InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Roommates ❯ Not a typical Sunday. ( Chapter 2 )
An: Thanks for reading! Wow, I got reviews already, which I thank you all for. (To Zelix, of course I remember you :P) I won't update on a daily basis, mainly because I want to see if I can get you all to say something, and that usually takes a few days. I love feedback, but keep the flames, if you don't like it - then why the hell are you opening the second chapter?
Unlike many others, my story won't end with a Lemon. It will have lemons in it, as well as Lime, solos etc. I never really understood why you should have to wait thirty chapters for the yummy stuff, why not mix it all up? Ne? Anywaaaayy, thanks for reading. Remember, Read-rate-review. Don't just sneak read :(
Okay enough of my rambling, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, never have and never will. :(
Chapter two, not a typical Sunday.
Sunday morning started a bit awkwardly for the forced-together-roommates. Kagome was a morning person, and so was InuYasha - neither, however, had a clue about that. They both opened their room door at the same time, only to almost choke on their yawns. Wearing nothing more than their normal sleeping clothes, which, for Kagome was an oversized tee-shirt, and InuYasha simple drawstring pj bottoms.
InuYasha's grinning face sent Kagome backing into her room, for more clothes. Luckily this was not going to be a problem, she was moving out tomorrow. InuYasha had smirked, but felt somewhat insecure. Taking the time to dress himself in more clothes too, the hanyou moved out of room into the kitchen before Kagome. Taking his normal bowl for cereal, he went looting the cabinets for Captain Crunch.
Kagome stepped out of the bathroom, connecting to her bedroom moments later, not sure if she could eat from his food again. Last night had been easy to do so, she had after all cooked enough for them both and he hadn't been home. She was always like this, feeling it wasn't her place to just go through someone else's belongings - being food or whatever, it just wasn't her style.
Maybe she could check her purse seeing how much money she had, eating out would be a treat to herself after yesterdays disaster. Her brown eyes darted around the room only to stop mid-track, remembering she had in the couch the day before. "Oh no," she whispered a bit to loudly when she heard the tv click on in the living room. 'Have some backbone Kagome!' With those words of wisdom, Kagome turned the handle exiting her room for the second time that day.
Two golden eyes followed her movement burning holes into her very existence, as she snatched her purse from the creme-colored couch. Taking a seat, she opened it up counting how much she had - needing to save some if she was to move again. The moving truck and men had cost a small fortune, but then again that had been across the country and she was sure it would be cheaper when it was a question concerning only a few blocks. Glancing up a second, broke her thoughts. The tv was tuned in on a group of animated girls wearing flowers in their hair and dancing around with some weird looking horses. She somehow found it odd that InuYasha was watching a very girly anime series, like that. He didn't seem to be the type. "Why are you watching that?" She asked curiously, while she mentally picked up the calculations of her expenses.
InuYasha reared his now confused gaze back to the tv and almost let out a scream, how the Hell had it ended up on that?! He hadn't even payed attention to the cube since Kagome had entered the room, and there was, of course, no way he'd admit that. "I was just flipping through," he replied - continuing his previous abuse on the remote control. Kagome yanked her head up, flashing him a blinding smile, "oh reaaally?" she drawled. InuYasha almost dropped his bowl that still held some milk and cereal, in his lap. "Yes, really!" he assured, putting on his cocky game face, like Hell he would let her walk away victorious in the argument he knew was soon to erupt between the two.
"If you'd ask me, I'd say you were preoccupied looking at me," she smiled prettily - batting her eyelashes at him. "Keh, don't flatter yourself," the hanyou shot back meeting her halfway with a comment of his own, "if someone was checking someone out it was definitely you, me yesterday." Kagome felt her face grow red, out of anger not embarrassment, she had so not 'checked' him out the day before. "That's absurd . . . " she said indignantly, she had thought he was sexy and . . . okay, so maybe she had checked him out.
"So you're telling me, when I stood there," he motioned toward his room door, "half-naked, you couldn't keep your eyes off me."
"Please, I was just surprised you were a guy. And, besides I wasn't looking at anything! You were the one with, the 'Wandering-eye' . . . you . . . meanie!"
"Meanie?" InuYasha echoed, incredulous. "I didn't know we were adopting the forth-grade rules of name-calling. You're obviously not only in the wrong apartment, but school as well."
