The next morning Kagome awoke with a happy sigh and stretch, she looked around before remembering she was 5 hours of ocean and the length of America away from her home. She smiled walking over to her sliding glass door and pushing it open. Stepping out on the balcony she leaned over it a little feeling those constant trade winds gliding over her face. Turning to go back into her room she checked the clock relieved to see it was only ten and she hadn't missed too much good tanning. Walking to Sango's door she pounded on it.

"Sango! Wake up; we've got a date with the sun!" Pausing to listen she threw open the door. Sango groaned from the noise pulling the comforter tighter around her.

"Sango! Get your lazy ass out of bed!" Kagome grabbed the corner of the comforter pulling it off.

"Kagome!" She cried in protest wrestling with the blankets. "I'm on vacation let me sleep in!"

"No! We're going to the beach!" Proceeding with a tug of war match over the expensive comforter. With one final yank Sango being the stronger girl hauled the blanket back over her body tugging Kagome down onto the bed.

"Saaango!" She whined from on top of her.

"Well good morning to me." The girls looked over to find Miroku leaning against the doorframe with a cup of coffee in his hand, a large grin plastered on his face.

"Oh god." Kagome huffed pushing herself off Sango and her bed. "It was an accident freak boy, so calm down." She stormed out of the room past the still smiling Miroku heading into the bathroom.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face she had just started to put her hair up into a pony tail when she heard a scream. Rushing into Sango's room she found Miroku lying on the floor next to Sango's bed looking quite confused.

"NOW I'm up!" Sango yelled jumping off the bed and exiting quickly a heavy blush covering her cheeks.

"What did you do?" Kagome looked down apathetically.

"Nothing, I just got in bed with her!" Miroku protested getting up. Kagome laughed throwing a hand towel at his face and going back to her room to change. Picking out a light pink bikini more strings than fabric, she smiled admiring how good she looked in it. 'Perfect for meeting some cute surfers.' She nodded into the mirror turning around one last time before slipping a short skirt and sandals on as well.

"What are you doing today Miro?" Kagome asked opening a cabinet pulling out a box of cereal and the milk.

"I'm going to go hiking The Kukui Trail with a small tour group. Wanna come? There's no reservations."

"How long of a hike is it?" She asked putting the milk carton in his empty hand before hopping up onto the counter and digging into her breakfast.

"I think five miles."

"Oh god, no I'm good. I'm on vacation, not at summer camp." He laughed.

"Your loss. You get to walk the Waimea Canyon floooor..." Miroku taunted. She tapped him on the nose with her spoon, which he quickly rubbed off.

"You have fun with that; I'll be relaxing and working on my tan." Shrugging he wandered back down the hall. Finishing her cereal she rinsed the bowl leaving it in the sink to wash later.

"Sangooo." She called down the hallway. "You ready?" The bathroom door swung open to show a rather disgruntled looking Sango walking out.

"Climbing in bed with me...abusing a tired state of mind!...Some vacation." She grumbled between curses.

"Oh shut up, let's go!"

"You are way to hyper..." Sango winced swinging her beach bag onto her shoulder. "Did you remember to bring some drinks?" Kagome nodded pointing to her own large tote bag in her hand.

"Miroku we're leaving now! We've got our cell phones so remember to bring yours and call if you need anything! Have fun hiking!" Kagome yelled down the hall.

"Ok! See you for dinner tonight!" Miroku shouted back from his room. Sango stubbornly glared at the offensive last door, Kagome shrugged pulling her sunglasses down and opening the door to head out.

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

"Now there's someone your type." Sango purred to Kagome from where they were laying on their towels. A young looking surfer was coming up over the hill board still under one arm. His skin was slick with ocean water sparkling off a toned physique, and his hair was damp and frizzy pulled back into a pony tail that went down his back. Kagome instantly smiled recognizing that silvery shining hair, in the sun almost looking white.

"Hey!" Inuyasha yelled jogging up after recognizing her. Sango shut her mouth trying not to make it so obvious they had been checking him out.

"Hi Inuyasha, fancy seeing you here." Kagome propped herself up on her elbows pushing her chest up a little more than necessary in the string bikini. He glanced down at the movement quickly looking back up again hoping she hadn't noticed but unable to tell behind her sunglasses. She smiled mischievously.

"Yea, some friends and I are here again. It's a great spot for morning surfing and not as crowded as most in the area. So who's your friend?" He pointed the board towards Sango.

"This is Sango, one of the friend's I'm here with." Pushing her sunglasses lower to look up at him over her heavy eye shadowed lids Sango smiled. Inuyasha waved to her.

