Chapter 4: The deal

Soon Kagome found herself back at the dorms and sat down on the could she do? How could she get her revenge on koga if she kept paying attention to Inuyasha, he had done nothing but shown her kindness ever since she entered this school. She had originally thought of using him to get to Koga, but she couldn't do that, no matter what she wouldn't use him even if she really wanted to get her revenge on Koga, she didn't want to be a bitch about it. She then heard her phone ring and instantly grinned as she stood up and ran to her phone.

She saw the number as sugar daddy and laughed as she quickly answered. "Jakotsu!" Kagome said happily, not wanting to break from her manly voice, in case Inuyasha walks in.

"Hey sugar! How's it going at your new school sugar?"

Kagome giggled "First of all what the hell is with sugar daddy?"

Jakotsue chuckled "It has a nice tone to it no?"

Kagome smiled "Yeah, it sure does"

Jakotsu then spoke "Anyway sugar how are you doing, one day in already how was it?"

Kagome smiled "Well I met my room-mate, he's sweet and very caring, he helped me move in and showed me around, he's practically given me a tour around the school and is really easy to talk too. He isn't snobby, or arrogant, so I have a feeling I won't have to worry too much about him."

"That's the spirit girl, your voice is amazing sugar I'm so proud of you...HEY LET ME TALK TO HER!" Kagome could hear Jakotsu laugh nervously as Sango's voice appeared. Kagome smiled as she heard her voice on the phone.

"Kagome! Dear god Kagome how are you, are you okay? Have you seen Kohaku? Did you fit in well? Are there any bullies? If there are I'll beat em up."

Kagome giggled "Sango you need to calm down I'm fine, I moved in alright and everything's good."

Sango sighed "Did you meet Koga?"

Kagome bit her bottom lip as she held the hem of her shirt tightly "Y-Yeah...yeah I met him"

Sango sighed again "I can practically hear you wanting to cry, I knew this was a bad idea!"

Kagome shook her head "No Sango, I'm okay I just need to get used to it that's all. But worst thing is that I'm sharing a room with his best friend. That same friend he's kept talking to me about. Inuyasha"

Sango gasped "Oh wow...well that wasn't what we expected. Oh hun I miss you...ME TOO" Jakotsu screamed "Yeah yeah him too" Sango said her voice hinted with laughter.

Kagome laughed as she walked over to the bathroom and closed the door. "Oh Sango I miss you too"


Inuyasha entered the apartment, sweaty and ready to have a shower. "Man that work out was refreshing" He downed his bottle of water and as he was about to open the bathroom door he heard Kazuki's voice.

"Oh Sango I miss you too...I know I miss doing that too...Sango don't do that without me!" Inuyasha's eyes widened a little before smirking then pressed his ear against the door again "Okay I'll speak to you tomorrow...yes I saw Kohaku haven't spoken to him though...I love you too Sango..." Inuyasha was grinning now.

'Well what do you know'


"Okay make sure you talk to him speak to you tomorrow Kagome love you"

"I love you too Sango"

Soon Jakotsu was back on the line "Hey sugar speak later okay, you can always text me whenever you want, and hope you can visit us once your settled"

Kagome nodded "Off course I'll visit"

"Okay have fun, but not too much fun" Jakotsu said teasingly.

Kagome chuckled "Oh you, see you later" And with that Kagome ended the call. She put her phone in her pocket, and when she opened the door she saw a grinning Inuyasha on the other side. Kagome was surprised to say the least "I-Inuyasha? U-Um what are you d-doing here so early?" Kagome asked confused, it wasn't six already was it.

Inuyasha shook his head "It's six thiry right now Kazuki" Inuyasha however didn't lose his grin which made Kagome feel weird.

Kagome decided to speak "W-Well I'm going to um finish unpacking...yeah" Kagome ran to her bags.

She then heard him speak "Hey no need to get shy man, who's Sango?"

Kagome froze 'shit he must have heard the conversation!' "U-Um S-Sango is...my uh..."

"Come on man no need to be shy, I know who she is" Kagome froze 'he does? Inuyasha smiled as he placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder. "She's your girlfriend right?"

