Chapter 1

Childhood Friends

A girl drove up to the driveway of the house and honked the horn of her silver Solara. Two girls came out of the front door of the house, lugging their heavy suitcases. The girl in the car had red hair that was put into two ponytails. She had a lily in her hair and green eyes. She was wearing a lavender tank top and dark blue jeans and sneakers. She opened the trunk of her car and stepped out. One of the girls lugging her luggage had long raven black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a green skirt and a white T-shirt that matched her white flip-flops. The other had long raven hair that was in a high ponytail and light brown eyes. She was wearing a hot pink shirt that had a square cut at the neckline and a black skirt and sneakers to match it.

"Are you ready to go?" asked the girl with the red hair.

"You bet Ayame!" the girl with the white flip-flops answered. She lifted her heavy luggage into the trunk. The other girl did the same thing.

"This is going to be the best vacation ever!" the girl with the ponytail exclaimed. She turned to the other girl. "Kagome, you did reserve a vacation house for us right?"

"Duh Sango!" retorted Kagome. She reclined Ayame's seat forward far enough to climb into the back seat of Ayame's Solara. She moved the seat back into its original place.

Sango took the shotgun seat and set her carry on the floor. Ayame climbed into the driver's seat and drove out of the driveway and to the airport.


A hanyou with long silver hair, dog-ears, and gold eyes carried his luggage on his shoulder in the airport. He was wearing black jeans and a red T-shirt that said, "Feh." When he reached his departing gate, he found two of his other friends already there, waiting for the passengers to be called. One of his friends with long brown hair in a high ponytail and blue eyes was reading a magazine but looked highly annoyed. He was wearing long khaki shorts and a plain brown T-shirt. The hanyou's other friend had black hair that was in a small ponytail and had violet eyes. He wore a black shirt that had white lettering that said, "Do you want to bear my children?" and wore light denim jeans. He was flirting with a pretty girl.

The hanyou came over and stood in front of his friend with violet eyes. "Hey Miroku, lay off with the flirting will you?" asked the hanyou. He dropped his heavy suitcase from his shoulder and onto Miroku's foot. Miroku yelped in pain as the girl he was flirting with went away.

"Finally! I'd never think that the pervert would stop flirting constantly!" the other said.

"Dammit Inuyasha! What do you have in that suitcase anyway? Rocks?" asked Miroku, rubbing his foot.

"Feh. Save your flirting energy for the hot girls at the beach you stupid pervert." Inuyasha replied in a bored manner. He looked at his other friend and said, "Koga, what are you reading?"

"Just some stupid magazine I was reading to stop myself from listening to Miroku and that girl flirting constantly." Koga answered.

Miroku stared at Koga. "So? You're going to be flirting with tons of girls at the beach when we get there you moron." Miroku answered.

"So what? I'm saving my sexual energy until then." Koga shot back. Inuyasha snorted. He looked at the hanyou. "What's you're problem?"

"Nothing." Inuyasha said trying not to laugh.

"Flight 156842 is now boarding. I repeat Flight 156842 is now boarding." The intercom said loudly. Inuyasha and Koga hastily covered their demon ears. Miroku stood up and picked up his carry on and suitcase.

"That's our flight. We should get going." Miroku replied, stretching.

Inuyasha and Koga grabbed their plane tickets and their belongings. The three friends walked over to the entrance of the plane, presented their tickets and passports, and boarded the plane to the sunny beaches of San Diego.
