It's taken me a bit to upload this chapter. I've just gotten busy with school and personal drama.

DISCLAIMER: I of course do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters related to this story. Those are all property of the very talented, Rumiko Takahashi. Also, the name of school I created is not meant to be a real school, so any likeness of the name or description is unintended.

Chapter IV: Much Ado About Boys

Kagome's family had finally left, after the front desk had to call in a plumber to unclog the toilet. The water had mainly soaked up into the carpet, but Miroku stayed behind to help mop up in the bathroom. The entryway now smelled like toilet water.

"Thanks for helping us clean," Kagome said to Miroku, "I'm sorry about my family."

Miroku smiled, "It's no problem. I can't let such a beautiful girl get all wet with toilet water."

Inuyasha shook his head. "You should get going now. I think we've got everything handled."

"Ah, don't be such an ice queen," Miroku said. Inuyasha's upper lip twitched with anger. "Oh, before I forget," Miroku quickly grabbed his camera out of his pocket and took a quick shot of Inuyasha standing, angry, in his female clothes. "That's a keeper. I'll let you two get settled in now." Miroku pocketed the camera again and walked to the door.

When he opened it, he was face to face with a slender girl with long dark hair that she had put into a ponytail. Her bangs were cut square across her forehead, and she had on pink eye shadow.

"Is Kagome staying in this room?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

Kagome ran up behind Miroku, "Hey Sango."

"Sango? My names Miroku, it's a pleasure to meet such a lovely young lady," he extended a hand to her.

"Right, thanks," Sango said slowly taking his hand to shake it.

Miroku took out his camera, "Mind if I take a photo of you two? I'm documenting my friend, Leiko's, stay here."

Suddenly, he was pushed out the door by Inuyasha, "Leave!" he yelled pointing to the stairs.

"Alright, alright I'm going," Miroku said, "I'll see all you ladies later," he waved as he walked off.

"Who was that?" Sango asked pointing.

"No one," Inuyasha said bluntly, walking back into the room.

"Come on in Sango. That's my roommate, Leiko," Kagome said pointing over to Inuyasha.

"Have you two unpacked yet? There's a lot of storage around here," Sango commented walking in the doorway.

"I haven't yet. My family made their big entrance, so we've actually been cleaning up around here."

Sango sniffed the air, "Is that why it smells like a toilet?"

"That would be my grandpa's fault," Kagome said as they walked to the beds.

"What the hell?!" Inuyasha yelled loudly.

"What's wrong?" Both Kagome and Sango asked.

Inuyasha had opened his suitcase, which Miroku had packed, and sitting in it was a load of pink clothes. Everything in the suitcase, except for jeans, was pink. Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched and he sorted through the clothes, trying to find anything that was another color.

Kagome looked over Inuyasha's shoulder into his suitcase, "Wow Leiko, you sure do like pink."

He gritted his teeth, "Yeah…it's my favorite…color. I need to use the restroom," Inuyasha walked off to the bathroom with his hands clenched. Sango and Kagome watched him with raised eyebrows.

"Leiko's a little odd," Sango said quietly to Kagome.

"Yeah, well I guess she-" Kagome was cut off by the sound of pounding and muttered cursing coming from the bathroom.

Both girls looked over at the bathroom door as Inuyasha thrashed around angrily.

"Uh, you want to go see my room Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Yeah, let's go," Kagome replied already going towards the door.

Inuyasha threw open the door after Sango and Kagome had left the room. "I'm going to kill him." Inuyasha grabbed his cell phone out of his pocket and quickly dialed Miroku's number.

"Hello?" A familiar voice on the other end asked.

"You're so lucky you left before I unpacked."

Miroku laughed, "Ah, you saw the fruits of my shopping labor."

"I am not wearing pink all the time! You can't buy me all pink crap," Inuyasha yelled.

"I can actually, it's part of the deal. You have to do everything on my terms. Including wearing whatever I decide to buy you."

