Just By Luck
 
Chapter 8:
 
Kagome sat on her bed, painting Rin's fingernails a glittering pink. Since Kagome had taken InuYasha shopping yesterday, and that had been her idea of fun, he decided that he would invite all of his friends over for fun. Of course, Kagome's friends Miroku and Ayame were included. Kagome couldn't leave them out.
 
Therefore, all eight teenagers were hanging out in Kagome's room. Her mom had let everyone stay the night, as long as the guys went over to InuYasha's room to sleep whenever they actually decided to go to bed.
 
InuYasha and Sesshomaru were currently playing on Kagome's PS3, while Miroku tried to hit on Sango. Ayame, had just had her fingernails and toenails painted a pretty,
Lavender color by Kagome, and was trying to let them air-dry, but Koga kept telling her how hot Kagome looked in her PJs.
 
“So, how are you and InuYasha doing?” Rin asked softly, as she watched the other girl carefully paint her fingers, careful not to get any paint on the skin.
 
“Ok. We still argue a lot, but he's not as annoying as he was when I first met him.” Kagome admitted, glancing over at the boy, who was currently yelling that Sesshomaru was cheating.
 
“Just, don't be too hard on him. I know he's stubborn, and can be a complete ass, but he has a hard life. He's not like you Kagome. His life isn't perfect, and it never will be. So, sometimes, when you are arguing with him, let him win. He needs to win some of the battles that are going on in his life.” Rin said softly, so that he couldn't hear. He still could have heard him, if he hadn't been shouting.
 
“Believe me, my life hasn't always been perfect.” Kagome said, thinking about her father and her life before her mother had met her step-father. Would Kagome be living exactly where these kids lived, if her mother hadn't met him?
“Just, be careful, ok. There are subjects that are very touchy for him. So if you ever come across one, don't push him into telling you. That's the last thing he needs.” Rin explained. Kagome nodded, and continued Rin's nails, pondering over what she had said.
 
“Sango, you're next!” Kagome called, as Rin moved out of the way, so Sango could get a manicure.
 
“That's okay, Kagome.” Sango said, not liking the idea of her nails being bright, girly colors. In all of her life, Sango could not remember having her nails painted, not once.
 
“That's good, now you can stay down here with me, Sango dear!” Miroku declared. Both of them had been sitting on the floor, on Sango's old Lion King sleeping bag. Sango glanced at Miroku, then at Kagome and the nail, trying to decipher which one was more evil.
 
“What colors do you have?” Sango asked, jumping up and sitting across from Kagome on her bed, leaving a dejected Miroku sitting on the floor.
 
“Sango, don't leave me!” Miroku shouted, reaching out toward the girl. Sango just rolled her eyes and began shifting through the decorated box where Kagome kept all her nail polish. She settled for silver, the least girly color she could find.
 
Kagome began to happily paint Sango's nails as they chatted about school, friends, and other related topics.
“Oh my God!” Ayame shouted from across the room. “If you like her so damn much go ask her out already!” She shrieked, annoyed by the wolf demon in front of her.
 
“Fine! I will!” Koga shouted, he stood up and stalked over to where Kagome and Sango were.
 
“Kagome, I was wondering if you would like to go out on a date with me.” Koga said.
 
“Back off Wolf, she likes rich guys, not guys like you.” InuYasha said, in a somewhat sing-song voice. Apparently, he had been paying more attention to what was going on in the room, then what everyone thought.
 
“I wasn't asking you Mutt, now were I? I was asking Kagome.” Koga declared, crossing his arms over his broad chest. Kagome bit her lip and glanced over at her best friend. Ayame was currently seated in Kagome's purple fuzzy chair, staring off into space. Ayame didn't have to tell Kagome that she liked Koga, she could already tell. They had been friends for so long; it was as if they could read each other's minds.
 
“I'm really sorry Koga. I would, you are really cute and all, but you're not my type.” Kagome said softly, not looking in his blue eyes.
 
“Ha! See! Told ya!” InuYasha yelled, his amber eyes still never leaving the TV screen.
 
“Well, if I'm not her type, then neither are you!” Koga shouted back. InuYasha's only response was flipping Koga the bird, and continuing on with his game.
 
“You know Koga, you might not be my type, but I think your Ayame's type.” Kagome said quietly. “And she looks pretty lonely over their. Why don't you go talk to her?” She suggested, winking at Sango.
 
“Uhhh….I don't know. We probably don't have anything in common.” Koga said, shrugging, looking slightly flustered.
 
“You'll never know if you never talk to her.” Kagome reminded. Koga glanced between Ayame and Kagome, then took her advice and went back over to Ayame. Kagome watched him pull a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and offer one to Ayame. The girl, of course, refused, but listened to what Koga was saying anyway.
 
“Hey Kagome! I wore that dress you gave me on a date with Sesshy last night, and he really, really liked it.” Rin told Kagome, coming up and flopping down next to Sango.
 
“Rin. I would appreciate it if you would not talk about our love life to other people.” Sesshomaru said very business like. Kagome grinned at the girl in front of her, and InuYasha snickered.
 
“Don't you mean sex life, fluffy?” InuYasha asked, grinning from ear to ear, using a name that he had heard Rin call him, late at night. Before anyone could blink, Sesshomaru had dropped his controller and launched himself at InuYasha.
 
“Whoo! Fight!” Miroku, who had been watching what had been going on with everyone in the room, yelled, grabbing a bowl of popcorn that had been popped earlier, while they were watching movies. “Now we need the girls to fight!” He shouted, then added, more thoughtfully, “and jell-o.”
 
Sango reached over and smacked him in the back of the head, careful not to smudge the nail polish that Kagome had just painted on.
 
“Shouldn't we stop them?” Kagome asked, jumping up, about to run over to the two boys, who were currently rolling around on her floor, and knocking things over.
 
“Nah. This is normal when InuYasha is at home. They haven't been around each other as much as usual. This is their way of showing that they care.” Rin said, cheerfully. She picked up two movies, Failure to launch, and The Pacifier. “Which one should we watch?” She asked, ignoring the fighting brothers.
