Breaking The Habit

Description: Kagome looked up at a boy with a black bandanna on, and sunglasses on. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and baggy jeans. What had caught Kagome's attention was his tattoos. Barbed wire around his right biceps, the DBD logo under his left ear, and on his knuckles were imprinted I-N-U-Y-A-S-H-A. It was him, her idol.

Rated M for drugs, sex, and alcohol. Possible violence

'Okay Kagome, you can do this.' Kagome took a huge, deep breath as the person infront of her finished paying. 'He just wants this one favour. It's the last thing he's going to ask.'

"Can I have one pack of Caster Cigarettes." Kagome said so quietly, the cashier had to ask what she had said. Kagome repeated herself, just loud enough for the old man to hear. He asked for ID and she handed him her drivers liscens so he could make sure she was 20.

Kagome felt so light headed as the cashier gave back her ID and he got her the pack of smokes.

"839.44 Yens please." Kagome sighed and paid for them. She asked for it to be bagged and she stuck them in her purse. Now all she had to do was go home and hope that her mother hadn't gotten home yet. If her mother was home, she would ask where Kagome had been and Kagome is a bad liar.

"What's that smell?" Kagome asked herself when she got home. She couldn't really pick out what it smelled like, but it was certain that the smell wasnt all that great. She looked around her, but saw nothing unordinary. Then she looked up and saw a black and white blob in the sacred tree. Kagome shielded her eyes from the sun with her hand to get a better look.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah?" he answered. Kagome rolled her eyes and decided to climb up to see what he was up to.

"I got your cigarettes for you." she said as she climbed up, though not to happy about it. "This is the last time I buy them for you. So make them last."

"Mhmm." he replied just as Kagome reached him. When she got up to the branch he was sitting on, her mouth had slightly fallen open and her eyes narrowed in anger.

"Get that thing out of your mouth!" Kagome growled and pulled the joint he was smoking away from him. Kagome climbed down. With a snarl, Inuyasha leaped down, making it to the ground long before Kagome did.

"What's the big deal?" he snarled and took it back.

"It's killing your body!" she somehow snatched it from him again. Now she knew what the heck that smell was.

"I'm a half demon. Crack doesn't effect me that way." he rolled his eyes and attempted to grab it back, but Kagome moved away.

"Don't forget, your half human too. It has some effect on you. And if I ever catch you smoking in the sacred tree, ever again, I'll have you head."

"What's the big deal, it's just a tree."

"It's thousands of years old, and it's important to the shrine." she said and threw the joint on the ground then stomped her foot on it.

Inuyasha could have killed her right there, but she's hiding him plus she bought him some smokes, so he was going to let it slide, for now. He has plenty more weed on him so he was going to wait until she left again.

"Just for that, I'll give you your smokes on the weekend. I'm going to Rin's so stay here and dont leave my room. At all."

"Alright alright..." he rolled his eyes then went in Kagome's room through her window.

Before going over to Rin's, Kagome decided to stop in the house and grab some leftover pizza. Kagome had a feeling that since Sesshomaru was staying over, Rin would be very short on food.

With the pizza in the container, Kagome made sure Inuyasha was still in her room then she headed to the bus stop down her street. Rin's apartment is too far to be able to walk.

She arrived in a quick 20 minutes and she made her way up the stairs to fifth floor. Kagome always hated coming here. It reminded her just how much Rin was struggling and she wished Rin would just let her three friends help her. But she's more stubborn then a mule.

With a sad sigh, Kagome knocked on the door and was surprised to see Sesshomaru answer.

"Oh, hi Sesshomaru?" Kagome blinked.

"Rin isn't here, she's at work."

"I thought she was off at 3?" Kagome asked, looking at her watch. It's currently four o'clock.

"She called me and said she was going to take another three hours since someone had called in sick."

"Alright, well can you give this to her for me please?" she handed him the container with about five pieces of pizza.

"Sure," he said and took it. "But can I ask you a few things?" he stepped to the side so she could easily walk in. With a confused look, Kagome walked by him and sat at the small dining room table. Sesshomaru placed the left over pizza in the fridge then sat beside Kagome.

"Why doesn't Rin have any food, or a decent place to live?"

Kagome blinked at the sudden question. She knew Sesshomaru was one to get straight to the point and just get things over with according to many articles in magazines.

"Well, I don't think it's in my place to tell you why." Kagome said.

"She won't tell me. I looked in the fridge last night for a glass of juice and there isn't even enough for her to eat."

Kagome glanced at the fridge, with yet another sad sigh. "Her parents died in a car crash three years ago. They didn't have that much money in the first place and they were 414,167.32 Yens in debt. She just finished paying it off not too long ago along with paying for school and for this place and for food. She works around the clock when she's not in school. She has horrible pay and an asshole for a boss. She won't take any money from us, even if we offer her to pay us back once she gets a good job."

"So that's what's going on." he said and Kagome nodded. She was really confused though. Sesshomaru wasn't one to care about many people, especially someone he just met. It could just be the fact that he doesn't want to starve while he was here.

"Anyways, I have to go." Kagome said and stood up. She said goodbye and left the apartment. Kagome decided to go to Sango's for a bit to see how things were going with her and Miroku. Miroku is only human so he can't just jump in her room through a window. Hopefully they got home yesterday before either Kohaku or her dad did.

As she approached the house, Kagome could hear the unmistakable sound of Sango practicing her drums. Kagome laughed as she shook her head. Her family must be gone right now then. But, it sounded like she was practicing a lot harder then usual.

Knowing Sango wouldn't hear Kagome, she let her self hear. As she walked up the stairs, the eratic drumming stopped. Kagome shrugged her shoulders but then the drumming started again, this time a whole new beat. Kagome knocked on Sango's door but no answer came, like that was a surprise. With a funny sigh, she opened the door to see Miroku drumming like crazy and Sango with her arms crossed, an unhappy look on her face.

As Miroku showed off his drumming, Sango noticed Kagome in the room and waved his to her.

"And that's how you do it." Miroku nodded at Sango. "Oh, hi Kagome." Miroku said with a peverted smirk when he saw her. Kagome just happened to be wearing a low cut tank top.

"Hi Miroku?" Kagome said, wondering why he was looking at her like that. "What are you guys doing?"

"Trying to show eachother off." Miroku smirked as he threw a stick in the air and caught it. "So far I'm winning."

"Yeah, watch this." Sango grabbed the sticks out of his hands and pushed him off the stool. She began to play the drums and Kagome recognized it as one of Sango's favorite drum covers, Down With The Sickness by Dark Blooded Demons. Miroku raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had a pretty hard time learning the drum cover for this one. She's probably been practicing it for a while.

Just as Sango had gotten half way through the song, Kouga jumped in Sango's room from the window, scarring the crap out of everyone.

"The fuck man?" Miroku said from the floor with his hand over his heart. He had fallen over he had been scared so mch.

"Hide me." Kouga begged as he looked around the room.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU KOUGA!" Ayame jumped in too, equally scaring everyone just as Kouga did.

"What happened?" Kagome asked, trying to recover from her heart attack.

"Someone forgot to spray insense on him after getting out of the shower this morning, and my gramps sniffed him out!" Ayame growled as she stared at Kouga.

"Well this isn't good..." Sango mumbled.

A few more hours had passed, and all four girls were sitting were shamely sitting on Kagome's couch as Kagome's mother Sakura, Sango's father Daisuke, and Ayame's gramps Kichigai, were looking at them with arms crossed and very unimpressed looks on their faces.
