Inuwhat: omigosh I postponed writing this next chapter for how long...hmm....lol...well sorry!! thanks for reviewing!!! it means a lot that I'm not forgotten and skipped over!!! whee! enjoy!

and to some of you readers...HELLO? windows 95 computers are slow and LAGGY no duh.

Oh yea no more Japanese in my stories. It's getting very annoying for me. If I wrote my story in the English sections, why bother sticking another language in it?

Disclaimer: you know what? I quit disclaimers. It's bad enough I don't own them but to have to remind myself over and over?! So this is my last disclaimer thank you very much.

Chapter 4: It's not a date!

Kagome muttered on her way out of bed. "Nguh..." She groggily found her way to the strangely minuscule table. She dropped her head down on her arms. She stared at the clock on her left and cursed it.

Kagome was too busy cursing the clock that she didn't even notice Sesshomaru walk into the room.

She turned her head.

"..."

"..."

They stared at each other in a confused way.

At the same time, the light bulbs in their minds clicked.

'Oh yea he lives here!!!'

'She's here...' they both thought at the same time. (Like they would know.)

Then they studied each other's clothing closer.

Sesshomaru blinked twice in an innocent way , while a flush crept it's way up Kagome's cheeks.

Kagome continued her flushing of the face, while Sesshomaru continued his innocent blinking.

'He's in freaking puppy boxers!!! Stupid Kagome! Stupid, stupid, stupid!!' Kagome thought angrily at herself. 'But those are really cute boxers...and that one puppy covers his - NO. NONONONO.' Before she could stop her inner Kagome from acting out loud, she added, "Nice boxers."

"SH-" Kagome clamped down her mouth and looked down.

'At least I didn't say nice - NOOOOO. Don't think. BAD KAGOME'

"Thanks. Nice bra." Sesshomaru said coolly before turning and entering the world of 'Eggo waffles'.

Kagome's head creaked down slowly to look at her.

Her blush seemed to deepen with every passing second.

'Great. I'm wearing short shorts and a bra. Oh fuck it.' Kagome thought grumpily, trying to ease her burning face.

'It's not my fault. It was hot. Yes, that explains it! It was hot last night. That's why I wore this to sleep and that's why he wore those boxers. Shit, don't think about them, don't-think-don't-think-don't-think!!!'

She got up and looked around the kitchen.

"Erm...Sesshomaru where is everything in this kitchen?" Kagome asked quietly. 'I shouldn't have eaten breakfast with Sango yesterday...'

He gave a short glance her way through the corner of his eye and said to his Eggo, "The blue cupboard." before taking a huge bite in it and letting the syrup drip motionlessly to his plate.

She muttered a thanks and looked around for a blue cupboard.

After about what seemed like four hours in Sesshomaru's Eggo-killing presence, she sighed and turned to him. "I can't find a blue cupboard in here."

Without turning her way, he said, "Red." and took a sip of his coffee.

Kagome gaped at him for a second and turned and found a red cupboard. 'He's a jerk no matter how good he looks in boxers.'

She opened up and found Sesshomaru's Tupperware. She put the bowl and spoon down and poured Trix into it. It was strange using his stuff, but she couldn't care less. Well actually if she BROKE his things, then she would care.

As if on cue, she slipped on a carpet that appeared out of nowhere and fell. Well the bowl, spoon and cereal flew into the air.

She grabbed the falling bowl and collected the flying cereal with kind of Spiderman-like reflex.

When the last piece fell in, she stared wide-eyed at her bowl.

"COOL." Kagome said as she sat on the carpet, marveling at her skills and pouring milk into her bowl.

"You're late." Sesshomaru said as he strode into the kitchen with feminine grace. (Not saying he's gay, just graceful)

"H-huh?" Kagome stammered. She managed to spill some milk onto the tile floor next to her.

'I can catch falling cereal in a bowl and yet I can't catch dripping milk.' Kagome thought miserably as she grabbed a cloth blindly behind her.

"WH-"

"..." Was all Sesshomaru said as Kagome tossed her piece of 'cloth' back.

"SORRY! It was an accident." Kagome yelped as Sesshomaru pulled up his now sagging boxers without comment.

Kagome sat still, blushing madly on the carpet, until Sesshomaru washed his plate and cup silently and left.

Kagome cursed her morning silently. "Oh shit...what a great way to start the day."

ooOOooOOooOOoooOOoo

Yea that's my lil page breaker now. I didn't think ffdotnet would change so much...

"Oh, god why was it so hot today???" complained Sango.

"I don't know...Nobody was even listening during class...I can't even remember what I was teaching them!" Kagome groaned as she sipped her iced-tea.

"Well it's the weekend...what do we do?" Sango added, "The students are all partying or hooking up and most of the teachers are getting on with their lives..."

