A/N Haha, another chapter already! Don’t I just rock? More music in this chapter, but there is enough actual writing to make up for it. I promise I’m gonna try and cut down on song lyrics in my story. I know they can get annoying, but I think they give a little something to the storyline. Especially if you play the music while you read it. ANYWAY, Enjoy this fluffy chapter. Some dirty thoughts in here, just warning ya!
________________________________________
Kagome woke screaming and crying. The other two girls were right beside her and it sounded like the guys had heard cause they were banging on the door trying to get in.
“Kagome what’s wrong?” Sango asked grabbing her hand in a reassuring way. Rin got the door. Inuyasha immediately ran to Kagome’s side.
“What the fuck just happened Kagome?” Kagome put a fake smile on while chills still ran through her. “Just a bad dream.”
“That’s one hell of a freaking bad dream!” Inuyasha said angrily. Kagome cringed at his loud voice and he immediately softened.. “I’m sorry for yelling Kagome, you just scared me.” Kagome was momentarily stunned. Inuyasha had just apologized AND admitted that he was scared?
‘He must care, if even just a little bit’ Kagome thought, and finally calmed.
“Its okay Inuyasha, I’m sorry I worried anyone. I didn’t mean to.”
“Its okay Kagome” Miroku said, for once not being a pervert. “Nice pajamas.” He said with a sly grin. (Okay, so maybe I spoke too soon.) Inuyasha smacked Miroku and Kagome pulled up the blanket to hide her very thin nightgown from view.
“You guys get dressed. We’ll see you later.” Inuyasha said and pulled the other two out of the room.
“What did you dream of?” Rin asked with a worried expression on her face.
“It was nothing Rin.” Kagome answered evasively. Sango gave Kagome a disapproving look. Kagome felt horrible. In a week these girls had grown to be like sisters. She didn’t want to lie to them. At least not more then she had to. “Okay, it was bad. Horrible really.”
“You’ve had the same dream before right?” Sango asked as they dressed.
“Yeah, I used to live near here and I guess that kind of triggered them to come back.”
“Come back?” Rin asked, pulling on a pair of jeans. She wobbled dangerously for a moment, then caught herself again.
“Yeah, they go away then come back. Usually they aren’t this bad though.” Kagome slipped off her nightgown and pulled on a bright sundress. It really didn’t match her mood.
Sango and Rin shared a look and they surrounded Kagome so she couldn’t escape. “Kagome, what are the dreams about?” Sango demanded.
It was obvious they were worried and weren’t going to let it go. “I really don’t want to talk abou-”
Rin cut her off, “Kagome, we are your friends and if something is wrong we want to know so we can help.”
Sango nodded and added, “You’d do no less for us.” Kagome smiled wanly. It was true.
“It was about my dad and his death.” Okay so that wasn’t a complete lie. The girls had nothing to say and Kagome took that as her chance to get past them.
“So, anyway I wanted to ask you something Sango.” Kagome said. ‘Could you have made it any more obvious you’re changing subjects?’ her mind scolded.
“What?” Sango asked, still not sure how to breach the subject of Kagome’s father.
“Well, I was wondering if anyone ever goes in the woods.” Rin cast a panicked glance at Sango but she just ignored it.
“Inuyasha sometimes goes out there but most don’t. They think its cursed.” Kagome just laughed.
“Its not cursed, its just booby-trapped” Sango looked confused. “I did live here before. I set some of those traps myself.”
Kagome walked to the door and they followed. “So what are you guys gonna do today?”
“Well, I’m going to work.” Rin said with a smile.
“Really? Where do you work?” Kagome questioned as she opened the door to the stairwell.
“I work at the retirement home. I need to be there in like 15 minutes so I gotta go, see ya later guys!” Rin bounded down the stairs in front of them, and was gone in a flash.
Kagome looked at Sango with horror, “I’m surprised those poor old people haven’t all died of heart attacks.”
Sango laughed and they headed down to the cafeteria. “She is great with them actually. You’d be surprised”
They sat down for breakfast and were soon joined by Miroku and Inuyasha. “Where’s
Sesshomaru? Kagome asked.
“Work” Miroku said and started to eat. This was the first morning that Kagome had actually had time to eat here. She never had enough time for breakfast, and she always brought something from home for lunch, and for dinner, she usually had something she could eat while she worked, so she wondered if the food was any good.
She took a bite of her pancakes and quickly spit it back out. “Gahh! This stuff is nasty! What is it? Glue?” Kagome demanded, looking at her tray with distaste.
Inuyasha was laughing with Miroku, and Sango was grimacing. “Did you have to spit it back out? It looks nasty.” Sango said while scrunching up her nose. Kagome ignored her.
