Yea! I survived a shopping trip with my sister! *dances happily* and had money to buy stuff.. Which wasn't anything I really wanted.. Just some new khaki pants for work… *sigh* like you guys care. Well, since my little Hanyou is glued to the TV awaiting Dragonball Z to come on.. I will continue, as I drink my Guinness Stout (it's only a six pack, I doubt I'll get a buzz) and attempt to not sound retarded.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.. If only I did…

A Surprise At Every Turn

Kagome looked around the dark red rust colored room, her posters and band flyers of shows that she had gigs in strategically placed on the walls. The full size bed frame, bed side tables, shelves, and huge desk were mahogany, and there were two large black double doors to her right. The carpet was black, and there were three comfy chairs, one at the desk and two facing a wall with a small mahogany table sitting there, two large glass door just a couple feet away from the chairs was a balcony that she could go out on, and a door to the left of that. The linen on the bed was black with red plaid trim, at the foot of the bed was a rather large mahogany chest. She got a little worried, as she looked around and did not see her precious bass guitar and amp.

"Where is my bass?" she asked a little panicky.

"In here, we weren't sure where you wanted that, and since it was in the cloth case we didn't want it to get damaged." he said opening one of the black door and flipping on the light to a very large walk in closet that held all of her clothing and had room for tons more. She went inside of it, following Inuyasha to where her bass was. She grabbed the handle to the cloth bag and toted it out of the closet, and laid it on the bed.

"Will you grab my amp? I know where I'm going to put it. I'm going to put it over there with the chairs that are facing that blank wall."

"Well, it's not a blank wall. It's a screen, come here and I'll show you." he said going to the area she was talking about.

"Huh? Ok." Kagome said confused. She left her bass laying on the bed and followed him.

He gently pulled the small handle and slid the screen across revealing a massive entertainment center complete with a flat screen plasma TV, satellite receiver, DVD, VCR, CD, MP3, satellite radio, surround sound, record player, and Playstation 2. All of her games, movies, CD's, and records on the right with plenty of space for more.

"all I had was a plain tv-vcr combo, boom box, and a play station 2. Now I have all this?" kagome said surprised.

"Yeah, me, Miroku and Sango thought it would be a nice welcome here present. My dad knows nothing about it, the only thing here that was yours was the Playstation 2. Why did you have records and no record player by the way?" he admitted and asked.

"Eh, well, my mom had one, so I bought a lot of records because they were cheaper then CD's. I worked as a waitress for awhile in New York while I was in high school, so I would have my own money and I could buy what I wanted without my mom knowing. Well, Sota likes a couple of the bands I listen to, and he broke the record player trying to play one of my Misfits albums. So, mom got rid of it, because it was lost cause to fix it." she said.

"well, it makes sense. At least you can listen to them again." he said.

"Yeah.. Thank god. Punk sounds better on vinyl." she said and giggled. "Thanks for all of that. You didn't have to go to so much trouble and expense on all of that."

"No problem. Sango and Miroku are really looking forward to meeting you, it was their idea. I just wanted to make sure you had a good sound system since I saw that you were in a band. I figured music was your thing." He said a little quiet and passing off the good deed they had done.

"I'm looking forward to meeting them too. Even though I know nothing about them." she said going to the black door. "What's this? My own bathroom?" she said opening it up and turning on the light.

'obviously, Kagome. wow, this is really nice.' she thought looking around the celestial styled bathroom. There was a large garden tub, shower stall, linen closet, toilet, sink, large mirror and a mahogany vanity with a small chair. The titles on the floor were really cool and formed a large sun and moon in the center. There were candles placed all over, the walls were plain white and a celestial border along the top.

"So what do you think?" Inuyasha said, showing her nervousness in his voice.

"I like it a lot. But how did you know that music was my thing, and that I loved red and black and celestial style?" she inquired raising her pierced right eyebrow.

"well, I asked my dad to get some info for me and my friends from your mom. She also sent a picture of you in concert with your friends. Sango held onto the picture. As far as I know, I think she gave it back to my dad to send back to your mom before you left New York." he said, lying about the picture.

"As long as you admit you didn't just come up with it." she laughed.

" Well, I had a good idea when I saw a chick with a bull ring that it would be easy enough to set up. Oh, and your old computer was too slow, we got you a new one with a flat screen. All of your stuff in the old computer was placed in the new one, so you didn't lose anything. So, I'm going to quickly show you around the rest of the house, show you your vehicle and then I have to go meet with my friends." he said quickly trying to push her out of the door. She half listened to him, sat on the bed and slipped off her shoes. Since he wasn't really paying that much to what she was doing, she pulled off her fishnets and grabbed some clean clothes out of the closet.

"What are you doing? I was going to show you the rest of the house!"

"I'm going to take a quick shower and change. When I see my vehicle, I will want to obviously take it for a spin. You can wait. Sit and watch TV or something. It'll only be a 15-20 minute inconvenience to you." she stated walking into the bathroom and closing the door.

"Damn it. Now I have to wait even longer!" he angrily sat down on one of the chairs and flipped on the TV and Satellite dish.

