Okay, so I went to bed and woke up with more visits that I thought i'd get so yay! But then I also still haven't gotten a review. :( Wah.

Also thank you for letting me know that Kouga's name was being auto corrected to Koga. I really don't know how I didn't catch that. I will try to keep that from happening but if it does happen again bare with me.

Anyway here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Chapter Four: The Drunk from the Wedding

"Yeah it's the house on the corner right over there" Kagome frowned pointing at the blue faded two story house. It was bigger than most of the houses on the block, but the grass was overgrown and the windows were full of dust. After the divorce Kagome just couldn't find the strength to do work on the house.

And Inuyasha could see that as clear as daylight. He looked over and the sad helpless woman sitting in his car, she hadn't even bothered to hide her expression, she was ready to cry.

'No please anything but that' Inuyasha begged too himself.

When Kagome sniffled and sat up her emotions clearly being brought back under control Inuyasha felt relief wash over his body. He pulled in front of the house turning to her to ask if he wanted him to walk her in but she was already out of the door.

Stomping up the driving to the side door, before SLAM!

Funny, he was pretty sure he hadn't said anything to make her angry.

Kagome leaned against the door her body shaking with mixed emotions, fear, anger, and more importantly confusion.

She didn't really even know why she had stormed out of the car so angrily. Maybe it was the sight of the house?

Or maybe it was because she had remembered something that hurt more than anything.

It's not like the divorce was clear for her. In two months her and Kouga would've been out of the country for a week, work trip but also a two year anniversary trip.

Now the clothing that Kagome had bought for said trip were packed in a small tight back that was bending at it's corners. She didn't even bother to handle them with care.

Why should she? It isn't like Kouga handled her with care!

Kagome sighed as she headed towards the kitchen tossing her house keys on the counter "Sango..." she looked into the living room "Miroko...?" She trotted up the stair case to the third floor her stomach turning at the sounds of heavy breathing "If you guys are doing anything in my house I will-"

"Hey Kagome!" Sango said jumping out of the guest room her shirt hanging off of her body and her jeans slipping off her waist.

'Oh they are so dead!' Kagome thought clenching her fists. She made a fake smile "Hey Sango! Buddy! Best friend...what were you doing?" She hissed through her teeth.

Sango smiled nervously giving a small laugh "Oh haha ya know! Was playing hide and seek with Miroko! He is really good at it." She blushed touching one hand behind her head.

Just then Miroko came out of the bed room his white shirt was miss buttoned and his fly was half way unzipped. Kagome shivered.

"You guys are so disgusting.." She sighed before giving a small chuckle.

Sango and Miroko looked at each with odd expressions then turned back to Kagome. "So...your not mad?"

Kagome whipped her head up smiling devishly 'busted' she thought before running her hands together "No...of course i'm not mad.."

"Phew! That's a relief because we-"

"I'm furious!" Kagome yelled her eyes shooting flames. "How could you guys have sex? In my house..." She paused then lowered her head slightly "Did you guys at least get some packing done..?"

Sango gave her friend a warm smile before hugging her "Yeah we got your room done, the living room is almost done, you den is completely done, and did you know you had two rooms completely empty?"

Kagome gulped nodding silently "Yeah..." she muttered "One was Kouga's work out room...the other was his office.."

Sango stepped back and looked at her friend her smile fading into a guilt riddled frown "I am so sorry I didn't know.."

Kagome sniffled and waited for the tears to flood her eyes, for her face to become damp with the salty traitorous water. Her eyes widened when nothing came out, not even a single drop. She looked up at Sango who was staring at her with a puzzled expression.

'I'm...not crying?' Kagome thought taking a deep breathe 'The pain...in my chest...it...it feels so faint now...so small...'

She put a hand over her chest taking a deeper breathe 'It can't be..' she thought her mind swirling around with words and confusion.

Sango reached out and hugged her friend "I am really sorry Kagome.." she said her voice clearly stating the truth in her words.

