Co-ed

by BabyInuyashasBabysitter

Checking off that you are completely okay with a coed assigned dorm seems so innocent until you realize you are the only girl among five boys. You think it would help after finding out your boyfriend is one of those boys...but life wouldn't be considered unfair at that point now would she? A story of love, choices, revenge, and a good-looking psychology major roommate.

19. Chapter 19

A/N: Hello everyone! BEFORE YOU READ, there will be a character named Ryura. He is an Inuyasha character that I'm sure most of us have forgotten about already. Plus do a quick google image search of him if you can because explaining him to the best of my ability will not give you the perfect image like seeing him. There is a lot of dialouge here so sorry about it. That being said, enjoy.

Also: I just celebrated my birthday September 25th, so that's why I didn't finish this up earlier this week.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to the familiar red bedding she'd fallen asleep in only yesterday. Her eyelids separated easily but trying to get the rest of her body to move had been the following issue. The quality of the mattress showed by how well it molded to her body shape but not even the softness of the bed could mask how heavy she felt. She slowly turned over onto her back to face the ceiling but even doing the simplest of motions felt like a thousands bricks were trying to hold her back. As she stared up, she then noticed the emptiness of the bed. Where Inuyasha would lay beside her is where he wasn't. Struggling, she lifted her head up, taking a quick scan of the room.

The curtains were still closed, keeping most of the sunlight where it belonged, the average sized TV on top of the stand was off, his closet door was closed, and none of the drawers to his dressers even appeared to be touched. For the most part, it appeared as if Inuyasha had just walked out of the room and left it as it was. Curiosity got the better of her as she decided then to get up. Her legs swung over the bed before she propped her torso up. Right as she stood up, her phone vibrated from the charger beside the nightstand. When she grabbed it, it then vibrated again. Stretching her free arm up, she checked her phone with the other hand. Shippo's contact was included inside the notification along with and unknown number. Upon opening the text, she realized it was Naraku.

Shippo: What happened? I'm adding Kagome to this.

Naraku: I was asleep and he came home like a few hours later. He was drunk as hell but he wasn't high for once. He started screaming or whatever and Miroku went out to check on him, and that's when he punched Miroku

Shippo: what! Did Miroku do anything back?

Naraku: He pushed Kouga off of him, trying to tell Kouga to chill because he was drunk. Miroku and I are so different. Friend or not, if you drunk, and you hit me, I'm beating your ass period. We can hug it out in the morning after you're sober.

Shippo: Who are you telling...I can't believe that he really hit Miroku...

Naraku: Me either. I don't know what's wrong with him. He has some serious issues.

Shippo: Kagome told me he wasn't like this before he came here so clearly something had to happen while he was here for a year to make him just go down a downward spiral.

Naraku: Well I don't care. I'm pretty sure I've had it worse than him and I came out just fine.

Shippo: Naraku you got issues too.

Naraku: No I don't. People just got issues with me. That's none of my business.

Kagome: Good Morning to the two of you. Kouga hit Miroku?

Kagome read up to the current text before jumping in. While she waited for them to get back to her, her phone buzzed at the alert from another text message. The text came down with Sango's name in it.

Sango: Hey girl, going out for breakfast this morning. You wanna come with?

Without thinking too much into it, Kagome responded.

Kagome: yeah. Sure. Where at?

Sango texted her the address. Kagome then checked how far away it was and to her luck, the place was only five minutes away by walking. She put the phone down to go look for Inuyasha from there. Once she exited the room, she peeped quickly inside of her room and the bathroom only to find both of the rooms empty. After a few more steps, she had found him in the living room with a bunch of open text books on the coffee table and his laptop in his lap as he was sprawled out on the couch. He was so engrossed to the screen, that he didn't even pay attention to her walking into the room. His ears did twitch a little at the sound of her footsteps though.

Without a word, she lightly walked behind the couch and caressed her hands downwards on his bare exposed collar bone till her arms fully embraced him and her head was beside his. She placed a sweet kiss on his face, warranting a smile from him but only for a second as his fingers were still focusing on typing away at the keyboard.

"Good morning." She sung to him.

"Good morning love...How'd you sleep?" He asked.

She nuzzled her face into his neck, giving him light kisses up and down. "Mmm. A little heavy but okay. I don't even remember going to sleep honestly."

"Heh, yeah. Once I put you in the tub, it was game over for you. Your foot feel okay?"

Kagome glanced down to a see a bandage around her foot. "Oh, he left a mark? I honestly don't even feel it. Thank you for wrapping it up though."

He turned and gave her a quick unexpected kiss on the lips before zooming back into his work. "No problem but you might feel it later. I took a look at it. It's not that deep but his teeth did tear some flesh."

"I'll be okay. I'm about to go out to get something to eat with Sango. You wanna come with?" She asked with a tone of perkiness, trying to her best to sound extra nice as possible in hopes that he would come.

He shook his head. "Nah, I have a lot of catching up to do. I have some papers to finish and some other homework I'm sure I just don't know about yet. Plus you know I don't like Sango so-"

"I know, I know. A girl can dream, can't she. Finish your homework. I'll just bring you something back." She said, unwrapping herself from around him.

"Now Kagome, you know you're enough for me."

She was walking away when she turned back to him. "What are you talking about Inuyasha?" His words brought her back to their heated argument inside of the back of the car when she had broke down. She wasn't sure if he was referring to that moment or not.

His fingers paused, his plump lips curved upwards into a devilish smirk, and he looked up at with half lidded eyes with his head lazily cocked to the side. "Come here and sit on my face and I'll show you what I want for breakfast then."

His sexual comments were becoming so consistent, that she hardly found herself shocked whenever he said something audibly pleasing but this time around was different considering their conversation in the car. His words sent chills through her body for multiple reasons. One was his husky morning voice was a turn or and the second coming from the general shock of him saying something she wasn't expecting.

She ran her hands through her hair harshly closing her eyes and opening them. "No way Inuyasha. I have somewhere to be soon. I have no time to entertain you right now." With that being said, she turned to go back into the room, not paying attention to Inuyasha removing his laptop from his lap.

'Hm...she seems to have mistaken my command for a suggestion. Guess I should...fix that really quick.' Inuyasha thought to himself, getting up from his spot on the couch, slowly following behind Kagome.

About half an hour had gone by before Kagome's phone sounded off throughout Inuyasha's bedroom. A few buzzes went by before Kagome snatched her phone off of the nightstand.

"H-hello?" She answered the phone, stuttering to get her words out.

"Hey, where are you? I thought you'd said you were only five minutes away from the place?" Sango asked from the other end of the phone. Kagome could hear the small irritation in her voice.

She put her hand on the head board to balance herself. "Yeah, um. I'll be there in just a sec. Inuyasha is helping me uh...look for my wallet. I'm right down the street, promise."

It wasn't the best lie she could've used but it was the only one that came to head. She was surprised any thoughts came to mind at all considering what was going on down below. One minute she was pulling her hair up to get ready to get in the shower, and the next her bottom half was exposed on top of Inuyasha.

"Okay, whatever. Just hurry up." Sango hung up directly after she finished talking.

Kagome threw the phone to the side of her on the bed, busying her hands inside Inuyasha's hair. Inuyasha's lips had a little more volume to them than Kouga's did and she was feeling all the difference in mouth size as her waist shifted back and forth. Internally, she felt bad for making Sango wait but her body for whatever reason was more sensitive this time around making it harder for her to pry off the starving half demon.

As she came down all over him, her body shook from the pleasure taking over her body. Inuyasha lifted her up, and slid further up in front of her so that she could relax on his lap. She fell limp against his bare chest, poking her lips out. The sight made him chuckle lightly. He pulled her face up so that she could look at him.

"The day you let me fuck that shit out of you won't be enough to keep me from wanting to put my face down there." Due to Kagome still being a virgin, his dick had to go unsatisfied which made it hard for him not to talk to her like he was ready to plow her into next week.

"Inuyasha...I don't know if I can keep up with you...I never fucked around with Kouga this much." She managed to pant out, still trying to catch her breath.

Another laugh escaped his lips. "Ah well, I'm sorry love but like I told you, fucking around with me is probably the most riskiest things anyone can get into because I don't care where we are, if I want it, I'm gonna take it. Is that still okay with you?" He asked her in a cooing voice.

Just like any other time, she couldn't tell him no. She nodded her head with the utmost obedience just like Inuyasha wanted and she was rewarded with him sucking on her bottom lip till he could get his tongue inside seducing hers. He wanted her to taste the heaven that he was blessed to go inside of. He might not have had himself beat off but his mouth was screaming for joy and he decided that it would do for now. He tapped her butt a few times to get her to pull back.

"Mmm. I'd love to get to know your body some more but you have somewhere to be and I have homework to finish so, we have to stop this here."

She groaned in discontent as she removed herself from his lap. "Fine. You're lucky I have to wash my hair anyway. It still smells like whatever Kikyo threw on me."

---

Sango's arms were folded as her foot tapped impatiently against the wooden floor. Her and a male friend she brought with her had been waiting for almost an hour for Kagome to show up and breakfast hours were almost up. Sango's nostrils flared up as she started inhaling and exhaling heavily.

"I swear if she isn't here in the next five minutes, we're ordering without her, eating without her and we'll leave without telling her too because this is ridiculous. What was the point in saying yes if she was gonna take this long. We could've just ordered something and met up with her is she was gonna be doing all of this." Sango vented out.

She looked up at the guy she was with. "Why are you so calm? You've been waiting just as long as I have Ryura."

"The taller man sat down in a chair at a round table beside her casually scrolling through his phone. He shrugged his shoulders at Sango's question. "Eh, I kinda don't care. I just tagged along to chill honestly. I had nothing better to do."

She lightly pushed his shoulder. "Oh come on, you know you're mad too." She tried to egg him on but he didn't take the bait.

"No Sango." He said looking up at her. "I'm really not. Plus this girl coming might be really pretty. Wouldn't want to miss out on someone so gorgeous-Ow! What'd you hit me for?"

"Tsk, because that's my cousin! You don't need to worry about whether she's cute or not!" She snapped back.

"Yeah, yeah. You're probably just jealous that I want another woman to look at Ms.I had a crush on you back then but I don't really find you that cute now."

"Ugh! You're so annoying! I told you that just so there wouldn't be any hidden secrets between us. I really don't like you like that anymore." As she talked, her voice would get higher in pitch. To Ryura, she was trying to convince herself of her own lies more than him but he paid it no more attention than he wanted to.

"Look Sango, when I asked you out, you told me no. After that, you broke my heart and I never looked back. Can't blame a guy if he finds your cousin hot."

"You're being such a dick!"

"If you say so."

As the two of them went back and forth, Kagome rushed through the door in a pair of brand new wooden black open-toed wedges. Her hair was pulled up into a bun, and she rocked a pair of jean cuffed shorts with a plain white t-shirt. The restaurant hadn't been that big so she had spotted Sango and her friend as soon as she stepped her foot through the door. She jogged up to them as fast as her heels would let her.

"Hey! Sorry I took so long. Don't know how in the world my wallet ended up inside one of my shoes." She greeted them.

