Hey there everyone! Sorry I deleted The Ocean's War. I have major writers block and if I would have kept trying to write it wouldn't have been the wonderful. So here's a new story. I hope you enjoy it. Sorry if the first chapter seems rushed.
Chapter 1-Moving In & Meeting Him
Today was the day! Today would be the day Kagome would finally get to see the campus, where she would be attending college. Not taking a break from school Kagome was only 18. Her soft brown eyes help excitement as she drove away from home and was almost to her destination, college. Her hair was blowing in the wind since she put her window down to feel the soft air and to smell the scent of someplace other than her home town.
The city came into view and soon she was parked in the little parking area for the apartment building that she would be renting with a girl she had never met, whose grandfather was friends with Kagome's. Her name was Sango, and they would be living together for the next few years.
The building was only two blocks away from the giant college campus. It was made of dark red brick and there were shudders on the windows and according to her Grandfather, the apartment was on the second floor.
Kagome made her way up the front stoop steps and into the lobby of the building. The place looked like a hotel and there was even a front desk.
"Hello," he old man at the counter said, his bug bushy eyebrows and mustache making him look like he was from the far west.
"Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi," Kagome said "I'm a new tenant here. Apartment 204. I have the keys…"
"Oh! Go on up. We just built this apartment complex so we got a wonderful budget. Elevators are included." the old man said smiling again.
"Thank you," Kagome made her way into the elevator with her first bag that held most of her cloths.
When she reached the second floor she was a little surprised to see people buzzing around the halls. The walls were a cute light blue color with painting of beaches hanging on them.
As she made her way past some people on of the boys standing in the archway of a door caught her eye. He had long silver hair that went down to his waist, and golden colored eyes that reminded her of the ocean as dusk. He was looking right at her now. He had a hat on, with some blue swim trunks and a white wife beater.
"Hey," he said smiling. His voice was rough but smooth and it sent chills up Kagome's spine.
"Hello," Kagome said shyly now in front of her door. His apartment was right across from hers. She opened the door and slid inside before she could hear what he was about to say.
The apartment was huge. Kagome found herself standing in the living room that was brightly colored. The walls were a soft bright green and the wood floors brought out the cute pink rug that laid under the dark wood coffee table and the red couch, blue arm chair, and poke-a-dot recliner. There was girl with long dark brown hair sitting on the couch some tissues in her hand and she was crying.
"Sango?" Kagome asked putting her bag down and walking over to stand before the girl.
"Oh, hi Kagome," Sango shook Kagome's hand and smiled "it is very nice to meet you. I was just watching A Walk to Remember. It makes me cry every time." Sango said pointing to the screen which was cross from the couch. Kagome smiled.
"It does that to me too." Kagome and Sango giggled and then Sango stood up.
"It's time to start the tour." Sango said.
Sango showed Kagome the beautiful kitchen that has a bay window and balcony that facing out towards the street which happens to be full of awesome restaurants, and the college kids haven. The kitchen was painted blue with flowers painted free hand on one wall. It was a cooks kitchen for sure, complete with a chefs storage, organized set up. The kitchen table was bright red with a vase of blue flowers in the middle.
Sango showed Kagome the huge bathroom that had a shower and a jet tube, so that could shower at the same time.
"Now, your room is undecorated. I only did all this because my Grandpa told me that your Grandpa told him your style. But if you don't like something we can change it." Sango said.
"No, you got it all to a T. I love it." Kagome said smiling as Sango opened up the door to the white walled room that would be hers. There was already a mattress, built in desk, built in shelves, and a big window that let light pour into the room. It just needed Kagome's personal touch and it would rock.
"Well, here it is."
"I love it, but I will have to run to the hardware store to get some paint. Is there one nearby?" Kagome asked setting her bag down on her bed.
"Yeah we can go there after we bring in all your stuff." Sango said as she and Kagome headed out to get the rest of Kagome's stuff.
---------------- ----------- -------------- ----------- ----------------- -----------
After an hour the girls had brought in all of Kagome's bags and were getting ready to go to Mari's the hardware store around the corner, when there was a knock at the door.
"Hello?" Kagome heard Sango ask. Kagome was changing into a pair of short blue jean shorts and a yellow tank top, since it was summer it was hot. She put her hair in a braid as well. The Sango came into the bathroom just as she was walking out. "There's a guy at the door asking for you."
