Getting Things Together And Getting There
Kagome woke to her alarm clock at noon the next morning. She reached over and turned it off and proceeded to get a shower and something to eat for breakfast. Since they would not have to get ready for the party anytime soon, she decided to let Sango sleep awhile longer and see if the girl would get up in time.
Imagine her surprise when she got dressed after her shower and saw Sango in the kitchen making breakfast. "I thought that you said you didn't get up this early unless you had to?" Kagome asked her friend as she sat down to have a bowl of cereal.
"Well I have a few errands that I have to run before I come back here to get ready for the party. I am borrowing some of your food, but don't worry I will pick up replacements for it on the way back home I promise." Sango told her.
"Oh that's no problem. Help yourself to whatever, there is more then enough for two people here now." was Kagome's response.
There wasn't much conversation during breakfast other then Sango telling Kagome that she had to go over to the school and fix some of her schedule. Then she would head out to the store for some food of her own. They decided that they would meet back at the apartment around 5 to get ready and then head over to where the party was. Neither of them could wait. Sango got up from the table and said goodbye as she headed out the door.
'I cant believe it, my first party in America, I wonder what it will be like.' Kagome thought to herself. With that thought, she got up from the table and decided that she would check out the park she saw on one of her earlier walks for a little bit. "Want to come with me Kirara?" the little cat looked up at her and just walked back into Sango's room to sleep. "I'll take that as a no." with a slight giggle, Kagome headed out the door.
*-*
"GET YOUR ASS OUT OF BED NOW!!" this loud shout could be heard coming from the apartment complex. "If you want to have your damn party then my stuff has to be moved in soon. It is already one in the afternoon. There will be no time if you don't GET UP" with that said, Inu-Yasha shoved his roommate out of the bed.
"Owww. Okay Inu-Yasha I am up we can go in a minute just let me get some clothes on okay. You didn't have to shove me out of bed you know." He grumbled as he got up and headed over to his dresser to get some clean clothes.
"Oh yes I did. You know how long I have been trying to get you up? 2 hours. You had two alarm clocks go off and me yelling and still there were no signs of you waking up. What the hell did you expect me to do?! It was a lucky thing that I did stay here last night or I would never get moved in." Inu-Yasha huffed and exited the room while Miroku got dressed.
30 minutes later the guys were in the car and on their way to Sesshy's house to get Inu-Yasha's stuff. When they got there they found that he wasn't home at the moment which made things easier. Inu didn't feel like talking to his brother anyway. It always made him mad and it would slow things down and they were already behind schedule as it was.
Once all of Inu's stuff was moved into the apartment, the guys headed out to get the supplies that they would need for the party that night. "I still cant believe that I have to go to this thing. I mean I can help you set up, but why do I have to be there?" Inu-Yasha complained to Miroku.
"Like I told you before, you need to socialize more. It will be good for you. I promise that you will have fun."
"Feh" was the only response that he got from his friend.
The continued getting the things that they would need and setting up the apartment. Of course this didn't happen without more complaining from Inu-Yasha. He just wasn't about to let this be easy for Miroku. 'It is worth his complaining, it is worth his complaining.' Miroku kept chanting in his head. He couldn't wait to see that girl again. 'Sango, I think that was her name.'
*-*
Sango got back to the apartment around 4:30. It hadn't taken as long as she thought it would. She found that no one was home and decided to take a shower before Kagome got back and start to get ready.
Kagome returned not long after Sango. She heard the shower running and figured that her roommate must be home. Since she was in the shower, Kagome decided to make dinner for the two of them. Sango emerged from the shower in sweat pants and a T-shirt. Kagome told her that she had made dinner and so she sat down to eat the food that Kagome had made.
After dinner, Kagome headed for the shower. Then they proceeded to get ready for the party. Around 7 they were both dressed and ready to go.
Kagome was wearing a light blue, silk, button up shirt. It was short sleeved and shiny, which Kagome loved about it. The color brought out her eyes as well. With that she had on tan pants that were form fitting. She decided to wear half of her hair pulled back and out of her face. Since she wasn't one for make up, she only applied some mascara and some lip-gloss.
Sango decided that she was going to wear a skirt. It was black and stopped right above her knees. There were short slits on either side of the skirt. She had a black top to go with it that had no sleeves and was form fitting. The neck of the shirt was V shaped and didn't go very low. She had minimal make up that included eye shadow, mascara and light lipstick.
Once the girls were ready, they grabbed their purses and a light jacket since it could get cold at night, and headed out to the apartment address that the guy had given them. The girls were definitely ready to party.
"I wonder if Miroku has a roommate that he lives with" Sango said to Kagome.
"Was that his name, I had forgotten. He gave me this weird vibe. Nothing bad mind you but something just seemed off. But if he does has a roommate, I hope that he isn't like him, no offense if you like him." Kagome said when she saw a slight blush on her roommate's face.
