A/N: Ok, so, I haven't gotten any reviews on chapter one, but it's been up for all of three hours, so that's to be expected. However! I already knew what was going to happen in this chapter, so I'm writing it anyway. I don't write when I get lots of reviews, I write when my little muse (a vicious eagle named Fluffy) bites me and makes me hurry up. Also, I think I've changed the spelling of Keiko's name from Kaiko to Keiko. My computer spell check doesn't like Kaiko, but it's fine with Keiko, so I'm using Keiko. So, here you go. Chapter Two of No Matter What They Tell Us! Enjoy!
Chapter Two: Just Looking For Ramen…
It took the seven teenagers very little time to unpack. Keiko explained to Kagome that they were allowed to wear their own school's uniforms because they were only going to be at her school for a few weeks.
"So, Keiko, what happened to your school? Kurama said an accident…" Kagome was helping Keiko set up a futon next to her bed.
Keiko blushed, although she looked more angry than embarrassed. "Well, this demon tried to take over our school, looking for Yusuke, and Yusuke blew it up… but he kinda blew up a wing of the school? So… yeah. They have to rebuild it."
Kagome, by this time, was on the floor laughing. "That sounds… so much… like… InuYasha," she gasped out. Keiko looked confused.
"InuYasha?"
"Errr… just a friend of mine." Kagome sweat dropped as Keiko looked at her oddly. As much as she liked this girl, she wasn't ready to explain about the well. To distract her, Kagome asked, "So, what's up with you and Yusuke?"
Keiko blushed again, then looked mad. "He's such a jerk. He can be so sweet sometimes but then he says something totally stupid and ruins the moment. I mean, sometimes I want to hate him but I can't, because I love him." She was sitting on her bed now, eyes watery. Kagome sat down next to her and slung an arm around her shoulders.
"That sounds like InuYasha. Just be glad that he isn't still in love with a dead girlfriend who's been reanimated that wants to take him to hell…"
"What?"
"Don't ask, long story. Believe me. It could be worse." Kagome smiled. "Want some ice cream?"
Keiko laughed. "Sure."
The girls trooped down the stairs (after collecting Boton and Yukina, cause what girl passes up free ice cream?) and Kagome led them all to the kitchen. "Ok, vanilla or chocolate?" After dishing out ice cream, the girls retired back to Kagome's room and locked the door.
Boton smiled evilly. "Ok. Time to play 20 questions. When it's your turn, you get to ask one other person a question. They have to answer it honestly… but remember. You have to answer whatever's asked of you. Yukina, you first."
Yukina blinked a few times, thinking hard. "Ok. Keiko. Do you love Yusuke?"
Keiko blushed hard. "Yes…" She shook her head. "My turn. Kagome, who is InuYasha?"
Kagome gulped. "Well, none of this is going to leave the room, right?" The other girls all nodded ferverently. "Ok, then. InuYasha is a half dog demon who lives in the Feudal Era." Before Boton could ask about how she knew him, then, Kagome cut her off. "My turn. This is for everyone. Who thinks that Hiei and Kurama are both gay and should seriously end up with each other?" All four people raised their hands, laughing.
The questioning went on until dinner time. At that point, the boys (namely Yusuke and Kuwabara) began pounding on the door. "Come on, you guys. It's dinner. We're hungry." Keiko's fists clenched at the demanding tone to her boyfriend's voice.
"Oh, Yusuke… QUIET!" She stood up and opened the door, glaring at Yusuke who wisely had decided to cower behind Kuwabara. "We'll eat when Kagome says so. It's her house, and you should get no say in anything, seeing as how you're the reason we're all here." She turned to Kagome and smiled politely. "Would it be too much trouble to ask you to help us find something to eat?"
Grinning because Keiko sounded so much like Sango, Kagome shook her head. "Not at all. Although I hope you like Ramen, that's all I have." Turned out that ramen was fine with everyone, so Kagome started making lots of it. Soon, the smell of ramen filled the whole house… and the well house too.
"Oi, wench. What's with all the…" InuYasha's voice trailed off as he walked into the kitchen. Everyone froze as the dog demon entered the kitchen. Kagome sighed and waited for the inevitable outburst. "WHO THE HELL ARE THEY?"
"SIT!" Kagome yelled, causing InuYasha to go crashing to the floor. "These are my guests, InuYasha. They're staying with me for a few weeks while their school is rebuilt. Please, be civil, because you aren't even supposed to be here. I told you I wasn't going to be back for a while, you said that was fine. So, let me ask you, WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
InuYasha, now able to stand up, glared at Kagome. "Jeez, wench. I just came to see if you'd let me take some ramen back. We ran out. But if they're staying, I'm staying."
Kagome dropped her chin to her chest and put a hand on her forehead. "Fine. Sit down, I'll make you some ramen."
InuYasha sat down next to Keiko, directly across from Kurama. He stared at the kitsune across the table, glaring in a threatening manner. Kurama's normally green eyes started to slide to gold, and InuYasha fell off his chair. "Who are you?"
"Kurama."
"As in, Youko Kurama?"
"Yes."
"Ai… Kagome, how did HE end up here?"
Kagome, in the middle of making InuYasha's ramen, turned to look at Kurama. Then she looked blankly at InuYasha. "You know him?"
InuYasha snorted. "This is the great thief, Youko Kurama. You've never read about this kitsune in that school of yours?"
Kagome though for a minute, then her eyes widened. "Oh, Kami-sama… you're him?" At Kurama's nod, she glomped him. "You're so cool! And from the pictures, Youko's really hot too!" She stepped back. "Why don't you look like him? I mean, you're cute. But you aren't seven feet tall and you don't have the ears…"
Kurama scratched the back of his head. "That's a long story…"
A/N: See? I added Inu. And ok, so I lied. She'll probe them soon, though. And you'll see. Interesting things will happen…
