The Boardroom

Meet and Greet

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha or any of the characters, I don't own the boarding house, all I own is the story.

Kagome sighed as she placed the last item of clothing away. Pushing closed the drawer of the dresser she looked around her room once again trying to get the fact to stick. 'This is my room. Mine! Not Kikyou's, not Souta's not anyone elses. Mine! Allllllllllllllll MINE!Mine,mine,mine,mine,MINE!' Kagome did a little dance around the room as she thought about this and almost tripped over one of her boxes.

Stumpling a few steps Kagome blushed and looked around hoping no one had seen her doing that. Sighing in relief when she saw that she was still alone in the room she put a hand to her mouth and giggled slightly. She was still giddy even though she had been unpacking for a good hour or so.

After her mother and Sesshomaru had left Kagome had taken the chance to check and prove her theory about the window seat was correct in it being hollow. She had also found that she had a large walk in closet just beside one of the dressers hiding it from view if you only just walk into the room.

She had started her unpacking with her clothes and was now looking around the room wondering where she was going to put the rest of her stuff. Just as she was about to pick up the box she had tripped on Kagome heard the opening and closing of the front door followed by the sounds of lots of people walking into the house.

Looking around curiously Kagome decided that unpacking could wait untill after she had gotten a glimpse of the other people in the house. Hopping over the box Kagome skipped her way through the mini maze of the rest of her boxes and to the door opening it a crack and slipping out.

As she entered the hall she beamed in delight seeing her best friend Sango topping the stairs. About ready to throw herself at her friend in greeting Kagome stopped in surprise at the person walking behind Sango. He was average height and had shiney black hair pulled up in an interesting twist on the top of his head. His eyes were either a very dark grey or black and he wore loose jeans with a bright pink t-shirt.

Staring at the two walking down the hall curiously Kagome didn't relaize that they hadn't seen her as they were talking together and were on a crash course with her. Impact in three,two, one, Houston we have contact.

The three of them went down in a surprised heap as Sango let out a yelp at hitting something and Jakotsu shouted out a warning too late. Kagome snapped out of her trance at Jakotsu's yell but didn't manage to get out of the way in time to stop Sango from smacking into her and Jakotsu from tripping over Sango.

"Sango! Jakotsu! You two alright? What's going on up there?" A voice shouted up from downstairs quickly followed by the sounds of footsteps on the stairs. Kagome, Sango, and Jakotsu all just groaned as they tried to untangle themselves.

Kagome almost groaned again when she saw who it was coming up the stairs. A tall man with piercing blue eyes and a long black pony tail stared at the three of them an obviously amused look on his face. Then the amusement faded to be replaced by joy as he caught sight of Kagome.

"Kagome! What are you doing here? Did you finaly relaize that you couldn't be apart from me as I can't be apart from you?"Kouga asked helping her up. Kagome laughed weakly and shot Sango and Jakotsu an imploring look begging them to help her out.

"Heh,heh, Kouga, hi, no, um, you see I just moved in here. My uh, mother thought it would be a good life experience for me to get out of the house and live with other people for a while."Kagome said as she tried to tug her arm out of Kouga's grasp. Kouga just nodded to everything she said not hearing a word.

"Saaayyyyy Kouga!"Jakotsu said slipping up to the two of them and slipping Kagome's arm out of Kouga's hand as he grabbed Kouga's arm. " I just remembered that I needed someone to help me uh, do the um, garage! Yes I need help cleaning out the garage! Why don't you be a dear and help me out hmm?"Jakotsu asked as he started to drag one confused Kouga away from Kagome.

"Uuuhh sure Jakotsu, but didn't we just clean the garage yesterday?"Kouga asked as Jakotsu lead him downstairs.

"Yes,yes we did. But it just got dirty allllll over again!"Jakotsu's voice floated up the stairs to the two giggling girls as they looked at the stairs. Kagome turned to Sango and sighed exaggeratedly getting another round of giggles from her friend as Sango nodded.

"Kagome! It's great to have you living here. When you said you would be moving out I never thought you would be coming here! This is great! Which room did you get?"Sango asked as she looked at the rooms on the right side of the hall. Kagome smiled at Sango's obvious enthusiasm and joy.

"The last one on the right."Kagome said as she looked down the stairs wondering if it would still be ok to go and see the other people in the house. Sango followed her friends gaze and smacked her hand to her forehead as relization came to her that Kagome wouldn't have been able to meet everyone with them all out.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone. And warn you who to stay away from."Sango said grabbing Kagome's arm by the elbow almost dragging her friend behind her as she went down the stairs. Kagome blinked and babbled out a quick thank you as she was almost hauled down the stairs and into the downstairs hallway.

Sango paused and looked around trying to spot anyone. When she didn't see anyone she cocked her head to the side and listened for sounds of activity. Finding some she began dragging Kagome all over again in the direction that she heard people in.

