She opened the door and greeted all of the men with a small smile. "Yeah?"

Inuyasha was the first to speak. "Hey, we don't wanna intrude but we were about to go downstairs and grab a bite to eat. You wanna come with?"

Kagome leaned back on her right leg and placed her palm on her cheek. "Um. No, it's fine. Kouga is going to bring me something." Her voice was low and raspy. An immediate red flag for the keen eyes staring down at her.

Miroku and Naraku looked at each other and shrugged. They were leaned up against the wall outside of the door.

"Well that's fine. Enjoy your night ." Miroku said pushing his hands into his pockets. He didn't give the situation much thought and turned to leave. Naraku followed him.

"We'll be outside Inuyasha." Naraku said.

Waving them off, he turned his attention back to Kagome. "So Kagome. I wanted to ask you something." He folded his arms and cropped his body against her door frame.

She fiddled with her fingers, doing everything in her power to keep from looking him in the eyes. Inuyasha on the other hands couldn't keep his eyes off of her but not for the reasons she would assume.

"I know it's none of my business but how long have you and Kouga been dating?"

"Wait" She finally looked up "He didn't tell you?"

Her eyes squinted in confusion as he shook he shook his head. She sighed. "Well it's been about I guess three years now? Yeah, three years."

"Wow. It's been a while it seems."

"Yeah."

"Well here," he reached into his pocket, and grabbed a piece of folded paper. He extended his arm towards her. "take it."

She grabbed the piece of paper from him. "What is this?"

"My number." He said cocking a sharp smile.

"You carry around pieces of paper with your number on it?" She asked wrinkling her nose. And twisting her lips.

"It's called being prepared Kagome. Can't waste time writing a number when the next booty call is waiting for me to answer." He flipped his loose strands of hair back.

"We get it. You're sexually active. You don't have to put on a show for me." She said throwing the paper onto the bed behind her. She turned her back on him to grab her phone off of her nightstand. Meanwhile, Inuyasha was caught up in his own thoughts.

'Hmph. She could have at least played along.' He thought to himself. Watching her turn around, his eyes did some soul searching. Kagome's wide hips couldn't be shielded by her thick, long, black sweatpants. To Inuyasha, she had to be at least a size 12. Not that he was complaining considering the variety of girls he had dated in his lifetime. Scrolling up a bit, his eyes landed on her hair. Her hair color was an off blackish color, and slightly wavy. It was messy, but long and glistening.

'Well she could have been laying down in bed perhaps, but it ain't a bad look on her.'

She slid her feet under the bed, and pulled out a pair of black flats. She put her phone in her pocket while sliding her feet into her shoes. She looked at Inuyasha. "I'm ready."

He wasn't expecting that. "Huh?" He said dumbfounded, eyebrows curved upwards.

"I thought you said you were gonna wait here to eat with Kouga?"

She chuckled. "Well, I was but who knows what time he will get back. Besides, he has my number. Whenever he is ready, he can give me a call. It's not like we are going far, are we?" She looked up at him with her lips pursed up and her hands clasped behind her back.

Inuyasha had to gather himself for a moment. He scratched behind his right ear, and moved his eyes elsewhere afraid that she might have seen him checking her out. "Yeah. We are only going across the street somewhere."

"Good. Let's go." Kagome grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room with her.

All thoughts of Kouga had come and gone in her mind. She had been so worried about him a few minutes ago but after seeing the news faces of her roommates, she couldn't let Kouga take this experience from her. He had his one year of fun in college and she wanted to at least accomplish the same.

'He was so buddy buddy with them up until I walked in the room anyway. He is probably just being possessive again.'

Inuyasha led Kagome downstairs and outside where Miroku and Naraku were waiting. The two were so focused on the conversation they were having that they didn't noticed Inuyasha and Kagome walking up behind them.

"Alright. Y'all ready?" Inuyasha asked them, feeling inside of his jean pockets to double check for his wallet.

"Yeah, le-Woah. . You're here? I thought you were going to wait for Kouga."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah I was but I decided to just come down here and chill for a bit you know? I've been upstairs all day. I think I" she put her hand over her chest "deserve some air."

Naraku scrunched his lips up at her. "Ok girl. Whatever you say. Just don't expect us to walk you back if you change your mind again when we are already there."

"Shut the hell up." Inuyasha said, slapping him lightly on the shoulder. "I would gladly walk her back if need be."

"Because you're a pussy sucker and you clearly want someone's leftover vagina."

"Naraku chill. That's not cool." Miroku said putting his hand over Naraku's shoulder but Naraku shrugged his hand off.

Little did he know, Kagome was having none of that. She folder her arms over her short-sleeved varsity t-shirt, and scrunched her lips back at him. "Well it's none of your business what me and my man do in our bed thank you very much."

He looked her up and down. "Girl, don't be mad at me that he runs through every girl in school before he rams it into you."

