Ch. 1- The Summer

Monday, June 9th. 11:55 AM.

The air was getting warmer as the days went by. Where there were once flower petals raining down from the trees, there were now bright sunny rays and the sound of cicadas buzzing. All these changes meant only one thing: summer would be coming soon.

At Shikon High School, the air was abuzz with chatter. The students, both human and demon alike, were all heading out to the cafeteria for lunch period. As they did, they all talked about one thing and one thing only: their plans for summer vacation. For instance, some girls sat at a table in the corner, chatting amongst themselves as typical girl cliques do.

"So what are you doing for the summer, Naomi?"

"Hmm...dunno. I'll probably go see my grandparents for a few weeks. What are you doing?"

"Probably just stay home and eat junk food."

The girls all laughed while nearby, a group of boys also chatted about their plans.

"What are you doing for summer break, Tatsuki?"

"I think I'll finally ask Mizune if she'll go out with me."

"Mizune? The snake demon girl you've been crushing on for the past few weeks?"

"Yeah. I figured it was about time, you know?"

"I don't blame ya. She is pretty hot!"

As the students talked and gossiped, there was one particular student who was heading up the stairs to the roof, holding a bundle in her hands. She had a look of excitement on her face and she couldn't stop the giggling that was bubbling up inside her chest. A warm blush was painted on her cheeks as she carried the bundle up the stairs. Her raven hair was tied up in a ponytail as a measure to keep off the summer heat.

Kagome Higurashi, a second-year student with spiritual powers, was going to give her boyfriend a homemade lunch she made.

In the past, she didn't think she'd ever do something like this: cooking homemade meals for someone she cared for. Now that she was actually dating someone for real instead of just sleeping around with guys, she couldn't contain her giddiness. She could imagine the look on his face, now, the moment he took that first bite. She honestly felt like they were already married, even though they were still in high school.

As Kagome headed up the stairs, her phone buzzed, causing her to pull it out of her pocket.

NEW TEXT MESSAGE FROM INUYASHA:

"Hey, where R U? I'm starving."

Kagome giggled as she began to text back.

KAGOME:

"I'll be there soon." ^^

INUYASHA:

"I hope so. My stomach's about to eat itself."

Kagome giggled. "Oh, Inuyasha..."

She then headed up the stairs, passing several students on the way there, particularly of the male variety.

"Hey...isn't that Kamakiri Kagome?"

"I heard they don't call her that, anymore...not since she and Inuyasha Taisho started going out about a couple of months back."

"Are you serious? Aww, man...I thought I could get a chance to score!"

"Dude, don't let Taisho hear you say that!"

"Are you kidding?! I wouldn't say it to his face! You know what he'd do to me?!"

Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes. It seems that despite how much things have changed, part of her reputation still followed her. Despite that, she smiled. She wasn't going to let that bother her. Not today. She was going to be spending a much-needed break with her beloved boyfriend.

Soon, Kagome opened the door to the school roof, where she was soon greeted by three familiar faces.

First was Sango Tachibana, a third-year sophomore that was skilled in martial arts and Kagome's best friend since childhood. Because of Sango's fierce and protective attitude, some people often called her Kagome's bodyguard. Her younger brother, Kohaku, had been injured from a hit-and-run earlier this spring, but thankfully, he survived the incident and was now in his third year of middle school.

Then there was Miroku Tatsuya, also a third-year student. He was a Buddhist priest-in-training who had a bit of a reputation amongst the female student body as a ladies' man. Even though he and Sango were dating now, it seemed that old habits died hard with him. To this day, Sango still doesn't know why or how she fell him, but here she was.

"Hey, Kagome!" Sango exclaimed.

"How's it going?" Miroku asked with his arm draped around Sango's shoulders.

"Pretty good," Kagome answered. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"Hey, baby girl."

Kagome turned and smiled fondly at the one who spoke: her half-demon boyfriend, Inuyasha Taisho.

