dressed. Sango screamed running while Kagome tried to hide behind her. It proved futile as Miroku eventually ended up dragging of them both down. Giving up they swam watching the sunset clothes and all. Once the sun had dipped below the horizon the girls stood up heading back towards the beach.

"Miroku!" Sango complained loudly. "My clothes are soaked! I can't believe you!" She was half laughing though. Kagome shook her head hugging herself as she walked back onto the beach the sand sticking to her ankles and feet. Miroku grinned looking her up and down slowly taking in every inch of the wet clothing clinging to her curves. "Ah! You Perv!" Sango yelled spinning on her heel and storming off back to the room. "Good luck getting us to unlock the door!" Kagome screamed taking off running.

"Hey! Wait!" He cried chasing after them.