Kagome felt like laughing at that moment 'G-Girlfriend?...' Kagome internally smiled 'Yes that's it!' "Yeah she's my girlfriend...how'd you know anyway?"

Inuyasha laughed and shrugged off his towel that was around his neck and put his bag down "You said I love you for one, and Sango is a girl's name, so I instantly had the suspicion that she was your girlfriend. Man why didn't you tell me, I'd like to know more about my room-mate" Inuyasha said smiling.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders "You never asked"

Inuyasha chuckled lightly "True. Anyways gonna have a shower, then meeting the guys to grab some food, wanna join?"

Kagome shrugged "I might as well get to know the area"

Inuyasha smiled "Cool" before heading for his shower. Kagome sighed as she sat down on her bed and rubbed her face 'Man what a day' Kagome sighed loudly as she took out her phone and saw a photo of her and Sango on the front page. 'Jakotsu must have done that' Kagome laid down as she kept looking at the photo, and smiled before closing her eyes and frowning a little. 'Come on Kagome, it's only been the first day and plus you've been treated very nicely' Kagome then heard the door open and could already see most of the steam leaving the bathroom.

Inuyasha had his hair up in a high ponytail, whilst he had a towel wrapped around his waist, she could notice the drops of water that slid down his chiselled chest and fell into the lines of his toned abs. She froze 'oh god'. Why is it she kept seeing him in towels. She then thought of a plan to distract herself and come up with the first thing that popped into my head.

"U-Um, do you usually shower three times a day?" 'Lame Kagome...just...lame'

Inuyasha was confused at the question but just shrugged "Not always, just today really, this morning was because I ran for a bit, but otherwise only like twice. Anyway Koga and Miroku along with a couple of other people I'll introduce you to them, we are meeting in half hour. You ready?"

Kagome nodded she was dressed in the same outfit she had on before. "Just waiting for you"

Kagome saw Inuyasha nod and thankfully he was putting his boxers underneath his towel before pulling the towel away. She sat on the bed and fiddled with her phone, whilst Inuyasha was in the bathroom doing whatever guys did. Soon he came out with black Jean trousers, a red muscle shirt with a black button down shirt fully opened, his hair out and free. Kagome couldn't help but think about how hot and sexy he was right now. 'No stop it!'

Inuyasha grabbed his phone, wallet and keys "Make sure you got everything, let's go shorty" he said smirking.

Kagome frowned "Really is that my nick name now"

Inuyasha nodded "It's better than Miroku's. His is lecher, or pervert whichever one you prefer"

Kagome was confused, she walked out of the apartment with Inuyasha locking the door. "Why is he named that?"

Inuyasha chuckled "He practically bangs any woman he can find which is above number 7 on the hot scale as he says. He doesn't stop grabbing their behinds, and its even worse when he's drunk"

Kagome scrunched her nose 'Great Miroku, the kind friend I met...is actually a pervert, and a womaniser. Great, can't this world get any better' Kagome looked around "Um so where are we going?"

"Well we're meeting Koga at the car park and taking his car then we'll head to wherever they want, we have to be back by 9:00 and it's only 6:40, so we've got some time"

Kagome nodded and soon followed Inuyasha into a car park she stopped abruptly as she saw Koga's truck. Kagome bit her lip as her hands fisted by her sides. That very same truck where he would pick her up from school. Where they made out countless of times...where they had almost gone as far as to do...Kagome wanted to cry, the truck was the last place she wanted to be. But she had to swallow her pain and try to act as if she was new to all this.

Inuyasha noticed how Kazuki paused and looked at him "Hey Kazuki come on what'ya doing"

Kagome shook her head out of her daze "Sorry spaced out" then she started to walk again and when they were so close to the truck, she saw Koga jump out and wave. Kagome placed a smile on her face and tried to sustain her tears.

"There ya guys are, come on Miroku and the others are waiting at the cafeteria"

Inuyasha smiled and did some sort of handshake with him "Sorry man, come on Kazuki hop in"

Kagome nodded and when she got in she was near the door whilst Inuyasha was in the middle, and Koga was driving. "So who else is there, Miroku and?"

