When All Else Fails
Chapter-2
Kagome shifts in her seat. 'I'm so excited I can't sit still' she smirks. "What the hell are you staring at?" She snaps at a guy that just would not relent staring at her.
"I'm sorry miss, but your so."
"Shove it. I don't want to hear it." She feels the man's gaze slide slowly up her long legs. "If you mind, those are not for you to look at you perverted asshole." She glares at him, normally scaring anyone else, but he just smiled.
"Names Kouga." (A/N big surprise here) He extended his hand.
"And you think I'm going to tell you my name? You got another thing coming." She sets her hands in her lap. He quietly whistles to himself. 'He cant be much older than me. college student? Is he at the same college as Miroku?'
"Aw come on, just tell my your name."
"Do you do this to every girl, or is it my lucky day?"
"I'm not usually like this, but your beautiful." He licks his bottom lip; Kagome catches what seemed to look like a fang.
"Spare me." She shifts nervously.
"Are you taken?"
"EXCUSE ME?!" She jumps up.
"You heard me, I said, are you taken?"
"Fuck you and go to hell, I don't need this mushy bull shit from someone I don't even know." She grabs a pole as the train stops and she gets off as soon as the doors open and darts for the next one.
*
"Inuyasha.?" Miroku pokes his shoulder.
"Hm?" He looks away from the window.
"You're not going to win Sango, you know that."
"Feh." He huffs as he looks back out the window. "I've known that from the day I met her, but I'm a sore loser Miroku, you should know that." He stares at the mountains.
"Yeah, you'll find someone special. I'm just hoping it's not my cousin."
"What would you do if it was?" Miroku smiles at Inuyasha's persistence.
"As long as nothing forceful happens. She may not be your type, don't get your hopes up too far."
"Yeah, and she's better than Kikyo."
"Everyone, everyone's better than Kikyo, you just got the bad egg.that's all." Miroku pulls into a parking space and shuts off the car. "Just imagine yourself with Miss Perfect." Inuyasha smirks.
"Don't tempt me." He raises an eyebrow.
*
"Why do you insist of following me?" Kagome turns and faces Kouga. He stops mid-breath.
"I'm not, I'm going back to my school."
"You go to." She pales.
"3rd Year." He smiles, Kagome looks down. "What year are you. 1st, 2nd.?"
"Neither." She smiles knowing far well she was much younger than he is.
"Don't tell me you're a senior?" He steps back.
"NO!" She shakes her head. "No; I'm here to see my cousin."
"Where do you go?" he studies her face.
"No where you know of, I'm still in high school." Kouga smacks himself and laughs. "What?!"
"Heh, high school? What year?"
"I'm a senior, heh. You thought." She begins laughing, causing him to smirk.
"Since you're here do you want to-"
"No. She immediately straightens her face. "Not a chance in hell." Kouga catches her off guard and uses the opportunity to kiss her. She quickly pushes him off. "What the fuck do you think your doing?!" He growls at her.
"Don't interrupt me." He goes in to catch her a second time, but instead of catching her lips he meets her fist. Blood quickly rushes out his nose. "You little bitch!!" Kagome smirks as the train prepares to pull into the station.
"Aw, did lil ol' me make big angry Kouga upset?" Kagome teases the boy, then makes her way out the door.
*
Miroku checks the arrival times and dock. "We have just enough time. Come on." Inuyasha just pushes his way through the crowd. "If we're at the right dock her train is right there." He points to the incoming train. The doors slide open as people pour out of them; many searching for loved ones. The 2 boys make their way closer searching for Kagome.
*
Kagome steps off the train searching for her cousin. "I'm so lost in this big group of people." She whispers. She suddenly sees someone familiar. "Miroku!"
*
Hearing his name called he sees Kagome pushing her way through crowds of people. "Kagome!" Kagome quickly drops her bags and hugs her cousin. "Long time no see babe." She play punches his face.
"No kidding." She smirks. Miroku remembers his roommate.
"Oh, gomen. Inuyasha my cousin Kagome; Kagome my roommate Inuyasha." Kagome smiles sweetly as Inuyasha gawks. "You've changed Kagome!"
"Yeah, the last time you saw me I was still in." she places a finger on her chin. "Middle school? Do I look any older?" She laughs.
"Don't do that Kagome. You look older in more ways than one. Why didn't your mom send me any pictures?"
"I don't know, I'll have to ask her about that. She's odd at times."
"At times? Kagome, it's been 4 years!"
"Yeah, I'll have to talk to her about that. Your roommate doesn't talk much does he?" She raises an eyebrow and smirks at Inuyasha who is being murdered from the inside to try and keep his mouth shut.
"I warned him if he wasn't nice, I'd lock him in his room."
"I could lock you in your room faster than you could catch him." Kagome laughs and her cousins scowl. "Deal with. OH! My luggage! Can we head there now?"
"We could, but are you hungry?" Miroku grabs Kagome's arm.
"Now that I think about it." Kagome puts a finger on her lips.
