Sota couldn't breath. The wind was knocked out of him when a man hurried and picked him out of the road before the car could hit him.

 

“What are you, stupid?” the man asked.

 

“No I'm Sota Higurashi asshole!”

 

“Sota what did I tell you about cussin'?” Kagome asked.

 

“Sorry sis,” Sota apologized.

 

“What were you thinking runnin' out there like that?”

 

“Probably wasn't thinkin' at all,” the man who saved him said.

 

“What is your name?” Sota asked.

 

“Inuyasha.”

 

“Thank you Inuyasha,” Kagome said sticking her hand out to be shaken. He didn't take it so she let it fall. She smiled sweetly. “My name is Kagome Higurashi. I'm Sota's sister. Thank you so much for saving him.”

 

“Yeah I know you are his sister. You're welcome,” he said kind of on the rude side.

 

“Would you like me to by you dinner for saving him?” Kagome asked politely.

 

“Keh.”

 

“Is that a `yes'?”

 

“That's a `keh' not a `yes' not a `no' not a `maybe'.”

 

Kagome lost some of her perkiness, but not all of it. “So then it isn't an answer?”

 

Inuyasha looked down at Sota who was still lying on the ground. “Is she always this perky?”

 

“She lost some of it… she is usually more perky,” Sota answered.

 

“How can you live with that? A perky teen girl…”

 

“Excuse me, I'm twenty. I'm not a teen.”

 

“Close enough.”

 

“How old are you, Inuyasha?” Kagome asked.

 

“Twenty-one,” he answered proudly.

 

Kagome stared at him flatly. “Yeah big difference,” she mumbled.

 

“But I can legally drink, you can't,” Inuyasha pointed out.

 

“And I care why?”

 

“You don't drink?”

 

“No, why would I? It makes the most sensible people ignorant, selfish assholes.”

 

“She tells me I can't cuss but she can! That isn't fair!” Sota argued.

 

“You're only fourteen,” Inuyasha and Kagome said in unison.

 

“HEY! That isn't fair! You can't use my age against me! Besides you asked if she drank and she isn't twenty-one,” Sota said defiantly.

 

“That is deferent…” Kagome said.

 

“No it isn't,” Sota mumbled.

 

Kagome turned back to Inuyasha. “Dinner? It is the least I can do for you after you saved my brother.”

 

“He probably would have lived through it.”

 

“Yeah, probably, but I wouldn't have. `Hey Mom, Sota got ran over by a car in New York,' wouldn't go over to well when I would go to call her.”

 

Inuyasha laughed. “I would have to see her face when you told her that one!”

 

Kagome looked at him darkly. “You don't want to see my mom when she is pissed.” Then she mumbled, “She would probably kill all three of us,” but no one heard her.

 

Sota was already standing. Miroku looked down at Kagome, who was still on her knees. “Uh Kagome,” he interrupted bringing her attention to him.

 

“Oh Mr. Tashi I forgot you were there.”

 

“Sango Yuko is here,” he said, pointing to a young girl that couldn't but much older than Kagome herself. “And call me Miroku. If we will be working together for two months we can be on a first-name basis.”

 

“Sango!” Kagome yelled. “Over here!”

 

Sango looked at Kagome and Miroku. She knew Miroku, but not Kagome. “Hi Miroku! Hi… uh…” Sango looked to make sure no cars were coming, and then crossed the street quickly.

 

“Kagome Higurashi,” Kagome filled. “Nice to meet you.”

 

Sango and Kagome shook hands. “Sango Yuko. I see you know Miroku,” Sango pointed out. “Be careful around him…”

 

Kagome smiled, not quite knowing what she meant. “What?”

 

Sango turned Kagome away from the rest of the group. “He is a lecher.”

 

“Oh no, he seemed quite nice to me…” Kagome said.

 

“Trust me! You really don't know him yet… just wait till he tries to grope you.”

 

“Oh… well thanks for warning me.”

 

Kagome and Sango turned back to the three boys. They had curious looks on their faces, but didn't ask any questions. “Inuyasha?”

 

“What?” he snapped, not really meaning to.

 

“Dinner?”

 

“When?”

 

“Tonight?”

 

“OK. I'll pick you up at 8:00,” Inuyasha said.

 

“'K then.” She got a piece of paper out of her purse, along with a pen. She wrote down her temporary address and handed it to him. “It's on me.”

 

Inuyasha looked at her like she was a bit out of her head. “No… I don't know who your last date was, but girls don't pay for dinner.”

 

“Inuyasha, I didn't say it was a date. I said it was a thank you.”

 

Inuyasha turned away. “Yeah I know!” he defended.

 

“Then why did you say it was a date?” she asked, knowing she was making him embarrassed. Kagome really liked making him blush, but she didn't know why.

 

“Because we are going out, and that is a date, wench.”

 

“Yeah can't wait,” she mumbled sarcastically.

 

“Whacha mean by that?”

 

“Oh nothing,” she said sarcastically. “I didn't mean anything by that.”

 

He looked at her like she lost her mind completely. “You are weird…”

 

“Yeah me weird? Look at you! I bet my last dollar you have no clue what I'm saying!” Kagome said. (A/N: When there are quotations (“”) around italics (Abc) then someone is speaking in Japanese.)

 

Sota laughed really loud. “What did you just say?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Why should I tell you? I'm weird! I don't tell people when I'm speaking another language! They have to figure it out by themselves!”

 

Sota laughed again. “Really! What are you saying?”

 

“She said—” Sota started, but Kagome hushed him.

 

“Don't tell him, Sota. He can figure it out by himself,” Kagome said.

 

She was probably cussin' me out in another language! Inuyasha thought.

 

“Don't worry Inuyasha, she wasn't cussin' you,” Sota said when he looked at Inuyasha, who seemed to be in a mental argument.

 

“How would you know?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“We speak the same language,” Sota and Kagome said in unison.

 

“OK then, Sota you say something she said in your `language',” Inuyasha instructed.

 

“ `Why should I tell you? I'm weird! I don't tell people when I'm speaking another language!',” Sota quoted.

 

“Hey! You were just mumbling what she did!” Inuyasha protested. “You both say `New York' in your language!”

 

“New York,” they said in unison.

 

“OK so maybe it is a real language…”

 

“It's called `Japanese' you twit.”

 

“Oh…” Inuyasha felt really stupid.

 

“Let's go! I'm starved!” Miroku said.

 

“Bye Inuyasha!” Kagome said.

OK there is chapter four! I'm sorry it was so boring! But I promise that the “bad people” will come soon! Please let your flames warm you! I don't like them. I think I might have forgot to mention that Inuyasha is human in this story, and there will not be demons (except for in Gramps' dreams). There will, however, be twists and turns. (BTW I don't know if Yuko is a real last name at all! I couldn't think of anything and then my computer said that Yuko is a real something, because it said I spelled it write… what ever it is. I don't know what it really is so in my little warped imagination it is Sango's last name.) R&R XOXO Tormented Hanyou
