I was anxiously waiting for Inuyasha to arrive; he had called earlier and told me to get ready since he would pick me up. I called Sango and she said that she was already with Miroku and that they would later go to Inuyasha's house, for some reason I felt nervous to have Inuyasha pick me up at my home but then I realized… we've together alone before in his car, he's been to my house and has met my mother and my sister… there really wasn't anything to be nervous. I checked my reflection on the mirror making sure I was looking okay; my outfit was a dark green summer dress that barely made to my knees and I got my white flip flops. My half turned enough to stare at my belly, it was perfectly hidden and I smiled when I felt a soft kick coming from inside.

“I know… I'm excited too,” I said as I gently rubbed it; I felt a kick again and this time it was harder but I simply laughed. “That hurt mommy, bad baby…”

“Kagome?” I heard a knock on my door and my mother came in. “You look… pretty.”

“Thanks, I guess… what's up?” I asked as I sat on my bed, she sat next to me.

“Are you going somewhere?” she replied and I nodded, my mother shot me a look that demanded explanations and I sighed.

“Inuyasha invited me to his band practice… and I thought that since I'm not going to school and now that Kikyo is teaching me, I could probably…”

“Inuyasha is a great boy, he cares about school and Kikyo always says how nice he is to her…” I arched my brow and bit my lip nervous.

“So that means…?” my mother smiled.

“Honey, you can go… I'm sure you'll have fun with your friend.” My mother interrupted, I sighed relieved and let a smile curve my lips.

“Thanks,” I said and once my mom left me alone I started thinking about her words…

Friends.

Inuyasha and I definitely didn't act like friends… we were jealous about each other's love interests or better say suitors. We don't go out with other people either and we always gave each other excuses when we did something wrong, friends don't usually have excuses for anything… they just talk about it. Inuyasha and I seemed to like each other enough to act like a couple. But we could be considered friends since we haven't gone past a kiss on the cheek and whenever we tried to really kiss, someone would ruin it… that probably defined us as, friends of course. But maybe…

“Kagome! Inuyasha is here!” I heard my sister yell from downstairs, my questions could wait… after all, the person who could give me an answer was waiting for me on my living room.

I bit my bottom lip gently as I made my way downstairs and I let myself smile once I took a look at Inuyasha, I felt as if we were alone because his eyes wouldn't even blink as he saw me coming towards him. Inuyasha slowly walked towards the stair and before I reached the last two staircases he gestured me his hand and I grabbed it as I blushed, I looked at my sister who rolled her eyes before walking away. I had to stop myself from laughing since Kikyo was obviously jealous of Inuyasha's care of me.

“You look gorgeous,” he half whispered as he kept my hand with his, I bit my bottom lip and smiled again at him as I blushed even deeper.

“Thanks,” I managed to blurt out once we were inside the car, the striking smell of cigarettes invaded my nose and I immediately coughed.

“Sorry,” he apologized as he started the car and somehow I could tell he was more distressed than the last time I had silently complained about the smell… it probably had something to do with him aware of my pregnancy.

“It's not that bad,” I tried to let him know and he sighed.

“It doesn't make me feel better,” he admitted and I looked out the window, his words didn't make me feel better either.

As he drove to his house I could only hear him sigh along with the random songs that played from his stereo. His house wasn't far away from mine, it took us about 15 minutes to get there and when he parked outside I realized I had been there before.

“This is your house?” I asked amazed, he nodded.

“Yeah, why are you so surprised?” I shrugged my shoulders.

“Last time when…” I didn't know what words to use for the scene I caused a few weeks ago. “Well, when you had your band practice I didn't know this was your house… I thought it was Miroku's.”

“Yeah, he lives in an apartment by himself for a year now… he works and pays for it since his parents haven't talked to him since…” Inuyasha stopped and ran his fingers through his hair and I knew he was talking about his friend's dark past and I simply nodded. “… and he has no intention of going back to them,”

“Oh,” I uttered because I had nothing else to say.

Inuyasha gripped the steering wheel tightly for a few seconds before clearing his throat and walking out of his car, I closed my eyes for a moment imagining how hard it must have been for him to see his friend like that. I got out as well and saw him nervously pat his hand against his leg as he waited for me, Inuyasha opened the door for me and gestured me to go upstairs. I swallowed and suddenly heard some footsteps approaching quickly, I looked back and I saw Inuyasha getting tackled by a white blur.