"Hey, I worked hard to get in here, and I am not in the wrong apartment, this is my place too at least until tomorrow when I will be requesting a new one." Kagome stood up, ready to leave the room. She'd had enough of this for one day, and she was starving. To her horror her stomach made a growling sound, stopping InuYasha in the midst of throwing something back.
"Are you hungry?" He asked instead, making her blink, in surprise. He actually sounded nice, concerned if you must. She nodded, gripping her purse as she started to back away from him - his complete change of behavior scared her, this guy had worst mood swings then a woman with PMS. One moment he was ready to rip her head off, and the other become friends with her.
"Feel free to eat anything from the kitchen, just stay away from my cereal," he continued - rearing his gaze back to the tv which finally had stopped on a channel showing the news. Kagome wasn't going to say no to that. It would save her time and money. "Thanks," she replied softly - maybe this guy wasn't so bad after all. "Keh, I'm only nice because you cooked for me yesterday," okay, maybe not.
"I didn't cook for you yesterday, I just made too much and decided you might like some," she lied - of course, very badly. "You can't fool me, princess, I know you cooked for me," InuYasha grinned at her, she was really pretty when she blushed like that. "Don't call me that!"
"Call you what . . . princess?" He bit back a chuckle when she now was fuming, clearly not liking the word of endearment he'd picked out for her.
"That! I am not a princess, and my name is Kagome!" She hands found her hips. Damn it, this guy he was impossible!
"Whatever, princess, I thought you were hungry," InuYasha loved the fire he'd ignited in her gorgeous almond colored orbs, which reminded him of a foreign chocolate he'd had once. And damn that was the best candy he'd ever ate, and right now he was quite sure Kagome would taste, a thousand times, sweeter. "Humph!" Was the only reply he got, before she spun around giving her long black wavy hair an angry toss, she was mad, and he loved it!
He saw her enter the kitchen, and grinned when he heard the kitchen cabinet open and shut, with a loud 'BANG.' He'd be glad when he finally saw her go, even though a part of him would miss having their daily arguments. She had spunk, he gave her that - even though every time she'd open her mouth, he wished she'd just close it right back up again, nothing nice came out of it, neither from his but that was her fault. He was otherwise known to be a nice guy, maybe too nice sometimes. But this Kagome woman was definitely asking for it, and he just delivered. 'Yup, that's right' he thought, flipping the channels once again, 'I am just a victim, of that crazy Ladies' tongue lashing.'
Kagome stood in the kitchen fuming, InuYasha was not someone she wanted to be friends with and definitely never see again - starting Monday. He was arrogant, clearly insane and way too self-centered. He thought he owned everything, and that everyone on this planet was placed here to be his servant. Well, she'd never submit to him and his ways - tomorrow she'd be a free woman, free from the half-demon in the other room. And who did he think he was, hiding his identity like that? 'Grandpa didn't teach me the ways of the priestess for nothing,' she declared proudly, straightening her back where she stood. Kagome was for once happy her mother's father had taught her to read other peoples aura. He used to claim it would come in handy one day, and boy had he been right. Of course, she hadn't thought so at the time - it took many years to even understand the complex purification-spell of identification-reading.
However, Kagome Higurashi wasn't going to valse in there, and tell the guy to show himself to her, for all she knew he might try to kill her for knowing his 'secret'. He was clearly mentally unstable, no she wouldn't risk it. 'Besides, I'll be gone tomorrow - good bye to InuYasha and everything that he stands for,' God how she wished it was Monday already.

Hours passed and the roommates didn't speak a word to each other, which left the apartment very quiet and oddly boring. Kagome sat in her room on the floor, looting one of the boxes for something to do, while InuYasha sat in the living room sketching. He was going to take art classes, drawing was something he'd always had a passion for since he was a little kid. Drawing on everything with a surface, InuYasha used to get in trouble through high-school - for defacing school property. At one point he even did graffiti with a gang, which was, where he met Miroku. The two quickly became best friends, and the rest was history. They decided to stay together - so they had both applied to the same University and got in.
