Just for you Hillary for being the first to review so quickly. Thanks!

Chapter 2

Kagome flopped down on her bed and picked up the phone in a great mood. She set the piece of paper next to her as she dialed. She waited with baited breath hoping the guy would help her. Finally after several rings the phone was picked up. “Hello?” Came a sultry deep male voice that made her want to melt. She fell back on the bed in amazement hoping the rest of him matched the voice. “Hello?” He said again and she stifled a giggle.

“Oh yes hello.” She started feeling the blush rush over her cheeks. “My name is Kagome and a friend of a friend gave me your number so I could call and see if you could help me with a little problem.” Kagome stammered out nervously.

“I see.” His voice sounded amused. “And just what kind of problem do you have?” His voice replied suggestively. Kagome blinked a couple of times and it dawned on her that she didn’t exactly explain what it was she wanted.

“Oh well my computer...” She giggled but was cut off.

“Can you hold a moment you want Inuyasha.” He said dryly and her heart sank. ‘Damn it. I was looking forward to seeing who had that voice.’ She thought as she listened to said voice call out for said person.

“What the fuck do you want dick head?” Was the reply. She held the phone away from her ear and looked at it as if it was an alien.

“Phone shit for brains.” She heard the voice of her dreams growl back in reply. Her heart fell again as her dreams went flying out the window. ‘Ass holes, both of them.’ She frowned dejectedly. She sat waiting patiently for what seemed like forever but finally the phone was picked up.

“This better be good damn it. I was in the shower.” the male voice answer harshly. She bit her lip thinking maybe she could do with out his help but then she remembered the professors’s words in her mind. “Hey is anyone there!” He snapped angrily.

“Oh yes sorry.” She said startled.

“Well?” He asked harshly.

“I...um...well you see...” She stammered not wanting to talk to him at all but knew she had to.

“Spit it out would ya. I do have a life outside this phone conversation.” He said rudely. She blinked and gritted her teeth.

“Now listen here. I was only calling because I needed some help with....” She started hotly.

“Yeah, yeah they all need help sweetheart. But I don’t buy into that shit. So you can go somewhere else for money.” He said impatiently. She almost threw the phone across the room.

“Look I wasn’t calling because I need money. I have plenty! All I need is you....” Kagome snapped angrily.

“Oh well that is another matter all together. But I charge quite a bit. I’ll tell you what. If you’re cute enough I’ll do ya for free.” He sounded almost amused. Her face flamed at the implication.

“I was calling about my computer you dolt!” She snarled. He started to laugh.

“I don’t usually do it with equipment. You sound kinky.” He chuckled harder at her screech.

“You ass! Miroku gave me your number because my computer is broke and I have a term paper due in 7 days.” She hissed trying hard to control her anger.

“Oh well since Miroku gave it to you then the answer is no.” He replied simply.

“Wha...wha..a...what do you mean by that? Aren’t you guys friends?” She stammered out confused.

“Yeah but he owes me money so if you ain’t the bitch he hired to get me off then I ain’t got nothing for you. Later babe, I have places to be and things to do.” He said jovially and hung up. Kagome stared at the phone in her hand for several minutes with her mouth hanging open before it finally hit her that he hung up on her and accused her of being a prostitute. She screeched at the top of her lungs. Frantic fingers re-dialed the number ready to give him a piece of her mind. She set her jaw ready to scream at him when the phone was picked up.

“Hello?” Came the sultry deep voice from the first time and all her resolve melted.

“Oh hey it’s you.” She replied dreamily.

“Yes it’s me now what can I do for you my siren.” He said softly.

“Oh well that jerk hung up on me and I really need his help. You see my computer crashed and had all my work on it for my paper on Feudal Japan.” She said quickly.

“Professor Takamura right?” He asked.

“Yeah he is so mean and only gave me until 1:00 on Monday afternoon to have it done but all my notes and everything is on that hard drive. Miroku suggested asking Inuyasha to help me but he won’t even talk to me and I think he called me a prostitute or something like that.” She said the last absentmindedly as she tried to go over the conversation in her head.

“Mmm....” He mused, “not that I really care but what do you expect from me?” He asked uncaringly. She held the phone back and frowned at it. ‘I was right, another ass hole.’ She placed it back to her ear and smiled more to herself then to him. “Well I was wondering if you could tell me where you live. That way I could talk to him face to face and maybe he would change his mind.” She said hopefully.

“I usually don’t give out my address to strange but beautiful voices over the phone. What would I get from this?” He asked amused at her gasp.

“Oh well would it make him mad that I’m going to pester the hell out of him until he helps me?” She asked thinking about how easily he became aggravate the first time they talked.

“Probably.” The dream voice answered.

“Well then you get to see him suffer. Since I have experienced first hand his not so gentle personality I can understand what a strain you must be under having to live with him. Isn’t that worth anything?” She said with ideas already running threw her mind.

