Ch.4

 

After she said her final good byes to inuyasha, Kagome went back to the apartment. `Hm, Yusuke forgot to give me a spare key…' Lifting the doormat, her fingers ran over a key. “AH HA!” she said triumphantly. Some how she knew there would be an extra key there.

 

When she dropped everything off in her bedroom, she changed, and then set out towards the supermarket.

 

She was now wearing a white tank top with the kanji `bad' on it (Think of Sanosuke in Rurouni Kenshin~!) that stopped above her belly button, black low rider jeans that flared at the bottom, and black flip flops. Her hair cascaded down her back, and was now wavy because of the braid it was previously in. Her confrontation with Inuyasha really lifted a lot off her shoulders.

 

As she left the supermarket, she carried 4 huge bags in her arms. Walking along the sidewalk, she was about to reach the park when she ran into someone.

 

Her bags went flying as its contents came out. She landed hard on her butt. “Ow…” she winced as she rubbed her now bruised rump. A hand appeared in front of her face. She gratefully grabbed it. “Gomen!”

 

“It's quite alright,” a silky voice said. Violet eyes met blue.

 

Both stared at each other.

 

“Miroku…?” Kagome managed to squeak out.

 

“Ah, Kagome!”

 

With a big grin on her face, she tackled her old traveling friend. “I've missed you so much!”

 

“I've missed you too.” Miroku said while rubbing small circles on her back. Too bad old habits had to ruin the tender moment.

 

Kagome's eyes widened as she felt a hand grope her butt. “HENTAI!” she screamed as she got off him and punched him hard in the stomach.

 

This is the scene the Rekai Tentai walked on to. When Yusuke saw that guy grope Kagome, he grew furious. Just as he was about to run over there and beat the crap out of him, Kagome screamed and punched him hard.

 

“Still the same after all these years!” Kagome said with a heavy sigh. “Since you're already on the ground, can you help me pick up the food?”

 

He grinned at her. He winced when he touched his stomach. “I see your still as strong as ever!”

 

Kagome grinned back. “I have to keep you perverts in line somehow!”

 

They both laughed.

 

Spotting a red haired beauty in the distance, Miroku quickly hopped up from the ground and dusted himself off. He approached the maiden and cupped one of her hands. “You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen! Will you bear my child?”

 

A thick silence filled the air as everyone except Hiei, gaped at Miroku.

 

Kagome's laughter broke the silence. She was on the ground, clutching her sides while laughing like a maniac.

 

Pulling herself together, she tugged on Miroku's dragon tail. “That beautiful woman… is a man!” she said before breaking out into another round of laughter.

 

Miroku's eyes widened as he felt Kurama's chest. It was flat! He paled.

 

“Yes, I am a man, and being such, I cannot bear your child. Nor would I want to.” Kurama said, while trying to gain back his manly pride.

 

Everyone started joining Kagome in laughing, and Hiei just smirked.

 

Gaining his composure, Miroku walked over to Botan and grabbed her hand. “My fair lady, would you bear my child?”

 

Botan's eye twitched as she slapped Miroku hard. “NEVER!”

 

He rubbed his new red handprint on his face and sighed. “Perhaps a date then?”

 

“Don't push your luck!” Botan said in a threatening tone.

 

Noticing the new addition to the group, Kagome asked, “so who's the guy wearing all black?”

 

“This is Hiei. He doesn't talk very much. Hiei, meet Kagome.” Yusuke said.

 

“Hn” was all Hiei said as he glared at her.

 

`How rude!' she fumed and glared back.

 

Seeing that the glaring contest wouldn't end soon, Botan cleared her throat. “So who is this hentai?” she asked while pointing to a grinning Miroku.

 

“Ah, this is my old friend Miroku! He has a problem with his wandering hands!”

 

`Friend? How is that possible? I'll have to ask her later…' Yusuke thought.

 

“So who are you friends kagome?” Miroku asked, pointing his finger towards the big group.

 

“Let me see, Kurama is the one you thought was a woman, the other red head is Kuwabara, the glaring one is Hiei, Botan is the one who smacked you, and Yusuke is the cutie with gelled hair.”

 

`”Cutie”?' Yusuke thought to himself as he smirked. You could just feel his ego blowing up like a balloon…

 

She walked over to him and held his hand. Yusuke blushed at the sudden forwardness. She smiled sweetly at him. “He took me in, so now I'm living with him. I'm in debt to him!” she said softly while slightly squeezing his hand.

