Chapter 11
Just Friends
Knock, knock
Sesshoumaru opened the door to his new apartment. He sighed. Standing there on the doorstep of his dorm room were Inuyasha, his little brother and his brother's equally little girlfriend Kikyo.
"Why are you here?" He asked coldly.
"Well me and Yash were in town because there was no school today. I told him it would be a good idea to visit." She flashed him a well-meaning smile. Sesshoumaru sighed. Kikyo was a nice girl and for some reason he always felt bad turning her down.
"Well isn't that…nice." He gave a fake smile to the two of them. "Uh…come in. It's kind of a mess though."
Calling his dorm a mess was an understatement. It was more like a disaster. Boxes of pizza, used cups of ramen and old sushi containers was scattered through out the living. This thoroughly confused Inuyasha who only knew Sesshoumaru as a crazed neat freak.
"Again sorry about the mess, it's my roommates. He had a party here last night. I was actually about to spend the day cleaning it up. I'm gagging everywhere I walk." He then led them into his spotless bedroom.
Now there's the Sesshoumaru I know! Inuyasha sighed with relief. He always found it immensely terrifying when his brother acted out of character.
"Well I can see you're busy. I guess I'll see you at Christmas!" Inuyasha grinned finding an excuse to leave. Coming down to Sesshoumaru's dorm was all Kikyo's idea and honestly Inuyasha didn't like spending too much time with his brother.
"Yeah. Great thanks…" Sesshoumaru smiled back. If there was one thing Sesshoumaru could count on his brother for it was that he knew when to leave him alone.
"Oh don't be silly guys! Sesshoumaru don't worry, Inuyasha and me will help you out! We'll be done so fast we'll be able to go out to dinner together!" She smiled wide.
At that moment Inuyasha wanted to dump her. Then her smile brought him back again.
"Uh…if that's ok with Sesshoumaru it's ok with me." Inuyasha sighed.
Kikyo looked expectantly as Sesshoumaru. He sighed. "Ok fine." Kikyo smiled and hugged Sesshoumaru. "This is going to be so much fun!"
Inuyasha twitched and felt a pang of jealously as Kikyo quickly pressed her body against Sesshoumaru's.
Sango came running excitedly into Ayame's room, startling Kagome and Ayame.
"Kuranoske asked me out today!" She beamed and twirled around happily. Her friends joined her, jumping up and down excitedly.
"Oh my gosh! When's the big date?" Ayame asked excitedly. Sango was about to answer, but Ayame kept going on. "How did he do it? Did he call you or ask you in person? Did he call you in order to meet in person? Was he nervous? I bet he was nervous. He's definitely the type of guy who goes on and on before spitting out what he really wants to say. What are you going to wear? This is your first date right?" Sango nodded, already exhausted from Ayame who went on. "Ok you need to wear the right outfit. This is crucial for a first date. I'm thinking something green or pink. Those are SO your colors and your make-up should be light. You don't want to look like a hussy! Do you know where he's taking you? Hopefully it'll somewhere casual, but still romantic. If he takes you out to a fancy, shmancy place be careful! Guys who spend money on girls on the first date are either creepy, awkward nerds who don't deserve your time or sleazy guys only out for one thing…then again if the guy is known to be really rich you can let it slide! That's why I let Kouga take me to that fancy French place on our first date." Ayame sighed and looked at her friends who were lying on the bed groaning. "What's the matter with you guys? Oh no I hope you aren't getting sick! Especially you Sango! You can't afford to get sick at a time like this! What would Kuranoske think?"
"Ayame…" Sango said slowly.
"Yes?"
"I'm going to go home now." Sometimes Ayame was way too much to handle. Sango thanked the gods she didn't live with her. Little did she know they were future roommates.
"Ok!" She smiled. "Come on I'll walk you out!"
Ayame walked Sango out of her room giving her more dating tips, with Sango groaning loudly all the way down the hall and stairs.
Kagome laughed and shook her head. Her friends sure knew how to entertain her on a lazy Sunday afternoon. She was about to go follow them out when her new cell phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Kagome? It's Inuyasha! I need you…" He whispered desperately.
Kagome fell off the bed. He needs me. She smiled.
"Hello? Earth to Kagome!" Inuyasha whispered loudly.
Kagome snapped back to reality. "Oh hey Inuyasha, what's up?"
"I need you to come down and meet me at Sesshoumaru's dorm…" He said quickly. "Now! Please hurry!" He added.
