Sadly, I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters used in this fic (I wish I could though) T^T

AAH I have risen from the dead, again I am sorry I have been away this past couple of weeks :( school is really kicking my butt… I will try to work harder for you readers though. This chapter is a little short but it's all I can manage at the moment.

Recap: During the short ride to the local deli, the girls indulged in comfortable banter about the whole situation they had just been through.

Both thinking that they will never see the silver haired hanyou again.

Little did they know, that this was only the beginning of the chaos that was to come…..

Chapter 2: Fateful encounters

The girls had gotten back to their dorm with their delicious deli sandwiches, the mouth-watering aroma filling what was supposed to be a living room. They definitely needed to go furniture shopping when they had the time. Kagome had started to rustle through the brown paper bag that held their precious cargo when an incredibly large bang came from the apartment across from them.

"What the heck was that?" A sharp whisper escaped Sango's mouth, full of mushed up sandwich.

"I have no idea... But I'm gonna find out." The younger of the two had seemingly decided to herself.

Kagome ever so silently made her way to her shared front door, slipping on her black mary janes. With a quick inhale, taking in the smell of her abandoned sandwich, she flung the door open and marched across the hall. Knocking rather loudly for someone with very little muscle mass.

"One minute!" A very familiar voice called out.

Within a minute Kagome heard someone stomp over to the door and yank it open. To be completely honest she was expecting one of those perverted gamer-type men to come to the door, considering that the co-ed dorms usually harboured those types; however, the person who came to the door had been the same man she and Sango ran into earlier. Obviously, nothing changed about him but now he had adorned only a pair of red boxers, the rest of him left uncovered.

Upon opening the door, Inuyasha had immediately identified the knocker as the intoxicating girl from earlier. His mind immediately began to react to her sudden appearance, flashes of very dirty scenes played out in his head and he felt a heat start to grow in his boxers. Trying to keep calm while also silently thanking the kami that his scantily worn garment was baggy.

"Umm hello?" the small woman questioned, growing uncomfortable under his lustful gaze.

"Hey, what's up?" he retorted suspiciously calm for someone in his position.

"I- I um… I heard a loud noise and I came to see if everything was ok over here…" Kagome mumbled, fidgeting with her hands.

"Oh! That was just my roommate, he gets a little annoying at times so I have to knock him down a few pegs..."

The handsome man stepped aside so Kagome could peer through the entryway. Looking inside she could make out what looked like a body laying on the ground, unmoving. The person in question was also handsome but wasn't Kagome's type; He had medium length black hair that was slicked back into a little rat tail at the nape of his neck and prayer beads wrapped around his right hand. Fearing for his wellbeing, Kagome pushed past Inuyasha and knelt beside the young man. She cautiously flipped him over and started to check his vitals, tuning out everything else until a hand started to grope her backside.

Inuyasha felt nothing but shock and anger when the strange woman who had him going haywire knelt down next to Miroku. However, the shock boiled away leaving only wrath when the black-haired man started to grope her.

'MINE' Something screamed out in his head.

He practically flew to her rescue, wrapping a protective arm around her shoulders and gave his dimwit roommate a good hit on the head. That was when he decided to look down at the beautiful girl who just ho happened to be tangled in his arms, her face was prettily painted with a furious blush and her heart was beating a million miles a minute. She was so soft and warm, she smelled so good too. 'Gods I never want to let her go'

"I am so sorry about him! He can be such a perv sometimes." Inuyasha cast a sideways glance at his now unconscious best friend, why was he friends with that guy again?

"Are you ok?" Inuyasha's voice sounded hoarse yet comforting.

"Y-yeah I'm ok..." Kagome shyly stared at the tile flooring, still looking like a tomato. She started to inch away from Miroku only to realize that Inuyasha had managed to wrap her in a possessive hug, sinking into his embrace a little more than you should with strangers. Deciding that she had enjoyed his warmth a little too much, Kagome had politely told him that her roommate was waiting for her and that she should get going.

Shutting the door and leaning against it, Kagome had successfully made it across the hall without collapsing due to her jello legs. She was still blushing furiously but decided that her sandwich was more important than some silly hug. Slowly rising from her sitting position, Kagome kicked off her shoes and made her way to the kitchen where her beloved food lay. However, when she made it to the island, she noticed that her sandwich was gone… maybe it was in the fridge; but it wasn't. As it turns out, Sango had deemed her precious food up for grabs since she had gone to investigate.

~time skip~

Kagome was seething. From where she sat in her new room, all she could see was her haphazardly hung Mother Mother poster and the day's clothes sprawled across the floor. All she could think about was that damned beautiful stranger and his frustratingly good hugs! She needed to get some sleep but he was making it impossible to, not to mention she was starving because Sango had devoured her beautifully crafted sandwich.

Over the course of Kagome's thought train, she had failed to realize that she was falling asleep. Soon enough she Kagome was on her way to dream land, still thinking of that damned beautiful stranger, she had yet to get his name but that was something for a later date. Little did she know, there was a particularly handsome hanyou thinking the same thing about her just across the hall.

~LA FIN~