"Well I'm going to go in the water and leave you two alone." Sango grinned deviously to go with her suggestive tone giving Kagome a wink before rising up and heading for the ocean. Inuyasha shrugged obliviously before taking her place sitting on the towel and laying his board next to them.

"She's not going to be happy you got her towel wet." Kagome giggled. His wet board shorts clung to him and Kagome took a little time to let her gaze wander his form, her eyes protected by the large sunglasses. Inuyasha smiled before twisting the pony tail holder out of his hair and shaking his wet hair all over the towel.

"Does it look like I care?" He added flipping his hair back and running a hand threw the wet bangs sticking to his forehead. The silvery mass dripped down onto his still glistening body while it cascaded down his back now free. Long locks hung down tumbling across his shoulders and sticking to the broad collar bones that covered his chest. The bones that lead her stare down to the fabulous abs and chest she had been staring at yesterday as well. Her eyes traveled farther down past the well sculpted abs where the board shorts began, cutting off the beginnings of a light silvery trail of hair and the angular cut lines pointing down into the direction of his shorts carved on his hips. She nodded approvingly 'He looks even better wet.' She thought with a giggle. Inuyasha moved his knees up resting his elbows on them and staring out into the ocean, squinting his beautiful amber eyes from the light.

"Good waves?" Kagome questioned, knowing little about surfing but hoping it would be enough to get by. She was relieved when all he said was "Great actually. But it gets exhausting quick out there, I needed a break." Leaning back Kagome dug in her huge bag pulling out a still cold soda and handing it to him.

"Here you look like you could use this."

"Oh thanks!" His eye lit up as he grabbed the can popping it open and drinking a large swig.

"Mmm...not salt." He joked between gulps. Kagome laughed glancing up at another figure running toward them.

"'Yash you harassing' girls again?" A boy with long black hair questioned when he came to stand before them, a board also under his tan sculpted arm. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Kagome this is my friend, and I use that term loosely, Kouga." Reaching down Kouga shook her hand with a smile.

"He knows I'm his best friend." He joked while Inuyasha ignored him finishing the drink.

"Shippou still kickin out there?" Inuyasha questioned squinting his eyes further to see.

"Yep, I'm sure he'll be in soon though."

"Hey Kagome, isn't that your friend flailing in the surf?" Sitting up Kagome groaned at the sight of Sango trying to swim with one arm and hold her sunglasses on top of her head with the other. She was doing a terrible job of both. A wave came up from behind her crashing around her and soaking every inch of her. They all winced in unison.

“Yep…that's Sango…”

“So how did this dog meet such a beautiful girl like you Kagome?” Kouga flirted kneeling down so she didn't have to stare up at him. Kagome laughed flattered by all the attention on her first real day out. `This is better than even I expected!'

“Oh would you cut off the charm, you know she can see straight through you.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “And she thought I was dead and climbed in the van.” Kagome turned bright pink at how the story sounded once again.

“Ugh! You're telling it wrong!” She cried embarrassed. Inuyasha laughed rooting around in her bag. “WHAT do you think you're doing?” He grinned snatching a bag of chips and opening them.

“Getting a snack.”

“Hey!” She protested making a swipe for them; he easily moved them out of her grasp. Sighing in defeat she went back to talking to Kouga.

“No, no, I was walking by and saw him lying in there! He didn't wake up, how was I supposed to not know if he was just asleep or passed out from heat exhaustion!”

“Or binge drinking the night before.” Kouga laughed, Inuyasha shot a glare to him silencing his friend.

“Well as a nursing student it's my responsibility to check!” She boasted proudly.

“Oooh you're a med student, you know I was thinking of going into radiology.” Kouga grinned sitting next to her.

“Would you keep your paws-“

“HELLO!” The three looked up to find a very angry and wet Sango glaring at them. “Was anyone going to help me out there!” A boy with shaggy red hair and green eyes came up to peak over her shoulder.

“Did I miss something guys…?”

Kagome couldn't help bust out laughing which only intensified Sango's glaring.

“I'm sorry Sango but….” She giggled trailing off.

“But you looked too funny like a dying seal out there.” Inuyasha finished laughing with her. Kagome's eyes widened at his remark but another wave of laughter shook her shoulders.

“WHAT!” Sango huffed before kicking sand on Inuyasha; he shrugged already covered in it. She pouted crossing her arms for a moment before finally smirking with them a bit.

“But it's really not funny!” She argued back, Kouga assured her it wasn't, she huffed pushing her sopping wet bangs out of her eyes and shaking her wet hair out flicking it Inuyasha's way on purpose. He squinted his eyes a bit unfazed by her attack again. The boy with red hair was still standing behind her looking rather confused at the four of them. Kouga jumped up to wrap an arm around his shoulders.

