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

 

Inuyasha arrived at the beach just in time to see Miroku step out of his blue Corvette and run like a mad man toward him, stopping dramatically in front of the still moving jeep, striking the pose of a panicked pedestrian about to be struck down by an oncoming vehicle.

 

Inuyasha laughed at his friend's antics and played along with it by swerving his jeep in all directions and then came to a screeching halt, 3 feet short of making contact with him.

 

“Hey man what took you so long.”

 

Inuyasha's response was a big smirk plastered on his face.

 

“Never mind I don't want to know the details of you and Kikyou's escapades”, Miroku laughed out as he dodged the bag that was hurled in his direction.

 

“It's not like it's any of your business, but I wasn't with Kikyou. I'm thinking of breaking up with her anyways.”

 

“What? I thought you really liked her too, though I can't see why”, Miroku stated, mumbling the last part to himself.

 

“Eh she was getting to clingy. Anyways we came here for a competition. We don't have time for any romantic attachments.”

 

“Heh says you. I think this is the perfect place to find a romantic interest. Yash this is surfing central. Where else are we going to find chicks that dig surfing as much as we do?”

 

“Who is she?” Inuyasha questioned mischief dancing in his eyes.

 

“You know me too well man. Her name is Sango, and she's got the three S's.”

 

“The three S's?” Inuyasha asked crossing his arms over his chest.

 

“She's sweet, she's sexy, she surfs.” Miroku counted off on his fingers.

 

“I thought you were into the beach bunny type Miro.”

 

“Naa man my girl needs to know how to catch a wave.”

 

“Ya whatever you say. Speaking of catching waves, that last storm sure sent in a great swell of them. I saw some pretty radical ones as I came through to here.”

 

“Then what are we waiting for Yash lets hit the surf.” Miroku said already getting a head start to the shore, Inuyasha quick on his heels.

 

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

 

“Oh What a day”, Kagome said tiredly as she stifled a yawn. She had just closed down the surf shack for the day, a job that usually belonged to another girl who had called in sick at the last minute leaving Kagome responsible for running the shop till closing time.

 

Just as she was about to unlock her car Kagome was blinded by headlights of a car entering the lot. She quickly recognized the car as belonging to Sango, after all she only knew one person who bore the bumper sticker `I'd rather have a president who screwed an intern rather than our country.'

 

“Hey Kags”, Sango greeted.

 

“What are you doing here so late? You never work this shift”

 

“Tell me about it, the new girl who was supposed to start today called in sick at the last minute. Hey how did you know I was even here?”

 

“Eh I was to lazy to cook dinner tonight so I was on my way to go grab a bite, and I saw your car parked here and thought I'd ask if you wanted to come with.”

 

“Oh Thanks for the invite Sango, but I'm really beat from today. Could I maybe take a rain check on that?”

 

“Ah come on Kags. We'll even going to the Neptune Cocktail. I know it's your favorite,” Sango begged, giving Kagome a poor impression of the puppy dog eyes.

 

“All right, all right I'll come with you, but you're paying”, said Kagome putting on a fake glare.

 

Both girls giggled as they took off to dinner.

 

Kagome sat in the passenger seat of Sango's car, thinking about her upcoming day with Inuyasha.

 

I wonder what where we'll go tomorrow, or what we're going to do. I can't think of anything!? Oh this is just great. This is my first date that I've had in a long while and I'm going to seem boring because I can't think of anything to do. Wait a second…when did I start thinking about this becoming a date? Get a grip Kagome, he has a girlfriend, all he sees you as is potential competition. Speaking, of which I still haven't figured out my plan for winning the competition. Focus… Kagome… Focus.

 

After a few tries of striking up conversation Sango finally gave up on trying to grasp her companion's attention, and decided to turn on the radio, figuring she would get more life out of it than her distracted friend.

 

“Yoohoo Ms. LaLa land, we're here”, Sango said trying to analyze the blush that had started to spread across Kagome's face.

 

Avoiding Sango's `Tell me now' look. Kagome quickly hopped out of the car and strutted on into the restaurant.

