InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Meeting Place ❯ and we hear more from Inu ( Chapter 3 )
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Wow, you're lucky. This is one crazy long chapter. I have no idea how to get them together, of course, but I have some good fluff planned. Just hang in there, k?
Sesshoumaru glanced up from behind Rin at the other people in the room. They were spending the day in his parent's living room, just hanging out. Sango and Miroku were working on an english assignment/cuddling on the other side of the room. Inuyasha was reading a book rather quietly, which Sess found odd because he knew for a fact that his brother had been jumpy and irritable of late.
Rin was working on her math homework, curled up on the couch with her open book on her knees. Ever lethargic, Sess was lying on his side behind her and distracting her from her homework with some well-places kisses and a little bit of caressing.
"Damnit Sess!" Rin exclaimed suddenly, glancing down at him. "Here I am trying to solve for X and you're making me all tingly!"
Inuyasha glanced up at his brother's girlfriend and her sudden outburst. He smirked slightly and put the book face down on the floor, getting up and streching.
"Keep your tingly feelings to yourself, okay Rin?" he said before walking out of the room. Sess caught his brother's look of disgust but didn't spare him any pity or further thought.
What's his problem today? It's Saturday, there's nothing to do but hang out with my friends and spend time with my girlfriend. If he's jealous, he could at least go and…sleep it off. Hmm…sleep…

Kagome flipped open her cell phone and paced around a little bit. Should she call Sango or not? Her insane supposed-best-friend had told her that if she didn't call the moment she got her list of suitable guys, she would be taking a little ride again.
Not wanting to ever get such a low grade on a history paper ever again (Kagome had been jumpy ever since she made the call, and had failed to finish the paper properly. She had as a result gotten a B grade on the three-page paper) Kagome had agreed.
But then again, Sango was spending her weekend with Miroku. Did she really want to interrupt what they were doing?
Staring at the phone as if it were her worst enemy, she began to type in Sango's number.
She hung up before it could ring and took a deep breath. You're just calling your best friend. Get on with it already, she told herself.
Dialing again, she pretended that the phone was glued to her ear and there was no way she could hang up.
It worked until the second ring, anyway.
That's two rings, she must be busy…
~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~
Inuyasha walked into the room he shared with Sesshoumaru. It wasn't all that bad, actually. They had a rather interesting setup in the small room. Inuyasha's bed was pushed up against the wall and in a corner, and Sess' bunk was perpendicular to his own, the ladder access going down on the opposite side of the room from Inu's bed.
Since the elder twin did nothing other than sleep, eat, and toy with his girlfriend he required nothing in the room other than the space to sleep and a place to put his clothes.
Taking this into consideration, Inuyasha had a small computer lab set up under his brother's bed, in the small ammount of floor space they had left. Sess never complained, because all he had to do was turn when he got in the door and climb into his bed. His clothes were to the left of the door, which also allowed him easy access.
Inuyasha, however, could only get to his bed by weaving through all of his stuff. Waist-deep in computer equptment, he was amazed that he hadn't set fire to the house yet with all the electricity running through his room.
When he turned on the lightswitch, bunches of things happened at once. Two laptops blinked to life, along with a desktop and various lamps. A sterio began to blare heavy metal at him and he grinned, recognizing the song.
I pulled you out of a crowd and talked to you
You said thanks can I follow you?
And out of view no prying eyes
I asked your name you asked the time.
The club is closed we're up the block,
Pressing hard against your jeans.
Trying to keep the words from commin out,
Youdon't care to know who else may have been you before.
I want a lover I don't have to love,
I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck,
Here's the kid with the chemicals,
I thought he said to me him here but I'm not sure.
I've got the money if you've got the time,
I said I'll give it a try.
We both forgot where your car was parked,
Let's just take the train,
I'll meet up with the band in the morning.
Bad actors with bad habits,
Some sad singers they just play tragic,
Let's just keep touching,
Let's just keep…keep singing.
Sitting down at his desktop and pulling the power on his laptop, he re-routed the printer's cord to the single power grid he had in the room. Waiting impaitently while the computer booted up, he contemplated what would happen if he stuck a hot lightbulb in Sesshoumaru's pillow case. Maybe he would get a day off school if his brother was livid enough. Their mother never joked about injuries, which was a plus for Inuyasha and meant nothing to Sesshoumaru.
He clicked on the internet icon and typed madly away, ending up in his inbox. This was a dusty place that he did not venture often, since it was mostly notices and spam anyway.
His buddy list was dead, which was no surprise since anyone he would have talked to was sitting in his living room. Inuyasha then noticed the message he had been waiting for.
Hmm…maybe this day won't be a total loss. I'll get to look at and/or call some hot chicks…can't go all that wrong…
He opened the mail and grinned at the long list of links.
Inuyasha clicked on the first one.
He was greeted with a picture of a middle-aged blonde. She was wearing red and white checkerboard hairbows and a neon purple frock. Squinting, Inuyasha discovered that the creature was missing teeth.
