Author's Note: Sorry if I updated late… Many things happened this week and I still feel weak (that rhyme). So if you're reading my other fics, it will be updated tomorrow or the day next. I still have to finish them then post them… Tired *fainted*
EXPLANATION: I did what I did because school is about to start AND when it starts I'll be there everyday (Monday to Sunday, poor me.) and I won't have enough time to do all. Hope you all understand…

Title of today's Chapter: An Enemy At House
"What the hell is SHE doing HERE?!!!"
"You have NO RIGHT asking question. I'm the only one who is SUPPOSE to." Inutaisho reprimand his youngest son.
"She's our neighbor Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru smirked at his brothers dazed expression.
"What?!!!"
"Don't be rude Inuyasha, where's the manners I taught you." Inuyasha just grumbled something incoherent looking away from the girl she teased from school.
Why on earth IS she here? He humped. No wonder I don't like this place one bit. Looking back at his father who seem to start lecturing his usual speech, he sighed. Not this again!!! Urgh…Anyone up there, help!!!
Kagome was glancing around the room. It sure was a mess and by the way the stove look she concluded it's broken. Are they always like this? She shook her head then an idea pop out of nowhere and directly to her mind. Turning around she cleared her throat. She felt nervous all of a sudden when she felt all the three's eyes fell on her.
"I…uh…I was thinking…"
"Your thoughts are of no use to us, wench." Kagome glared at Inuyasha who only in return just snorted and held his chin up.
"I'm sorry for my son's behavior…" The older man said extending his hand.
"None taken, good sir." She replied taking his hand with her small ones and shaking it firmly. "And by the way my name is Kagome Higurashi."
"Inutaisho Kinly call me Mr. Kinly if you like." He smiled genuinely. "And it's like you know my other sons here, maybe at school." Kagome nodded.
"If you like Mr. Kinly, I would like to invite you and your two sons to my house, next door, for dinner. That is if you don't mind it." Kagome invited skimming over the other occupants of the room who appeared to be looking at her in shock.
"Why my? Aren't your parents there?" Sesshoumaru asked and Kagome shook her head 'no'.
"They said they have something to do in the city and can't go back 'til the next morning." She explained looking at floor and then back at Sesshoumaru.
"So… who is going to cook? Don't tell us you have oven ready food because that don't taste that good (AN: Sorry for those people who eat this kind of food but well…)." Inuyasha disapprove of the idea as if he is the GOD of food criticizers.
"Oh… Don't worry my LORD I can cook if that is what you want to learn… and I don't put poison in any of the foods I make because I'm going to eat it with you." She replied sarcastically. Knowing full well the question that will come next if she told them she could cook and knowing Inuyasha he will always ask that making her feel like an assassin rather than a person offering her service.
"We're glad to accompany such a beautiful woman like you, Kagome." Mr. Kinly flattered, making Kagome blush a little with the compliment.
"That would be fine."
Entering the next house Kagome guided them to their couch saying that they could anything there while she fix dinner. After she left, Inuyasha reached out to get the remote from the table and turned it on. Flipping from channel to channel he settled on an NBA game, Los Angeles Lakers versus Minnesota Timberwolves and Lakers lead 12-7. Sesshoumaru just read a book, which he brought just in case of times like this, in the other end of the couch while Inutaisho, at the middle of the two, read the morning newspaper he bought when they went out for breakfast.
Kagome was in the kitchen cutting the carrots and all the while stirring the soup for the appetizer. She couldn't concentrate well. She trying to hear sound coming from the living room, which was only the grumbling of Inuyasha, how the referee should have called a foul and hadn't. She smiled. Why are you worried Kagome? They wouldn't try to cause trouble because Mr. Kinly is here with them. He could control them, right? He IS their father after all.
After making sure that the table setting was perfect, she called to them. Leading them in the dinning room she let them decide where to sit to make them feel more homely. Mr. Kinly sat at the head of the table, Inuyasha on his left side while Sesshoumaru on his right and that only left her to sit beside…*gulp*… Sess…Sesshoumaru. She looked at the cuisine that is place at the middle of the four to make access easier. She was denying to her heart that she didn't like sitting close to him or anywhere near him but with the thought she only redden and her heartbeat fasten.
The dinner was started with a prayer and that was the last uttered sentence or word for a while.
"So… Kagome what do you do?" Mr. Kinly broke the silence that was eating her up. She always talks at dinner especially with her parents. Telling them about my day and the new things I learn however the group didn't seem to talk during dinner and being a polite teen like her, she kept quiet.
" I live at Tokyo, Japan. And as you would already probably know, I'm still a student, a senior to be exact, at the same school your sons attend to. I'm a cheerleader there… Oops… I'm talking too much aren't I." She felt a little embarrassed, talking about this to the people she hardly even know.
"Not at all dear." Mr. Kinly comforted smiling warmly at the girl. "You're a talented girl. And from what I heard you do great in school, ay. Maybe you could tutor Inuyasha. He fails in practically every subject."
"That's not true." Inuyasha defended himself. Yeah, he fails many subjects but he didn't want his father to humiliate him in front of the girl he constantly tease. That would be too much.
"The food is great. Did you really do this?" Mr. Kinly asked. It's obvious that he was the only one she'll going to be talking all throughout the dinner.
"Yes, I learned it when I was in my Auntie's restaurant." She said proudly.
"It's really good. Isn't it?" He directed the questions to his two sons.
"Yeah." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Yes Father." Sesshoumaru said formally.
"Is it hard to learn?" Mr. Kinly was full of curiosity.
He sure is a curious cat isn't he? "Yup. After I nearly burned their kitchen, they taught me how to cook. After a month of teaching I was able to learn a few tricks in the kitchen. First you should learn how strong the fire should be in order for the food to cook but not burn nor over-cook…"
The dinner went on with Mr. Kinly telling lame jokes and asking more about Kagome. After dinner Kagome walked them to the door after a promise that she will teach him how to cook so no accident would ever occur again.
"Goodbye Mr. Kinly, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha." She waved goodbye.
"Goodbye." Mr. Kinly smiled. Sesshoumaru just walk straight to their house while Inuyasha grunted a 'goodbye'.
"Don't forget about tomorrow, okay?" He smiled and disappeared in the dark night.
"Sure."
Closing the door she went upstairs to take a bath and change. Walking out of her bathroom in her pajamas she proceed to her warm bed. This day isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It actually turned out well enough.
Sesshoumaru could tell his father like Kagome that much. Inviting her to be with them tomorrow shows it all too well. Why am I thinking about such things? He thought to himself angrily. Tomorrow is another day…I hope it turns out better than today. He then close his eyes letting blackness envelop him.
