A/N:

HELLO! I'm graduating next week so, as you would presume, I'm going to have a lot more time to write in between my big move across Canada! *Distant cheers*

This is an exciting time for me and all of you who are riding along on my disaster train of a fanfiction because…. OBVIOUSLY, THIS MEANS MORE UPDATES FOR Y'ALL! Anyways, enough of my drama, let's continue with the story.

As always, none of these characters belong to me…. Except for the barista in the café, that one is mine. :3

Chapter 6: Many Big Surprises

Nothing could be heard in Inuyasha's room except for the soft breathing that comes with deep, restful slumber and the crisp noise of sheets rubbing together under the movement of the two human- no… the human and a half shifting slightly in an attempt to find a more favourable sleeping position. The two beings wouldn't have awoken until some time later if it had not been for the loudest roommate ever barging through the door; Face full of anger and exasperation.

"INUYASHA TASHIO-TAKAHASHI! HOW DARE YOU HANG UP ON YOUR BEST FRIEND WHO WAS IN DIRE NEED OF HELP JUST SO YOU COULD SLEEP IN! YOU LITTLE MONGREL I SHOULD JUST PURIFY YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!" Miroku continued on his little (BIG) tangent until he realized that he had more than just an audience of one tired hanyou, he in fact had an audience of two, consisting of the lovely girl he had groped not even a day before, groggy and confused; But something surprised him even more, the fact that this beautiful, confused lady was wrapped tightly in the arms of a now Seething and very-close-to-demonic-transformation Inuyasha who was now growling like a feral dog that just had it's food stolen by another mutt.

"Oh shit." Was all Miroku could get out of his big, fat mouth before he took off sprinting, a near fully demonic Inuyasha trailing behind him, leaving one incredibly dazed and confused Kagome in their wake. A few minutes passed before Kagome regained her bearings, finally realizing that:

She was in Inuyasha's room.

She'd been legitimately spooning with Inuyasha in her sleep.

SHE'D BEEN SPOONING WITH INUYASHA (and someone saw)

Ever so quietly, Kagome rose from her place on Inuyasha's bed, threw on her fuzzy bear slippers, and exited the apartment with nobody noticing (mostly because Inuyasha was busy trying to waterboard Miroku in the bathroom) ((mostly meaning totally because of the fact)). Anyways, back to Kagome; She'd finally made it across the hallway and into her apartment, face red with embarrassment and totally ready to just prepare for her second day in college. However, Kagome had only made it three steps into her own apartment before Sango magically appeared before her.

"And where were you this fine morning hmm?" Sango smirked when she received her answer from an incredibly checked out Kagome. "Across the hall…" She sounded like she was going to faint. Appeased for now, Sango let Kagome off the hook and resumed making her breakfast smoothie while the younger girl drifted off towards the bathroom to brush her teeth and hair.

Today Kagome decided to throw on one of her most favourite comfy outfits: A sage green, sleeveless, turtleneck crop top, paired with her favourite baggy khakis, a grey zip up sweater, and her black doc martins. Pulling her hair into a low messy bun, Kagome lifted her heavy backpack from the safety of her bedroom floor and threw it on before walking out of the door, ready for a new day. Though Kagome's brain preferred to just forget about this whole morning and move on with her life like anybody normal would do, she just couldn't stop thinking about the previous events of her life; Okay, sure, it was awfully embarrassing to have Inuyasha's roommate come crashing through the door and into an extremely private situation but gosh, did it feel good to wake up wrapped in a strong, yet soft hold, Inuyasha's unique smell enveloping her very being. Kagome's heart swore that if she could ever have the option, all she would ever see, smell, and hear would be Inuyasha for the rest of her life.

Of course, as one Kagome tends to do while lost in thought, she bumped right into someone 'I need to stop doing this, my butt is starting to hurt from all the impact with the ground!'.

"Hey! Are you alright?!" a rough voice called from above Kagome's current sitting position, but it wasn't a voice gravelly enough to be Inuyasha. Somehow the thought of not bumping into the same handsome hanyou every day made Kagome's stomach turn a little. Finally deciding to look up, Kagome took in the sight of a man, just a little shorter than Inuyasha; His long, black hair was pulled back into a messy high ponytail that reached down to the strange man's waist. A worn, brown leather jacket layered on top of his thin white t-shirt, accompanied by a pair of black denim jeans and black AF1s.

"I-I'm quite alright, thank you… OH! Are you alright?" Kagome had gotten up and dusted off her khakis before looking at the stranger's face. "I was the last man standing, wasn't I?" Brown eyes met cerulean in a shocking encounter. "Ah, excuse my rudeness, my name is Kouga. May I have the pleasure of receiving your name in return… beautiful stranger?" Kagome had started to take a deep breath in order to relay her assigned name but before she could even get a single peep out, she heard a booming, yet familiar voice bellow out from behind her, "No the fuck you may certainly NOT, Kouga.".

