Reunion at the Bus Stop
Kagome pulled herself out of sleep, turning towards the window finding it dark, cloudy, immensely overcast. A rumble of thunder gently sounded, as she got out of the old, yet somewhat comfortable bed. She went over to the small dresser and closet to retrieve clean clothes, just a pair of baggy black JNCO jeans and her red baby tee with Emily and her cat, and exiting her new room and entering the small bathroom.
Laying her clothes on the small counter, she cut on the water to allow it time to warm up and undressed. There was no lightning yet, so it would be safe to take one, as long as she hurried, storms come in rather quickly. She got in the shower and washed. The water was lukewarm, not as hot as she would have liked it to have been, but at least it wasn't cold. After drying off and getting the clean clothes put on, she looked into the mirror at her sad, confused face. She missed Inuyasha, remembering how he had looked at her after he recovered from being slammed into Koga's stomach and Sango's basement floor.
'Well, I guess now is a good time as ever to remove my bull ring. I will miss this piercing. I enjoyed winning the bet, but it hurt so bad when it was done. I'm just glad I didn't get a bigger gauge.' she thought, removing the ring from her septum. She looked a little different now, 'I think a change would be good. I think I'll get my hair cut. But how? I don't think Kagura would like me to get something crazy or outrageous, that means liberty spikes and Mohawks are out. Hmmm.. A Chelsea, that would look cute. I'll get that done today. Maybe no one would recognize me. I hate thinking like this, but everything is too good to be true in the West hills.'
She shook her thoughts to the back burner of her mind and went back into her room. The apartment was silent. She saw that it was close to 9 am, surprised at herself for waking early.
'Kagura must still be asleep. I'll leave her a note that I decided to go out and run a few errands.' she decided, stopping at the kitchen to see a set of keys with a piece of paper underneath. Shoving the keys in her front pocket, she read Kagura's small neat handwriting.
Kagome,
Hey, I have to do a double shift today, one of our girls called out. Here is your set of keys for the apartment. I have directions to different places, our address in case you get lost if you go out today. Ha ha. Sorry. I don't want you to get lost, this place is different from New York. Maybe I'll see you later tonight, and don't be afraid to make yourself at home!
Late,
Kagura
"nice. I appreciate that." she whispered to herself reading the information, then folding the paper and sticking it in her chained wallet.
She looked in the refrigerator, grabbed a can of Pepsi, and left the apartment.

"Sango, I'm at a payphone out side of the Bank of America. They said she withdrew $100 yesterday at an ATM near the Airport. We need to go back out that way and look around." Inuyasha's tired voice announced, answering the hello he'd just received.
"Okay. It's 8:30 in the morning. I'll wake Miroku up. We'll be ready by 9." she yawned.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. Oh, I gave the bank your cell number. I told them to watch the account closely, and call it when they see the card being used, that we were trying to find someone who had run away. I think they are only doing it because of the bastard who helped create me. I'll be there a little before 9." he stated angrily and hung up.
Sango looked confused at the receiver. What was going on? She pulled herself out of the guest bed, showered and changed, then made her way up to Miroku's floor. Surprised to see him dressed and ready to go.
"What are you doing up and ready? I figured you would be still asleep." Sango questioned narrowing her eyes at him. He wore baggy blue jean shorts, and a green ninja turtles tee shirt. (A/N: dude, the ninja turtles rock!)
"No, I woke up when I heard your phone ring, which you left that up here you know, and I picked up the house line when it rang. I just didn't say anything you answered too quick." giving Sango a cocky smile as he explained.
"ok. Well, lets go downstairs, Inu will probably be here soon, if not already." Sango shrugged, heading down the stairs.
Miroku stared after her for a moment. She looked pretty, even though her face was downcast with worry over her friend. Her hair pulled in a pony tail, black skants, and white fitted tee looking absolutely great on her. He snapped out of his thoughts when she heard him yell to him from downstairs.
"Inu is here! Get your ass down here Miroku!" her voice yelled again, this time a little more distant.
'I better hurry.' he thought running down the two flights of stairs.