"Why?" She stood up and started pacing around Ayame's bedroom.
"Because I think Kikyo and Sesshoumaru are flirting it's creeping me out."
"What? Inuyasha you're jumping to conclusions. Sesshoumaru doesn't flirt. It's against his stoic nature. Besides he's way too old for her."
"So was Naraku." He countered.
"They weren't really dating Inuyasha." She reminded him.
"Ugh…whatever! Now stop pacing and just get over here!"
"How did you know I was pacing?" Kagome blushed. He knew way too much about her.
"I could just tell ok." He groaned. "Just come over."
"I don't know…" She sighed.
"Come on Kagome…I've done a lot of stuff for you in the past, the least you could do is help me out."
"Ok fine. What's the address?"
Inuyasha gave her the address. She hung up and said goodbye to Ayame.
A half hour later Kagome showed up at Sesshoumaru's doorstep.
"More of you…" Sesshoumaru groaned and slammed the door on her surprised and insulted face.
"HEY!" She yelled while banging on the door.
Sesshoumaru reopened the door. "Forgive me for my rudeness. I had no idea my day would be ambushed by three children." He sighed and sat on the couch.
"CHILDREN?" Inuyasha clenched his fist. "I'm no kid Sesshoumaru!"
"What ever." Sesshoumaru said nonchalantly.
"So…" Kikyo grimaced standing next to Kagome awkwardly.
"So…" Kagome sighed and answered back clenching her own fist.
Inuyasha then remembered how much Kikyo and Kagome hated each other. Oh crap. He wondered how the dinner would go.
Kagome, Inuyasha, Kikyo and Sesshoumaru all sat around a small table in the restaurant. Much to Kagome and Sesshoumaru's discussed Inuyasha and Kikyo were being lovey-dovey and feeding each other. Kagome was incredibly upset Inuyasha dragged her into the situation. It took all the might she had not to show her feelings to them.
Sesshoumaru groaned. How do I get stuck in these situations?
"So Sesshoumaru…" Kagome started.
"What?" He replied coldly.
"Well…Inuyasha and Kikyo are on a date and then there's the two of us…does that mean we're on a date?" Kagome said, attempting a joke.
Sesshoumaru smirked and decided to have some of his own fun.
"I don't know Kagome. Maybe. Want to head back to my place and solidify it." His smirk grew wider and he leaned forward seductively.
Kagome leaned back. "No, no I'm good…"
Sesshoumaru started chuckling. Kagome realized what he was doing. She threw her roll at him. "God! You're such a jerk Sesshoumaru!"
"And you're annoying." He retorted.
"Hey don't insult my friend." Inuyasha said suddenly.
"Look I can't help it that she's so annoying ok. Relax Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru took a bite out of the roll Kagome threw at him.
"You relax!" He stood up and clenched his fist ready for a fight.
"You know Inuyasha, if I didn't know any better I'd think you were defending a girlfriend." He grinned at Kikyo who didn't take the comment well. She looked at Inuyasha and Kagome, both blushing from what Sesshoumaru said.
Kikyo shook her head and ran outside. Inuyasha ran after her.
"Kikyo wait up! Where are you going?" He said catching her by the shoulder.
"HOME!" She said angrily.
"Why?" He asked confused.
"Because Sesshoumaru is right! You treat Kagome like she's your girlfriend or something!" She cried.
Inuyasha started laughing. "Are you serious? Kikyo she's just a friend. You know that. Look I love Kagome, but like a sister. I can't treat my sister like a girlfriend, that's beyond nasty and incestuous! Trust me Kikyo I'm not into Kagome in that way whatsoever! I bet if she stripped down naked right now I'd barf at the sight of it."
Kikyo giggled, but Kagome wasn't thrilled. She poked Inuyasha's back. He turned around and his face went red.
"How long were you standing there?" He asked nervously.
"Enough to know that you'd barf at the sight of my naked body…nice way to talk about a friend! JERK!" Kagome stormed off.
"Kagome!" He called out. Kikyo grabbed him by the arm.
"Let her cool down…come on let's go back inside." She smiled at him.
"Ok…" He said and went back in with her.
Kagome looked at them heading inside the restaurant happily. She shook her head and held back her tears as a cab pulled up at the curb. She got in and decided she couldn't like Inuyasha like that anymore. If only she could supress those feelings...
Oh man…it's getting so hard to write lately. I hope you're still all enjoying!
