"Alright..." Kagome grumbled into her pillow.

"I'm coming!! Jeez..." The second time she was woken up! She got groggily to her feet and slipped on her slippers. Slouching slightly, she grabbed her robe and shuffled to the front door. Sleepily, Kagome yanked it open.
"Yea?" The early morning sun hit her eyes, blinding her from view. She shielded her eyes with on hand.
"I need to use your phone." Said the person at the door. "I just moved and my house doesn't have one yet."
"Sure, c'mon in. Phone's in the kitchen." Said Kagome, sleep still evident in her voice.
"Thanks" said the man gruffly. He walked inside quickly, rushing to the kitchen. Kagome went back to her room and checked her clock again.
7:10 am.
"Oh not again!!" moaned Kagome, suddenly dashing around to get dressed. This was the first Tuesday that she would be late!! A few minutes later she ran into the kitchen but stopped dead in her tracks. There was man sitting at the counter using her phone. He was probably one of the most handsome guys she had ever seen. Long silver hair fell down his back, slightly curling at the end. His face was sharp and rugged and his eyes were the most interesting color. Amber, like the setting sun.
"Who are you?" The words seemed to flow out of her mouth. The man looked up briefly before whispering into the phone then putting it down with a soft click.
"I'm your new neighbor." He said flatly. He rose of the stool. Kagome noticed how fluid his movements were, like he was a seasoned fighter. But how could he be? He was so skinny! "Name's Inuyasha." He said, pushing a rough skinned hand forward. She took it slowly, feeling how large his hand was compared to hers.
"What no last name?" she asked, when they finished.
"Inuyasha is all you'll need to know." He said sharply. Kagome cringed inside slightly. He was testy for sure. Kagome mentally noted never to get on his bad side.
"My name is Kagome Higurashi, and I'm going to be late for work soon if I don't leave so I'm afraid you'll have to leave too." Said Kagome, turning to leave. His gaze was like a trap. One look and you're stuck for good.
"Just one quick question." Said Inuyasha as he followed her to the door. Kagome turned and gave him a curious gaze.
"Yes?"
"Do you know someone named Miroku Housi?" Kagome nodded.
"I work with him. I'm actually on my way to see him right now." Said Kagome. Inuyasha's face lit up when he heard her answer.
"Can I come?" He asked eagerly. "Please? I have something to say to the lecher." Kagome, nodded nervously.
"Um... sure I guess. Follow me." Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the sidewalk to the bus stop and sat on the bench. "So, when did you move here?" asked Kagome, willing to give this man a try.
"Just yesterday." He said, hands shoved into his jean pockets. "I used to move all around the world, but now my job has been modified so I stay in Japan from now on." Said Inuyasha. However, he realized what he was saying too late and glanced at Kagome with a hard glare. "You didn't hear that."
Kagome looked puzzled but nodded slowly. Just then the bus came and both got on, paying their share. The ride was uncomfortable. Neither wanted to talk anymore. Kagome was afraid she would say something wrong and Inuyasha was afraid he was going to give things away. When the bus slowed to a stop, Kagome rushed out and yelled over her shoulder to Inuyasha.
"We have to run from here. If I'm late I lose my job!" With that, Kagome sped off, her hair flying behind her. However, in an instant Inuyasha was at her side, a calm look on his face as he kept pace with her. Kagome glanced at him once as she slammed open the hospital doors and ran down the hallway.
'He must be in shape to be able to keep up with me...' thought Kagome. She slowed as they reached the small staff room. Opening it she saw only Sango there, reading the newspaper, another donut in her5 hand. How she managed to eat one day after day Kagome would never know. Sango glanced over the paper to say good morning to Kagome but stopped when she saw Inuyasha.
Her mouth opened slightly, showing some of the chewed donut she was about to swallow.
"Inu-Inuyasha?" she stuttered, letting the newspaper fall onto the table with a soft 'plop'. Inuyasha smirked. "Hey Sango, long time no see huh?" Kagome leaned against her locker in puzzlement at the interaction between the two. Did they know each other? However, Kagome didn't have a long time to ponder because just then Miroku enetered, holding two cups of coffee and smiling.
"And how are you two lovely ladies tod-"but he stopped when he saw Inuyasha standing there, with an even bigger smirk on.
"Inu-Inu-...." He stuttered, his mouth going slack.
"Long time no see, eh Miroku?"