Almost simultaneously, Kagome and Ryura glanced at each other. Kagome hadn't been informed that Sango was bringing a friend. She had assumed that it would be just the two of them. Knowing that she made a complete stranger wait made her feel almost twice as bad but she did her best to brush the feeling off. The man had blue long hair, neatly placed together in a long straight braid. His jeans were tights but his low collar shirt hung loosely off of him. She wasn't sure if he was muscular underneath but she could see through his arms that he was working with some type of lean body underneath.

Kagome kept her glances short and sweet but Ryura didn't even make an attempt to hide his interest. He looked her up and down, adding a whistle sound for dramatic effect.

"Wow! You are beautful! Oh my gosh! Sango, why didn't you tell you me she was this good looking!" He blurted out, standing up.

"But where are my manners." He shook her hand, bowing his head. "My name's Ryura and it's my pleasure to meet someone as lovely as you."

"Okay that's enough Ryura, I'm hungry." Sango huffed, stomping over to the cashier.

Ryura waved her off, still holding Kagome's hand. "Don't mind her. I've known her for quite some time and she gets really hangry. I mean really hanrgy."

Kagome gave a slow nod. "Yeah uh...I see." She pulled her hand back, following behind Sango to order her food as well.

Once the three of them had their food, they sat at a close by round table, engaging is mostly meaningless conversation until Ryura brought up something oddly interesting to Kagome.

"So my ex thought she could pull a fast one and cheat on me but the jokes were all on her because I slept with her bestfriend two days later after she had the nerve to dump me."

Kagome put a hand over her mouth to cover the food she was eating as she let out a laugh. "You know, it's funny that you say that because my ex cheated on me and in about a week, I was in bed with his friend so jokes on him!"

Ryura cheered loudly, putting his hand in the air. "Yes! That's what I'm talking about! High-five for revenge!"

Kagome fived his hand in front of Sango's utterly annoyed face. She had been quiet for the most part during the entire time they'd been eating but Ryura and Kagome were having such a good time talking, that even when she didn't respond to them talking to her, they kept it moving.

This time, Sango did choose to speak up. "That's not even how it happened Kagome. Don't lie." She said, pulling her top lip up.

Before Kagome could talk, Ryua butted in. "Sango, stop being salty. It doesn't matter how it happened. Once you get with their friend, that is the ultimate form of disrespect and you are winning after that. There is no if, butts, or ands about it. Do you not listen to Nicki Minaj? Fuck his best friend, then make them yes men. And then you take a dick pic and then you press send. Then send a red heart and blow a kissy face and tell him that his friend love how your pussy taste! I mean, it's different for me because I like girls but you know same thing applies."

"You said the lyrics all wrong." Sango pointe out.

"Stop being a salty Sango...Sango. It's not cute. Did you not fuck your ex's best friend?"

"She can't because he's the one I took." Kagome popped in, taking a sip of her orange juice.

"What?! Y'all ex men run in the same circle! Oh that's messy right there. Damn. You can't even fuck with his friends because Kagome fucked with them all! Oh that's rich!" Ryura bust out in a fit of hysterical laughter, drawing in attention from nearby tables.

Kagome couldn't help it but his laugh was contagious and he brought up a good point. The only men she could have slept with to get back at Miroku would have been Inuyasha or Kouga but Kagome was seeing Inuyasha and Kouga was her ex so according to girl code, those two men were off limits. Sango on the other hand didn't find anything too funny.

"I like you Kagome. You are a real one. You understand my pain and my struggles and my revenge tactics." He praised her.

"Well you know I wasn't always like this but after being with someone for so long and they play with your emotions, it just does something to you ya know?"

He nodded in agreement. "Definitely because when she cheated on me, I almost fought a teacher and a security guard because the guy sat right next to me in class and I was ready to fuck him up just because. I had no reason to be mad at him. My girl slept with him but that's her fault. Not his...but he was at the wrong place at the wrong time and he was in close fist range. Just a bad ordeal altogether."

Kagome chuckled back. "Well at least you know who he cheated on you with. Mines was a complete whore and just slept with everyone."

"That's so nasty."

"I know which is why I'm glad I never slept with him."

"Okay! Well, I need to use the bathroom! Kagome do you wanna come with?" Sango grinded out, shoving herself from under the table and interrupting their conversation.

"Uh sure." Kagome agreed, sensing that something was off.

She followed Sango inside of the girl's bathroom. As she went through the door, she felt the urge to pee. Sango went into one stall while she went into the other. Proceeding about her business, felt a familiar feeling in her stomach once again. When she saw blood on the tissue, she inwardly sweared.

"I'm getting so sick of Ryura. Like how do you come along with me to get breakfast and all you can do is talk to my cousin. I'm so sick of boys Kagome. I really am. It's like I can never catch a break." Sango said as she left the stall to wash her hands.

Kagome pulled out an emergency pad from her handbag. "Wait, do you like him Sango?" Kagome asked out of curiosity.

"No! I used to a while back but not anymore. He asked me out after that, I said no and that was the end of it but I don't know. I feel like he's trying to make me jealous."

'Well, you certainly do sound jealous...' Kagome thought but decided to keep that thought to herself.

"Well Sango, if you aren't jealous, then what's wrong?"

"Ugh! I don't know. Its just I hate when I let people come with me somewhere, and they act as if I don't exist. To make matters worse, he is clearly hitting on you."

"No he's not Sango." Kagome said, flushing the toilet and leaving the stall.

She washed her hands beside Sango. "He just seems like a social person."

"Pft, yeah. Seems like but he isn't. That's how he gets girls. Make them think that he just wants to be friends and then he drops it on you that he likes you"

"Sango, I just think you're over reacting."

Kagome meant what she said in the least harmful way possible but unfortunately, Sango didn't take it too kindly. "What? How am I over reacting? You're the one feeding into his bullshit and telling him all your business which you're also making it seem like you're this bad bitch that's scheming people and you're really not."

Kagome looked to her cousin with a piercing look. "Sango, I did not make it seem that way. I literally did end up in bed with Inuyasha. I didn't plan it but it made Kouga mad anyway when he found out so yeah. The joke is on him. I don't need him anymore and I'm doing okay without him."

Sango's back was leaning against the sink counter. She couldn't even look at Kagome at this point. "Okay but that's only because you're fucking around with that freak half demon that has no respect for women whatsoever but if you're into being treated like shit and thrown to the side after he fucks you, then be my guest Kagome. I've just been trying to look out for you and you clearly just don't care so I'm done trying."

Kagome rolled her eyes, flicking the water off of her hands. "Sango, I'm doing perfectly fine. Thanks for the concern but I really wish you wouldn't let your hatred for him get in the way of how he is actually treating me. When is the last time you ever asked how I was doing because you seem to know how Inuyasha is treating me from everyone else but from my actual mouth."

She turned to Kagome with her lips tightning together, glaring at her with widened eyes. "Are you freaking kidding me? You are a freshman. I've been with these guys for the past two years or whatever and I know them way better than you do so how are you gonna tell me anything different about him? Because I've been down that road with a few girls that thinks he is so different and turns out, he's not. Shocker!"

Kagome banged her fist on the counter. "Sango, I am so tired of having this conversation with you. I just want to live but you and Kouga are stressing me out and I'm not giving Inuyasha the benefit of the doubt and he has been nothing but kind to me-"

"For now! That's what I've been trying to tell you! Watch, as soon as he fucks you, he'll start acting different!"

"Whatever Sango, let's just drop this because me and you clearly aren't ever gonna see eye to eye." Kagome put her hands up and walked out of the bathroom.

When Kagome returned, Sango came shortly behind her. "Sorry we took so long. You know how girls are." Kagome apologized to Ryura.

"No problem but I have to get going in a minute but I'd love to continue our conversation. Can we exchange numbers or something? If that's okay. I don't know if you have a boyfriend or something and I don't wanna cause trouble just by being there-"

"Oh no! You're fine! I don't have a boyfriend so you don't have to worry about anything. Even if I did, I wouldn't stay if he wouldn't let me have friends."

"Ok cool!" He wrote his number down and gave it to Kagome and Kagome did the same for him.

"Bye Sango! I'll hit you up later today!" He shouted, dashing out of the door leaving the two women in silence.

"Well..." She swirled around the grape juice in her cup. "Inuyasha's not your boyfriend but you're standing up for him like he is."

"Oh hush Sango. He hasn't asked me out yet but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you talk trash about him when he hasn't done anything wrong to me."

Kagome was leaving out the fact that Inuyasha had almost slept with another woman only because Sango would never let her hear the end of it if she did tell her.

"Plus, it's been almost a month. Why would he ask me out so soon?"

"Because he likes you? Which I know he doesn't"

"Whatever you say Sango. Are you still messing around with Miroku?" Kagome dropped the question on her because she recalled Inuyasha telling her that the two of them still messed around.

"Why are you asking?"

"Just curious."

"Well the answer is no. I don't still mess with him. The last time I saw him was like a few days ago but we didn't do anything. He seemed stressed if anything but I guess we're just finally accepting we're not meant to be and that's okay."

Kagome took another sip of her orange juice. "Well he has every reason to be stressed but he did it to himself honestly."

Sango squinted her eyes at her before relaxing her face. She then rested her forehead in his her palms. "I am just over everyone at this school. I'm ready to get up out of here."

She rubbed Sango's back. "I get it but I honestly think you need to enjoy yourself more Sango. Just take time and spend it around people you want to be around. Maybe that's why life has been so depressing for you."

"Well...I guess you're right but I can't help it though. I just attract toxic people."

"For starters, you need to learn how to be alone. Just take some time to yourself and get to know yourself better." Kagome suggested.

Sango and Kagome spent the next half an hour catching up on what's been going on in their lives and Kagome was surprised to hear that Sango not only rejoined the mixed martials arts club but she also enrolled in the free counseling that was offered at the school. Kagome didn't see any progress in Sango's habits but she tried to still keep an open mind about it. Kagome felt like she had been out enough and decided it was time to part ways, she gave Sango a hug before she strutted her way back to Inuyashas apartment.

"Bankotsu stop!" Shippo whined for his boyfriend to get from over top of him. One of his professors had posted a last minute homework assignment that was due at 12 AM. Instead of procrastinating, Shippo wanted to get it out of the way but his clingy boyfriend wasn't letting up.

After the two had gotten home, Bankotsu was not only still wasted from all of the alcohol he consumed, but he was immensely horny and Shippo wasn't trying to give anything up for once. He was tired from all of the drama that took place and just wanted to cuddle. Most of his time sleeping consisted of him trying to pry Bankotsu's hand off of his groin.

"You can't walk around me in nothing but leggings and a crop top and expect me not to want to fuck you. You look so delicious, I swear-"

"Bitch move!" Shippo voice deepened as he balled his fist up and banged Bankotsu on the left side of his head.

Bankotsu wasn't affected too much by Shippo's act of aggression. Instead, it turned him on twice as much. He grabbed hold of Shippo's wrists tightly, holding them down above his head. To the fox demon's dismay, his neck soon became invaded with Bankotsu's lips sucking over his soft skin and his tongue caressing over his hot spots. With his small amount of will power left, Shippo tried to wiggle his legs upwards to knee him in the balls but this only resulted in the muscular body above him pushing down, and grinding against him. He could feel not only the rock hard boner from his lover but even his own hard on rising to the surface.

"You want me baby? Say it for me. You know what I like." Bankotsu voice rumbled out against him.