Glancing down at his painting, the corner of his lip tugged up into a smile. He'd been drawing Kagome. She was really beautiful, when she didn't speak. Hearing her move around inside the other bedroom, InuYasha smirked. It was so tempting to go in there and make her shout at him, her fiery tempter really turned him on. As if the Gods were eavesdropping on his thoughts, his cell-phone went off - set on vibrate it danced around on the coffee table, forcing him to dive for it before falling to the floor. The blue window displayed a number which made InuYasha cuss, "fucking hell," he groaned, flipping his middle finger up at the ceiling - clearly meant for the 'rulers' above - as he answered "hey honey," into the deep-red colored receiver.
Kagome messed around in her room, trying to preoccupy her mind - and not doing such a good job at it. Hearing InuYasha answering, what must have been, his phone made her heart jump. He sounded so calm and gentle, the way a man speaks to a woman he really loves. Meaning, it must be his girlfriend on the other end, she had to admit she was really curious who he was dating - what she was like and what he saw in her. Okay, that came out wrong - what she saw in him, not vise-versa. She mentally groaned, why did she have to be so attracted to him? He was.....not her type! Right? 'Sure Kagome, whatever you say,' she replied her thoughts sarcastically - she knew it was a lost case.
Taking a deep breathe, she went back to what she was doing - messing with her laptop. It was a new model and she found it somewhat complex, not wanting to work with her. "Why are you being so stubborn?!" She let out a madman like laughter, 'that's great, I really believe the computer can hear me. I am going insane and it's HIS fault,' Kagome nodded, indeed it was InuYasha's fault she was going crazy. Although, as many times she tried to convince herself of this small and very simple fact, it didn't taste right to her. Fisting some of her hair, Kagome fell backward on the hard floor - welcoming the pain that surged up her spine as the impact hadn't been gentle.
InuYasha heard the thud and quickly said goodbye to his girlfriend, which he almost had broken things off with a second earlier. She was so damn demanding, now she wanted him to come back home just so she could show him her new shrine outfit. Why the hell would he want to see that? Why did girls want their boyfriends to approve everything? It was just a waste of time, if you asked him. It wasn't as if he could just take the damn bus and be back home in ten minutes, but she didn't understand that. Whatever, he needed to see if Kagome was alright that loud bump hadn't sounded so pleasant.
Knocking softly on her bed room door, he waited for her to answer. When she didn't he twisted the handle and pushed the door open. At first glance he didn't see her through all the rubbish that was her belongings, still packed in endless of boxes. But after a second of just listening he quickly located her even pulse rate, she was laying sprawled out on the floor with her eyes closed. "Eh, Kagome?" It didn't go up a light of warning in his head that he'd used her real name for the first time, without mocking, since she'd arrived. That was until he called her name again and the body on the floor moved, yanking so fast up into a sitting position it made him jump.
"What?" She inquired softly, clearly using a tone of defeat. She didn't appear to be in the mood to argue with him, to his disappointment. There wouldn't be many more chances to see her blow up again, but he couldn't taunt her when she was acting like this. "Are you okay?"
Kagome blinked, "huh?" she replied bluntly. Had he just asked her what she thought he had? This wasn't what she had expected from InuYasha, being quiet sure he'd toss some stupid - aiming to fume - remark. "I heard a bump, so I thought I'd check if you were okay." Mmk, he was officially freaking her out, "I'm okay," she slurred - the bump she'd taken to her head, suddenly made her head swim. Kagome's breath hitched a notch when her vision blurred, forcing her to grip her head between her two hands.
"Uh-oh" she gasped out, this was not good she couldn't even hear her own breathing anymore. But before she hit the floor, two strong arms encircled her upper torso preventing the fall and knocking her right back to reality. Her own fingers left her now throbbing head, grasping the closest thing she could grab - his shoulders. "Thanks," she murmured - trying to move out and away from his firm hold. "Keh, don't be stupid princess, let me help you," before she could protest she was lifted off the floor and placed on her soft bedding. As her vision cleared, Kagome saw bits and pieces of his face - he was a bit too close, even for her liking. She was instantly reminded what he could do to her with his mere presence, her blood heated up making her head swim from other sensations then the previous, that had been pain. Now pain was something she could handle, while, this thing with InuYasha wasn't welcomed at all.
