The house

"Duh it's not like any guys would want to call you!" Kagome puffed up her cheeks, angry, and wanted to slam the phone against the wall or better yet, Inuyasha's head.

"I have more dates right now than you ever had!" Kagome screamed into the phone. She heard Inuyasha scream in pain. He had very sensitive ears and Kagome apparently had no clue.

Kagome cowered back from the earpiece as Inuyasha yelled cursings into the phone as fast as his mouth could run. Kagome covered her ears.

"Geez I'm sorry, okay?!" Kagome said quietly into the phone. Inuyasha stopped talking for a moment like he had never had anyone say sorry to him.

"Anyways the house is ready for you to move in early so you can get used to it, you got it?!" Inuyasha was being very forward in what he was saying but Kagome kind of thought that that was what he was like and she accepted it.

"Is that a demand?" she asked, somewhat teasing him. She could guess that he was rolling his eyes at the moment.

"NO! Just come to the house whenever you friggin want I don't care. Sango's got the address. Just call her or don't move in." The phone clicked. And he was gone.



Kagome stood on the sidewalk and stared down at the little scrap of paper in her hand. On the paper it noted the address in Sango's handwriting. 124 forester lane. There was a little map drawn under it.

Kagome looked back up, her face still shocked. It was a tiny two story building and Kagome wondered how they were all going to fit into it. The yard was like a jungle, except much smaller, but still overgrown. Dead leaves covered the ground, except for the skinny path that led to the house.

Kagome sighed thinking the worst of the house. She picked up a few of the suitcases she had and walked up to the front door and set them down, then went back to the car that her mother was in, picked up the rest of her suitcases and kisses her mother goodbye.

There were tears in her mother's eyes and she waved goodbye while trying to smile. It didn't work.

Kagome rolled the rest of her baggage up the front steps and rang the doorbell. It rang clearly. It worked. That was a good sign.

The door cracked open and A purple eye peaked out. Kagome put her hands on her hips. Then she pushed the door open, hitting Inuyasha in the forehead.

"OW OW OW! You stupid son of a!" Kagome kicked him hard. "Don't be so mean Inuyasha, I can already see why people aren't really fond of you."

Inuyasha became red with anger as she loaded up all the bags on his shoulders. He muttered more curse words. She walked around the house a little and Inuyasha dumped her stuff on the living room couch. Dust flew off of it.

Kagome actually liked what she saw as she traveled around on the first floor. A Nice kitchen. The walls were a little aged but she guesses that was why they got the house for so cheap. Everything was still intact.

The living room was nice too. The fireplace was extravagant, but the wood floor was old and worn and the furniture was cracked and dusty.

There was another room with couches but Kagome's thought that it was meant to be a dining room. It was more empty and made Kagome wondered if the people whom had previously owned the house where druggies who held dance parties on weekends.

The thought was washed out of her mind when Inuyasha tapped on her shoulders and led her up the stairs after loading her luggage on his back. He was actually being nice to her for once in a long while.

They walked up the steep, skinny, steps to the top floor. Kagome looked around, leaving Inuyasha stuck in an uncomfortable position on the stairs with the luggage stacked up on his shoulders.

"Would you mind" Inuyasha asked, annoyed and being sarcastic. "Oh sorry", Kagome moved over a little for him to get through and he pushed past her and dumped her stuff in another room.

Kagome peered into the room and was surprised to see what a small room it was. She guessed that he had gotten the smallest room. She peered into the next room.

It was a bathroom. Much smaller than her room but it was comfortable. She went to the next room. It was bigger than hers by a little. There was luggage covering the floor. Clothes littered the bed. It was obviously Inuyasha's room.

The last room was the biggest room. Still pretty small, but bigger than the dubbed "party room". Kagome turned around to see that Inuyasha was nowhere to be found. His door was opened so she took a peak inside and saw him rummaging through his luggage.

Kagome decided not to ask. She pushed over a few clothes away from the bed and sat down quietly. He didn't notice she was there. He was very independent.