Shippo had mentally given in, letting his body relax into the twin bed beneath him and allowing Bankotsu to have his way. "Mmm, yes daddy." He moaned out just as Bankotsu liked.

Although Bankotsu was bisexual, he had little things he liked regardless of whichever gender he dated. One trait in particular he liked was for his lover to be moaning at the top of their lungs as high pitched as their voices could go. Shippo was almost certain that since his boyfriend had only dated women his entire life, that he found girlier voices more attractive in bed but Bankotsu swore up and down that it was just a habit he found sexy all of his life. It was one of the major turn ons he had when he first met Shippo as the bottom lit the bathroom up with his passionate voice. After that encounter, Bankotsu wasn't sure where him and Shippo would go from there but he did know that he was down to fuck anytime Shippo wanted him.

He pulled Shippo's legs around his waist, smacking both his ass cheeks in his large tan hands. "That's right. Moan for daddy."

Just as Bankotsu's fingers slid into the waistband of Shippo's leggings, Shippo's phone rung bringing him out of his trance. He snatched his phone, seeing a selfie of Kagome appear on the screen. He shoved Bankotsu off of him.

"I'll suck your dick in a minute. Let me answer my main." He said, putting his other hand in Bankotsu's face but Bankotsu had other plans. He pulled down Shippo's pants just enough for him to get the mouth on his shaft.

"Hey bitch, wassup?" Shippo answered, trying not to pay Bankotsu too much attention.

"Hey, I'm about to go in the house but I had to tell you what just happened." Kagome said from the other end.

"Oh, you know I'm always here for the tea. What happened?"

As Shippo's hand rested atop of Bankotsu's let down hair, Kagome told him everything that had happened between her and Sango while they were out. After she finished, she asked Shippo about his opinion concerning the situation for she was unsure whether or not she should listen to Sango.

"I mean, she has a point. She's known Inuyasha longer but that doesn't always mean anything because people change and sometimes people can be haters for years so I wouldn' know Kagome. Plus she hates Inuyasha so she could just be salty that you have a man and she doesn't. Oh! Maybe she likes Inuyasha-BITCH THAT HAS TO BE IT!" Shippo has been rambling on that he got caught up in his own theories.

"Now Shippo, I think you're pushing it a bit.-"

"No Kagome! That has to be it, it makes sense. I mean yeah a lot of girls have told her stuff but remember Inuyasha told her when Miroku was cheating on her and she still got mad at him! No! Maybe they fucked one night by accident and Sango is mad that Inuyasha didn't have feelings for her- Kagome you have to confront Inuyasha. It's only right."

"No Shippo! You're really gassing yourself up right now. I highly doubt anything happened between them."

"But I bet you your bitch on the phone right now can find out by the end of today. Just ask Inuyasha and if he lies to you, we'll know because I got the connections that'll tell me."

Shippo was always here for drama and messiness and wanting to get to the bottom of Kagome's situation all of a sudden became his top priority. So much, that he almost didn't care how good Bankotsu was sucking him off.

"Shippo, I really don't think anything happened. Plus the only person that would know is Miroku and none of us are cool with him."

"Yeah but Kagome, you're forgetting one major person that knows how to get under people's skin and has a master's degree in lurkology."

She paused for a moment for realizing who Shippo had been talking about. "Wait, Naraku? No Shippo, we might have had a night of fun but I don't know how I feel about getting him involved in my business."

"Kagome, chill. It's cool. Naraku is chill and plus it's Sango's business more than it is yours."

"Yeah but Miroku has a big mouth. If word gets back to her that he said something, she's gonna know it was me that wanted to find all of this out."

"And if she do? What she gonna do? Is she gonna wanna fight or? Because if she is just gonna be all talk, you shouldn't worry about that Kagome. If she is not trying to give you the answers you need, then that's on her... Look, ask her, then ask Inuyasha, and then I'll have the whole story from Naraku later. That way we can catch two liars with one stone because I bet you my left ass check that they not gonna tell you shit."

"Whatever Shippo. I'll talk to you later. I'm about to go inside."

"Okay bitch, I'm gonna go get some dick. Love you!"

"Ew!" She squealed over the phone, hanging up before he could go any further into detail.

When she opened the door, Inuyasha was still in his same place on the couch but this time there were a bunch of loose papers surrounding him and his ponytail was now up in a messy bun. He didn't look up from the screen when he heard her wedges clack against the floor. She still had the thought of Sango on the mind but didn't want to interrupt Inuyasha from his homework. She went straight to his room and got undressed from there.

As she then laid in bed, she could hear Inuyasha in the other room. She lifted her head up to see the door was slightly cracked. She turned out of bed to close it, not wanting to make any small noises that would distract him but as soon as she put her palm on the door, she heard something strange come from Inuyasha's mouth.

"I don't know. Maybe I don't want a girl just yet. Maybe I just wanna have a little fun before taking that extra step. I don't wanna put pressure where pressure isn't needed. Besides, you know how I am in a relationship."

There was a moment of silence before Inuyasha continued talking.

"Look, liking someone doesn't mean you're in a relationship. I just wanna test the waters for now. I could be in love today, and next week, I could meet someone who changes my mind. The same goes for her. All I'm saying is you never know what tomorrow brings so stop trying to make me rush things that don't have to be rushed."

Her muscles started to tense up the more she listened in on his conversation. Even though she had no problem proclaiming her single status, hearing him talk about it made her feel a hell of a lot worse than it did when she talked about it. She couldn't bring herself to have a clear opinion on Inuyasha but whenever he appeared as if he could stray at any minute, she immediately felt anxious and couldn't stand the thought of seeing him give his love to someone else. Her inner guilt arose as she realized how selfish her thinking had become. She couldn't tell him how she felt but didn't want him to go anywhere but to her. Deciding she had enough, she was about to push the door close when Inuyasha spoke up again.

"I mean...She's really cute, she has this weird pouty thing she does with her lips when she sleeps as if she's asking for a kiss, and whenever she comes around me, I can actually hear her heart speed up. She likes to act like she doesn't like me but I know she does. I honestly just think she is purposely fighting feeling anything. I think she's scared."

His words did just that and made her heart speed up a little as she a put a hand over her chest to try and calm her body's reaction.

"Yeah, I know. I'm fucked but I can't help it. Kouga brought the most bomb girl around me and expected me not to feel some type of way. She's so fucking smart too and she can hold a conversation that's not about sex. Even if I turn it sexual she just has this intellect about her that I find attractive and you know me. I can't date a dumb bitch. That shit is irritating."

She held back a giggle that had been trying to force it's way through.

"Mhm, yup. I talked to mom the other day and she made me so mad because I guess ever since I found out that there was girls that looked like Shiori, I have just been in love with curvier women. I still fucked here and there with a few small girls but they don't attract me the same way a girl with ass, titties, thighs, and a tummy do...Fuck you mean I'm weird? You're into bony bitches, I'm into curvy women. You like that flat chest shit. I need something to lay on when I'm having a hard day. If you lay on her tummy, there is no cushion there so sooth your head like what do you see in that shit man?"

Kagome had let herself go since she had stopped figure skating and for the most part, she had expected no one to really find her that good looking but as she paid close attention to what Inuyasha was saying, it became clear as to why he was so physically attracted to her.

"You like those non-existent lips, I like lips I can suck on. We just like two different things Sesshomaru. I was skinny for so long, I don't ever wanna go back to being bony and I don't want my women bony either. I don't think I could be with someone that was like super huge but I like when average sized girls have a bit of extra weight on them. They appreciate it more when you're strong enough to pick them up. The excitement in their eyes when a man tells them that they aren't too heavy to carry. Sorry, skinny women don't appreciate just want my dick."

Kagome closed the door deciding then that she had heard enough of the conversation. She was still a little unsure about her feelings but knowing more about as to why Inuyasha found her attractive boosted her ego just a tad bit. She rested herself in bed again, pulling the group message from earlier up. Shippo and Naraku had been talking all day and Shippo only recently had stopped responding. She was shocked to see they had already been talking about Sango prior to her even calling Shippo's phone.

Shippo: Miroku is stupid. Tell him I said beat Kouga's ass.

Naraku: You think I didn't try? He just keeps making excused.

Shippo: I guess he like getting his ass beat. Probably why he was with Sango.

Naraku: Lol, Sango did used to beat the shit out of him.

Shippo: You know Sango still hates Inuyasha?

Naraku: yeah, that will never change.

Shippo: Kagome and I was in class one day and she shoulder bumped Kagome so hard. I didn't know that was her so I was ready to snatch the ponytail out of her hand like don't bump my friend.

Naraku: I don't play about my friends either. Get a drink thrown your way real quick

Shippo: Shiiit. I almost forgot I was a man because Sango almost got a two piece combo that day.

Naraku: Lol.

Shippo: Kagome really ignoring us. Probably cause we talking about her cousin.

Naraku: Sango is a big girl. She can stand up for herself. Seriously, I've seen her fight. She really can handle her own.

Shippo: Well she has taken a bunch of fighting classes, she better be able to fight. lol, Should we tell Kagome what we said?

Naraku: I'll tell her my damn self. We were going to cuss her out if all she did was pull Kikyo's hair. We didn't care if she only threw one punch just as long as she didn't only pull hair

Shippo: We were gonna disown you Kagome XD

Naraku: Sure was. We fight too much to be associated with that bullshit. But we were pleased that you beat her ass that bad

Shippo: It's only a matter of time before someone uploads the video and Kagome goes viral

Kagome read over all of the messages before her stomach did two flips and a somersault backwards. She pulled up Inuyasha's phone number and shot him a quick text message.

Kagome: Hey, you have any pain meds? I'm dying.

Shortly after she sent that, the bed room door opened and Inuyasha walked in with a dozen bottles in hand along with a cup of water. He placed them all beside her and told her to pick which one she wanted. She went for her go to medicine which was three Motrin pills. She took the water from him, popping the three pills in her mouth and swallowed them as fast as she could. The quicker the medication went down, the quicker she didn't have to worry about the cramps invading her abdomen.

"Thank you so much. You're too kind." She thanked him before turning around, grasping her stomach for dear life.

"No, problem. I'll be in the living room if you need me." He said, exiting the room again. His nose picked up on the smell as soon as she came home. Plus living with his mother made him realize how serious a girl's time of the month was. He thought the movies over exaggerated how women acted on their periods but after a lot of first hand encounters, he came to realize that the movies only told the truth.

As the hours of the day went by, Inuyasha's pile of homework slowly became smaller and he was almost at a place where he was sure he could stop and take a break. He knew his major would require a lot of reading and writing but there were always days where he'd find himself in disbelief at just how much reading and writing they wanted done from someone. He hated the idea of coming home and doing homework. Lucky for him, he didn't have to work while in school so whenever he'd set up his schedule, he would leave time gaps in between his classes if he could so that he would have time to finish his homework throughout the day and his evenings could be free. He had put off a few papers and now they were coming back to haunt him on a Sunday. By the time, he finished majority of everything, the sun was packing up her bags, ready to go the other side of the world.