“You ate it!” I heard the man yell as he grabbed Inuyasha by his arms and pressed his foot hard on his back.

The man didn't seem to notice I was there because he only concentrated in making Inuyasha feel pain; his eyes were just the same shade as Inuyasha's… a weird looking honey type and his trademark silver white hair was on his head as well.

“Sesshomaru get off!” Inuyasha yelled and I immediately recognized the name, his older brother.

“Admit it idiot! Say you ate it!” Sesshomaru angrily spat as he pulled Inuyasha's arms, he let out a loud shriek.

“Ate what? Be specific asshole! Believe it or not I eat many things… Ah!” his older brother pulled his arms harder; he let them a bit lose again.

“My blueberry muffin! Say it!” Sesshomaru said as he lifted his foot and then harshly placed it back on his back, Inuyasha let out a painful scream.

“Fine! I ate it for breakfast!” his brother smiled and let him go, Inuyasha grunted as he got up and finally Sesshomaru acknowledged my presence.

“Who are you?” he asked as he eyed me curiously and I cleared my throat but Inuyasha beat me to it.

“Sesshomaru, that's Kagome… Kagome, that's my idiotic brother that goes by the name of Sesshomaru.” Inuyasha said as he rubbed his arms gently, Sesshomaru arched a brow at me and I waved at him.

“You're charming, why are you with my brother?” he smiled at me and I let out a giggle, Inuyasha rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand as he pulled me upstairs with him.

“Forgive my brother, he thinks he so cool because he was the quarter back of our old high school and got a scholarship because of it.” Inuyasha seemed to be annoyed by it and the more steps we climbed the clearer I could listen to music been played, we finally reached the room. “Hey guys,”

“Kags!” Sango greeted as she walked towards me and hugged me. “You have to listen to the song Miroku just wrote… it's amazing,”

“It's really not that good,” he said as bit embarrassed and I smiled, Bankotsu snorted.

“You got that right…” he mumbled and Inuyasha looked at him angry.

“Oh, really? Tell me why?” he asked and Bankotsu sighed.

“I don't really like it, we should probably work on that chorus… it's repetitively annoying,” Bankotsu said and twisted his drum stick in his hand, Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

“It's what makes the song so special… it's what brings it alive.” Inuyasha claimed as he grabbed his guitar.

“No, what brings the song alive it's the acoustic drums playing on the background.” Inuyasha rolled his eyes again as Bankotsu laughed as he sat behind his drums.

“Whatever feeds your ego,” he positioned his fingers and looked at Miroku. “Ready?”

“Yeah,” he said and cleared his throat.

Inuyasha quickly began playing his guitar along with Miroku and Bankotsu, the song was very moving and suddenly they both stopped and only Inuyasha kept playing as Miroku licked his lips and began singing.

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see,
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach.

You know that I could use somebody,
You know that I could use somebody.

Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak.
Countless lovers under cover of the street.

You know that I could use somebody;
You know that I could use somebody.
Someone like you.

 

The song quickly regained its original rhythm and I could hear Inuyasha doing some background for the song, I couldn't believe how good they were… I wished I could listen to their songs that got stolen, Naraku was a great person and I could imagine his songs being great… but nothing could be compared to this. I looked back at Sango who had her eyes filled with tears and a large smile plastered on her face.

“What's wrong?” I asked loudly enough for her to listen, she let out a happy laugh.

“Miroku wrote this song for me, isn't he adorable?” She said before whipping away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep.
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat,
I hope it's gonna make you notice,
I hope it's gonna make you notice.

Someone like me,
Someone like me,
Someone like me, somebody…

Someone like you, somebody…
Someone like you, somebody…
Someone like you, somebody…

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see.

 

The song stopped there and Miroku walked towards Sango to kiss her, I smiled at her because she was very happy with him and somehow I felt that if she was happy… it made me happy as well. Miroku whispered something in her ear and she nodded before they walked out of the room holding hands.

“We'll be right back,” Miroku said and Sango dreamily stared at him as they walked out the door.

Inuyasha gently put down his guitar and was about to approach me but Bankotsu was already at my side before he could take one step.

“So… did you like the song?” Bankotsu asked and I smiled.

“It's great, I really liked it.” I admitted and he smiled back. “I liked the chorus especially.”

“Yeah, awesome isn't it?”

“I thought you found the chorus annoying,” Inuyasha walked next to me and stared at Bankotsu, he laughed.

