Chapter six, Spending a day together.

Kagome tried hard not to look at her roommate who sat next to her eating his cereal, the cheek
kiss still played fresh in her head. She needed some kind of distraction, so she took another sip
from her strawberry flavored tea and sighed low. However, her thoughts padded right back to her
roommate when she heard his spoon hit the bowl in his hand. InuYasha seemed to have a
tradition with himself every morning. He’d wake up, walk into the kitchen, pore himself some
Captain Crunch and then sink into the couch in the livingroom watching TV.

Kagome, herself, did not have such childish rituals. In fact, she could not even remember if she’d
had one once. Through her school years, Kagome had thought of nothing but making perfect
grades.

But what she wouldn’t do to have something steady in her life. Even if it just was a bowl of
cereal or whatnot every morning. A few minutes of just being herself, eating or drinking
something that the planet had to offer.

‘Hm,’ she thought, smiling solemnly. ‘That wouldn’t be bad at all.’

She knew she needed some kind of change in her life, she was after all eighteen and had never
really experienced it.

Kagome had never dated, french-kissed, had sex or gotten really drunk. No, she had been the
perfect daughter, citizen, student and girl. Was that what she wanted? To be perfect? She shook
her head and stifled a groan. Was that why she was so attracted to InuYasha, perhaps? He was
everything she wasn’t - he was street smart, rough, deep and sexy. But one thing she knew the
two of them had in common; they were, both, stubborn as hell. Kagome slapped her self over the
head when she cussed inwardly, she never cussed. That was until the day she had met InuYasha -
and now it was something that happened a lot. A bad habit to say the least.

The hanyou on the other side of the couch darted her a surprised look when she hit herself.
‘What the hell is wrong with her?’ He wondered silently. The TV was on, but InuYasha cared
little to what was showing. His attention was elsewhere, with Kagome to be exact. She was
wearing really adorable soft-pink jogging pants and a white top. Her hair was up in a messy bun,
and he found himself wondering if she knew how pretty she was just like that.

The soft kiss she had given him the night before, still made his head spin. He knew his feelings
for her had changed, he’d awoken with a feeling that he now — liked her. So his first guess that
had been; it was pure hunger, need . . . lust, was wrong.

Because, he reasoned, how could he want something he’d never, technically, had? The closest to
sex InuYasha had ever gotten was when Kikyou had given him a hand job.

“I want to wait.” She had told him.

‘What a fucking joke,’ InuYasha snorted inwardly. He didn’t want to know how long she’d slept
around on him, but he guessed it had been awhile.

Five years he had sacrificed to her, and a relationship he now wished had never started. Shaking
his head InuYasha tried to clear his thoughts. He was beyond, over and done with that whore.
And he would think of her no more.

Shifting his eyes to the side InuYasha looked at Kagome who was looking down into her mug
with a frown. Curiosity got the best of the hanyou as he couldn’t help but ask her what she was
looking at.

Kagome jerked her head up and looked at him, a small smile played on her lips.

“I was just thinking . . . ” she drawled, “I need a morning tradition, like you.”

InuYasha knitted his brows together, confused. “Huh?”

 

The girl burst out in a soft giggle, “you know, your cereal.” She nodded at his bowl that was still
in his hand.

“Oh, um . . . okay.” InuYasha looked down and suddenly chuckled. “You know,” he said, “I’ve
never seen it as a tradition before.”

“l dol don’t you eat the same thing? Every morning?”

“Yes . . . ”

Silence fell between the two as they sat there in the couch, thinking about cereal.

“I want that.” Kagome suddenly confessed with a soft voice. “Want what? Captain Crunch?”

The girl giggled again, “No silly. I want something . . . ” steady. “Similar.”

InuYasha looked at the mug she was holding and back up again.

“What about your tea?”

“What about it?”

The hanyou shrugged, “Tradition. Drink a cup every morning.” Kagome shook her head, while
making a face. “No. I would grow tired of it.”

She could never drink more then three cups a week without feeling sick to her stomach. It had
always been like that, with almost everything she’d ever consumed. Kagome was the kind of
person who needed, no - craved - variety when it came to food.

