Best Friends!

Inuyasha watched as Kagome's eyes stayed glued to the window. Every time she saw something interesting to her she would shout out ooh! Aah! It made him feel like he was in the car with Shippo.

"Inuyasha, have you called Kikyo-Sempai?" Kagome asked and he shrugged.

"I called her on my way to the car place but not since then. We just started dating so I don't wanna badger her with calls." He stated.

"Have you two had sex yet?" She asked and he glared at her.

"I'll pull over and hit you!" He exclaimed and she giggled.

"Is it alright for you to be bring me to your family's house?" She asked and he looked at her before looking at the rode.

"Why not?" He shrugged.

"Well, Kikyo-Sempai should be here not me."

"As I said before Kikyo and I just started dating so I'm not gonna bring her to meet my parents." He stated and she nodded her head as she looked back out the window.

"Inuyasha, would you say that we are close?" She asked looking at him and he looked at her for a moment before looking back at the rode.

"Yeah…" He trailed off. "I would say that we're really close." He stated and he saw a give him a big smile before looking back out the window. After that she said no more. They enjoyed the car ride and each other's company.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes and saw Inuyasha pull up to a mini mansion. She rubbed her eyes and gasped when he pulled into the driveway.

"Who's house is this?" She looked at him.

"My older brother's." He replied and got out the car. Kagome also got out the car and zipped her jacket up. She went in the backseat and got her small duffle bag. She followed behind Inuyasha as he rang the doorbell. Kagome couldn't contain her excitement she had never been to a mansion before. The door opened and a small petite woman was standing in the doorway.

"Inuyasha!" She threw her arms around his waist. He patted her head.

"Rin, how are you? Should you be up already didn't you just have a baby?"

"Yeah, I exactly just home this morning but this is my third baby it's nothing new." She shrugged. She then looked at Kagome. "Oh! Hello."

"Konbanwa!" She waved while smiling.

"What's your name hun?"

"Higurashi Kagome. It's nice to meet you." She stated and Rin stared at her for a moment. Inuyasha raised his eyebrow. Rin then hugged her tightly.

"She's soo cute! I love her!" Kagome giggled. Inuyasha pulled Kagome back and looked her.

"Be wary of her she loves cute things and will smother them." He told her and Rin laughed.

"Oh stop it, come in, please come in." Inuyasha and Kagome walked inside. Inuyasha's mother walked to the main hallway while holding a baby. She looked at Kagome before looking at Inuyasha.

"You have a girlfriend Inuyasha?" She asked while looking happy.

"I do but it's not her." She stated and Rin and Izayoi looked confused. "She's-"

"I'm his best friend." Kagome said before he could finish. Izayoi nodded her head.

"It's very nice to meet you dear. What's your name?"

"Higurashi Kagome. Nice a pleasure to meet you." She bowed at bended waist. Rin clasped her hands together.

"Kaa-Chan isn't she cute?" Rin exclaimed and Izayoi giggled.

"She sure is, I'm Inuyasha's mother Izayoi please honey call me Oba-Chan. I'm not so into formalities."

"Same here please call me Onee-Chan." Kagome smiled and nodded. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

Soon two tall men and two small children walked into the main hall.

"I was wondering what was taking you so long to come into the den." The older man of the two stated. He then looked at Kagome.

"Inuyasha, you got a girlfriend?" His father asked.

"No, she's my…" He trailed off feeling embarrassed to say it to his father and brother.

"I'm his best friend Higurashi Kagome it's a pleasure to meet you." She bowed at bended waist.

"I'm Inuyasha's father Inutaisho, this is my older son Sesshoumaru and these two little ones are my grandchildren…Seiichi and Rima." Kagome smiled at the two children. She was able to tell the boy was older than the girl. Izayoi walked over to her husband as Rin walked over to Sesshoumaru.

"And this is the new addition to the family Rika-Chan." Izayoi introduced. Kagome looked at them and gasped. They were such a beautiful family new wonder why Inuyasha was a beautiful person. She looked at him before looking at them.

"Utsukushii kazoku." She whispered and Inuyasha looked at her.

"You all are very beautiful…would it trouble you all if I could draw n-" Inuyasha quickly covered her mouth.

"Kagome is an art major and she was curious about drawing the house." He finished and she looked at him. As his parents laughed.

"Kagome-Chan you're so peculiar but I love that about you." Rin giggled. "Inuyasha why not show Kagome to her room."

"Ok, come on bestie." He said shooting her look that said don't think about asking that question again. She smiled and bowed her head at his family before following behind him.

Later that night Inuyasha sat on the bed talking to Kikyo.

"I told my parents about you and they said next holiday you should come and visit." Kikyo told him while sitting on her balcony.

"That sounds good, I told my parents about you as well so maybe when the semester ends you can come visit my family."

"That would be exciting." She giggled. "What are you doing now?"

"Sitting in my room flicking through channels."

"Your sister-in-law had a baby right? What's her name?"

