Kagome knocked on the doors of the Tendo residence while Inu-Yasha was mumbling about not wanting to apologize. After a few seconds, Kasumi opened the doors and welcomed them in.
"Hi, I'm Tendo Kasumi," said Kasumi. "Who are you looking for?"
"Hi, I'm Higurashi Kagome and this is Inu-Yasha," Kagome pointed at Inu-Yasha. "Um, we're looking for Saotome Ranma."
"Oh, right this way." Kasumi said as she led them inside the house. "He's in his room right now. He was injured during a fight in school, but he's all better now."
"Oh, really!" Kagome said trying to sound surprised.
"Yes, and that usually doesn't happen. Ranma is a pretty powerful martial artist," replied Kasumi. "I wonder who injured him."
"Yes, I wonder who," said Kagome as she directed an accusing glance at Inu-Yasha.
In return, Inu-Yasha stuck out his tongue at Kagome.
"Well, here we are," said Kasumi as she stopped in front of a door. "Just knock. If you need anything call me."
"Ok," Kagome replied to the retreating figure.
After Kasumi disappeared down the stairs, Inu-Yasha turned to Kagome and said, "I'm not apologizing."
"What?!" Kagome raged as her eyebrows started twitching.
"He attacked me first!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed.
"Well, you almost killed him," Kagome retorted.
"It's called self-defense, bitch!" shouted Inu-Yasha.
"Oh my god, Inu-Yasha. You're unbelievable!" Kagome exploded.
Suddenly the door in front of them opened, and a sleepy Ranma appeared.
"Excuse me, but some of us are trying to sleep in here," complained Ranma.
"Oh, sorry," Kagome said looking embarrassed. "But, I just brought Inu-Yasha here to apologize to you."
Ranma eyelids suddenly shot up upon hearing Inu-Yasha's name. He looked around until he saw Inu-Yasha. He pointed at Inu-Yasha and shouted, "You! What are you doing here!"
"Ha, as if I wanted to be here," said Inu-Yasha as he crossed his arms.
"You won't be so smug in a week," said Ranma.
"What going to happen in a week?" asked Inu-Yasha mildly surprised.
"I'm going to beat you to a pulp in a week. Noon time at school," stated Ranma.
"Ha ha ha. Yeah, right," Inu-Yasha said.
"What? Are you afraid to lose?" mocked Ranma.
"What! I'm not afraid of a wimp like you," Inu-Yasha exclaimed. "I'll see you next week at noon at school so I can beat your ass!"
"Fine!" Ranma said as they stared at each other intensely.
"Come on, Kagome let's go," said Inu-Yasha breaking the stare and walking away.
"B-b-bu-but," Kagome stuttered. "You guys can't have a battle. You guys can get hurt!"
"It's alright Kagome, this is the only way we can solve this," Ranma stated. "You better catch up with Inu-Yasha. I'll see you at school."
"Ok, then, I guess." worried Kagome. "Bye."
After both Inu-Yasha and Kagome got outside, a limo arrived and stopped in front of them. A chauffeur came out and went up to Inu-Yasha.
"Greetings Master Inu-Yasha. I'm sorry I was not here this morning and that Master Sesshomaru had to drive you," the chauffeur bowed.
"Yeah, yeah yeah. Whatever," Inu-Yasha said absently.
"Are you ready to go home, sir?" asked the chauffeur.
"Yeah, ok," said Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha turned to Kagome and asked," Hey, you want a ride home?"
Kagome did not answer, but the word shocked was practically written on her face.
"Hello? Anybody home?" Inu-Yasha asked as he waved his hand in front of Kagome's face.
"H-how come you have a limo?" questioned Kagome when she finally came out of shock.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just rich is all," Inu-Yasha said casually as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
"But you can't be rich. You don't even live in this time!" exclaimed Kagome.
"Is it so hard to believe that I'm rich?" questioned Inu-Yasha.
"Yes!" Kagome retorted.
"Come on, let's just drop this, alright?" said Inu-Yasha. "Do you want a ride home or not? If you keep asking me questions, I'm just going to leave you here."
"Yeah, sure," said Kagome. "But I'm gonna fine out sooner or later how you mysteriously got rich."
"Yeah, whatever," said Inu-Yasha as they entered the limo and headed for home.
