QUESTION REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT!

Okay guys. I know your probably thinking WHY ISNT SHE UPDATING! And I have a reason. It takes a long time to update these chapters. And here is my question. Would you like me to update faster (i.e. Friday, Saturday, Sunday) but shorter chapters (i.e. Seven or six pages) or would you like me to update once every two weeks but long chapters (i.e. sixteen to seventeen pages)? Answer in a review or email. Please answer. REALLY IMPORTANT!!!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ooooo ooooooooooooooooooooO

Last time on The Roommate

 

I watched as he left the room and bolted towards my dressing room. Tears were dripping down my cheeks, as I knew that I couldn't have him. And I realized that I just poured out everything my heart keeps locked behind the bolted door, out. I fell to my knees and sighed. I had no more tears left in me to cry.

 

This time on The Roommate

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-The Next day-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

Maybe it was the sound of glass falling that scared me awake. But I felt that the second I heard that sound. I was dead. I pushed the blanket down from my body and folded them neatly at the bottom of my bed. I guess you could say I was procrastinating. I shrugged into my bathrobe and slipped into my slippers before grabbing my old softball bat and stepping out into the hallway. I crept into the kitchen and examined the cracked window. I shivered in my slippers and turned the corner before I was grabbed hastily.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-The night before-ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooO

 

I yawned sullenly as my eyes were being lulled towards my bed. I yawned once again and continued on my paper. I tapped my pencil on my chin. I guess it was about time I did some of my homework. Inuyasha was repeatedly bothering me and I needed to get my mind off of that play. I continued to fiddle with my five-page report on Edger Allen Poe. I crossed my legs the opposite way in my short skirt. But it was practically the only comfortable thing I owned, along with my pink Sham shirt. I scratched my head attentively as I continued to scribble down information from my book on both pages. Sango had to visit Kohaku today so I took it upon myself to write her report also. I mean, she has done so much for me. Why not repay her?

 

“What a bunch of bull.” I mumbled whilst I stretched my raw and aching back muscles. I could hear the Television playing on full blast from the living room. I sighed and continued to scribble as I dabbed my tongue on my thumb and flipped through the pages as I scanned the information. I continued to write by the small light, only taking pit stops for a small sip of my Pepsi that was near my elbow. I looked up from my papers to see the time. It appeared fuzzy due to the amount of time I was staring at the words (that were now imprinted in my mind). It was around four thirty. Four hours of binge working. I sighed and took another sip of Pepsi before I returned to my work. Edger Allen Poe was the original creator of- the tip of my pencil cracked before I was able to progress any further. I sighed and threw it across the room bitterly. I could practically feel the bags below my eyes, the warmth of my bed was caressing me at the moment, and Inuyasha's snores were echoing off the walls. I sort of growled and rustled through the drawers of my desk to find a decent pencil. Three growls and four drawers later, I was happily writing my reports once again. I was now on the fourth page and counting. I yawned and pushed aside the reports. I needed something to burn off some energy with. I looked around the desk for a clear piece of paper. I reached for a piece that was only partly stained. I took my pencil to the clearest area and began to let the words flow out of my utensil. (Sara: I swear. This is the last chapter with these song thingies [Disclaimer] this is Ayumi Hamasaki's `Fly high'. I did not mention anywhere that this song was mine. Cross my heart and all that other crap. And if you don't feel the need. Don't read the song. Just keep scrolling down :SMILE:)

 

Scars left behind from the distant past cause me pain again.

I hid my shaking heart and replaced it with a smile.

No matter how many times it happens,

I am still a coward.

I think of nothing but showing my strength.

 

I dropped my pencil and quickly flipped the paper over and smiled a bit, trying to bring a happier mood.

 

What I get?

What you get?

It may be an illusion

And we may only want to believe

That we have got

 

What I say?

What you say?

If we don't express

Our thoughts and feelings in words

They may not be understood nor reach

 

The present time

Starts here

 

A woman never runs away

A woman never hides away

In order to survive

You should not want to be healed

Without fighting

 

I smiled at the words I wrote, already feeling my lifting mood. I continued to write in a hurry.

 

A woman never shows her fears

A woman never shows her tears

In order to survive

You should not easily

Show your tears to someone

 

What I need?

What you need?

Maybe it's all right

So long as I have desires

And am not satisfied

 

What I lose?

What you lose?