"For me?" Kagome asked puzzled. Sango nodded and walked to her room to get ready.
Kagome made her way to the door only to see the guy from before. She knew before he must be a demon from his hair but she was certain now because of the cute fuzzy white ears that sat atop his head.
"Hey," he said smiling.
"Um, hi? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked leaning against the doorway as he stood in the hall holding his hat in his hands.
"I wanted to ask you your name earlier but you took off pretty fast, I'm guess you were in track." he said smiling right at her, more direct that is.
"Well, yeah actually I was." Kagome said arching an eyebrow.
"My name is Inuyasha by the way." Inuyasha said holding his hand out.
"Kagome," Kagome said shaking his hand. They stood there for more than needed just shaking hands. Till finally Sango appeared.
"You guys take a very long time to chat." Sango said laughing as she slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Oh sorry," Inuyasha said finally letting go. "Are you two going to the part tonight?"
"I'm not, I'm spending my evening watching chick flicks." Sango said rolling her eyes at the stupid question.
"I'm not either. I'll probably be painting my room. Thank you for asking." Kagome said seeing the disappointment in Inuyasha's eyes. "Maybe another time."
"Yeah, well it was nice meeting you Kagome, and see you guys at school." Inuyasha said smiling, putting his hat back on and walking down the hall, not back to his apartment across the hall.
"So how do you know Inuyasha?" Sango asked smiling at Kagome as they waited for the elevator to hit the first floor.
"We caught each others gaze just before I got into the apartment." Kagome said smiling.
"Yeah, he's filthy rich, has a nice body, usually is very rude, and has a very perverted friend that lives with him." Sango said as they walked through the lobby and outside, climbing into Sango's blue Volkswagen Beetle Bug.
"What?" Kagome asked.
"He had a perverted friend,"
"No the part before that."
"Oh, he is usually very rude. Send people glares, tries to trick them. He's a total jackass to a lot of people. Mostly guys, but he's been known to use women." Sango said as they turned the corner and got out of the car.
"Really, well I guess I shouldn't go after him then. I thought he was hot." Kagome said making her and Sango laugh. Then they entered the store.
After about two hours Kagome finally figured out the style for her room. She picked a soft yellow, soft blue, soft green, soft rustic red, and a soft purple. She was going to do the whole room in the yellow color and then paint flowers on the walls with the others. She also bought some curtains that had little stars with smiley faces on them and a closet little box set thing for her shoes.
Latter that night Kagome finished her room. The window was open because of the smell and since Kagome had a little mini balcony, which means she could crawl out the window onto her balcony and the balcony its self was smaller than the one for the kitchen, she was standing outside looking at the setting sun in to the west when something down the street caught her eye.
It was Inuyasha, he had his arms around two girls necks. The girl to his left was blonde with green eyes and she was wearing a really short skirt and a tight tank top. The girl to his right had black hair, brown eyes and was wearing a dress that only went to mid-thigh.
Kagome's eyes widened as she watched Inuyasha make out with each girl and her face turned to a scowl. She wished suddenly that she had never given him her name.
"Kagome. The room looks fabulous." Sango said sitting on Kagome's bed which is now covered in a rustic yellow and blue comforter with a rustic flower and bow pattern, with matching pillows.
"Thanks, I like it." Kagome said crawling though the window to sit next to Sango, and to get away from the image of the approaching Inuyasha.
"What's wrong?" Sango asked seeing the look on Kagome's face.
"Nothing, but I think you were right about Inuyasha using women. I just saw him with two girls and he was making out with them and I bet he doesn't even know their names." Kagome said crossing her arms.
"I told you. Him and Miroku are total players. They bring home a different girl every night and have their way with them. Miroku's been trying to get in my pants since I moved in, he'll probably do the same with you once he sees you. And the fact that Inuyasha took an interest in you is a compliment don't get me wrong. I just don't want my roommate getting hurt ok." Sango said smiling at Kagome and placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Sango, I wont go getting my heart broken by that fool. But how about we go to that party? I mean, I could use a little fun. And I really cant stand the smell of paint any longer. How about we celebrate our first night at as roommates." Kagome said standing up and dragging Sango with her.
"Do you even know where this party is?" Sango asked as they entered the hallway to see Miroku walking out the door as well. His hair was combed back as usual and the ends were in a small ponytail of black hair, his dark blue eyes glazed over with thought.
