Kagome turned the key in the ignition successfully turning the car off. She stared out her window to see the apartment building in all its concrete glory. Snow drifted gently to the ground below covering everything in a pure white blanket. She squeezed her eyes shut only to open them again realizing she had to get out of the car sometime. She opened the door and walked swiftly to the trunk to retrieve her luggage. Getting into the lobby, she shook her head to free it of snow and let her once tied back hair fall gracefully around her face. She pushed the up button near the elevator and drummed her fingers on the luggage handle while she waited for it to open. The elevator doors opened and she quickly got in pushing a button that would lead to the sixth floor. She was looking at her snow covered brown heeled boots when another foot was found jammed between the doors. The person on the other side cursed fluently and murmured about stupid elevators. Kagome giggled lightly and pressed a button that opened the elevators once more. A tall man stood before her. He wore a pair of gray slacks and a petty coat that was unbuttoned in the front to reveal a red dress shirt. His eyes were a deep rich gold and his hair was as white as the snow that she had just come out from. He was definitely good looking but Kagome didn't want anything like a man in her life at the moment. She was perfectly content with her single life. She quickly averted her eyes quite embarrassed that she had been staring at him for a good minute.

"Thanks," the man said with a smile. Kagome nodded her head in response and answered him.

"Your welcome," she giggled. The doors opened once again and Kagome and the man both got out turning to look at one another.

"Bye," Kagome said not even bothering to turn back again.

"Later" the man replied.

Kagome stood in front of apartment 635 and took out her keys. Flipping some other ones, she found the right one and stuck it in the keyhole and twisted it until the door opened. The first thing she noticed was the living room on her right. It was gorgeous. Floor to ceiling windows allowed her the beautiful view of Central Park and simple French doors lead out to a small balcony. To her left was an airy and cozy kitchen. A small island with barstools was centered in the middle. She made her way down the wall-less hallway and peered into a room on the right. It was a bedroom. It was going to be her room to be exact. It was large with a king sized canopy bed on the left and a white vanity across from it. Windows once again adorned one of the walls allowing her to see all of New York during the wintered season. Across the way, a large and well lit bathroom was all hers. She could just imagine the bubble baths she would take and all the candles and makeup that would litter the countertops. Down the hallway was a small linen closet and an extra small room. She guessed it was a study or a guestroom. She snorted imagining how cramped it would be with just a kid's bed and night table; it would definitely be a study.Now I just have to unpack my clothes and wait for Souta and the guys to bring up my stuff. A half an hour later she glanced at her watch realizing she had two hours until her brother got here. She mine as well take a shower.

She went into the bathroom and started the water. She shed her clothes and folded them neatly on the floor. A terry robe was retrieved from one of the suit cases and was now wrapped around her petit frame. She stared at herself for a long time. Her jet black hair was curled and wavy from previously being in a bun. Her skin was light and fair as porcelain and her pouted lips were delicately touched with pink. Her eyes were a piercing light brown. She remembered when Kouga used to tell her she had the most beautiful face in the world. That was when he loved her. Now Kagome would stare at herself in disgust. How could anyone love me? Kagome snapped out of her trance to see that her cell phone was ringing wildly. She flipped it open and answered

"Hello?"

"Kags? Are you hanging out in your BRAND SPANKIN NEW apartment!!!"

"Yes I most certainly am. Thanks for calling," Kagome looked up again to see herself in the mirror. She sighed at her reflection and turned away to her room.

"I just wanted to come over since you just got here. I thought you might like to see some friendly faces and have a helping hand to start up the place."

"That sounds great. What time will you be here?"

"I'll be there in an hour or so. I have to finish up my work here and then me and Kagura figured we'd head out to get us some takeout and a house warming wine bottle to bring over. Kay?"

"Perfect. So I'll see you at eight. Souta and Kohaku will be here soon to. Bye Sango,"

"Bye Kags,"

She closed her phone and set it on the kitchen counter. She went into the bathroom and continued her shower. When she got out, she changed into a pair of black sweats and a gray hoodie. She combed her hair and tied it loosely at the nape of her neck allowing some strands to fall around her face. She needed a cup of coffee. Looking at the clock, she decided she would head downstairs for one. Once more looking through her luggage, she took out a pair of sneakers and returned to the living room for her scarf. She bounded down the hallway once the door was locked and headed for the elevator once more. She thought to herself on the way down to the main floor. She thought about her new apartment and her new life. She soon forgot and stepped out of the elevator heading out the doors thanking the doorman as well. Breathing deep, she crossed the street and made a left where a café was quaintly nestled between a bookstore and a Chinese food place. She walked in allowing the smell of cookies and coffee to subdue her senses. She ordered a coffee with cream and a packet of sugar and paid for it as well. Once more she was on her way to her apartment ready to flop on her couch with Sango and Kagura while watching her brother hook up the TV and place things where it should be.

After getting upstairs, Sango and Kagura soon arrived and so did Kagome's brother and Sango's brother with boxes and boxes of Kagome's belongings. The work had been done and everything was placed in its rightful spot after a grueling two hours. After dinner, Kagura, Sango, the boys, and Kagome stayed up talking about the past and all the forgotten memories of their youth. After all, Sango and Kagura were her neighbors back in the day and they grew to be best of friends and their brothers soon followed suit. Around eleven the boys left leaving the girls to their own devices.