“Then drink a different kind of tea every morning.” InuYasha suggested, after awhile.

She thought about this for a few seconds. It wasn’t a bad idea at all. She liked tea. Just not the
same kind, day in a day out. But by trying different flavors she would still have a tradition by just
drinking a mug of hot flavored water.

“Good idea, but — I wonder if there is a tea store nearby . . . I haven’t seen much . . . ”

“Get dressed.” InuYasha suddenly instructed, getting out of the couch.

The girl blinked, “Huh?”

“I said, get some clothes on. We’re going to go out.”

Before Kagome had a chance to even react, the hanyou was down the hallway and disappeared
into the kitchen with his bowl. Seconds later he came back, but paused when he saw her still
sitting.

“Don’t tell me you need help getting dressed, princess.” He taunted, grinning wide when her face
turned bright red.

“No!” She stood up gripping her tea mug so tight her knuckles were turning white. “And what
makes you think I would go out with you?”

InuYasha lifted an eyebrow at her, “We’re not going on a date. I am just trying to be nice.”

Kagome suddenly felt really bad for assuming things, “Um, okay. Sorry . . . I didn’t mean to
sound like . . . ”

“A Bitch?” He offered, smiling from ear to ear.

“I wasn’t going to say that . . . ” She glared at him, from where she stood.

InuYasha shook his head, laughing, “Loosen up Kagome, we’re just going to a mall that I know
of. You’ll like it.”

She wasn’t sure how to reply to that so she just nodded and walked into the kitchen to rinse out
her mug.

When she returned, she noticed that InuYasha had walked into his room to change clotheut
ut
not closed his door. He was standing with his back against her and was actually taking his
sleeping clothes off. Kagome thought she was going to faint when he pulled down his pyjamas
bottoms and showed he was wearing absolutely nothing underneath. And the worst part about
this was that she couldn’t take her eyes of him. Muscles played under the skin of his back, arms
and legs. Every little movement he made causes the breath in her throat to become heavier, as his
long silver hair swayed softly band fnd forth between perfectly shaped shoulder blades - brushing
the end of his spine, connected to his perfect butt. Gods he was gorgeous!

 

A familiar warmth was pooling in her stomach, making her skin heat up. Her brain was
malfunctioning; because all she wanted to do was to walk up and touch him — to feel him
beneath her fingers.

Luckily for Kagome the guy suddenly moved out of her view, walking down to his walk-in-closet. She awoke from the trance, she’d been in, and practically fled into her bedroom.

InuYasha frowned slightly as he picked out some new jeans and a Tee-shirt to match. For a
second there he had thought he smelt an intoxicating scent of exotic fruits, and something . . .
else. Something that had made him oddly hot and . . . aroused?!

‘Not now!’ He wanted to cuss at his male hormones – they always seemed to strike whenever he
didn’t want them to. However, he decided to ignore them and instead of the original tight blue
jeans he’d picked out, he now went looting for the baggy black ones.

~%~

The first ten minutes of the car ride to the mall InuYasha had wanted to take his roommate was
spent in complete silence. Kagome was quiet because she was really trying to forget what she’d
seen. And InuYasha was wondering why he had suggested this in the first place, the girl next to
him didn’t seem interested at all. He cursed his spur of the moment ideas, which seemed to
backfire way tftenften for his own liking. But then again, he reasoned, he really liked being
spontaneous — it made life more appealing.

So as InuYasha tried to think of something funny to say, and Kagome was trying hard not to
blush - neither took notice of the car which had pulled up next to theirs when they stopped at
some blocked railroad tracks.

That was until someone was heard, yelling, “Yo, Dog-breath!” Making the hanyou snap his head
to the side.

‘Just-fucking-perfect. Why the hell did, ad tad to come and ruin everything?’ He thought,
glaring at the owner of the voice. Inside, a car which could easily be equally as pricey as his, or
more correctly with his window down, Kouga was sitting with a wicked smirk on his face.

“What the fuck do you want, Wimp?” InuYasha growled, after mechanically rolling down his
window as well. Needless to say neither needed the glass down to hear the other, but it was done
this way anyway.