 

As soon as they were seated Sango `not so subtly' tried to bring up anything that would get Kagome to spill what she had been thinking about. Finally she gave up and decided to bring up her own love life into the conversation since Kagome was obviously getting annoyed by her pestering.

 

“So, I was going to wait till later to tell you since it's so new, but what the heck I'm seeing someone.”

 

Kagome darted her head up that she had been hiding behind her menu, and shot Sango an incredulous look.

 

“What happened to Kurenoskay?”

 

“Oh come on Kagome don't give me that look he was so boring. All he ever wanted to talk about was stuff like the weather or the latest new technology and you know neither one of those topics interests me…unless the weather is a storm that just brought in a swell of waves, but you know what I mean.”

 

“Ok I can see where you're coming from”, Kagome stated as understanding hit her.

 

There was a long pause.

 

“So what's his name?”

 

Sango giggled at Kagome's sudden curiosity, and began a long conversation that lasted throughout dinner about her new mystery man named Miroku.

 

After the girls both finished their meal, Sango paid the bill and both of them headed out back to Sango's car. Once they reached the shrine Kagome was ready to leave the stress of the day behind and just crash.

 

“Wait Kagome, one more thing…uhh I'm meeting Miroku again in two days at the `Wave crasher competition kickoff' beach party, and I wanted to know if you would go with me so that you could meet him, please?” Sango pleaded.

 

“Ok Sango now tell me why you really want me to go”, Kagome replied giving her friend a knowing look.

 

Sango laughed.

 

“Ok you caught me. You see Miroku and I were talking and you see he has this friend that he says is single and we were going to try of hook you two up, that is if you're not already seeing somebody else”, Sango pried once more trying to figure out what Kagome's earlier distraction was.

 

“That's not it at all, first of all you know me Sango I'm not the partying type. I'm the type that likes to sit at home and write poetry if I'm not surfing. Plus don't even let me get started on the last guy you tired to set me up with, I sear he was like an octopus. He always had a free arm that was trying to touch me.” Kagome shuddered in revulsion at the memory.

 

“C'mon Kaggy just come this once and meet him.” Sango pleaded once more.

 

“No Sango I don't need to be set up, now if you will excuse me I'm tired and I want to go to bed.” Kagome turned to exit the vehicle but was stopped when the automatic locked shifted downward.

 

“Sango let me out”, Kagome whined.

 

“Not until you say yes”, Sango said in a singing voice.

 

“You do now that it is illegal to hold someone hostage against their own will.”

 

“Yes but the sooner you agree to the ransom, the sooner you'll be set free”, Sango stated in a matter of fact voice.

 

“Grrr Alright fine I'll go but the only reason I`m agreeing to this is because I'm tired and I want to go to bed”, Kagome said in defeat.

 

Sango smiled at her success and immediately popped open the lock of the passenger door. Kagome swiftly opened the door and promptly stepped out not giving Sango any more opportunity to add more to the `ransom'. Kagome gave her friend a look that stated the deal was sealed and with that Sango drove off.

 

Kagome's last thoughts before going to sleep drifted back to what her upcoming day with Inuyasha was going to be like.

 

Not too many miles away a silver haired man shared the same thoughts before slipping off into slumber.

 

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

 

The next day Kagome got an early start showered, ate breakfast, and spent about an hour trying on every outfit in her closet. Finally she decided upon wearing a white tank top that had a cartoon bunny with a surfboard design on it, and a pair of blue tie dye Capri's. After teasing her hair a bit with some mousse she was satisfied with her look, but kept having little wavering thoughts about Inuyasha maybe not having the same opinion. She didn't even know why she cared in the first place, but she just did.

 

Kagome arrived at Triton Park with five minutes to spare, and quickly spotted the silver haired surfer that had been invading her thoughts as of late.

 

He lingered by a tree until he spotted her hand waving at him. He sauntered over to her flashing a smile that she knew could make any girls knees go weak.

 

“Hey”, she said with a shy smile.

 

“Hey yourself”, Inuyasha said taking his sunglasses, giving her the view of his pools of amber.

 

Not wanting to be caught in an awkward staring contest Kagome averted her gaze.

