Chapter 2

My new family of Four

I was busy working the days prior to their arrival, so I decided that I would wait until Saturday too meet them rather than trying to squish an a couple of hours into my hectic schedule. By Saturday my mom and I had decided to move the things in the studio, which was the room next to mine, downstairs, so Inuyasha could have a bigger bedroom. My mom also bought a bigger bed so she and Izanagi would have more room. On Saturday morning we cleaned the house, then prepared lunch, ate, and finally sat down and watched TV until the bell rang.

My mom jumped up and ran to the door, but I just stayed there. I heard her and a man exchange greetings, and a moment later I heard another male voice. Their voices kept getting closer and so did their footsteps. Finally, I saw my smiling mom come in hand-in-hand with a tall, brown haired, hazel eyed man. His smile was even bigger than my mom's. His eyes set on me and he came towards me. I stood up.

"You must be Kagome!" He said happily as he leaned forward.

"Yep, that's me! Pleased to meet you!" I said as I leaned forward. They were so incredibly happy that I probably looked depressed next to them. I leaned forward too as I greeted him.

"Wow, you definitely got your mother's looks! All the boys at school must be crazy about you." I was getting a bit uncomfortable. "Are there more like you at your school? I need to get Inuyasha a pretty girl. I am getting tired of him being around the house all the time…" He raised his voice when he said the last two sentences and then he stuck his tongue out playfully.

"Well I am sorry I like to spend time at my house!" This was said by who I assumed to be Inuyasha. "But I do like the idea of having a beautiful girl by my side."

He was stunning, probably the sexiest man I had ever seen. He was about 5 inches taller than me and had coal-black hair that went down to his waist. He was very fit, and due to my damn hormones I couldn't stop thinking about what it would feel like to put my hands on his chest and run them along his strong arms. His lips were juicy and his big eyes were to die for. They were of a beautiful amber color which I had never seen before. I could not stop staring at him, and that's when I realized he was looking at me too. I looked the other way and blushed slightly.

"I hope he didn't notice I was checking him out!" I thought.

Inuyasha's POV

Kagome was beautiful. She was wearing a white summer dress that went down to right above her knees. Her raven hair went half way down her back. Her light brown eyes were big, and her long eyelashes made them look sophisticated without the need for messy mascara. Her lips were rosy and juicy and I couldn't stop thinking about what it would feel like to suck and kiss them passionately. Her legs were long and strong, and her breasts were round and perfectly positioned, and I could actually see a little bit of their sides thanks to the triangular shape of the cloth that covered them. It was hard to stop looking at her. Suddenly I noticed she was looking at me too. I said the first thing that came to my mind so she would not realize what I was thinking.

"So Kagome, do you have any cute friends that I could meet?"

"Ah, well… yes, I guess…" I looked at him quizingly. I did not expect him to say that, and for some reason that question bothered me. That's when my mom started talking and we stopped looking at each other.

"So! Let's get you to your rooms guys. Inuyasha, Kagome will show you your room."

"Great, thanks."

"This way." I said as I pointed toward the stairs.

He followed me closely and I could feel his eyes on me. I turned back slightly and saw him staring at my butt.

"Excuse me??"

He looked up at me innocently.

"What?"

"Could you please stop staring at my butt?"

"Well, it is right there. Does it bother you?"

"Well…of course it does! Wouldn't it bother you if it was me looking at your butt?" I regretted saying this the moment it came out of my mouth.

"Why should it bother me? I love my butt. I would stare at it too if I could. Actually, I use the mirror sometimes to make sure it stays nice and sexy."

"Wow, talk about a huge ego." I started going back up the stairs and went into Inuyasha's room.

"This is your room. It used to be the studio, but we thought you would be more comfortable here because it is bigger and you only have to share the bathroom with me." I wasn't sure if he was listening to me.

"Can I get to the roof from here?" His body was halfway out the window.

"Heh? I am not sure… I have never thought about going up there. I would be too worried thinking that I could fall at any second."

"You worry too much then." He was still looking out.

He looked gorgeous next to the window, the sun reflecting in his amber eyes and his long hair soothingly dancing with the wind. It was hard to stop staring. Then he started talking again."

"I like this house. How long have you lived here?"

"Since I was born. My mom lived here with my grandmother since she graduated from college, and she inherited it after grandma died fifteen years ago, when I was two."

"Have you and your mom been by yourselves all this time?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"So, are you ok with us moving in all of a sudden? Or are you faking it for our parents' sake?"

"Probably half and half. I guess am glad because it makes my mom happy, but I am also somewhat angry because her decision has changed my life so radically in such a short period of time. I mean, she didn't even tell me that two families of strangers were going to live with us until five days ago!" My face was a little red with frustration.

"Yeah, I know. I asked them to tell you a while ago but they were too scared. They thought you would hate them or something."

"When did they tell you?"

"Five months ago. We wouldn't have had time to pack everything otherwise."

"And when did you find out about their relationship??"

"Probably about… 10 months ago. I guess that at that point they had gotten pretty tired of making up excuses and sleeping in hotels, so they decided to use my house as their love nest. They were so nervous when they told me. At they end they were like 'we are sooooo happy you understand!!' It was pretty disturbing and hilarious at the same time."

"Ten months…" I couldn't believe it. "Seriously?! And why would you understand and not me?! Do I look like I would easily break like glass?!" I was looking down, and some tears had formed in my eyes. I felt stupid crying in front of a guy I just met, but I couldn't help it. Everyone living at my house thought I was weak and talked about me behind my back.

Just then I felt Inuyasha moving towards me, and about ten seconds later he was right in front of me. He was so close to me I could feel his breath on my forehead. I looked up and he looked straight into my eyes.

"On the contrary, I think you are a tough girl. A little bit whiny but considering that they told you five days ago I think you are doing pretty ok." He smiled as he said this. My knees felt weak and I could have melted.

Suddenly, he stepped back. He looked at me one last time and then went around me and towards the door. From the hallway, with his back facing me, he talked again.

"We should go down and help our parents. There is a lot to unpack." And with that said he started going down the stairs.

"Wow… This is definitely going to be an interesting year." I thought before heading downstairs as well.
