I do not own Inuyasha or The Boondocks

I bit my lip nervously, glancing around the kitchen.

"He's not here, calm down Kagome."

I laid my head on with counter, "Sorry, gramps. I'm just not up to running in to him today, you know?"

Now this made Robert Freeman turn his head out of the refrigerator to look at me. He squinted his eyes, and I mentally sweat dropped at how serious he looked.

"Cuz he likes you? I told that boy he was way outta his league with you. Even though him and Huey did manage to inherit my good looks-"

"Grampssss, that's not what I mean."

"Huh? If you don't like him I understand completely. Hell, I don't like him either!"

I smiled and opened my mouth to reply when Ruckus waltzed in and sat down at the table. He glared at me, and I smirked, lightly touching my hand to my cheek to remind him of our last encounter.

"Ruckus, what the hell?" Robert all but shouted, "You can't just walk in people's house like that, you're lucky I-"

Ruckus kept his eyes on me, "You still keeping this here China girl around Robert? It's bad enough you got them lil niggas running around making like harder for these hard working white men and women. "

"Ruckus, shut the hell up!" Robert replied, used to his outbursts.

I definitely wasn't, and I took that as my cue to leave. Waving bye to Robert, I headed for the door go find Riley pushing up against some girl. Neither noticed me as they were too wrapped up in swallowing each other's face. No wonder I didn't hear him come in.

I walked backwards slowly to the kitchen where Robert and Ruckus were both too busy arguing about some music video they saw yesterday to notice me go out the back way. Thank goodness.

"What are you doing?"

I jumped, quickly pushing my elbow back. Someone caught my arm before it made impact, and I knew it was Huey immediately. Only he had reflexes like that.

"N-Nothing! Just leaving." I chuckled nervously at Huey's doubtful expression.

"You could use the front door." He pointed out.

"Thought I'd try something different. " I said lamely, "Well, gotta run. See you guys later."

And I left, not bothering to look back the whole way home. Well, except to say hi back to A Pimp Named Slickback once I passed by his club. He was a pretty cool guy when he wasn't in full on pimp mode.
