A/N: Ok, first off, I just want to say THANK YOU!!! I love all you guys! Shout out to LCA for being so damn persistent and observant. All things about his hair will be revealed IN FREAKIN TIME. Just give me a chance to write it. Don't worry, I thought of that angle.

Strangers in the Night

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, clueless.

Sango laughed at her friend's ignorance. "You know what I mean. I saw the way you looked at Inuyasha. I was going to go get a bucket, you were drooling so much."

"Uh!" Kagome exclaimed, embarrassed that she was so obvious. "You don't think he noticed do you?"

"No. He was too busy checking you out."

"WHAT!?!" Kagome screamed, blushing a bright burgundy, but smiling widely.

The two girls giggled.

Inuyasha made it home just as the sun was going down. He walked into the kitchen to see Sessho-maru snacking on a piece of pizza. "What took ya so long?" he asked with a mouthful of sausage and cheese.

"I uh..." Inuyasha panicked... "there was a long line at the movie rental place." He said quickly then headed for the pizza.

Sessho-maru looked shocked. "Really? Usually there's no one in there." He raised and eyebrow.

Inuyasha choked, "huh, weird."

"Why don't you tell me why you're really late." Sessho-maru said, with a no-nonsense tone.

"Well...I was running back from getting the movie and I accidentally ran into this girl and knocked her groceries all over. I felt bad, so I helped her carry them home... That's all..." Inuyasha said, not looking at his brother.

"You like her don't you?"

He hesitated for a minute, "She's beautiful." He blushed.

"Alright loverboy, I told you this place wouldn't be that bad. Now, let's start the movie."

The girls started making spaghetti. They had it just about done when Miroku walked in.

"Mmm, smells good ladies."

Sango stopped stirring the sauce mid-stir and blushed.

Kagome saw this but decided to let it go unnoticed. "Thanks bro, you better be hungry because we haven't slaved all day over that mildly hot stove to make this simple meal for you."

They laughed. "Don't worry, I am. Hello Sango, how are you?"

"Good, great! How are you?" she asked, laughing nervously.

"Hungry!"

"Well, then, let's eat!" And that they did.

After dinner, the three decided to have a bonfire by the shore. They got it all ready, s'mores included, and relaxed by the flames.

"Maybe we should see if any of the neighbors want to come," Miroku said.

"Sure, we could go ask," Kagome said getting up and grabbing Sango's arm.

"We'll be right back."

"Here," Sessho-maru said while handing Inuyasha a glass of Dr. Pepper.

"Thanks, I need this," Inuyasha said, chugging it down. Instantly he felt better. "Whos did you say makes this?"

"Kaide, an old friend of mom and dad's," Sessho-maru said, rewinding the movie.

"How did she figure out what keeps a half demon human?"

Sessho-maru shrugged, "I don't know, be thankful though. I mean, now you appear normal, you can blend in! Isn't that what you've always wanted?"

"Yeah, I guess..."

The doorbell rang.

'I wonder who it is? No one here knows us...' Inuyasha thought.

Sessho-maru opened the door and froze. The most beautiful girl was standing right in front of him, smiling and holding a stick with marshmallows on it.

"Hi! I'm Kagome," she said, holding out her hand. He shook it.

"My name is Sessho-maru."

"This is Sango," she said pointing to the girl behind her.

"Sorry for disturbing you but we saw that your light was on and we were wondering if you'd like to join us at out bonfire?"

"Uhh..." He said, not quite sure how to talk anymore, "what do you think Inuyasha?"

Kagome's eyes lit up and she blushed, "Oh, you live with Inuyasha?"

"Yes, he's my brother," Sessho-maru said, waving the question off.

"Sounds like fun," Inuyasha said.

"Great! Well, see ya there!" Sango said pulling Kagome away.

Down at the fire, the boys met each other and talked a bit about the area. The girls sat quietly on the other side of the fire, admiring the glow the fire had on the boy's faces.

Just then Inuyasha looked over and his eyes met with Kagome's just for a second, before she looked away. 'Was she just looking at me?' he wondered, his stomach fluttered. 'Good thing it's dark out...' he thought, while he blushed.

A/N: I like s'mores.