“Yes that might be amusing now that you mention it.” He chuckled and she fell back on her bed holding her heart. “But I think I would like to see if the face matches the angelic voice more.”

“Be still my fluttering heart.” She murmured dramatically. He chuckled again melting any of the bad thoughts she had of him previously.

“In that case it’s 204 D, Rumiko Complex on the south side of the campus. I’ll see you soon my siren.” He replied then hung up. Kagome pressed the off button and sighed. She wasn’t sure if she was going to see the jerk or had just made a date with his room mate. She giggled and jumped up. Well as long as his face matched his voice she could care less. With that she ran out her door to get in her car.

After a quick drive across the campus grounds she parked her mustang convertible in front of the entry. She could already hear the cat calls coming from boys that were setting on their balconies. “Hey baby come to see me?” One yelled making others laugh. ‘Great, he just had to live at an all boys dorm.’ She fumed as she made her way to the elevator. “Damn when do those legs stop honey. I’d like to see.” One guy said as she walked down the hall of the second floor. She gritted her teeth and kept walking. If she stopped now it was only asking for more insults. Finally she came to 204 D. Hesitantly she raised her hand to knock when she heard the voice she knew was Inuyasha’s come from with in.

“And don’t tell that bitch Kanna where to find me got it?” He grumbled. ‘Who’s Kanna?’ Her mind instinctively went into over drive but she shook the thoughts off and knocked. The door opened and she was dumbfounded.

“Hello.” His deep voice washed over her senses like a soothing rush of cool water. She almost sighed openly. “My angelic siren I presume.” He said calmly as his golden eyes traveled down her body and back up. She returned the favor taking in his long white silky hair, sun kissed eyes, flawless skin, lean muscular body on top of long lean legs. She wondered how he could call her angelic when it was he who was so beautiful angles must swoon at his feet. “Disappointed?” He smiled sideways and she grinned back.

“Not at all. You?” She mused when he shook his head and they laughed together. “Kagome.” She held out her hand to shake but he took it and kissed her knuckles letting his lips linger a little longer then necessary.

“Mmm...you taste of strawberries and cream.” His warm breath whispered against her skin. “Sesshomaru.” He offered as he let her fingers slip from his. She pulled her hand back with a blush when he released it.

“So tell me what is a hunk of the male species doing living with a phone abusive jerk?” She smiled even more when he chuckled. He held out his hand offering for her to come in. She entered and found that it was a well kept apartment for it being a guys dorm. He walked her over to the couch and offered for her to sit.

“It was forced upon me against my will.” He replied wryly. “Want something to drink while less then attractive finishes abusing the mirror in the bathroom?” She laughed and nodded.

“Who the hell is out there?” Came a growl from down the hall. “Better not be you Kanna. I said I ain’t interested.” He sneered.

“I’m sorry you have to go through that.” Kagome addressed Sesshomaru amused when he lifted a hand dramatically to his forehead.

“Sess you ass hole you better not have let that bitch in here.” The one she now knew had to be Inuyasha yelled from down the hall.

“Oh but you should feel complete and utter pity for my poor personage. He’s my brother.” He said with a sneer on his lips. She covered her mouth to hold back the laugh that wanted to come out.

“Oh but I feel it believe me.” She snickered and took the offered glass of water.

“So how do you plan on getting him to help you?” He started but footsteps from the hall caught their attention taking them away from their conversation. Both turned to look at the hall. Kagome didn’t know what to think. She was sure it was the same guy she saw earlier when she was with Sango. He had changed his shirt to a tee shirt and he was now wearing huge baggy jeans that didn’t fit him right plus he still had the ugly black glasses and loafers.

“I told you Kanna, I don’t go for Skanks...” He stopped short and stared wide eyed at Kagome. “Oh hey Kikyo what are you doing here?” He asked swallowing nervously. Kagome raised an eyebrow at him then set her glass down.

“I think you have me confused with someone else. My name is Kagome. Higurashi, Kagome to be exact.” She said softly as she stood and offered him her hand to shake. “I called you earlier about my computer but you...” She started politely but the nervous look lifted from his face as he squinted at her. He scowled and pursed his lips.

“What are you some kind of stalker?” He fumed as he stormed over to the coat rack and grabbed his jacket. Kagome stomped after him.

“You could be so lucky jerk. Look I’m not asking you to help me for free. I’ll pay for your time.” She crossed her arms over her plump chest and rested her weight on one foot as she glared at him. He stopped with his hand on the door knob as he looked her up and down. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly then his eyes settled on her stormy grey ones.

“What you offering?” He let his eyes travel up and down her body again before meeting her eyes with a sultry look. “I can think of a few things.” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her. She narrowed her eyes at him and frowned deeply.

