Disclaimer: I don't Own Inuyasha. Wish I did though.

Sorry that this chapter is so short and took so long to update. I had a writers block and I had to study for midterms. Hopefully, I'll have another chappie up by Christmas.

Thanks to all the great reviews I got. I really appreciate them. They gave me inspiration to continue this fic. (not to be all sappy or anything) .

Chapter Two: The Encounter

It may not be a widely known fact, but running down stairs chasing after a track star, can be tiring. Kagome found this crucial fact out the hard way. Their dorm rooms were on the sixth floor of a seven story building, and the fact that Kagome had spent all summer lounging on the couch, eating junk food, didn't exactly help her physical condition.

By the time they got to the third floor, Kagome was out of breath (surprisingly, running, screaming, and throwing stuff at the same time can be very exhausting). Kouga and Inuyasha were still running around and screaming like maniacs, annoying anyone that was within earshot of them, which was everyone in the dorm building.

Apparently they were part of the weird species of guys that like to work out during their summer vacation. Either that, or they were on caffeine highs. Whatever it was, they couldn't possibly be human.

After running up and down the stairs for a few more minutes, Kagome accidentally tripped and fell. Considering they were on the seventh floor by this time, and since this school was a relatively rich school, the stairs were all made of marble.

An important bit of information to remember is that falling down seven flights of marble stairs is not a comfortable experience. It's very possible to slip and crack your head open and that's not comfortable either.

This just happens to be what happened to Kagome, but fortunately for her, there happened to be a person at the bottom of the stairs. Unfortunately for the person at the bottom of the stairs, she slipped seven steps above him and crashed into him, forcing him back several steps, where he hit his head on the wall behind him. That too, was made of solid marble.

After hitting his head on the wall and nearly passing out, the poor boy looked down and realized that the reason he now had a bump the size of a melon on the back of his head was that a girl rammed into him. Considering that the boy was very good-looking, he thought that it was probably one of his hundreds of rabid-fangirl-stalkers stalking him.

Hastily pushing the girl off him, he straightened his clothes and glared at the form laying on the ground. As she looked up to give him a large (and very loud) piece of his mind, she glanced to the side and saw Inuyasha and Kouga lying on the further down the stairs, writhing in crimson pools of their own blood, with knives impaled through various places on their bodies.

You see, when Kagome lost her balance and fell, she lost hold of all 579 knives there she was holding at the time. Miraculously, all 579 of them found their way to imbed themselves in Kouga and Inuyasha. Despite the fact that Kagome could probably kill someone in an instant with her mad skills, she was squeamish and didn't like the sight of blood very much. Too bad.

While Kouga and Inuyasha were lying, in agony, on the stairs, Sesshomaru (who was still under the impression that Kagome was one of his fans) was fuming over the fact that the girl that had so rudely crashed into him hadn't even apologized to him for ruining (wrinkling) his shirt.

Not one to be ignored, he sauntered up to her fallen form and demanded an apology in his usual holier-than-thou attitude, which consisted of no less than "Listen, you whack-job, leave me alone, don't ever come within a 5-mile radius of me again, I don't ever want to see your ugly mug again, and I believe you own me an apology."

"WHAT! It's not my fault I have two guys, I just met, groping me left and right! Why the fucking hell do you think I've been chasing these GODDAMN DIMWITS around the whole damn building! Although admittedly, these dimwits aren't that bad." sounding like a crazed lunatic and breathing hard for the exercise and exertion of energy, she motioned at said dimwits as she said this.

The man noticed for the first time that there were, indeed, two guys laying on the ground in pools of their own blood...which he also happened to be standing in. Which efficiently ruined his shoes. His new shoes. His new shoes that he got yesterday. Sesshomaru's family is relatively filthy rich, so his shoes were made of the finest Italian leather and cost nearly $400. Not a good idea to step on them. Not that Kagome knew that. But, on the other hand, Sesshomaru didn't know that Kagaome didn't know that.

This, coupled with the fact that she had just yelled her brains out at him did not sit well with him. 'No one, and I mean no one, get away with insulting this Sesshomaru.' he thought. As he opened his mouth to tell her off, Inuyasha magically regained conscience, stood up, and started pulling the 434 knives out of him. Seeing as he was closer to Kagome than Kouga was, when they were running for their lives, 3/4 of the knives went for him.

Seeing Sesshomaru about to tell off whats-her-face, Inuyasha decided that she was almost decent-looking and stepped in to play the part of the knight-in-shining-armor (or blood, in his case). Quirking a perfectly sculpted eyebrow at the newcomer, Inuyasha (forevermore to be known as Inu no Baka jk).

In response, Inu no baka told him that he was a "pompus prick with a 10-foot pole stuck up his ass." Predictably, a war of words ensued after this. While all of this was going on, Kagome, who was sitting on a nearby stair, decided that they were bickering like an old married couple...so she said, "Do you two know each other?" the fact that they were on a first name basis, had the same hair color, had the same eye color, and were both unbeleiveably good-looking somehow managed to escape her.

Upon hearing this statement, both men stopped their bickering, turned on her, and uttered a simultaneous, "Obviously." While Inuyasha went on to rant about someone named "Lord Fluffy" and his arrogant ass, Sesshomaru dangerously hissed two more words: "We're half-brothers."

At the shock of hearing this, Kagome said the first thing that came to her mind, "You two have issues, don't you?" At this comments, both brothers glanced in her direction, sneereed, and went right back to bickering.