 

“So are you ready to go”, Kagome recovered gaining some of her confidence back.

 

“I'm yours for the taking”, Inuyasha joked, or at least Kagome took it as a joke.

 

Kagome just rolled her eyes and acknowledged him to follow her.

 

Inuyasha became quickly dependent on the direction that she was going, after they had walked down few streets. He had no idea where they were.

 

“So, do we actually have a destination picked out or were you just planning on luring me to the nearest ally to kill me…or have your way with me”, Inuyasha said with his usual smug attitude.

 

“Negative to both of those. If that had been my original plan then I could have chosen one of the multiple alleys that we've already passed.”

 

Kagome paused and looked back at him with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

 

“But I guess I should warn you then that you had better stay on your best behavior or I'll be forced to do exactly that.”

 

“Which one? Kill me or have your way with me?”

 

The sparkle in Kagome's eyes turned into a glare, as she pivoted her heal and stalked on forward.

 

Inuyasha just chuckled and followed her lead.

 

Eventually they reached their destination, and it wasn't at all what Inuyasha had expected.

 

“Into the blue”, Inuyasha read aloud as he checked out their surroundings. They were at some sort of Children's aquarium.

 

“Out of all places we could have gone, why did you pick a kiddy place”, Inuyasha said slightly annoyed at the thought of spending the whole afternoon around little brats.

 

“For your information I volunteer at this place. I love coming here and helping little kids discover what's underneath the surface of the ocean. The look on their faces when they get to see and touch things that are so unknown to them.”

 

The look on Inuyasha's face said that he still wasn't anymore pleased to be here.

 

“Oh Come on don't be so grumpy. I promise that by the time we're done here that frown will be gone from your face.” That being said Kagome grabbed his hand and lead him inside. They passed various rooms that each has a different theme. One room was themed like the movie finding nemo and had several tanks that contained clown fish, and sea turtles, and all sorts of other fish that had been in the movie. Another room had a playground like theme to it but instead of there being monkey bars and a slide it was a ship that had a deck a wheel, and sails on it, it was a dream to any kid who aspired to be a captain of a ship. Kagome, who he noted was still holding his hand led him to a room that basically contained a manmade tide pool, and another pool that held de-barbed stingrays.

 

Then came what could only be described as a stampede, many wide eyed kids stood there anticipating what this room held in store for them. Inuyasha watched as Kagome instructed them all to take their shoes and socks off, briefly looking up acknowledging him to do the same. He then understood what she had been talking about. For a while he just observed her as she picked up starfish and held them out so all the kids could feel their rough texture. He continually stared at her until she looked up and caught him doing it. He quickly averted his gaze feeling stupid for letting her catch him ogling her.

 

Soon the kids were tugging on his pant legs and asking him questions, and he couldn't help but smile at their curiosity. Finally he decided to join in on the fun and joined Kagome in the tide pools.

 

A couple of hours later He and Kagome emerged out of the aquarium, both laughing due to the fact that they had tripped over each other while in the tide pool and had gotten soaked.

 

“Damn you got me drenched”, Kagome admonished jokingly as she stared at her reflection through the windows of shops.

 

“Damn me? I got you drenched”, Inuyasha said feigning hurt.

 

Kagome playfully swatted him on the shoulder, and then went back to finger combing her wet tresses.

 

`Hmmmm I wonder what we should do next'

 

“I know exactly what I want to do next”, Inuyasha stated as if he had read her mind.

 

“And what would that be?”

 

Her answer was an impish grin from Inuyasha.

 

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

 

“No! Absolutely not. Inuyasha I refuse”, Kagome heatedly affirmed, her hearing becoming momentarily impaired by the piercing scream of a person doing the exact thing that Kagome was refusing to be a part of.

 

`Bungee jumping…I should have known he would suggest something like this.'

 

“Come on Kagome. Where's your sense of adventure. You surf upon potentially dangerous waves that could crush you and yet you're scared of making one little leap off a bridge”, Inuyasha mocked at her.

 

“That's different. Surfing is a sport. This on the other hand is like suicide practice!” Kagome Scoffed

 

“Quit overreacting and get over here.”