Maybe I have heard enough people saying

That they knew the value of something

Only after losing it

 

Love

It's here

 

A woman could be dangerous

A woman could be generous

In order to survive

We cannot always be

So good girls

 

A woman could be having fun

A woman could be like a nun

In order to survive

We cannot be kind to others

Before we know pain

 

A woman could be having fun

A woman could be like a nun

In order to survive

As I know

You see the real me

 

I crossed out the last line before I creased the paper and slid it into my pocket, continuing the projects.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-The Morning-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

I quickly got the mug of coffee and sat at the table, clad in my uniform. I skimmed through the last pages of the Edger Allen Poe book. I decided to schedule morning classes so I will have enough time to call my parents about Thanksgiving (Sara: Yes it was in fall and near November. So now its like October or something…yea…) and maybe get Inuyasha to pitch in. I took another light sip before I heard footsteps entering the kitchen. I looked up to see a mopey Inuyasha. He had deep bags underneath his eyes and looked very worn out. I looked at him and couldn't help the look of worry that skimmed my eyes.

 

“Are you alright Inuyasha?” I asked hesitantly. He looked at me.

 

“I'm fine.” He bit out. The hanyou walked towards the chair opposite me. He grasped to top firmly and sat. I rolled my eyes at him.

 

“You look like you were up all night practicing masochism.” I mumbled. He looked up at me as if I was crazy.

 

“Your one to talk little Miss I'm-gonna-flirt-with-somebody-I-don't-know-in-the-middle-of-the-hallway-eve n-though-I-know-he-is-apart-of-the-Wolf-Den-Gang” Inuyasha said dryly. I made a face.

 

“I had no pleasure from him banging into me.” Inuyasha coughed and I wanted to recall what I said. “You suck.” I stood from the table and walked to the couch, book in hand. I began to read, despite Inuyasha's continuous rants about what I really did that night.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-At School-ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooO

 

I walked down through the school after my first Stage building class. I had about twenty minutes to myself. I walked down the steps of Najidensoko towards the cafeteria. I decided to get something to eat since I still had a few hours at school. I skimmed down the stairs and into the cafeteria. I walked towards the plate of cheesecake, snatched a piece, and went on to get a blueberry bagel. I also grasped an orange from the fruit bowl and paid for my tray before sitting down. But I froze. Inuyasha Takeimo was sitting at a table in the back corner. My legs began to work automatically as I found myself heading towards his table. He looked up at me and turned his chair around from the table it was focused at. I looked over and saw the table was empty and a chair pushed out. He most likely walked away. I sat down with Inuyasha.

 

“What are you doing here Inu-” He cut me off before saying, “Shh!” I blinked once. Twice.

 

“What?” I asked as I looked at him. He rolled his eyes.

 

“Don't talk to me.” He snapped. I blinked once again.

 

“I was just trying to ask what you were doing here…” I mumbled as I began to eat my bagel. He slapped it out of my hand.

 

“Find a new table.” He ordered. I glared at him.

 

“This is my table.” I said, equally as stingy.

 

“Is your name in it?”

 

“Actually…” I pointed to the underside of the table where Kagome, Eri, Ayumi, and some other girl's name were listed. Inuyasha slammed his hands on the table.

 

“I'm on a goddamn mission bitch so get the hell up!” He snapped. I looked at him and lifted my tray.

 

“Jackass.” I mumbled as I left to another table with some girl with a bun. I looked at him to see if he was watching me but his attention was turned away to some table that held a man with long black hair…

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Inuyasha POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

What's her problem?

 

Oh well. No time to dwell on that. I turn my attention to Naraku.

 

What are you hiding?

How are you here?

Why did they let you out?

 

Naraku turned towards me. He smirked deeply and left the room. I followed him. I don't think Naraku noticed me behind him. He trailed himself over to the corner of a hallway. No students were around. I hid near a locker as I saw him flip out his cell phone.

 

“Yes. I spotted him a few days ago. It seems that he still recognizes me and that stupid dog of his is out of the picture. We will start tonight.” I didn't hear him flip his cell phone shut but I soon heard footsteps coming near me. I did the first thing that anybody would do (well, other than Kagome); I jumped into a locker and slowly shut the door so it was soundless. I watched as he walked passed the locker I was concealed in. After I heard his footsteps seize, I attempted to open the locker door. It was stuck. Ah the bliss.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Kagome POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

Inuyasha didn't return anytime soon and I began to think he ran home crying. I sighed, now done my lunch, and carried my books over to my next class.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ooooo ooooooooooooooooooooO

 

I slugged myself up onto the bus and sat in the back.

 

“School is a pain in the ass.” I mumbled as I pulled a piece of stationary from my book bag and a ballpoint pen. I decided to write to my grandfather. He's deaf so he probably won't get my phone call. And I had a long ride home so I should just enjoy it…right. I wrote in my neat manuscript, Dear Grandpa, and froze. I haven't really written to Grandpa for numerous reasons. First of all, he forgets to check his mailbox. Second of all, every time he came over my house, he attempted to purify Kikyou (even though I bet she needed help), I live with a hanyou (major ofuda alert), and he is on my mother/Aunt Yura's side of the family. We could never really share the same laugh since I ran away and I always fear he will visit Yura and tell her where I live with vivid instructions. I shook my head and continued.

