I'm going to follow the manga way of the characters' eyes color. If you have any concern about that, you can read the review I had left.

A train was leaving Hatsuki to Kagetsu. A girl around the age 16 with bluish gray eyes looked at the landscape that was passing by her seat window. She had silky black hair that was few inches below her shoulder. A smile was on her face throughout the ride. She wore a white tank with the word "Peace" on the front and the symbol on the back, a pair of olive green capris pant, and a pair of dark blue sneaker.
"I can't believe this is happening. I'm actually doing this. I have never been this happy before," Kagome thought happily, and wanted to jump up and down. However, she was holding herself from doing that, because she didn't want people to think she is crazy.
She handed her small luggage to the taxi's driver and was on the way from the train station to her new apartment. She was very excited and couldn't wait to start her independent life. However, she didn't know an hour later, will change her whole life.
When she got out of the taxi, she took a look around to see did the mover come yet. She noticed no truck was parked outside of the 16 floors tower called Kaimeiro, where her new apartment should be in. The exterior of Kaimeiro was in a grayish blue color, each apartment had rectangular shaped windows with dark green frames, and many of them had a balcony. She liked the park that was next to the tower, and saw many small stores were neared her new home.
"I guess I won't have trouble buying things in the middle of the night from that 24 hours convenient store," Kagome thought, and went to sit on a bench at the park.
"They are suppose to be here any minute now," she thought happily.
She saw a truck coming near Kaimeiro, so she stood up to see was it the one with her things. However, the mover who got out of the truck was not her mover, so she sat back down.
"I guess I'm not the only one who are moving in on today," Kagome thought.
Few minutes later, her mover had finally arrived. She stood up, and took her luggage with her to greet them.
"Sorry, miss! There was a tariff jam," One of the mover said.
"It's ok. My apartment is 1301. Once you get out of the elevator, it should be on your right hand side," Kagome said.
"Okay," The mover she talked to early said. "Let's get to work boys."
Kagome turned around and saw the mover she saw at the beginning was gathered around a guy with long black hair.
"So he is the one who is moving in on today, beside me," Kagome told, entered the tower and on her way to her apartment.
She pressed a button and waited for the elevation to take her to the 13th floor. The elevator had finally opened and she entered it. She pressed the button for the 13th floor, and the door started to close. However, a hand suddenly stuck in between the closing door to stop it from closing.
The door immediately opened and the guy she saw earlier with long black hair entered the elevator. Kagome saw he didn't press a floor button, instead he pressed the door closed button. Kagome took a quick look of him. She noticed his hair almost reached his waist, and had chestnut brown eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with the word "Leave me alone." in white on the black, a pair of short dark blue jean that reach below his knees, and a pair of black flip flops. She thought he was probably a little older than her.
She turned her attention back to the top of the elevator door and thought, "I think I had seen him before, but I couldn't remember where." Then, the elevator had finally reached the 13th floor.
The elevator door opened, and she turned right. It took only some steps till she got to her new home. She used the key to unlock the door, pushed the door in and entered the apartment. She stood in the middle of the apartment and took a look around the apartment. Then she went back to the living room, and opened the glass door of the balcony. She caught a view of the beach that was only few blocks down the streets. She heard someone entered the apartment and thought that person was the mover.
"What are you doing here?" A guy questioned.
Kagome turned around and saw that was the guy in the elevator earlier. "What do you mean what am I doing in here? I should be the one asking you that," She responded.
"I have the right to ask you that, because this is my apartment," He said and glared at her.
"This is my apartment. I have the contract to prove it," She replied annoyingly, and held the contract out to show him she was telling the truth. Suddenly his contract was in front of her, and it proved this is also his apartment.
"How could this happen? What should we do now?" She questioned.
"You can tell me about it," He said uncaringly. "Why don't we go to the real estate agency to ask about this?"
"Sure, but what about our things?" She asked and sounded quite upset with this problem.
"We can wait till the mover had all of our stuffs moved in, and then we go visit the real estate agency," He recommended.
"Okay," She agreed.
After everything was packed into the apartment, she locked the door and both of them went to the real estate agency that was only 2 blocks down the street. When they got there, the real estate agency had gone out of business.
"What should we do now?" Kagome questioned and felt extremely sad.
"I don't know. We can go talk to the landlady," He suggested and tried to be calm.
"Do you know how where she lives?" She questioned.