 

Miroku smiled lecherously. “So if he wanted you to sleep with him, you would do it? My Kagome, you sure have changed!”

 

Both Yusuke and Kagome blushed. They both walked over to him and punched him. “Hentai!” they yelled in unison.

 

Nursing his two new bumps, Miroku pouted. “What? I was just curious!”

 

Kagome sighed as she looked up at the sky. It was getting late. “Would you like to join us for dinner?” Kagome asked.

 

“I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline. I'm meeting Inuyasha tonight.”

 

Kagome's eyes suddenly filled with anger, before in diminished as quickly as it came. “Oh, okay. Another time then?”

 

“Yeah, sure. How about tomorrow at the coffee shop on 8th street at say, 4 o'clock?”

 

“Ok!” She let go of Yusuke's hand and kissed Miroku on the cheek before hugging him. “It was nice seeing you again.”

 

He hugged her back. “Yes Lady Kagome, I'm glad to see you again.” He whispered in her ear.

 

Releasing him, she waved as he walked off. Turning back to the group, she smiled. “Well, that was interesting! Can you guys help me pick up everything?” she said while pointing to the scattered items.

 

Everyone helped except for Hiei, who was leaning against a tree trunk, ignoring everyone.

 

Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama finally noticed Kagome's new ensemble as she bent down to pick up soup can. Both Yusuke and Kuwabara drooled while Kurama just stared.

`Well, she turned out to be sexy! I take back what I said about her earlier!'

 

`Calm down Youko.'

 

`We must have her!'

 

`You say that about every woman you see! Plus it's obvious she likes Yusuke!'

 

`I do not say that about every woman! Only the pretty ones!'

 

Kurama rolled his eyes at his counterpart.

 

With hearts in his eyes, Kuwabara grabbed Kagome's hand. “Your pretty! Will you go out with me?”

 

Kagome's eye twitched, along with part of her upper lip. “You're just like Miroku!” she screamed before side kicking him.

 

“Hey Kuwabara, what about Yukina?” Yusuke said reminded him.

 

“Ah! My lovely Yukina…” he said while he went into la la land.

 

Hiei glared at the baka saru for referring to his sister as his.

 

Kagome caught the glare and cocked her head to the side with a puzzled look on her face. Shrugging, she picked up some bags.

 

They were quickly taken out of her arms by Yusuke. “Thank you.”

 

He just flashed her his cocky smirk.

 

She rolled her eyes. `Men!'

---

 

As they arrived at the apartment, everyone settled down. Kuwbara and Botan sat on the couch watching TV, Hiei sat on the window seal, and Kurama was setting the table, and Yusuke had offered to help cook dinner.

 

“OW! Stupid knife!” Yusuke cried as he sucked his bleeding finger.

 

Kagome looked up from cutting the beef. She rolled her eyes. “Have you ever cooked before?”

 

Yusuke smiled. “Nope!”

 

She dropped anime style to the floor. “Then what good are YOU in the kitchen?”

 

“I can cut up stuff!” he huffed, offended by her comment.

 

Kagome looked at his finger. “Anything besides your fingers?” she giggled as he glared at her.

 

Grumbling, Yusuke picked up the knife and started cutting again. “GOD DAMN IT!” He sucked another finger he cut.

 

Kagome sighed and turned around to look at him. She put her hands on her hips and shook her head. “That's it! Get out! All your doing is getting blood on the food!” She grabbed the knife out of his hand and started pushing him out of the kitchen.

 

He began protesting, “Hey! It's not my fault they make knifes so sharp!”

 

“Go to the bathroom and go get some band aids!” she said, pointing towards the bathroom.

 

“Fine!” he grunted. Yusuke walked away muttering things under his breath.

 

Kurama looked up curiously from the table. `Those two have an interesting relationship. Like brother or sister. Or husband and wife. Depends on how you look at it.' “Would you like some help Kagome?”

 

Kagome looked towards him. “Oh, that would be nice.” She smiled before walking back to the kitchen.

 

Kurama set the rest of the table and followed Kagome. She was putting ingredients into a big pot. “What are you making?”

 

Looking up from the pot, she pointed to an open cookbook. “Kitsune Udon.”

 

`Kitsune eh? Maybe she likes kitsunes…' Youko purred out.

 

Kurama internally rolled his eyes, and decided to ignore him. “So what can I do?”

 

Kagome pointed to cutting board. “You can take over Yusuke's job. Cut up all the vegetables and put them in here when your done” she said while pointing to the pot.

 

Kurama just nodded and started chopping.