Koga nodded "Miro, Shippo and his girlfriend Kirara" Inuyasha nodded and turned to Kazuki and saw how he was just looking outside the window his head tilted back to rest on the chair. For some reason Inuyasha couldn't stop thinking about just how short and thin he was. He acted more boyish than manly, and his skin looked flawless and he had hardly no muscles. He must be more brains than body. Inuyasha smirked 'He's a good kid though'

Kagome couldn't help but have memories of her and Koga in here. She felt her heart ache and nearly break as she tried so hard not to look at him. Kagome then felt the car stop and noticed they were outside some cafeteria and jumped out of the truck followed by Inuyasha. Koga went beside her and patted his shoulder "You okay man, you were really quiet in there"

Kagome nodded and smiled "Thanks Koga"

Koga smiled back and nodded then went to walk forward. Kagome sighed as she saw him walk away, Kagome put her head down as she fisted her hand tightly. However she felt another hand touch her shoulder and turned to see Inuyasha smiling down at her "Let's get going shorty"

Kagome relaxed, and she felt her pain slowly fade away. She nodded and soon they were both walking over to the other's. Once Kagome neared the cafeteria she visibly noticed Miroku and another boy with his arm wrapped around a girl. They waved over as soon as they saw Inuyasha "Inuyasha over here man your taking forever"

Inuyash achuckled "Sorry Shippo" Inuyasha did yet another hand shake with the boy called Shippo and turned towards Kagome. "Guys this is Kazuki, he's transeferred today and my new room-mate. Kazuki this guy here is Shippo"

Kagome smiled "Hey"

Shippo smiled and nodded back "Hey"

"You already know Miroku"

Miroku nodded "Hello again" Kagome smiled back warily.

"This is Shippo's girlfriend Kirara"

Kirara smiled sweetly at Kagome and shook her hand "Hello nice to meet you"

Kagome smiled back and shook her hand "Nice to meet you too"

Shippo pulled Kirara back a little. And Kagome smiled a little 'Aw! he's protective of her!, that's so cute!...oh...right he's protecting her from me' Kagome sighed.

Inuyasha nodded "Well enough of this let's go in I'm starving"

Everybody nodded and walked in. Kagome looked around. It was cute and it didn't look to crowded either, she saw groups of people here and there, mostly all teenagers and students. I followed everybody as Shippo was conversing with Kirara, Miroku and Inuyash and Koga were all talking about something to do with basketball. I sighed, and I was just the odd one out. Soon we all found a table and the order was shippo his girlfriend Kagome, Miroku, Koga, Inuyasha.

Kagome sighed she had to get stuck with the so called womaniser, and the girlfriend of a very overprotective boyfriend. Kagome looked over at Koga and saw him laughing with Inuyasha about basketball. She sighed and took out her phone as she played Tetris. Soon a waitress came over and as Inuyasha told her Miroku instantly leaned over the table and went to cup her backside.

"Well you sure a pretty one eh?" Said Miroku as he flirted with the waitress.

The waitress merely giggled "What can I get for you all"

"You tonight in my bed please" Miroku said. Kagome couldn't help but laugh, and Inuyasha along with Koga bonked him in the head.

"Seriously you never learn do you lecher" Said Shippo shaking his head.

Shippo and Kirara ordered a large coke with a burger, Inuyasha and Koga ordered an extra-large coke with a double burger and large chips. Kagome just ordered a glass of water and a small portion of chips. She didn't feel like eating, after everything that happened today with meeting Koga, Inuyasha her room-mate, and just remembering the past made her more tired than hungry.

Inuyasha was a little worried what Kazuki ordered wasn't food, it was just a snack. Inuyasha then saw how he just looked down at his phone with a tired look on his face. Inuyasha for some reason had the urge to force feed him, he was skinny enough as it was, even though Inuyasha met him for only a day, he proclaimed Kazuki to be his friend, and he protected his friends.

Miroku sighed and frowned in his chair "You guys are mean"

"Oh Miroku we're not you just have to understand girls don't like being touched and ordered like that all the time. Not all girls are the same" Said Kirara.

"Amen to that" Said Shippo.