Inuyasha put together all of his big homework, labeled them, and threw them inside their appropriate folders. He then grabbed his foot and pulled his leg up into a standing split on the couch. Once he heard the crack in his joint muscles, the fuzzy feeling in his limbs slowly faded out and he walk without feeling stiff. Once he was on his feet, stomach growling from the lack of food, he looked over at his bedroom door thinking about the woman in his bed. He hadn't heard from her since she needed the pills. He went inside the room to check on her to find that she was fast asleep on the bed, curled up in the fetal position.

KNOCK KNOCK

The sound of a hard knock took Inuyasha out of his current thoughts and turned his attention to the door. He hadn't given anyone his address so he wasn't too sure who could be knocking at the door. As he approached the metal surface, a familiar scent hit his nose. He swung the door open to see the taller frame standing in front of him along with a tiny women standing beside him. As far as Inuyasha knew, he assumed it was Kagura; Sesshomaru's wife.

"Sesshomaru what the fuck?! We're not even supposed to be anywhere till like two hours from now." Inuyasha raged at his his older brother.

Sesshomaru plucked Inuyasha out of his way, walking inside with his wife following behind him. "I just wanted to see what you've done with the place Inuyasha. Is that so bad?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, shutting the door behind the two of them. "No, but you sure do have a habit of showing up places unannounced. Kagome isn't even dressed yet, shit she's not even awake!"

Sesshomaru spun around, giving Inuyasha a stoic look. "You mean to tell me we made these plans and your date isn't even getting ready yet?"

"Fuck off Sesshomaru. She's not feeling good so I was gonna let her sleep in before we had to be anywhere. Not my fault you came here early expecting us to be ready to go."

His older brother then sported a tiny smile. "That is fine. It'll give us time to catch up before we meet this new woman of yours."

Inuyasha walked past them towards his room. "Whatever. Just sit down or something. I don't really care. I'll get her up."

When the half demon stepped into his room, he saw Kagome was no sprawled across the entire bed on her stomach. It killed him softly inside that he had to disturb her but he at least wanted to give her the heads up. He sat down beside her, gently shaking her.

"Hey Kagome." He spoke.

"Mmmm." She groaned.

"I know. I know...You hungry? You've been a sleep for a while."

She nodded her head with her eyes still closed. "Mhm."

"Okay, uh. How about we go out tonight? You think you'll be in the mood to?"

She continued to groan out inaudible answers which Inuyasha couldn't blame her for. He got up to join both his brother and his wife in the living room while Kagome finished up her nap. Upon walking out, he first noticed that both his brother and his brother's wife were on opposite couches. Sesshomaru had one leg over the other as he tapped on his touch screen phone and Kagura simply had a book in hand to read. There wasn't any type of side conversation going on.

'Maybe they're just tired?' Inuyasha thought to himself, taking a seat beside Sesshomaru.

"Well, how have you two been?" Inuyasha asked, trying to start up conversation as he leaned back into the couch, resting his hands on his head.

"I'd be better if you had a shirt on and would stop walking around like you're some type of animal dear brother." Sesshomaru said.

"Sorry, don't feel like it."

"Of course you'd say that. That's what all animals say."

"Animals can't talk dumbass." Inuyasha continued to tease.

Kagura then placed her book face down in her lap. "Ahem, well Animals can talk, they just simply do not speak english. It's very ignorant to only consider english as the only language in the world." She responded back, adding a sweet smile for extra effect.

"Pft, yeah yeah. It's the only language I speak. You all decided that when I was born, there would be no more Japanese in the household."

"Don't put that on me. That was your dad's- I mean our dad's stupid decision. Fuck, I am just having a hard time calling this man my father."

"Because you disowned him a long time ago." Inuyasha pointed out.

The ladder shrugged his shoulders, resting his chin in his palm. "Well that's not my fault. He was a dad for a while and then he just stopped. I can't keep pretending to see him like something I feel he isn't to me."

"Have either or you spoken to your mom yet? I'm sure she is having tough time right now?" Kagura said.

Both brothers glanced to one another and shook their heads before looking back at Kagura.

"Yeah, it's kinda a touchy subject. We don't really know how to approach her about it. She's been trying so hard to keep everything together and to make things work...I honestly feel like she'd want to be left alone about it. She hates it when we get in their business." Inuyasha explained as Sesshomaru nodded his head the entire time.

"Yes. I would know first hand since I'm always in their business. She yells at me all the time for it but it's hard not to care when she's the one that's taken care of you all your life."

Kagura lowered her head. "I see...but you told me before Sesshomaru that your real mom was also in your life?"

"She tried but she failed. Eventually she found a sugar daddy, and disappeared somewhere. Our mom wanted to find her and beat her up for that. I remember..."

"She did? When was this?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru ruffled Inuyasha's hair around, heaving out a huge sigh. "Long before you were born. Don't worry about it. The woman's long gone now and I could care less. I don't see her as my mother anyway...Damn. Both are my biological parents are fuck ups."

"And look at how you turned out. All successful and shit." Inuyasha leaped on Sesshomaru ruffling his neatly straightened hair.

"Yeah, yeah. Get off of me." Sesshomaru pushed Inuyasha off.

The three of them proceeded to talk for a little while before Sesshomaru reminded Inuyasha that their reservation time was coming up. Inuyasha needed to get ready as well so he saw getting Kagome up as the perfect opportunity to get dressed as well. When he opened the door, he saw Kagome still laying down on her stomach but she was awake and on her phone. Inuyasha crawled over top of her, giving the back side of her kisses.

"I see someone's awake."

"Mmm...Yeah. Just texting Sango." Kagome responded.

"I honestly don't know how you still like that girl but hey, do you." He said, getting up.

Kagome could only shrug her shoulders. "She's not a bad person. She just has a lot of issues."

"If you say so...I know this is going to sound weird but would you like to go out to eat still? My brother and his wife are waiting for us in the living room and-"

"Woah there, what do you mean your brother? He's here? Why didn't you tell me he was coming over, I would've just went home earlier." Kagome cut him off.

"Because I found this out last minute just like you did. He just wants to go out to eat with us while he's in town or whatever. You don't have to go because I know you're not feeling too well."

She used her arms to lift her torso off the bed. "It's fine, it's fine Inuyasha. I'll go. I just wish I would've have a longer time to get ready."

"Yeah, sorry about that. My brothers is kind of a person that runs by his own schedule and no one else's."

The two of them got ready in silence, trying to make the process as quick as possible.

---

Inuyasha knew his brother like the back of his hand. After following around someone for as long as they could, practically memorizing their blinking schedule, there were certain habits and attributes that would be close to impossible not to notice. For Sesshomaru, it was his punctuality. If Inuyasha wanted to be somewhere, he'd prefer to be on time but did not stress too much if being late was fate's calling. Sesshomaru on the other hand hated to be late, regardless of the occasion. If there was even the slightest chance of being late, Sesshomaru would become a different person in the blink of an eye. A current example would be Sesshomaru flying down the highway going thirty miles over the speed limit, swerving his way in between cars without a blinker to meet their reservation time.

Kagome was the one that had actually been ready prior to Inuyasha. Inuyasha had bought her a sparkly red halter top dress that flowed and puffed out from the waist down, stopping mid-thigh. To compliment it, she sported a black, three-inch heel, open toed shoe and a new pair of gold hoop earrings that magically appeared as she was getting ready. She chose to spend time on her face instead of her hair since she didn't mind how it looked in it's naturally wavy form after being brushed out. She kept her foundation light and only contoured and highlighted her nose, wanting to spend more time, on her eyes. Skipping out on eyeshadow, she prayed to the makeup gods that she could perfect her wing eyeliner and after staring at herself boldly for over five minutes, she had two sister wings on her eyes. She threw on the most decent pair of eyelashes she could find out of the new set that Inuyasha bought before adding some gloss.

She whipped around after feeling like time was slapping her in the back to hurry up just to find Inuyasha taking his sweet time putting on a pair of fitted suit pants. Her hand itched to smack him in the shoulder but her old hand held it, pleading for self control. She cleared her throat before calmly speaking.

"Inuyasha, how are you not finished getting dressed?" She asked, leaning against the dresser.

"Sorry. I got distracted by facebook. I was just looking at a meme and then all of sudden you were ready. My bad." He buttoned his pants, pulling out the fabric that got tucked into the waistband.

By the time Inuyasha finished getting ready, an hour had past and the restaurant Sesshomaru picked unbeknownst to Inuyasha was almost an hour away. This left the group with a little over half an hour to get there in time. Surprisingly enough, Inuyasha spent most of his time flat ironing his hair in sections. Upon finding this information out, Sesshomaru practically threw a toddler fit, storming out of their apartment. Kagome heard the door bust open and went to check out the source when she found Inuyasha finishing up his hair and wrapping up the flat iron. Sesshomaru's actions were nothing new to Inuyasha. To him, it was a flashback to the mornings when he had to take Inuyasha to school before having to be at his own school on time because the designated parent wanted to sleep in.

Inuyasha knew how to be a reckless driver but knowing how to drive has never prevented an accident with another driver that might not be as skilled behind the wheel. Inuyasha could swerve in between cars without his blinker just as well as Sesshomaru, but it was normally something he didn't like to do which is why he tries to keep his keys out of his face whenever he's angry because that would be his go to action if he'd ever be behind the wheel with rage in his heart. To add on to the situation, Kagome was in the passenger seat, hanging on for dear life as he was trying to keep up with Sesshomaru's persistence on the road.

"Did you really need to fla-AAH...Flat iron your hair-can we slow down! This is way too fast-YOU GUYS ARE GOING FIFTY OVER THE SPEED LIMIT!" Kagome freaked out.

Inuyasha kept his eyes on the road, and both hands on the wheel not trusting his normal one hand method. "Don't put this on me. I have mixed hair textures in my head that start getting visible after a while okay? I don't need half straight, half crinkly hair. Imma look dumb."

"Okay, Inuyasha but you couldn't do that earlier?"

"Didn't think about it till I walked my ass in the bathroom and saw the back of my head."

About ten minutes into the drive, Sesshomaru was almost out of eye view for Inuyasha. To the half demon, it even appeared as if his brother was still speeding up. Inuyasha was already over one-hundred miles per hour, and Sesshomaru was only getting further and further. It was then that he knew this was a race he didn't want to win.

"Okay, so...he's going suicide speed right now and he can do that but...I'm not. That's bullshit. If one-ten isn't fast enough for him, I'm not about to kill myself over this. We'll get there when we get there." Inuyasha declared, allowing Kagome to finally breathe and be at ease in the car.

He remained in the left lane, keeping a steady speed along with the traffic, driving with one hand. "Yeah, sorry about that. Sesshomaru is normally a pretty calm person but when he's gonna be late, he turns into Sessnomaru."

"Sessnomaru?" Kagome asked, chuckling at the name.

"Yup, that's what I call his ass when he turns into his ultimate form. He hates that fucking name but I told him I'll stop only if he stops being Sessnomaru. My brother is the most calmest person on earth till you really push him. Sessnomaru loses his shit at everything."

"So..." Kagome started. "That means Kouga would Nouga."

Inuyasha's chest heaved in and out as a laugh escaped his lips. "Yup. His ass is Nouga now."

"And when Inuyasha is drunk, you're Inu-yaassss-sha!" She joked, twerking in the seat for extra effect.

Inuyasha pursed his lips, giving her the side eye as he secretly enjoyed her tease. "Oh hush."