Inuyasha was in his third year of high school, now. A half-demon born of a human mother and a dog demon father, Inuyasha had quite the reputation at the school for being a juvenile delinquent. He often had a nasty temper and got into fights with anyone who so much as even looked at him funny...at least, that's what people believed. Really, Inuyasha was a big marshmallow at heart with an affinity for small and cute animals. He actually adopted a stray kitten a few months back that he had affectionately named Miyuki.

"Hey, boo," Kagome said as she walked up to Inuyasha and stood on the very tips of her toes, kissing him on his lips while Miroku and Sango smiled at them.

It was hard to believe that just about three months ago, in the middle of spring, that Inuyasha nearly killed Kagome when they first met.

It all started way back in March. Inuyasha had been asked by Miroku to help him recover a confiscated DVD (Sexy-Ninja-Something-Or-Other, Inuyasha couldn't quite remember the name) during the night, sometime after curfew. During that time, Kagome came outside after being bullied by a bratty girl and her clique. Back then, Kagome had a bit of a foul reputation for sleeping around with guys and...well, the bullying got to be so bad for her, that she felt like she wanted to die. That night, Inuyasha nearly granted her wish, but he struggled with his inner demon.

Not wanting to bring harm to an innocent human girl, Inuyasha let Kagome go, thinking that he'd probably never run into her again...but it seemed that fate had other ideas.

The day after that, Inuyasha ran into Kagome at the school garden, wanting to get flowers for his mom since her birthday was coming, soon. Imagine Inuyasha's surprise when Kagome's idea of a reward was to strip down to her underwear and prepare to have sex with him. Needless to say, the half-demon was definitely appalled by this sudden turn of events and ran out. Upon hearing of Kagome's reputation, however, he suddenly felt the urge to see her more often.

Days passed and before too long, Inuyasha found himself deeply in love with Kagome, who began to reciprocate those feelings...even after Inuyasha's ex-girlfriend, Kikyo, came back to town, and Kagome was kidnapped by the deranged half-demon student, Izumo.

Since then, Inuyasha and Kagome officially became a couple.

"I brought you something," Kagome said as she held up the bundle, which she opened to reveal two lunchboxes. "One for me and one for you!"

"You made me one?" Inuyasha asked as he took one of the bento boxes.

"Just to show you that I love you," Kagome said.

Inuyasha smirked at her before he opened up the box, revealing an assortment of food such as chicken karaage, tamagoyaki (a little bit blackened in some parts), sweet potatoes, octopus weiners, rice balls, and fried pork cutlets.

"Wow, you made all this?" Inuyasha asked.

"I had a little help from my Mom," Kagome admitted. "I just thought that maybe you could use a change from eating instant ramen, every day."

Inuyasha shrugged. He didn't really have a problem with eating his daily cup of instant ramen...but then again, even that could get boring, now and then. Besides, Kagome did go through all this trouble of fixing this lunch box for him. The least he could do was at least try a bite. So, he sat down, took a pair of chopsticks and took a bite out of the tamagoyaki first...and the moment he did, all of a sudden, he found himself shoveling every morsel he could into his mouth while Kagome sat down beside him, giggling at his ravenous appetite.

"I guess it's safe to say you like it, huh?" she asked.

"Mm-hmm!" Inuyasha nodded.

"How come you never eat my homecooked meals for you like that?" Sango asked as she looked at Miroku, who gulped.

"Uhh...well...about that," Miroku said, nervously. "Y-you see, the thing is...I, err..."

"Well? What are you trying to say?" Sango inquired. "That I'm a terrible cook?"

Inuyasha snorted while Kagome glanced off to the side, an embarrassed blush forming on her face.

"Kagome, you don't think my cooking is terrible, do you?" Sango asked.

"...Well..." Kagome muttered. "Umm..."

'I can't just tell her that the last time I ate something she made, I ended up in the bathroom for almost 6 hours...!'

12:12 PM.