 

You probably don't know this but Thanksgiving is coming up soon. As it is my turn this year, I am having a big family get together. I think it will be a lot of fun. Maybe you will want to come and say `hi' to mom. I know you two didn't meet in a while. Kikyou is gone so I guess that will make you happy. And you can see my new roommate. His name is

 

I thought about putting his name. Grandpa really goes deep into those. I mean he despised Kikyou because he said he was allergic to Chinese bellflowers (Sara: Yes that is what Kikyou means. Lol!).

 

Ahsayuni. But he is extremely self-conscious about his name so try to keep the taunting to a minimum. Wait, did I say he? I meant she. But she is

 

I thought.

 

-gay so I sometimes forget. Anyway, I already called the rest of the family so they will all be here. I hope you can make you too. You remember my apartment number right?

I hope to see you there!
Kagome

 

I sighed and folded the note. Pure bliss.

 

Oooooo ooooooooooooo< /i>ooooooo-Inuyasha POV-ooooooo< /i>ooooooooooooo< /i>oooooO

 

I slammed into the locker once more and the hinge finally broke free. I took a deep breath of the open-spaced environment. The school was very dark and twilight was beginning to appear outside. I stood and began to clear my clothes. I had to hurry home…

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Kagome POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

(Not to much Yasha eh?)

 

I leaned on the table. So far, zero people picked up the phone, I mailed out five letters, seven people are on vacation, four are evicted, and I had the wrong number for two of them. So I settled on writing letters to every one of the family members.

 

Hope you can make it Jankotsu!

There is certainly no party without you they're making everybody laugh. And who's going to do my hair and tell me if it makes my ass look fat? And don't forget, Ahsayuni will be delighted to meet you. He will be delighted for you to mess with his hair! And I heard your single :wink:

See you soon Jankotsu!
Kagome

 

I finished my letter and creased it. I wrote S.W.A.K and a small `Ahsayuni' really small next to it. I checked Jankotsu's name off of the list and looked at the last one. Aunt Yura. No matter how much I tried to procrastinate, I still needed to talk to her sooner or later. No matter how bad she treated me, she still took me in. And the best part was, Grandpa gave her my screen name a last year, before I blocked her. I sighed and eased my way into the chair. I took in deep breaths and unblocked her.

 

Hello Yura…

 

I typed in hesitantly. I waited a moment. Two. I finally doubted she was on when,

 

Kagome?

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Inuyasha POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

I walked as fast as I could from Najidensoko. I didn't have enough money for that damnable bus so now I had to walk. I sighed and looked at my watch. They would come anytime in the night so I had to be ready.

 

What are you planning Naraku?

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Kagome POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

I gaped like a fish at the screen. I quickly typed,

 

Yura? You're there?

 

(Sara: I'm just going to put it as a list)

 

Yura: Wow Kagome. You're still alive?

 

I stared at the words she put dryly. Then I furiously typed,

 

Me: I'm lucky right? Didn't end with the same fate as my parents' ne?

Me: I mean, according to your teachings, I was only to live about four years more without getting shot, or dying from complicated pregnancy. I was that type of slut huh?

 

There was silence from the other side of the keyboard and I almost regretted what I said. Almost.

 

Yura: Did I really say that?

Me: Of course. And tons of other things.

Me: Bitch

Me: Whore

Me: Slut

Me: Orphan

Yura: I get it okay…

 

There was silence on the screen as I read what she was putting. What was so different?

 

Yura: So how have you been doing? I haven't heard from you in five years…

Me: Six.

Yura: Oh…

 

I almost forgot what I wanted to tell her. Almost.

 

Me: Are you doing anything for Thanksgiving?

Yura: Why?

Me: I'm having a little family get together. And since you are my Aunt and everything…

Yura: Kagome, I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry. I wish I could see you at this moment. You must be a really beautiful girl. You did look a lot like your mother and everything. Had the same warm smile and everything…

Me: Your point?

Yura: I feel as if I scarred you for life

Me: Where ever did you get that idea?

Yura: C'mon Kagome. Lets put this all behind us.

 

Silence.

 

Yura: Please?

Yura: I remember when you used to bring your friends over. They really used to be quite scary kids. You'd wear those Tripp pants and your long baggy shirts. You didn't really enjoy talking to people much…

 

I just watched as she had a once sided conversation. I was already to stressed and tired and I just wanted to see what she had to say.