“I can’t believe you guys eat this junk.”
Inuyasha shrugged. “Its all there is, and fast food isn’t allowed on campus, so deal with it.”
Slowly a smile spread over Kagome’s face and Inuyasha’s heart sped up. Kagome’s smiles were like summer storms. They could either come quick like lightning, leaving him with shivers running up and down his spine, or they could roll in like soft thunder, (like now) slowly spreading and making Inuyasha feel like he was burning from the inside out. It was a feeling that he didn’t want to ever stop.
“Sango, how about you and me meet up later today and go to the grocery store? We have a kitchen in the room, I think its about time we use it.”
“Bu- but none of us know how to cook” Sango said, nearly choking on her orange juice.
“She’s right” Miroku said casually. “I tried to make toast once and almost burned the whole building down.”
Kagome sighed and shook her head tiredly. “Well I just happen to be a fairly good cook. I used to cook for Sota, and grandpa all the time.” Inuyasha looked at her.
She hadn’t mentioned her mother or father. His hanyou ears had heard through the walls, so he knew that her dream was about her fathers death. And Sango had said that Kagome’s mother was mean and kinda crazy, and that something had happened on Kagome’s first day but she wouldn’t elaborate on the subject. Inuyasha felt bad for Kagome and wanted to comfort her, but he knew she wouldn’t let him after the Koga incident.
‘Fuck, I’m turning into some mushy pansy. The girl is fucking up my thoughts’.
Kagome looked as if she was concentrating. “There won’t be enough room in our fridge, but if we use the guys fridge then we will have enough space. Is that okay?”
“If you cook for us too.” Miroku said with hopeful eyes.
“Of course, I was planning to anyway, silly.” Miroku blushed, and nodded his thanks. Kagome pulled out a piece of paper and started to write all the things she needed.
“Are you sure you want to do this Kagome? You really don’t need to go to the trouble.”
“Its no trouble, actually, I like doing it. Plus now that I’ve caught up on the work I missed at the beginning of the year, I’ll have plenty of time. So what are you going to do today Sango?”
“I’m gonna visit with family. I’ll be staying the night, and Rin spends the night at the retirement home, so you’ll have the room to yourself tonight since you’re staying. Are you sure you want to be alone after what happened last night?” Sango asked, putting a hand on Kagome’s arm. She didn’t want Kagome to be alone, and almost offered for the raven-haired girl to spend the night at her family’s home. She didn’t think Kagome would accept.
“Yes, Kagome, I’ll be happy to stay with you tonight.” Miroku said with a perverted twinkle in his eye. Inuyasha smashed a pile of pancakes on his head.
“Shut up you donkey fucker.” Inuyasha turned from the sticky boy to Kagome. “I’ll be staying too so if you get in trouble just yell.” Kagome smiled brightly
“Thanks Inuyasha you’re great.” Kagome said, forgetting the Koga incident for the moment.
Inuyasha had to fight a blush. ‘She thinks I’m great. If she’s so impressed by that I wonder what would happen if I. . .’ he had to smash the henti thoughts out of his head. “Yeah, whatever bitch” he responded, in his usual crass way.
Kagome flicked some pancakes at Inuyasha and they hit him squarely in the face. Still, she smiled. She had come to realize that Inuyasha didn’t mean half the nasty stuff he said, but she had to retaliate. It was the principle of the thing.
Fortunately for Inuyasha, Sango started talking to Kagome again, taking the attention off him. He took the chance to wipe his face off.
Sango saw the grin on Kagome’s face and smiled herself ‘She’s fallen for him BIG time, and she doesn’t even know it yet.’ Sango thought triumphantly.
Miroku looked at Inuyasha’s blushing face and thought ‘He wants Kagome BAD! Maybe he’ll make his move tonight’
Sango and Kagome decided that they would go shopping right after breakfast, and then Sango would go see her parents. “Hey guys, you wanna help us carry groceries?” Sango asked.
“I would love to spend more time with you, lovely Sango, but I need to go to my job. . . so bye.” then he hauled ass and got the hell out of there. Inuyasha wasn’t as lucky.
“Damn Miroku, abandoning me” he said. All the way to the store and all the way back he muttered curses and thought of different ways to brutally kill Miroku.
When they got back Sango said goodbye and Inuyasha very grudgingly agreed to help Kagome put things away. They had put some of the things away in the boys room, then moved to the girls. They didn’t talk much, but the silence wasn’t awkward, it was peaceful.
“How about some music?” Kagome asked and walked to the radio.
“Sure, whatever.” Inuyasha muttered, thinking of how to sneak a box of poptarts back into his room. Kagome turned on the radio and continued putting things away. When the commercials were over a song came on. Kagome started singing along with it without even
thinking.
