Recap
"No, she got it from her boyfriend Sesshomaru, that's how he describes his relationship with his brother and he really talks like that so I hope you brought you're a-game vocab." joked Sango. Wow, this is déjà vu of her thoughts last night. Maybe Sango was more like her than she realized.
She smirked and put on a show of confidence as the girls opened the door, but she lost her smirk as her eyes grew wide.
Chapter 6 Tomboy
The room was amazing. No, it was beyond amazing it looked straight out of a catalogue. It looked straight out of MTV's Cribs. The room was this enormous semi circle. It had enough room for about 100 people. When you walk inside the first thing that you see is the back wall that is shaped like a circle and was completely windows. The windows are tinted and give the back wall the perfect effect from the glare of the sun outside. The walls where at least 15ft high and were almost covered in posters of bands, music, or just stuff. There were no beds so Kagome assumed that this ways their entertaining room or something.
There was massive flat screen television on one of the walls with these couches that could have like 8 people on them surrounding it. The room had a distinct male feel to it. On the other wall were some weights, but no work out equipment. In this big house there was probably a personal gym somewhere in here. She looked around and saw game tables and general boy stuff around. She felt at home instantly.
"Hey guys." Yelled Rin to the boys who where currently in the middle of a death match, game of the century, no interruptions game of Mortal Combat on one of their game systems so no one even acknowledged her except Sesshomaru who took his cue and walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the lips. Then he glanced at Kagome as if to say who is that, but Rin was too quick and said, "Fluffy, this is Kagome. You know the one I told you about. Fluffy meet Kagome; Kagome meet Fluffy."
"Rin, I have pleaded with you a plethoric number of times in under multifarious conditions not to address with that grotesque name." said Shessomaru.
Kagome was astonished. She couldn't believe they were serious when they said he talked like that.
"See we told you," whispered Sango, "I never know what he's saying. Rin does most of the time, and so does Miroku sometimes, but the rest of us just nod and smile because we just assume he knows what he's talking about."
"I know Fluffy, but it's a lot funner to say." Argued Rin.
"Funner isn't a wor-" started Sesshomaru.
"More fun." Kagome interrupted Sesshomaru when he was correcting Rin.
"What?" he said.
"The proper way to say funner is more fun." Challenged Kagome
He got a good look at her and said "Finally, someone with a sense of grammar. Kagome correct?" He knew she was challenging him, but he wanted to see what she was made of first.
"Maybe, my nom de plume is Kagome and that is all you need to know… Fluffy." She knew she just met him and was probably pushing her luck, but she issued a challenge and she was damn sure she wasn't going to back down now.
The other girls were in shock. They've never met anyone who would stand up to Sesshomaru like that. Besides the fact that he is about 6ft 4in, had a statuesque appearance, and is a well built football player; he had this aura surrounding him that was strong and intimidating. Like he knew he could kill everyone in the room, but through the goodness of his heart he doesn't. Nobody ever challenged him, except Inuyasha but he doesn't count because he always gets his ass whopped. To them, this could be better than cable TV.
Sesshomaru was not amused. He narrowed his eyes. He only tolerated Rin's use of that ridiculous name because he loved her, but this new wench was asking to get hit. He hasn't hit a girl since he was a child and didn't know better, and probably wouldn't know, but this brat was asking for it for real.
First the challenge, that he didn't mind so much because he never got challenged intellectually. This challenge may be more fun than he wanted to admit. She played dirty though, immediately picking up on his dislike of his nickname, but could she hold this up. He was going to respond, but his dumb ass brother interrupted him.
"THIS IS SOME BULL SHIT"
Everyone who wasn't watching the others play Mortal Combat, were watching now. They saw player 2 rip player 1's spine out from his throat and heard Inuyasha cussing a lot.
"This is so fuckin stupid. You fuckin asshole. I know your bitch ass cheated. How could an ass face, shit breath, cock sucker like you beat me… At my own game!" Yeah, that was definitely the same Inuyasha she saw on the field the other day.
"Don't get pissed because you lost dog shit"
"Yeah Inuyasha, calm down. There are ladies present and look they brought that new girl they met."
With that said everyone looked over at the five people standing near the door.
The focus was obviously on Kagome and she didn't like it. It felt like they could see right through her, she prayed that Ayame would make one of her little comments right now.
Miroku started his introduction, "Nice to meet you. I'm Miro-"
"Who the fuck cares about that bitch!? I wanna know how the fuck you beat me!" interrupted Inuyasha.
"Excuse me, but this bitch is not the one to fuck with so I suggest you check your language and call me by my name before I have to embarrass you in front your friends." Kagome was heated. She really didn't know how to react. When she got mad at her old school she usually just beat them up and then got off easy because she was like 'sports queen' and teachers love jocks, especially smart jocks like her. Here, she couldn't attack because he was a half demon and could probably get a few good hits in before someone pulled them apart and it would make a huge set back in her 'I can be a female too' plan.
"Look, I don't know who the fuck you think you are you little prissy bitch, but this is my house and I make the damn rules and I'll call you whateva the fuck I want. You stupid bitch ass hoe."
That was the wrong thing to say. Everyone, even Sesshomaru, could feel something about to happen and was intimidated Kagome had to use all of her will power not to hit him, but she was losing it at a rapid pace. Sesshomaru moved to get in between them; he may not have had a good start with the girl, but he could tell she wasn't a bad person. She was aggressive, intimidating, a little tough, and very annoying, but not a bad person in general.