"Remember, don't speak of what you've found, and why your going to leave, let's worry about finding Kagome." he muttered to himself as he watched Sango and Miroku jog over to the Explorer.
"Hey, Inu. What's with all your stuff being back there?" Miroku questioned as he got in the backseat.
"Don't worry about that right now, we have to find Kagome." he replied a little cold. Dropping the hint to Sango and Miroku to keep quiet and not ask questions pertaining to him.
"Okay.. Well, do you want to stop for breakfast? We haven't had anything to eat. Some nourishment would be nice about now." Sango asked quietly, looking at Inuyasha who made an annoyed face.
"fine, I guess. I haven't ate anything either." he finally agreed, giving into the rumbling in his stomach Sango had caused by mentioning eat.
They decided on the drive thru at jack in the box, and continued to downtown. Inuyasha looked at the time as they reached the airport to turn around. 10 am. Sango jumped in surprise when her cell phone went off.
"hello?" Sango said in surprise.
"Hello. This is Marilyn from the bank. We've been tracking use of an account with us, I was told to contact this number when it's been used."
"yes, can you give us the location?" she said nervously
"It was used at a hair salon. The address is 9234 Washington street." she woman said.
"Thank you so much. We'll contact you if we find her." Sango said hanging up the phone, looking at Inuyasha, her eyes with excitement, " 9234 Washington, we just passed Washington a couple of blocks ago."
Inuyasha drove as quickly as possible. Scanning the streets, looking at the people walking around. A girl with short black hair styled in a Chelsea, a red shirt, and baggy black pants was stopped and waiting at a bus stop. He pulled the Explorer over quickly. He wasn't sure, but he had a good idea that it was Kagome. He threw the vehicle in park, and jumped out. Leaving his friends confused. Sango shut off the engine, and locked the Explorer after Miroku got out, and they ran after Inuyasha.

Kagome decided to sit down and wait for the bus to come. She had just missed the last bus by 5 minutes, and now she had to wait 15 minutes until the next one came. She sighed as she plopped herself down. She liked her new hair cut, it turned out good. Looking at the gloomy, and more threatening sky above her, someone called out to her. Her head snapped in the direction, she saw Inuyasha, in the same clothes he had had on yesterday, running to her.
"Inuyasha?!" she gasped, her eyes widening. Her feet planted on the ground under the bench, feeling her body tense up as he reached the bench, and looked down on her.
"Kagome. I'm so happy I've found you!" he exclaimed wrapping his arms around her.
"Why were you looking for me? I didn't want to be found!" she mumbled confused.
"Because, you are important to me." he answered, his golden eyes burning into hers, "why did you leave?"
"I thought you were mad at me…" Kagome admitted, forcing her eyes down away from his.
"why did you think that? Actually, I was a little afraid of you. I will explain later though." he whispered to her, looking behind himself to see Sango and Miroku finally catching up.

Kagura and Kanna were speaking to each other at the restaurant about their new roommate. Kagura glanced out the large windows, noticing a girl with short black hair, getting out of a black Explorer in the small parking lot outside of the restaurant. The girl was with three people around her age, another girl and two guys, as they approached closer, Kagura noticed that it was Kagome. But who were the people with her?
"Kagura! Kanna! I would like you to meet my friends." Kagome called cheerfully to them entering the restaurant.
Kagura and Kanna looked at each other, then walked to Kagome and her friends.
"Kagura, Kanna," Kagome began a smile on her face, "this is Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku. Guys, these are my roommates Kagura, and Kanna. And this is where I'm going to be working."
Inuyasha was quiet, somewhat polite. But felt odd, like he'd met the girls before. He felt danger, but didn't feel he should tell his friends. He followed Kagome to a table and sat beside her on the outside of the booth. He needed to talk to Kagome alone. But listened to the chatter that Miroku, Sango and Kagome were making. He felt Kagome poke his side, and looked down at her.
"Are you alright?" she asked, eyes lit up.
"Yeah, just glad your safe." he mumbled and went back into thought.
Kagome looked at him with a curious face, but went back to Sango and Miroku's question. They ordered and ate a small lunch, when they went to leave, she told Kanna and Kagura she would see them later, leaving with Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku.
"Doesn't HE look familiar?" Kanna asked with guilty eyes, and a sad face.
"why, yes, yes he does." Kagura replied, her face falling.
"I feel bad for doing that for Naraku. But, getting an affordable apartment is unreasonably hard." Kanna admitted.
"I do as well. Kagome can never know of the real friendship between Naraku and us." Kagura stated.
"I agree. He would want to kill us. But he looks over that bitch he was with, he and Kagome look happy together." Kanna offered.
"Yes, but, he does still remember her in a fond way at times. The resemblances of Kagome and Kikyo are quite uncanny, they could've been twins." Kagura replied, looking back out the window.
"We will not interfere in this relationship, no matter what Naraku says. He has Kikyo, so I doubt he'll be wanting much to do with Inuyasha anyways." Kanna stated firmly.
"You got it. Well, back to work." Kagura said, putting on a smile and welcoming people to the restaurant.