"Well you'd better be deciding to buy me a whole new wardrobe before I decide to go visit your home and throw you out a window."

"Look, I'll buy you some new shirts if you're a good girl and behave over there."

"Fuck off."

Miroku laughed again, "I've got all those photos of you uploaded onto my computer, ready for the internet."

Inuyasha scoffed. "If I just make it through the year without destroying you, they'll be completely trashed, right?"

"Correct, I'll delete absolutely every photo off of my computer."

"Ok, buy me something that's not pink…and bring me some food tomorrow!" Inuyasha closed his phone and shoved it back in his pocket with a slightly defeated sigh. "I hate this."

Inuyasha walked out from his class to start his lunch period. He was fully decked out in his school uniform, a blue plaid pleated skirt, white button up shirt, and a sweater vest with a badge with the school emblem on it. There was a blazer jacket that went with it, but since it was so warm outside, no one wore it. He couldn't get over the fact that he was in a skirt, the whole morning he could barely concentrate in any class.

His tenseness was very noticeable, and every teacher asked him if he was feeling alright. He had to lie to them in his girlie voice, which made him feel even worse. The only thing he was looking forward to was the lunch that Miroku was bringing him.

"Hey Leiko," Kagome said walking up to him, "do you want to have lunch with me and Sango?"

Inuyasha looked at her with a raised eyebrow, a little confused that they'd even want to hang out with him after the previous day, "Why?"

Kagome was taken aback, "Uh, well, you're my roommate, and I don't know much about you. I thought we should hang out a bit."

"Sure, I don't have any place else to be."

Kagome gave him a weird look, "Well, Sango's already sitting by the tree we eat at outside. Follow me."

They walked out of the building, and over to a tall tree shading a small area of grass where Sango was sitting with a boxed lunch. She smiled and waved as they approached, "Hi girls!" She said waving.

"Hey Sango," Kagome said sitting down next to her.

"Uh, hi," Inuyasha said sitting across from her.

"Do you have any lunch, Leiko?" Sango asked. "You can share my food if you don't."

"Oh I have lunch, hopefully," Inuyasha said.

Kagome and Sango started to chatter about school and random other things. Every so often they'd ask Inuyasha something, and he'd give a short answer, but he didn't really talk with them; until they got onto the subject of boys.

"So, Leiko, I have this friend, Hiroshi, who's single and been looking for a date. He's a really sweet guy, and I think you two might hit it off." Sango said.

Inuyasha's mouth twitched with disgust.

"Hm, actually, I sent that photo I took of you on my phone to one of my guy friends. He was curious about my roommate, and he said that you're pretty hot." Kagome added.

Inuyasha's eye started to twitch as well.

"Oh, wait, are you talking about your friend Tanaka?" Sango asked, "Oh Leiko, he's pretty cute. If you want, we could set something up between you two."

"No!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

The girls looked shocked by his loud declaration.

"You sure feel strongly about that," Sango mentioned. "Are you dating anyone?"

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, thinking about it. If he just said yes, then he wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to set him up on dates, but then they'd want to see who the mystery person was.

"Is it that guy that helped you move in?" Kagome asked. "You seemed to be kind of close to him."

Inuyasha saw an opportunity. "Yes, yeah. Yeah, that's him."

The girls seemed satisfied with that answer, and they moved the conversation on, much to Inuyasha's relief. Finally, he heard the sound his stomach had been waiting for.

"Leiko, I got your lunch," Miroku yelled waving walking over to him and the girls.

"About time!" Inuyasha said jumping up and grabbing the bag of food from Miroku's hands.

"Miroku, right?" Kagome asked.

"Ah yes, it's nice that you remembered. You're Kagome correct?" Miroku looked over at Sango, "and you're Sango, if I remember correctly?"

"You have a good memory," Sango said.

"I never forget beautiful girls' names."

Sango and Kagome raised their eyebrows at his flirting. Inuyasha quickly pulled Miroku aside. "Listen, those girls were trying to hook me up with some guy friends of theirs, so I told them we were dating to get them off my back."