InuYasha got off the bed and walked into the bathroom that was connected, fetching a wet cold towel. If anyone knew anything about bumps to the head it was him, treating Miroku's on a daily basis. That reminded him, where was his friend? He hadn't even bothered calling, and that wasn't normal. Shrugging it off, InuYasha walked back into the room he'd left Kagome - who was now sitting up with a face that matched the sheets on her bed. "Lay down," he instructed, which to his mild surprise she did without as much as an comment. Draping her forehead in the soaked cloth, InuYasha noticed how her eyes screwed tightly shut.
"It'll feel good in a second, believe me," Kagome listened to his voice which came out very soothing and calm, she was now sure her mind was playing tricks with her. Her head was spinning, so fast she felt as if she was riding a really stomach lurching roller coaster. "I think I am going to be sick," she whispered. "I am known to have that effect on women," he joked, and picked her up, carried her to the bathroom.
Once inside, face over the toilet, Kagome hurled everything she'd had for breakfast out, which wasn't much. At the time she had been to mad to eat, ticked of by the guy who was now....helping her.
"Why are you so nice to me all of the sudden?" She asked as she washed her face with cold water. Picking up her toothbrush she proceeded cleansing her mouth free from the nasty taste of vomit. "Keh, I am a nice guy, you're the one with an attitude problem princess."
"Why do you," she paused only to spit out the toothpaste, "insist on calling me that?"
"What you don't like it?" The amusement in his voice rang clear in her ears as she now washed her mouth with cold water, she hated to admit it but she did enjoy their arguments - but not the name he'd picked out for her, of all things a name from the line of royalty. She wasn't a high-maintenance kind-a-girl, and never would be. She liked the small things, but she doubted that even if she did inform InuYasha of this, he'd still call her - "princess," that. "You should lay down, you might have a small concussion."
InuYasha grabbed Kagome's arm, pulling her out of the bathroom and pushed her back into the bed - and dear God how he wanted to do that under different circumstances. However, she was rude and he didn't like her....much. His body had a different opinion about this, much to his dismay, for the third time since he first saw her he started to become really hot. The top she was wearing had hiked up some, revealing her bellybutton - which to his surprise was pierced. His eyes traveled over her body, even though he tried to stop himself. His breaths came out heavier when he noticed her defiant gaze scowling at him, it was almost as if her fire called for his - wanting, needing him to ravish her, until she submit to him and only him.
Kagome watched him from her position, elbows supporting her weight off the bed while her legs hung over the edge. His intense golden colored eyes burned into her, making her break a sweat - if it wasn't for her fisted hands she was sure she'd start trembling under his inspection. She noticed he saw her piercing, which had ended up there under a lost bet. Her friend Eri was known to do some crazy betting, and Kagome was stupid enough to agree to one - which had resulted in her getting her bellybutton probed and poked. The only thing that had hurt from that experience was her ears - after her mother was done screaming. She'd been grounded for months, no tv or phone. Needless to say, she never placed a bet with Eri again.
InuYasha saw the window of opportunity to escape the room, before he did something they both would regret. When her eyes glazed over, lost in deep thoughts - he backed away slowly. Reaching the door, without much trouble he paused, maybe he should cook for her? She had after all done it for him, even though she said she hadn't - that girl was a terrible liar. Taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth to speak only to feel the vibration of his phone inside his jeans pocket. Turning his back toward her, InuYasha walked out of the bedroom and took the incoming call. "Where the hell are you?" He answered, knowing it was Miroku. "I am in love," came the reply. InuYasha groaned, "again? Okay, who is she and is that why you haven't called me, because you've been busy stalking some poor chick all day?"
"I haven't been stalking, she actually talked to me. And yes, I've been with her all day, she's amazing, man, you should meet her."
"Well, bring her over and we can have a party celebrating your love, what the hell Miroku - when have you ever brought a girlfriend over on her own free will?" InuYasha moved into his dark bedroom, closing the door behind him. He needed to cut this conversation short, the bulb in his pants demanded him so.
"You'll see, I'll bring her to the party tonight so you can meet her. Oh and bring Kagome."
"What? There is no way in hell I'll bring that wench!"
"Why not? Come on Inu, she deserves a chance to have some fun, after what you did to her," Miroku reminded him, as he had told him last night that she'd been crying. The feeling of guilt washed over him, "Damn it! Alright, I'll ask her."