She giggled as she undressed and got in the shower. She bathed quickly, not to piss off the boy in her room, dried and put on some clean clothes. A pair of red plaid flared Capri's, and a black Misfits tank. She didn't do anything with her hair, just brushed it out and pulled it into a pony tail. She walked out of the bathroom and went to the closet, slipped her studded belt into the belt loops of her Capri's, and slipped on her black and gray van sandals on.

"Took you long enough." Inuyasha complained turning the TV and Satellite dish off, and walked over to her desk, picking up a set of keys, and a small white envelope.

"Aw, what did you miss me?" Kagome said teasingly.

"Not really, here, these are yours and so is this." he said handing her the keys and the small envelope.

She put the keys in her pocket and opened the envelope. It had a Bank of America visa inside with her name on it, with a bank statement saying that it had about 48 grand on it.

"What the fuck? How do I have 48 grand on this?! And how is it mine?!" She gasped.

"Oh, I'll explain that. 4,000 of your moms weekly check goes to you and your brother, that way you don't have to work and go to school, just go to school. It also pays for college in case of no scholarship or what not. Your mom suggested the idea since her salary is quite high. Do you understand that?" he asked her.

" I suppose.. Um.. Okay." she said putting the card in her chained wallet and attaching it to her belt.

"I have a lot on mine. I have three accounts that my dad doesn't know about. If he knew that I just decided to save most of it, he'd be surprised. I don't really like flashy stuff. He wants me to get some expensive foreign car like his and get rid of my Explorer, but I refuse. I like my vehicle. He doesn't like it because it's not as expensive as his, and my insurance is a little higher."

" I think I'm going to do a lot of shopping and then just do the same as you, but my mom wouldn't mind me saving it, I wouldn't have to keep it a secret. But how do I have 48 grand on it?"

" lucky. Your mom has been technically working for my dad for the last six months. So, you figure 2 a week. It adds up to 48. Now come on lets go, Kikyo." he said starting to open the door to her room.

" Who's that? I know it's not me. My name is Kagome, c'mon, say it with me, KA-GO-ME." she said slightly angered that he'd called her someone else's name.

He turned around to face her. 'oh my god. Why did I say Kikyo! Damn it. Smooth there dumbass.' he could tell she was pissed off by that by her skin color and tone of voice.

"Excuse me, Kagome. You just look like someone I used to love, but now hate." he answered simply.

"Oh, so does that mean your going to hate me because I look like some dumb bitch you used to be in love with?" she asked

"Not really, but right now that sounds like a good idea with all your bickering!" he said.

"I'm not bickering. I'm just making statements." she replied with fake sweetness and pushing up the bottom of his hat.

She didn't mean to push it as hard as she did, but when she popped it up it knocked it off revealing what he had hidden.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you never to remove my hat!" he yelled at her, as she stared at the top of his head.

Sitting ,as cute as they could be, on top of his head were two small ears like a dog would have.

"What are you Inuyasha? Are those real? Can I touch them?" she wondered out loud.

"Yes they are real." he sighed picking up his hat, walking to her bed and sitting down.

"Well, can I touch them?" she asked walking over to him.

"I guess. Go ahead." he said sighing again.

She lifted her arms and rubbed his ears. She could swear she heard what sounded like purring. "They're so soft and cute!" she exclaimed, "So, um, what are you?"

"I'm half-demon. My father is a full demon, so is my brother. I don't want to talk about this right now." he said putting his hat back on and getting up, "lets go already."

"ok." kagome said forgetting about the stupid argument and following him through the house.

She saw the house, the pool and hot tub which looked like they were naturally made by stone, and the Japanese gardens and shrine to the right of the pool a trail off of the patio. She liked the small cave under the rock slide near the hot tub. The kitchen was all stainless steal with a bar and stools on the large island in the middle of the kitchen, the dining room was like any other dining room, and the den looked roomy and comfy.

"So, can I see my vehicle already? I want to take it for a spin. " Kagome said as they reached the garage. "I want you to come with me though. I don't know my way around, I don't want to get lost."

"Sure, and that's not a bad idea. I'll take you by Miroku's house and you can meet him and Sango." he said taking her keys from her and opening the garage door. "I told my dad to get the same vehicle for you as I have. I figured you would like it more."

Kagome saw a dark red colored explorer next to a black BMW which was her mothers new vehicle. The windows were tinted and it had nice rims. She had her license in New York. Her mother told her to get it before they moved, she didn't know why. She was just content with her ID, and her fake ID that said she was 21. She took her keys back from Inuyasha and unlocked the doors.

"Well, lets get out of here dog boy." she said getting in the Explorer.

"Lets, but do not call me dog boy." he said getting in as well.

"I'll try not to. But, lets get going. I want to check out my new surroundings and meet your friends." she smiled as she started the ignition and backed up.

"As long as you don't drive like an idiot, we'll get along just fine. Now, on the way to Miroku's house. I'm going to tell you a little about them." he said. And readied himself for the introduction of her to his friends. 'this is going to be a long day.' he sighed.

Eh, well, that's all for now. This chapter is kind of boring. I know. It'll get better. My little boy got mad because Animatrix is on and not Inuyasha. Now he's saying hobbit, momma, hobbit. So, I guess that's my cue to put it on. Haha. Well, r&r. till next time. Ja Ne
