“Then he helped me take her upstairs and get her into bed. The whole time, I was just so…so mortified that he even had to be there”

“You should really kick her ass for that” Sango grumbled, plopping into her stool “She knew you had a date—probably knew she ruined it to”

“It's my fault…I mean; I should have known something like that would happen…it usually does on Saturday”

“Oh stop” Sango snapped “It's Kikyo's fault—not yours. You need to stop doing that, Kagome”

“Sango's right” Ayame bounced into the kitchen “That chick is straight up walking over you…you need to stop letting her get away with that shit or she'll see it as a green light to keep going”

“You make her sound worse than she is”

“You make her sound better than she is” Sango corrected “Its freakin' two in the afternoon, and she's still asleep. She's going be sooo late for work”

“Uh, they fired her already…”

“What?!” Both Ayame and Sango yelled

“How the fuck does she expect to pay for her part of the rent?!”

“Well, I was going to until—“

“Kagome! You need to seriously stop doing this shit for her!”

“You're letting her get away with too much” Sango agreed

“I know, I know” Kagome sighed, pushing away from the table with a glass of water and ibuprofen “I'll talk with her now...”

Ignoring the grumbles from her friends, Kagome made her way over to her sister's room, slipping in before shutting the door. Kikyo was face planted into her bed though she still seemed perfect. How did she do that…?

“Wake up Kikyo” After placing the glass and pills on the night stand, Kagome reached for the drapes, pulling them open as the girl in bed hissed “Its way past the whole beauty sleep thing…”

Kikyo sighed, sitting up “What time is it…?”

“Two-ish”

As Kagome plopped crossed legged in front of her sister, Kikyo took the pills and downed the water in a matter of seconds.

“You feeling alright?”

“Fine” she replied easily “How about you? How was your date?”

“It was going fine…”

“What happened?”

Kagome bit her lip “You don't remember? I had to pick you up from Cooler's last night…Alex said you got into another fight and you've been banned”

Kikyo gave a short laugh “There's another one off the list…sorry about that Kagome”

She gave a sad smile “It's fine. Just, next time, try to save that for a time when I'm not on a date…”

“I'll try” She reached over, giving her sister a hug before pulling back “Oh! Did I tell you?! I meet this guy last night and he works over in the next town in some casino. He does a show each night and wants me to be his assistant! Can you believe it!?”

Well of course she could. Kikyo wasn't adverse to gaining jobs here and there. It happened every once and awhile where she'd be away for a month then come back.

Kagome pulled a smile “That's awesome, Kikyo. When are you leaving?”

“Tonight”

She frowned “So soon?”

“Don't worry, Kags” she patted her sister's head, moving towards the closet “I'll call you like everyday. I swear, you won't even know I'm gone”

Probably not. Kikyo was barely around as it was. Still, her sister never called when she was away—unless it was a wire for cash.

“I'll even give you some of the money I earn, okay?” Again, Kagome doubted this but nodded as her sister stripped from her dress “Maybe I can get you a showgirl costume for your new boyfriend”

“That's okay” she said, waving her hands

“Hey, and I'm sorry about confusing you the other night with that stuff”

Kagome swallowed hard “Yea, I know”

“I mean, I could have sworn he asked me out or that we were something but” she shrugged, pulling on a top “oh well”

Yea….uncomfortable topic that she really didn't feel like participating in…

Being Kagome wasn't sure what to think; she took Inuyasha's advice and let it die. Instead, she stood, walking to Kikyo's vanity to pull at her hair.

“So are you two going out again?”

“Ummm….I don't know”

“Don't take it personally if he doesn't ask you” Kikyo continued “He seems like a flakey guy anyways…”

“Hmm” Kagome continued running her fingers through her hair

“Besides, little sister. Inuyasha runs in a different crowd…whether he asks you out again or not you should know now that he's going to want more. He'll get bored after a while—all guys do with the cute acts of innocence”

Kagome stopped, looking at her sister through the reflection as she was pulling on knee-high boots

“Sooner or later you'll find out that you don't know how to make his kind happy”

Kagome frowned, focusing back on her reflection. Inuyasha didn't seem like…that. But, then again, he was obviously in the crowd of Kikyo and Koga…she didn't want to believe the words and she wouldn't let the truth get to her just yet.

