Hikaru-San: Yay! A review!!! Bert8813... i'm still waiting for that sequel... in speaking of which... i still need to do some work on mine... nee?

anyway! here's another fabulous chapter of East Meets West!!!!


"Of all places to meet… WHY A RAMEN RESTRANT!?"

"Well, why not? It's quick and easy and it's the closest place between your office and mine." Inuyasha said, while taking a huge slurp of noodles.

"It's just embarrassing…" Sesshomaru said, picking at the pile of noodles that was supposed to be food.

"Fine, then I won't give you a heads up for what Kags has plan for you." Inuyasha said evilly.

"What now?"

"She's trying to set you up again…"

"I told her never to do that again. What was the name of the last one again?"

"Myakka?"

"Yeah… she looked too much like a horse…"

"No wonder dumbass! She was a horse demon. Besides Kagome picked that one"

"Whatever. I'm just not interested. I have a hard enough time being there for Rin. I'm not in a position for a relationship."

"If you didn't keep yourself busy with a bunch of unnecessary work…" Inuyasha mumbled, hoping Sesshomaru didn't hear it. He did.

BAM!

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!?" Inuyasha snarled, causing a bit of unnecessary attention. Sesshomaru took a sip of tea.

"Being a jackass…" he said calmly.

"But it's true!"

Sesshomaru got up.

"I'll see you later."

"Like this weekend…"

"Su…"

BAM!

He crashed to the floor. It was her again.

"Jeez!" she shouted, while rubbing where the bruise from last time was.

"You still can't watch where ya going!?" she snarled.

"I could say the same for you…" Sesshomaru growled back.

Inuyasha watched with interest. Those two know each other?

The woman growled as she got up and dusted herself off.

"Sorry…" she said. Sesshomaru got up and looked at her.

"Sorry that you're a complete arrogant son of a bitch…" she said as if it was nothing. Inuyasha hid his face behind a menu to hide his amusement because...

one. No one insults Sesshomaru… ever…

two. Her statement was sort of true, since they were dog youkai and Sesshomaru's mother actually was a bitch…

Sesshomaru glared at her, but shrugged it off and went on his way.

"You are my hero…" Inuyasha said, taking a seat next to the young woman.


Andy looked at the guy curiously. She's seen him somewhere before… but where?

"Do I know you?" she asked.

"Oh sorry! My name's Inuyasha…"

That was it! It was a picture Koga had with him when he was being hosted by her family. It had him, a boy with long white hair with dog ears, a black haired girl, and Ayame.

"You don't happen to know a Koga Ookami, do you?" Andy asked again.

"Actually I do. He was my roommate in college. How do you know Koga?"

"He stayed with my family when he was doing a wildlife exchange program in America. I'm Andy Williams."

So this is the famous Andy that Koga wouldn't stop talking about. Inuyasha thought to himself.

Then a sudden brain flash came to mind. Koga wouldn't stop talking about the woman last night. He and Ayame swung by his and Kagome's house after dinner with Ayame's parents. Koga and Ayame were telling them about how a friend of theirs from America was moving to Japan. Kagome had that look in her eyes.

But no way in hell was he telling Sesshomaru that he met his potential girlfriend. Nor she about Sesshomaru.

"Does he talk about me?" Andy asked. Pulling Inuyasha from his thoughts.

"A little. How about I buy you lunch today?"

"um... I'm flattered but…"

"Who said this was an advance. I have a wife and two kids…"

"Oh! Sure…"


(That Saturday)

Andy was sitting in the back seat of Ayame's car.

"I still can't believe you went out, got a job, and then made the magic bread without me!" Ayame said.

"But my bread will never be as good as mama's." Andy said, looking down at the place of fry bread she made for the party.

"Oh you'll like Kagome. She's married and has twins, but she's still on top of what's what on the pop culture scene."

"Uh- huh…"

"and Inuyasha's a pretty neat guy…"

"Yeah… I know…"

"How?"

"I met him on one of my lunch runs on Tuesday."

"Ah… I should warn you though… the next couple…" Ayame continued, as she parked the car. She and Andy got out.

"…Sango and Miroku. They make a nice couple, but Miroku is still trying to get out of his womanizing habit and Sango can throw a mean punch. Just warning you in case their having on if the world famous fights."

"You got a lot of weird friends…" Andy said.

'Yeah... but they're a lot of fun!" Ayame said, as she led them through a back gate of a middle class house. "And they just get weirder…"

"AYAME! About time you got here!" Kagome cried out from the food table.

"Hi Kagome!" Ayame said, giving Kagome a hug as if they haven't seen each other in years. Andy shy-ed back into a corner.

"Oh! Quit being a shy guy! Kagome, this is my friend Andy. She just moved here from Schurz, Nevada."

"Where?"

"On an Indian Reservation in America." Andy said.

"Oh! I'm Kagome! And my husband, Inuyasha's over there." Kagome said.

Inuyasha and Koga were busy wrestling with Inuyasha's kids, Kiki and Haru.

"I Win!" Haru cried out, as he pinned Koga to the ground.

"Fine! I give! Now get off my neck!"