Sunrise
Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Inuyasha watched, slightly amused, as Kagome danced around the little kitchenette. She put things away in an orderly fashion. He watched her hips sway in a not-so-graceful way, but he was captivated. He tried not to chuckle at the image she made.
Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone
And I said
Oooo, oooo, oooo
To you
When she sang the oooo part she looked like a dog howling to the moon. It was oddly attractive. Inuyasha dropped the box of poptarts and moved closer to Kagome, putting away cereal.
Surprise
Surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure its written all over my face
Surprise
Surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
‘Okay, that is true to life. She can’t hide her emotions from me, even if she tries, and she doesn’t often. She’s so god damned nice. I feel so corrupt compared to her’ Inuyasha thought of how he had acted yesterday and he wanted to smack himself. She seemed to have already forgiven him, and it made him feel terrible and wonderful at the same time.
Then I say
Oooo, oooo, oooo
To you
Kagome noticed Inuyasha staring. “What is it with people? Why do you always stare when I sing? Do I make funny faces or something?” Kagome asked playfully.
“Your face always looks funny” Inuyasha said, equally playful. Being around her always made him more lighthearted. She began singing again, and threw a can of soup at him. He caught it with no trouble at all.
And now the night
Will throw its cover down on me again
And if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back
Oooo, oooo, oooo
To you
The song ended and all the stuff was put away. “If you want I can make you lunch.” Kagome said nonchalantly.
‘God do I like torturing myself or what. Just being around him makes my whole body feel like jelly, but he’s a total jerk and I hate him. And here I am inviting him to have lunch in my room, ALONE, when there isn’t even anyone on the same floor. Good going Kagome. Please say no, please say no’ Kagome’s mind screamed at her.
“Okay” Inuyasha replied.
‘YAY! I mean. . . uh damn?’ Kagome was confused and Inuyasha was no better.
‘I just agreed to have lunch with her in her room, ALONE! For gods sake I have trouble not jumping her bones in public, how am I gonna be able to control myself now?’ Inuyasha thought, wondering if he could make it to the balcony and jump off before she caught him.
As Kagome bustled around making Inuyasha’s favorite food, chicken Ramen, the next song came on. As soon as the tune started Kagome recognized the song and froze for a second before continuing in her actions and trying to act normal. ‘Of all the songs, why this one? Does someone up there think this is funny or something? I hate Inuyasha. I should not feel like. . .this’ Kagome thought as she tried to distract herself with cooking. It worked, until the singing started at least.
We got the afternoon,
You got this room for two.
One thing I’ve left to do,
Discover me discovering you.
Inuyasha finally realized what song it was and was trying to decide if he should bolt or try and seduce her. Since he couldn’t decide, he chose to just sit, eat, then get out. He would have turned off the music, but being the stubborn half-demon that he was, he refused to show that the song affected him.
One mile to every inch, and,
Your skin like porcelain,
One pair of candy lips
and your bubble-gum tongue
A simple song had never affected him so much, but it wasn’t exactly the song, but more the images that the words brought up. Him slipping his hands along Kagome’s soft, milky white skin. Thrusting his tongue into her hot wet mouth. Pounding into her over and ov- ‘I have to stop this, I’m ten times worse then Miroku. Think of cold things. Icebergs, ice-cream, Kagome licking ice-cream off- NO, That’s not working. Okay, Sesshomaru in a thong’ Inuyasha shuddered, ‘at least its working. Sesshomaru in a thong, Sesshomaru in a thong, Kagome in a thong- DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!’
And if you want love
We'll make it.
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body
Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Kagome was having a hard time concentrating on making lunch. She kept wondering what it would feel like to have Inuyasha touch her. To hold her. To kiss her. To fuc- wait a minute. ‘Where the hell am I getting all these thoughts. I’m a good girl. Anyway, Inuyasha wouldn’t want to do that with me. And I don’t want to do that with him. He’s an arrogant jerk. But good Kami is he hot.’
Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind
if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Both teen’s minds were in the gutter as they sat down to eat. Inuyasha slurped noisily, and Kagome contained her giggles, barely. He looked up at her, with Ramen noodles hanging from his mouth. Kagome broke into a grin and looked back down at her food. Inuyasha gulped, almost choking on his food.
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
‘You’re telling me’ both teens thought in unison. (AN: thinking in unison, that’s SCARY)
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
When the song was over a few more played, but it did nothing to ease the tension that was
building between them. They finished lunch quickly. They stared at each other and for a minute
Inuyasha seriously considered kissing Kagome, but then it hit him. ‘She doesn’t know the real me. She doesn’t know what I am, and if she ever finds out, she’ll be disgusted’ With those thoughts ringing in his head he promptly thanked her for lunch and hightailed it out of there.
