A/N Okay everyone I promised you a sequel to A Home For Inuyasha, and I have finally had a chance to start working on it. I appologize for taking so long to get this out. I have been very busy with the holidays, and I don't have my usual cheerleader to keep me writing constantly.

I have not completely written out my story before I post it. That means 1) The updates will not be as frequent or as steady as the first story. 2) I may actually go back and make some changes as I write. Chances are I won't change a lot if I do, because I didn't while I wrote AHFI, but I'm leaving it out there that I may have to make changes. Also, I didn't think of a title for AHFI until AFTER I was done writing the thing... So I really don't have a good title for this story yet. So, I'm hoping this title does my story justice, but if it doesn't sorry. Sometimes when writing a story the characters take you in a completely different direction than you planned.

If you have not read A Home For Inuyasha, I suggest you take the time to read it. It's not half bad for being my first fanfic, if I do say so myself. Also, I will reference a few things from the story.

I feel like I'm rambling a lot on here... so with my disclaimer of not owning Inuyasha or any characters of said Manga/Anime I give you the first chapter of Survivng College

"I can't believe you guys are really leaving. I don't want to have to say goodbye," Kagome cried as she finished taping the box she had just filled.

"I know. It's going to be so weird not being around everybody all the time. I'm going to miss everyone so much, but especially you," Ayame replied. "Thank you for everything you've done to help me and Koga. We would never even be able to go on this expedition if it wasn't for you."

Kagome blushed. "Please, don't mention it. I'm just glad to know that some of the wolf demons survived. If Koga hadn't run into Ginta and Hakkaku, we still wouldn't have any idea. I really hope you two find more of your tribe members."

"Me too."

Kagome and Ayame finished boxing up the last of Ayame's things. She had already put the most important things in the RV Kagome had presented to her and Koga to help them search for surviving tribe members. She had clothes, toiletries, her laptop (so she could email Kagome whenever they were somewhere that had free wifi), and her phone (so she could keep in touch with her close knit group of friends). She also had some knick knacks and odds and ends that probably weren't necessary, but had great sentimental value to her.

Koga had finished packing all of his things that were going to be put in storage while they traveled around looking for anyone else who had survived the terrible slaughter of the two tribes. Now, he and Inuyasha were piling Ayame's furniture and personal belongings in the storage space they were renting for however long it would take them to search for more friends and family.

The two were going to be leaving tomorrow. They wanted to finish packing and cleaning before they had the 'moving on party'. It was going to be a going away party, but they decided to make it in honor of everyone in their group. Sure, Ayame and Koga were the only ones actually separating from the group, but they decided to also celebrate the others going to college.

All seven friends had been accepted into the same college, and were planning to attend together. (Ayame was sure that Inuyasha's tutoring and Kagome's mass amount of wealth may have had something to do with everyone being accepted, but Kagome wouldn't admit to anything and Inuyasha insisted he'd hardly had to do anything to get the group on the right track for college.) However, the plans changed when Koga had seen his two friends. And while the group knew Koga and Ayame would be missed, they all agreed that college could wait and they needed to look for others.

When the boxes had been placed by the wall for the boys to grab, the girls got some cleaning supplies to clean Ayame's room. There wasn't a lot of cleaning to do. Ayame was not a messy person, but they wanted to make sure her room was clean. They washed the walls and shelves in the closet down, and vacuumed the floor. When they were finished and the boxes were all out of the small apartment, they did a quick walk through of the other rooms to make sure nothing had been left behind.

Ayame felt a strange bittersweet moment as she set her key to the apartment on the table for her roommate, and shut the door behind her for the last time. She wouldn't be coming back to this place again. She would be embarking on a new journey to places unknown. At least she wouldn't be on her own, she'd have Koga at her side the whole time. She followed as Kagome led her to the car parked on the street, slightly nervous but ready for whatever lay ahead of her.