Kagome who had been deep in thoughts, now, moved so she could see who he was talking to.
Her eyes widened when she saw no other then Kouga sitting there equally as stunned as she.
‘Oh, boy.’ She moaned inwardly, this was not good.

“So I guess she wasn’t lying.” The wolf said. His grin, fading.

The hanyou frowned in confusion. “Who? Make some fucking sense!”

Kagome started to sweat, she was getting extremely nervous. InuYasha was to busy scowling at
Kouga to notice the change in his roommates scent. So when the demon said what he did next,
he grew even more confused.

“You stole my woman.”

“Huh?” He shook his head, “What the hell, are you talking about?!”

“Don’t play Stupid!” Kouga snapped, “You’re dating the girl next to you, aren’t you?̶p>
p>

 

Kagome leaned heavily against her seat, wishing deeply for the ability to turn invisible. She was
sure the color on her face was gone because she felt completely and utterly mortified.

‘Oh God, Sango. Why did you have to tell him that? Why, why, why?!’ Her life was officially
over when she felt InuYasha’s intense gaze pierce right through her — Gods knew what he mube tbe thinking right now.

The guy in question was stunned. Yes. But he quickly pieced two, and two together - knowing
that the wolf had wanted Kagome since the party. And like hell he’d just hand her over on a
silver plate. How the wimp had been fed the lie that they were dating, he didn’t know but would
ask as soon as they got rid of the pest.

“Keh, not that it’s any of your beezwax but I am.” He replied, looping his arm around the girl
while nuzzling her hair.

She went rigid in his arms, but soon relaxed as he whispered for her to play along. After a few
seconds he let her go, reluctantly. Smelling her this close was making his heart beat faster - and
his blood rushed to his ears. Her scent was driving him mad, so he couldn’t resist when he slid
past her cheek to dart his tongue out and taste what had been unavailable until now. His
tastebud’s got a jolting shock when they connected with her skin, sending his mind into a
complete daze.

Kagome gasped in surprise, her eyes wide. The tingling sensation in her stomach was back with a
vengeance, and her heart threatened to slam through her rib cage. But the moment soon ended
for the demon in the car next to theirs had not forfeited his part of the girl.

“You might have her now, Dog-turd. But she’ll come running when I call. She’s my woman,
after all.” InuYasha quickly snapped out of the blissful-state of mind he’d been in, returning the
scowl.

The last cart of the train passed and lines started to move.

“In your dreams’ asshole! Have fun with your plastic blowup doll tonight.” He replied
sarcastically, before pressing lightly on the gas pedal. The car in front of his had started to roll,
while the one before Kouga was still standing still. He could see the wolf clench his jaw, clearly
pissed off. That last comment had really struck home, much to InuYasha’s twisted happiness.

 

Not many minutes passed before he asked his roommate how the wolf thought they were a
couple. “And don’t tell me it was you who lied, because I know you can’t.”

Kagome sat in silence for a while not wanting to rat on poor Sango. She had only tried to protect
her, after all — and now she needed protection. Something that the raven haired beauty could not
provide. She cursed her incapability to lie.

“Well?” InuYasha was growing impatient, even though he could guess who had set this up.

“Um,” Kagome moaned, shaking her head. “Sango . . . ” she whispered, “She tried to help me
from getting trapped . . . you know . . . ”

“So she told Kouga you and I . . . are dating?” The girl nodded.

InuYasha burst into loud laughter, shaking from its intensity. He had never had this much fun in
years, the look on the wolf’s face was enough to make his week - no, decade! Gods knew he had
wanted to land a blow like that since he met the idiot, and now he had — one that would sting
forever.

Kagome looked at the guy next to her, bewildered. “What’s so funny?” She asked, feeling oddly
hurt that he might be laughing at the idea of them being together. ‘Okay, where did THAT come
from?!’ Did she really think that he and her . . . ? Kagome shook her head, ‘No, we’d kill each
other before . . . k-kissing.’ She grew warm by the mere thought of actually lip locking with the
sexiest guy she had ever seen.

