Disclaimer: I wish I owned Inuyasha, but alas, I don't.
Friend or Foe?
Kagome settled into the limo, holding onto her backpack and leather Jacket in her lap. Her mother and Sota were talking but she wasn't really interested in talking. Yeah, she was anxious to see their new home, but she decided that it would be best to just stay quiet and listen to her music. She cut it off for a moment to switch the MP3 catching some of her Mom and Sota's conversation.
"Do you think we'll have a pool?" he asked his mother, Kagome rolling her eyes.
"Maybe, it's a surprise." her mother answered smiling at Sota.
Kagome found the MP3 she was hunting, switched it out, tossed the other one in her backpack and pressed play. She leaned her head on the window and gazed out at the new surroundings. She saw a sign that read Freeway 101, and watched the traffic pass as she mouthed the lyrics to 'Halloween' by the Misfits. She dozed for a couple of minutes, and noticed that there wasn't much traffic around except expensive vehicles, like decked out Hummers, and then felt the limo slow way down to a stop. She looked out the window her mother was sitting next to and saw that they were turning into a driveway, that had a large Iron gate swinging open. 'what the hell???' she thought somewhat confused. She decided to straighten her clothing and put her leather jacket on.
The limo crept along and finally went to a clearing which was the middle of a circular driveway, in the middle a large white water fountain and a large light blue Victorian style house. She noticed a silver Mercedes-Benz parked and three men standing in front of the massive house. Two of them were in black suits and black shades, and the third in a red Rancid tee, and black skants with a black cap on. They all had long silver hair, and were arranged in height. 'In case the guy in the Rancid tee is hot, I'm going to make sure I look okay.' she thought pulling her compact out of her backpack and opening it up. She checked out her eyebrow out, it wasn't as puffy as it had been, nor was it really red anymore. She checked and made sure that her bull ring was clean, surprised that it wasn't. 'I look tired, but at least my face looks alright. Glad I didn't wear makeup, it'd would be off by now anyways.' she thought sadly, thinking about her goodbye to her friends and band mates. She closed up the compact and put it back in her bag. She ran her fingers through her hair being careful not to remove her head phones from her ears, and looked back out at the house. She noticed, what appeared to be, a two car garage that was painted light blue just off from the house. She looked back at the men, and saw that they were standing on the porch and the guy in the "skater" clothes wore a black Misfits cap. 'good taste.' she thought smiling.
She got a little nervous as the limo came to a halt, not exactly sure why, but she did, and turned her attention to the voice talking in the head phones. "This is a song we wrote about Jacking off." it said and she giggled at Fat Mike of NOFX as he began to listen to the song. She couldn't help but laugh. Her guy friends found the song off of 'I Heard They Suck Live' (A/N: brain froze and I couldn't remember the title of the song, but it is off of the I Heard They Suck Live, album. I'm embarrassed that I don't know since they are one of my favorite bands!) humorous, but not nearly as funny as her and Eri found it. The limo driver opened the door, to let them out.
Her mother got out first, thanked the driver, and went to the tallest man and shook his hand. Sota followed her out and over. Kagome put a strap over her right shoulder and giggled again at the song she was listening to as she put her feet on the cemented driveway. Her mother shot her a look of disapproval and she reached into the netted pocket of her backpack and cut off the MP3 player and stood up. She walked over to her mother, pulled the head phones down and smoothed out her plaid skirt. She looked over at the boy on the end and noticed that his eyes were a gold/yellow color. 'weird.. I've never seen those eyes before, yet I feel like I have.' she thought.
Inuyasha stared at the girl that emerged out of the limo last. She was even better looking in person, she looked like Kikyo, yet, she didn't at the same time. Her giggle was one of the sweetest he'd ever heard, and her musical tastes were obviously great. As she passed him she had made direct eye contact and smiled. 'If I could just get over what Kikyo did to me, I would consider asking her on a date.' he thought sadly and continued to watch her.
"Mr. Husako, I would like you to meet my daughter, Kagome, and my son, Sota. Kagome, Sota, this is my new boss Mr. Husako." she said proudly, with a small smile on her lips.
Mr. Husako was a good looking guy, his long silver hair, his skin lightly tanned, and he looked really nice in the suit he wore. He lowered him self a little and shook Sota's hand.
"Nice to meet you, young man." he said smiling.
"Nice to meet you, too." Sota said, "Is this our new home?"
"Yes it is." he said and laughed.
Mr. Husako lifted himself back up and looked at Kagome, and shook her hand as well.
"Nice to meet you." he said.
"Oh, the pleasure is all mine." she said, her words dripping with sarcasm, not meaning to, but coming out that way.
He released her hand and smiled an odd smile. She looked over at the boy on the end and he smiled and looked like he was trying not to laugh. She looked at her mom who looked at her with disapproval, yet again.
"I would like to welcome you to your new home. In case your wondering about the gentlemen to my left, this is my eldest son, Sesshomaru, and my youngest, Inuyasha." he began, "Your mother did pay for most of this, but I always like to do something or give something extra to employees I think are worthy or going to be worthy of it. Instead of payment in check form, she accepted my job offer and asked for me to find you a home. I decided to have my sons earn their room and board. I gave Sesshomaru the responsibility of coming up with your room, Sota."
