InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A Lot About Love ❯ Where it all begins ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter four

Where it all begins

 

“Okay, this'll be your room.” Souta opened the white door and the boys entered a small room, but from Inuyasha's experiences, it was a pretty big room.

 

“Thanks.” Inuyasha smiled, dropping his bag down on the floor at the foot of the bed.

 

“No prob, we'll give you a call when supper's ready.” Souta smiled and ran downstairs.

 

Inuyasha sighed and laid down on the single sized bed, the bed was too small on account of his legs were falling off the end, but he didn't care, it was the thought that counted.

 

He thought of taking stroll around the house before supper, it would give him a good chance to get to know the house. In addition, to have a slight peak at the girl that had his attention.

 

Her name was Kagome, that's what her brother called her anyway. She seemed nice, but he hadn't even said two words to her.

 

Inuyasha sat up, stretching his legs; he started for the stairs.

 

“And just where do you think you're going?” Inuyasha stopped in his tracks, shit, he thought.

 

“I…I didn't mean, I was…just…stairs?” Was all he could get out. Then he heard a feminine giggle. Turning around he saw the girl from before, Souta's sister, giggling.

 

“Oh, you're too easy.” She laughed. “Sorry about that, I'm Kagome, if you don't already know.”

 

She held her hand out, prepared to shake his and get a minor introduction. He smiled and shook it.

 

”Inuyasha.” She simply nodded.

 

“Nice to meet you Inuyasha, has Souta given you the tour of the mansion yet?” Kagome giggled, he smiled, her laugh was almost…angelic.

 

“Yeah, a bit.” Inuyasha smirked. “But I believe you could give me an even better tour if you're up to it?” He placed his hands on his hips.

 

She giggled.

 

“Oh boy, a cocky one, aren't you?” Kagome smirked. “Okay, let's begin that so-called excellent tour you talk about so much.” She started walking down the stairs. Inuyasha was about to follow when he got a good look at her behind. Moving with each step, so tempting to touch. “Are you coming?”

 

He noticed Kagome had stopped walking and was turned to him, waiting impatiently. Inuyasha cleared his throat and jogged up to her.

 

`I've really gotta stop hanging around Miroku.' Inuyasha thought as he followed the girl that now had his undivided attention.

“And here's the bathroom, a highly used facility in this establishment.” Kagome concluded with a small smile and swing of her hips.

 

Inuyasha nodded and smiled back, he was more interested in getting to know the lovely tour guide then the house itself.

 

“And on we go to the kitchen, one of my personal favorites in this house.” Kagome giggled.

 

“What's for dinner?” Damn, he thought, how rude can you be, he assaulted himself with rude remarks.

 

“I think spaghetti, but you're going to have to ask the cook.” Inuyasha sighed in relief, he was still on her good side, he thought.

 

“Who's the cook?” Inuyasha asked, confused.

 

“Souta.”

 

“He can cook?”

 

“Yeah, he's in grade ten already; I think he can make something as simple as spaghetti.” Kagome challenged.

 

“Feh.” He sighed in relief when he heard the soft tune to her laughter.

 

“So, what brings you to our humble abode?” Kagome asked as they sat on the couch for a quick pit stop.

 

“Oh, just trying to get more out in the world.”

 

“Hmm, and Souta tells me you come all the way from Tokyo?” Kagome asked, a little skeptical.

 

“Yup.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Like I said, I wanted to get out.”

 

“Yeah, but you're like…half way around the world from your family, friends…”

 

“I wanted to get out.” Inuyasha grumbled.

 

“Does that mean you don't care about your family or something to that extent?” Kagome continued.

 

“Just drop it, already.”

 

“No, I want to know what made you want to come to California.” Kagome huffed.

 

“And I said I didn't want to tell you.”

 

“Supper's on.” They were both interrupted when they heard Souta's singsong voice call from the other room.

 

“Jerk.” Kagome mumbled.

 

“Bitch.” Inuyasha grumbled.

 

They both stood and headed for the kitchen, glaring at each other on their way.

 

~*~

 

Kagome sat in her bed, reading a book that she had to drag herself to read.

 

Ever since Inuyasha entered their home, she couldn't concentrate enough to complete anything, not even finishing the book she had started the other night.

 

A knock at the door pulled her from her fight with the book, calling them in, she placed her novel, half-finished, on the side table of her double bed.

 

“Kagome?” Souta walked in, closing the door, quietly behind him as he sauntered over to her bed and sat down.

 

“Yeah, what's wrong?” Kagome asked.

 

“I really hope you don't mind him staying here.” Kagome sighed.

 

“For the last time, I don't mind.”

 

“Really?” Souta repeated.

 

“Really.”

 

“Then why have you two been fighting since I brought him home?” He got her there, why were they fighting?

 

He seemed like a nice person, but everytime she went to say something he ended up taking it the wrong way, and vice-versa.

 

Especially earlier that night when she was helping him get comfortable and ready for bed,

 

“Hey, Inuyasha?” He glanced up from his bag.

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Here's a pair of pajamas if you don't have any.” Kagome handed him some plaid pants. “I couldn't find a bigger size.”

 

“What are you saying, you think I'm fat or something?”

 

“No, I just said that I couldn't find a size from Souta's that would fit you, you are quite larger then him.” Kagome glared.

 

“I don't need them.” He growled.

 

“I'm trying to help, now just take them, and hey, you don't even have to thank me either.” Kagome said sarcastically.

 

“I said, I don't need them!” Inuyasha tried pushing the girl out of the room.

 

“Take them for god's sake.” Kagome yelled.

 

If it wasn't for Souta coming in and getting everything straightened out, Kagome would have had Inuyasha's head on a mantle above her bed that night.

 

However, she found out later that Inuyasha had his own pair of pajamas, though she didn't know why he didn't just tell her instead of making it seem like he didn't want her help.

 

“I don't know Souta, I'm sorry if it bothers you.” Kagome sighed.

 

“Its okay, from what I've heard, he's kinda brainless when it comes to girls.”

 

“What do you mean?” Kagome questioned.

 

“I mean, he's not very good at winning over the ladies.” Kagome didn't like how he said that.

 

“Are you saying that you think I…like him?” Kagome gawked.

 

“Well, what other explanation is there?” Souta shrugged. “You haven't been around too many guys lately anyway.”

 

“Get out!” Kagome grabbed a pillow, threatening her kid brother out the door. “Get out, get out, GET OUT!” Souta got up and ran, laughing at his sister on the way.

 

She sighed and lay back down on her bed, placing her pillow back under her head.

 

How could she like that big oaf of a man, she thought, he's rude, arrogant, cocky, and rich from what I hear.

 

Kagome sighed again.

 

`I think it's time for bed.' Kagome thought to herself as she set her alarm clock, shut her light off, and tucked herself into bed.
