Ch.5
It was 7 o'clock and Yusuke was fast asleep. He totally forgot about school. But that's why Kagome was there.
She stood in front of his bed, smirking down at him. Out of no where, a bucket of water appeared. She poured it all over his body. “TIME TO WAKE UP!” she yelled at him as the water hit his body.
He quickly shot out of bed and screamed slightly.
Clutching her sides, Kagome started laughing hysterically.
With his wet bangs covering his eyes, he did his best to glare at her. She sure had changed in over a day. The first day he met her, she seemed so innocent and pure. Now she's a trouble maker punk! Girls and their hormones…
He got up and tacked her in a bear hug. “AH!” she screamed before they both toppled over.
Kagome frowned. “Your all wet! Get off! Your getting me wet too!”
Yusuke just smiled and hugged her tighter. “That was the point.” And he hopped off her and headed towards the bathroom.
She just stayed on the ground. “He was pretty cute with his hair down…” shrugging she got up and went to the kitchen to start breakfast.
Atsuko had left earlier and had reminded Kagome that Yusuke was to start school. She made it her personal duty to wake him up everyday. Leaving her a spare key, she left Kagome in charge of the house.
By the time Yusuke was finished getting ready, breakfast was already made. There were egg omelet's, muffins, bacon, orange juice, milk, and coffee. [okay.. I know they are nihon jin but I dunnoe what they eat for breakfast…]
Kagome was already done, and was currently drinking her coffee while reading the newspaper.
Yusuke looked at the food. “Did you make this?” he asked.
She nodded, not looking up from the paper.
“Then are you sure it's safe to eat?”
That caught her attention. Yusuke suddenly found a piece of egg on his face. He immediately stopped laughing and glared at Kagome. “Trying to start a war?” he asked.
She rose an eyebrow. “If you make a mess, your cleaning it up.” was all she said. He frowned. The place was messy enough; he didn't want to clean anything up. He wouldn't be surprised if something mutated out of the trash.
“Don't you have to go to school now?” Kagome said from behind the newspaper.
Yusuke glanced at the clock. “Yeah.” He slowly got up from his chair and started heading towards the door.
“Be a nice little boy and clean up your mess.”
He turned around and glared at her. She just smiled back innocently.
Grumbling, he grabbed his plates and cups and put them in the sink. Right as he was out the door, something was thrown at him. He quickly turned around and caught it. It was his bag.
Kagome had turned around in the chair so she was facing him. “You know, you still need to explain to me how you know Botan.”
“I'll tell you later.” Was all he said before disappearing out the door.

Yusuke was cursing Kagome under his breath. Why did he have to go to school? He barely made it into high school. Plus, he didn't want to see a certain brown-haired girl.
As he walked into school, people stared. It seemed his reputation even reached the upper classmen. He just ignored their looks as he made his way towards the office.
Walking towards the registration desk, he saw the person he had wished to avoid. Keiko. She still looked the same, except her hair had grown longer. It now touched her shoulders.
Their eyes met. He shifted awkwardly under her gaze. They hadn't talked in a long time. “Yo.”
“Hello Yusuke. I'm surprised you went to school.” She said while softly smiling.
He just shrugged. “I was forced to.”
Keiko rolled her eyes. He was still the same. She had missed him. But it was her choice to push him away. She knew he had really liked her, maybe even loved her, but his job was always first, and she needed someone to always be there for her.
That's when she met a college guy. Her parents had hired him to tutor her in her studies so she could get into a good high school and college. Even though she was 5 years older then her, she still liked him. He was smart and kind. He seemed like the right guy for her.
“So where's your boyfriend?” Yusuke asked with a hint of jealousy and sadness in his voice.
Keiko sighed. “I need to tell you something Yusuke. I don't really have a boyfriend. At least not yet. I just really like this guy, but he doesn't know my feelings for him.”
He looked at her with surprise. Keiko had lied to him? Well this was new. Suddenly, everything clicked in his head. So she wasn't clueless, that was just an excuse to make him back off.
He snorted. “Well, whatever. Who's the guy anyways?”
She blushed a tint of pink. In a way, they were still friends. So she told him. “His name is Hojo. He's my tutor.”
Yusuke rose an eyebrow. “You mean he's older than you?”
She nodded with the blush still on her face.
“How much older?” he asked with a frown on his face.
“5 years.”
Yusuke's jaw dropped. 5 years… maybe Kagome knows who this guy is. He made a mental note to ask her later. “Wow, he's pretty old. Just make sure not to get hurt by him.”
Keiko smiled. “Thanks Yusuke, I won't.” She looked at the clock and grabbed her schedule. “Class is about to start. I'll see you later!” and with a wave of the hand, she was gone.
He shook his head. It didn't hurt that much anymore to know that Keiko has a new crush. After all, they were good friends, only he wanted to become something more. He would still protect her from anyone who tried to hurt her. Even if it was a boyfriend.
After that little morning's incident, the rest of the day was boring. All the teachers did was introduce themselves and talked for hours. The day seemed to drag on forever.
Around lunchtime, he ran into Miroku. “Why hello, Yusuke was it? How are you doing?”
“I'm as bored as hell, I was thinking of skipping, but Kagome would kill me if she found out.” Yusuke grunted out.
Miroku chuckled. “That sounds like Kagome alright. So tell me, do you like her?”
That question caught Yusuke off guard. “Wh-What?!” he yelled out.
“I said, do you like Kagome? That one-day, you two were awfully close. I was wondering if you guys were a couple.” Miroku said with a fake confused look on his face.
Yusuke blushed. “No, of course not. Who would want to date that trouble maker?”
The blush confirmed Miroku's suspicions. “Ah, but of course. But aren't you yourself a troublemaker? You two are two of a kind don't you think?”
Before Yusuke could answer a female voice called out. “Houshi! Where are you? If you're groping some girl I'm going to kill you!”
Miroku visibly paled. “Well, I have to go now! Take care!” and he ran off towards the sound of the voice at the speed of light.
Yusuke sweat dropped. He was happy no girl had any control over him like that.

