Life Isn't Fair
Chapter Three:
The Start of a New Beginning
After Inu Yasha and Kagome left her mother at the airport, it was about an hour and a half drive back to their house. You can just imagine the uncomfortable silences, the weird looks, and the fidgets here and there and a lot of gauche stuff going on in the car…
Sure they made small talk here and there, but it just died once it began. Inu Yasha didn't seem to be having any problems with it, since he was dead tired from his trip. He just wanted to get home and get some sleep!
On the other hand, Kagome already figured out that Inu Yasha was tires, from the slight bags under his eyes, the yawns, and the way he tried to keep his eyes open so that they wont crash and die. Kagome slightly laughed at this and Inu Yasha stared at her with an odd look.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked, not wanting to keep his eyes off the road, then they would crash and die
Kagome turned to him and smiled. "Nothing! I was just thinking something funny."
"Well, like what?" It's always like this hanyou to ask what Kagome was laughing at, staring at, frowning at, etc…
'Uh oh, I should of never laughed. Damn!' Kagome thought now remembering how stubborn this guy is. "Nothing, I just thought of something funny about one of my friends."
Inu Yasha's ear twitched. "What friend?" You could see that he was being serious now.
"Some friend…" Kagome trailed off. "Hey look! It's a cow!" She said, trying to change the subject. There was really no cow.
"Stop trying to change the conversation! What friend?!" Ok, now Inu Yasha was getting slightly pissed.
Kagome sighed; she tried to have patience but it wasn't working as much as she'd hope for it to. "My friend Kouga!" Kagome spat out. "You just can't let anything be can you?" she said, arms being crossed on her chest and slouching down in the car seat.
'Hmm, Kouga…' Inu Yasha seemed to have remembered his name from one of the periods he had. 'Kouga Wolf. Damn, its 3rd too'. "Stop being a baby about it! I was just asking a question!"
Kagome scoffed. "I am NOT being a baby about this! It's you who's being a baby!" she said. "Forget it, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Besides, we're almost home." Kagome said looking once again out the window. They were only about 10 minutes away from home.
Inu Yasha took logged into his brain that he pissed off Kagome. 'I have to stop doing that' He took mental note of that.
The rest of the way home (which only lasted about 8 minutes) was an angelic one. No one pissed off anyone and so forth and so on.
Inu Yasha parked the car inside the driveway of the huge house. Kagome got outside and opened the door of the house.
"Souta? Souta? You Home?" Kagome called into an empty house. From not getting a response, she knew that he was next door with the neighbor, still. Suddenly the phone rang. Kagome went to answer it and to her surprise it was Sango, her bestfriend.
Inu Yasha saw Kagome talk on the phone, but wasn't really interested so he went to the kitchen to see what was there to eat. There, he found his favorite food in the world… Ramen! (AN: Yup, you guessed it)
Took him about 5 minutes to get the ramen done but when it was boy did it taste good! Kagome walked over to him, she wanted to tell him something.
"I'm gonna go out, but before I do I want to show you the house so you wont get lost" She clearly stated.
Inu Yasha slurped down the rest of the Ramen and cleaned his face with the napkin Kagome gave him; she seemed to be laughing at him.
"You missed a spot." She said giggling.
"Where?"
"Right here." Kagome pointed her index finger to his nose. Unfortunately his brain isn't all that smart. He seemed to want to get his nose with his tongue, which made Kagome laugh even more. She got the napkin from his hand and wiped it off herself, like a mother would do to a child.
Well this clearly wasn't very smart since it made the blushing appear again. Inu Yasha blushed ever so lightly. 'I have to stop doing that' He said to himself.
Kagome was blushing as much as he was for the same reason. 'Damnit Kagome! Stop this blushing! It's getting ridiculous!' She thought. (AN: Tell me about it… -_-*). Well, they both broke apart and Inu Yasha followed Kagome outside.
She showed him the pool, gym, tennis courts and everything else that was outside. Next they went upstairs to show Inu Yasha his room. All the guest rooms were next to Kagome's room so she told Inu Yasha to pick what room he wanted. He looked at each one of the five rooms carefully, until he picked out one that had matching blue walls and furniture, but he picked it because it had a bigger bed than the other four.
Kagome showed him where the bathroom was, the den and the attic. She wasn't quite sure why she showed it to him, but then figured he might want to put away something in the attic.
"Well, that was the whole house, now you can have fun to your heart's delight. I gotta go." She said grabbing her purse. "Oh yeah, Mom said you can use the same car you drove today, or you can pick one from the garage."
"The garage? How many cars DO you own?" Inu Yasha said, a glint of happiness in his eyes. 'Cars! Yay!' he happily thought.
"Quite a few. The keys of all the cars are in the den." Kagome said leaving the house already.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Inu Yasha called out.