Right now she was just enjoying being with Inuyasha. There was nothing serious, nothing committing, just the two of them enjoying each others company.

Kagome smiled at the thought. She really did like his presence…

“No”

Inuyasha nodded

“No!”

He nodded again, shoving a helping of Ramen in his mouth

“That is seriously messed up” Miroku mused, reaching for his own Ramen “I've heard things about Kikyo but---damn. That's just not right”

“Damn straight it isn't. Had Kagome in tears because of it and that just got me pissed off as hell…”

“Ooo…this is getting interesting. So short of a time and already your all pissy about people hurting your girl”

“She's not my girl” he snapped

”You want here to be” Miroku pointed “I haven't heard you this remotely…involved since you were first with Kikyo. And now you're with her sister—small world, huh?”

“It's different” Inuyasha grumbled “She's different”

“Not to sound like a total ass but, you've said that shit before”

“Yea, well, that was before… The moment I left my family's estate, I dropped all that crazy shit”

“You weren't even crazy in that department to begin with” he mumbled

“The point is, for the first time I can actually see something with Kagome…”

“Ooo!” Miroku clapped his hands, his voice high-pitched, as he crossed his legs “Do tell!”

Inuyasha shook his head “Not when you sound like that”

“Alright, since you don't have anything more to say about Kagome, let's go on to her roommates…one in particular that was free…or so Kagome says…”

“Let me guess—the chick with the bat” Miroku nodded with a grin “Yeah, that's Sango”

“Think you can hook a friend up?”

“Keh”

“Come on!”

A knock sounded from the door and Inuyasha stood with a head shake “I'm not helping you in your lecherous schemes…”

“What if I told you I'm in reform—just like you?”

“I'd say you were a lying asshole”

He reached for the door, swinging it open to see a shy face buried half way against a familiar fabric. From the cloth he picked out a mumbled “Hey”

He smirked “Hey”

“Here” she held out the fabric “You forgot this last night…or I forgot I was wearing it…sorry”

He took it from her tossing it in the apartment “Don't stand their looking so damned scared”

She smiled nervously “Sorry…?”

“You better be—now get in here” he stepped aside, allowing her to enter as he closed to door.

“Hey Kagome!” Miroku waved merrily as Kagome went by him, standing near the foosball table “How are you and your roommates?”

“If you're wondering whether or not there's girls running around in towels down the hall-there aren't”

He snapped his fingers “Damn”

“Miroku wanted to ask you something” Inuyasha came to her side, handing her a bottle of water.

Though he nearly cursed himself for it, he couldn't help but wrap an arm around her, to rest his hand on her arm. She didn't seem to be bothered so he rubbed his hand up and down her arm as she took to the bottle.

“Oh?”

“Yea, he wants to get with your roommate”

“Which one?”

“Sango” he said merrily “Please, please, please tell me she's not seeing anyone yet”

“Since Friday when you last asked? Definitely not”

She allowed Inuyasha to lead her to his empty stool as she took a seat while he remained at her side, the arm now moving to rest against her back to continue the gentle motion.

“So…? Think you can put in a word for me?”

“It'd take ten million “words” to get her to go out with you without a baseball bat” Inuyasha commented “That's what you get for chasing around a chick in a towel”

“That was the old me! I told you…I'm reforming”

“So you want Sango to be your test?” Kagome said sharply “Is that what you're saying?”

“No no!” he waved his hands

Kagome sighed, looking up to Inuyasha “What do you think?”

He snorted “As long as other people are around he ain't so bad...”

“Hmmm” She bit her lip, looking at the mini foosball figures for a moment

“Uh oh…she's thinking…stand back”

Kagome made a sound, elbowing him, though he only pulled her against his side.