“Nothing, it’s just . . . ” InuYasha inhaled deep, smiling. “The look on that pricks face. Priceless.”
He glanced to the side when he heard Kagome starting to giggle. “I hate to admit this, but I
completely agree.” For once their differences was what kept the conversation going on a much
lighter path. They laughed and joked around the rest of the way to the mall.

~%~

“Try it.” InuYasha said, holding out a weird looking taco to his roommate.

She shook her head, backing away. “No way!”

The hanyou chuckled in amusement. “Aw, come on princess, it won’t bite. At least I don’t think
so.” He grinned at her.

Kagome met his glittering eyes with a scowl, but couldn’t help the tug in the corner of her lip.
InuYasha was trying to get her to eat something she’d never had before. And it didn’t look
appetizing at all, with that green cream stuff on it.

They had been in the mall for around two hours and started to get hungry. So since the hanyou
had been there before, he informed her that there was a unique restaurant upstairs. Like an idiot
she had agreed to go and eat there, not knowing just how special it was.

“Don’t make me force-feed you.” InuYasha threatened, smiling wickedly.

Kagome’s eyes widened, “You wouldn’t . . . ”

“Try me, princess.”

She took a seat at an empty table nearby, snatching the food from him. Closing her eyes, she
brought the dish to her lips. “If I choke and die, I’ll kill you.” She declared, earning a chuckle
from her roommate. Bringing the thing into her mouth, Kagome leaped over the edge – biting off
a large piece.

Much to her surprise it was really good. It tasted like something she had never tasted before and
teased her tongue and gum with strange spices. Cracking her eyes open she saw InuYasha sitting
across from her, smiling. “So?”

“It’s yummy.” She replied truthfully, after swallowing.

“Good, because you don’t want to know what’s in it.”

“InuYasha!”

The hanyou burst into a hearty chuckle, “Just kidding princess.” Kagome relaxed and joined his
light mood. She was having more fun then she had ever had in along time. And suddenly coming
here two months too early wasn’t something she regretted anymore.

After they had finished eating, Kagome and InuYasha decided to see if they could find a tea store
nearby. But as they stood in the escalator a guy behind Kagome took a little too much liberty,
reaching his hand out cupping her butt. The girl let out a scream, twisting around ready to plant a
dent in the pervert behind her. But InuYasha beat her to it as he spun around grabbing the guy by
his jacket.

“What the fuck do you think your doing asshole?” He snarled, scaring the guy out of his wits.

He shook his head, waving his hands back and forth. “I . . . didn’t . . . mean to, s-sorry!”

“Apologize to the lady, not me you Idiot!” Kagome stood as if rooted observing the scene that
played before her. ‘InuYasha is actually protecting me?’

“I’m s-s-sorry.” The guy stuttered, bowing as much as he could to Kagome with a angry half-demon still attached to his clothing. She nodded, taking the apology. “Just don’t do it again.”

As they reached the end of the moving staircase, the guyk ofk off – running as fast as fast as he
could. InuYasha grinned victoriously, damn that was a good boost for his ego. But as he turned
to Kagome, his grin faded. She was standing next to him with her hands on her hips.

“That was unnecessary InuYasha.” She chided. Clearly unamused by his little stunt.

“Keh, he touched your ass and you defend him?” InuYasha asked confused. How come some
men got smacked for it and others got defended? “Miroku did the same thing and you hit the
poor dude so hard he saw stars for days.” He continued, knitting his brows together.

“Well you know like I do your friend had that one coming. He was sweet and charming then
does a complete one eighty and gropes me.” She explained, feeling some anger dim away.
“Besides, I can take care of myself, you didn’t have to scare the guy out of his mind.”

“Is that the thanks I get?” InuYasha fumed, “See if I’ll ever help you again!”

There was a slight silence between the roommates, as Kagome felt bad for defending an obvious
hentai, and InuYasha hadn’t done anything wrong . . . really. She took a step closer to him,
looping her arms around his waist. “I’m sorry,” She whispered, “Thanks for . . . doing what you
did.”

InuYasha was so shocked she was hugging him, he just stood there for a second trying to grasp
what was happening. But his instincts kicked in, embracing the girl back. “Keh . . . ” He choked
out, blushing from head to toe. “Let’s go find that store of yours.”