She watched him rummage through his bags then slapped his arms to his sides, tired of looking for whatever it was. He turned and saw her.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" he asked, enraged that she had crept up on him. "God you have such a bad temper!" Kagome shot back loudly. Inuyasha started to grind his teeth, obviously irritated.

"Just get out" "What are you looking for?" "Did I say that it was any of your business?" "Why does it have to be?" "Because that's the way it is." "Why?" "BECAUSE" "WHY?"

Inuyasha grabbed her arm and pulled her up off of the bed. "Ow, let go!" Kagome yelled. He let go of her as ordered to do, and sat down where she was, staring at the wood floor.

Kagome bent her head sideways like a cat in confusion. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha just lied out on his bed and rested his hands behind his head and in a real cheeky voice, said "so where's Miroku and Sango?"

"They are coming up here later." "When?" "Later" "Why aren't they up here now?" "They wanted to talk and be together I guess." Kagome looked at him and smiled. "But that's okay because I have lots of unpacking to do and by the looks of it, so do you."

Inuyasha just stared blankly at the ceiling. Kagome sat down where she had before Inuyasha had pulled her off.

"What's bothering you?" she asked him. "They're so close to each other" "Yea, so?"

Kagome thought she seemed pretty heartless by saying that at the time, but she couldn't help but wonder where the conversation was going.

"It's nothing. It just reminds me of something." "Of what?" "Nothing." "What kind of nothing?" "A NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS KIND OF NOTHING!" Inuyasha howled at her.

Kagome put her hands on her hips and stood up. "Well GOD forbid you tell me!" she yelled and stormed out of the room, leaving Inuyasha alone with his thoughts.

She wandered into her blank bedroom. A mattress, a dresser, a nightstand. Was that all that her money could buy? She had to live with it like everybody else in the house had to she thought to herself. But there were only three rooms. There were four people.

Kagome pondered over this for a moment and guessed that Sango was staying with her in her room so she kept open a part of the room and started unpacking her things.



The doorbell rang so loudly that Kagome her Inuyasha yelp in pain after being awakened by such an ear shattering noise. He rumbled down the stairs in a huff and looked through the eyehole to see Sango staring back at him through it. He threw the door open and called for Kagome.

Kagome rumbled down the stairs just like Inuyasha had and smiled when she saw the happy couple at the door. Inuyasha pulled back and let them both in.

Sango and Kagome embraced while the boys watched, Miroku intrigued, Inuyasha disgusted. Kagome pulled back for a moment to look at Sango.

"There are only three rooms Sango-chan! Why didn't you tell me?!" Sango looked embarrassed. "I had hoped that it wouldn't be a big deal." Kagome crossed her arms. "Yea like the room is big enough for us to share!'

Sango pulled back further. So did Miroku and Inuyasha. "Kagome I'm staying with Miroku in his room." Kagome turned bright red. "WHAT!!!!!!"



Night had fallen and Miroku had brought wine into the house to have a housewarming party with his dear friends. Kagome and Inuyasha took their wine and retreated to their separate rooms. Kagome to unpack. Inuyasha to sleep.

The small player that was in the party room held entertainment enough for Sango and Miroku. The soft music was easy to dance to, and they danced together. Miroku held Sango in his arms and they quietly danced, not knowing what was taking place behind them.

On the stairs, beyond the banister was Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha was a few stair higher up than Kagome whom was sprawled out on the stairs, both sipping their still full wine glasses.

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. Watching him watching them. It was like a chain. He must have saw her from the corner of his eye because he stared directly at her making her blush.

In a whispering tone he asked "What?" "Nothing" "Why are you looking at me?" "No reason." "Uh-huh" Inuyasha smirked and Kagome shoved his arm. So far they had started off rocky but they were getting along pretty well.

"Well I guess that will happen to me a lot now", Inuyasha said, rubbing his arm. "Yea, I guess so."

They both smiled and Kagome held up her glass.

"To the new housemates! To us!"

Inuyasha didn't know what to say, but he held up his glass.

"ummmmm, oh yea. To us!" He smiled triumphantly as they clanged their glasses together, starting a new friendship.