"Rika."

"Aww that's so cute. Take a picture of your nephew and nieces I would love to see them."

"Keh! If they hold still long enough, Rika I know won't move but Seiichi and Rima are a completely different story." He sighed deeply and she laughed.

"Well I hope you can make them stay still long enough take one picture."

"I will that will be my Thanksgiving present to you." He teased and she began laughing.

"Silly, you don't give out Thanksgiving presents." They both laughed before getting silent. "Well, I'm gonna go, I gotta help my mom prepare food for tomorrow but give me a call tomorrow or so."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Bye."

"Later." He then hung up and sighed deeply. If it wasn't for Kagome he doubted he would have ever worked up the nerve to talk to her let alone date her. Even though she gave him a lot of grief she also gave him courage in a strange way.

Kagome sat at the vanity in the room she was staying in. She turned on the light and sighed deeply as she stared at herself. All she saw was an ugly nerdy. Her eyebrows were thick, her lips chapped, her hair was a mess and she wore baggy clothes. Looking at Inuyasha's family she wouldn't feel right wearing her regular overalls to dinner tomorrow. She sighed deeply and tightened her fist but she didn't know what else to do she didn't bring any other clothes with her. She looked down removed her glasses as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She wanted to be with her mother and brother so bad she missed them so much.

Her stomach began growling and she moaned. She was really hungry. She figured if she asked Inuyasha then maybe he could get a snack or two for her. She walked out the door and then scratched her head. She forgot what room he was staying in.

"Kagome-Chan." She quickly turned around and saw Inuyasha's mother Izayoi. "What's wrong honey is everything ok?" She asked and Kagome began blushing. She wanted to ask his mother if she could draw a nude picture of her so bad but she promised Inuyasha she wouldn't anyone in his family that question.

"Oh I…um…oh…I…" She suddenly felt loss of words and couldn't remember what to say. Instead her stomach growled loudly and Izayoi giggled as Kagome turned beet red.

"Aw are you hungry? I wish you would've said something sooner. Please come in the kitchen." Izayoi gently took Kagome's wrist and led her to the kitchen where Rin was seat along with the Rika in a pink and gray bassinet.

"Kagome-Chan, hi." Rin waved and Kagome slowly waved.

"She's hungry so I'm gonna feed her something quick. Have a seat dear."

"A-A-Arigatou." She sat down across from Rin.

"Do you like grill cheese?" Izayoi asked and Kagome gasped.

"I love grilled cheese!" She exclaimed. Izayoi giggled and turned to the fridge. Rin looked at Kagome.

"Kagome-Chan, has Inuyasha seen you this way since you met him?" She asked and Kagome looked at her.

"Huh?" She titled her head to the side.

"You know with your glasses and overalls? Is this the only way Inuyasha has ever seen you?" She asked again and Kagome nodded her head.

"Yep, he usually reminds me every day to brush my hair or sometimes he'll brush it for me." She stated causing Rin and Izayoi to look at her.

"Inuyasha brushes your hair?" Izayoi questioned almost feeling stunned as Kagome nodded her head.

"Are you sure you're not his girlfriend?" Rin looked at her and Kagome giggled.

"Oh I'm positive, I don't date, anyway his girlfriend is named Kikyo, I helped him get with her. He always liked her but he was too shy to talk to her. He actually told me he had a hard talking to girls."

"That's true." Rin confirmed and looked at her mother-in-law who was stunned.

"But for some reason he never had trouble talking with me." She then laughed. "I guess it's from my weird style." She stated. Rin looked up and before smiling at Kagome.

"Say Kagome-Chan what kind of dress did you bring with you for Thanksgiving." Kagome then gasped and stood up. She bowed at bended waist.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't expecting to have dinner with beautiful people I didn't pack a dress. I only packed my overalls." She then looked at them. "I don't own a dress actually." She sighed deeply. Rin's face lit up and she placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder making her look at her.

"Can I give you a makeover please?"

"Rin." Izayoi began and Kagome looked at Rin.

"Are you sure? It won't take a miracle to make me over?" Kagome asked and Rin giggled.

"Let me see something." She removed Kagome's glasses and Izayoi's eyes went wide. She was really beautiful without her thick lens glasses. Izayoi had to wonder why such a beautiful girl worked so hard to hide herself in thick glasses, messy hair and baggy clothes. She turned back to the stove. Rin placed Kagome's glasses back on. "It'll be a lot of fun my dear."

"I like fun." Kagome smiled and Rin giggled.

"Me too. Inuyasha's gonna flip but it's gonna be fun." Kagome laughed and clapped.

Inuyasha then sneezed. He rubbed his nose before reading his textbook. He had so many finals. He looked at his phone and saw he had a text message from Miroku. He began laughing as he texted him back. He then began wondering how Kagome was holding up in her room. It really did bother him about Kagome when she was sleep. He sighed deeply. She was such a strange girl in more ways than one.