"Hello ladies! Sango, my dear don't you look lovely." Miroku said when he spotted them.
"Hi," Sango said un enthusiastically.
"Hello," Kagome said smiling brightly.
"Well hello, and your name would be something wonderful since you are so beautiful." Miroku said taking Kagome's hand and kissing it.
"Her name is Kagome," a rough voice said from behind them. All three turn in confusion to see Inuyasha, alone.
"Kagome, what a beautiful name." Miroku said kissing her hand again and then releasing her hand, and then grabbing Sango's like if they were a couple.
"Get away from me you pervert!" Sango yelled pulling her hand away and pushing Miroku against the wall. "Don't touch me! Ever!"
"Ouch, ok, ok." Miroku said falling to the floor and then standing up again.
"Well, player, where did your two whores go?" Kagome asked Inuyasha crossing her arms in disgusted while the other two argued about Miroku being a pervert.
"what are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked crossing his arms as well.
"Oh, what are you drunk? Too much partying." Kagome said poking Inuyasha's chest.
"As a matter of fact I am a little drunk!" Inuyasha yelled hitting the wall.
"Wow, Inuyasha lets go." Miroku said grabbing Inuyasha's arm and dragging him into the apartment coming out a moment later. "I'm very sorry girls. My good friend has had a little too much to drink. Hope this wont effect the future. I bid you a wonderful evening." Miroku said before finally closing the door.
"I'll take the paint smell," Kagome said making her and Sango laugh as they went back into their apartment to endure the paint smell and to watch movie.
---------------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------------
"Inuyasha, what is wrong with you?" Miroku asked once he closed the door for good, and after watching the girls through the peep-whole to see them go back inside.
"That stupid Kagome Girl!" Inuyasha yelled throwing himself on their comfy leather couch.
"Why? Because she happens to be very attractive, obviously smart, lives right across the hall, and you've fallen head over heels for once in your life and your afraid?" Miroku questioned angrily as his best friend just might have ruined his future.
"You have no right to talk! You a lecher, who hits on anything that's female and moves." Inuyasha yelled back turning on the TV.
"True, but your not me Inuyasha! Kagome obviously liked you before you went and punched the wall. And you had two whores hanging on you and you just ditched them?" Miroku asked.
"One: I liked Kagome as well and two: the reason I ditched them before coming home is because I saw Kagome looking at me from her balcony and she looked upset, and since I was interested in her I felt bad." Inuyasha said unable to find something good to watch so he shut off the TV.
"Inuyasha, Monday is school. That's two days away. I'm going to tell you what you need to do. You need to find out Kagome's schedule, get a job where she gets a job, which I know she'll try to find one tomorrow, and finally say sorry." Miroku said before walking off to his room past the kitchen.
"Stupid Fool! Like I'll really take his advice." Inuyasha said crossing his arms and grunting. But after awhile he gave in and stood up and walked to the door. He would do what the lecher told him. But he'd do it backwards. So first he would say sorry.
Inuyasha walked out the door and two steps to stand in front of the door. He rang the doorbell and with his good hearing he could hear the personalized jingle it went something like 'Ching-Chang, Ching-Chang' which made him smile. He could hear small feet patter across the wood floor and come to stand in front of the door. That's when he noticed the scent. It was Kagome who was going to answer the door. The three times he had been near her he hadn't really noticed because her looks were too distracting, but now that he couldn't see her, he could only smell her. She smelled like the sea, the salty sweet smell that he hadn't smelled for years, along with that scent she also smelled of spice, which made his blood boil with calmness and desire.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said surprised "what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hit the wall, or yelled." Inuyasha said in a bit of a whisper.
"It's ok Inuyasha, it was a little scary, but I forgive you. And I hope we can because better friends." Kagome said about to close the door but Inuyasha held his hand out to stop it from closing.
"You promise?"
"Promise," Kagome said smiling at him to insure her meaning. "Goodnight Inuyasha, sweet dreams." Kagome said.
"Good night, Kagome." Inuyasha said walking the two steps back to his apartment and closing the door. He looked out the peep-whole to see Kagome smile softly and then finally close the door.
Inuyasha turned around only to see Miroku standing there in his boxers with a bog smile on his face.
"Told you, you loved her!" Miroku said laughing.
"Geez! Could you be anymore creepy?" Inuyasha asked walking to his room and closing the door.
Tomorrow he would stalk Kagome, a little, to find out where she would work.