Kagome felt a little hurt at the brisk way Inuyasha left, but she didn’t let it show. She cleaned up the lunch and kept telling herself that Inuyasha was a horrible, terrible brutish, fool. It didn’t quite work.
Back in his room, Inuyasha fell onto his bed. ‘I can’t let these feelings take over, she would never want the real me’ Inuyasha thought, and was surprised by how hurt that made him.
‘I can’t fall for him. I’ll only end up hurting him. I can’t endanger him just because I’m a weak-hearted little girl. He’d never want the real me anyway.’ Kagome thought, slumping onto her bed. Both of them stayed in their beds, sulking, till the sun finally set, and the darkness of night covered the land.

They really are frustrating creatures aren’t they? Bleh, they annoy me as well, but we can’t just have them falling into bed together, now can we? *hears the readers say that they want that* Hmm. . .I’m not listening, I’m not listening! *plugs ears and hums* ANYWAY, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I might be able to get another up by tonight, or early tomorrow morning. Though, once I get to where I’m no longer editing, and I’m just writing again, the updates will become slower. Just have to warn ya! Later guys!

It was obvious they were worried and weren’t going to let it go. “I really don’t want to talk abou-”

“Well, I’m going to work.” Rin said with a smile.

You got this room for two.
One thing I’ve left to do,
Discover me discovering you.
Inuyasha finally realized what song it was and was trying to decide if he should bolt or try and seduce her. Since he couldn’t decide, he chose to just sit, eat, then get out. He would have turned off the music, but being the stubborn half-demon that he was, he refused to show that the song affected him.
One mile to every inch, and,
Your skin like porcelain,
One pair of candy lips
and your bubble-gum tongue
A simple song had never affected him so much, but it wasn’t exactly the song, but more the images that the words brought up. Him slipping his hands along Kagome’s soft, milky white skin. Thrusting his tongue into her hot wet mouth. Pounding into her over and ov- ‘I have to stop this, I’m ten times worse then Miroku. Think of cold things. Icebergs, ice-cream, Kagome licking ice-cream off- NO, That’s not working. Okay, Sesshomaru in a thong’ Inuyasha shuddered, ‘at least its working. Sesshomaru in a thong, Sesshomaru in a thong, Kagome in a thong- DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!’
And if you want love
We'll make it.
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body
Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Kagome was having a hard time concentrating on making lunch. She kept wondering what it would feel like to have Inuyasha touch her. To hold her. To kiss her. To fuc- wait a minute. ‘Where the hell am I getting all these thoughts. I’m a good girl. Anyway, Inuyasha wouldn’t want to do that with me. And I don’t want to do that with him. He’s an arrogant jerk. But good Kami is he hot.’
Something 'bout the way your hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind
if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Both teen’s minds were in the gutter as they sat down to eat. Inuyasha slurped noisily, and Kagome contained her giggles, barely. He looked up at her, with Ramen noodles hanging from his mouth. Kagome broke into a grin and looked back down at her food. Inuyasha gulped, almost choking on his food.
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
‘You’re telling me’ both teens thought in unison. (AN: thinking in unison, that’s SCARY)
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
When the song was over a few more played, but it did nothing to ease the tension that was
building between them. They finished lunch quickly. They stared at each other and for a minute
Inuyasha seriously considered kissing Kagome, but then it hit him. ‘She doesn’t know the real me. She doesn’t know what I am, and if she ever finds out, she’ll be disgusted’ With those thoughts ringing in his head he promptly thanked her for lunch and hightailed it out of there.
Kagome felt a little hurt at the brisk way Inuyasha left, but she didn’t let it show. She cleaned up the lunch and kept telling herself that Inuyasha was a horrible, terrible brutish, fool. It didn’t quite work.
Back in his room, Inuyasha fell onto his bed. ‘I can’t let these feelings take over, she would never want the real me’ Inuyasha thought, and was surprised by how hurt that made him.
‘I can’t fall for him. I’ll only end up hurting him. I can’t endanger him just because I’m a weak-hearted little girl. He’d never want the real me anyway.’ Kagome thought, slumping onto her bed. Both of them stayed in their beds, sulking, till the sun finally set, and the darkness of night covered the land.

They really are frustrating creatures aren’t they? Bleh, they annoy me as well, but we can’t just have them falling into bed together, now can we? *hears the readers say that they want that* Hmm. . .I’m not listening, I’m not listening! *plugs ears and hums* ANYWAY, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I might be able to get another up by tonight, or early tomorrow morning. Though, once I get to where I’m no longer editing, and I’m just writing again, the updates will become slower. Just have to warn ya! Later guys!
