Dreams To Reality

Chapter 3

Moving In

The plane landed at about noon and Kagome went and got her luggage. She then proceeded to hail herself a cab to take her to the apartment complex that she would be staying in during her time at school in the States. The apartments were owned by the school and offered to students that didn't really want to live in the dorms. They had sent her the key ahead of time so that she would be able to get in and she had sent some of her stuff ahead of time and that would be placed in the apartment.

The other advantage to living in the apartment complex was that she would be able to move in before the school year started. She liked this idea so that she could get acquainted with the area before she had to worry about classes. She couldn't wait to meet the person she would be sharing the apartment with.

She felt the cab come to a halt and she looked out the window and found that they had arrived. She gave him his fare and started up the steps to her place.

"Hmm, number 34. Why did I have to get one of the higher floors? Oh well at least I will get my exercise each day." She thought with a smile. She reached her door and was about to put the key in to open it, when the door opened in front of her.

"Oh I am sorry I didn't know anyone would be right that. Hope that I didn't scare you. Are you living here too? Well you must be if you are standing there staring at me with the key in your hand. Oh great I am rambling on again. My name is Sango, what's yours?" The girl extended her hand to Kagome.

Kagome shook her hand and replied, "Kagome. It is nice to meet you. So we are going to be living together right? Well if you could let me by I really need to set this stuff down it is getting really heavy and I had to haul it up all those stairs."

"Yeah sure sorry bout that." Sango moved so that Kagome could get into the place. "I already took the room at the end of the hallway, yours is the second door on the left. The first door is the bathroom." Sango called as Kagome started down the hallway.

Kagome heard the outside door close as she entered her room. She wondered if Sango had left until she heard her talking again. "I was just about to head out and get something to eat. If you want I can wait a few minutes till you are ready and we can go together. It is better to be lost in a new place with someone then alone." She said with a bit of a laugh at the end.

"Sure that would be great. Give me about 10 minutes." She set her bags in her room and checked that the things that she had sent had indeed made it to the place. Once she found that everything was in order, she joined Sango and the two girls headed out to find something to eat.

Small Diner Near Apartments

"So where are you from?" Sango inquired while munching on some of the fries that she had ordered.

"Japan, right outside of Tokyo. I lived in a shrine there with my mother, brother and grandfather. What about you?" Kagome asked.

"I'm from Japan as well. I live my father and brother. My family is actually looking to move to the states soon, so I might not be home sick for too long." Was Sango's reply.

Since Kagome and Sango were so immersed in talking to each other about where they are from and there families and what they liked and things of that nature, they never noticed a dark haired boy at the corner table that was watching them with interest. `Well maybe I should go greet the lovely ladies' he thought to himself with a smile.

He got up and slowly walked over to the girls. "Hello fair ladies. I was sitting over there and I couldn't help but notice how lovely the two of you are. May I join you?" he questioned, giving them his most charming smile.

Kagome gave Sango a glance and when she just shrugged Kagome replied, "Sure why not. What is your name anyway?"

"Oh pardon my rudeness," he said while taking a seat next to Sango "My name is Miroku. And what names do you beauties go by?" he inquired once again turning on the charm.

Sango could only stare at him thinking `Where does he get those lines? Does he actually think that they work?' While she was thinking, Kagome answered for them. "This is Sango and I am Kagome. We are going to be going to Therwood Academy. What about you?"

"What a stroke of luck! I am going to be attending school there as well. Actually my roommate and me are going to be throwing a party this Friday in honor of our last weekend free from school. Would you ladies like to attend? Since we went to the school last year, we know some of the people that live around here that go to the school and it will be a chance for you to meet some new people."

"That sounds great," said Kagome. "You can definitely count me in. What about you Sango? Do you want to go?"

"Sure I don't think that I have anything else schedule." She replied.

"Well then ladies I will leave you for now. Oh yes her is the address. The party will start around 9 ish." He got up and took Sango's hand. "I will especially be looking forward to seeing you again," he said as he brought her hand up to give it a small kiss. With that he left, leaving Sango staring at her hand.

"I think that he likes you"

"No I think that he likes anything that is female. I have met guys like him before."

"Well if he was only after anything female, why didn't I get a kiss?"

"…" Sango had no reply to that. `Well whatever he wants, I guess I will find out on Friday.'

"So you ready to go? I think that I need to get some unpacking done and then some sleep. It was a long plane ride and I think that I am going to try and get out early tomorrow to go food shopping and what not." Kagome said, trying to change the subject so that her new friend wouldn't think about it too much. `Maybe I am just reading into things too much'

"Yeah sure. Hey tomorrow when you get done getting food, wake me up and we can explore town some more." Sango replied.

"That might not be until one or so, wont you be up by then?"

"Nope, when I have time to sleep, I really sleep." She replied with a smile on her face.

The girls returned to their apartment to get some unpacking done. They talked some more about what they used to do back home and the people that they knew. Around 9 they decided that they were both dead tired and headed to bed. Kagome couldn't wait till Friday. She was looking forward to the party because she wanted to meet more people. Things were definitely going good for her. And with that thought, she drifted off to sleep.