"Great! I'll see you at my place around eight then, and don't forget the chips." With that Miroku hung up, and InuYasha tossed the phone on his bed. His erection strained hard against his pants, making him growl "why the hell won't you go down?" Of course, he knew a unintelligent comment like that wouldn't will it back - his mind was swamped with the image of Kagome on her bed.
Walking stiffly into his bathroom, he quickly locked the door behind him. Standing in the middle of the small room, InuYasha almost ripped the rough material from his legs - he was starting to hurt, and from experience he knew if he didn't do something really soon, he wouldn't walk straight for the rest of the day. Free from his clothing, he quickly gripped his erection while closing his eyes. The previous event played like a movie inside his perverted head, over and over as he pumped himself to a carefree, but extremely, lonely climax. His strong legs started to wobble, forcing him down to a kneeling position as he came growling deep in his throat. The conceal-spell fell from his features, and he almost tipped over from the intensity of the rapture that surged his veins. "Shit," he cussed seeing all the semen he had gushed out in the towel, from his still semi-hard erection. It clearly was begging for more, and something way different; and dear God did he want that too. But she didn't like him, and he sure as hell didn't like her! Right? Right! 'Besides, I have a girlfriend,' he thought, twisting to turn on the shower - a really cold one would help him, or so he hoped. 'But you don't love her anymore,' a nagging little voice spoke inside his head, 'if you did, you wouldn't want Kagome at all.' He knew that was the truth, but he refused to believe it.

Kagome shook her head in disbelief, "what?"
"I said, do you want to come to a party with me?" InuYasha repeated, with his arms folded across his chest. He was dressed mouth-droopingly good, black somewhat bulky pants, which, went really good with the red tight tee-shirt that dressed his upper torso. Wearing his boots, as if ready to go - he leaned heavily against the wall in her room. "I heard that, I am just in denial that you're actually asking me to go with you," she explained, moving to one of her boxes, "will there be food there?"
"Are you kidding me? Of course there will be, I wouldn't go if there wasn't," InuYasha smirked - he rarely went to social gatherings unless they served something eatable. "In that case I accept, how long do I have to get ready?"
"Ten minutes," she knew he was just saying that so she'd blow up, but no she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "Alright," she replied - bending to pick up a box which she knew contained one of her best party outfits, "you can time me." And with that Kagome disappeared into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
InuYasha sat down in the livingroom couch, counting the minutes. There was no way she'd make the ten minute deadline, no girl he had ever known or even heard about could get ready for a party in that short amount of time.
However, InuYasha found himself eating his words when nine minutes had passed and her room door opened - forcing him to stay in a seating position. She was simply the most sexy thing he had ever laid his eyes upon. Wearing high heels, he guessed boots, even though he couldn't tell for her black leather pants, that rode low on her hips, concealed them good. A black spaghetti strapped top, showed off her pale flawless skin without being to vulgar. "Well? I am starving!" Her voice snapped his attention back to reality, and her face. Her black hair was set free from her earlier bonds, now spilling the black silken locks over her shoulder and back. She didn't wear much makeup to his surprise, just deep pink lip-gloss and sparkly eyeshadow. InuYasha found himself liking this more then his girlfriends battle-paint, she always wore way to much.
"Yeah, let's go," he replied with a hoarse voice, that made her throw him a confused look. InuYasha quickly noticed this, however, and added "princess," to save himself. Much to his relief, Kagome turned around - giving her hair a pert toss, before marching down the hallway. "Don't call me that," she said as she opened the front door, glancing over her shoulder to see if he followed, which he did. "Why not?" She heard him ask bluntly, as they descended the long and endless staircase, "because my name is,..."
"Kagome, yes I know, princess," he finished - quickly dashing out of the way when she reached to swat him.
Finally outside, Kagome took a deep breath. The air was cool but warm at the same time, reminding her that it was early summer and that school wouldn't start for another two months. She had wanted to spend that time getting to know her roommate, but that had of course backfired. But, she didn't give up - tomorrow was a new day, one that held a new apartment and a new friend.
However, she followed InuYasha down the sidewalk as they moved toward another apartment-complex. She guessed that's where the party, but more importantly, where the food was. Her high-heel shoes clicked against the concrete surface, bringing the clueless owner closer to a night she would never forget, for as long as she lived.
