Hello my kind readers! This is my very first story, so I hope I didn't make too many stupid mistakes. If I did, please tell me! This is a college AU story, since I'm a college student myself. I'm currently in my first year and I was looking for something to do in my spare time beside watching many series on the Internet. (If you want any recommendations, you may always sent me a message.)
I wanted to do something productive beside watching those series. I'm really fond of other people's stories on this website, so I decided to write my own. Some things I write are real life experiences but some are just my purest imagination. I'm always open to suggestions and comments!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha
'Well, I guess this is it', Kagome thought. She had finally said goodbye to her mom, grandfather and to Souta and they had left only a few minutes prior. Of course, their parting didn't go without tears. They wouldn't be seeing each other for the next five days, when the weekend would start again. They'd helped her with making her room cosy and well-furnished. She would be living there for at least one year, after all. They went to the nearest furnishing shop and had bought her a mattress, desk and wardrobe. The other necessaries were already in the room.
Kagome had always loved her family dearly. But as the saying goes, you'll only remember how much you love someone until they're gone. It actually felt like that. She was all alone now, for the very first time. Of course she had been separated from her family before, but that was a different matter. She had never gone with the idea of never living at "home" again. What was her home now? This newly furnished room or the place where her mother, grandfather and Souta were currently driving back to? Kagome's mind knew that the answer was the first mentioned, but her heart told her differently.
She hoped that she would eventually get used to this new feeling of home sickness. Fortunately for her, she wasn't entirely on her own. She had housemates after all. One of them she knew very well. It was Sango, her best friend since forever. They had decided to move together from their hometown to the big city to study. Kagome had chosen veterinary medicine, since she had always loved nature and animals dearly. She was also very interested in everything medicine had to offer, like the anatomy of animals and the treatment of illnesses.
Sango wasn't really a "science-kind-of-person" as she liked to call it. She had chosen Sports and Physical Education since she was very fond of all kinds of sports. Especially the martial arts. She always forces Kagome to join her for a run. Kagome always had great difficulty with keeping up with her, but she was getting better at it. And that became clearer at her physical appearance too, as they now both had well-shaped bodies.
But who could be her new housemates? She knew they were two boys, but she hadn't met them yet. They had lived in the house for at least one year because Kagome knew that Sango and her were the only new residents in the house. She hoped that they weren't too loud. She wouldn't even be able to study!
'Why don't I pay them a visit?' she thought. Sango had the room in the attic and she and one other boy both had one room on the first floor. There was another room, which was a bathroom with a shower and a toilet and a sink. On the ground floor was the living room, kitchen, another boy's room and another toilet. They even had a little garden with four chairs and a table. What a luxury!
She started with knocking on the boy's door on the first floor, across from her room. "Hello? Anybody there?" she said. She didn't get any answer. The boy on the ground floor didn't answer either. 'They must be out, what a pity' she thought. Then she heard the front door being opened. She still was on the ground floor, so she went to the hall where the front door was located. She saw Sango heading in.
The house boss had already given them their own keys when they signed the contract a week earlier, so they didn't have to use the doorbell. "Sango!" she screamed while she ran towards her friend with opened arms. Sango dropped her things. "Kagome!" Sango screamed in return and embraced Kagome. They were both laughing. Sango had already moved in the day before, so she just had some groceries with her. Kagome's family had given her groceries to bring with her, so she didn't have to go into town yet.
"Show me your room! I'm really curious!" Kagome said. After they both had showed each other both rooms, they decided to hang in the living room. It was a Sunday, so their semester would officially start the next day.
"How are our housemates?" Kagome asked Sango. While Sango was bringing their drinks from the kitchen, she drew a difficult face. "oh, oh, that bad?" Kagome said. "Well… I guess they aren't really bad, but there is one boy who's kind of a lecher." "How come?" "When I first met him, he shook not only my hand but also groped my butt!" "What?" Kagome said with disbelief. "Yeah! My parents were there with me and they also saw it! It was really embarrassing! But I showed him my moves and knocked him down really hard, so it's fine now." Sango said. Kagome started to laugh. "What about the other guy? Is he a lecher too?" "No, but he was really a weirdo. When I said hi he just stared at me, looked me over, grumbled and went upstairs!" "Wow that's strange indeed! Well, he will certainly give us some space won't he?" "Unlike the other boy" Sango murmured.