"Inuyasha could you go get her luggage, and I'll go take her to get you a hamburger or something."
"Miroku, why don't you go get my luggage, and I can get to know Inuyasha a litter bit." Inuyasha looks at Miroku.
"But I haven't seen you."
"I know! I'm here for 3 weeks, I think we'll have some time to catch up on things?" Kagome pleads. Miroku looks at Inuyasha who is silently pleading with him, causing him to sigh and stare at the ceiling.
"Fine, fine. You touch her your one, dead, dog."
"You're a pal Miroku!" Inuyasha laughs.
"Thank you." Kagome whispers in Miroku's ear as she reaches up to hug him. "Be back in a few." She looks at Inuyasha. "Shall we?" He nods. Kagome begins to walk away, leaving Inuyasha a few steps behind. He sends a silent thanks to Miroku as he catches up to her. Miroku watches the 2 walk away.
"What am I going to tell your mother if you hook up with my roommate, Kagome?" Miroku walks the opposite direction shaking his head. "She'll never let me see you again."
(A/N: I could of left it there, but I thought I'd be nice.()
*
"Inuyasha?" Kagome looks up at him through her bangs. He looks down at her,
"Yeah?"
"You don't talk much do you? You're awfully quiet over there."
"I'm trying to behave myself. Your cousin will kick my ass if I don't." He smirks looking ahead, causing her to smile.
After 10 minutes of aimless wanderings Kagome settles on a burger. They sit across from each other. Inuyasha snags one of Kagome's fries. "Go get your own if you want some." She smiles.
"Oh, but they taste so much better if their stolen." He laughs at her expression.
"So." She takes a sip of her soda. "Anything else you want to know about me?" He was hoping she wouldn't ask that.
"Not really." He snags another fry.
"I know that tone, I know you have to have one thing you want to ask." She watches him take more fries. "I won't get upset unless it's really personal."
"Nah, not right now at least." She shrugs, taking another sip of soda. She notices him looking at her intrigued.
"What?" She raises an eyebrow. "Do I have something on my face?" He shakes his head.
"No." He smirks and looks at his watch. "Lets go find Miroku now, we've been gone awhile."
"We've only been gone like 20 minutes, he can handle himself."
"Yeah, but."
"Let him come to me, I'm not done yet."
"Suit yourself, I'm leaving." He stands up and begins to leave.
"Are you just going to leave me here?" A hint of anger tinged her voice.
"Yep." He continues to walk away.
"See if I need you, it seems you don't care." She mutters, hoping that he couldn't hear her. too late, he did. A wave of guilt told him to go back to her but he decided to ignore the fact. "Your such an asshole." She says equally as quiet as the last. He paused and growled. In an instant he was back in front of her.
"Listen here girl, you can call me whatever you like, but expect it to come back and bite you in the ass, Kagome." His pupils become narrow slits. "And for you, no one calls me an asshole and gets away with it." He growls. "Don't expect my sympathy wench, Miroku's your only friend here now, and remember that." He storms off to find Miroku, or the door, whichever came first. Kagome sits in a state of shock, feeling tears coming.
"I can't cry here! What am I crying about? He's a freaking stuck up, conceited, jerk!" She whispers trying to make herself feel better. It worked a little until she looked up and sees Miroku with worry written all over his face.
"Kagome?" He reaches her and looks at her puzzled. "What happened?" Kagome shakes her head.
"Your roommate's a selfish jerk." She wanted to say more, but refrained.
"Yeah, he is." She is stunned by his agreeance. "But he grows on you."
"Was he this bad when you first met him?"
"Worse." He motions for Kagome to get up. "Lets get out of her, you probably want a shower."
"Bath.Stress makes my muscles tense."
"Runs in the family, come on."
*
"What a little bitch! I can't believe she said that-" he pauses. "No ones ever called me that." Inuyasha paces in front of Miroku's car. "Still, she's a damned wench, I never want to have to deal with her after this visit's done." He notices Miroku and Kagome approaching.
"Isn't someone Mr. Sunshine today?" Miroku jokes.
"Shove it Miroku." Inuyasha growls.
"Sorry, sorry." Miroku got in the car and everyone else followed suit. No one dared talk and face the hanyou's wrath. Kagome stares out the window. 'How things can change in a matter of a hour.'
-YAY! How was that? This one took me a little longer because of all the grammar stuff going on that I didn't add in my original. Patience is a virtue, but not when you're waiting for the next chapter to come out, haha. I know exactly how this seems, but you know, time is not on my side here. Writing takes creativity, which I think this chapter lacked, but you know, whatever (. I got it up, so no complaining, no one likes complainers. Review if you feel the need, but I do like criticism. Have a field day with the new chapter, share, pass it on, do what you need to get more people into these fanfics which people slave over trying to get them up on a specific deadline.not that we NEED them in its just that we like to keep our reviewers coming back and very happy. I may need to take the story down for matinence in the near future, but life is good. Live. Ayame-chan
