Yeh, so I decided to write another story when I already have 4 more to complete. Like I care. Well, anyways, this is my second Inuyasha story, so I'm hoping to please my readers and get more reviews than the other one. *looks sadly at the 10 reviews on the Insane Inuyasha Story* so, anyway, enjoy!
Collage is Life & Collage is Hell
"Kagome Higurashi! Get up right now or you won't make it to collage on time!" Kagome's eyes shot open at her mother's yells. 'Oh no!' Kagome's mind screamed. 'Why the hell didn't my alarm clock go off?' She looked over at her clock to only to see her fat cat Buyo sitting on the snooze button. Kagome glared at him, while Buyo just stared at her blankly.
"I might as well stuff you, you useless mound of lard," Kagome hissed at him. Buyo blinked. Kagome rolled her eyes and got quickly out of bed. Throwing on a white spaghetti-strap T-shirt and a short green skirt, she grabbed her suitcase and rushed downstairs. Kagome spotted a bowl of cereal on the table and set down the suitcase. "Thanks Mom," she said *her Mom's in the kitchen, by the way* before literally swallowing her breakfast. She finished her juice in no time and placed her dishes carefully in the sink. Brushing her long raven hair out of her eyes, she grabbed her suitcase and kissed her mother on the cheek.
"Sayonara Mom," Kagome said, stepping away from her mother and grabbing the car keys off of the counter. "Tell Sota and Grandpa that I said bye."
"Ok, dear," Mrs. Higurashi said to her daughter's retreating back. "Love you! Visit us soon!"
"I will," Kagome replied, waving to her mom before stepping out the front door. Breathing in the smell of fall and freedom, Kagome walked over to her van and placed the case in the trunk. She then got into the driver's seat and started the engine. Pulling out of the driveway, Kagome's heart filled with excitement, anxiousness, and nervousness. She wondered how many friends she'd make at collage. From what she knew of, none of her old friends where attending the same collage as her. Maybe she would even get a boyfriend. Her cheeks went pink at the thought. She had been popular in her high school years, and many boys had asked her out. None of them, she had quickly found out, where right for her. One of them, a very dense boy named Hojo, had asked her out several times and basically refused to leave her alone. She sure as hell hoped that he would be attending a collage somewhere far from where she was going.
After a 5 hour drive, Kagome stopped for lunch and gas before getting back on the road. About 1 ½ hours later, she pulled into the parking lot of the main building of the University of Kyoto. Getting out of the van, Kagome walked into the large building to check in. As soon as she stepped in, her blue-gray eyes widen in amazement. The hall itself was incredible! A small silver fountain sat in the middle of the hall. Many plants were placed along the walls, which were painted a beautiful gold color. The ceiling was painted to look like the clear blue sky. Kagome stopped looking around as she reached the sign-in counter. A short old man sat behind the counter, glaring at everyone within a 10 foot radius of himself. What was left of his hair was graying, and Kagome could easily picture him as a toad *guess who*. The man looked up at her as she approached him. The name tag on his shirt read JAKEN.
"Name please," Jaken grunted at her, his beady little eyes still fixed into a glare.
"Higurashi Kagome," Kagome said. Jaken looked at the long list in front of him before handing her a card.
"You're in room C107 on the third floor. The card will allow you to enter it. Now get lost," Jaken snapped. Kagome bowed respectfully to him and turned back to the entrance to gather her things, but not before muttering: "Jak-ass." *hehe, like the name? I made it up myself. ^^* Kagome slung her backpack over her shoulder before picking up her box containing some of her belongings and the suitcase. *just to let you know, the suitcase is resting on top of the box.* Kagome walked back into the building and began walking up the long flight of stairs. By the time she reached the second landing, Kagome had sweat pouring off her. She set the box and the suitcase down to take a short break. She heard a voice behind her.
"Hey. Need a hand?" Kagome turned around and saw a girl about her age smiling at her. She had long dark-brown hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and kind brown eyes. She wore a pink tank top and tight black pants. Kagome smiled at her.
"Thanks," Kagome said gratefully. The ked up the box while Kagome picked up the case. The girl didn't seem to be affected by the weight of the box. "My name's Kagome," she added.
"I'm Sango," the girl said, holding out her hand while holding the box with the other. Kagome shook it, all the while wondering how she could possibly manage to hold that thing with only one hand. "What room are you in?" Sango asked her.
"Room C107," Kagome replied. Sango's smile widened.
