Ah, Inuyasha and Kagome are looking each other face to face in this chapter, will havoc insue?
***
Kagome walked out of the orphanage, one bag in hand, and she dropped it, as she looked at the car that awaited her. She gulped and her eyes went wide. 'Oh.. my.. Lord!'
They smiled. "Your not used to this kind of thing are you?"
She shook her head, 'No.'
"Well, we'll make sure you get comfortable in no time!" Mrs. Taishio patted her on the back, and help get her plastic bag, when her piece of music fell out. She looked at it in shock, and held it up. "You, know how to play this?"
She shook her head, 'Yes.'
"I would like for you to teach my son this song. Would that be alright with you?" She asked, hoping she would say yes.
She smiled, and pointed to the notes, as if telling her, 'Yes. I would love to!'
"Good. Now, off to your new home!"

On the way there, the tall woman had been nice enough to give Kagome some 'tips' when she was around Inuyasha.
"Well, for starters, be nice to him. Maybe he'll for once have some heart and be nice also, since you're going to be living here from now on. He can't get rid of you. Next, he can get a little touchy, so don't do anything that might set him off, alright honey?" She continued.
"Then, never ever give him pity on anything. Your claming your own death-sentance in a way. You'll end up getting in some sort of argument.." She sighed at her son's behavior.
"Now.. he looks like he is very charming though, let me describe him to you." She took a breath, "Inuyasha is a tall boy. He has long violet/black slick hair, and violet eyes. He has tanned skin, and its also safe to say, he was one of the hottest guys in Japan. All the fan girl's of his of course. You have to get used to that, you know?" She laughed.
Kagome rolled her eyes in response, smiling.
Mrs. Taishio gave Kagome more hints and talks, and before they knew it, they were finally, 'Home.'
Mrs. Taishio smiled inside, 'This, was a great plan. Forget the loyalty, this girl, she is the key to his happiness.'

Inuyasha heard a knock on the door, since he was sitting in the kitchen, instead of letting the butler or the maids' get it. He opened the door, and saw his parents there, along with a...girl..?
Only one thought went through his mind, 'Oh, shit no!' He was angry, but decided to let his parents explain before he jumped to conclusions on what this was about.
"Well, Inuyasha, we found you a loyal friend. She is very nice and polite, her name is Kagome." Kagome held out her hand for a hand shake, and Inuyasha slapped it away.
"Who the hell are you? And what do you want? I didn't ask for any friends, and I don't want anymore than I already have! You can go back to where you came from.." He looked at her. "..wench!" He added on for good measures.
Kagome was stunned, how could someone be so rude? Someone comes to his doorstep, wanting to be his friend, and they slap their hand at them like their some sort of fly? Well, that's NOT how Kagome Higurashi will be treated!
She slapped him. Hard.
Mr. and Mrs. Taishio gasped, and decided to let them work it out themselves. They ran into the kitchen, and left the scene. They were hungry anyway.
Inuyasha's right side of his cheek was now a bright red and his eyes were wide with shock. He turned his neck slowly to look at her, eyes still wide. He looked into her eyes, thinking they would be full of anger...
They were full of sadness, hurt, and betrayal. You could see tears becoming visible in her eyes, and she had hand still out from the impact.
'Her eyes.. their so kind and gentle looking.. the color is beautiful..' He was stunned by his thoughts. 'She may be pretty, but I still hate her GUTS!' "How.. dare you slap me, ungrateful wench! My parents go out of their way to help you, and YOU slap ME!"
He awaited her response.
He got nothing. It was silent.
"Aren't you going to insult me?" Inuyasha snickered. "Or are you too overwhelmed by my beauty, the cat's got your tongue?"
She just sneered at him. She walked right past him, and went into the room that his parents had gone in. Maybe they would give her some respect! They were so kind, how could they have had such a repulsive son? Its amazing what God can do these days. So she walked into the kitchen, leaving the stunned Inuyasha behind.

Inuyasha, after that argument, decided to go downstairs and check his email. He hadn't done that for quite awhile now. He walked down the stairs, and turned on the lights, when he saw someone had already been on the computer.
He sat down in the comfy chair, relaxed for a moment, and looked at the screen. He gasped. It was Kagome's profile! He read over it, little by little, when he came across the one thing, that made him feel like the guiltiest person alive.
"Flaws: She is mute. Or, so she seems to be."
'I can't believe.. I was so cruel to her..' He thought, even though he hated most people, and didn't give a shit about what happened to them normally, people with disabilities just made him feel down-right sad. He didn't know why, it was just because they didn't get to enjoy life to the fullest, he guessed. Well, for once in his life, he felt the need to apologize..
'Wait, NO! She SLAPPED me! Screw the apology.. not until she does first! Then I'll think about it!' He turned off the computer out of anger, and went back up stairs to him room, to get some well needed alone time.

Kagome was looking in her room, and when she looked around, she nearly fainted.
'Oh my Gosh! Look at all this stuff!' She touched everything in the room, and put her stuff up also. Clothes, pictures, stuffed animals, whatever she had brought.
She was done in about a half an hour, and arranged things to her personal liking. She looked at the watch on her hand, Rin had given her when she turned fourteen, and saw it was already 3:00 PM! The day went by quickly, and she thought she could just take a look around the house *ehem* mansion, and check out the rooms.
So, she went looking in all the rooms she could find on the main level. There was the dinning room, which was about the size of a baseball field, the family room, HUGE on electronics, all the bed-rooms, nice and well furnished, the kitchen, a chef's true palace. She looked through more and more rooms, and she finally came to the last one, the one on the end of the house. It was a small white room, with only one thing in it, a large baby grand piano. Along with a seat of course.
To say she was excited was an understatement. She loved the piano! She looked at the music that was already on the piano stand, and was stunned. It was "Grave Of The Fireflies!"
She opened the book, not really needing to, because she had already memorized the song. She just did it to make it look professional. She sat up straight, and closed her eyes, and let the music overflow her body with much serene, calm, feelings. Nothing, could ruin this moment. Not even that Inuyasha boy...

Mr. and Mrs. Taishio were in the kitchen, talking about Kagome. "Well, she's an awfully sweet girl, but, Inuyasha doesn't seem to like her too much, vise versa.." She said, eye's downcast.
"Give it time dear, I'm sure they will get to know each other in their own time. Who knows, they could get to even be the best friends in the whole universe, nothing is impossible." He told her soothingly.
"But.. Inuyasha, he will make this hard on her.. I feel so sorry for
that poor girl." She looked at the salad she was currently making for her
own pleasure.
"Well, she'll learn a couple new things too. Like how it is like, in the outside world. Its a cold, cold, world out there." As he said that, she added the croutons, and also added one last thought on the subject,
"And maybe Inuyasha will be there to keep her warm."