"Naraku stop!" Inuyasha raised his voice a bit. He had a bad feeling in his stomach about what Kagome did or didn't know.

'Still, it's none of our business.' He thought to himself.

"Ok. Whatever. Y'all are annoying." He said walking off into the street with Miroku behind him.

Inuyasha bent over next to Kagome's ear. "Don't mind him okay? He's like this with everyone."

Kagome let her stiff shoulders drop. "Yeah yeah. It's whatever. Doesn't bother me."

'Sweetheart, you're clearly bothered but ok.' He thought, inwardly rolling his eyes.

"Well, come on. We're going to our regular spot. I'm sure you'll love it."

In front of their dorm building, past the parking lot, was a row of convenience stores. There was a laundry mat, a few food places, a clothing shop, nail and salon spa, and a regular corner store. The "regular spot" that Inuyasha had been referring to was a Chinese fast food restaurant. The reason it was a regular spot was because it offered eat-in, carryout, and delivery. Plus the food was decent.

Inside of the restaurant, Kagome took in the normal wooden walls, along with a few black wooden tables and chairs. It was nothing special but definitely cozy enough to hang out with friends. The smell of fried rice emitted through the air and invaded Kagome's nostrils. She took a deep breath in letting the scent hit the back of her sinuses.

'Oh, I love fried rice.'

Inuyasha, Miroku, and Naraku had walked up to the counter. They were each greeted with high fives from the man behind the register.

"We are just sticking with the usual today dude." Miroku said pulling his wallet out. The other two did the same.

As Inuyasha reached for his wallet, he saw Kagome pacing around behind them. "Hey Kagome, aren't you gonna get something to eat?"

She tilted her head back towards him. "Oh, no thanks. I didn't bring my wallet with me."

He flicked his hand at her. "It's fine. I'll pay for you. Get anything."

She quickly turned on her heel and shook her head. "No thanks. Really, I'm fine."

"So? Just get something for later then." He continued to pressure her.

"No Inuyasha."

"Please?" He said pouting his lips out and whimpering.

She pouted her lips back. "No Inuyasha. You're hoe tricks won't work on me."

"Woman, if I wanted to get in your pants, I wouldn't bother buying you something to eat. I don't believe in wasting money on women I don't want."

Her mouth curved sharply. "Oh, so you want me?"

"Huh-what? I never said that!"

"But you're trying to spend money on me."

He stomped his foot on the wooden floor. "Woman, just get something dammit so we can go."

Kagome gave in to his wishes and decided to get an order of fried rice with a pineapple soda. While waiting for their food, the group of four took a seat at one of the old wooden tables. Miroku was the first to start up conversation but not too soon after, Naraku took ahold of the topic. This time, he wasn't as hostile.

"You seem like a good girl Kagome. Why're you with Kouga?" He asked flipping his hair around his back.

She shifted in her chair to cross her legs. "Um, well he is a good guy underneath all of that hardness he has going on. He protected me a lot in high school and probably was the only person there that didn't talk shit about me at one point. He is sweet when he wants to be, and he always looks out for me no matter what."

"Hmm. Interesting." Naraku seemed bored with Kagome's response but she didn't let it get to her too much.

About twenty minutes later, their food was ready. They decided to eat inside since the weather was nice out. Kagome hadn't eaten anything throughout the day so she chomped down the pint of rice almost instantaneously. Right when she had gotten to the bottom of her box, her phone began vibrating. She pulled it out of her pocket and too her surprise, it was her boyfriend.

Kouga's contact name and a picture of him hugging Kagome flashed on the screen. She swiped the green button over and held the device up to her ear.

"Hey love."

"I don't wanna hear it. Where the fuck are you?!"

Inuyasha stopped eating and looked up at Kagome. Her face was blank.

"Kouga, calm down." She said not wanting to make a scene in front of the guys unbeknownst to her, Inuyasha could hear everything.

"I'm across the street with Inuyasha, Miroku, and Naraku. We just went to grab something quick to eat so we should be back in a little bi-"

"What the fuck did I say? Didn't I tell you not to leave the room?!"

"Kouga, I was just hungry. That's it." Her voice shook a little and Inuyasha couldn't tell whether or not she was scared or angry but either way, it was starting to piss him off. He had to sit his utensils down and cover his mouth to avoid interrupting their phone conversation. Meanwhile, Miroku and Naraku ate and chatted away completely oblivious to the situation.

"I told you to stay away from them! And the minute I leave, what did you do? Ran right into their arms!"

"No, I-"

"You what Kagome? You ignored me? Yeah I know but if I did that to you, this would have been a real problem had it been me ignoring you!"

"Bye Kouga."

"Kagome, I swear if you hang up, I'm going to make you regret it." He said, voice seething with rage.