Kagome put her phone away and sighed then their food arrived and she slowly ate her chips as every one was in a conversation which she felt she couldn't intervene in.

"So how is your basketball training going guys?" Ask Shippo.

Inuyasha was the first to answer "It's going great, coach says he's going to sign us up this week-end and the first round for the championships is in three months so in December" Inuyasha said stuffing a bite of burger into his mouth.

"In December wow that's sooner than when last years started" Kirara said taking a small bit of her own.

Koga nodded "Yeah but we'll manage" he said smirking drinking some coke.

Kirara looked at Kagome and smiled "Kazuki why don't you say anything?"

Inuyasha looked at him as he stopped what he was eating.

Kagome noticed the attention and shook her head "I'm just tired. It's my first day here and it's just a lot to take in"

Kirara nodded "Oh okay, that's understandable"

Soon the conversations went from basketball to how their school is now and comparing it to last year, to how perverted Miroku is, and the dreaded question came up that Kagome never wanted to hear, and it was from Inuyasha.

"So Koga how is your girlfriend? What was her name...Ka...Kag something?" Inuyasha took another bite out of his burger, and Kagome instantly froze as she secretly glared at him.

Koga sighed "Kagome"

Kagome instinctively put her head up and said "Yes?"

Everyone looked at her and she bit her tongue 'FUCK! FUCK! FUCK FUCKETY FUCK!'

Inuyasha and Koga looked at her quizzically "You know Kagome?" Koga asked.

Kagome just nodded "Y-Yeah she goes to Kurin and was in the same year as me"

Koga nodded and everybody forgot about before "I thought you'd know her. We aren't together any more. It wasn't as it used to be so I broke it up with her"

Inuyasha nodded "Sorry to hear that man, but I'm sure everything will be fine" Inuyasha said feeling sorry for his friend. He had seen a glimpse of his girlfriend once before, and if memory served him right she was hot. But he couldn't really say since he hardly remembered how she looked like. Inuyasha turned to Kazuki and saw how he had slight pain in his eyes as he looked at Koga. Inuyasha shook his head and didn't think too much into it.

Miroku was looking around the cafeteria for any signs of hot babes, and saw someone walk into the café and his eyes widened. "Yo man look who just walked in"

Inuyasha and everybody else turned around including Kagome and they all were shocked most of all Kagome "Kikyo?"

Koga looked at her "You know her?"

"Yeah she goes to Kurin high" Kagome answered.

Miroku sighed "Yeah well you might know her, but so does Inuyasha"

Inuyasha growled as his hands tightened on the table "Why the fuck did that bitch have to show up of all days"

Kagome was confused "You know her too?"

Inuyasha sighed "She's the ex I told you about before"

Kagome was shocked. Kikyo dated Inuyasha! Wow well there definitely is something you learn every day. "But, I thought she was going out with Naraku?" Kagome stated.

Shippo drank his coke "She was, at the same time she was dating Yasha"

Kagome was even more shocked. She then heard annoying heels and knew she was coming this way. "Why look who it is" Kikyo's annoying voice sounded as her so-called 'friends' were standing behind her.

Inuyasha growled "What do you want?" Inuyasha said his voice laced with anger, that it even scared Kagome.

Kikyo pouted "Now now Inu-baby that is no way to talk to your girlfriend"

"Ex girlfriend if you might have forgotten" Stated Kirara.

Kikyo looked at her and with her hand she raised it in a shooing motion, causing Shippo to growl protectively "And who are you to talk, you weren't part of this relationship were you"

Inuyasha growled "No she wasn't, but I was and don't you dare insult my friends, because you are my ex girlfriend if I remember correctly, now go away before I get seriously mad"

Kikyo sighed and shook her head as she placed both her hands on his shoulders "Oh Inu-baby stop being in denial. We both know that I can't limit myself to one person"

Inuyasha shoved her hands away "And I told you I don't share"

Kikyo sighed again and leaned forward as her face was inches away from his own. Kagome for some reason felt a little feeling in her stomach that wanted to push that bitch away from her room-mate, but why all of a sudden. However Inuyasha pushed her away again "Get away from me! I am sick and tired of you Kikyo, I told you that I hate you and after what you did to me so go away, I don't want to see your face any more"

Kikyo 'humphed' "You don't know what you're missing out on"

Inuyasha snorted "Off course I do, I'm missing out on a school year of misery with sloppy seconds" Inuyasha then drank down his coke and carried on eating.

