Chapter Two

Ukyou walked outside and told Inu-Yasha and Kagome that Mr. Tendo had accepted to the staying with his family. She also informed them that they would hafto figure out on they're own what room they were to stay in. After a hearty greeting from Mr. Tendo and Kasumi, and quizzical looks from a panda, Kagome and Inu-Yasha walked upstairs. Kagome came to the door of Akane's room, and knocked.

" Go away you stupid ! So what if I'm not cute! I don't care! I'll get my revenge on you this evening, Kasumi said I could make dessert! " Kagome leaned back in surprise, then knocked again. The door slammed open " I SAID GO AWAY YOU STUPID PER—oops! Uh…heh…sorry, I thought you were someone else ". Akane blushed and then looked up as Kasumi came upstairs.

" Akane, these are our guests, Kagome and Inu-" " Guests? I only see this girl here Kasumi! " Kasumi and Kagome looked around confusedly. Kagome looked worried, thinking, " Where'd Inu-Yasha go? " Then Kasumi turned back to Akane, saying, " Anyway, he probly went off somewhere, you know how boys are. Anyway, this is Kagome Higurashi, and her and her friend will be staying here for a while. Could Kagome share your room with you Akane? "

" Uuh, well, er…. Where would she sleep? There's not much space in my room actually…." Kagome set down her bags " It's ok, maybe I should stay somewhere else? " " No No no, it's ok! Maybe Nabiki will let you stay in her room ". Kasumi walked over to Nabiki's door, followed by Kagome and Akane—who was curious to know if Nabiki would say yes. Kasumi knocked. " Who is it? "

" It's your sister. Open up " Nabiki opened the door, and looked curiously at Kagome. " Nabiki, this is Kagome Higurashi. Her and her friend will be staying here for a while. Can she stay in your room? " " 100 yen a night ". " Why Nabiki! Surely you wouldn't charge a guest for-"

" Kasumi, I charge everyone. Why doesn't she stay in Akane's room? Unless of course, she'll accept my offer." " No thanks. I'm just wondering where-" Akane cut off Kagome saying, " Ok, I guess you can stay in my room…C'mon, let's get you settled ". thought Nabiki as she watched the 2 girls walk away. After Kagome had gotten 'settled' Akane said " So? Who is your friend? "

" My friend? Oh…I don't know where he went ". " He? " " Yeah. His name is Inu-Yasha ". " Oh, I see…I guess he'll be staying with Ranma then…" Before Kagome could ask who Ranma was, Akane was called down by Kasumi to come and make dessert. Akane rushed out, saying, " sorry but gotta go " and ran downstairs. Akane bumped into someone as she reached the downstairs. She took a step back, saying, " oops sorry. Excuse me…" And then she looked up. A guy wearing baggy black pants, a rude shirt, a navy-blue baseball cap backwards and a cool pair of sunglasses said,

" Uh, I-it's ok…So uh…" Before Inu-Yasha could say it, Akane said it first. " Who're you? " " I'm Inu-Yasha. The friend of Kagome's. So, did you actually decided to let her stay in your room? You seemed pretty angry at first…Or did she back down before you even answered? " " I'm letting her stay in my room. All that happened was an accident. Have you seen a black-haired pigtailed boy anywhere? " " No. I just went on a walk cuz uh…I just wanted to explore a bit. I did see a redhead girl being chased by an old man though…"

Inu-Yasha walked upstairs and didn't notice Akane roll her eyes, thinking I shoulda known .

Minutes later Seconds later Minutes later Kagome made a signal at Inu-Yasha, which meant ' stop it or I'll say sit '.

He stopped, and backed up. Then he yelled at Shampoo " GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! " and surprisingly, she did. Then he turned around, and blushed. Everyone was staring at him.