"One Two Three! All eyes on me!" Kiki cried, as she sat on the chest of her 'defeated opponent'.

"I may be down…" Inuyasha said, and then he swung Kiki over his shoulder, making her giggle. "But I'm not out!"

The little boy and girl looked exactly like Inuyasha, but Haru's hair was black like his mother's, and Kiki was the female version of her father.

"Those three are so nutty…" Kagome said about her family.

"So this is the famous Andy?" a man walking up to them said. His hair was slicked back into a rat's tail.

"Don't you even think about it…" a woman said next to him. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, her brown eyes rolled in annoyance.

"How is it that everyone knows me but I don't know them?" Andy asked.

"Wow, your Japanese is pretty good! I'm Sango, and this is Miroku. He's harmless… most of the time…"

"It's very nice to meet you." Andy said, while giving a formal bow.

"I brought this over for the party, I hope there's enough." Andy said, handing her plate of fry bread over to Kagome.

"Thank you… um, what is it?"

"It's a Native specialty…" Andy replied.

"AUNTIE!" a little girl cried out.

That must mean that Andy's date's here… Kagome though to herself, as she let loose a smirk.

'Hello Rinnie! How are you doing on this fabulous day?" Kagome said, hugging her niece.

"Pretty good! Who's your friend?" Rin asked, as she spotted Andy.

"Hi, I'm Andy. What's your name?"

"Rin!"

"Nice to meet you Rin!"

"Yup. Rin's my niece. Want to meet my Bro- In- Law?" Kagome asked.

Ayame, Sango, and Miroku gave Kagome a look. She had that expression on her face again. There was going to be some tension tonight. Inuyasha tried to hide his smirk. He knew what was probably going to happen tonight. He and Koga were in for a show. Inuyasha told Koga about his and Andy's little encounter two days ago and now the two were waiting for the show to start.

"Daddy! Aren't you coming!?" Rin cried out.

"I'm coming, I'm coming…" a man's voice called out.

"Andy, this is Rin's father, Sesshomaru…" Kagome said, taking Andy by the hand to meet the newly arrived guest.

"Nice to meet…" Andy stopped in mid sentence. It was the guy that kept knocking her over!


Not her again! Sesshomaru thought to himself. He made a mental note to gut Inuyasha later…

"Sesshomaru, this is Andy Williams. She just moved here from America!" Kagome said cheerfully, clearly oblivious to the tense atmosphere.

"Hi…" she said bitterly.

"Nice to meet you… again…" Sesshomaru said, just as coldly.

Kagome finally noticed.

"You two met already?"

"Well… not exactly…"

"Great! Now you two can get to know each other better!" Kagome said, pushing the two away from the main group.

"You do know that he's going to pin it all on me later…right?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"Not this time. I sense a connection between the two!" Kagome said, making everyone else groan.


Rin, meanwhile, after playing with her younger cousins for a bit, snuck off by herself and spied on Sesshomaru and Andy.


The two remained silent. Andy stared down at her denim caprices and light blue tank top.

"Ok…" she finally said. Sesshomaru looked up.

"Maybe we got off on a bad start. Let's start over…" Andy said.

"Oh my! Sorry for running into you like that…" Andy gave him a look to continue with the imaginary scenario.

Is she out of her mind? Sesshomaru stared back at her. Andy closed her eyes and sighed.

"Not the talkative type, are you?" she said. She stared back at his face. She got lost in his golden eyes…


God… what is it with guys and the old warrior look?

I sense an attraction!!!! Her inner youkai shouted.

Shut up…


Sesshomaru meanwhile was trying to ignore the soft brown eyes staring back.


Hm… an American…

No… go away…

What? All I'm asking is to have a casual chat. Is that too hard to ask?

Maybe…


"So…" Sesshomaru finally said, pulling Andy out of her trance.

"Huh?"

"You're from America?"

Andy nodded.

"I'm Paiute."

"You're what?"

"I'm not surprised. Not many people know about the Paiute tribe. I'm full blooded Native American. My mother's human, while my Dad's a wolf youkai."

This was indeed interesting. Not just a Native American, but a true American. Weren't Natives the first people to settle on the North American continent before Europeans set foot there?

"Any siblings?"

"I'm an only child, but I always had plenty of cousins around, so their kind of like my brothers and sisters."

"Big Family…"

"Really big."


Kagome looked over at the couple. Things looked like they were running smoothly.

"Inuyasha… come over here and take a look…" Kagome said. Inuyasha looked over at his brother.

"That's unusual… normally he bores the girl to death."

"I knew it…" Kagome said, taking a huge chomp out of a carrot.


The evening went on smoothly. They had dinner, everyone amazed with how good the fry bread tasted, and eventually, everyone had to go their separate ways. Andy slipped her number into Sesshomaru's hand.

"It was really nice to meet you." she said. Then she left with Ayame and Koga.

Rin spotted that. Maybe… dad might like her…


Hikaru- San: Ok... if you didn't get some of the jokes in there, let me know and i'll explain it to you. That would be Indi'n humor. If you seen the movie Smoke Signals and you get the funny parts, then i think you'll be fine with the jokes here...

Anyway!!!! Don't forget to read and review!!!!!