She tapped the end call button and put the phone back into her pocket. She had been looking down at the table the whole time that she was on the phone so looking up, it was a little surprising to see a pair of golden eyes darting you down.

"Everything okay?" She asked trying to avert attention away from her nasty phone call.

He shook his head and Kagome then wondered why he'd been staring at her like that. Was Kouga so loud that he'd heard every word?

'No, that can't be it. Miroku and Naraku are still talking.'

"Don't worry about. I'll be fine." He said, picking back at his food. His tone had dropped dramatically. The entire time, he was upbeat and now happy vibe from him was gone.

Pulling out her phone again, she used her other hand to pull out the piece of paper she had gotten from Inuyasha earlier.

'It's a good thing I grabbed this before I left.'

She put in the digits in order and started the text.

Kagome: Hey, it's Kagome. You look like you heard something weird.

Send.

She didn't look back up when Inuyasha's phone vibrated to avoid looking suspicious. A minute after his phone went off, Kagome's did the same.

Inuyasha: Maybe. These demon ears of mine are really sensitive ya know.

'Shit! Ok, don't panic, don't panic.'

Inuyasha: I won't tell them and you don't have to tell me what's going on but if you're scared, let me know. I won't let him hurt you.

That cued a sigh of relief out of her mouth.

Kagome: Thank you. But I'm not scared. He has never hit me, never will. Nor would I let him. It's just I don't like when he gets this angry because he gets really reckless

Inuyasha: How reckless

Kagome: He says really mean things to me and sometimes, I just don't wanna deal with it to be honest.

Inuyasha: Well if he gets out of line, I have no problem talking to him

Kagome: No, no thanks. I got it under control but can we keep this a secret please

Inuyasha: Not a problem.

Inuyasha and Kagome stopped texting after that. Kagome pushed everything to the back of her thought meanwhile Inuyasha couldn't get what was happening off of his mind. He had known Kouga for only a year, Kagome had him feeling like he didn't know the guy at all.

'How in the hell do you have a girlfriend of three years and not once did we ever hear a word about her?'

Inuyasha had seen Kouga do some things that most faithful men would probably cringe at the thought of. There was never any hesitation in his eyes yet here in front of him was the most loyal girl he had met in all his years of being at college. It was the boys like Kouga that turned innocent freshman girls into the most sexually active prey.

'Kouga, you got this girl in deep…Too deep. Does she even know?'

An hour had gone by, everyone's stomachs were content, and Naraku was ready to get ready to party. He opened the door, and held it for Inuyasha who was behind him.

"When are they gonna turn on the security doors for this place anyways?" Naraku asked, walking to the elevator. Being the first there, he had the honor to press the button.

"Some of the freshman didn't receive their keycards in time, so for the first week, certain buildings are all accessible." Kagome said. She had been one of the unfortunate students to not receive her card in a timely manner. All students had till the end of the week to go see their advisors about it.

'Yeah, I will probably get that done tomorrow.' She thought to herself.

Everyone entered the elevator and one by one, the elevator dinged past each floor till it had reached floor 19. Once they had arrived, the floor had become a little more populated with people who had just moved in. To Naraku's dismay, there had been a group of groupies to Kohaku conjugating outside of the elevator.

Naraku shoved past them, and his friends followed through just the same. Kagome watched as they had made their way past the group who were unhappy about all of the shoulder bumping.

"Excuse me." She said trying to get past but no one would move.

"Excuse me.." She tried a second time, leaning on her hip.

After realizing none of the girls would listen, she gave in to the rude behavior and shoved past the girls as well, quickly catching up with the guys who were putting the key into the door.

'Well, I guess they are used to the same type of people here every year.'

Naraku opened the door, and rushed in to get to his room. He had been invited not too long ago to an open house party that was a house party. Miroku decided to join him, so he retreated to the bathroom to take a shower. This left Kagome and Inuyasha alone in the kitchen.

Kagome held her hand over her mouth as a yawn slipped out. "Woo, am I sleepy."

"You and me both. I have so much shit to do tomorrow." He said, pouring himself a glass of white grape juice.

"Really? Like what?"

"Just class stuff. Since it's my junior year, I have more classes towards my major so that means more projects and more projects means more wasted time and energy. Plus, I packed light this year because I wanted to go shopping and just have new stuff. "

"Oh, so you're a rich kid."

He almost spit his juice out at that comment. He raised an eyebrow at her. "No Kagome, I'm just a middle-class Asian-American with poor spending habits is all. I have expensive taste although I'm the boy with two regular working class parents who gave me a roof over my head as a Christmas present every year."

She gave him a lighthearted smile. "Well, I'm the regular normal girl who grew up in a single parent household that had a tree filled with gifts every year from a hard working nurse who did overtime to make sure I had stuff to show off when I came back from Christmas break."

"So you're spoiled?"

"Half an half. I'm spoiled but humble so watch that word buddy."

