College Life: Chapter One
Haciemon sighed as he carried the last of his boxes into his assigned dorm room. He saw that a little ways down the corridor, his roommate, Miroku was flirting with yet another girl. Haciemon (or Hachi to his friends) felt that Miroku was rubbing his skill with the ladies in not only his face, but the faces of the other guys on the floor who weren't as adept. This time he was rubbing a pretty redhead in there face, who was about six inches shorter than him and was a demon, which was clearly indicated by two lovely fangs on either row of teeth. Hachi let out another sigh as Miroku walked back over to his respective dorm room with a mile-wide grin plastered in his face. He helped Hachi with the crate and said with a giddy air "Co-ed dorms my friend. College? Hardly. I think I've gone to heaven."
"Hachi rolled his eyes. "I don't see what you're so happy about. Aren't you supposed to have a girlfriend?"
"I do have a girlfriend, but a little flirting is perfectly legal. It's all in good fun anyways." Miroku replied with confidence.
"I suppose that weekly "study session" you scheduled with that girl is all in good fun as well?" Hachi remarked.
"Actually, I used study session in a literal sense pal. Ayame and myself are taking several of the same courses, so why not?" Miroku asked.
"Despite whatever it is you may be doing in each others room, you know what everybody is going to assume." Hachi explained logically.
"Feh, like he gives a damn. I bet you'd love everybody to suspect you were banging Koga's girl, wouldn't you?" a drawling voice replied from across the hall.
Miroku saw it fitting to make introductions. "Hachi, this Inuyasha. He was a friend of mine in high school. Inuyasha, this is Hachi, he is my roommate."
"Nice to meet you Inuyasha." The tanuki raccoon greeted, holding out his paw. Inuyasha took it.
"Nice to meet you too Hachi. Here's a suggestion for you. When rooming with Miroku, make sure you always knock before entering." Inuyasha offered his sage advice.
"I'll keep that in mind." Hachi said in response.
"Come on guys! Don't I get a little more credit than that? As Hachi said, I do have a girlfriend." Miroku commented.
"Dude, as much as I hate to admit it, it wouldn't be too hard for you to hook another babe. And knowing you, you wouldn't hesitate to do it either." Inuyasha continued, always the critical one. Miroku hit him upside the head.
"You idiot. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean it's meant to be done!" Miroku protested.
"Whatever. Just be careful with Ayame. Kagome is her roommate, so Sango and Koga are bound to find out eventually. You'll be in quite a fix with both of them out for your blood." Inuyasha smirked.
"Sit boy!" Inuyasha was sent plummeting to the floorboards. Kagome stood in the doorway of her own dorm room, with a scolding look on her features. "You are officially the least tactful person on the face of the planet earth. I was going to ask you to help me bring up my possessions, but it looks like you made me 'sit' you." The hole in the floor got a couple inches deeper. Kagome acted as if she didn't notice. "Thanks for nothing rover."
"Here let Hachi and I help." Miroku offered. "We would be honored to assist such a lovely lady, wouldn't we friend?" Hachi nodded in agreement.
"You know, Inuyasha is right. You wouldn't have any trouble 'hooking another babe' as he so eloquently put it. Thanks." Kagome said gratefully.
A little way across campus Sango was moving into her dorm as well. She was a little disappointed that all her friends were in another dorm, but it wasn't like anyone was making her live in this room. She was assigned a bed in this building, and she'd only be sleeping in here half the time at most, considering Miroku lived not 100 meters away. Sango smiled at the thought. Her train of thought however was interrupted by a knock at the door. She answered it to find a girl with long black hair that reached down to her waist and friendly brown eyes. "Hello." the girl greeted her. "My name is Tsuyu. I guess you are my roommate."
"Sango. Nice to meet you." Sango said cordially, shaking the girl's hand. "I love to stick around and chat, but I gotta go meet some of my friends. Were going out tonight, you know, to commemorate our last day of freedom. Say, why don't you come with?" Sango asked. "They might be around kind of often, so its best you learn to put up with them." Tsuyu laughed at Sango's "joke" blissfully unaware that she was dead serious.
"Sure. Where are you guys going?"
"There's a pretty cool quazi-bar on campus. It has the three essential 'b's'." Sango explained. "Bands, billiards, and booze."
"Sounds good." Tsuyu admitted, setting down her bag. Just help me get in some of my stuff." Sango agreed to help.
"So where is this place?" Tsuyu asked.
"Only about a five minute walk." Sango replied.
"So tell me about your friends. What are they like?"
"They're a group of characters all right. To start off there is Miroku. He is about six feet tall, has short black hair and indigo eyes. He's quite the charmer, but also rather perverted. And just incase, don't get any ideas. He's taken."
"By whom?" Tsuyu wondered out loud.
"Me, sadly." Sango confessed. "Inuyasha is also a colorful fellow. He has long silver hair and dog ears. He is also very irritable and has the manners of a child, so try not to get offended. He is a half-dog demon. Kagome is his girlfriend. She is very beautiful and kind. You'll like her no problem. Lastly is Koga. He is a wolf-demon. He also often quarrels with Inuyasha. Otherwise he's a nice guy. You'll like them." Sango finished as she brought in the last of Tsuyu's stuff.
"I'm sure I will." The two headed off for what was their rendezvous point with 'the group'.