"Do you remember when it was just us? No boys and no confusing lives? Just days in Kagome's backyard playing tag and eating fudge pops all day long. Do you guys?" Sango commented.

Kagura chuckled and got under the fluffy white blankets. "Do you remember sitting in the living room watching Sailor Moon and singing the theme song at the top of our lungs. Or how about in kindergarten when Sango pulled this girl's hair for stealing our juice boxes?"

"I remember! And then we told the teacher that the girl pulled Sango's hair. That was the best thing she has ever done!" Kagome smiled wistfully.

All of them ended up passing out after many rounds of laughter. Sango and Kagura had had too much wine also and slept in Kagome's bed with Kagome sleeping between them.

The next morning, Kagome snuck out of bed at seven to buy breakfast while the rest of her guest dozed off. Kagura was the first to wake up and sat in the kitchen drinking a glass of water. When Kagome got back, she gently closed the door behind her and headed toward the kitchen.

"JESUS CHRIST KAGURA!!" Kagome yelled through clenched teeth. Kagome didn't expect anyone to be up. She was scared. Her bag of greasy Burger King Breakfast sandwiches and hash browns fell to the ground as she clutched her chest for her dear life.

"Must you be so loud? I have a head ache the size of fucking Texas," Kagura stated with monotony. She was always the fierce strong one with that dry sense of humor that Kagome loved. Sango was the same but was more violent and when bothered, you could get your ass kicked. None the less though, both of them were there for her when she needed them like last night.

"I forgot you were quite the perky one in the morning. I shouldn't have had so much wine. I feel like the way I do after a horrible date and I drank a lot so I would get laid without having to remember much of it," Kagura smiled lopsidedly at Kagome and retreated back to her bedroom with a bagel in her mouth.

Kagome shook her head yet still smiled. It was classic Kagura. Ever since her breakup with who she thought was Mister Perfect, she always went on pointless dates and usually complained about how bad the sex was. Kagome remembered she forgot to get drinks so she ventured outdoors once more.

She quietly put on a pair of tight black jeans and a red fitting jacket that ended right before her butt. She then pulled the elastic out of her hair and headed out the door once more. That's when she saw the man from the elevator. She waved to him as he stepped out of his doorway. He smiled back and leaned against the door. A woman came out of the doorway and kissed him lightly on the lips before whispering something into his ear. He smiled down at the woman and caressed her cheek. For some reason Kagome felt disappointed and almost hurt. She turned her head towards the elevator and quickly jabbed the button. She got in breathing a sigh of relief only to be disappointed once more when the man from yesterday and his girlfriend she supposed walked in. Kagome made no eye-contact with him and opted to stare at her Steve Madden sling backs.

Inuyasha looked at the girl from yesterday who stared at her shoes in concentration. She was wearing a red coat today with her curly black hair falling around her and seemed uncomfortable. Kikyo, his girlfriend looked up at him slightly peeved that he wasn't paying attention to her. She huffed and glared at the girl in the red. Inuyasha looked at his girlfriend and smiled hoping that she wasn't mad. The girl was the first to get out and quickly walked out onto the busy streets of New York. Inuyasha shrugged it off and led Kikyo out to the front door.

"Bye Inuyasha," Kikyo looked at him and kissed him on the cheek before turning sharply on her heel. Inuyasha knew she was mad, but decide to ignore it. She was always fighting with him and being mad at him now. He would just let it go. He saw the girl in the red again. She carried a tray of coffee and crossed the street while her heels clicked lightly on the ground. He walked back in slowly and the girl was soon walking to the elevators getting in at the same time he was. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Plan on drinking all that coffee?" he questioned still looking forward at the doors. She looked at her coffees and blushed.

"Hi, the names Inuyasha TakaHashi. I don't think I've seen you around. Ya new?" he questioned her. Mine as well make some conversation instead of letting awkward silence stretch on forever.

Kagome stiffened and soon relaxed and answered his question.

"Hey, my name is Kagome Higurashi. Yea, I'm new here. I used to live upstate but moved down here. The coffee is for the friends who decided to pass out on my living room floor."

Inuyasha laughed and also could tell she didn't want to elaborate on why she moved. He let that slide like everything else in his life now.

"Well, here's our stop." Kagome walked out first and stopped in front of him.

"See ya around" he said. He stuck out a hand and Kagome hesitantly took it and shook it.

Kagome and Inuyasha turned towards their respected apartments and left without a second glance.

"Kagome?" Sango sat on the couch next to Kagura who smiled mischievously. " I'm pretty sure I heard a man's voice! You sly little girl! You never told me you met someone. OH how I'd love to see the look on Kouga's face when he hears your getting lai-

"NO! ITS NOTHING LIKE THAT! HE IS MY NEIGHBOR AND HAS A GIRLFRIEND!" Kagome said defensively. She threw her arms in the air as if she were drowning.

Kagura snickered and so did Sango. They loved to torture like this very much.

Night came and each girl had gone to their own home needing to run errands and go to work the next day. Tomorrow Kagome would head out to work. She worked at the New York Times slowly working her way up the ladder of success. Sleep came over her and she fell fast asleep unaware of what the next day held for her!!