She started to take a step towards him and say something when her phone rang. She stopped and let it ring for a second before turning around as she looked at her caller ID. It was her friend from back in Miami. "Wow," she thought, "he's just been saved by an angel."
"Excuse me," she murmerd, "I have to take this, it's my friend from where I used to stay."
Everyone nodded except Inuyasha who began to say something, but was cut off when Sesshomaru told him to shut the hell up.
She knew in the back of her mind somewhere that she should have never challenged Sesshomaru and got in an argument with Inuyasha. She could tell he was making connections as she walked into the hallway to talk on her phone. She also knew that the second she walked out the door even for 5 minutes that they would be talking about her little display in there. Wow, what a great first impression, in there for less than 10 minutes and she now have at least 2 enemies.
It turns out to have been her friend Ty calling to say that his sister, probably the only girl who she was cool with, not friends or anything, but cool with had her baby that morning at about 3:30. She was so happy and said that she expected pictures of her future linebacker, and then he started laughing because they both knew that the baby was a girl.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru prodded the girls with all kinds of questions about Kagome until they couldn't answer anymore, but he had gotten all the information he needed from them to run a Google search on her. Something wasn't right and he was going to find out what it was.
Even through all of this prosecuting from Sesshomaru everyone seemed fine, ignoring Inuyasha, with this new girl. It wasn't until Koga spoke up that really caused the problems.
"I don't care what you say about her is weird. I like her and I'm gonna make her my woman." Stated Koga as if he was determined and would not listen to reason.
Ayame gasped. Inuyasha had a different approach towards to the issue.
"What!?" he damn near screamed. "How the hell could you like a scrawny little bitch like that?! I know you're only a mangy wolf and you have to have low standards to start out, but this is really low, even for you."
"What are you blind? She is hot. She is aggressive. And she doesn't take shit from you. That sounds like more than enough to satisfy my needs." refuted Koga.
Ayame looked devastated. She had no corny lines, no witty repartee, and no response to this kind of heart break. She would deny it until she died, but she really did like Koga, and though that even though neither had said anything to each other, they shared a bond that would someday evolve into a formal relationship, but now all she could do was think of how she lost to a girl that he hasn't even spoken to.
"She doesn't even know your name." Ayame whispered, but was positive the whole room heard her because Koga, who was on the other side of the room leaning against the back of the couch he was just sitting on, had responded.
Sango put a hand on Ayame's shoulder as if to say, don't worry, you'll be fine, Koga is just being an ass. Rin looked at her sympathetically from her position at Sesshomaru's side.
"She'll know that and a lot more when I'm done with her." Wow, was he intentionally trying to hurt her. The room was so tense even Inuyasha knew better than to say anything because he didn't want to be responsible for any crying of any sort right now.
Naturally, now was the perfect time for Kagome to come back into the room. She knew she had to swallow her pride and fix the tension because she may not have known about the issue with Koga and Ayame at the moment, but she was responsible for the tension initially.
"Sorry about the interruption, one of my friend's sisters just had a baby and the father bailed out so now he's kinda helping raise it as an uncle and somehow my name came up as possible names for the baby. Anyway, what I had really wanted to say is sorry Sesshomaru for being so snotty in your house. Rin told me you liked to use words no one else understands and I guess I just wanted to see if they were telling me the truth. My bad." She smiled sweetly at him.
It made its affect. She was instantly forgiven, but not because she smiled because Sesshomaru was basically immune to everyone, except Rin's, smile. It was the fact that she just wanted a challenge and admitted to it. That he could at least understand, if not respect in some weird unlike him way.
It was really a good idea for her to apologize to Sesshomaru because she was smart, but not like him. He had a demeanor that screamed educated and she was to sports focused to really be a scholarly. She could perhaps have some fun under friendlier terms.
"And Inuyasha, I'm sorry that I over reacted to you calling me a bitch. You were obviously mad about the game and took it out on me. If you don't call me out of my name, I'll never get mad and threaten you so it's a deal right?!" Kagome was basically lying through her teeth. Not about Sesshomaru. No, she meant his because she did start the drama and had never called her out of her name.
With Inuyasha's apology it was a complete lie and was almost obvious that she didn't put her heart into it. It was more of her demanding that he doesn't call her out of her name so she doesn't have to feel obligated to kill him.
"Keh," said Inuyahsa. He didn't want to accept it, but he knew that when she came back all happy and sayin sorry that if he rejected her apology he would get yelled at by everyone else in the room more than that bitch was worth.
He decided to go with indifference because complete acceptance would kill his pride.
"So, uh, what were you guys doing before we got here?" said Sango who was still glancing at Ayame to make sure she didn't do anything irrational while in her borderline emotional state.
Kagome was absolutely oblivious to her new friend's condition. She was never good at the whole emotion preceptor thing. That was another plus to guy friends. If they were depressed, they didn't want you to know about it, and they make damn sure not to ever have to talk about it.
She did notice the wolf demon in the back she assumed to be Koga looking at her with a look she's never seen before. She had no idea what to do and prayed some one would answer Sango before she exploded.
Thank god, her prayers were answered, but this supposed blessing turned into a pending disaster…