"I'm going to Sango's house. She's my best friend. I'll call you later. Call me if you need anything. My cell phone number is in my room. Just go in and you'll see it on the right. I'll be back later! If Souta comes home and asks where I am just tell him I went to Sango's." Kagome was already inside her car calling out instructions to the poor, tired hanyou.
Inu Yasha, being as exhausted as he was, didn't hear exactly what Kagome said, but thought it was unimportant. All he heard was Sango, Call, Number, Friend, Room. He figured that must have covered everything she said in five words. He yawned and said to her to take care of herself and simply dragged himself up to his room.
Kagome smiled at him and felt sorry for him. He looks horrible. When she came back she would bring Inu Yasha home a surprise! She got in her car and left to Sango's house.
*--- At Sango's house ---*
Arriving at Sango's house, Kagome finds Sango outside waiting for her. 'What the…' She thinks as she pulls up in her driveway.
Sango comes running up to her car and says, "We need to go somewhere else, I have some great news to tell you!"
Kagome just nods in agreement and Sango gets in her car, they decide to go to a nearby little café shop. Both of them order a cup of coffee.
"So what is it that you want to tell me? That is great news?" Kagome asked anxiously.
"I met a guy!" Sango squealed out with joy. "I met him today!"
"Really? Where? How? And how come you didn't want to talk about it at your house?"
"To answer all your questions: yes, at Kohaku's friend's party. I bumped into him by accident." She said happily still drinking her coffee.
"Really? What's his name?" Kagome said as she sipped her coffee.
"Umm…Miroku" Sango said then blushed a little. "He's 23."
"Really? He's as old as Inu Yasha." Kagome said unconsciously.
"Who?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you? My friend came to live with me; his name is Inu Yasha."
"Oh, was that that guy you were telling me about? Something about you older cousin and him?"
"Yeah, that guy." Kagome murmured a bit angrily, she really didn't want to remember that bitter memory.
"Didn't you say he was going to work at our school? Maybe I'll get to see him, or better yet I can go to your house. I'll even bring Miroku along."
"Sure that'd be great." Kagome said. "Oh yeah, before I forget why didn't you want to talk about it at your house? About Miroku?"
"Oh, it was because I wanted to get coffee!" Sango grinned at Kagome. Kagome only rolled her eyes at her.
"Dumbass" Kagome scoffed at her. Kagome looked at her watch and it read 8 p.m. "Shit! I have to go home! I have to take something home for Inu Yasha."
"Want me to come with you? I have A LOT of time to spear." Sango said.
"Sure! Lets go!" Kagome said paying for the coffee, grabbing her purse and leaving with Sango out the door towards her car.

Kagome was heading back to her house after buying Inu Yasha a small gift. She didn't know why she did, but it came from the goodness of her heart.
When she opened the door of her house, she smelled food, very delicious food that made her mouth water.
'Wow, what's that smell?' She thought, then as if by magic, she was lifted up and carried into her house in the kitchen where she found Inu Yasha cooking.
"Hey, whatcha cooking?" Kagome asked with a smile on her face. She set the bag on the floor so he wont see what she got him.
"I'm making dinner for me, you and Souta. It's the least I can do." He said stirring the soup in one pan and checking on the food in the oven. It seemed like he was making a feast.
"Oh ok, let me go upstairs and take a bath. When I come downstairs I'll help you ok?" Kagome said loosening her hair from a ponytail to her loose hair.
"Ok, sure take your time. Souta is upstairs in his room." Inu Yasha said informing her. Kagome smiled and went upstairs.
"Oh! Before I go upstairs, I wanted to give you this. I picked it up when I went out." Kagome said reaching inside the bag and pulled out a little stuffed rabbit that little babies sleep with. It had buttons for the eyes and the nose. It was a soft blue color, especially made for a baby boy. "I remembered when you told me that rabbits were your favorite animal."
Inu Yasha grabbed it and smiled. He felt kind of embarrassed that a 23-year-old would receive a gift meant for a baby, but he accepted it anyways. "Thanks"
Kagome smiled and headed towards her room.
To her surprise when she arrived at her room, she found a red rose on top of her bed. To it a note was attached. Kagome was confused. 'Who would of sent me this?' she thought. She walked over and picked up the rose with one hand and the note in the other. When she read the note she blushed.
The note said:
Kagome,
I'm sorry for the argument in the car.
I know that I always haven't been the most rational person but I want you to know that I want to make it up to you for what happened when we were kids.
- Inu Yasha
Kagome blushed a little more and felt she was in heaven. This was going to be a new beginning of a beautiful friendship… or even a relationship…
(AN: Ok, that was kinda dull *sigh* Sorry bout it… I wanna thank everyone who reviewed. It means a lot to me.)

Reviews:
Cherrymecha: Kagome and Inu Yasha will have a relationship at some point in the story. People will start wondering about their relationship, but it will mostly consist of students, not principals and staff and stuff like that.