Kagome rode with Inuyasha to drop Sango and Miroku off, she wanted to get the rest of her stuff, and talk to Inuyasha. Sango gave her a hug through the window, and Miroku just waved threatening to lock her out of the house. Kagome giggled at the two of them and yelled goodbye. Inuyasha started off.
"Inuyasha, why are your things in the back of the Explorer?" Kagome asked in a serious tone.
"I cannot live at my house anymore." he said quietly, turning onto Kagome's old street.
"Why not? Where are you going to live?" she demanded, seeing him flinch at the tone of surprise in her voice.
"Don't get angry. I will explain all in good time. Let's just get your things." was his mechanical response, turning into Kagome's driveway.

They got the rest of her clothes together, dirty and clean alike, and she grabbed anything she really wanted out of the red room that was once hers. She took the sheets and bedspread off the bed. Inuyasha found it funny, but helped her anyways. She wanted all of her stuff out of the room, but she knew that the Explorer didn't have that much room. "We'll just sneak back another time for it." was her sneaky statement she made as she got back into the Explorer.
As they approached downtown, Inuyasha parked in the deck that went with the building Kagome was staying in. They parked and grabbed her stuff, and carried it to her apartment. Inuyasha was amazed at the size. It wasn't all that small, but it wasn't big either. Kagome looked at him weird, her eyes narrow.
"What? Not good enough?" she asked a little defensively.
"No, it's just kinda small." he replied.
"Oh. Okay. Inuyasha, do you want to just stay here with me tonight? I'm sure Kanna and Kagura won't care. I'll call them at work right now."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Stay right here, let me call them." she said, leaving him in her room. He heard the front door open and another girls voice.
His ears twitched during the conversation she had with the girl. The girl, Kanna, he'd discovered from Kagome's greeting, said she didn't care and neither would Kagura.
Kagome bounded happily back into the room smiling. "Well, lets go get your stuff. You'll stay here with me until you get everything accomplished. Not sure what all it is, but you said you couldn't stay at home any longer."
"Okay, well, I'll go get my stuff. You just stay here and make room." he replied, relieved that she was so willing to help him out.
"Yeah, good idea." Kagome said, unpacking the rest of her clothes, as Inuyasha walked out of the room.
"How long do you need to stay?" Kanna asked suddenly behind him, making him jump.
"Sorry," he said embarrassed, "just until I can get an apartment of my own. I shouldn't be here for more then a week. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for allowing me to stay here."
"no problem. Kagome is a sweet person. I don't know her very well yet, but she is a very good natured person." Kanna said with a smile.
"Yeah. Well, I'm going to go get my things." he said quickly.
"Okay, don't get lost on the way back." she said with a giggle, watching Inuyasha duck out of the apartment nervously.
****Well, that's all for now. I keep glancing at Trigun and losing my train of thought. Ha ha. There, they found Kagome in the next chappy. I've decided that Kanna and Kagura won't be evil. But they are not punks, there just going to be kind of weird. Hee hee! I hope you guys liked this alright. I'm getting sleepy.. And Trigun being on doesn't help, it's funny! Well, press the fun button below! Wow, that sounded so bad.. LOL… anyways. Yeah.. R&R!