"That's my room too!" she exclaimed happily. "We get to be roommates!" Kagome also smiled. She was glad that she got a roommate that would hopefully not make her 4 years at the collage absolute hell. She and Sango finally reached their room. Kagome took out her card and slid it into the slot next to the door. *I'm just making this up, 'cause I have no idea what happens in those collages, or any collages for that matter.* She put the card in her pocket and opened the door, revealing a large white room. A door on her right led to a small bathroom with blue walls, a white tile sink, a toilet, a tile tub, and a shower in the corner. The large room contained three beds, stands, a small TV and VCR, and fridge/freezer in one of the corners. Suitcases and belongings lay scattered around the floor, and a young woman around Kagome and Sango's age lay on one of the beds, her nose buried in a book. She had black hair that was tied into a braid and sparkling brown eyes, and she was wearing a sky-blue shirt and jean shorts. She looked up when Sango shut the door and smiled widely.
"Hi!" she said, getting up, walking over to Kagome, and shaking her hand. "I'm Rin. What's your name?"
"I'm Kagome," Kagome replied, also smiling. "I guess you're my other roommate."
"Yep," said Rin, as Sango passed both of them and set the heavy box down next to the only available bed. "I'm so excited about collage! I'm hoping to make lots of friends, and maybe even a boyfriend. I'm studying to become a doctor, Sango as well. What are you gonna be?"
"I'm also hoping to become a doctor," said Kagome, setting the suitcase down on her bed. "That's my main goal, but I wouldn't mind if I became a nurse or something that has to do with medicine."
"Maybe that means that we'll all be in the same classes," Sango said hopefully.
"Maybe," said Rin. Kagome walked over to the fridge and opened the door.
"What have we got in here?" she muttered. She spotted a can of Sprite and pulled it out.
"Hey, can you get me a Pepsi?" Sango called over to her.
"Yeh, same with me," Rin said, once again absorbed into her book. Kagome took the two Pepsi's out and tossed them to the two girls. Rin caught hers while still looking at her book, and Sango caught hers while searching for something in her backpack. Kagome blinked, then shook her head and opened the Sprite can. These people where definitely strange. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Sango looked up from her backpack and went over to open it. Standing at the door were two young men. One of them had black hair that was tied into a short ponytail at the base of his neck, dark purple eyes, and was wearing a purple shirt with black jeans. The guy behind him had long silver hair, golden eyes, and was wearing baggy red pants and a white muscle shirt. * Author looks over at drooling readers and blinks* He was looking over the first guys shoulder at them, looking not at all happy to be there. The first guy grinned flirtatiously at the girls.
"Hello my lovely little blossom," the man said, while Sango and the other man rolled their eyes. "My name is Miroku, and this man behind me is Inuyasha. We just wanted to come by and meet our neighbors."
"Feh," the man called Inuyasha snorted. "You just wanted to see if any girls were around so you could flirt with them." He suddenly spotted Kagome, who was standing about five feet behind Sango. "Hey Kikyou, why haven't you tried to pounce on me yet? Have you finally realized that I'm not interested?" Kagome stared at him with a confused expression on her face.
"I'm not Kikyou. My name's Kagome." Inuyasha folded his arms across his chest and looked away.
"Whatever," he muttered. Suddenly, the girls heard a yell from the room to the right of theirs.
"Hey Inuyasha! You left all your stuff on my bed!"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and yelled back, "Good for you, Sesshoumaru! If you don't want it there then move it!"
"It's your stuff little brother. You will move it, and you will move it now!" Sesshoumaru yelled back, clearly annoyed. Inuyasha rolled his eyes again.
"I'd better go before brother dearest blows his top," he said to Miroku. Without another glance at the girls, he turned and left. Miroku watched Inuyasha leave before turning back to Sango, his grin fully in place.
"Please tell me your name?" Miroku asked Sango.
"I'm Sango," Sango said, before turning and gesturing towards Kagome, "and this is…" She stopped in mid sentence, her eyes widening and her cheeks flushing. She felt something very much like a hand caressing her bottom. Gritting her teeth, Sango swung around and nailed Miroku in the center of the forehead, causing him to smash into the wall behind him. Slamming the door behind her, Sango turned around; steam literally pouring out of her ears. Kagome blinked. Yep, these people were very strange. Who knows what'll happen next.
So, how did I do? This definitely isn't my first fic, but I'm still anxious to know how I do on my stories. So, now all you have to do is press the little review button at the bottom of the screen and you're done! Flames are welcome, because if I get any *s * I can just delete them! That'll mean more work for you and more fun for me! Haha! Ok, that's all I have to say now. Bye!
