The Boy Who Overcame Time
Chapter 4


"I still can't believe you dumped Hojo." Eri said from her spot by the window.

Kagome just shrugged. Her room mates just didn't understand. How could Hojo hope to compare with someone who waited a thousand years for you. It had only been one week since Inu Yasha had shown up at the park. Her call to Hojo the following day hadn't gone well at all. She hadn't told Inu Yasha but Hojo had frightened her the way he had been going on. She had finally had to hang up on him. He had tried to call several times since then, if you call once an hour on the hour several.

"Oh my god he's gorgeous." Eri's attention was riveted to something outside.

"Who? Where?" Ayume and Yuka asked almost in unison rushing towards the window.

"The guy in the black leather by that silver motorcycle." Eri pointed.

"Ok mine!" They all said.

Kagome smirked and went to look out the window, she had a feeling she knew who they were looking at. Sure enough there was Inu Yasha standing by a motorcycle with helmet in hand. She tapped the glass and he instantly turned and looked up, a smile lit his face as he waved to her. "No girls, to quote a song from a really campy old movie, the boy is mine." She turned and grabbed the yellow backpack. "Gotta go, see you Sunday night."

"Hold it girl." All three left the window to surround her. "You aren't going anywhere till you tell us the whole story of how you met Mr. Drop Dead Gorgeous, and if he has a brother."

"No time. Tell you all about it Sunday Night." She shouldered her way past them and opened the door. There he stood, black jeans that looked poured on, black tank top emphasizing every muscle in his chest, the black leather jacket was almost too much. His silver hair pulled back in the ever present ponytail. "It hides the ears better." He had told her. Her eyes drank him in. 'God' she thought 'he should have worn black more often.' "I'm ready."

"Great, let's get going. Here let me carry that." He took the backpack from her and threw it over his shoulder.

"Ummm Kagome aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Eri called sweetly.

"Eri, Ayume, and Yuka this is Miroku." She would never get use to introducing him as Miroku but he had insisted, and even shown her his drivers license to prove he was using the monks name. "Miroku this is Eri, Ayume and Yuka."

"Nice to meet you ladies." Pleasantries over he turned back to Kagome, "Shall we..."

"Miroku, why don't you sit down and visit for a while." Ayume purred at him as she led him away from Kagome and into the apartment.

"Yes, we don't know a thing about you." Yuka said taking the backpack from his hand, handing it back to Kagome.

Inu Yasha looked at Kagome his eyes begging for rescue. She didn't disappoint him. She looped her arm through his and steered him back towards the door. "Bye roomies see ya Sunday." She called shutting the door behind them.

"Thanks. I didn't want to be rude or anything. So you ready to go?"

"Sure am. So where are we going."

"Well first I thought you might like to visit Sango and Miroku's graves. Then maybe do a little trip down memory lane. Sound good to you?"

"Sure does."

"Besides I think we need to get out of town. Hojo has been following you and I can't exactly protect you in Tokyo. I want him out in the open where I can face him on my terms."