 

Kagome stayed rooted to her spot. Inuyasha sighed and picked her up and threw her over his shoulder carrying her over to what she thought as `the death trap'

 

“Inuyasha put me down this instant. You can't make me do this”, wailed Kagome as Inuyasha refused to release her from the confinement of his arms.

 

“Kagome trust me, it will be just fine”, Inuyasha said as he loosened his hold slightly on her.

 

And for some crazy unknown reason, Kagome was compelled to believe him. She stopped fighting his hold on her and reciprocated it locking her arms tightly around him as if the whole world would fall apart if she let go.

 

Even as they fell Kagome didn't make a sound. She felt she had no reason to be scared with Inuyasha holding onto her so closely, and her clutching him as tightly to her as possible.

 

Once they were just swinging back and forth at the bottom of the bungee. Inuyasha pulled back slightly from Kagome to look to see if she was scared. The reaction he got from her put an instant smile on his face. Kagome threw back her arms and laughed. She just closed her eyes and let the wind flow through her hair as they swayed back and forth.

 

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

 

After the pair was finished with their little jumping experience, they decided to finish off their evening together with a nice long walk on the beach.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

“What?”

 

“I want to show you a place that means a lot to me. I've been going there ever since I was a little girl. To me it's the most precious spot in the world and I want to share it with you,” Kagome said shyly a blush adorning her already rosy cheeks.

 

“I would love to see it”, Inuyasha said looking back at her, a sincere look on his face.

 

“There is one rule though that you have to agree to before you can see it” Kagome said teasingly.

 

“And what would that be?”

 

Kagome came up to him closely and tiptoes up to his face, and for a second Inuyasha thought she was going to kiss him, but instead she whispered into his ear.

 

“No bringing anyone else here k”, Kagome said as softly a light breeze.

 

Inuyasha responded by interlocking their fingers together. Kagome led him down the beach until they reached a rocky pathway that was visible in the water because of low tide. Together they crossed it until they reached a cliff, which revealed a rope leading up to a crevice. She let go of his hand and started to scale it upwards until she reached the huge cleft in the nature made wall. She stepped inside the crevice, Inuyasha standing right behind her.

 

“Well this is it. Pretty neat eh?”

 

To Inuyasha neat was an understatement. This place was pure perfection. The water reflected up on the stony walls creating a marble effect. The Sun was now setting leaving a picture perfect mesh of orange pink and red in the sky, and the water glittered under the few rays of the sun that were still left in the sky, and you could see it all perfectly from this one spot. No city lights or buildings were visible, only what nature had to offer.

 

Kagome turned around only to find Inuyasha's face only mere inches from her own. Her breath hitched and her eyes fluttered shut as he closed the distance between them and delivered a kiss that took her breath away. He cupped her face with one hand and brought her back to kiss her again igniting a fire between them. Kagome responded this time shyly moving her lips against his in a slow intimate way. Inuyasha stifled a moan nibbling on her bottom lip seeking permission to intensify the kiss. Caught up in her steadfast passion Kagome linked her arms around his neck and brought herself closer to him. They kissed for what seemed a long time, but yet so short. As they separated Inuyasha leaned his forehead against Kagome's.

 

As their breath mingled Kagome felt completely content.

 

Then realization dawned on her.

 

`What am I getting myself into? I can't start liking him like this. If I do it will interfere with my plans. But can I really betray you Inuyasha especially after seeing this softer side of you, this side of you that I'm completely drawn to?

 

Inuyasha tilted her head up again to look at her. This girl that he had only known for three days was doing something to him, and he couldn't figure out what it was. But he liked it and wanted more of it. Silencing both of their trains of thoughts he kissed her again.

 

Inuyasha I have no idea what I'm going to do, but for right now I just want to be like this…

Hey guys Sorry for the wait >.< I tried to make up for it by writing longer this time. Hopefully you like…

 

By the way I'm starting to use some surfing slang, and a couple of Hawaiian words in this fic so I'll start putting little keys at the bottom of chapters so it makes a little more sense to you.