"No, you have to keep it going. Since you're the opposite of Sesshomaru, when you aren't trying to fight someone or mad at the world, you're Inunosha."

"You damn right I'm Inunosha. The baddest bitch on campus. I remember."

"Oh my gosh! Really? You're still on that?"

"Yup, get on my level Kanome because that's what you're gonna be everytime you get mad and start hating on me for no reason."

"So I'm Kanome now?" Kagome turned in her seat, giving Inuyasha her full attention as she found it hard to take the huge smile off of her face.

"No, you're princess now but when you get mad at me, you're gonna be Kanome. I don't care if you mad at other bitches or dudes. I'm the only that matters because Inunosha, the baddest bitch with the fattest ass to ever live"

"Don't forget A-cup titties bitch."

"Shut the fuck up, we all can't have D-cups Kahoeme."

Her jaw dropped, and she smacked him on the shoulder, earning a cheeky grin from him in return. "I'm Kahoeme now too? How am I a hoe?"

"Because hoes always hating and right now you are hating on the baddest bitch Inunosha and I don't appreciate it."

Kagome and Inuyasha had become so engrossed in their playful banter that when it was time to exit the highway, Inuyasha had almost missed his exit and had to cut off passing by traffic four lanes over to make the oncoming exit. The restaurant was one that his brother had wanted to attend and Inuyasha had no idea what he was getting himself into by accepting Sesshomaru's request.

The older male and his wife had arrived in time for the reservation with Inuyasha and Kagome trailing in twenty minutes after them to find that they had already been seated reading their menu's. Inuyasha was no stranger to fancy places but Kagome wasn't used to everything in the area looking pretty but fragile. Glass ornaments sat atop silk table cloths, and the chairs cushions appeared incredibly fluffy. Dozens of miniature chandeliers hung from the ceiling and the marble floors were almost porcelain white.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome's chair out for her to sit in before taking his seat beside her. The two picked up their menus, quickly going over the average selection.

"Nice of you two to join us." Sesshomaru said from behind his menu.

"Thank you Sessnomaru." Inuyasha responded, causing a menu to be slapped down on the table in annoyance followed by a small chuckle to erupt from both him and Kagome.

"Ahem...I told you not to call me that Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said, attempting to keep his calm demeanor.

"Well I told you to stop flipping out like that and you wouldn't have to worry about me calling you Sessnomaru. So whose in the wrong now?"

Sesshomaru heavily rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to the menu. He had already decided what he wanted to eat but not to drink.

"Why haven't we seen a waiter yet?" Kagura asked, as she closed her menu.

"Because I told them, Kagura, that I don't want them bothering us until our guests joined us." Sesshomaru explained.

"Well they're here so why hasn't anyone stopped by to at least take our drinks?"

"Kagura please, you're giving me a headache. I asked for a specific waitress so if she is busy taking care of other tables, of course she isn't going to notice our guests arrived just yet."

"Okay, but you did all of that driving just to have us all sit here and wait? That makes no sense Sesshomaru."

"I did all of that driving, Kagura, so that we wouldn't miss our reservation time. We could be here all night for all I care. As long as we were on time, I care for nothing else but good quality service from our waitress."

Inuyasha cut the two off. "Excuse me for a second, I don't mean to interrupt your marital banter but Sesshomaru, you requested a specific waitress? Why? You know someone here or something?" Inuyasha asked, confused by his brother's decision.

The full demon shrugged his shoulders. "Well, if you must know, a colleague of mine recommended this place to me and told me, if I wanted the best service possible, to request a waitress named Rin."

"What's so special about her? I know we did not come all the way out here for you to flirt with a waitress in front of my face."

Sesshomaru turned to the obviously on edge Kagura, taking her hand in his. "Kagura, please...either go to the bathroom and get your attitude together or stop embarrassing me in front of my brother and his girlfriend."

Kagome coughed at the word "girlfriend" after it slipped off of Sesshomaru's tongue. The action went over the heads from the couple across from her but not to her male friend beside her.

"Ugh! If anything, you're the one embarrassing both yourself and me. I don't need to go anywhere. You haven't even properly introduced us to Inuyasha's date. That's probably why she's so quiet." Kagura pointed out.

Sesshomaru paused momentarily, taking a deep breath and looking towards Kagome with the straightest facial expression. "How are you Kagome? I've heard a lot about you from my brother."

Kagome had averted her eyes to the scenery around her not wanting to get caught staring at the two and being thought of as nosy. She hadn't expected Sesshomaru to speak to her, so she had to adjust herself again in her chair and clear her throat.

"I-I'm great. Thanks for asking and um, I'm sure he has spoken a lot about me. I hope they're good things." She spoke, looking up at Inuyasha who gave her a small side smile in return. She could already tell what was going through his head.

"Yes, good things indeed. This is my wife Kagura and I do apologize for her behavior. I promise you she isn't always like this."

"That is it! I am done! I am not going to sit here and take this bullshit this time! I put up with it at every single business meeting you have but not today! I'll be in the car!" She shoved her hand in Sesshomaru's pants pocket, snatching the keys and storming out past a few passerbys.

Inuyasha and Kagome glanced eachother's way before noticing Sesshomaru wasn't bothered in the slightest by Kagura's exit. Inuyasha exhaled deeply, shaking his head.

"Did you guys get into a fight or something before you came here or?" Inuyasha asked.

"No, she has just been super moody lately. She might still be upset because I told her I didn't want her to carry any babies of mine."

"What? I thought you guys had that conversation like months ago?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "We did but ever since then, she has been super moody. Can't go five seconds without her getting upset over something. I will say that as of recently I haven't been doing anything to make it better because I do egg her on and even sometimes provoke her but I am just tired of dealing with it."

Inuyasha looked over to see Kagome staring down at the table. He could her uncomfortable energy radiating towards him. He opened his mouth to try and change the subject but Sesshomaru continued on.

"This is my fault honestly. I don't know what made me think an arranged marriage was a good idea. She grew on me pretty quickly after our honeymoon but now she's starting to get on my nerves and I'm this close to paying for her to go back to where she came from."

Inuyasha bucked his neck back. "What? After all those times you told me she was starting to make you feel things because she cared so much for you? Stop acting like you don't love her."

Sesshomaru crossed his legs, leaning back in his chair and resting his palms in his lap. "Inuyasha, look at her. She just stormed out and I bet you she'll come back calm, sit here next to me and she'll probably even apologize. Even when I provoke her, she'll say stuff back but she won't get even. I could say anything I want out of my mouth to her and she just takes it. It's annoying."

"That's heartless as fuck Sesshomaru. How about you just try not saying anything you want out of your mouth to her? I'm sure that's a good solution." Inuyasha responded sarcastically.

He shrugged his shoulders again, not changing his stance. "It is. I agree with you. I just can't make her be something she isn't. I just wished she loved herself more. If she did, she wouldn't put up with half of the shit I put her through."

Inuyasha's head fell forward as he smacked his forehead. "I mean, you could always just not put her through shit? I don't know if that'll work for you but I'm sure thats a good solution too."

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to say something back but they were then greeted by their ecstatic waitress. "Hi! Thank you for your patience and sorry to keep you all waiting!" The young woman greeted them apologetic for the hold up.

"No problem at all. We had a waiter already; its just I made a special request to have you as our waitress after hearing about you from Jaken." Sesshomaru said.

"Oh really? Tell him I said thanks a bunch! He's been sending a lot of people my way and it's been really good for my commission here."

Inuyasha looked at her with raised eyebrows. "I'm sorry, you said commission? You mean you guys don't live off tips here?" He asked bluntly.

The waitress had no problem giving an answer with a smile. "Yeah, this place is awesome to work out because customers don't feel like they have to come out of pocket to tip and we are given a base pay and then commission based on customer referrals as well as what you guys rate us at the end of everything so it's top priority to always keep the customers happy...or at least most of them anyway."

Inuyasha nodded slowly, understanding what she was saying. "Hmm, that's actually pretty decent."

"Yeah it sure is but let's get you guys taken care of shall we. My name is Rin and I'll be your waitress today. Can I get you guys started off with anything to drink? Appetizers?" She recited the lines as if she had been doing the job her entire life but to Sesshomaru's knowledge from Jaken, she'd only been working at the place for four months.

The three placed an order for their drinks and Sesshomaru ordered Kagura a glass of water. After Rin walked away, Sesshomaru's gaze fell on Kagome who kept her eyes on the table. A smirk glazed across his face.

"So Kagome," He started. "Tell me about yourself? It's hard to get information from my little brother when he's so busy telling me how cute he thinks you are."

Inuyasha gripped his fists in his lap, thanking the heavens that Rin hadn't come back with their drinks or he probably would've tossed his in Sesshomaru's face. He pressed his thick lips together, doing his best to ignored Sesshomaru and to keep his ears tuned in for Kagome's voice.

She shifted in her chair, playing with the end of her hair. She had tried to look him in the eyes but was having trouble keeping his intense gaze. That was something she found both brothers had in common. Kagome couldn't look them in the eyes to save her life but Inuyasha's gaze was a lot more alluring while Sesshomaru's gaze came off as someone who was waiting for your to mess up so he can call you out on it.

"Uh, yeah. Well I am an astrology major and this is my first year in college. I come from a small little family that lives on a hill in D.C. My mom works as a doctor mostly in the trauma E.R place so she's always on call. I have one little brother who is five years younger than me and I'll be turning 18 in a few weeks. I don't have too many hobbies but I did ice skate for a while when I was in high school. That's as general as I can get though."

Sesshomaru was staring at Inuyasha the entire time Kagome had been speaking just to see how he would react but Inuyasha knew him too well and wouldn't give the satisfaction of seeing his face when Kagome talked. Sesshomaru then had a few more tricks come into mind. If Inuyasha wouldn't pay him any attention, he'd simply make him. The taller male uncrossed his legs, and leaned forward over the table, folding his hands in front of him.

"How did you and my brother meet? You seem really comfortable around him."

This unfortunately for Sesshomaru was the only question Kagome had been preparing for so when Inuyasha turned to tell Sesshomaru to mind his business, Kagome already had an answer for him. "Oh he was my roommate at first and the other people didn't work out but he was a really good friend so we decided to keep in touch."

Sesshomaru chuckled. "You'd make a good politician. Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Hello, sorry for the wait on the drinks. A baby vomited on me and I had to change my shirt but here you are. A pink lemonade for the lady of the night, a sweet tea for the strong guy beside her, and a vodka cranberry mix for our big boss man in the nice suit." Rin placed everyone's drinks down, giving them all a happy shimmy as she did so. Her energy was emitting off onto Sesshomaru more than anybody whose smile jumped from mischievous to happy in seconds. This is when Inuyasha finally paid attention to his brother.

Rin pulled her notepad out of her cuffed collar shirt. "So what can I get you lovely people tonight?" She asked.

Sesshomaru ordered appetizers for everyone hoping Kagura would return by the time the order came out. This time, when Rin walked away, Inuyasha caught Sesshomaru's eyes following behind her.

"Hm, she's pretty. No wonder Jaken keeps talking about her." Sesshomaru said aloud, not caring who heard him.

Kagome kept quiet but her date couldn't. "You're fucked up Sesshomaru. How are you gonna let your wife walk out while you're in here calling another girl pretty?"

