Chapter 2
One Day
Kagome sat on a seat of a broken down bus, heading toward Tama Boarding School, for six moths she'll have to live in this place of hell, for no reason in her opinion. 'it's worth it, to be able to finally hit him back I wouldn't change this for a second' with that thought, she put on her headphones and pushed play, listening to Evanesence 'Haunted'.
a/n: that song is so sad, you should hear it some time, it makes me cry and brings back bad memories. ok, you don't need to hear this, I just thought I'd say something to you people who I really am happy at because your reading my story. ^.^ bts
She listened to the American music, tapping her finger to the rhythm on her knee as she watched the city change into a country road that made the bus bump.
She looked away from the window to the kids around her. There were only five on the bus, one boy that wore American style jeans like hers, two girls who looked identical and sat next to each other, both chatting something that she couldn't hear thanks to her blasting music.
One sat in front of her, sketching something on a notepad that looked like a manga style cat-girl. She watched the boy draw the lines from the crack. The bus hit a bump, causing her to mess up and erase.
Kagome watched her finish and turn the page. She always liked cat-people. She loved reading the manga and watching the anime to the Japanese style. It's the thing she loved most about Japan.
She remembered her favorite kid manga 'Tokyo Mew Mew' about the cat girl who defended the world. She loved Ryou the most, and always thought the cat-girl, Ichago, and him would get together.
She looked at the last person on the bus. The girl looked young and upset. She was clutching her backpack tightly and sitting behind the bus driver. She looked around and glanced at Kagome, who quickly looked away and back out the window, watching the scenery.
The bus came to a halt, and Kagome stood up, she pushed stop on her walkman, and grabbed her bags before walking off the bus that led to her torture. She looked at the building, there was about 18 town houses, and in the middle of nowhere.
She walked into the front desk, where many people gazed at her in fear. She enjoyed how they trembled. Remembering how her step-father trembled after that night.
She took the room number and key from the lady at the desk's hand, and walked out the door. House 18, the last one 'For charges of Aggression,' the card read. She walked around the place, until she got to the trailer house that was very far from all the others, she walked up the steps, and decided to knock, instead of barging in, because they said she had roommates, so she knocked and waited, then heard a crash, then someone run, and open the door.
"Yeah, whatcha ya need, Kikyo" a girl said, her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, and the tips of her really dark brown hair was red. She was wearing black pants that had red stars going up the sides, and a red shirt with one black star. American style. Kagome felt almost relived.
"Umm... I'm Kagome your new roommate, sent here by judges orders," Kagome said, pulling her suitcase up to the doors step.
The girl cocked an eyebrow, "Listen, Kikyo, InuYasha said he doesn't want to see you, so stop playin' around, I'm busy."
"Listen, you, my name is Kagome," Kagome said, brushing a piece of hair behind her ear.
The girl's eyes widened and she grabbed Kagome's suitcase and backpack, "Gomen, I'm SO sorry, you look just like this slut around here, oopps, I mean… you look WAY less sluttish, so don't worry. Hi, I'm Sango, but you can call me San or Sang or whatever, well, come in, you probably want to meet the gang, HEY INUYASHA, PUT YOUR HAT ON!" Sango said as Kagome wondered how she said that all in one breath.
With one of Kagome's hand Sango grabbed her and was now pulling her in and across the kitchen and into a living room, where two guys sat, one had short black hair that was pulled back into a small ponytail, the other had long silver hair, and he was wearing a black backwards hat, and was sitting on the couch flipping through the TV channels. He looked up and flushed with terror, jumping up and grabbing Sango's arm.
"SANGO, how could you let her in here, I thought I asked-" but he was cut off.
"Ohh pipe down InuYasha, this is our new roommate, Kagome, I wouldn't torture you THAT mealy," she cocked an eyebrow, "Or would I?"
The boy went pale, but he turned to Kagome and frowned, "Welcome, welcome, nice ta meet ya," he growled, then turned and walked to the couch.
The guy with black hair walked over and grabbed Kagome's hands into his own, met eye to eye with her, and asked with obviously no dignity, "Hello beautiful flower, I am Miroku, would you be so kind as to bare me a child?" His eyes were closed, and he flinch, getting ready for something.
Kagome's eyebrow twitched, "Wha?"
"Lecher!" Sango said loudly, hitting the boy in the back of the head.
Miroku let go of Kagome's hands and rubbed his head, "Give her time to answer before you hit me," he whined.
"Come on, your rooms with mine," Sango said, pointing down a hall.
Kagome nodded and grabbed her fallen suitcase, following her down the hall.