"Ugh...I just want to sleep...in a freezer..." Kagome muttered with her head on the chrome table.

"Hey isn't that your new room-buddy? Mr. Cold and Creepy?" Sango said, gesturing towards Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru strode briskly past everyone. He glanced over at Kagome, and with an approving nod, he made his way past the crowd.

Kagome blinked once in a comical way, then twice.

'Did he forget about this morning? Or is he just ignoring it?' Kagome pondered.

"Whoa. He's hot. In a girly-boy-muscular-recluse sort of way." Then she smiled knowingly. "You just wanted to share a dorm with him so you could see him in 'clothes' didn't you? You pig..."

Kagome face burned and her voice rose, ever so squeakily. "No I didn't!" But her mind wandered away to the thoughts of this morning. Which she would never share with Sango for many reasons...

a) she would make up stories of love between the two. Not that bad but it would be embarrassing.

b) she would try hooking them together. Totally unacceptable. Or is it...hmm...

c) she would keep looking at him, therefore making Kagome look at him and remember a certain morning involving boxers.

'So there. I can't like him. He can keep his boxers to himself. And anything in it will NEVER involve me.' Kagome told herself.

"HELLO?..."

Kagome jolted upward, clearly startled by the mane of falling hair before her face. InuYasha's hands were on the table, close to hers. Kagome couldn't help noticing how tan and firm they seemed.

"H-hi InuYasha!" Kagome said perkily to cover up her embarrassment. But maybe a LITTLE too perkily.

Kagome glanced over at Sango with the newly arrived Miroku.

"Listen, do-" InuYasha stopped short and glared at Sango and Miroku.

Miroku gave him an almost rueful grin. "What? We have our rights sitting at the same table. Why can't we watch?"

InuYasha looked exasperated. Kagome sent a (hopefully) pleading look their way.

Sango sighed and got up. "Let's go. They don't want us. Well in their business anyway." She winked at Kagome and pulled Miroku away, arm linked in arm.

"Good luck asking her out InuYasha." Miroku shouted as he and Sango made way out the door.

The room was on its way to emptying, but the remaining students and teachers snickered silently.

InuYasha turned red.

Kagome cocked her head innocently to one side.

"So where are you gonna take me on this date?" she asked sweetly.

"It's not a date!" InuYasha responded, all too quickly.

(A/N: For some reason Thumbelina reminds me of Alice from Alice In Wonderland...And that Cornelius guy reminds me of a buff Peter Pan. Weird how Disney movies are like this.)

"Well then what were you going to say to me then?" Kagome felt a pang of guilt for InuYasha. She should have just let him go on his way of saying it. Even if it would take a little longer.

InuYasha looked thoroughly perplexed. He was at a loss of words.

'Damn.' was all InuYasha thought now.

"Well this 'not date' seems very interesting. I'll go with you to wherever it is."

'Please say it really was a date and not a hook-up or something!!! That would SUCK.' were the words in Kagome's mind.

"You're really something, did you know that?"

"Thanks."

"I'll pick you up at...?"

"Well I actually don't know, so I'll meet you at...?"

"Why not just meet back at this school at 6?"

"Okay then. Sounds like a very interesting 'not date'. Is this a formal 'not date' or is it just a casual 'not date'?"

"Casual. I'm not into fancy stuff."

Kagome smiled her best smile. "Okay. See you then." She pecked him swiftly on the cheek and left, leaving a very red doggy boy to himself.

OooOOOOooOOooOooOooOooOooOooOo

Outside, Kagome was attacked.

Dumdumdum!

Well, okay, not exactly ATTACKED, but she was attacked by Miroku and Sango words of encouragement. Same thing.

"OO Kagome!!! You left him all blushing and red! How cute and love-story like! Somebody needs to die and make it all dramatic now! So you can make out with him while you're crying or something or course." Sango said, nodding dramatically.

Kagome hit her on the arm. "I'm not one of your story characters Sango..."

"Just kidding! Sheesh you must really like him!" Sango held her arm.

Kagome put on a modest smile. "He's really nice. It's cute to see him confused for once."

"OHOHOHO. I wonder just what you two will do after this 'not date' eh?" Miroku said nodding in a knowing smile.

"Hey-" Kagome stopped and looking down.

"You pervert!!!" Sango shrieked, kicking him away from Kagome.

Even as her friends fought (Well Sango did, Miroku just ran while covering his head...) Kagome couldn't help but thin about InuYasha and that girl. He kissed her. She shook her head, but her thoughts just drifted off to Sesshomaru. Her forbidden thoughts.

'I have a crush on Sesshomaru' ringing in her head.

OOooOOoOoOooOoOOoo

Whilst, somebody thinks something in particular as well.

'Kagome's cute.' but of course, this isn't Sesshomaru.

Let's just call this person a stalker shall we?

to be continued in chapter 5...