“What if we double dated?”

“What?”

“What?!”

Miroku smiled “I could go for that…”

“I couldn't!” Inuyasha scowled “No way in hell are the two of us ever supposed to double date again! We made a pact the last time you managed to fuck things up”

“Yeah, but that was only because of the girls…new reform remember…?” he crossed his heart “I'll be on my best behavior”

“Somehow, I doubt that…”

“It'll be fun” Kagome insisted.

He doubted that too. He'd much rather have Kagome to himself for a night….

“Keh” He tried moving away, but surprisingly enough, she stopped him. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she stood, her body pressed so deliciously close to his.

“Please…?”

He frowned

She squeezed him closer “Pretty please…?”

“Ahh--” She pouted, making him sigh heavily “fuck”

Kagome clapped, with a giggle as Miroku chuckled

“I take that as a yes?”

“When?”

“Tonight? I'll have to check with Sango…”

“Don't tell her who she's meeting!” Miroku stood with a grin “Just tell her about me, like it's a blind date…alright?”

Kagome grinned “I guess”

“Ah! I love you!” He hugged Kagome tightly making her giggle before bounding off to his room with a wave “I have to get ready!”

As soon as the door shut, Kagome found herself against a familiar chest, a soft breath tickling her neck. She sighed, relaxing against his body.

“About last night…”

“Its ended” he whispered

“I just wanted to—“

“You don't have to…”

“I'm still sorry though”

He exhaled heavily, pulling back to look down at her “Don't be. It wasn't your fault”

She bit her lip

“Alright?”

After a moment of hesitation she nodded.

“Good. Now what are we doing tonight?”

“Dinner?”

He made a face “I don't wanna get dressed up”

“My, aren't we pouty” he snorted to which she smiled “What about the pool hall down the street? Or is that too fancy for you too…?”

“A little”

She laughed “Well, what are you prepared to be dressed up for?”

“Bed”

She flushed “Oh”

He chuckled, pulling on her hips to move her closer “Hey”

“Hey what?” She smiled, her eyes dancing in laughter

“You, Ms. Higurashi, still owe me a kiss”

She cocked her head with a grin “Do I?”

“Yep”

Kagome moved forward, standing on her toes as the two kept eye contact. Just as their faces were as close as they could possibly be, she gave him an Eskimo kiss and pulled back, heading for the door

“Debt is paid!”

“Woah, woah, woah” he snaked an arm around her waist, bringing her back against his chest “Where do you think you're going? That—“

“Was a kiss” she said merrily

He raised an eyebrow “Hardly”

“Think you can do better?”

Inuyasha watched in amusement as her face became red from her own words. It was oddly addicting to watch her blush for him…it reminded him of just how innocent this girl was compared to the others he'd been with.

He smirked in her challenge, and spun her around so that they were facing each other once again.

As if acting on a reflex he lifted her up off with ground and crushed his lips to hers. Her legs hesitated to wrap around his waist at first, but as the kiss grew her legs became so tight around him that it was…Kami, it was good.

“Hey, Inuyasha? Do you think I should—oh, jeez!” The couple broke apart in choppy breath, Kagome burying her face under his chin, as Miroku looked them over “Get a room! Its not fair to do that in front of a guy with no one…yet!”

Upon he slamming of the door, Kagome lifted her eyes back on his amber eyes with a crimson blush. She shifted her legs a bit nervously, obviously aware of his erection, as her scent betrayed her

He mentally smirked wondering how many shades of red this girl would turn when…erm, if….no, no. When—defiantly when…they became more intimate.

After a gentle squeeze on her butt, which made her gasp, jump , and flush all at once, he let her back to her feet.

“I better tell Sango that we're going…”

He leaned in for another small kiss before nodding.

Though before she exited, she stopped and smiled over her shoulder.

“For the record? That was much better kiss than mine”

He smirked “Guess you'll just have to try better next time, huh?”

She ducked her head with a small smile before closing the door.
