Chapter 8: To finish off the night…

Inu-yasha had turned his head to face Kagome. Kagome's heart was racing. She couldn't control her mouth. "Inu-yasha…I…" But she was cut off by the sound of some one knocking on their door. Kagome let out a deep breath. She was some what relieved that some one was here…Wait a minute no one was answering the door! She jumped off the couch and raced to the door.

She opened the door to see her best friend Sango standing there. "What took you so long? Hope I didn't disturb…anything you two could be doing…together." She said trying to see in with a huge grin on her face. "Shut up!" Kagome snapped as her face turned slightly pink. Kagome grabbed her key to her dorm and joined Sango in the hall.

"So…!" Sango said eyeing her friend. "So what! I've got nothin' to tell ya!" Kagome hissed to her friend. She was still trying to figure out what she would have said if Sango hadn't arrived. "What did you two do?" Sango wasn't going to drop it. Kagome sighed. "We worked on the project then went and got a coffee." She wasn't sure if she should have told her friend that. Sango started ooooooooooooing her when she said "went and got a coffee".

"And you said you did nothing." Sango said while waving her hand in Kagome's face. Kagome moved the hand out of her face and replied "We didn't do anything. It wasn't a real date." Kagome was trying to tell this to herself with this last comment. "Have you asked HIM that?" Sango was proud of herself for thinking of this last one so quickly.

"Well…No, but" Kagome stopped in the middle of her sentence. She could hear the phone ringing in her dorm. She heard Inu-yasha answer the phone. It was kind of muffled but she got most of it. "Hello?" A pause, "She's not here can I take a message?" Another pause, "Yes I'm sure she is not here!" His voice sounded annoyed.

"She went into the hallway when her friend came." Pause. "I don't know if she's still the hallway!" Silence… "Let me get this straight, you want me to go in the hall and yell her name!" Silence… "Fine, I'll go look for her in the hall, but I won't yell for her." She heard him put down the phone on a table then his foot steps were coming closer.

"What's that Kagome? YOU…" Sango was planning on yelling that she liked him, but Kagome had pinched her hard on the arm. "Ow!" Sango yelped. "My fingers slipped…just like your tongue did." Kagome smirked.

The door opened revealing a very irritated Inu-yasha. His face turned to shock when he saw the two girls standing there in front of him. The girl beside Kagome had a great body. She was tall and had long dark brown hair tied up in a neat pony-tail. Her eyes were a deep brown and she had freckles spread across her face. Inu-yasha recognized her as his old buddies girlfriend, Sango.

"Hey Sango." He said as if it were the most casual thing. Then he turned faced Kagome and said, "The phone is for you…the person wouldn't take no for an answer." Inu-yasha sounded slightly annoyed when he finished his sentence. "Is it a guy or a girl?" Kagome asked. She had an idea who it was. "A girl." Inu-yasha replied coolly. Sango and Kagome faced each other. Kagome gave one more evil eye to her friend then walked in, while waving her hand as if to say "C'mon in!"

Inu-yasha waited the walked in as if nothing was bothering him, but he was almost dieing from suspense. He wanted to know what Kagome had been about to say. 'Maybe it's nothing.' He told himself. 'but maybe it's something.' His thoughts were mixed up.

"Hi," Kagome said casually. Sango sat herself on the couch. Inu-yasha had no idea what he was going to talk to her about. "So what did you guys do?" Sango asked casually but was starring him in the eye. "Nothing" Inu-yasha replied almost adding that it wasn't her business.

"Hmmmmm…" She looked satisfied. "What?" Inu-yasha asked. "Suspicious, very suspicious, neither you nor Kagome will tell me what happened." She finished her sentence when Inu-yasha gave her the evil eye. "Well nothing happened." He said a smile on his face when Kagome came back. It was really weird, and uncomfortable talking to her friend.

Back flash to Kagome's phone convo…

"Hello?" Kagome had asked innocently even though she knew who it was. "Hi Kagome darling!" Kagome's mother's voice echoed in her ear. "How's it going mom?" Kagome asked. "Fine, fine. Now down to business. I'm sorry for calling so late dear but…I had something to tell you but I can't remember it! And now who was that man on the phone? What were you doing in the hall way, if you were in the hall way!" A very excited Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed. "Mom please! The person who answered the phone is my room-mate-" Kagome was going to answer the next question but her mother cut her off.

"Your room-mate! A boy! Kagome!" Kagome was sure that Sango and Inu-yasha had heard her mother scream her name. "Mom SHHHHH… Kagome hissed. "Calm down!" "Calm down? My daughter has a male room-mate! Are you two going out?" Mrs. Higurashi quizzed. "No mother we,re not going out." Kagome calmly replied 'Or at least I don't think we are…' Her thoughts buzzed in her head.

Kagome's thoughts were disturbed by her mothers yell. "What do you mean your not going out? You live together and your not dating? Kagome how can this be? You are a very pretty girl, Sometimes your TO childish but-" Kagome's mother was talking and talking. So Kagome decided to cut in, "Mom I am capable of making my own decisions. I'm 18 now. Now I have to go, Sango is here." Kagome started to worry her mother would start again on dating "Ok dear you take care. And call me if…anything happens. Oh Sota wants to say hi. Bye dear!" "Bye."