For the whole day, Kagome had been cleaning. She managed to clean up the living room and kitchen. All there was left was Yusuke's room.
She opened the door and cautiously looked in. Clothes were lying all over the place and everything was covered in dust. She tied a bandana around her face and started vacuuming.
When that was done, she began to wipe the whole place down. Satisfied that everything was now sparkly clean she began collecting clothes. Walking into the laundry room, she began separating clothes.
She frowned at the lack of style Yusuke had. Shrugging she started dumping in his clothes. In one of his jean pockets was a communicator.
Kagome stared at it. `I've seen something like this before…' she thought to herself. After several minutes passed by, it suddenly hit her. “Koenma!” she said out loud. She smirked at the communicator. Oh yes, Yusuke was going to have a LOT of explaining to do when he got home. She put it back into his jeans and put them back in his room.
While the laundry was going, she watched TV. She glanced at the clock. It was almost 3:35. `Yusuke should be home soon.'
After she folded all the clean laundry and put them in the appropriate rooms, she began to pick out her wardrobe. She picked out a red t-shirt that said `Rocaware' on it and dark blue jeans. She had red eye shadow on and black mascara.
Looking at the time, she decided to leave. Just as she opened the door, she came face to face with an agitated looking Yusuke. “Fun day at school?” she asked with a smirk on her face.
He grunted and brushed past her. His eyes widened and his jaw hit the floor as he saw the apartment. It was…clean! He never knew his floor was white, he always thought it was some gray color or something.
Kagome leaned against the door. “Did I do a good job or what?”
Yusuke just nodded, still recovering from shock.
Getting up she opened the door. “I'll be back in time for dinner. Later”, she said as she walked out the door. Popping her head back in she added, “Don't forget to do your homework!” and then she shut it and locked it.
Grumbling, Yusuke opened the door to his room and threw his bag in. He did a double take. “Whoa! My room is clean!” Then he noticed the nice folded clothes. Then realization hit him. “She was in my room!”

Kagome had reached the café pretty early. She ordered a tall mocha and a muffin as she waited for Miroku.
A few minutes later he walked in with someone trailing behind him. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw Sango.
Squealing, they both hugged each other. “Oh Sango it's been too long!”
“I know Kagome! How have you been?” she asked as she released her hold.
“Eh, okay.” Kagome said as she sat down.
Both Miroku and Sango pulled up chairs and sat on both sides of her. Sango gave her a questioning look. “Has something happened?”
“Yes Kagome, would you like to tell us what happened between you and Inuyasha?”
Kagome was about to protest when Miroku cut her off. “Don't think I didn't notice. You looked quite mad when I mentioned his name the other day.”
Defeated, Kagome told them about her being a fallen angel, the argument she had with Inuyasha, and how she had come to meet Yusuke.
Sango looked at her friend with pity in her eyes. “I'm so sorry Kagome! He always seems to break your heart. But hey, you got Yusuke now!”
Kagome smiled weakly. “Yeah, I'll forget about the stupid puppy. Yusuke is just like him though, both hardheaded and stubborn.”
Everyone laughed. “So tell me,” kagome continued “are you guys dating anyone?”
A lecherous smile suddenly appeared on Miroku's face. “Well there was this one girl I went home with one night and-“
Sango cut him off by smacking him upside the head. Kagome giggled. “I see your still keeping him under control.”
She fumed. “Stupid houshi! Flirts with every girl in school.”
Kagome's ears perked. “School? Hm, maybe I'll go to your guy's school. What school do you go to?”
“The same one Yusuke goes to.” Miroku said while rubbing his head.
“Ah, that's cool! Now I get to bug him at home and at school!” Kagome said while grinning madly.
Sango rolled her eyes. “I feel sorry for him. Try not to torture him to much okay Kags?”
Kagome pouted. “Fine.”
Suddenly, botan appeared in the café door. She ran over to the group. “Ah, there you are. Koenma would like to see you. All of you.”
Miroku immediately took her hand. “Ah, I see you have come back to me. I knew you couldn't resist my charms.” He said as his hand groped her butt.
Blushing, Botan smacked him in the head. “Hentai! Hurry up! He wants to see you now!”
Sighing, everyone headed outside where she opened a portal to Spirit World. As they stepped through, a voice greeted them.
“Welcome guardian of the shikon jewel and her companions.”
Heh, I'll stop here. I should probably tell you now, but the whole inu-gumi (plus Kikyo) have their memory and remember Kagome. Things will become clear in the next chapter… I hope. Please leave reviews!