“Oh and this is Shippou Kagome!” He rubbed the kids hair with his knuckles, Shippou winced a bit moving away from it. “He's the runt.” Kouga laughed mischievously.

“Hey! I am not a runt anymore! I'm as tall as you Kouga.” The younger boy protested his eyes were intensely green sparkling in the sunlight.

“Yea leave him alone for once Kouga. Shippou this is Kagome and her friend Sango, we just met them recently.” Inuyasha offered sitting up Indian style on Sango's towel. Sango and Kagome waved at the introduction Sango also nodding over to Kouga before kicking Inuyasha lightly.

“You're on my towel still…” She said in a low tone, glaring down at him.

“Am I?” He cocked his head not moving.

“Inuyaaasha” Kagome scolded not wanting Sango too mad at him and receiving her patent back hand.

“Ok ok,” he muttered before scooting between the two towels and leaning against Kagome.

“H-Hey!” She stammered blushing. “What are you doing?”

“You told me I couldn't sit there so I moved.” He explained nonchalantly looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.

“I didn't mean for you to sit on me!” Sango laughed generously this time at Kagome's reaction to obviously being flirted with.

“Hey she said she didn't want you on her!” Kouga growled whacking him upside the head.

“What the fuck did you do that for!” Inuyasha yelled back. Shippou rolled his eyes sticking his board between the two obviously used to this situation. Kagome giggled.

“I'm the mediator between her and our other friend too.” She offered forgetting about the fight over her and standing up to pat Shippou's shoulder sympathetically.

“Yea I know. I'm the youngest and I'm constantly babysitting them it seems like.” He shrugged with one shoulder still holding the nose of his board out between the two men coming closer together in defensive stances yelling various profanities at each other. He swayed the heavy board with ease, the small arm motion making the nose smack into Kouga's stomach knocking him back.

“HEY!” Kouga growled.

“If you two idiots haven't noticed she's over here now.” He grinned tilting his head back to a slightly confused Kagome.

“Oh, are you two still going on about me? Well stop.” Kagome walked back returning to her seat next to Sango.

“And if you don't mind, you're blocking the light.” Sango noted slipping her sunglasses back on in a dignified manor lying down. Kagome smiled rolling her eyes.

“What are you doing tonight?” Inuyasha ventured with hopeful eyes. She smiled looking down to study her fingernails closely.

“Oh nothing that I know of why?” Sango smirked behind her sunglasses.

“Well you said you just got here; want us to show you around the island? We know some great local places for dinner.”

“Really?” Kagome perked up grinning. “That sounds great!”

“Yea I grew up here,” Kouga boasted puffing out his chest a bit. Kagome giggled.

“Well that sounds really fun. Can we bring our other friend along? He's a guy just to let you know,” She chuckled at the three's change of _expression.

“Relax,” Sango muttered joining the conversation again. “He's not either of our boyfriend's or something, he's just a friend who's looking to meet some local girls.”

“Yea he's nice.” Kagome smiled innocently.

“Nice?” Sango scoffed. “He's a pervert.”

“Sounds fine to me then,” Kouga laughed, Shippou rolled his eyes smacking him in the head with the nose of the board this time on the back of the head.

“Would you quit doing that! You're to give me brain damage!”

“You having brain damage would be redundant Kouga.”

Inuyasha laughed as Kouga pounced on Shippou.

“Oh you're going to take that back runt!” Inuyasha stood up brushing his board shorts off of sand shrugging at his friends wrestling nearby.

“Why don't we meet up around six tonight? Will your friend be back by then?”

“Yea, he's on a hike until three I think so that sounds perfect. So do you want to just meet here?” Kagome leaned over pulling her bag closer and digging through it before finding her cell phone. “What's your cell number incase we need to change the time or something?” She asked feeling bold for asking his number first. She punched the numbers in and saved it, calling his after so he had her number as well. He grinned picking up his board next to her.

“Well I will see you two lovely ladies later.” The girls giggled saying bye and waving. Inuyasha walked over smacking Kouga and Shippou who looked up confused while he kept running back out to the ocean for another round against the waves. Shippou darted away from Kouga at the opening and jumped into the surf as well. Kouga shrugged turning around to wave to the girls before grabbing his board and following his two friends already heading off shore.

“This vacation is looking up already, don't you think?” Sango nodded sitting up on her elbows joining Kagome staring into the ocean and the three boys. Kagome lowered her sunglasses staring at Inuyasha's still form sitting on top of his board staring into the horizon.

“I've got a good feeling about this.” She whispered to no one in particular.
