It had been a week since her and Sango had gone to the mall. Every thing had been going good so far (except for the occasional fight with Inuyasha). Kagome had been having a great time working at The Bean. Koharu was so nice, as were the other workers. Kagome walked out into the living room, and glanced at the couch. Inuyasha was laying there watching Miroku playing video games, while Sango read a magazine on the floor.

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and said, "Could you move over a bit?" Inuyasha glanced at her, which immediately turned into a glare. Kagome sighed, knowing that they were probably going to fight. Yes, she only lived there for one week but she could tell that Inuyasha was a cool guy. But Inuyasha seemed to hate her.

"No." She glared back at Inuyasha who was now watching the game again.

"Move," she threatened, "or I will sit on you." Inuyasha just gave her another glare and shifted, making himself more comfortable. By now, Miroku and Sango had turned and starting watching the impending fight. That had become their form of entertainment for the past week.

Kagome just turned and sat on his stomach. Inuyasha exhaled loudly and exclaimed, "Get off, you cow!"

Kagome turned slightly to glare at him (she really had been doing that a lot lately...) and leaned back on the couch. Soon, Inuyasha gave up. Kagome let herself relax and Sango continued reading. Miroku restarted his game and was kicking some villain's ass, when there was a very loud crash.

Seconds later, they could all easily hear yelling. Inuyasha gave a groan and Miroku and Sango scrambled behind the couch. Kagome just looked at them, confused. "What's going on?" she asked to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked up and answered, "The people down stairs always fight."

Miroku leaned around the couch. "There are two apartments downstairs. The one below yours lives a girl named Kagura, with her older sister Kanna. The apartment below ours lives a guy named Naraku, with his father Onigumo. Naraku is the cousin of Kagura and Kanna. Kagura hates Naraku, so they always fight. But when they do fight the hallway is considered a war-zone."

Kagome looked puzzled for a moment before jumping off of Inuyasha. She walked outside, ignoring the warnings of Sango and Miroku. She peered downstairs and could see two people. One was a guy with long wavy black hair pulled back into a half-way ponytail. His red eyes were glaring at the girl whose was yelling at him. She shivered and walked back inside. "They look...creepy," she commented. "But I still don't get why that would be considered a war-zone."

Inuyasha snorted. "They're demons. If you get between them they'll rip you to pieces." Kagome rolled her eyes and sat right back down on Inuyasha. Inuyasha groaned and muttered, "You are going to suffocate me."

Kagome scoffed. "If I'm sitting on your stomach, I can't suffocate you." Kagome looked thoughtful, then added, "Stupid."

Inuyasha retorted with a, "Wench." They continued insulting each other, unaware of Miroku and Sango watching them.

"You know," Sango whispered, "they would make a cute couple."

Miroku nodded. "But he's going out with-"

"Yah, yah, I know but still." Sango sighed. "Oh well."

Miroku jumped out for the couch. "Come on, love birds, stop fighting and make out...I mean...up," he finished with a sweet yet perverted smile. That received a death glare from the both of them.

Then, suddenly Kagome jumped off of Inuyasha and rushed to her room, all the way yelling, "I can't believe I totally forgot about it!"

Sango threw a confused glance at Kagome's shut door. "Okay..."

About an hour later Kagome finally came out of her room and sat on the couch. She looked really nice, which Miroku showed by acting like...well...like, Miroku. "Please, my fair maiden, stay with me and bare my child." Kagome threw a pillow at him and then Sango attacked. Kagome watched them fight. 'They would be such a cute couple...' she thought, smiling softly. Inuyasha was surprisingly no where to be found.

Another hour passed. Inuyasha came out, acting angrier than usual. Kagome kept glancing at the door, an irritated look on her face. Sometime during the hour, Kagome had fished her cell phone out of her room, and also kept glancing at it. Soon her cell phone rang, catching everyone's attention. Kagome ran into the kitchen, quickly unflipping her phone and bringing it up to her ear.

Miroku paused their game and they all crept toward the kitchen. They listened intently. "Hey, where are you? You were supposed to pick me up an hour ago...What do you mean?" At first, her voice was aggravated. Then, it quickly declined to murmurs that they couldn't hear. They got up ready to leave (well, they really couldn't hear anything so what was the point of staying?) when Kagome started yelling. "YOU JERK! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT!" Kagome then flung the cell phone across the room, letting it smash into the wall. She ran out of the kitchen tears streaming down her cheeks.

She slammed her door. Sango, worried for her friend, walked over to the shut door, and tried to get Kagome out. Her attempt failed. Then Miroku tried to get Kagome out. The only response he got was Kagome opening her door enough to fling a large book at him. His attempt, obviously, failed. Inuyasha just watched them, curious to what was wrong with his roommate.


It was around midnight. Inuyasha was sitting next to the window, trying to find some stars. In his hand was a delicate silver chain, which had a beautiful tear drop crystal on. In the crystal was a drop of shining amber. It sparkled innocently in the moonlight. He sighed. He hated new moons. He turned his head, distracted, when he heard a door creaking open. He watched as Kagome stumbled out of her room. She started walking to the kitchen when she saw him. "What are you doing up?" she asked.

Inuyasha shook his head. Then he asked, "What are you doing up?"

Kagome sleepily walked over towards him and sat down, leaning her head on his leg. "Can't sleep."

Inuyasha stared down at her. He knew he shouldn't really been asking her questions. But he was curious, so he asked, "Why?"

Kagome gave a bitter laugh. "My boyfriend broke up with me today. He said he been going out with some other girl for a while. He liked her better." She closed her eyes. Then, her brow furrowed. "I really don't know why I care though. I really don't like him all that much anyway. He was dull. Boring. And he was way too sweet for my liking." The corners of her mouth lifted in a small smile.

"I think the only reason I'm mad is cause he lied. I hate it when people lie. I lie sometimes, though, but I hate it." She stayed silent after that. Inuyasha reached down and started stroking her hair gently, still watching the stars.

Soon, though he could hear her soft snores. He put the chain in his pocket and lifted her up. Inuyasha carried her to her room and laid her in bed. He brushed some stray locks of hair from her face and kissed her forehead softly. "Sweet dreams, Kagome," he murmured, quietly shutting the door behind him.
