Island GetAway (bar scene)

-

Tsume's tavern was busy that Friday night. All the college kids from Tokyo U. celebrating after the last exam of Finals Week. Chatter and laughter of mildly to extremely drunk twenty-somethings echoed everywhere. One of these sources of laughter being from the usual bar-seat table occupied by one senior, two juniors, and one sophomore. Kouga, InuYasha, Miroku, and Shippou respectively, had become regulars
at the local tavern as soon as they hit drinking age at twenty. Well, that and since they learned they could get a discount if they made sure to stay on the good side of friend and tavern waitress, Kagome, who could be seen now and then squeezing through the crowd in her standard dark green polo and black miniskirt uniform to take and deposit orders. Another bout of baritone laughter sprang up from the table occupied by the four guys.

 

"Ok, ok," Kouga gasped out, holding up his half empty beer to gain the others' attention, "In honor of our wonderful cruse vacation coming up very soon," hoots rang out from the other three, "I will pose the next question." He took a swig of his drink before slapping it back down on the round table and leaning in close, a mischievous glint in his dark blue eyes. "If you were stuck on a deserted island, who would you want to be stuck there with you?" They all seemed to think, grins not leaving their faces. "Miroku?"

 

The only human in the group perked up, his grin widening. "Sango, of course!"

 

"Figures." Shippou rolled his eye. Everyone knew of the monk-only-by-family-trade's reckless advances toward the science major, who completely shut him out using physical harm every time. Likewise everyone thought he was actually crazy in love, which was
highly unlikely, or just a crazy sucker for punishment, which was the preferred conclusion. The group laughed good naturedly anyway.

 

"What about you Yash?"

 

The known playboy hanyou smirked, "Kikyou." he said in a no-contest kind of voice. Groans erupted from all of them.

 

"You've gatta be kidding me." Kouga drawled, "You're still not over that dead-in-the-head barbie?"

"Hey, hey," InuYasha interrupted, raising his glass and closing his eyes sagely, "Out of all the women I've fucked, she was, by far, the best." Laughter erupted again. "'Bout you Wolf-shit, think you can do better?"

 

Kouga chuckled. "Ayame." InuYasha snorted while Miroku and Shippou just rolled their eyes.

"Also figures. She was the only girlfriend you had that treated you like a god, and by Kami did you love it." Shippou shook his head. The human and hanyou chuckled in agreement.

 

Kouga gave a half hearted glair. "Ok, Shippou, you've been giving a hell'ava lot of commentary. What about you? Who would you want to be stuck with?"

Said kitsune grinned and sat back in his chair, taking his time to look at each of his friends. "Kagome." All eyes grew wide and Kouga gave out a 'what the hell?!'. Shippou broke out into fits of uncontrollable laughter at their expressions. Once he calmed down a
bit he explained. "I'd want to be stuck with Kagome, because she would get right down to working on a way to get us off said deserted island." They all joined in on the laughter that time.

 

"Hello, boys!" A feminine voice called as its owner approached the table to grab the spare seat in between Kouga and Shippou.

 

"What are you doing slacking off Kagome?" Kouga greeted their friend.

 

"Yeah, Wench, make yourself useful and get us another round." InuYasha threw in. She was more their friend than his. He and the raven haired beauty never really got along.

 

Kagome glared at each of them and responded by stealing Kouga's drink as he was going for another swig and took one herself. "Not slacking. On break." She relaxed back in her seat. "And just because I'm a tavern waitress doesn't mean you have a right to call me wench, Dogboy."

InuYasha glared back. "Keh."

"Alright, enough of me being a killjoy. We're celebrating!" Kagome diverted he attention to the other three. "I heard quite a bit of laughing over here. What was so funny?"

 

"Just another one of our wonderful 'what if' questions." Shippou informed her.

 

 

The waitress smiled. "Oh! Fun! Let's hear it then."

 

Miroku chuckled at her antics. “Alright Kagome, if you were stuck on a deserted island, who would you want to be stuck there with you?" He joggled his eyebrows, trying to convey his not-so-innocent interpretation of the question.

 

A slow, mischievous smile graced her glossed lips after a moment of thought. She giggled, "Well, that's easy."

 

The others raised their eyebrows. "It is?" It was well known that Kagome didn't really have a love life because she was constantly working. Three out of four pairs of eyes were trained on the junior girl, interested who this chaste girl would choose.

 

She giggled again. "Inuyasha."

 

Said hanyou choked on the mouthful of beer he had just taken from his glass and began spluttering at her answer. A 'what the fuck?', 'you can't be serious', and simple uncontrolled laughter came from Kouga, Shippou and Miroku respectively.

 

"Because," she began again when Miroku had gotten a semblance of control back, "he would be my inspiration to get off the island as soon as humanly possible." She couldn't contain her grin at the looks on their faces.

 

"See?" Shippou cut in, "Didn't I tell you? That's why I picked her."

 

 

"You picked me?" she asked.

 

"Because you would be most helpful in getting off the island." Kouga elaborated between laughing fits.

 

Kagome laughed too. "Aww, Shippou, that's so sweet." She teased, and put her arm around the younger boy.

 

"Kagome! Break's over! Order up!" a voice called over the crowd.

 

Said girl got control of herself and slipped gracefully down from the chair. "I'll be back in a few with your next round, ok?"

 

As they watched her maneuver back to the bar, Miroku took another look at his friends and cracked up laughing again. Her answer was just too priceless. InuYasha glared and whacked him on the back of his head. "Shut up, will you?" he grouched, "She's just sore 'cuz she ain't had any good sex in a hell of a long time."

 

A hush fell over the table. Kouga and Shippou exchanged glances and Miroku put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Trust me Yash. Never say that to her face." he said solemnly.

A/N: Yeah, ok, so I kind of left you hanging on that last part, but if
I ever write that other scene, where that actually are stuck on a
deserted island together, it will make sense. There, in a fever
induced haze, she recounts how she had sex with her ex-boyfriend,
Bankotsu, in high school only to be dumped the next day and learned
he'd been cheating since day one. I hope I do write that other scene,
but I probably won't. Hope you got at least a little enjoyment out of
this. Ja, ne!