"It's okay" He said taking a sip of his juice "I like them spoiled."

Kagome bucked her neck backwards at his open flirt but paid them little attention. "So you like your milk like you like girls? Spoiled?"

He stuck his tongue. "No, I like my milk how I like my ex-girlfriends. Either in my mouth or in the trash."

"Oh, excuse the fuck out of me."

"You're excused sweetheart."

Kagome and Inuyasha spent the next half an hour immersed in fun-spirited banter. Once Miroku had exited the shower, Inuyasha took that as his cue to get ready for bed. It was a Monday anyway.

"Alright Kagome, I'm gonna hop in the shower and get ready for bed. I don't know if you're going to sleep but have a good night and let me know if you need anything." He said disappearing behing the dining room and into the hall.

"Alright. Thanks, goodnight." She said back.

'I should be getting ready for bed too anyway.'

She headed towards her bedroom. Opening the door, she flicked on the lights only to discover her boyfriend sitting on her bed with his legs crossed.

"Hi Kagome." Kouga said from her bed.

She wasn't too surprised to see him. It wasn't the first time he ever appeared in her room unannounced after an argument.

"Hi." She said, closing the door behind her.

She sat in the spot next to him on the bed. She wasn't all too sure of what to say, so she decided to give him a few minutes to say whatever was on his mind.

"So, why're you in here?" She asked with her head facing her lap.

He scoffed. "I'm here because I said I would bring you food."

Kagome looked over at the bag sitting on her nightstand. There were two carryout boxes, a sprite soda, and a pineapple soda. She also smelled something sweet and sugary.

"I got us some burgers and fried but the funnel cake and pineapple soda in the bag are yours. I know they're your favorite." He said, his voice slowly trailing off as the sentence ended. He couldn't' figure out where to place his eyes so he just stared at her hair.

He brought his hand to her hair and slowly ran his knuckles down the side of it, graciously letting his hand fall back down to his lap. She hadn't moved or jumped at all like he thought she would. She was in love with sweet fatty foods. Especially if that food was funnel cake.

He cleared the inside of his throat. "Kagome, I'm not mad, ok? It's just-ugh! You know how I feel about that sort of thing!" He expressed, his hands gripping themselves.

"You're so precious Kagome. That's how I know you don't mean any harm but can you please just trust me on this one?" He said, reaching over and grabbing her right hand. He kissed the top of it. "Baby, please."

She yanked her arm back, darting her eyes at him. "Kouga. I don't think you understand what it's like to be me. I'm always living in fear of what you might do to someone if I get too close to them. Then, you're always mad at me over the littlest of things. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing wrong when you're yelling at me! You just yell and yell and yell! I'm tired Kouga!" She began to scream at him, veins straining in her neck.

"Don't you think I get tired of yelling at you too?!"

"No! That's what you're always doing to me nowadays and you know what? For the first time since we've been dating, someone heard the way you were talking to me. Do you know how embarrassed I felt Kouga?! Someone knows that my own boyfriend talks to me like that!"

Kagome's heart rung a million times over, tugging at every single nerve and vein. She held her hands together over her chest trying to recollect herself in the situation but to no avail. Kouga didn't reply to that. Instead, he sat that there with his arms crossed.

"Kouga, my chest hurts so bad and you will never get it. You just won't." Her voice shook but it pressured no reaction out of Kouga. He appeared numb to the situation.

"Kagome. I can't promise you that we'll be together forever."

Her head shot up, eyes apple red, and squinting at him. "W-what?"

He took another breath and repeated his words. "I said, I can't promise that we'll be together forever. This is all proving too much that we are just two different people that want different things clearly."

She stopped breathing for a second, astonished at his revelations. She crawled towards him, leaning her hands on his lap and pushing her face towards his. Her body's reactions were skyrocketing and she was on the edge from it.

"Kouga please tell me you don't mean that. Please just tell me you're saying stuff because you're mad. Come on…say it!"

She was in his face, and tears were rolling down hers. The saltiness from the liquid already began to clog her throat and she was rapidly losing her ability to breath but she didn't back down. Kouga on the other hand just stared at her, arms still crossed. It was this that caused her to fall into his lap and sink into her emotions. She whaled out in sorrow, and banged her fists into his legs.

He let her continue on like that for a few moments before taking his phone out to check the time. It was going on ten o'clock and he had been invited to the open house party.

'I really need it to get all this shit off my mind.'

Although she was still crying, he pushed her off of his lap and stood to his feet. Drowning out her cries in the background, he stretched to the ceiling to loosen his tight joints. Without another word, he left out the door leaving Kagome to no one but herself.

For the first time in a long time, Kagome felt broken. That night she cried herself to sleep with her phone on silent.

If all goes well tonight, chapter five may go up between tomorrow or the day after. All reviews welcome :)