"I don't like him, I was just trying to make conversation, that's all." Sango replied, trying not to look at Kagome. They walked the rest of the way to the apartment in silence.
*-*
At around 6pm the guys were finished getting the place ready and decided to get dressed. Not long after they were ready did people start to show up at the apartment. Miroku had decided to wear jeans and a white shirt with a purple button up over it. It was his favorite color after all.
Inu-Yasha made himself disappear onto the balcony when the people started to show. Miroku could make him be there, didn't mean that he had to socialize. He told Miroku to find him when his girl showed if he wanted him to meet her but other then that he had wanted the guy to leave him alone. Inu had on black jeans and a red pull over shirt. He really didn't care what he looked like because he wasn't here to impress anyone.
*-*
The girls headed up the stairs to the apartment. They saw that there were a lot of people there already and since the door was left perpetually open, they walked right on in.
Once they entered, Miroku saw them. He went out to the balcony and dragged Inu-Yasha inside with him. "They just got here and I want to you to come over there with me, since there are two of them and I don't want the other to feel left out." He said to him.
"Feh, since when has there been a time when there was two of them that you left the other out?" Inu asked.
"Whatever, you promised so get your ass in gear." And with that said they headed over to where the girls had gone.
Kagome saw Miroku first heading towards them, but she didn't notice the guy that was following closely behind him. She saw that her friend was looking for the guy without looking like she was looking and so she tapped her on the shoulder. "Yo Sango don't look now, but here he comes." As soon as that was out of her mouth, Miroku was upon them.
"Evening ladies, I am so glad that you decided to take me up on the offer." He smiled at Sango as he closed the distance between them. He then turned to look at Kagome. "I would like you guys to meet my roommate, Inu-Yasha. Inu these are the girls that I was telling you about."
But Inu wasn't listening at all to his friend, he was too busy staring at the girls in front of him. He had noticed who she was long before the intro and before she realized that he was there at all. "Feh, I have already met this clumsy wench. She ran into me the other day." He remarked pointing to Kagome.
"My name is not wench, it is Kagome. And I see that your attitude is never pleasant." Kagome replied with a glare at the hanyou. "Maybe no one ever taught you any manners."
"Feh, why would I waste manners on you wench?" once again he refused to use her name.
"It is Kagome, ass. Or is your memory that bad. Or maybe it is true that you cant teach an old dog new tricks." And with that said she looked at Sango and left to go mingle with the rest of the party.
Inu-Yasha was not happy at all with that comment and Sango and Miroku could tell. "Stupid wench, what the hell does she know about anything. I told you that I didn't want to be here!" he directed that at Miroku and then stormed back off to the balcony.
"Well that went well." Miroku said, trying to lighten the situation.
Sango was still a little shocked because she didn't think that her friend could get mad like that. She didn't seem the type. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she felt something on her backside. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Miroku's hand on her butt.
*SLAP*
"PERVERT" she screamed at him and stormed away. 'Wow that girl has some serious spunk. I think that I will have to get to know her better' and with that thought he headed into the party more to find where Sango had wondered off to.
*-*
"Argh I can't believe that guy. Is he ever in a good mood?" Kagome thought to herself as she got a drink. While leaning against the wall, another guy approached her.
"Hey there, would you like to dance? My name in Kouga." Kagome looked up when the guy started talking to her and thought that he looked kind of cute. What could one dance hurt? She accepted his offer and he lead her to the area that was cleared for dancing.
Before she knew it, she had danced for about half an hour with the guy and realized that he wasn't too bad, but he just wasn't her type. She politely excused herself and he told he to hurry back. She told him that he should find someone else to dance with, but he said he would wait. She gave him a wavering smile as she left. 'I don't think that that guy got the point. He acts like he is my boyfriend already.'
As Kouga watched Kagome leave he thought to himself, 'She definitely is pretty. I think that she will love being my woman.' He smiled to himself at that.
*-*
Kagome saw Kouga looking at her when she returned to the dance area. Then she saw that he was going to try and get to her. Thinking quickly, she saw that there was a balcony next to her and decided that she would dodge him by going out there.
She didn't realize that there was someone else out there that was about to head back into the apartment. Since she wasn't really looking where she was going because she was trying to make sure that Kouga didn't see where she went, she smacked right into said person, causing her to land on he butt again.
"What is it with you and running into me, wench?"
Kagome would recognize the voice anywhere. 'Why does it always have to be him?' slowly she raised her head until her eyes met that of one unhappy hanyou.
"What is you excuse this time?" he asked he rather harshly.
She was about to respond to him, when she heard a voice behind her say, "What are you doing to my women?" Both of their heads shot to look at the person who had just said that.
Inu was confused and the only thought that was going through Kagome's head was 'Since when am I his women?'