Going down the hall Sango threw open the door to the rec room and smiled as four people turned to look at who had opened the door. Kagome blinked recognizing Sesshomaru from earlier sitting in one of the recliners a book held in one hand.

The other three men in the room stared at the two girls with obvious confusion written on their faces. Two of them were sitting at a table looking over some paper with a pair of binoculars and some safari hats held in their hands. The taller one had short black hair tied in a mini pony tail with light blue almost grey eyes. The shorter one had a long braid that seemed to change length everytime he moved his head but was generally down past his waist and glittering deep blue eyes.

The other man in the room was slightly shorter than Sesshomaru but taller than the other two. He had long silver hair and bright golden eyes that stared at the two curiously. He had small fuzzy white dog ears attached to his head that were perked forward as though he were listening to something.His expression darkened when he saw Kagome. Standing up the man burshed past them getting a surprised look from Sango and a sigh from Kagome.

She should have known that if Sesshomaru lived here Inu Yasha would too. They had been friends once upon a time. Then he had dated her sister and things had gone sour. Kagome wasn't exactly ashamed to admit she had had a crush on the guy,ok maybe she still did. But he had gone after her sister just like everyone else. And then had blamed her when things didn't work out between him and Kikyou even though she had warned him they wouldn't.

Looking over at the other two men in the room who were watching her and Sango with curious expressions as well the taller one stood and crossed over to Kagome. Smiling charmingly at her he held out his hand about to introduce himself when Sango's hand shot out and pushed his back at him.

"Kagome, this is Miroku, he and his partner in crime Bankotsu over there are the two that you have to watch out for, possibly more than Kouga. They are notorious perverts and have no shame. The man who saved you from Kouga earlier is Jakotsu and Bankotsu's older brother." Sango said simply glaring at both Miroku and Bankotsu who both looked stung by what Sango had said.

Kagome looked at the two of them not quite believing that they could be as bad as Sango had said. Then she saw again the binoculars and safari hats and could only wonder what they were planing on using them for. Giving the two another inspection Kagome decided that she couldn't see anything really bad about them now but to be wary of them anyway, it never did to ignore a friends warning.

"Sango! That is cruel and unfair pronouncement! Bankotsu and I are meerly men who appreciate some of the finer features of life."Miroku said as he placed a hand over his heart looking hurt. Sesshomaru in the corner snorted softly and turned the page of the book he was reading not even looking up.

"Especially when those finer features happen to be a part of the female anatomy."Sesshomaru said in his usual monotone voice. Sango smiled and laughed slightly as Bankotsu and Miroku sighed in defeat.

"Come on Miroku let's go somewhere else and plan our...birdwatching trip."Bankotsu said picking up the papers and his set of binoculars. Miroku nodded and gathered his own things. Giving a little bow to Kagome as he left Miroku flashed her one last smile and wink while Bankotsu just went straight out. Sango glared at the door for a moment after they had left before rolling her eyes and staring at the ceiling as if it could tell her why.

Kagome smiled at Sesshomaru who nodded to her and turned back to his book. Sango looked over at Kagome and then at Sesshomaru and smiled as well.

"Well it seems you have already met Sesshomaru, so all you have to do now is actually meet Jakotsu and Inu Yasha and you will have met everyone else living here."Sango said happily as she grabbed Kagome's hand again about to drag her off in search of Inu Yasha not noticing the dark expression on her friends face.

"I already know Inu Yasha."Kagome snapped looking off to the side with a huff. Sango stopped and blinked looking at Kagome, then she blinked again and made an O shape with her mouth as she relaized something.

"So the Inu Yasha I've been living with all this time is your old Inu Yasha?"Sango asked and Kagome nodded still fuming. Sango grimaced slightly looking off to the side. "Well, that explains his reaction. In that case, welcome to The Boarding House of Doom! Hope your stay doesn't kill you!"Sango bubbled and Kagome looked at her friend wondering about her mental health.

Authors note: Ok sorry about not posting in a while, mostly I just couldn't figure out how to get Kagome to meet everyone. I had vauge ideas about how I wanted her to meet them but getting it to flow together was the problem. And you all owe thanks to Eboni for reminding me to update, though I honestly could have done without some of the mental images she gave me.

Oh and to answer a question yes it will be a Kagome Inu Yasha fic. And no Bankotsu and Jakotsu are not going to be getting together in this they are brothers and Bankotsu is straight. I don't know why or how but I have this image floating around in my head of Miroku and Bankotsu crouched down in a flower shop behind some bushes with those binoculars and safari hats staring at girls in a mall.

Also keep in mind this is AU so I can tweak with characters personalities somewhat so I will be doing that.Though I will try and keep them as true to character as situations allow.Not making any promises for if the situation is someone being hyper,drunk, or other reasons for making people act out of character.