She waited only a second before she heard her little brothers voice. "Hiya sis!" "Hi Sota. How's it going for you?" "Great. What'd ya tell ma? She looks really happy." Sota informed her. "Oh nothing. So are you still going out with Sayo?" Sota blushed, "Yeah…Ma's calling she's saying something about you having to get back to your roomy" Sota said as if it were a question. (It was Kagome's turn to blush) "Okay. Bye Sota!" "Later sis!" Kagome heard the familiar click of someone hanging-up then the even more familiar dial tone.

Kagome put down the phone almost reluctantly. Why? She didn't know. (But I know hehehehehe)

Then Kagome suddenly realized that she had left Sango alone with Inu-yasha. She hurried over to the living room and looked at Inu-yasha and he was smiling! 'Uh…Oh…' Was all she could think. Sango had a smirk on her face, and poor Kagome thought that Sango had told Inu-yasha that she liked him! 'What am I going to do!' Her thoughts were racing. Sango got up grabbed her arm and yanked her out of Inu-yasha's hearing.

"You owe me big time!" Sango whispered. "What for!" Kagome was very confused. "I didn't tell him a thing. But man oh man he's a hottie! If I weren't with Miroku…And you of course didn't want him so passionately." Sango said this a little louder to piss off Kagome. Kagome smacked Sango hard on the arm. "OW!" She yelped. "You deserved it! Now are you done threatening me Oh best friend of mine?" Kagome hissed at Sango.

Sango was rubbing her arm where Kagome had left a red mark. "I get the message YOU want to be ALONE with HIM!" Sango yelled the 3 words as she jumped and ran out the door. Kagome was freaking out. All she could think to do was go yell out the door after her "SANGO!" Then she hastily closed the door and turned around. Inu-yasha was back sitting on the couch. He turned to face her. Inu-yasha noticed straight away that her face was scarlet red. "I'm…um…going to bed now! G'night." And with that she slipped into her room. She grabbed her pjs and went into the bathroom on "her side" of the room to change.

Inu-yasha had been hoping she would sit beside him and continue what she had been about to say. HE was really curious. He waited for awhile then walked into the room. Kagome was just getting into her bed. She was now wearing a sleevless white top that stopped just before her belly-button. Then her pajamas pants were made out of silk and started on her hips (showing a little of her hips). They had cute little kittens and puppies all over.

He then snuck a look at her face. She had a pinkish tint in her cheeks as she noticed he had walked in. She quickly dove under the covers and turned off her lamp. Inu-yasha was smiling so she couldn't see it. Then he realized his problem. He didn't have pajamas…He had always had a boy room-mate, so he had always slept in his boxers! "Uh oh…" he whispered.

He turned off his lamp then made his way to his dresser. He found the top drawer pulled out his boxers and got changed in the washroom. When he walked out of the bathroom he felt weird. There he was only in his boxers, it was pitch black and there was a girl that was the beautiful he'd ever seen on the other side of the room.

Kagome was afraid he would walk into something and hurt himself. "Do you want me to turn on a lamp?" She sat up. She wasn't so shy when she couldn't see him. "Uh……No I'm…..uh…fine." Inu-yasha's voice replied. "Ow!" Inu-yasha said as he stubbed his toe on his dresser. If she turned on the light she would see him, but if the light stayed off he would definitely feel more pain. "Are you OK?" Kagome's voice broke his thoughts.

"I'm fine." Inu-yasha said threw clenched teeth as he banged his elbow hard on the desk. Kagome must have heard the bang. "I'm going to turn on the light Ok?" She asked kind of worried. "No! I mean it's ok." 'Why doesn't he want the light on?' Her thoughts were quizzing her 'Turn on the light to find out' a voice said in her head. She knew she was going to regret it but she reached over and turned on her lamp. Kagome looked over to his bed to see Inu-yasha in nothing but his boxers leaning over his bed. His face was the redest she'd ever seen it!

"Uh s…sorry," Kagome ripped her eyes from his body. He was so damn hot! Kagome was crimson red as she heard him get into his bed. She turned around again to see Inu-yasha now lying on his bed. The covers were pulled up to the middle of his chest. Inu-yasha caught her looking at his body and gave a small smile. Inu-yasha took this chance to take a better look at her. Her hair was going down past her shoulders. Her top made a V and showed a little cleavage. The blankets had fallen down to show the little bit of her hips that her pjs allowed.

Then they both realized they were looking at each other and both turned shades of red. Kagome slipped under the covers. She forgot to turn off her lamp. She was looking up at the ceiling, her eyes glazed over. She was obviously deep in thought. So Inu-yasha took advantage of this. He leaned over and placed a light kiss on her cheeks and turned off the light at the same time. "huh?" Kagome whispered when she realized the lights went off but she was to tired to realize he had kissed her!

When Kagome woke up her hand flew to her left cheek. 'Was it a dream?' She got up and looked at her clock it was 5:27AM (obviously!). She turned her alarm clock off before it started to ring at 5:30. She looked over to the bed beside hers. Inu-yasha was in a deep sleep. His chest was slowly rising and falling back down. The sheets were thrown back and she could see the rim of his boxers. His hair was loose over his pillow. Kagome then knew she'd fallen hard for this guy.
