The Roommate: Chapter 4
Summary: AU: Kagome Higurashi, aspiring actress, realizes that she has no money left over to pay for her rent so she posts and ad for a roommate. Inuyasha Takeimo, a bankrupt actor in need of a place to stay...
"Who does he think he is?" I shouted as I did another flip on the uneven bars.
"Kagome you're going to hurt yourself!" My trainer, Mr. Aitsu, said as he tried to catch me when I switched bars.
"How is he going to (pant) call me a whore in front of (pant) everybody? Who does her (pant) think he is?" I continued as I switched back. I ignored the burning feeling in my chest. My heartbeatwas increasing as fast as my anger.
"How can he do (pant) that? How can he (pant) call me a wannabe? A BITCH? (pant pant)" I continued to go back and forth on the bars.
"YOUR GONNA FALL KAGOME!" The trainer shoutrf as hecought me. We fell to the ground and rolled. I snapped back to Earth.
"Sorry Mr. Aitsu." I said and pick up my towel.
"No problem. As long as you are in shape." He said as I pat away the sweat thatwas dripping on my face. Sango picked that moment to walk into the room.
"Hey Kags. Hey Aitsu. How was the training?" She asked.
"It was fine. Kagome was so worked up, she trained double the lesson." He replieed, sounding impressed.
"Wow. C'mon Kagome. I'll drive you to Najidensoko Theater School." Sango said and took her keys out of her pockets. I nodded and we headed out to her car.
"When did you change?" I asked, noticing that she now had on jeans and a pink sweater.
"Oh... Uhm... Miroku came over after Inuyasha started to cry about his money problems. You know that he is broke?" Sango rambled.
"Miroku?" I asked as I opened the passenger door.
"Yea. Inuyasha's friend. The guy he was with." Sango replied nonchalantly. I looked at her in mock horror.
"Your trying to tell me that Sango, THE SANGO, has a boyfriend? And it's after 5th grade!" I exclaimed. Sango narrowed her eyes at me.
"Har Har. Very funny. And he isnt my boyfriend! Just a friend!" Sango said and silence fell over the car like a quilt.
::NAJIDENSOKO THEATERICAL SCHOOL::
I looked down at the paper thatwas on the lap of my green uniform skirt. Itwas to the middle of my thigh. The sailor shirtdidn't help either. I looked down at the paper that Mr. Osaka told me to copy.
"Higurashi? Would you please?" I heard a voice say. I looked up and see Mr. Baka at the door, and Mr. Osaka practically worship the very ground hewas standing on.
"Yes Kagome. Please act it out with Hojo." I walked up to the front of the class and heave in and out. Hojo started.
"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
I zoned out.
"Okay. That is act 2 scene 2." I mumbled to myself.
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
that I might touch that cheek!"
I zone back.
"Uhm... Ay me!" I say. Hojo smiled.
"She speaks: O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air." He voice mildly cracked. I sighed.
Poor little Hojo. Always the shy one, I thought as I prepared for my part.
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet" I stressed Capulet, to indicate that Iwas not going on. Mr. Osaka seemed to have caught the drift because he started to clap. Mr. Baka nodded and left the room.
"Congrats Higurashi. You get better and better at acting everyday." Mr. Osaka gushed. I grinned in spite of myself. After a little more doodling in my notebook, the bell rang. (Sara: I know this class was fast but I don't want to ramble.)
"Wait up Higurashi!" Hojo called. I stopped and turned around.
"I was thinking. Do you want to go to the movies on Friday?" He asked. I opened my mouth but he quickly added, "Or we can go to my house and watch the Shakespeare movie." I smiled.
"Well I do love Willy Shakespeare." I reply. Hojo's face lit up.
"Cool! I'll pick you up at seven!" He called gleefully as he ambled down the hallway. I rolled my eyes at his back and picked up my book bag. I boarded the bus and sat in the back.
"Now Inuyasha went and ruined my whole day." I mumbled as I look out the window at the buildings flying by blurrily.
::AT THE APARTMENT::
I reached for my key chain conveniently at the bottom of my book bag.
"Kami Inuyasha. You just had to rain on my parade." I mumbled as I continue to feel around for the key.
"YIPPIE! I found it!" I yelled gleefully as I do a little dance while twirling the key on my finger.