“Oh for Pete’s sake. Are all nerds sex crazed perverts?” She turned pleading eyes to Sesshomaru but he held up his hands and smiled amused.

“It was your idea to come over here.” He replied before walking into the kitchen with their glasses. She gritted her teeth and turned back to Inuyasha.

“Hey I’m not a nerd.” Inuyasha snorted indignantly.

“Oh but you are.” Kagome grimaced in disgust as she looked him up and down.

“What?” He asked and pushed his glasses back up his nose when they slid down while he was looking to see what she was looking at. Kagome shook her head.

“Look, I said I’ll pay you for your time.” She started and held up her hand when he began to say something knowing that he was going off on the perverted thoughts again. “Money. With money. You know what that is don’t you. The green stuff.” She waved her hand in front of his face. He scowled at her and leaned back.

“Yeah I know what it is. I don’t need it. Find someone else.” He snorted and turned back to the door. She grabbed the wrist of the hand that was on the knob and pulled him back around to face her.

“Come on, please.” She pleaded. “I only have 7 damn days to get that report off there before...”

“I don’t care.” He yanked his hand from hers and turned back to the door.

“Inuyasha? Is that you? Who is that woman?” A eerie female voice came from the other side of the door. Inuyasha stiffened where he stood.

“Shit.” He cursed under his breath. He turned and looked at her pleadingly. She blinked for a second then smiled.

“Oh Yashie baby that is mmm....so good.” She gasped and moaned.

“What the hell is going on in there?” The female voice screamed and began pounding on the door.

“What the hell are you thinking?” Inuyasha whispered hoarsely. Kagome placed her finger to his lips and grabbed his wrist pulling him away from the door.

“Oh...oh...do it again.... mmmm yes. Just like that.” She said louder. The pounding became more frantic. Sesshomaru stood in the kitchen with his hand over his mouth. His golden eyes followed them as Kagome pulled Inuyasha across the living room toward the balcony. She looked at him and flashed a five finger spread at him twice signaling him to give them at least ten minutes. He nodded still holding in his laughter. She looked over the rail and waved at the guys on the floor down from them. “Hey guys, help us out a minute ok?” She batted her eyes and smiled sweetly. They both jumped up smiling back.

“Yeah sure what you need?” One asked as they took a position right under her.

“Catch.” She said brightly and pushed Inuyasha up to the rail. “Climb over. I’m right behind you.” She urged him on.

“But...but...” He stammered. Unfortunately she already had tossed his jacket over and had him half way over.

“Oh come on live a little, Yashie.” She grinned widely as she peeled his fingers from the rail.

“Inuyasha! You better not have a woman in there or I’ll kill you!” Came the scream from the other side of the door as the pounding got louder.

“Or I could just go let her in.” Kagome motioned over her shoulder toward the door. Inuyasha looked down and grimaced.

“Get out of the way guys.” He fumed and let himself slip down the rails so he could drop to the balcony under his. Once he was clear Kagome wasted no time in dropping her small purse down to the waiting guys and slung her legs over the side.

“You know I always liked this view.” One of the guys remarked. Kagome narrowed her eyes at him as she lowered herself down the bars.

“Yeah well take a picture it’ll last longer perv.” She bit back at him. They both reached up grabbing her thighs and bottom so they could gently bring her down. “Thanks guys.” She pecked each of them on the cheek before grabbing Inuyasha’s wrist and dragging him at a trot to their front door. The two quickly rushed down to the elevator and out the front of the building. “Where’s your ride?” Kagome asked out of breath. Inuyasha smiled and pointed toward a moped. Kagome’s face fell. “You have to be kidding right?” She looked at him in disbelief.

“Ain’t she a beaut? I got her when I fist started college and I get 67 miles to the gallon.” He said proudly. Kagome groaned.

“We’re taking mine.” She grabbed his wrist again dragging him out to her car. They stopped in front of her mustang so she could dig for her keys.

“This is your car?” Inuyasha asked amazed.

“Yeah. Got it for graduation.” She said as she dug.

“INUYASHA!” Came a shrill scream from above. They both looked up to see a white haired girl leaning over their balcony waving madly at him. “INUYASHA I’LL BE RIGHT DOWN.” She yelled.

“Ah...ha...found them.” Kagome held up her keys.

“Great let’s go.” Inuyasha picked her up bridal style making her ‘eep’ and carried her around to the passenger side of the car.

“INUYASHA WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THAT GIRL?” His stalker yelled. He dashed around Kagome’s car and jumped in with out opening the doors. She tossed him the keys reluctantly but didn’t want to waste any time arguing with him.

“You do know how to drive stick right?” She asked hesitantly when he cranked the motor over making it rev a couple of times. He turned and looked at her with a wide grin.

“Well I guess we will find out won’t we.” He laughed as he peeled out of the parking lot leaving a very angry Kanna in the smoke from the tires.