Sesshomaru shrugged again. "Bequiet Inuyasha. She's eyecandy is all."

"Mhm." Inuyasha leaned back in his chair, folding his arms.

Sesshomaru went back to talking to Kagome. "Well you seem like a nice girl Kagome but do tell, what is it you like about my brother? Does he interest you at all?"

"Sesshomaru, cut it out." Inuyasha blurted out, cutting in to the conversation.

"Shush young one. Grown people are speaking. Go on Kagome."

Kagome placed a hand on Inuyasha's lap. She could feel his tense energy rubbing off on her. "Calm down Inuyasha. It's fine. It's not a bad question."

'Not one that I'd prefer to answer but what's there to lose...' She thought to herself.

"Well, when we met I kind of found it weird how he was able to read me like he could tell a lot about me from just a few glances and I think that was something that did weird me out a bit at first as time went on, I found it interesting to say the least. Then when he told me his major and how this was something he wanted to do, it all made sense to me and I wanted to get to know him more from there. Plus he was really funny, and always made me laugh and stuff and he's super good with advice."

"So you like it when he talks your head off? I find that we're opposites in that department-"

"Hey! I don't even talk that much!" Inuyasha defended himself, causing a light laugh from both attendants.

"Inuyasha you do talk a lot but I like hearing you talk. You're really smart." Kagome persisted, squeezing his hand in hers, giving him the biggest smile he could muster. It was his turn to have trouble looking her in the face as his face lit up.

Sesshomaru leaned back in his chair, feeling that he had enough interrogating for one night. As he rested his arms on his laps, he saw Kagura coming back to their table. She quietly took her seat beside him. He looked at her with a straight face.

"Nice of you to join us Kagura."

"Nice to be back Sesshomaru." She responded sarcastically, looking away from him.

Rin came back with chicken pot skewers, and placed them on the table. "Here you all go. Nice, fresh, hot, and ready to eat. Are you guys ready to order your meal or do you need a little bit more time?" She asked.

"Yes, we're ready Rin." Sesshomaru spoke for everyone.

As soon as they all had ordered, Rin rushed back off. The more he saw her, the more Sesshomaru became curious about her. "She sure does have a lot of energy." He said.

"Yeah, seems like she really loves this job." Inuyasha added.

The trio continued to hold conversation while Kagura sat in silence as she read through her book. She had tuned them all out to the point where calling her name out didn't work. Sesshomaru merely said to ignore her and to avoid further awkwardness, Kagome and Inuyasha obliged. When Rin returned with everyone's food, Sesshomaru has been the one to engage Rin.

"So Rin, do tell. Do you really enjoy your job here?" Sesshomaru just to see what she would say and to see if Kagura would jump in.

Rin gave him a cheeky smile. "Of course I love it here! If I wasn't planning on starting a family one day, I'd probably drop out of school and work here for as long as I could."

Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru from the corner of his eye. 'I know he really not trying to start shit right now?' Inuyasha thought to himself.

"Starting a family huh? Whoever marries you is going to be so lucky."

'Yup...he's trying to start shit.'

"Oh thank you! Well, enjoy your food. I'll be right back to check in on you guys in a little while." She waved with her finger tips before prancing off to tend to her other tables.

When Sesshomaru turned forward in his seat, he was not only met with a blazing stare from his wife but an aggravated look from his brother.

"Are you two feeling under the weather?" He asked, pretending not to know what they were staring at him for.

"Sesshomaru...I am trying to keep my composure but you are seriously testing my patience." Kagura grinded through her teeth.

"I'm glad we're talking again Kagura." Sesshomaru winked at her, smirking.

"Urgh! I'm sick of you!" She slammed her head into her hands.

"Well you are free to go. No one is holding you hostage." Sesshomaru pointed out, taking a sip of his drink.

Kagura didn't respond. Instead, she turned her chair to face away from Sesshomaru as she ate at her steak from an angle he couldn't see her face. By the look on Sesshomaru's face, Kagome couldn't tell if Kagura's actions bothered Sesshomaru or not.

As Kagome took a bite of her shrimp scampi, she felt her phone vibrate from inside her clutch. She pulled it out, keeping the device in her lap under the table. When she unlocked her phone, Inuyasha's name was in the notifications. She clicked on his name, opening up their conversation.

Inuyasha: Sorry about all of this. I had no idea these two were still having issues at home. That's probably why he's been acting weirder than usual.

Kagome kept one hand above the table so that she could still eat while her other finger typed back to him.

Kagome: It's fine. I just hope his wife is okay. She's looked sad this entire night.

Inuyasha: I'll explain everything to you about that some other time but I thought Sesshomaru just really wanted to meet you but he probably was just looking for a reason to be somewhere not alone with her.

After reading his texts, Kagome thought it over. She couldn't understand how anyone could be married and not want to be alone together. She then reminded herself not to judge because she doesn't know their personal situation. Another following vibration brought her attention back down to her phone screen.

Inuyasha: But just because they having a rough night doesn't mean we have to. I dragged you out here to this bullshit...At least you're still cute.

She fought a smile threatening to bloom on her face.

Kagome: Well you don't look too bad yourself-

Kagome was about to press send before her finger paused, and an idea popped into her head. She hesitated on the thought before deciding she had nothing to lose. She was on her period, medication, the night was going smoothly thanks to Inuyasha's brother and she still hadn't heard from Shippo. The least she could do was get some fun out of someone she liked to text.

Kagome: Well you don't look too bad yourself daddy ; )

Inuyasha's heart skipped beat when he got that text from her. He couldn't take another look at his food until he reread her text a billion times over until it was etched into the back of his mind.

Inuyasha: You're on your period playing with fire Kagome?

Kagome: I don't know what you're talking about daddy

Inuyasha: You better thank every heaven there is that you're bleeding right now or I swear I'd drag you off somewhere in this restaurant and put my head under your dress

Kagome giggled at his frustration, putting her phone face down for a moment so that she could take a few more bites out of the fancy platter in front of her. Now that Inuyasha had her attention, she was slightly wishing they had come alone. She enjoyed this side of Inuyasha like no other and hearing him voice these words to her was always better than imagining his voice through text. The two of them texted for the rest of their time there until everyone had finished their orders. Sesshomaru went to use the restroom after dropping a few hundred dollar bills on the table, instructing Inuyasha to use it on the bill if Rin returned before he did.

Almost fifteen minutes had gone by before Sesshomaru returned to the table with his agitated wife. As he fixed himself back in the chair, Rin stopped by to drop off the bill. Sesshomaru handed her the cash and told her to keep the change. She bowed and thanked them as the four of them gathered their belongings and left. No other forms of words were exchanged and both couples returned to their cars. Once Inuyasha had let Kagome into her side of the car, her phone vibrated multiple times. She checked it to see text messages from Shippo and Naraku.

Shippo: so what happened?

Naraku: Miroku said that the only time anything could've happened was the night we threw that party where Kouga and Inuyasha got shit faced wasted. Miroku said Inuyasha was about to sleep with a girl but he ditched her. the girl asked Miroku so when he went to one of the rooms, he saw Sango on top of him but the lights were off. Sango claims she was drunk and didn't know it was him and Inuyasha told Miroku that he was crazy and that Sango was no where near him.

Shippo: Oh shit XD Inuyasha doesn't even remember majority of that night. He was fucked up lol.

Naraku: Yeah, that's why Miroku says he forgave Inuyasha. He said Inuyasha was so drunk he didn't recognize him. He kept calling him Daniel. Miroku did say he doesn't believe Sango wasn't that drunk but he has no proof. Sango fell off Inuyasha when he turned the lights on and he made Sango get out because Inuyasha couldn't walk at that point.

Shippo: damn, sango tried to get in Inuyasha's panties

Naraku: well this was after Inuyasha told her Miroku cheated on her so I wouldn't put it past her

kagome was reading over everything as the texts came through. She had wanted to ask Inuyasha about it but she had no idea how to go about it. Her only wish was to know why Sango was always so offended by the thought of Inuyasha.

"I am so not looking forward to this conversation later because I know Sesshomaru is gonna talk about this." Inuyasha said, trying to start conversation in the quiet car.

Kagome rubbed his shoulder. "It'll be okay."

He stuck his lips out. "No it won't because he's probably gonna be an ass and talk shit about her while she is in the room and then I

'm gonna have to listen to them and it's took much. I thought they'd be good by now but I thought wrong."

Kagome faked a gasp. "Inuyasha, the world's best psychology student thought wrong?"

" I'm a psychology major, not a mind reader. I can pick up on verbal and physical queues but they aren't always right."

"You were right about me."

"Because you were awful at hiding your emotions. That's your fault-ow! What'd you hit me for?" He took one hand off the wheel to rub the side of his arm where Kagome punched him.

She crossed her arms. "Because I'm not awful at hiding my emotions."

"Jesus, it wasn't an insult Kagome, it was a damn observation. Goodness."

She couldn't hold back her laughter at the moment, allowing a few giggles to slip out. She was enjoyed her time with Inuyasha but the thought of Sango still lingered in the back of her mind. She contemplated for a few minutes more before deciding to get a few things off of her mind.

"Hey Inuyasha, I have a question." She said.

"And I don't know if I'll have an answer. What's up?"

"Well, I was talking to Sango earlier and she just seems really on edge whenever I bring you up. I know you told me that you guys don't get along but I was wondering if...something else happened between you two?" She did her best to keep her tone as casual as possible, not wanting to have another car ride of silence after an awkward conversation.

Inuyasha took a moment to process what she said. "I'm going to safely assume you mean did something sexual happen between us. If that's what you're asking, then FUCK NO. I hate that bitch with a passion. I met her as Miroku's sex toy, got to know her as Miroku's girlfriend, and became her enemy long before she was even his ex. The boys tried to pull one over on me when I was drunk before, trying to tell me I took Sango in the room or some shit like that but I'm one-hundred percent sure that drunk me would have seen her and sobered up really quick. I do not like that girl. That answers your question?" He looked over at her, reading the look in her eyes. For only a second, there was a hint of confusion, then unsureness before her face loosened up.

"Well, yeah. That does answer it. Sorry for asking, I just don't know why Sango acts the way she does whenever it comes to you and me. I mean, even when it's not you, she just doesn't like it when...No, I shouldn't say that. She's my cousin after all." Kagome's memories soon brought her back to the morning time when she had met up with Sango and her male acquaintance.

Inuyasha's eyes were focused heavily on the road, following the regular flow of traffic but the rest of his senses were mostly focused on Kagome. Her scent was relaxing to his nose that was always abused daily by the smells of the world, and her voice made his ears perk up at attention whenever she'd speak. Her presence was comforting and he'd give anything to be the same for her.

"Well it's just you and me Kagome. You feel how you feel, regardless if it's justified or not. I'd like it if you'd talk to me about something that's bothering you but you don't have to. I just don't want you to keep those emotions bottled in. They'll come out at the worse of times if you do." He explained to her.

Kagome began rubbing her arm. "I don't know Inuyasha. I was super excited to see Sango when I came her but it's like when I met up with her, it just felt..different? Like Sango wasn't the same Sango I knew. It might be hard to believe but she was extremely conservative when we were growing up. She kept to herself a lot, never left the house in a dress, but had no problem fighting a person or two. She was this kind and gentle, protective person and now, it's almost like she doesn't possess any of that anymore."