Kasumi said softly " Oh My! " and walked back downstairs dazedly. Akane and Ranma stood, eyes wide mouths gaping. They both closed their mouths with a snap however, as Inu-Yasha turned to glare at them. They both whispered " Cool ". Ranma asked, " So Inu-Yasha, know any martial arts? Any type of fighting? "

" I don't know any 'Martial Arts' but I COURSE I know how to fight! I have a sword ". Inu-Yasha drew out the Tetsusaiga. Without thinking, Akane said, " What a crummy-looking sword! " Inu-Yasha snarled at her. " It may look crummy now, but when I use it in a certain way…it transforms into a-" " Very cool non-crummy looking sword " Kagome finished the sentence for him.

" C'mon Kagome, let's go get the Shards " Inu-Yasha said, walking down the stairs. " We don't know where it is, remember? " Inu-Yasha froze in mid-step, yet stayed there too long, and fell down the stairs. Nabiki handed him his hat and sunglasses, saying, " You'll find Shampoo and her sis and Grandmother at their café. The Nekohanten otherwise called the ' Cat café '. Oh and by the way, I agree with Tairi on what she told me ".

" What did Tairi tell you? "

" You have a great butt ".

Inu-Yasha growled. " What's with girl's and my ass? " he pondered aloud.

Akane and Kagome grumbled, and Ranma laughed, and had soon run off.

Inu-Yasha had just turned around when he heard a squeal of delight from behind him. He turned his head slightly to look behind him. He saw the same redhead girl he'd seen before, the one who'd acted weird. She wore a miniskirt and a tanktop, and as she bent down to closely inspects Inu-Yasha's behind, he gulped as he looked at her cleavage, and then he erased the thoughts from his mind, and glared at her. Her eyes were big and dewy, and she fluttered her eyelashes and smiled sweetly at him as she stood up primly and stopped inspecting his behind.

" Whadda ya want? "

" I want to give you a compliment Inu-Yasha sir! "



" Ok. What's your compliment? "

" YouhaveaspectacularbuttandyourjustohsogorgeousandIthinkthisisloveatfirstsightandohyouareSUCHahottieoohyouratotalmachomachototallycoolhottoughhunk! "

" HUH? "

" I just LOVE your ass! "

Inu-Yasha stood there, stunned, staring at the girl like she was an alien from outer-space (which in his opinion, she was. He'd never gotten compliments from girls before—or pretty much anyone for that matter--and actually found it quite scary).

" Y-you you—"

" Yes it's true! I just absolutely LOVE your ass! "

Ranma-chan smiled mischievously to herself, and no one else noticed her.

She repeated. " I LOVE your ass! "

Inu-Yasha blushed a DEEP red color.

Then before Akane could smash her/him, Ranma-chan happily skipped away…the skipping soon turned into running, as Ranma-Chan quickly changed into her normal red vest and black pants, quickly found a kettle of hot water, and then the usual goose-chase began.

This time Akane was REALLY angry!


Kagome turned her back to Inu-Yasha, saying, " That was just so…Your such a ed jerk Inu-Yasha! " " Hey, it's not my fault girls love my ass…and you don't seem to be complimenting me on it ".

Kagome grumbled, saying, " Of COURSE not! I don't bother to look for those type of things in guys, especially if its YOU! I'm NOT that type of girl, you know that! Your such a jerk sometimes ". " Hmf. Anyway, I'm going to get the Shikon Shards ".

Kagome, her back still turned, said, " NO! Inu-Yasha, we can't go now! Because that Shampoo girl probably just got there and told her Grandmother about it, so they'll be ready. And that Reini girl we're looking for might be out on the lookout for us, or she might not even be there. And you have no clue where in Nerima the Nekohanten café is. We should rest tonight, and then get a taxi there tomorrow morning. That makes sense doesn't it? "

She turned around.

" Inu-Yasha? "

" He's been gone for a while ".

" WHAT?!

Stupid Dog-boy jerk! "

And with that Kagome stomped out of the house to go after Dog-boy.