“I was just messing around before; I always knew it was great.” He rolled his eyes and Bankotsu twirled his drum stick in his hand as he looked at me. “So… what do you think about drummers?”

“Um…” I started thinking about it… I haven't really talked to someone who played the drums before and the question took me off guard. Inuyasha sighed annoyed.

“Kagome, you look thirsty… how about we go downstairs and get you something to drink?” I looked at him confused and before he could answer he smiled at me and pulled my hand. “Good, let's go… Ban, you stay here. We won't take long.”

“Fine,” he said with a smile and Inuyasha dragged me out of the room.

“Bastard,” Inuyasha mumbled once we were outside and I looked at him curious; he noticed my stare on him and placed his eyes on me. “What?”

“You're acting crazy,” Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

“Then what do you think about drummers? Do you think they are attractive? Do you like them more than any other musician? Do you…?” I placed my hand on his mouth and started laughing; he pulled it away and looked at me angry. “What the fuck is so funny?”

“You have nothing to be jealous about… I don't like Bankotsu,” he seemed to blush for half a second and then cleared his throat… he was adorable.

“Can I ask you something?” he said as he stared at me with a serious look.

“Of course,” I said and he motioned me to get closer, Inuyasha half smiled.

“What do you think about guitarists?” I started laughed and he joined in.

I pressed my back against the wall because the amusement was making me wobbly, Inuyasha placed his hand next to my head and suddenly my laugh and his was drying up, his amber eyes stared at me and while his hand trapped me with him the other gently placed a strand of my hair behind my ear. His exotic eyes hypnotized me and I knew what was going to happen next, I gently placed my hand on his chest and suddenly felt something underneath his shirt. Inuyasha jumped away from it as if from instinct and clutched his hand to his chest.

“What…?” I couldn't finish the question because he removed his shirt.

I was amazed by the amount of little white squares plastered on his chest; small papers that seemed to be attached to his body with no real reason. There were about three on each of his pecs and four more along his abs with two each on a side of his upper arms. I looked at him confused… and amazed by how good his body looked, I wouldn't have guessed he looked this good but my thoughts were interrupted when he sighed.

“I'm trying to quit,” he confessed and pulled out from his pocket a pack of cigarettes.

“Nicotine patches?” I asked and he nodded.

“My car doesn't stink because Sesshomaru smokes… it's because I do.” He pressed his back against the wall and slid his back until he touched the ground to sit. “I've been trying to stop smoking for like a year now, at first I tried it with gum but… it didn't work so I had to try it with something stronger and I still can't stop.”

“It's fine, there's nothing…”

“No! It's not okay! I want to quit this disgusting habit more than ever because…!” Inuyasha stopped and I stared as I waited for him to continue, he sighed once again. “I want to quit because of you…”

“Inuyasha…” I heard the door knob turn and stopped.

“Hey, you guys okay? I kinda heard you screaming…” Bankotsu asked, I nodded as I stood up.

“Everything is fine; I just… dropped some juice.” I said and he arched his brow.

“I don't see you holding any glass.” I smiled.

“That's because I left it on the bathroom as I washed my hands.” he smiled back and settled his eyes on Inuyasha.

“Yash, why aren't you wearing a shirt?” he looked at Bankotsu for a second, Inuyasha then grabbed his shirt from the floor and raised it for him to see.

“Because it's filled with juice, I was about to go and change… if you don't mind,” Bankotsu laughed and Inuyasha lazily got up.

“Not at all… I'm just going to stay with Kagome, keeping her company.” Inuyasha gritted his teeth but started walking away anyways.

“I'm… going to get some water,” I said and Bankotsu softly grabbed my hand.

“You can get that later…” he smiled at me and I returned the gesture a bit nervous. “Kagome, you're really pretty and any guy would give anything to be in my place… how about we go out?”

“I… actually…” Bankotsu shook his head.

“Don't worry about Inuyasha; he's fine with this… I asked him.” I didn't know how to feel about this, insulted because he thought I wouldn't care about Inuyasha or flattered because… the guy had balls.

“I really think…” he placed my hand around his neck and I suddenly felt his breath against mine.

“Sh. No more thinking…” Bankotsu said and I suddenly felt someone pull me away, I looked back and saw Inuyasha.

“I forgot something,”

This time, I followed Bankotsu's advice and I was very happy I did because if I ruined this moment I might have hated myself forever. Inuyasha harshly pulled me closer to him and before I could notice, his lips had crashed on top of mine giving me the sweetest and greatest kiss I had received.