"Maybe she wanted to change? Maybe she didn't like who she was and is simply trying to find herself? I'm not defending her, I'm just saying people tend to feel that way once getting up in age."

Kagome nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I get that but it feels like I'm sitting with a stranger when I'm near her. For example, this morning when I was with her, she brought a guy and I had no idea her and this guy used to like each other. Well, he liked her and then when he didn't, she started to like him. It's really complex but she was just giving me all of this attitude because the guy was talking to me and I guess she thought I was flirting with him. I don't know but anytime me and the guy talked, she just seemed agitated. It's like every time I see her, if it's not abut her then she's upset and...I don't think I'd want to be friends with someone like that."

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "I told you she was like this remember?"

Kagome looked out her window. "Yeah, I do but a part of me didn't want to believe it. Her dad did keep her cooped up...and he did pay more attention to Kohaku, her brother. Maybe she just wants to be more in control and she is taking things overboard? I don't know but when I try to talk to her about her attitude, she catches an even bigger attitude and she gets upset and it's a mess. That's why I asked you did anything happen because you are one of her sensitive subjects. Granted, I did provoke her a bit today-"

"You provoked her? My little ass whooper provoked another female?" Inuyasha teased, warranting another slap to the shoulder which he accepted happily.

"I didn't like the way she was talking about you, so I checked her. So me checking her about her about you, that blew her mind so bad and she was so upset but I didn't care. I was the same way when I was dating Kouga. When I'm seeing someone, I don't like disrespect coming their way if it's not justified. Kouga fucked me over so bad, and she doesn't even mention him at all now. She just keeps jumping at every chance to attack your name and its agitating."

Inuyasha's smile radiated from side to side as he listened to his crush's speak about him. It was a trait he absolutely adored and couldn't live without. Inuyasha loved himself a protective female more than anything even though he didn't need it. It was something any girl he'd dated in the past possessed and no matter who wore it best, he could never get enough of it. Hearing how bad his girl wanted to beat another girl's ass over him was enough to get him going every time. It would bring a smile to his face and an erection to his groin every single time.

"Aww, Kagome wants to protect me now?"

She looked at him with wide eyes and furrowed brows. "Don't push it...but yes, I was ready to go at it with her. "

"If you would have hit her, I would have backed you one-hundred percent on that decision. I would've had your bail money ready and everything."

"You'd really bail me out of jail? What if I killed her?" Kagome was joking but Inuyasha didn't catch the memo.

"I'd still bail you out and pay out the cops to keep their mouths shut. You'd be surprised how many cold cases are in fact demon murders with scared witnesses."

She caught onto what he said, quickly piecing the puzzle together. "Wait...have you ever...murdered someone?" She wasn't sure if she wanted to know the answer but curiosity got the better of her.

A wicked smile presented itself to her. "The day you become my girlfriend, I'll tell you. For now, my lips are sealed. Take my advice though, most likely every predator demon in this world has killed at least one person and almost none of them are in jail right now. I can tell you right now that I know for a fact Kouga has killed before. Keep that in mind whenever you're thinking about talking to a demon."

Although his words made her stomach twists in knots, Kagome's mind started to wander. Inuyasha was more than meets the eye and the more he told her, the more she wanted to know. That is until her cramps brought her back to reality, jabbing at her insides forcing her to hold onto her abdomen for dear life the rest of the car ride home.

---

Naraku's hair sat up in a messy ponytail as he rubbed his acne cream into the side of his face. He was preparing for bed before hearing a loud slam emit from the living room followed by howls of laughter. Kouga's laugh was the loudest amongst all of them. Naraku quickly washed off the excess residue from his face, putting his products away in a secure compartment he put under the sink, securing his robe, and exiting the bathroom to make way to his room. As he opened his bedroom door, Kouga's fist came down on the wall beside him not resulting in a flinch from Naraku but rather an agitated look from the loud noise hollowing through his eardrum.

"Fuck face, why didn't you tell me Kagome would be at that party you went to?" Kouga questioned him.

Naraku ignored him, walking into his room and attempting to shut the door but Kouga used his body to block the incoming door. "I'm not gonna ask again bitch?"

Naraku's tired eye rolled slowly as he brought his hands up to pinch his nose and scratch the side of his head. "Kouga, what is this about? You're acting like Kagome and I are best friends. I didn't know she was coming and even if I did, why would I tell you? I don't like you, number one, and even if I did like you, you tried to hurt the girl. I wouldn't put her in harms way just because you wanted to see her. Now, excuse me, I need to sleep." Naraku tried to shut the door again but Kouga intersected it. Naraku didn't feel the need to explain himself but did so to get Kouga out of his face and it wasn't working.

"You're lying! I know people that told me you were with her the whole night!" Kouga yelled at him.

Naraku took a step back to create space between them. He could see above Kouga's shoulders a few strangers being nosy. He was not in the mood for this. "First of all, bitch, If I said I didn't know she was coming, I meant that. No matter how many times you tell me something else, I'm still gonna say I didn't know. Even if I did know, since you don't know how to shut the fuck up and get the fuck out, I'm not saying shit. Now get out of my face before I call Inuyasha to come over here and beat your ass again."

"Nah Kouga! Don't let that faggie talk to you like that!" Some guy yelled from behind Kouga but Naraku quickly interjected.

"Nah Kouga, don't let your hype men in the back get you fucked up tonight, you already know what's good so get out." Naraku was loosing his patience with the matter.

"Fucked up? You sprayed me with mace! That's cheating! You could never see me hand to hand!" Kouga tried to put on a tough act but Naraku wasn't buying this line either.

"Oh really? But when I socked you in the face in the food court, that was with mace too right? Just because you're strong Kouga doesn't mean you know how to fight. Your hits have to connect sweetheart. You're so lame, you put your hands on women to make yourself feel better. Let's be honest, PEOPLE IN THE BACK LISTEN UP TOO." Naraku hollered, getting everyone's attention.

"You Kouga," Naraku started. "Are just mad because YOU couldn't do what Inuyasha is doing and that's fucking Kagome to sleep. Stop getting mad because someone had to step in to do your job better-" Naraku was talking with a snarky smirk on his face which was quickly replaced with a wide open mouth after Kouga shoved him into his nightstand behind him.

Before he could think about what to do next, his hand snatched his battery powered lamp and swung it downwards on the wolf demons' head, shattering the lava lamp glass and liquid into tiny pieces. He didn't even wait for the glass to finish spilling off of Kouga's head as he clawed his hand into the back of Kouga's scalp and dragged him backwards into his room and on the floor. Naraku couldn't think of nothing but punching Kouga's lights out. Once Kouga felt his back collide with the floor, his hand shot up, mushing Naraku in the face so that he could get a clean punch in. Naraku had the same idea as their fists hit each other almost simultaneously. Naraku went for speed over strength this time around, just smashing Kouga's head time and time again in a matter of seconds but as his hand heated up from the consistent hits, Naraku's ponytail was yanked backwards and met with a foot to the face.

He was unsure how many people Kouga had with him, but his head was being rocked left and right making it hard for him to contain his composure as the first kick hit him right in the temple. He put his arms up to block from whatever hits he could. The adrenaline in his system struggled for him to keep consciousness but as he saw Kouga get up from the corner of his eye sight, he knew he had no other choice. It would hurt him later but he had enough of Kouga and his antics. Black tentacles erupted from Naraku's back, shoving everyone off of him and grabbing Kouga by the waist to slam him against the ceiling. Naraku then stood to his feet as the tentacles held everyone down. He put his hand on his sore face, trying to recollect himself. He then heard the front door again, this time Miroku's voice could be heard yelling out that he was home.

"Miroku, get your ass back here!" Naraku yelled, his voice shaking in anger.

Miroku came around the corner to see all of the commotion. He stepped over everyone, entering Naraku's bedroom to see Kouga on the ceiling shouting and cursing along with everyone else.

"What happened?" Miroku asked, already having an idea of what went down.

"It...doesn't...fucking...matter. These bitches want to try to jump me...and I'm over this whole thing. I want to go to sleep and I want them all out of my fucking face. I'm letting you know that this bitch will not have a school to attend this Friday coming. I've tried to avoid him but he doesn't want to be avoided and if you don't want to go down with him Miroku, I advise you to stay out of my way too." Naraku was seething from the inside. He had no previous issues with Kouga but the guy was out of control and no one was willing to do anything about it.

Naraku wouldn't mind getting beat up by Kouga if it meant he could get a few hits in but the minute jumping was involved, his frustration skyrocketed and he had reached his limits. There was no sweet talking Miroku could do this time to save him. Miroku told Naraku he understood. Kouga was then tossed out the room with the rest of his peoples. Miroku exited in silence, knowing there was nothing he could say this time.

Once Naraku's door was closed, he flopped down on his bed face down, plotting his next steps

---

Inuyasha had taken Kagome back to her new dorm since she had school in the morning, and he didn't want her to miss her morning class. When the morning broke through the sky, Kagome's alarm made sure to ring off on time. Just as she'd always do, she would go through her phone for a few minutes to wake her eyes up as best as she could before she had to get up. She had a few texts from a few people. She went through each of them responding as she scrolled.

Inuyasha: Good Morning Beautiful Hope you slept well

She couldn't resist teasing him since he left the option open for her.

Kagome: Good Morning daddy ;)

She then went on to see a text from Shippo

Shippo: Bitch, I got dicked down so I don't know how I'm supposed to be in class this morning. My ass hurt

Kagome: You shouldn've thought about that before you let him inside. duh.

Then aside from her personal chat with Shippo, there were a few messages inside the group chat with Shippo and Naraku included.

Naraku: Just letting y'all know Kouga is getting kicked out of school and going to jail. Don't ask no questions, just know that when Friday come, that bitch is gone for good.

Naraku: That bitch and his dusty rusty crusty friends jumped me in my own bedroom so they all gotta go

Shippo: Molly whop Kouga one time for all of us as the cops are taking him please and thank you

Kagome: I'd feel bad for him but I can't :/ he deserves his karma

Kagome didn't want to get too into texting since she didn't leave a lot of time for herself to get ready. She threw the phone down beside her, getting up from her spot on the bed. As she threw her legs over the mattress, the uncomfortable feeling trickled in between her legs. Grabbing her pills from her cluttered desk, she flew to the bathroom to handle herself before mother nature made an even bigger mess to deal with. Not wanting to deal with the stress on bleeding through her shorts, she threw on a pair of black spandex under a strapless floral sundress that came to her ankles. She made sure to double up on protection in her lower region before heading out into the sun.

Lucky for her, she didn't run into Kikyo on her way out of the building but just her luck had her when she was face to face with Muso upon arriving to class. He gave her a dirty look before shutting the door behind him as he walked inside. Kagome rolled her eyes at the boy, puffing out air and crossing her arms as the she awaited her friend to show up limping. Only five minutes had passed before she noticed his bright orange hair pulled up into a bun. come through the door followed by the rest of his body. Just as Kagome knew he'd be, he was limping to her.

"Good morning bitch, don't just stand there. Come help me...please Kagome." He begged for her mercy as the stiffness in his back made him look like a light pole. Getting her giggles out first, she walked over to him, letting him put his arm around her as they entered class together.

