Besides if Inuyasha were mine, I wouldn't be drooling over him would I? Wait – yes I would.

¤ Chapter Two ¤

"Kagome what's wrong?" Sango looked at her friend who had tightly grasped her wrist and was looking towards the boys and the bucking bull.

Before her eyes was the most beautiful thing she had ever witnessed in her whole entire life, and she was a photographer who needed her camera. Kagome dashed back up to the house and up the stairs at Sango's calling and as quickly as possible found her camera and ran back down the stairs. When she ran back outside Sango was waiting with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"Kagome what's going on?" Sango followed her as she went back to the fence where the boys were riding some bucking bulls.

"Just look Sango." She started to shoot pictures. Right in front of her was the most incredible sight she had ever seen. It was a white haired, tan, and beautiful man, different from the other man with white hair, and he was riding a big black bull. But the sun was setting in the background and his white hair gleamed in the setting rays. His muscles rippled and showed strength and so much masculinity that it almost left Kagome drooling. It was if the man had no thought in the world what so ever but staying on that bull, as his pony tailed hair whipped about. His face was set with deep concentration. She shot her camera and then just watched. Although it seemed like an eternity it was over quickly as the man shot from the bulls back and ran to the fence. The other's who were watching were wolf whistling to him as he hopped over the fence, and when he settled they handed him his hat back.

Just beside her she heard Sango chuckle.

"What?" She was still fixated with the man who was currently brushing off his hat.

"You have the hots for Inuyasha." Sango smiled when Kagome's head whipped around.

"I… don't, it's just it was so beautiful and I'm… I'm a photographer! And and I do intense studies!" Kagome was blushing now as she looked down at her camera.

"Uh huh… we could go meet them now you know." Kagome looked back over to where the boys were standing and almost gasped. Inuyasha was staring at her with honey golden eyes. She blushed and looked away from the piercing gaze.

.·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·.

Inuyasha watched the girl that had a been a moment ago looking at him, or studying him intensely. She was cute. It looked as if she were carrying a camera.

Kouga, Inuyasha, and Bankotsu were all sitting on the fence with their hats on and no shirts. Jackotsu was closing the bull back to the main pen and then stood by Kouga chewing on a straw.

"Hey who's that babe over there?" Kouga piped up from behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha sighed with annoyance at this. Kouga was always loud, raunchy, and obnoxious to him.

"That's my sister's friend, Kagome." Kohaku said sitting next to him. They were sitting on the outer fence wall, giving the bull a rest. "She's staying with us for the summer." But he really wasn't interested in this conversation like the other 4.

"Why's she staying so long." Kouga watched as the two women were starting to walk towards them.

"Dunno. Something about some guy that beat her or something." Kohaku got off the fence and ran towards the two. Inuyasha, Kouga, Bankotsu, and Jackotsu all looked up with that last sentence and watched as Kohaku ran up to Kagome and hugged her, Kagome wince, Sango scold, and then they proceeded once again towards the guys.

"Hmm I think she will be a nice addition to the ranch." Kouga grinned to himself.

"More like a nice addition to your collection." Inuyasha said. :Oh boy here we go:

"What did you say dog breath!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes at Kouga.

"Play nice boys here comes our guest. Hmm and she's sooo cute too!" Jackotsu giggled clapping his hands together.

"Sango what beauty do you bring to us?" Kouga hopped off the wooden fence towards Kagome.

"This my friends is Kagome Higurashi. She will be staying with us for a while. I hope to god that you will all be civil to her and treat her nicely… otherwise I'll give your balls to Kaede to cook for dinner." Kagome and the guys sweat dropped at that comment. "Kagome, this over here is Jackotsu, Bankotsu, Kouga, and Inuyasha. " Bankotsu and Jackotsu both nodded their heads in hello while Kouga got on his knee and grabbed her hand.

"You, my girl, are one beautiful babe. Are you perhaps single?" Sango glared and smacked his head with her glove.

"OW Sango! What the heck was that for?" Kouga whined and stood back up still close to Kagome who was blushing a deep shade of pink.

"Hmmmmm speaking of tasty morsals, what do Kaede and Hojo have cooking for us on this eve?" Jackotsu brought up on of his favorite topics and they talked about that for a few moments. But while they discussed food Inuyasha still sat on the fence looking over Kagome.

She was adorable he finally decided, but he was sure that there was something she was afraid of. She walked hesitantly and favored one of her sides a bit. She had a cut near her neck that was slowly healing but she tried to cover it with her black long hair. Kagome was wearing jeans and a shirt with her hair down, and sandals. Inuyasha smirked to himself.