"I don't' know, but I have her home phone number. We can call them when we get back to the apartment," He said.
They went back to the apartment to call the landlady. The landlady told them her home address. Few minutes later, they had arrived at her house. She led them to her living room, and they saw she had a friend sitting beside the table. Kagome and that guy sat down on the floor beside the table across from the landlady. The landlady poured each of them a cup of green tea, and sat down beside her friend. The landlady's friend kept sending glare at the guy beside Kagome, but the guy beside her tried to avoid looking at the landlady's friend.
They told her about the problem, and the landlady's friend was sitting beside them hearing the conversation. Kagome and that guy took out the contract they had, and handed them to the landlady. The landlady took out her reading glasses that had rectangular shaped lens with golden colored frame, and read their contracts.
"I'm sorry to hear that the real estate agency had fooled you, because I didn't knew they would do that. I knew nothing about those contracts, " Itou Rei the landlady said calmly, who had her grayish brown hair in a bun and had soft light green eyes. She wore a tradition dark green hakama, and handed those contracts back to them.
"Let me tell you kids something," Fujigashi Takeshi the landlady's friend said loudly. He wore a dark green hakama, had grayish forest green hair, and also had sharp orange red eyes. Before he could start saying the next sentence, his upper mouth's fake teeth fell out of his mouth onto his lap. Kagome and that guy beside her were trying very hard not to laugh at that situation.
He went to pick it up from his lap, and put it in his cup of green tea. Then, he put it back to his upper mouth, and said, "There is no way she will only rent that apartment to you two for only $500, because that is her only source of income."
"I am very sorry to say this, but the rent for my apartment actually costs $1200 each month and all the utilities expenses are paid," Itou san suggested.
"Oh," Both Kagome and that guy next to her said at the same time.
They left Itou-san's house after the conversation, and went back to the apartment.
"I won't have a problem renting this apartment, so I suggest you to find another apartment," That guy said.
"What? How can you do this? It was not my fault this happen, and I didn't said anything about not staying at here," Kagome said angrily.
"Why should I share this apartment with you?" He said uncaringly.
"Because," Kagome said, and thought: "I can't leave. I don't know where I can find an apartment that in such a short notice. I won't give my chance of attending the St. Aiko Gakuen away, because I can't find a place to live. So she did the only thing she thought that would help her in this situation, and it was to start crying. He could never refuse a girl whenever she was crying, so he agreed to let her share this apartment with him.
"I hope you don't regret your choice," He said with a wicked smile.
"Why should I?" Kagome asked and felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Because I'm not the best roommate," He replied, and went to start taking his stuffs down to the hallway.
She knew he was on his way to find his bedroom, so she quickly went pass him and entered the bedroom that was connected to the bathroom.
"Hey, I pick this room first," He said angrily.
"Too bad, because it is my room now," Kagome replied with an innocent smile. "And my name is not Hey. It is Kagome. Higurashi Kagome."
"Whatever," He responded, and entered the bedroom that was at the end of the hall.
"What is your name?" Kagome asked sweetly and stood by his new bedroom doorway.
"Why should I tell you?" He questioned annoyingly and left his bedroom to go back to the living room.
Kagome followed him out of his bedroom to the living room. She saw he was going to continue taking his things back to his room, so she decided to help him.
"Because I had told you what my name is, and I don't think you would want me to called you, Yo or Hey," Kagome explained, while following him back to his room and put the box down on the floor.
"If you must know, my named is Inugami Yasha," He replied and went back to the living to retrieve his other stuffs. "And if anyone did phone me, they would probably call me "Inuyasha," so don't hung them up."
"Okay," Kagome said with a little smile, and went to the living to help him move his things.
After Inuyasha and Kagome had moved all his things in place, they sat down to take a short rest. Later on, Kagome started to take and move her things into her new room. But Inuyasha was still sitting on a chair doing nothing.
"What are you doing? Aren't you doing to help me?" Kagome asked confusingly.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm sitting on a chair relaxing. And why should I help you?" Inuyasha questioned.
"Because I had helped you moved your things in place, so I expected you to do the same for me too," She replied and started to lose her patience.
"Let me point something out. I didn't ask for your help in moving my stuffs, so it is not my responsibility to help move your things," He replied with a smirk. "And I had already told you, I'm not the best roommate."
"What have I gotten myself into?" Kagome thought, and put her right hand on her forehead.