When he went to click `back', a slow and heavily accented voice said "I wont to mheet you, hot thang,"
Inuyasha shivered and resolutely clicked the `back' button.
Next on his list wasn't so terrible looking. Her brown hair was in a pony and she was wearing nice clothes that matched. Her name turned out to be Gurtrude, which he found rather odd. Her voice was what did her in-it was high and squeeky and made him twitch.
His day pretty much went like that. The women were either too old, too ugly, or had horrendous voices.
Giving up hope and clicking on the very last link, which according to the top of the screen was the latest female addition to the available desperates, Inuyasha was completely surprised.
The girl didn't look bad at all. She was, in her first picture, wearing a skimpy bikini that displayed a tan tummy and well-toned muscles. It was obviously candid, because she wasn't looking straight at the camera and she was washing what he assumed to be her car with a normal green hose. There was grass and mud flecked over her tanned skin.
Inuyasha licked his lips and clicked the `next' button. Not many of the other girls had uploaded more than one picture. The ones that had, he had no reason to click on. In the comment box for one he had actually written `Ugly. As. Sin.'
In the next picture, she was grinning and giving someone other than the camera the peace sign. She was in a tank top and sitting the the car she had previously been washing.
Inuyasha's mouth watered. She was drop-dead beautiful, even if she wasn't intentionally posing for the camera. That only made him more interested. Why wasn't she posing like the girls in all the other pictures? Had she not known that she was being captured on film? He smiled at the thought that these were all candid camera shots.
The next picture topped all the other ones. She was wearing pajama bottoms and an oversized t-shirt, headphones on and her hair messed up in a cute way that made him want to hug her. One of her bunny slippers was almost falling off her foot, exposing several painted blue tonails. She had been laughing when the picutre was taken.
Inuyasha stared at her smiling face and tried to click next, but discovered that it was the last picutre. He was glad she was smart enough to put bikini on top, because if he had seen this one first he would have kept going.
Good…she has the looks, the brains, but…
His eyes skimmed the info she had put in her profile. Her eighteenth birthday was in a few weeks, towards Halloween. She worked in a bookstore and liked to help other people. And…she went to…
His mouth dropped open when he read the name of the school. This beautiful girl went to his school! How could he not have noticed it before? Deciding that he would find her on Monday, and renewed with a purpose in life, his eyes flew to her name.
That was when his mouth went dry.
Kagome Hiragushi, President of the Class of 2004.

Miroku pressed his ear to the door. "I…I…I don't hear anything other than Longview! Inu, man, don't be that desperate please!"
Sango snorted, rolling her eyes. When Inuyasha had left, they had meticulously crept up to see if he had gotten his list from 29X yet.
The door flew open and Inuyasha stared blankly at Miroku. "Wha…? Oh, the song? It's just the radio. But Miroku, come and look at this!"
"No…I have no desire to either be electricuted in there or to risk angering my sweet Sango," he glanced over at his girlfriend. "So just describe whatever it is-in detail."
Inuyasha shrugged. "Your loss,"
Miroku stuck out his bottom lip and looked over at Sango. "…it's not porn, is it?"
"No," Inuyasha replied. "Just a picture,"
"Of what?" Sango asked curiously, walking over to Inuyasha's computer nest.
He glanced up at her. "You know Hiragushi, right? The Class Prez?"
Sango nodded. "She's my best friend. Why do you ask, Inuyasha?"
"Well…I found her profile on 29X meeting place," he admitted. "She doesn't seem like the tight-ass bitch that walks around school."
Sango shrugged, after blinking at hearing lovable sweet Kagome called something so deregatory. "You don't know her, do you? Ever stopped to say hello?"
"More like lift her skirt while she was walking upstairs," Miroku chuckled. "Ah…fond days, fond memories."
Sango narrowed her eyes. "So that explains it. You're in trouble."
"Wha…? Why?!" Miroku whined.
Sango crossed her arms and gave him a dramatic little `hmph', turning her nose up and closing her eyes.
This was a mistake, because Miroku reached over and pinched her butt. She squeaked and smacked his hand, eyes wide.
Giving him a glare that promised sudden death, Sango's expression lightened and she turned to Inuyasha.
"If you want to call Kag, here's her cell phone number. Don't tell her where you got it from, okay?"
He nodded and grinned. "She's not going to like me, is she?"
"Oh…I dunno. I was planning a sleepover when the two of us girls could pick through her list of guys, but…if you like her…"
"Hey! We can't just set up our best friends like that!" Miroku exclaimed. "She'll think it's too convinent."
"You're right," Sango shrugged. "Oh well, lucky I have some blackmail and a couple of valid threats up my sleeves."
Inuyasha stared at her for a moment. "You're evil," he declared, and then turned back to Kagome's smiling picture.
Hmm…Kagome…wonder if she'll even talk to me…could be a challenge.
Whew! It's like eleven right now, and I have to end here because my parents can hear me typing. Sowwie! I'll write more later, kk? You know the drill, R `n' R!
