Chapter Five

Thank God for breaks during school. People in my school get the entire week off from school thanks to Thanksgiving. Well there's one thing I'm grateful for. Anyway here is chapter five. Because I have time to write it!

Sitting on the roof of his apartment building, Inuyasha was thinking about the whole truck thing that had happened a day or so ago.

'Is there a reason that I saved from getting hit by that truck yesterday? There is no reason is there? I could have just let her get hit, since there was no doubt she would have died form the impact, and I would have gotten paid anyway, If I said I had done it. But why? I saved her and for what reason?' He just didn't get it.

"God, I need to stop thinking so much." He said as he walked to the side of the roof and jumped down to the balcony below.

"I think I'm going to go shoot something. Yes that sounds like a good idea. I have to keep my skill up anyway." He was an assassin right? That meant that he had to be good a shooting a gun.

(((Twenty Minuets later))))

Here he was at a shooting range. Is there a reason that they had it in the city? It was only a mile or so away from the school. Whatever he wasn't here to contemplate things like that, the only reason he was here was to shoot something.

Setting up the target a good two hundred or yards away he came back to his rifle. Taking it out of the case he stared at it for a second.

"Man, it's been awhile. At least…three weeks. I guess that damn school has kept me preoccupied." It had been roughly three weeks since he had started school. Right before he stopped shooting his rifle on a daily or at least every other day basis. Setting up the rifle, putting five bullets into the internal magazine and so on. Lining up the sights he fired. Pulling the bolt back so the shell of the bullet could get ejected and throwing it back into place he fired again. And again and he continued until he was out of rounds.

Walking out to the target he had set up he saw that he had four of the holes connected with each other but the fifth was off. That means that four of the bullets had been in the same spot but off by a little enough but not enough to make it so they don't connect. Almost perfect, keyword being almost.

He cursed. "Dammit, three weeks ago I would have gotten them all in a perfect group. Damn school this is another reason I stopped going in the first place." He had started walking back staring at his target he had brought with him in the process. And that is why he was startled when he got back to where he had his rifle was he ran into someone, making them fall down in the process.

"Oh shit sorry about that". He said finally looking up from his target. And there was Kagome on the ground. Not really thinking why she was here in the first place, he grabbed her hand a pulled her up with no effort.

"Uh is there a reason you are here, kinda staring a my rifle?" He asked her.

"In case you haven't noticed this place in right by the school. I walk by here everyday. I just wanted to come see what you were doing." She answered.

"Okay, sure but why ask what I'm doing here? What do all people who come here do?" He said trademark smirk in place again.

"No need to be snippy about it. Anyway how the hell do you work this thing? I've been staring at it for the last five minuets and I still haven't figured it out."

"It's not really complicated. Want me to show you?" Inuyasha asked.

"Sure I have nothing better to do anyway."

"Okay first you put a bullet in the magazine." He said while he did so. After that bullet had clicked into place he said, "You could put up to five into it but for demonstrative purposes I'll just put one in. Then you push the bolt into place." He did so after it slid into place he handed to rifle to her, who in turn nearly dropped it.

"Finally you just pull the trigger. But make sure to aim down there." He said pointing towards the new target he had put up.

"Okay that is relatively simple." Kagome said while aiming the rifle. She pulled the trigger, and then actually did drop the rifle onto its side on the table she was aiming on. "Ow… you didn't mention the whole kickback part." She said while rubbing her shoulder.

"I kinda expected you to know that. I mean just think about it. You pull the trigger therefore the hammer strikes the bullet setting it off. Now that bullet in traveling at about a thousand feet per second. Common sense usually kicks in about now." He said still with the smirk in place

"Shut up." She said but no more.

"I'll have to teach you how to actually aim that thing next time." Inuyasha said putting the rifle back in its case. "Now c'mon I'll give you a ride to your house."

After getting into his car and pulling out of the parking lot thing at the firing range he asked her "Where do you live exactly?"

"Do you know where the shrine is on top of the hill near the apartment complex? That's where I live."

"Odd, that's literally right next to me. I live in those apartments."

"Apartments? What's with the plural?"

"I own them all. More like I own all of the apartments in the city."

"Really… and just how did you get all of them?"

" I don't actually own them. My brother, Sesshoumaru does. Even though we don't get along like most brothers he still watches out for me." He replied

Pulling up to the front of the apartment building." I live up in the top floor penthouse thingy. If you have nothing better to do come on over and we can do something. Okay? I trust you can walk the ten feet required to get to your house?

"Yeah, I think I'll manage. Thanks for the ride. I might hold you to the offer for something to do soon. I've had literally nothing to do for the past two weeks."

Come over whenever you want." He said getting out of the car. "I'll see you around." Kagome said walking away. "Yeah see you." Inuyasha replied walking in the other direction. He found himself smiling again as he did so. He had to stop that. This woman was really getting to him.

A/N and there is chapter five. I felt like throwing in the fact that Inuyasha was a damn good shot with a rifle. That and I like guns… Anyway please review I still want to know what you people think.
