Don't kill me! I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long but I got distracted with some other fanfiction stories I started writing and my own original stories. And everybody thank gothicpunk101. Her review kicked my ass back into gear with this story. So this chapter is dedicated to them.
This story is edited by Sakura-Maylo-G with the exception of these last two chapters. I really have to e-mail her to see if she still wants to beta this...
"You have?" Kaede turned and raised an eyebrow at Sango.
Sango waved her hands in front of herself. "It wasn't me! It was Inuyasha." Kaede paused.
"How is Inuyasha doing any way?" the old woman asked.
Sango snorted. "Grumpy, as usual." Then she snapped her fingers and turned to Kaede. "I'm sorry, Kaede, but we have to go." She smiled. Kaede smiled gently back.
"Go. Tell Inuyasha I say hello." With one last smile, Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her out of there and into the hallway. Then, Sango still holding onto her arm, Kagome was pulled up the stairs onto the last floor (the apartment building was only four floors tall).
Sango finally let go of Kagome and looked at both doors before deciding to go to the one on the left (apartment H8). She smiled reassuringly at Kagome and then knocked on the door. The door opened and in the door way stood a young man. He had long black hair that was pulled into a braid, ruby colored eyes, and three diamonds set on the tan skin of his forehead
He leaned against the door frame and smirked. "Did you want something, Sango?"
Sango pulled Kagome closer to them and said, "Hiten, I want you to meet Kagome."
He raised a dark eyebrow and stuck out a hand. Kagome shook it as he said, "Nice to meet you, Kagome. I'm Hiten." Sango rocked on her heels, grinning.
Then she said, "Kagome would like to know if you would like to go on a date this Saturday."
Kagome turned to Sango, fury radiating off of her. "I did not!"
Hiten grinned. "Sorry. I have a girlfriend." He gestured behind him, where a woman with dark hair and darker eyes stood. A snake was coiled around her neck.
Kagome sighed and said, "Nice to meet you, Hiten. Goodbye." He shook his head and shut the door.
Sango looked up to the ceiling and muttered, "I didn't know he had a girlfriend…"
Kagome was ready to yell at Sango for doing that when Sango walked to the other door and knocked on it. Kagome paled and stalked over to her friend.
But it was too late. A man opened the door and squealed. His black hair was pulled up and there were two violet streaks on his face, one under each eye. Then he jumped on Sango and wrapped his arms around her. Kagome just gawked.
"Sango, darling!" he yelled.
Sango laughed. "Hey, Jakotsu. I'd like you to meet Inuyasha's new roommate, Kagome."
Jakotsu- for that was what the man's name was, Kagome assumed- looked at her with a wary eye, before nodding to himself. "She's good enough for my honey."
"Honey?" Kagome questioned blankly.
Sango gave another laugh. "Inuyasha is Jakotsu's honey."
Kagome turned to Sango with a 'do-I-want-to-know?' look on her face. Sango just smiled and then glanced back at Jakotsu. "Is your brother here?"
He nodded and then yelled "Bankotsu!" into the apartment. He bounded away as another man entered the doorway. And, Kagome decided, he looked good. Very good. He skin was a dark tan color, his eyes the darkest indigo Kagome had ever seen, a strange purple star on his forehead, and his long black hair in a braid that reached his waist. Add a shirt that showed off his muscular chest and biceps and jeans that outlined the muscles in his thighs and what you get is a very very hot man.
"Bankotsu, meet Kagome," Sango said.
Bankotsu grinned and said in a smooth voice, "Nice to meet you."
Kagome smiled back. "Nice to meet you, too."
Kagome should have known what Sango was going to do. Should have being the key words there. But Sango went ahead and said, "Kagome wants to know if you want to go on a date this Saturday."
Kagome turned to Sango, mortified, flushed, and opened her mouth to yell, when Bankotsu said, "Sure." Kagome stopped her movements and Sango grinned like a madman.
"W-what?" Kagome stuttered out.
Bankotsu smirked. "A date. Saturday. Noon good for you?"
"Um…sure…" Bankotsu's smirk changed into a smile and he grabbed her hand.
"Good." He brushed his lips over her hand and his eyes, sparkling merrily, connected with hers. She flushed. It was…romantic that he did that, but it felt…wrong. Unbidden, an image of Inuyasha came to mind. His lips were curled up in a roguish grin against the back of her hand. Kagome immediately shook her head, dispelling the image.
Bankotsu pulled back and said, "See you Saturday." He shut the door and Kagome turned to Sango.
"Why did you do that?"
"Because. We agreed on it, remember?" Sango stuck her tongue out at Kagome. Kagome rolled her eyes and walked down the stairs, back to the apartment.