 

---

The dinner was pretty good. Everyone, minus Hiei, congratulated the two.

 

“Hey! I helped!” Yusuke said while crossing his arms.

 

“Uh-huh… all you did was cut your widdle fingers!” Kagome said pointing to his bandaged fingers.

 

Yusuke stuck his tongue out, while Kagome did the same.

 

“You two are immature.” Hiei stated.

 

Everyone at the table softly laughed, while Yusuke and Kagome pouted.

 

After everyone left, Kagome started cleaning up the table. She piled the bowls on top of each other and started walking towards the kitchen. On her way, she slipped and dropped the bowls.

 

With his fast reflexes, Yusuke quickly caught the bowls before they broke. He let out a sigh of relief when he found nothing broken.

 

Kagome just stared at him. She had never seen someone with fast reflexes. Besides people in the Feudal Era. And they weren't normal people either. “Wow, your fast.”

 

Yusuke just scratched the back of his head. “Yeah, I did a little martial arts back in the day.”

 

She didn't buy it, but let it slide anyways. Kagome nodded and collected the cups.

 

Entering the kitchen, she put some soup in a bowl and put it in the fridge. Atsuko (that's Yusuke's mom's name right…?) was at work, so she decided to save some noodles for her.

 

Running the water, both started to clean up. Kagome washed while Yusuke dried and put away. It was dead silent. All could be heard was the clanking of dinnerware.

 

Yusuke broke the silence first. “So how do you have a friend alive?

 

Kagome stared at him. “Oh you mean Miroku. It's called getting reincarnated hon.”

 

He rolled his eyes at the `hon' comment. “I might be late coming home some days.”

 

She looked at him. “Why? Oh, yeah. School's starting tomorrow. Is it club activities?”

 

“Uh… yeah. Something like that.”

 

Kagome rose an eyebrow. When he didn't respond, she just shrugged and went back to washing the dishes. She thought about the people she recently met. His friends sure were weird. One was a full-blooded youkai while the other was demon, yet human. What was even weirder was how Miroku didn't grope Botan. He might seriously like her. That was new.

 

While thinking, she accidentally touched the blade of the knife and cut her finger. “Yow!” She quickly yanked her finger out of the water and looked at her finger. Blood slowly dripped from the cut.

 

A big hand grabbed her wrist. Yusuke put her finger in his mouth and gently sucked it. Realizing what he was doing, he quickly let go and looked away, a blush staining his cheeks. “Sorry…” he mumbled out.

 

Kagome looked shocked before recovering. She smiled. “It's alright.”

 

“I just hope I don't get AIDS or something from you.” Yusuke said with a smirk.

 

Her eye twitched, and she socked him hard in the arm.

 

“OW! Your tough for a girl!” he said while rubbing his arm.

 

“What's that supposed to mean?! Are you saying girls are weak?”

 

And so a mindless squabble was started between the two.

 

Atsuko came walked through the door, and took of her shoes. She was exhausted from work. That was why she didn't like going, but she would make an exception since Kagome was here.

 

Hearing arguing from the kitchen, she saw Yusuke and Kagome arguing with each other. A small smile graced her lips. Maybe there was hope for her son after all.

 

She walked over and leaned against the doorway. “Quiet down children. The neighbors are trying to sleep.”

 

Both teenagers stopped yelling and looked at her.

 

Kagome looked embarrassed and Yusuke just wrinkled up his nose. “I am not a child” he huffed out.

 

Kagome pinched his cheeks. “I beg to differ.”

 

“Hey! You act like more of a child then me!”

 

Ignoring him, she walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out the soup she saved. “Would you like me to heat this up for you?” she asked Atsuko.

 

Atsuko just smiled tiredly. “Naw, I'm just gunna hit the hay. I'll see you tomorrow morning.” She said while yawing. Walking into her room, she quietly shut the door.

 

Kagome put the soup back in the fridge and started walking to the bathroom. Yusuke followed behind. “I'm going to take a shower ok?”

 

Yusuke grinned evilly. “Not if I get in there first.”

 

Kagome's eyes narrowed before she pushed him back and ran towards the bathroom.

 

Caught off guard, Yusuke stumbled a bit. Regaining his balance, he tacked Kagome to the ground. She fell with an `oof' as Yusuke towered over her. He smirked as she frowned.

 

She quickly pushed him off before she ran into the bathroom, and locked the door. A triumphant `HA!' could be heard on the other side.

 

Yusuke just smiled from the floor. Life sure got more interesting now that Kagome was here.