She passed an open door with clothes scattered all over and magazines pouring on the beds and tables. She glanced at one of the magazines that read 'Hentai'. Miroku's, she thought silently.
When they got to the room, Sango pointed to a bed, "That's yours," she said softly, pointing to another one across, "And that's mine."
Kagome threw her bag on the bed, and was gapping at how clean and perfect the room was.
When you enter the room, you see Kagome's bed on your right, the head board away from you on the right wall. Across from her bed was Sango's, who's bed sat against the left wall, the headboard also pressed against the front wall.
A dresser sat between the bed, a golden sun mirror in the middle. At Kagome's foot of the bed was a closet on the right wall that was open with the light on. Sango's half of the room was painted navy blue with silver moon at the hip of her bed and yellow stars. Kagome's half was dark baby blue/purple with a golden sun at the hip of her bed and light blue/white clouds.
An: There! It's not Black… shesh… what's wrong with black rooms anyway?
On the walls was many out curving candle holdings filled with different colored candles. At Sango's foot of her bed was a blue desk with a white computer onto and papers scattered across the top.
"So, whatcha think?" Sango asked, her hands on her hips, and seemed quit pleased.
"It's-it's awesome, I wish I could have such and great room," Kagome said, staring around the room.
Sango laughed, "It is! Well, for now anyways."
Kagome smiled, and started to unpack her things.
"Sooo... why are you here?" Sango questioned, tying to find conversation.
Kagome was quiet for a while, then spoke, "I beat up my step-father."
Sango burst into laughter, "Really, awesome, I," she wiped an imaginary tear away, "was sent here for almost beating my boy friend into a comma," Sango was still laughing.
She knew it wasn't something you brag about, but Sango didn't sound like she was bragging. She sounded like she was explaining… trying to forget.
"Wow," Kagome laughed, "what were InuYasha and Miroku sent here for?" Kagome questioned, finally calming down.
Sango smiled, "Ohh.. InuYasha was sent here for beating up his biological father, and Miroku was sent here for beating up a guy that stabbed his right hand with a pencil, we get out the same time though.. so... yeah... five months from now, me and the two are gonna move back to Tokyo with the rest of our old friends, when do you get out?" Sango's asked. Kagome sighed.
A/n: Ha, get it, Miroku was stabbed in his right hand, you know... his wind tunnel, ok, not so clever, so sue me...
"In six months," Kagome said, unpacking a pair of black jeans that had a dragon going up the pant leg.
"Ohh... that bites," Sango said, and watched her unpack, helping her occasionally. Kagome had a laptop which she set on the dresser on her side of the room, she had a bunch of animes which she stuck under her bed for now. When they were done, they walked out to the two men, who were sitting on the couch, playing a video game.
"Jeeze, the least you could do is make the new recruit feel welcome," Sango said sarcastically.
InuYasha kept his gaze on the TV, "What'd you do?" he asked, clicking a button to change the channel.
"Beat up someone," Kagome said, feeling slightly annoyed, he already got on her nerves.
InuYasha looked up from the TV, "Ohh yeah, who'd ya beat up?" he asked, his eyebrow cocked.
"My step-father," Kagome said, more irritated.
InuYasha had a surprised look, "Really?" he asked.
"Yeah," Kagome said, and sat down next to him, while Sango sat down on the floor next to Miroku.
InuYasha nodded in approval, before turning back to the TV, flipping to the channel Fuse, where they were playing the song 'Aoi Hitomi.'
Kagome, unamused, looked around the trailer, the living room was right next to the kitchen, and the kitchen is where the door was. Kagome looked to her right, and that was where the hall leads to her room, and the other two boys, along with a bathroom and storage room.
After awhile of sitting in silence, Sango got up and signaled for Kagome to come. Kagome rolled her eyes, but did as told.
"Sooo... do you drink?" Sango asked.
"Yeah..." Kagome said, watching as Sango dug through the fridge.
"Damn it, HEY, DOG BOY, I"M LEAVING TO TOWN TO GET SOME MORE BEER, DO EITHER OF YOU WANNA COME," she yelled.
A pause.
"NO," came the reply.
"ALRIGHT! Hey, you wanna come?" Sango asked Kagome.
"Uhh.. sure, why the hell not," Kagome said, and walked out the door with Sango.
"SEE YA TWO IN ABOUT AN HOUR," Sango yelled, and shut the door.
They walked out, to Sango's black '92 blazer, that had silver celtic designs on the side.
"Soooo, whatcha think?" Sango asked, grinning at her prize possession.
"It's beeeaaauuutiiifuuul! I wish I still had a car," Kagome said, grinning.
"Yeah, everyone wants this blazer of mine," she hopped in and turned the key. Loud music blasted through out the blazer, as Kagome got in and smiled.
