A/N- Sorry! I know, I'm a horrible person for not updating in three months! To tell you the truth, I don't really like this chapter all that much--it sounded too newbie-ish. ;; That's basically the main reason for the lack of update. '

Kouga comes in this chapter. He's probably out of character. Sorry about that! I haven't seen an episode where he comes in so I had to use the info I found from other fics and character profiles on random sites. Same goes with Ayame. ;;

Chapter 3

Kagome stomped down the hallway to her room, which she shared with Ayame, her friend and roommate. When she twisted the doorknob, she found it locked.... a moan from inside telling her why it was locked inside in the first place.

"AYAME!" Kagome yelled, pounding her fist on the door. A split second later she heard a scream and loud thump, followed by a string of muffled curses.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! She scared me!"

The door opened, and she found her self face-to-face with Kouga.

Kagome glared at him, who gave her a sheepish grin in return.

"Ehh...hey Kagome..." Kouga edged away from the doorway down to his end of the hall, getting out of the girl's path. "I thought you would be gone the whole-"

Kagome slammed the door in his face before he had a chance to finish.

"Well, that wasn't very nice...."

"Sorry!" Ayame apologized. She knew how much Kagome hated it whenever Kouga was over in their room.... uh... keeping her company.... "We thought-"

"Yea, yea, I heard...." Kagome mumbled, sitting cross-legged on her bed and folding her arms across her chest, her face set in a pissed expression.

"What's wrong?" Ayame asked, seeing the distress on her roommate's face. She sat down on her bed parallel to Kagome's, and pulled out two Hershey bars from under her bed. She tossed one bar to Kagome, signaling her to talk.

Kagome let the chocolate lay on the bed. Not even chocolate could improve the mood she was in right now.

"I just met the biggest jerk on the planet."

"Hey, we told you! We thought you were-"

"Not Kouga. Another jerk."

"Oh, ok.... wait, hey! Kouga isn't a jerk!"

Kagome sighed and leaned back on the wall. "Do you want to hear it or not?"

"Fine...." Ayame grumbled, mimicking her roommate's action.

"Well, remember how I was supposed to welcome the new kid today?"

"Mmmhmmm." Ayame mumbled with a mouth full of chocolate. "He's the jerk?"

"Yea." Kagome pounded her fists on the bed. "He is so infuriating! And of course, I had to pretend he didn't bother me. I had to cry just to get him to go along on the tour!" Kagome got up on her knees and started waving her arm around for emphasis. "And he didn't even let me finish the tour! He thinks he's Mr. Big-shot like-like he has a big bad dark past. He acts like he's too special to talk or something! He 'feh'ed me!"

Ayame slowly blinked. "He.... fed you...?"

"Feh. Stupid bitch...Couldn't even tell me where my fucking room is...."

After a couple of minutes, Inuyasha was wandering down the seemingly endless hallways, as lost as Nemo.

He glared at the paper he had been handed by the guards.

Room 137. That's where he needed to be. He was at....

He looked up at a random door. Room 125.

It seemed to him that the guy's rooms were numbed odd and (after a quarter of an hour wondering how the people here could be as stupid as to forget all the even numbers on the doors), he assumed that the girl's numbers were even. So according to his calculations, his room should be about six doors down.

Kouga blindly made his way to his room, the people in his path wisely moving to let him through. He wasn't in the friendliest of moods right now....

With a flash of sliver, Kouga found him self knocked to the floor. Snarling, Kouga leapt up on his feet, searching for the offender. His eyes landed on a tall, silver haired, dog eared...?

"Watch it," Kouga growled, fixing a glare on the teen. Flexing his hands, he bore his teeth. He didn't like this guy.

The boy returned the glare. Amber eyes clashed with blue. His hands clenched into fists, and....

Walked away...

But not before a clever little come back of his own...

"Feh."

"Alright, let me get this straight. He came up to you, screamed at you, and walked away. Then, when you graciously followed him, he attacked you?!"

"Yes!" ...Ok, maybe a bit of a stretch, but Ayame deserved to know the truth!

"Wow, Kagome.... That's just-- that's just..."

"Mean?"

"Yes!"

"Corrupted?"

"Yes!"

"Evil?"

"Yes!"

"That's what I thought."

With a sigh of relief, Inuyasha pushed open the door to him room. Clothes were scattered across both beds and there was no visible floor from where he was standing. One word could summarize the room.

Perfect.

...except...

In three steps, he made his way over to a bed and swept the pile of jerseys and boxers off with an arm, flopping down on it to replace where the pile had been.

...much better.

He laced his fingers behind his head for support and surveyed the room. The other guy who lived in here didn't seem to be all that bad.

...minus the smell....

the awfully familiar smell....

the awfully familiar smell that he had just—

With a squeak, the door swung open, revealing a dark haired teen. The door slammed closed and the stranger quickly whirled his head around.

Inuyasha quickly found himself on his feet, staring—

glaring—into a pair of familiar ocean blue eyes.

From down the hall, two male voices were heard...

"YOU!"
