Talking Can Lead To Changes In Attitude
*********************************************
The walk back to Kagome's apartment started out in awkward silence. Neither of them really knew what to say to the other since every other time that they had talked they had only yelled at each other. Since Inuyasha couldn't stand the silence one-minute longer he decided to break it.
"So where are you from anyway? I can tell by the way that you talk that you aren't from around here." He asked her.
"I'm from Japan. I have been studying in extra courses so that my English would be good enough to go to school over here. I guess that I wanted to fit in as much as possible. Besides, who wants to go to school where people can talk about you and you don't even know it." She said with a small laugh and looked over at Inuyasha. "Oh and about before I am really sorry about running into you. I was actually trying to get away from Kouga and it didn't seem to work out the way that I wanted it to."
"Feh, it isn't that big a deal I just wasn't in a good mood that's all. So you don't like Kouga? See he was telling me that you were his women and you just weren't ready to say it in front of people yet." He said to her with a slight smirk on his face.
Kagome still couldn't believe the stupidity of Kouga. "Argh I can't believe him, even when I told him to his face that I didn't want to be with him, he still didn't get the point. What does it take to get through that guys thick skull anyway?" she huffed and turned towards Inuyasha hoping that he would be able to give her an answer since it seemed that he knew the guy.
"Feh, how should I know it hasn't happened yet. Once that guy gets an idea into his thick skull, I don't think that there is anything that can get it back out again." was the reply that he gave her before he started to chuckle slightly. "Looks like you are going to be stuck being 'his women' until you go back to Japan and even then he might follow you there." He laughed a little harder at that comment. "Man I think that I am actually starting to pity you."
"Yeah I can sure see that." Kagome said sarcastically when she heard him continue to laugh lightly at her situation. "Maybe I will be able to avoid him for the remainder of the time that I am here in the states." She said with a sigh.
"And how long would that be?" Inu asked her before he even thought about the words that were leaving his mouth. 'Why would I want to know how long she is going to be around? All she seems to do is get on my nerves. Well on second thought, right now she is being ok.' He was pulled out of his thoughts when she answered him. "Well I am hoping to stay here through college. So I guess that would be about 6-7 years." She replied to him. Then she decided to add "Do you think that it is possible to avoid someone for that amount of time?" She asked back before starting to laugh. Inuyasha laughed with her at that question. As they were laughing, Kagome wondered why he had asked her that question in the first place. 'I thought that he didn't want anything to do with me. That he was only walking me home because he didn't want to feel bad if something were to happen to me. Oh well, maybe this means that we will be able to be friends after this.'
They were so into the conversation that it took Kagome a minute to realize that they had reached their destination. "Oh well this is where I am staying. Thank you for walking me home even if you didn't really want to. It was nice having a conversation with you that didn't involve us yelling at each other."
"Yeah it was nice and it was no problem me walking you home. Like I said before, I really didn't want to be at the party in the first place." He replied to her. Then she asked him "Then why did you guys have one, I mean it is your apartment as well right?" she was wondering why Miroku would throw a party at his place if his roommate didn't want anything to do with it.
"Well I have been friends with Miroku for a long time and he had told me that he met these girls, meaning you and your friend, and told you guys that he was having a party. So since this was already said, he told me that he couldn't have you guys showing up and thinking that he had lied just to get you there so he convinced me to go along with it. He owes me big for this one also because he made me actually stay for it. I would have just gone out for the night otherwise."
"Well if you want, you could stay here for awhile because I am sure that the party is still going on. I think that I am just going to head to bed but the couch is open if you want it" she told him without really thinking about what she was saying.
"Are you sure that you want me around, I mean we didn't really get off on the right foot." He asked her. She seemed really nice now that he had given her a chance. Maybe they would be able to hang out more. He really wanted to get to know more about her. She was definitely different then the other girls that he had met so far in his life.
"Yeah no problem" Kagome replied to him. Then she thought of something else "Hey tomorrow do you think that you could show me around the area. I mean you said that you grew up around here, right? And we could get Sango and your roommate to come along as well. What do you think?"
"That sounds fine. I have to go to my brother's in the morning, but after that I could swing by here and get you and your roommate." He said to her. This could work out well. He would be able to get to know her without having to ask her to go on a date with him. Dates always made him nervous. Group things he could do though. That was as long as they were small group things. "Well come on in. If you need anything, feel free to ask me. Umm I am going to go and get you some blankets, so you can go sit if you like." And with that Kagome proceeded into the house and down the hall into her room. When there she grabbed the extra blanket that she had in one of her boxes and grabbed a pillow off of her bed. With those things in hand she proceeded back out to Inuyasha.
"Here you go, I am sure that you will get more sleep here then you would have at your apartment since I know that you hearing is so good and it was really loud there. Besides parties like that don't end until really late." She said to him as she handed him the items that she had retrieved from her room. "If you need to use the bathroom it is the second door on the right down the hall and the kitchen is behind you if you need a drink or something. I went shopping so there is some food if you get hungry. If you don't have any questions I am going to head off to bed."
"Thanks and I am fine. Won't your roommate be a little confused when she gets back?"
"I'll leave a note on the front door and her room to in case she misses it. See you in the morning, good night."
"Night, Kag and thanks"
"It's no prob at all" Kagome replied as she slightly blushed at the fact that he had called her Kag but since she wasn't facing him, he didn't see it. I can't believe that I invited him to stay when I don't even know him that well. But I do feel safer with him staying here instead of being by myself until Sango comes home. And with that thought she headed into her room to get some sleep. She was dead tired after this day.
***********************************
'I can't believe that I am staying at her apartment. Why did I agree to do that? I mean yeah it would have sucked trying to sleep at my place, but why do I feel so comfortable staying here? Well I also wouldn't want her to stay by herself. Gah where are these thoughts coming from.' He stopped his thoughts momentarily to take in his surroundings. He could tell that they hadn't moved in completely because the place was still kind of bare.
'Maybe I am having these thoughts because I am too tired. I will have to see about it in the morning. By then my mind should be clearer and working more properly.' And then with this thought he lay himself back on the couch and drifted into a light slumber.
********************************************
And there we go another chapter down. I know that it was short and there was no Miroku or Sango but like I have said before, this is mainly Inuyasha and Kagome. Plus I wanted to get you guys something new quicker then I have in the past. Hope that you liked it. So till next time please read and review. Love you all.