Bad idea.
The key flung off my finger and speared behind me making a light WOOSH sound.
"Ow!" I turned around and see Inuyasha behind me.
"Watch where your keys are flying wench." He growled causing his ears to twitch.
"How cute." I said under my breath.
Bad idea
His narrowed his eyes.
"You think I'm cute don't you?" He said and gave a toothy grin. I shook my head rapidly.
"Yea you do. I heard you. You said"-he cleared his throat and changed it to an eerie high-pitched one-"how cute" I roll edmy eyes.
"You think I'm sexy huh?" He said and steps closer to me. I could feel his rough jeans on my bare legs. He lowered his head down to my height.
"Don't you?" He whispered. I pushed him off and knocked on the door.
"Don't you know that you don't have a roommate anymore?" He asked. On cue, Sango opened the door.
"Hewo..." She tried to talk, but I noticed the chicken shreds dribbling off of her chin, and the grease around her mouth. I stepped into my apartment, silently thanking Kami I gave Sango a key.
"Why are you over here anyway?" I asked.
"Visiting Kikyou's." He said and pointed next to my apartment.
"She moved next door?!" Sango said after swallowing. He nodded, shrugged and walked away.
"What an ass." I said as I closed the door. Sango shrugged and returned to her dinner in front of the TV.
"Sango?"
"Yes?"
"Is that my Hungry Man?"
"Uh-huh."
"Okay." I walked over the door, opened it, and got the mail out of the slot. I got through it out loud.
"Junk, Kikyou's, Junk, Light bill, Trainer bill. Hmm..." I said as I dropped all of the other letters.
I looked at the bill in my hands.
"Sango." I said calmly. She looked up from her TV dinner.
"Yes."
"How much did you say that trainer was?"
"Uhm about 125 dollars."
"Oh... Sango?"
"Yes?"
"He was actually 725 dollars."
"Oh... I think I read the 1 wrong."
"Oh...Sango?"
"Yes."
"I hate you."
"I know."
"And Sango?"
She fully turned away from the TV.
"You know that I only get 725 every week or so right?" Sango nodded.
"And you know the rent is due in two days right?" She nodded again.
"Sango I cant afford to pay." Sango's eyes grew wide.
"Sango?"
"Yes Kagome?"
"Get... out... NOW!" And with that Sango jumped up and runned out of the house before I can take another breath. I walked to my room calmly.
"Its Okay Kagome. Nothing is going to happen Kagome. Everything is alright Kagome." I said to myself. I locked my room door and sat in the middle of the floor.
"Don't worry Kagome. You life is over. It doesn't matter. Forget about your dreams. You can just move back to the Shrine. Be with Gramps. Make fake spells. Play Tekken with Souta... WAIT! I can make posters for a Roommate! That's it! I can get a roommate! Yippee! Problem solved!" I shouted and jumped into bed, fully clothed.
"I can get Kikyou back. Or maybe Sango will move in." I said to myself as Iwas lulled to sleep by the sound of wind crashing against the window.
Sara: Fixed it.
Incase you don't get it, here is a basic summary.
Kagome is depressed from what Inuyasha said (you'll find out why later on) and everything bad starts to happen in symmetrical order. And she encounters Inuyasha outside her door and he claims that she thinks he is sexy. And she finds out that Kikyou lives next door now. While inside, she finds out that she was misinformed about the price of the trainer and is actually spending her two week paycheck on one trainer, which she must pay every week for the part of Sachii. To make matters worse, she stills has a light bill to pay. So she goes to her room and starts planning life without accomplishing her dream of becoming an actress. But she fights back against her thoughts and plans on getting a roommate to help her pay the bills.
Next chapter preview:
"Good morning." I begin. "Did you sleep well?" I usually talk in the morning. And usually, Kikyou tells me to shut up, get a life, or the ever creative "What's your problem?" But I am so used to having a roommate, it doesn't bother me to talk to myself. Especially since I have been doing it for weeks now. I reach for the Colgate and it slips out of my hand like a bar of soap. I look back up at my reflection.
"This is gonna be a bad day."Hey whats that down there!
It looks so cool
Not here but lower
And lower
And lower
And lower
See it too?
Kinda purple and says some words on it.