Kagome nodded against his chest, leaning her head back sticking her tongue out. “Maybe they’ll
have a flavor called Princess.” She joked, giggling. The half-demon chuckled low, nodding.

Stepping out InuYasha’s warm arms, Kagome grabbed his hand in hers. “Let’s go.” Starttarted
walking, dragging a smiling hanyou with her.

~%~

It was not until four p.m. the duo returned home, only to be greeted by a frowning Sango outside
their door. Her confusion grew deeper when she noticed the two hadn’t noticed her yet, to busy
chatting amongst themselves. “Hey.” She said, making the roommates jump in surprise.

“Sango!” Kagome grinned, hugging her friend. “What brings . . . oh, wait!” She had totally
forgotten about the dinner party and that Sango had promised to come over to help her get ready.

“Where have you been? I called you like a million times!” Sango tapped her foot, somewhat
irritated — she had actually been worried for her friends safety when she didn’t answer her
phone.

Kagome’s hands went into her purse, looting for her cell-phone but not finding it. “I must have
left the thing at home, sorry!” She squeaked out, bowing her head. But she looked up when
Sango walked up and hugged her tight.

“I just got scared something had happened, that’s all.”

“But I was with InuYasha the whole time, doesn’t Miroku have his phone number?”

“He does,” Sango replied glancing at the white-haired boy. “He called Inu, but no one
answered.”

The hanyou in question frowned, “But I have it with me.” Sticking his hand inside his pant
pocket, he pulled the deep-red device out. Flipping it open he stared at a blank window. “Out of
batteries.” He explained, turning it for the girls to see.

“Well, the dinner isn’t scheduled until six p.m. so there is enough time to get ready.” Sango said,
walking up to the duos apartment door.

“Hey, wait here a second, what dinner?” InuYasha demanded, “I was never told about any
dinner.”

Kagome shook her head, “I’m sorry. I was supposed to tell you we’re having dinner with
Miroku, Sango and her roommate.” She took out her key and unlocked the door, waiting to be
called stupid or worse. But when no sound from her roommate came, she turned around facing
him.

“It’s okay,” He said — shocking the hell out Sango.

Kagome, however, just smiled. Their relationship was finally on thght ght path. And she for one
would like to keep it that way. The three moved into the hallway, taking their shoes off.

Kagome and InuYasha placed their dry groceries in the kitchen, not bothering unpacking them
but instead walking down into their rooms getting ready. Sango followed her friend and closed
the door behind her. “Okay Woman, spill the beans.”

The smaller girl giggled, “Nothing to tell really. We just had a good day together.” She offered
while undressing for a shower.

“Um, and you expect me to believe that?”

Kagome nodded, sticking her tongue out while smiling. “Believe what you want. It’s the truth.”

Sango flipped to her stomach in the bed she had been sitting in. “So, do you like him?” She
asked curiously, noting the blush that painted her friends’ cheeks.

“Maybe . . . ” Kagome confessed, reaching for her bathrobe.

“Maybe? I think it’s more then just a maybe there.”

“Sango!”

The girl in the bed burst into a fit of laughter. “Kag, go shower and then be prepared to look so
sexy InuYasha will have trouble breathing for the rest of the night.”

Kagome blushed profoundly, before walking into her bathroom – locking the door behind her.

~%~

“So, how do I look?” Kagome asked, inspecting herself in the full-figure mirror in her room. She
had dressed in the red dress and Sango had done her makeup and hair. Much to her happiness,
her friend had kept it light and soft — just adding glittering lip gloss, dark eyeshadow and
mascara. Her hair was up in a messy bun that allowed a few strands fall down the sides of her
face and neck.

“You’re going to give the poor guy a heart attack.” Sango approved, snickering. “Now, let’s go
see if the guy in question is ready to leave.”

Kagome nodded, but felt the butterflies in her stomach flutter wildly. She was nervous to say the
least, as she now knew and couldn’t deny that she really liked her roommate. Just how much,
only time could tell. But for now, enough to get the shakes before allowing him to see her in a
dress like the one she was wearing.