"really?" he asked looking at the other man in the suit named Sesshomaru.
"Yes, really, are you ready to see your home?" Mr. Husako asked him.
"Yeah!" he said, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
"Sesshomaru, show Sota his new room and around the grounds." he ordered Sesshomaru.
"Yes father." he said politely.
Sota followed Sesshomaru into the house. He walked inside and yelled to Kagome and his mom, "WOW! WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS!"
They heard Sesshomaru attempt to quiet him, and Kagome giggled as it failed hopelessly.
"Kagome, I gave Inuyasha and his friends, Sango and Miroku, the task of coming up with your room. They were unable to be here unfortunately, but you will be meeting them later when Inuyasha takes you out so you can get used to this area, and look around." he said to her.
'I have to take her around too, now? I don't remember agreeing to that!' Inuyasha's thoughts screamed and he felt his anger rise a little.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. He didn't seem to happy about what his dad had just said. 'Damn, someone must have pissed in his cornflakes.' she thought and stifled her giggle.
"Inuyasha, take Kagome and show her around the house and grounds, and her room." he ordered.
"Yes masta." he said sarcastically, then looked to Kagome who looked like she was going to laugh at any minute.
"Come on, I'll show you around." he said rudely walking into the house.
'hmm.. He's a little rude.' she thought following him inside.
She saw what appeared to be a formal living room. It had her mothers antique furniture in it, some stuff on the white walls and the carpet was a light beige color. She hurried to catch up with Inuyasha who had started up the carpeted stairway. He stopped and turned to her as she started up the stairs.
"Will you hurry up and stop gawking? I have things I have to do today!" he stated arrogantly.
"Fuck off, I was just looking, you've been in this house before and it's my first time, Asshole." she said getting a little peeved by her handsome guide.
"What did you call me? Asshole? Well, at least I don't look like I just walked off of Sunset Drive, geeked out and trashy looking." he shot back and finished climbing the stairs.
" Excuse me?!" she said, this time getting mad.
"You look like a fucking whore!" He said as she joined him at the top of the stairs.
"Like I care, you look like a fucking poser, you probably don't know half of the songs by the bands your wearing you arrogant bastard! You shouldn't even be wearing that hat! You're a disgrace on all Misfits fans!" she yelled grabbing the Misfits cap with her left hand and started to pull it off of his head.
Inuyasha's left arm shot up grabbing her forearm, his right arm going up to push the cap back on his head. "Bitch, don't you ever grab my hat and try to remove it from my head again!" he growled.
Kagome hadn't noticed until now that his fingernails were claws. She looked him in the eyes and they seemed to be glowing, and was that a dog growl she heard coming from him. She got a little frightened by his swift movements and the strength he had.
He smelled and saw the fear she produced when he did that. 'what the fuck am I doing? She's hot and I'm treating her like shit. She doesn't look trashy, she looks sexy as hell in those fishnets and short skirt. I guess I have to apologize so she doesn't hate me. Damn it. I fucking hate apologizing.' he thought sighing and feeling bad about being short tempered and fighting with the new, very beautiful girl in front of him. She felt so soft, and even though she had had a long day, he loved the way she smelled.
"Look, I'm sorry. My dad just angers me, and I didn't mean to take it out on you." he mumbled barely audible, but enough to where Kagome could hear it.
"Don't take your fucking anger at your dad out at me! Let go of my arm!" she snapped back as he released her forearm.
"Don't be mad. Please. I apologize. I worked really hard on your room, and I sincerely hope that you like it." he said, his eyes softening as he gazed at Kagome who was still peeved at him.
She had almost decided to declare this guy schizophrenic, until she looked at his eyes. They looked guilty and sorry. She relaxed, and gave him a small smile. "Fine. Just try not to take your problems or dilemma's out on me next time. I accept the apology." she finally said.
"Good, now, will you follow me to your room?" he asked starting down the hall, a little nervous about how she'd react to the room.
"Aye, Aye Captain." she said saluting like a dysfunctional solider.
He laughed at her and went to the end of the huge hall, and turned back to her again.
"By the way, I don't mind showing you around, my father just never asked me. And, well, you know how it is being told what to do all the time." he said rolling his eyes. He was stopped in front of the door to her room.
"Now, if you don't like it, you can hate me for the rest of your life and blame me for all of your problems. But do remember that me and my friends tried our best." he said.
She could tell he was nervous and even though he was arrogant, rude, and seemed to be a little self-absorbed, she liked him.
"Even if it's pink and all frilly, and I totally hate it, I won't hate you." she assured him.
"I mean, I may want to beat you senseless, but I won't hate you." she joked with him and made him laugh.
'He's so much more handsome and inviting when he smiles.' she said and noticed that he had sharp fangs, which sort of surprised her. But then again, after seeing his fingers were claws, and feeling the strong grip on her arm, could anything really surprise her about this guy?
"Well, here goes nothing…" he said turning the door knob and pushing the door open.
Kagome's mouth dropped and her eyes grew wide as she stepped inside.
'Oh no, I hope she doesn't hate it!' Inuyasha thought, looking at Kagome's shocked look. Her eyes looked like they would come out of their sockets at any moment.