Sango was sitting in the back on her phone. Kagome waved to her, but still kept it moving, not wanting to take too long getting Shippo and herself to their seats. Shippo sat down and stretched his long scrawny legs out in front of him. She noticed he wasn't glammed up this morning. His bun had a few loose hairs, he had on a gray crop top hoodie, some black leggings and a pair of gray fuzzy slippers.

"Kagome, plan my funeral bitch. I'm dying." He exaggerated, throwing his arm over his eyes in despair.

"Shippo shut up. Stop being extra." She told him, looking around as the other students filed their way in at the last possible minute.

"I'm not being extra. Bankotsu not drinking no more for the rest of the year. He fucked me up a wall bitch...a fucking wall!"

"Shhh!" Kagome shushed him as his last comment was more so on the loud side in the quiet classroom.

He took his arm from his eyes, peeking over at her. He sucked his teeth at her. "Don't shush me whore. I don't care who hears me. They not gonna give me no medication to make me shut up."

"Professor lady is here anyway so bequiet." She told him again. He obliged this time, throwing his head down on the desk in the most dramatic fashion possible.

Class went by for the next hour as peacefully as it possibly could. Kagome stayed up and took notes for both her and Shippo for her friend passed out on her after five minutes of the lecture. Once the class was over, everyone had to shake their friends who had fallen asleep sometime through the boring time period, Kagome being one of them. She shook Shippo as hard as she could but the fox demon wouldn't budge. She then smacked the back of his neck, which caused a groan to escape from his lips.

"Shippo, lets go. Class is over." She helped him up out of his seat and up out of the large classroom.

As they exited through the doorway, Shippo put on a pout. "Kagome, I can't do this. I wanna go home."

"You'll be fine Shippo." She patted him on the back, trying to help him some of the way towards the building he needed to go to.

After the two parted ways, Kagome's stomach grumbled and she decided to stop on by the convenience store near the classroom building for a small snack. She had no more classes for the day, so the small walk wouldn't hurt her. She pulled her headphones out of her bag, getting ready to listen to some music but she then felt a tap on her shoulders. She turned to see Sango smiling at her.

"Hey!" She said, giving Sango a tight hug with one arm.

"Hey wassup with Shippo? He seemed like he was in a lot of pain." Sango asked, joining Kagome on her walk.

Kagome waved it off. "Don't worry about him. He'll be okay. He just has to make better life choices. "

Sango looked at Kagome with a weird stare before shrugging it off. "Okay, if you say so. Why don't you ever sit in the back with me?" Sango asked bluntly catching Kagome slightly off guard.

Kagome didn't think much of it since it was something she was used to doing in that class since she had it twice a week with Shippo.

"I mean, it's not on purpose anymore. After we got into it after the party, that's when I just moved away but that's when my friend Shippo came into the picture. So I just sit with him because he's my friend. It's nt like I'm going into class just not wanting to sit next to you. Besides, I think Shippo doesn't really like you that much and I don't want to cause any drama." Kagome explained. She looked over at Sango who didn't appear too satisfied with Kagome's answer.

"So you'd rather stay by him even though you don't even know him like that?" Sango questioned her.

"Well I know him a lot better than I know the new you Sango to be honest. Just because I only known him a few weeks doesn't mean anything. We literally have talked every single day since we met. If I wasn't with Inuyasha or some random, I was with Shippo. People hardly see us not together."

"What do you mean the new me? Are you saying I changed?" She stopped and placed herself in front of Kagome.

Kagome then heaved out a sigh. "Sango, yes. I am. I'm not saying it's your fault, I'm not saying it's a bad thing but it's hard for me to feel close to you when you have grown a lot since the last time we really hung out. I'm not trying to isolate you, but Shippo has proven himself to me more than you have in this same time frame."

"Okay but Kagome, I apologized to you over a week ago and we've texted since then and you've said nothing like this me."

Kagome shrugged. "It's not my place to tell you anything like that when we aren't even that close right now. I know Inuyasha and Shippo way more than I know you-"

"Do you really have to bring him up every single time Kagome?! Like is his dick really that good that he just has you head over heels for him? This was about you and me, and for some reason his name just had to come out of your mouth!" Sango was waving her hands around as she spoke, agitated that once again, the conversation steered towards the one person she could not stand.

Kagome then took a step back from Sango and put her hands up. "Sango, I'm sorry. I like the guy and if that makes your feel some type of way, then we can't be friends. That's that." Kagome bluntly stated. She'd grown exhausted from having these conversations from Sango every single time she saw her.

"Really? So you're choosing a dick over your cousin?" She asked in disbelief.

Kagome shook her head. "No, I'm choosing people that appear to give a fuck about me because clearly you don't fit in that category. Everything isn't always about you Sango and I'm not gonna live my life censoring myself just because you feel some type of way. I really do wish you had all of this fire in you when Kouga had me outside on the ground about to do lord knows what to me. I didn't know Inuyasha that well but you're making me think I should've listened to him about you."

"That's a low blow right there." Sango grinded out.

"Mhm, I know it is but it's the truth. You make me feel that way and I just can't be around you. I'm not asking you to change for me, I'm telling you I'm done talking to you, and I'm done trying. It's exhausting."

"I'll remember this Kagome."

"Well keep remembering it because it won't change. Have a good day Sango." Kagome turned her back and began walking the other way. Her appetite was now gone and she wanted to do was be somewhere else far away from her cousin.

She walked about half a mile around Campus until she came face to face with a non familiar building. She knew the name of said building only because Inuyasha told her this is where his first class was on Monday at 11:00 AM. She sat on a nearby bench outside of the hall hoping she hadn't missed him. She waited for about five minutes, looking around in all directions. When she couldn't see him anywhere, and noticed the time was already eleven on the dot, she gave up and moved her feet in the direction of her home. As she walked, her phone went off from another notification. This time, it was from twitter.

Over the past week and a half, Kagome had been messaging someone she met through twitter that wanted to be friends. He was super friendly at first but his texts then started to turn flirtatious and even sexual at times. She tried to give him a hint that she wasn't interested but the guy wouldn' take the bait. She opened up his direct message to see another sexual text.

' So what's on your body today babe ; ) ' The message read.

She found him super creepy and contemplated blocking him. If she told him to stop, he would but then he'd continue the same actions the next day. She didn't bother responding, hoping that would give him an even bigger hint that just flat out rejecting him. She tried to keep Shippo's advice in her head about Inuyasha the best she could. Although her and Inuyasha were into each other, there still was nothing solidified between them. That means at any given time, their relationship could take a turn for the worst and there was nothing Kagome could do about it. Having that in mind, she wanted to keep her options open at least, even if one of the options was a long distance relationship. The man on the other end of her phone was beginning to make her regret that decision slowly over time as he persisted to keep up the creepiness.

Someone else she'd been texting since the day prior on and off had been Ryura. Him and her immediately had a connection when they talked the day before. It wasn't enough for Kagome to think it was love at first sight but she could see he was a good person to hold a conversation with. She even found out he was both into astrology and astronomy and had watched a few documentaries here and there surrounding her most favorite topics. They hadn't spoken much through text since they have known each other for a small time but Kagome could tell he'd be an interesting person to keep around just in case Inuyasha didn't work out. Now that Sango was out of her life, she didn't feel guilty for doing it either.

Once she arrived back at her dorm, she took out her phone and noticed that Inuyasha still hadn't texted her back. From what she knew, his Mondays were not as hectic as the rest of his week and he was pretty much on top of his homework. She'd been in class before he had to be at class and she still hadn't heard from him. She threw her bag to the floor, rolling around in bed trying to find position to lay in that wouldn't cause her uterus to scream at her. Kagome played around on her phone for the next hour or more, wasting time away on social media and youtube awaiting a text from Inuyasha. After scrolling pasts the same posts on facebook a dozen times, she had grown inpatient with the dog demon so she sent another texts his way just in case.

Kagome: Inuyyaaasshhhhaaaaa. I'm bored. Entertain me.

She pressed send and waited for the magic to happen but there were no sparkles or fireworks happening. Just a bunch of guys hitting her up for the next hour afterwards that she didn't care too much for because it wasn't Inuyasha. Giving up on him, she let her eyelids close, falling asleep almost instantly just to be interrupted by a knock on the door. She groaned in annoyance, getting up from her comfortable. She swung the door open to give whoever it was a piece of her mind just to be bombarded with kisses to the face and the smell of chinese food invading her nostrils. Inuyasha kissed every spot on her face before making his last stop on her lips. She kissed back grumpily as his raid of kisses woke her up more roughly than the knock at the door did. She pulled back from the kiss and lightly shoved him away from her.

"Why didn't you respond to my texts?" She asked him.

"Because my dumbass left my phone home. I went from the gym straight to class today and realized I didn't have it on me then so I just assumed you were upset, bought you some food and my presence before I have to get on later my group project meeting. "

Kagome looked him up and down pretending not to believe him but seeing his face made it hard for her to keep the pressing smile off of her face. She let the fuzzy feeling take over her as she melted inside like a bowl of chocolate to his presence. She hugged him around his neck, trying to look up to his tall figure which was not something she'd grown used to. Being the tallest girl in school made it easy for her to see everything but now that she knew men taller than her, her neck was always hurting.

"Stop being so fucking tall!" She complained, teasingly.

Inuyasha couldn't even respond. He took her mouth in for another kiss, kicking the door closed behind him. He knew telling her he cared wouldn't do much for her so he figured showing it would work a lot better in his favor. By how tightly she hugged him compared to all of the other times, he had a good feeling it was working.

Inuyasha rested his back against the wall behind her bed and Kagome nested herself in his lap, finding the fetal position on him made her uterus scream less. Nonetheless, he still rubbed her tummy whenever he could. He had gotten them a meal they could share, mostly getting the fried rice for Kagome. When she opened the door for him, he could hear her stomach grumbling so he was happy that he got a chance to feed her. Soon after she was fed, she tried to stay up but ending up falling asleep in his lap with her phone in her hand.

Her phone buzzed and Inuyasha grabbed it from her quickly, not wanting her to awake from the sudden vibration. Unfortunately, he couldn't help but notice not only the text from a guy asking her if they could hang out later but a familiar twitter name as well. He opened a text from Ryura and responded to it.

Ryura: Good afternoon cutie, how are ya? In the mood to kick it for dinner today?

Kagome: No, fuck off.

As Inuyasha pressed the send button on that, he could feel Kagome getting on him for that later but it was a risk he he was tilling to take. He didn't know the guy so therefore in his mind, Kagome didn't need to know him either.

'Fuck she think she doing trying to find someone else? Not on my watch. You not gonna come into my life, got me crushing and shit and think you just gonna leave and be perfect for someone else. Hell no.' The half demon thought to himself.

What bothered him the most though were the direct twitter messages from none other than someone he had cut off. He was hoping the messages were from someone with a familiar name but once he opened the profile and saw the picture along with the bio, he knew exactly who it was. He quickly switched back to the conversation and read over it from beginning to end. For the most part, the advances came from him and Kagome was trying to get him to leave her be. His head and his nerves were already tingling from finding Kagome talking to someone else but he couldn't even focus on it due to the fact that he knew the man that was messaging her over twitter and it lit his senses up. He was becoming more furious by the second to the point where he had to leave Kagome be in her room. He couldn't let this one sit. He had to deal with it now.