InuYasha had been ready for quiet sometime and been waiting in the livingroom, as he was not
allowed to show up at Miroku’s without the ladies. He had called his friend as soon as he
plopped in a charged spare-battery into his phone.

After hanging up he had taken a shower and braided his wet hair. The conceal-spell allowed him
to have fake ears that appeared human. But he knew if someone touched them, the whole spell
would disappear. But that was a risk he’d been taking for years, even through the time with his
ex. He shuddered, erasing her from his mind, and instead concentrating on finding something to
wear. After several minutes of just looting and tossing things around; he decided on a pair of
blackss-pss-pants, black socks and a dark grey v-necked Tee-shirt. Taking one last look in the
mirror, he approved what he was seeing.

InuYasha was busy playing with his cell when the girls finally walked out of Kagome’s room. He
glanced up, but remained sitting when his golden eyes fell on his roommate. ‘Holy . . . fuck.’

He stared in the vision before him. She was so gorgeous he had trouble keeping his tongue inside
his mouth. It didn’t really help that she was wearing his favorite color, dark-red. His inner demon
roared, wanting nothing more then to ravish the beauty as she stood. ‘It should be fucking
against the law to look like that.’ He cussed inwardly, if Sango hadn’t been there he wasn’t sure
if he could have controlled himself.

“So are you ready to go?” Kagome asked, smiling at his reaction. She appeared confident, but
inside she was a nervous mess. Something in InuYasha’s eyes made her shiver, involuntary. It
was almost like the way a predator would look at its prey before pouncing it.

He nodded, but never for a split second taking his intense orbs off his roommate as he rose out of
the couch - sticking his phone inside his pocket.

The three young adults walked down the hallway, pausing only to put their shoes on. InuYasha
locked the front door and walked last in line down the long staircase. As they reached the bottom,
he shot ahead and opened the door for the girls to pass through first.

“Um, I have to ask you two to wait in Miroku’s apartment for an hour or so.” Sango suddenly
said, breaking the silence that had fell between them.

“What, . . . I mean why?” Kagome sputtered – feeling a bit uncomfortable being left alone with
InuYasha at the moment.

“Well we’re fixing a surprise. And I want you two to stay there, we’ll call wheR’s done so you
can come over.”

“That’s fine.” The hanyou assured, grinning inwardly. He could think of plenty of things to
occupy their “alone time” with.

“O-okay,” Kagome stuttered slightly. Maybe InuYasha would be the perfect gentleman and she
had her priestess powers if things turned ugly. Although, Kagome was sure, the half-demon
would never force himself on anyone. No. What she found herself being most scared of was if he
started sweet-talking her. Would she able to, resist? She would be lying if she said she’d never
thought of the two of them as something else then just friends.

It didn’t take long to reach Miroku’s apartment, and Sango surprised the roommates when she
pulled out her own copy of the key. Sticking the metal in its lock she twisted it open with a click.
Pushing the door open she entered, expecting that the duo behind her to follow - which they did,
a bit shocked.

The black-haired boy came walking down the hallway, embracing his girlfriend. “Hey, you all!”
He greeted them, eyes widening at Kagome’s outfit. “Holy smokes Kag! You look great!”

The shorter girl smiled, blushing. “Thanks Miroku. You don’t look so bad yourself.”

And that he didn’t, for the pervert was wearing nice black Dockers and a matching black button
up-shirt. “Thanks!” He smiled wide, kissing Sango on the cheek. “So did you tell them?” She
nodded, explaining they had agreed to wait in his place.

“Well, I guess we will see you guys in a bit then.” Miroku took his girlfriend’s arm, hooking it
with his. “Don’t do anything we wouldn’t do.”

“That leaves a lot of doors open,” InuYasha grinned, dodging Sango’s arm as she reached out to
swat him.

“Miroku might be a Hentai, but I’m not.” She hissed, amusement glittered in her eyes. The half-demon chuckled not buying that lie but then again it wasn’t his business so he just told them to
call his cell when they wanted them to come over.

“Have fun.” Sango called before closing the door — leaving Kagome and InuYasha to them
selves.

To Be Continued.

Lol I am so mean :p