"I ALSO LOVE YOUR SYSTEM," she had to yell, over the very loud music.
"YEAH, ME TO, I HAD INUYASHA PUT IT IN, HE ROCKS AT THAT SORT OF SHIT," Sango yelled back, grinning from ear to ear. She sped down the driveway, and at the office, she got out and motioned me to come, I did as I was told.
Sango walked in to the lady Kagome had met earlier (kinda) and grinned, "Hey Sana, me and Kagome are going into town, well be back in two hours at the most," Sango said, waving at the poor bored woman on the other side of the desk.
"Yeah- whatever, just sign out," she said, and pushed a clipboard across the table. Sango signed and then showed Kagome how to do it.
When they were done, Sango walked out smiling and waving.
"They let you leave, like that, and all you have to do is sign out?" Kagome questioned.
"Yep, well... kinda, when you come back, you have to sign in, and you have to be back 5 minutes before midnight of that day, and then you can't leave until 4:00 am, just so they know you are here," Sango said, jumping in the car before turning it on and turning down the blasting music.
"So why don't you just leave this place, and only stay for four hours?" Kagome questioned.
"Because, not enough gas in the world, and you have to go to school if you don't want to get 24 hour restriction, and plus, this place to me is just free housing, but other then those three things, you can do whatever you want," Sango smiled.
"I guess... but what's 24 hour restriction?" Kagome questioned.
Sango's smile became bigger, "It's when you brake a rule, such as not sticking to curfew, or not going to school... that stuff, but anyways, what they do is make you sit in a chair for 24 hours, you won't get food, at least not anything good, and you have to do worksheets all day," Sango shivered and smiled, "I loved it."
Both Kagome and Sango burst into laughter.
"Oh, and every week you have to see a counselor, now they are the ones everyone's got trouble with." Sango added.
About a half an hour later they reached the bar, and Sango turned off the car and walked inside.
"Why not go to the grocery store?" Kagome asked.
Sango grinned, " Because we're under age, and I have a friend in here who will sell it to us," Sango said, winking.
Kagome and Sango walked in and a couple whistles were heard, and more, "Come here honey, daddy's a little horney."
Sango glared at the men (or should I say PIGS) but continued walking until she came to a woman at the bar, holding a tray of beer, she smiled at Sango, "Out already, ehh, Sango dear," she asked, and gave her a huge grin.
"Yeah, I'll take three twelve packs, ohh, and meet my new roomie, Kagome," she said, pulling Kagome into a sideways hug. Kagome blushed, but waved at the smiling waitress.
"Hey, nice ta meet ya," She said, and walked over to a couple men that were sitting at a table, before smiling at Sango, and walking to the back of the bar. She returned with a guy, caring three cases of beer. Sango smiled and gave her a $20.
"Adigoto, Kia, see ya 'round," Sango said, waving.
"Later hun," Kia said, and Sango left, followed by Kagome and another guy holding the cases of beer.
"Adigoto, Akito, see ya 'round," Sango said to the guy, and then hopped in her blazer, followed by Kagome.
A/n: Akito from Kodocha is sooooo cool! drools
"Bye Sango," the guy said, and walked back into the bar.
Sango started the blazer and drove off.
Kagome watched the buildings to the town pass her by, then they came to the grocery store.
"I need some junk foodies," Sango said, turning off the car and walking inside, followed by Kagome.
"This, and this, ohh and this," Sango said, walking down the candy aisle and grabbing everything in sight. A bag of Heresy's Caramels (the BEST caramels), two bags of pickle chips, a huge bag of sweat tarts. Kagome sighed. Never has she had so much junk food in one cart.
On and on. Sango grabbed a twelve packs of Pepsi, "The only good pop," she had said, smiling.
"I disagree," Kagome said, grabbing a six pack of vanilla coke, "This is also very good."
"You know, Pepsi pissed me off when they stole Coca Cola's idea for vanilla," Sango said, frowning at the twelve pack she got.
"I agree. Pepsi was my favorite pop till they stole Cola's idea," Kagome sighed, "So I've been drinking vanilla Coke ever since.
"Yeah, but even for the right of Cola, I'd never give up Pepsi," she said, smiling.
More and more junk food filled the cart, "Your gonna rot your teeth out," Kagome said, pointing to the cart.
"Maybe, but sugars worth it," she said, smiling.
Kagome sighed, "But lucky you, you're so skinny yet you eat so much junk food," she said.
"Lucky me," Sango said, smiling.
"I guess," Kagome said, grabbing three boxes of strawberry pocky.
A/n; POCKY POCKY POCKY *nibbles on pocky* YEAH!