By the time Inuyasha was done torturing the sins out of his dumbass roommate, he'd realized that if he didn't hurry to classes, he would, in fact, be quite late. So, Inuyasha did as any person would do and threw on some grey sweats, a tank top that was half red, half black, and some adidas shoes; Tying his hair up in a messy bun before snatching his backpack off the metal hooks he'd installed a day previous and marching right out of the door. Of course, Inuyasha didn't notice some of his textbooks were missing until he was already halfway across campus, but by that point, he noticed two very familiar scents.

Inuyasha looked in the direction of said scents (that he absolutely did not like mingling together) to find a blood boiling scene unfolding before his very eyes; Kagome, HIS precious, kind, intelligent, beautiful, wonderous, Kagome, being approached by none other than KOUGA. See, Kouga had always been Inuyasha's arch nemesis, from the very moment he'd completely ruined Inuyasha's volcano science project in grade three, Inuyasha had hated his guts; Kouga had stolen everything and everyone Inuyasha had managed to have for as long as he could remember, any girlfriends, friends, awards, you name it, Kouga stole it right from under Inuyasha's nose. Now, Inuyasha will be damned if anyone even tried to steal Kagome from him, she felt like a piece of his soul already and they hadn't even started the courting process yet.

White doggy ears perked up at Kouga's request for Kagome's name and he quickly realized that she was going to give it to him! All control over his wrath snapped, "No the fuck you may certainly NOT, Kouga." He sharply replied before Kagome could hand over her beautiful name to such a monster as Kouga. Inuyasha quickly paced over to where the two were standing, wrapping a possessive arm around Kagome's waist, draping his body around hers, and sending a poisonous glare in Kouga's direction for good measure. "Kouga, She's MINE. M. I. N. E.", some of Inuyasha's demonic side started to bubble to the surface.

"Oh really?" Kouga started to inspect his claws, picking out any dirt he found. "I don't see or smell a mark on her, Inuyasha." Kouga spoke Inuyasha's name with such malice, it made Kagome feel sickened. Why would anyone show any kind of outward dislike towards Inuyasha? He was a bright-eyed, spontaneous, knowledgeable, person; Sure, he did have some unresolved anger issues but that's something that can be fixed with some time and a little bit of love (and therapy). 'Mark? What are they talking about? I'm way too tired for this and Inuyasha's arms feel so right wrapped around me, do you think they'd notice if I dozed off right now….? Maybe, but I really didn't sleep all too well last night and their shouting is kind of like white noise….'

"KOUGA, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS YOU ARE SUCH A LIA- "Inuyasha and Kouga's incessant bickering came to an abrupt halt when Inuyasha felt Kagome sag against him, followed by the lightest of snores he'd ever heard from a human. 'Is- Is she sleeping? Are you fucking with me? How could Kagome fall asleep now of all times?! Kouga and I are yelling up a storm loud enough for some humans to plug their ears and she's SLEEPING? What an interesting girl.' "pffft" Inuyasha started to shake with barely contained laughter, confusing Kouga to no end as he leaned down to lift Kagome's legs off the ground to hold her in a proper bridal-carry. 'Silly bitch' He smiled down at her sleeping form as she tried to snuggle herself farther into the warmth of Inuyasha's firm hold.

With Kouga ultimately forgotten, Inuyasha started into the direction of his and Kagome's classes, deciding to wake her when he got them to their first class together.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0

"Mmh" Kagome whined at that damned poking on her nose, why won't it go away? 'five more minutes' Her thoughts got cut off by an all too familiar voice whispering in her ear, " Kagomeee…."

A few moments passed before it spoke again, "Kagome, wake up you need to go to class!" this time, Kagome stirred, sitting up and opening her eyes. Only then did she realize that she'd fallen asleep in Inuyasha's big warm arms and blushed viciously.

She turned her head in the direction of his voice, "I- I'm so sorry!" Kagome clasped a hand around her mouth and lowered her head in embarrassment, she'd fallen asleep in the arms of her incredibly handsome neighbour for the second time whilst he fought with what she could only assume was his childhood enemy! "Don't be, you look pretty cute when you sleep anyways." Was Inuyasha's incredibly creepy, yet charming response came flooding into Kagome's ears.

As much of an incredible bonding moment this was between them, Kagome and Inuyasha were quickly reminded that they were in a public space AND had classes to attend then the campus bell rang, signaling the start of morning classes. "Oh shit, we gotta go!" Inuyasha blurted before Kagome hurriedly shifted off of his lap and onto her own feet as Inuyasha stood.

"See you later?" Kagome called out to him after they both started moving for their designated buildings,

Inuyasha turned on his heel, jogging backwards, "Yeah!"

"See you later!".
