Summary Kaille agrees to go with Inuyasha

Inuyasha stared at Kaille Howard. So different from Kikyou and Kagome. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. No comparing. Kagome compared herself to Kikyou You can't even think it. Kagome is stands before you.

Even if she smells like Kikyou and Kagome.,she is not them. Someone said that the dead cannot come back to life. The reincarnated person is not Kikyou or Kagome but a completely different person.

Kagome was right in a way. Even though Kagome was Kagome and not Kikyou , I would not have been so attracted to her or want to help her so much if she was not similar to Kikyou She was not a replacement for Kikyou, but she was damn close simulacrum

Kaille glared at the man with the cat ears " Why are you staring at me? I asked you What the hell are you doing on my couch?"

Inuyasha was roused from his reverie and smiled Nice of Kaille to remind him that she was not Kikyou or Kagome They would never have used that kind of language " I am the man who brought you home from the bar"

Kaille tried to emember "You . You are bastard that carried me out of the bar and tied me to your motorcycle. Why are you are here sitting on my couch"

Inuyasha thought about the question and answered truthfully "I don't know"

"You don't know? How could you not know? Do you always sleep on strange grils couches you pervert? I won't thank you for taking me home. You were ordered to do that by your boss. No points for obeying orders."

Inuyasha laughed So Kikyou like in not thanking him. Maybe there was hope for he needed to convince Kaille to let him stay with her. It was no coincidence that they met again. If he squinted he could see the red string of fate wrapped around her finger drawing him in. He could not just let he walk away.

He threw a piece of paper at her. Kaille caught it and opened up the crumpled paper.. There in her hand was a three day notice to quit and vacate for failure to pay rent. The amount listed was ungodly . The date was more than thirty days ago. How could she have missed this notice?

"That notice was on your door when I brought you home last night? How long has it been since you came home? I thought maybe you might need some help moving I felt sort of guilty since I was the bouncer at the bar you were thrown out of I can get you a room there if you want"

Kaille was suspicious "Why would you help me? You do not even know me. For all I know you are a pervert who just wants to rape me"

Inuyasha sputtered " If I wanted to do that I could have done that last night Instead I am offering you a place to stay. I still have to ask my boss , but he has plenty of room. You could just put a futon down anywhere"

"Futon? asked Kaille

Inuyasha looked at her. Kaille was obviously not Kikyou or Kagome. She had red hair and green eyes. Glasses covered those eyes A Black T Shirt with the letters WTF written in white Skin tight jeans that showed off her figure. No this was not the fifteen year old who fell down the well. She might be nineteen but she was not the miko that Kikyou was. What she had in common with Kagome and Kikyou was attitude

"Yeh Futon you know those Japanese bedrolls"

Kaille fired back "Do I look Japanese?"

Inuyasha laughed "That's my offer A futon an all the ramen you can eat or you can just sit here and wat to be evicted"
Kaille was aghast " I don't know you. You appear out of nowhere and make me a ridiculous offer. Why should I trust you?'

Inuyasha Kehhed " Because "

Kaille smiled She could not deny that logic. Her choices were limited Her time was up. Even in California she would be evicted. She had no money for an apartment No money for food. She was too proud to beg. Deciding to make a leap of faith she jumped for the last lifeboat "yes"

The chorus in her head that had been pushing her toward him all this time let out a cheer. Mission accomplished. We can be with Inuyasha again. Kaille's anger rose the voices were suddenly so accommodating it scared her "Shiut the fuck Up"

Inuyasha looked up startled kaille looked away embarrassed "Never mind When did want to help me move?"

Inuyasha looked at his watch His shift did not start for eight hours time enough to move her across town. A yellow backpack hit him in the head. He looked up to see Kaille grinning.

"I am packed already slowpoke. Lets get a move on."

Inuyasha was surprised He anticipated many hours of packing before she was ready. He still had to tell the owner that Kaille was moving in. While he did not anticipate a problem it did not hurt to give teh boss a heads up before suddenly being faced with Kaille

He had spent most of the night thinking of Kikyou and Kagome. Having his first love die in his arms. He and Kagome had spent a lifetime together raising a family So many memories. It took lots of memory in his smart phone to keep track of them.

Sometimes he regretted leaving Japan, but after Souta died there was no one left for him there The lines of descent were stretched too far. Most of them were human and lived normal human lives. No need to be upset by their spiritual ancestor.

Better to start over with someone who would never leave him. Watching Kagome and Kikyou had been too painful. He was not sure he could go through that again, but the red string of fate had drawn he and Kaille together just like every other time