"Here," Sango said, walking over to the fruit and vegetable section, grabbing 6 pomegranates, and a bag of carrots, "This is healthy."
Kagome smiled, "The fruit of the goddess. The ONLY good fruit besides watermelon and banana's," Kagome said, smiling wider.
"And cherry's and strawberry's," Sango said, pointing a finger at the fruits.
"Then grab them," Kagome said, grabbing a box of Strawberry's as Sango grabbed a bag of cherry's.
Soon they left the store with a very full cart of $264.87 worth.
"How do you have so much money?" Kagome asked.
"My parents send me 200 dollars a month, I save up," she said, smiling, "they think this whole boarding school thing is a load of shit. They think I had the right to hit my ex… my dad gave me $50 bucks when I told him. They're both rich. Mom's a lawyer and Dad owns a Bug exterminator business…"
A/n: Get it? Please tell me you get it…
"Really," Kagome said, smiling.
"Yeah… funny how much money you can make being the owner of a bug exterminator business…" Sango laughed.
"Think of how much money you could make being the daughter of one," Kagome added and both laughed/
Kagome already felt close to Sango. Knowing her for one day didn't seem to matter so much.
When they got 'home' Sango got out and said with a medium voice, "INUYASHA..." 10 seconds later, out popped InuYasha with Miroku, who ran over to the car, and picked up four bags each.
"ACK!" Miroku said, staring at the watermelon, "Did you actually go near the fruits and vegetable section?"
"Yeah, what of it?" Sango asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"It's just, this is a magical day in history," Miroku said, looking up and whispering a 'Thank you.'
Swiftly Sango hit Miroku over the head with a bag of Heresy's chocolates.
"Ouch," he moaned, rubbing his head, "Did Kagome get you to do it?"
"Actually yes, want to make something of it?" Kagome answered for her.
"Like Sango already," InuYasha muttered, walking in and walking back out.
"No, just even I couldn't get Sango over by anything healthy," Miroku sighed, "The downs of love."
"Where's the beer?" InuYasha asked.
Everyone blinked at him. While they were arguing, InuYasha took in all the groceries except the ones in Miroku's hand.
"In the passenger's floor," Sango said, pointing to the blazer in amazement.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ka-Go-Me, Ka-Go-Me," Sango cheered as InuYasha and Kagome both chugged down their beers. Kagome drank it all first, and Sango cheered, as Miroku patted a very unhappy InuYasha on the back.
"YA, in your face, InuYasha," Kagome yelled, completely drunk after going through one case of beer.
"Keh," InuYasha spat.
"Hey, sore loser," Kagome said, smiling.
"I'm going to bed," Miroku said, standing up and trying to walk to his room. InuYasha got up, not so drunk, and helped him to his room.
"Yeah, I need bed," Sango also said, standing and trying to walk to her room also. Kagome got up and stumbled to the couch.
Sleep consumed her as InuYasha walked out into the living room. He glanced at her sleeping body but ignored her and picked up the empty beer bottles.
"Please don't leave," Kagome mumbled in her sleep, brushing a hand over her face and rolling sideways.
InuYasha watched her as she tossed and turned mumbling sentences and phrases.
He picked her up, and looked down at her tear stricken face that softened when he had held her up. He thought about waking her but brushed the thought to the side. He turned and carried her to her room, laying her down on the newly made bed and covering her body with the white sheet.
"Stupid girl," he muttered softly, sighing and sitting down beside her bed on the floor. 'If she doesn't quit in five minutes I'll wake her up…' InuYasha thought silently.
He looked at her intently, and she started crying again. 'How can she do that in her sleep?' InuYasha thought suddenly.
Kagome turned and placed her hand on InuYasha's, making him blush deep red.
She felt the nightmare wash from her and she gripped onto his hand tightly.
"You," she mumbled.
'She has a death grip,' InuYasha thought painfully, looking around for an escape.
"Don't leave," Kagome said for the second time, squeezing his hand tighter.
InuYasha looked down at her saddened face and calmed, sitting down more comfortably, keeping his hand on her bed.
'She smells like cherry blossoms,' he thought, taking in a long breath of her scent.
Kagome took another tight grip of her prince and loosened her hand, her breath easing out into a steady rhythm.
He looked down at their hands and blushed again, picking up her hand softly and removing it, putting it down on the bed and creeping out.
He looked back and shut the door silently, walking back into his room and sitting down, staring at the ceiling full of questions, not expecting answers.
A/n: ahh... how cute, to bad I won't let them get together till WAY later, I mean, chapter 20 later, or maybe sooner, depends on if you review or not... well...
Ja ne ^.^