 

I feel as if I'd done that to you. And I still feel the pain in my heart. But the problem was, I didn't care. My sister was killed in that car crash just to pick up you. And in my mind, that made me see you as Satan. And I just wanted you out of my life so I could mourn myself. I didn't care about all of the pain I inflicted on you. I just wanted my sister.

Yura: And when you ran away, I woke up and realized, you were the only piece of my sister I had left. And I missed you to death. You probably thought when you came back; I was going to beat the shit out of you. But I just wanted you to fill the hole in my heart. And when that kind man, Hiten I think it was, called the police, my heart did summersaults. I thought I was going to finally see you.

Yura: And then we arrived and Hiten said that you already ran out. We attempted to follow your footsteps. But you were a genius. You walked in the street a bit so we lost your trail.

Yura: I'd love to go to your Thanksgiving party. I will ask my father for the directions.

Yura: I love you Kagome Keiko Higurashi (Sara: Don't know if I put a middle name. If I did then whoops)

Yura-of-the-hair-05 signed off

 

I stared at the blank screen before I left to take a shower.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-??? POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

“Is it all set Yura?” The mysterious voice asked.

 

“Yes… I told her I would meet her at the Thanksgiving party. I already asked my dad about the directions.” Yura told the man the directions.

 

“Alright Yura. Your job is done…” The person slammed their cell phone shut, shrugged on a coat, and opened the door, allowing the brisk, cold air to wash in.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo-Kagome POV-oooooooooooooooooooooooooO

 

I lay in bed, smelling thickly of rosemary. I heard Inuyasha open the door. Before I could rise to say anything to him, his room door opened and slammed shut. I shrugged and was lulled to sleep by the ghastly sound of the tree branches slapping against the windowpane.

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ooooo ooooooooooooooooooooO

 

(Insert part from beginning)

 

Maybe it was the sound of glass falling that scared me awake. But I felt that the second I heard that sound. I was dead. I pushed the blanket down from my body and folded them neatly at the bottom of my bed. I guess you could say I was procrastinating. I shrugged into my bathrobe and slipped into my slippers before grabbing my old softball bat and stepping out into the hallway. I crept into the kitchen and examined the cracked window. I shivered in my slippers and turned the corner before I was grabbed hastily.

 

I felt the arms encircle me tightly and I felt as if I couldn't breath. I choked a scream.

 

“Inuyasha!” I cried as the person covered my mouth.

 

“You scream again, I will kill you you disobedient wench.” The voice tickled my ear as I felt the ice-cold blade against my neck. I squealed before I heard my other window break. Use the door dumbass; I thought as the person hesitated as Inuyasha's door opened.

 

“What is it we-” He surveyed the room and looked through the was-window at me. Then he looked at the one holding me.

 

“Let her go Naraku!” Inuyasha shouted. I think I must have stiffened because Naraku chucked.

 

Mr. B-Baka?” I stuttered before he lifted me into the night.

 

Oooooo ooooooooooooo< /i>ooooooo0oooooo ooooooooooooo< /i>ooooooO

 

I closed my eyes tightly as I felt the ropes already causing welts in my skin. I heard footsteps decreasing before I opened my eyes. I was in a dark room and there was a foggy window that was barely audible to the outside word. I heard a thick and raspy voice talking to Naraku. It still had a feminine tone to it. I strained to hear what they were saying but I couldn't hear a thing they were saying. All I knew was that I needed to break free. I must have sat for hours on end because I soon saw the sun beginning to peak over the horizon. I looked at the red rings around my writs and wrenched them away from my body. I squeaked from the pain but continued to pull. I felt the rope sag and I quickly bolted out of the room I was incased in. I stumbled into the forest. Then I suddenly felt arms incase around me once again.

 

“Gotcha.”

 

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo0ooooo ooooooooooooooooooooO

 

Sara: THE END! I was about to put the last chapter preview in this one but then I decided that I needed a cliffy. So that will be in the next chapter. Oh and I want to know

 

Really IMPORTATANT!

 

I don't know if I put it up here but I was searching for that chapter preview

 

"What do you mean?!?" Inuyasha snapped dangerously but I stood my ground.

 "I'm saying that Snuggles wasn't really your dog. That the Snuggles you knew was just a fake? And maybe it didn't even matter that he was flattened to hell and back by that truck?" I snapped back.

 "Don't you dare bring that up." He pressed me against the wall. I watched as his eyes flashed red. "Or I will kill you." I closed my eyes.

"Then I guess you will have to kill me."

 

I found it on media miner but I can't find it here. If you know what chapter that is, can you tell me because that is going to be NEXT OR TWO chapters away.

 

 

And to the Betas

 

You can do next chapter okay?