They chit-chatted for a while and when it was around 4 p.m. they heard the front door open again. "Who could it be?" Kagome asked. "I bet the lecher" Sango said. Kagome saw the door of the living door open and a boy/man with dark hair in a little pony tail and purple clothes walked in.
"Oh hello my dear Sango! I see you have arrived already!" he said. He walked towards Sango and took both of her hands in between his own, while kneeling for the couch she was sitting on. Kagome didn't know what she was seeing. She was flabbergasted. And apparently so was Sango. After a few seconds she had regained her thought and pulled back her hands. He didn't waste any time with putting his right hand on another place. "SMACK!" Sango's hand collided with his cheek. It left behind a bright red spot. "Don't do that you creep!" Sango said. "You're hurting my feeling my lady!" he said while rubbing his face.
And then, the man saw Kagome for the first time. "And who's this? It must be the lovely Ki.. uh.. I mean Kagome I heard so much about!" the man said. He held out his hand and Kagome shook it. Somehow, the man managed to shake her hand and rub her behind at the same time. "I'm Miroku, nice to meet you!" he said with a big smile. "Aaaah! Get off me!" She said while slapping his face. He now had a red mark on both of his cheeks.
Though he was a big lecher, he wasn't a mean one. He was watching them with kind brown eyes and a sincere interest. They started a conversation. He told them that he was friends with the other boy living in the house, who was called Inuyasha. Miroku was studying a cultural study and Inuyasha was doing Medicine. "That's funny, Kagome's studying Veterinary Medicine!" Sango said. "Oh really? Maybe he can give you some tips, since we're both in our second year", he said. The girls learned that the boys were both from the bigger city next to their hometown. "Wow that's only a 20 minute ride!" Sango said. "It's a small world after all" Miroku said with a singing tone.
The three of them decided to have dinner together, so they didn't have to cook separately. Sango had brought macaroni and the others had ingredients for a sauce. In the kitchen there were already cutlery, plates and pans, so they didn't have to buy their own. "So tell me, is Inuyasha always the serious, distant type or is it just to strangers?" Sango asked Miroku while they were cutting vegetables. Kagome was putting the plates and cutlery on the table.
"Well no, at least he wasn't like that before. But since his breakup with his past girlfriend he is. It didn't really go well, he was kind of devastated." "When did that happen?" Kagome asked. "One year ago, when we just moved here." Miroku said. "Who broke up with whom?" Sango asked. "Actually it was Inuyasha who broke them up" he said. "He doesn't like me sharing his personal matters, so you should ask him for the details, not me. So what about you girls? Are you single?" he said while staring 'discretely' at Sango. "I am but Kagome's not" Sango laughed. "She had been with Hojo for ages now".
Kagome was putting on a pan with water on the hot plate to boil. "It's a childhood romance" Kagome said while laughing. "We started dating at age seven" she said. "Wow really? How sweet", Miroku said. "But it doesn't really go deep, does it? He's more like a really good friend than a lover" Sango said, "You have only kissed once!" "Does that matter? I do actually like him! And he's no sore to the eyes!" Kagome said. "Aren't you curious to be with someone else for a change? Do you really love him?" Miroku asked. "I haven't really thought about that. But I have no intention of being unfaithful to him! He's a great guy!" Kagome said. Sango and Miroku exchanged a glance.
"What did he say about you living with two guys?" Sango said. "Well, he was a little bit concerned, I admit. He insisted on visiting me in three weeks. I think it has something to do with that" Kagome said. "That will be fun!" Miroku said. "Don't do anything stupid Miroku!" Sango said while looking at Miroku with a strict face. The three of them had dinner and did the dished together afterwards. Fortunately, the boys weren't slobs like most boys, so the kitchen was clean and remained clean after their dinner. Every other week a cleaning lady would come on Sunday to clean the whole place, except for their rooms of course. They also didn't have to pay for toilet paper and detergent, which made their rent a little higher than average, but it was certainly worth it.
They all went to their own rooms at 11 p.m.. Kagome went to sleep soon after, so she never heard her third housemate coming home.
If my story turns out to be something other people want to read, then I will update at least once every two weeks. Of course, Inuyasha will be included in the next chapter. That's what we are all hoping for, isn't it? The meeting between Kagome and him? Will he be a total douche or will it be love at first sight? I guess you'll have to wait to find out. ;)
Greetings, AFlowerPetal