"What?!" Miroku exclaimed too loudly.

The girls looked over at them, and Inuyasha spoke quieter, "Shut up, you're the one who put me here, so just play along so I don't have to deal with them trying to get me together with other guys."

Miroku sighed, "But that would mean that if I try to hit on them, they'll reject me."

"They'd reject you anyways, I'm just saving your face from getting slapped."

"Fine, fine. But there's to be no awkward physical interactions."

"You think I want to touch you?"

Sango called over to them, "Are you two going to eat with us?"

Inuyasha turned to face them, "Yeah, we just had to have a little talk, but we're good now."

They both sat down with Sango and Kagome, forming a little circle in the grass.

"So, you're Leiko's boyfriend?" Kagome asked. "How long have you two been together?"

Inuyasha and Miroku looked at each other and spoke at the same time.

"Two years."

"One year."

Sango and Kagome both gave them strange looks.

"Uh, we've dated for two but were only exclusive for one," Inuyasha said.

"Good save," Miroku whispered to him.

"Oh ok, so you guys must be in love then, if you've known each other for so long," Sango said.

"Yeah," Inuyasha said.

"There's so much love here…I almost can't stand it…" Miroku said trying to not grimace.

"You guys are sitting so far apart, though," Kagome mentioned, "normally people who are in love sit really close together."

Inuyasha quickly scooted closer to Miroku, and Miroku tried to keep a straight face. "Awkward," he whispered.

"I know," Inuyasha whispered back.

The girls could tell that they were acting a little odd for a couple.

"So, you're really dating each other?" Sango questioned.

"Oh yes, we're dating," Inuyasha said.

"Then why don't you two kiss?" Sango asked.

Miroku's eyes got narrow, "Touch me and die," he whispered to Inuyasha.

"We're not much for P.D.A," Inuyasha said. "We're more of a private couple."

"But you've been together for so long, why wouldn't you want to show off that you're together?" Kagome asked.

"So, anyone watch any good TV shows lately?" Miroku asked trying to change the subject.

"Why are you two acting so weird?" Sango asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We're not used to being put on the spot," Inuyasha said.

"If you're a legitimate couple, you should just be able to kiss and not think anything of it," Sango said crossing her arms.

Man, this girl's persistent. I know I'll just kiss him on the cheek really quickly, wash my mouth off and then they can get off my back. Inuyasha thought to himself.

Miroku looked over at Inuyasha with his eyes still narrowed, but as he turned his head, Inuyasha leaned in to try and kiss him on the cheek. Instead, Inuyasha's lips landed right on Miroku's. They quickly pulled away from each other, Miroku's upper lip twitching. Inuyasha hid a disgusted look by smiling too big.

"There we go," Sango said. "You guys shouldn't be so shy about acting like a couple in public."

"Are you two ok?" Kagome asked, noticing that neither of them had moved since they part.

"I need to get back to…work," Miroku said getting up from the ground.

"Uh, yeah…you do that…I need to do some homework," Inuyasha said also standing up.

"Oh you both have to leave? I guess we'll catch you two later," Sango said.

"I'll see you in class, Leiko," Kagome said, "nice seeing you again, Miroku."

Miroku and Inuyasha soundlessly walked away. As soon as Inuyasha got into the building, where Sango and Kagome couldn't see him, he ran to his room. He immediately burst into the bathroom and ran the sink water, rinsing his mouth out furiously, almost gagging a few times. He heard his phone ring, and he quickly answered it, knowing who was on the other line.

"Hello?"

"What the hell?!" Miroku yelled.

"You turned your face, I was just going to get your cheek to shut them up, but you turned!"

"Well, just for that, you're not getting any new clothes, you can have fun with your pink wardrobe," Miroku said hanging up.

"What? Wait no!" Inuyasha threw his phone across the room, and then continued to wash out his mouth.

That's it for the fourth chapter. Thanks for reading, I hope to have the fifth chapter out sooner.
