Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, Inuyasha owns me!

A/N: 3rd chappie! YAY! I'm so happy that I got two reviews. They were only from my friends, but hey, at least someone is reading this! Now, on to the story!

Chapter 3: When worlds clash

Kasumi rushed to answer the door.

'It must be our guests!' she thought as she opened the door.

"Hello! You must be the Higurashi family! We are so glad that you came to visit our home.

"Thank you. You're Kasumi, right? This is my son Souta, my daughter Kagome, and her friend Inuyasha."

"Pleased to meet you, come in, dinner is in the oven right now." Kasumi said, gesturing for them to follow her.

"This is the kitchen, here's the living room, there is a bathroom down the hall and the training dojo is that way."

Having looked around, they followed Kasumi upstairs.

"Kagome, you and your mom will be sleeping in here along with your other friend when she arrives."

"You mean Sango, right?"

"Yes, she is arriving in two days if I'm not mistaken."

Kagome nodded.

"Alright, the boys will be sleeping in these two rooms; I'll let you decide who's sleeping where. In the mean time, why don't you go have some fun, I'll call you when dinner is ready." Having said that, Kasumi smiled and returned to the kitchen.

Inuyasha immediately turned to go downstairs to the training dojo, shortly followed by Kagome. Souta went to the car with Mrs. Higurashi to start unpacking things.

Ranma was in the middle of fighting Akane when Inuyasha and Kagome walked in. They were fighting because Akane had poured cold water on Ranma while he was trying to defeat Kuno, and Ranma had been glomped by Kuno repeatedly before he could escape.

"Akane you uncute tomboy! Why did you have to go and do that!" Ranma shouted, still in his girl form, and something Inuyasha was quick to notice, was that he/she wasn't wearing a shirt.

Akane shouted back at Ranma, completely unaware that two now very red people had just walked into the dojo.

"Ummm……hello?" Kagome said, still very embarrassed. Inuyasha was still staring dumbly at the two fighters.

Akane suddenly realized that two other people had entered and quite hastily jumped in front of a very dumbstruck Ranma, her face turning several shades redder.

"I'm so sorry!" Akane stated quickly. "We rarely have visitors here; Ranma doesn't really feel the need to wear a shirt." 'Although the only reason he isn't was because I got it wet', she reminded herself.

"Th-that's okay" said Kagome, who was now covering Inuyasha's wide eyes with her hand "just have your friend put a shirt on from now on….for Inuyasha's sake", she said, pointing at the dazed hanyou.

"Sure." Replied Akane, hurrying to get a dry shirt for Ranma.

Once Ranma was dressed entirely, Kagome removed her hand and started giggling uncontrollably at the look on Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha gathered himself up and walked up to Akane to introduce himself. He was still way too embarrassed to even look at Ranma. Kagome watched in absolute amazement as the two started a detailed conversation on fighting techniques and styles, soon laughing and sharing past experiences, Inuyasha not mentioning any demons of course.

'How can he get along with her so well?! He never talks to me like that!' Kagome thought as she became more confused and frustrated by the second.

Meanwhile, Ranma was thinking the exact same thing about Akane.  

A/N: Another chapter done! I'm sooooooo tired! I had to do a huge presentation on my science project on Thursday and I haven't been getting much sleep lately. It's 12:30 am right now, but it's Friday night, so I get to sleep in! This week has lasted way too long. I hate 8th grade. Well, enough about my problems! I will try and get another chappie done this weekend and I'm hoping to get the other characters in as soon as possible. Please R/R!