Empty trays and bento boxes were the only sign of a finished meal. The two couples remained on the roof, staring up at the sky. Miroku leaned against the wall with Sango, his arms still wrapped around her shoulders while Inuyasha lied on his back with his arms behind his head and Kagome lied with her head on his stomach, her hands folded over her own abdominal area.

There were so few clouds these days. Hardly provided any shade, but...they didn't mind. It was still beautiful to look at.

"So, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah?" Inuyasha asked.

"What are you doing for summer break?" Kagome inquired.

"Oh...I dunno," Inuyasha replied. "My parents and I are probably gonna go to our summer house for a few weeks."

"The one in Hokkaido, right?" asked Miroku.

"That's the only one we have," Inuyasha answered. "You ought to know. You've been there."

"Yeah, only once," Miroku pointed out.

"What are you going to do, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Oh, I don't know," Kagome replied. "I'll probably just stay home for most of the summer. Maybe go to a festival later."

"That sounds fun!" Sango added. "You know, my Dad got me a new kimono for summer! Maybe you and I could go, together!"

"And don't forget me, right, love?" Miroku asked.

"...You, I'm still skeptical about," Sango quipped, causing Miroku to drop his jaw while Inuyasha snickered.

"She's got your number, Miroku," he said, causing his best friend to sneer at him.

"Haha, very funny," Miroku said, sarcastically.

"What are you doing for summer, Miroku?" asked Kagome.

"Oh, you know," Miroku said. "This and that."

"By which he means trying to pick up chicks," Inuyasha retorted, prompting Miroku to toss his empty milk carton at his forehead. "Ow!"

"Oops! Did I do that?" Miroku asked, feigning innocence, causing Inuyasha to growl at him, but then Kagome gently reached up, took his left ear betwixt her thumb and index finger, and began to tenderly rub the fuzzy appendage, causing Inuyasha to sigh softly, a soft rumble reverberating in his chest, which made Kagome giggle at the feeling.

"That better?" she asked.

"Thanks, baby," Inuyasha said, locking his smoldering golden eyes with her chocolate brown orbs. Kagome sat up on her elbows before she crawled over to Inuyasha's face, prompting him to prop himself up, too, chuckling darkly as he gently cupped Kagome's face. "How'd you get to be so cute?"

"It's a gift," Kagome shrugged...before she soon wrapped her lips around his, causing him to moan softly in her mouth as he pulled her close.

Taking this as their cue to leave, Miroku and Sango glanced at each other before they smiled and promptly took the exit. Kagome moaned quietly, her hands gripping Inuyasha's shoulders while he let his hands roam down her back and her nice, slender curves, one hand slowly reaching under her skirt. That's when Kagome squeaked as she felt a set of claws slipping under her panties and squeezing her right butt cheek. Not long after, she pulled away, giving the half-demon a sultry grin.

"Naughty doggy," she said.

"I don't know any other way to be," Inuyasha smirked while Kagome lowered herself down, laying a trail of kisses down from his jaw to the base of his neck. "Ohhhh...ohh, yeah, right there, baby...!"

Another giggle bubbled from Kagome's throat.

"You like that, huh?" she asked.

"What do you think?" Inuyasha inquired, his crooked grin widening, showing off a glinting fang that he knew Kagome hated because it turned her on so bad.

"That's not fair," she said with a playful pout. "You know that I can't resist that."

"I know, that's why I do it," Inuyasha replied before they started to kiss, again.

"Mmm..." Kagome moaned as she momentarily pulled away squeezed her body up against his. "You know what'll be nice about summer break?"

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"We could have more moments like this," Kagome answered as she rubbed her nose up against his. "You and me, alone...together..."

"Yeah..." Inuyasha drawled as he brought her lips against his, his right hand gently brushing up into her hair. He pulled away again just to bury his nose in those luscious charcoal locks...to breathe in and drink her intoxicating scent of roses, mint tea, and vanilla.

God, he just loved this smell...

He loved her. Her body, her eyes, her smile, her personality, her scent...everything.

How in the hell did he ever get so lucky?