Kagome watched out of the corner of her eye as the white haired Inuyasha stared at her. She was getting a bit unnerved between this handsome man staring at her, and this other man almost proposing to her. She felt completely… torn? Almost being ripped down the center. Kagome finally looked up at Inuyasha as Jackotsu talked about pork, and was stunned to see that he had golden eyes too. It seemed like he and his brother looked a lot alike but were completely different. But these golden eyes were also staring right into hers.

Inuyasha and Kagome stared at each other eye to eye. Inuyasha was surprised that she didn't flinch or look away from his intense stare. He got off the fence and walked up to Kagome to everyone else's surprise, especially Sango who raised her eyebrow at him.

Kagome looked surprised that he stopped in front of her. She looked up at Inuyasha who didn't smile at all but in seriousness took her hand. "It was a pleasure Ms. Higurashi." He then walked away leaving Kagome breathing a bit thicker than usual.

Kagome looked after Inuyasha, bright red, and heard Kouga swear under his breathe in the background. She watched as Inuyasha disappeared into the barn with a little doggie following him. Meanwhile everyone else, except Sango, was looking at Jackotsu who was still ranting about the meal that he was looking forward to that evening.

Bankotsu ignored his companions and spoke to Kagome, "Don't mind him sweetie, Inuyasha is a shit brick. He's hard as stone and full of shit." Kagome looked strangely at Bankotsu as he said this and then Jackotsu sighed. "Well hope you like it here while you are here. If you need anything just buzz us in the 'hands' part of the house. Right now we're gonna go clean up for dinner and we'll see you at the table." Bankotsu tried to pull Kouga away as he tried to make a dramatic and sweeping bow to Kagome for an exit… trying to beat Inuyasha in the charming game.

Kagome and Sango started back towards the house as Kohaku went towards the barn to feed the dogs. Sango told Kagome a bit about the ways things worked around the ranch and hoping that Kagome would get the nerve to start riding horses and helping out around the place while she stayed.

.·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·.

After meeting Kaede, the housekeeper, and Hojo, the cook, Kagome finally did get to unpack her suitcase. She had brought most of everything she had in her old apartment. She had a few picture frames of her family and one of her and Sango when they were in high school together. She also had her photographer's portfolio filled with some of the most wonderful images anyone has ever seen. She put most of her clothes in a draw and some of her shoes in the closet.

The room wasn't very large but it was really nice. It had a queen sized bed and a desk with a chair. There was a large sized mirror on one of the walls and then a door which led to the bathroom. The bed was placed under the biggest window she had ever seen. Whoever designed the room had the view in mind, for when you were on the bed even laying down you could see the scenery through the mirror lying across from you. Kagome could see for miles from her window on the second floor.

The bed was big and comfy; it had a blue feather comforter and matching pillows. The closet wasn't a deep one but a long one, it lined the wall to the right of the bed. There was a fan on the ceiling, along with a few small lights.

In the midst of her thinking Kagome heard the dinner bell ringing down bellow her. She closed the door to her new room, she then headed downstairs to eat with the rest of the ranch hands.

When Kagome got down the stairs most of everyone was there. But the two white haired brothers weren't. She sat down in one of the open seats next to Bankotsu and Kohaku. Sango and Miroku were across from her, and Jackotsu, Myouga, Kaede, and Hojo were on either sides. Kaede had set the table and Hojo had served the food.

"Are we going to start without Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked Sango as Sango stood up and leaned over to get the mashed potatoes.

"Inuyasha never eats with us, he's always doing something else. Sesshoumaru on the other hand is out having dinner with Rin. They're probably having a picnic somewhere by the lake." But then as she finished Sango felt something rub against her rump. Everyone went silent as Sango dumped her mashed potatoes (mind you very hot steaming potatoes) right on miroku's head. Sango sighed and then took her plate and walked through the door and into the kitchen to eat alone.

"Miroku!" All the hands turned on him as he quickly tried to wipe off the hot potatoes.

"I can't help it!" He said sheepishly and looked at Kagome who laughed at him. For the rest of the meal the hands got to know Kagome a bit better, but no one noticed the hasty looks that Miroku kept giving towards the kitchen door.

.·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·. .·¤¤·..·¤¤·.

After the meal was over all the hands retired to the lounge area in the other room. Miroku saw Kagome fill up another plate and walk out the door towards the barn. While Kaede and Hojo finished cleaning the plates and putting leftovers into containers he walked into the kitchen hoping to find Sango there.

Hey guys, thanks so much for reviewing, I know that this chapter probably wasn't worth the wait as much, but I promise that in the next chapter you will see more interaction between Sesshoumaru and Rin, Sango and Miroku, and Kagome and Inuyasha.