Kikyo gasped "How dare you Inu, you know you still love me and that will never change"

Miroku stood up "Just leave Kikyo, no one wants you here"

Kikyo rolled her eyes and then spotted Kazuki. Kikyo studied the strange boy for a moment before smirking and leaning forward showing her cleavage "And who might you be hot stuff?"

Kagome snorted and didn't say anything

"Oh the silent type eh. Haven't I seen you around here before?" Kikyo said her voice filled with suggestiveness.

Kagome shrugged "I went to Kurin before Fukuoka so maybe that's where you met me"

Kikyo then smiled and winked at him, however Inuyasha pulled Kikyo away "Damnit your ruining the food, get out of here I told you I never wanted to see you again, and your voice is irritating me so get out before I makes a scene and we're all kicked out" Inuyasha was furious, but secretly he was angrier at the fact that Kikyo was secretly making fun of his new room-mate.

Kikyo stepped back and smirked "This isn't over Inu-baby, I will have you back" then she looked at Kazuki and winked once before her and her 'friends' walked away.

Inuyasha sat back down and sighed heavily rubbing his face. Koga rubbed his shoulder "Yo man it's okay, do you want to go and sleep it off"

Inuyasha nodded and everybody got up from the table and ready to leave.

Once outside Kagome shook hands with Shippo and smiling "Nice to meet you Shippo, you too Kirara"

Shippo studied Kazuki once before smirking and nodding his head "You too" he knew that Kazuki wouldn't touch Kirara, so he decided he was a good guy. Kirara smiled and bowed "Pleasure to meet you too Kazuki hope to see you an everybody else soon" And with that Shippo and Kirara jumped into their own car and they left with a wave of the hand.

Kagome turned to see the others debating. "So who's gonna sit in the front?"

Kagome didn't want to be inside the truck for fear of memories "I'll sit in the back. It's not that cold so I'll be fine, you three can go in the front"

Inuyasha shook his head "I'll go to the back with you, Koga and Miro can go at the front. Plus I love outside so it won't bother me"

Kagome nodded and soon they all walked over to the truck, Kagome and Inuyasha hopped in the back whilst Koga and Miroku seated themselves in the front. Koga started driving and Kagome felt the awkward silence between her and Inuyasha. Inuyasha decided to break it first "So how did you find your first day Kazuki?"

Kagome looked up and smiled "I found it okay, other than gym, but I'm sure I'll get used to it"

Inuyasha nodded. He licked his lips as he came with an idea. He turned to Kazuki and smirked "How about I train you?"

Kagome was confused "What do you mean?"

Inuyasha shrugged "Early in the mornings we can go to the gym or the field and I'll train ya, you'll be stronger and fitter and won't tire out as easily during gym. What do you say shorty?" Inuyasha said smiling as he took out his hand for him to shake it.

Kagome was startled at the suggestion. Was he really planning on taking out his free time in the morning to help train her. Kagome couldn't help but smile a little. She turned to see him looking at her waiting for a response, with his hand still out.

Kagome sneered "You ain't gonna carry on calling me shorty will you?"

Inuyasha chuckled as his hand fell to his sides "I'm sorry your stuck with that name I'm afraid. Now yes or no?"

Kagome gave a smug look as she nodded and took out her hand for him to shake "I'll prove to you I'll succeed. And when I do you have to stop calling me shorty"

Inuyasha sighed but smiled nevertheless "Alright alright, if I see a lot of improvement from you in gym then I'll stop calling you shorty"

Kagome nodded "You got yourself a deal"


Okay that's chapter 4! A lot has gone on in this chapter, however to ease peoples minds, there will not, and never will be yaoi in this. Obviously Inuyasha will probably question why he feels warm and fuzzy around Kazuki (Kagome) however this is definitely a kag/inu, so not to worry everybody. ^.^