But Kagome didn't hear her or even see her, she didn't see Miroko either, just herself standing in a hallway with no pain and no sorry.

'No regrets..' she thought 'maybe...maybe I just...needed to talk to someone about it...but I hadn't even told Inuyasha the whole story...'

Miroko and Sango were yelling now, Sango had tried to shake Kagome who kept staring off at the wall her words failing to leave her lips.

Kagome looked at Sango her heart was pumping out blood that was full of confusion, and her brain was thinking thoughts that didn't make sense. What was wrong with her? Why was she finally able to move on after her husbands betrayal?

She could only think of one thing, one person to be exact.

Inuyasha..

"So tell me about it?" Sango said leaning against Miroko her legs propped up on one of the card board boxes. Kagome had asked them why they didn't put the couch on the corner like she asked, but they were at a lost for words.

'Pfft..they had well over 5 hours pack up the house, and they got less done then I could've imagined. AND THEY HAD SEX IN MY HOUSE!'

Ex house...

"Tell you about what?" Kagome asked taking a sip from her soda can. It was flat, Miroko seemed to laugh at this, that bastard he just loved to shake up all of Kagomes sodas, He knew how much she hated a flat soda! She'd get him back for this. Hopefully.

"The appointment? Did you find any apartments your interested in?" She said.

"Oh yeah, one. It is really nice, has a lot of space, is near a park, and is definitely comfy." Kagome smiled thinking of that apartment. She really didn't expect to find anything, but the way Inuyasha spoke about it made her mind click instantly. Of course it would need a paint job, white wasn't her color.

"Good I'm glad." She nodded.

Miroko smiled waving his glass to the side "Me too. Wouldn't of wanted to keep you up all night if you moved in with us." He laughed, and then groaned when Sango elbowed him. Kagome choked on her water, gagging a bit. She shot Miroko and psychotic glare before looking at Sango again.

"I still don't know why you married him." She seethed.

"Of course you do! Your the one who set us up if I recall." Sango exclaimed jumping on her friend "Of course you couldv'e set me up with someone a little bit hotter and a little less lecherous."

"HEY! I resent that." Miroko yelled.

"Oh shush it." Sango said sticking her tongue out at the lecher.

"Oh don't make me put that tongue to good use."

Kagome once again choked on her water, sitting back in the seat she groaned. "I am never inviting you two over to help me again.."

Sango laughed giving her friend a small hug "Well if you don't then how are you going to move into your new apartment?"

Kagome raised her eyebrow looking at the ecstatic girl "How do you know I am going to take the apartment?"

Sango rolled her eyes before going back over to Miroko "Because.." she paused getting comfy next to Miroko "moving out is the best thing to do. If you stay here you will only be miserable."

"Wow way to be heavy" Kagome muttered.

Sango sighed "Kagome we have been friends since we could talk, our mothers were friends, and we have been practically sisters since forever. I am only looking out for you. I tried to sugar coat this so many times and it only made me realize that unless you were hit with a hard truth you weren't going to go through with this."

Kagome looked at her friend her face flushing instantly.

"I'm sorry kaggy but I won't get any easier unless you push yourself. You've been doing good so far but trudging to work every day and eating again is only the start of what you have to do."

Kagome sighed heavily taking a big gulp of her drink, she knew Sango was right, she just wish she wasn't.

"Anyway, lets change the subject to something happy please?" Miroko begged.

"Yeah, how is Ayame?" Sango chirped feeling her mood turn happy again at the thought of their friend.

"She wasn't there, apparently she was on some kind of personal trip, so I had to see another agent." Kagome said.

"Oh really? Who?"

"This guy named Inuyasha" Kagome shrugged "At first he made me nervous but he wasn't all to bad. He has a bit of an ego but he really is nice." She smiled the heat finding its way into her cheeks.

Miroko laughed giving Sango a slight nudge "I don't believe it."

Kagome frowned looking at the two as they exchanged glances. "What?"

"You got stuck with my best friend as your real estate agent? Wow this is just amazing. And he wasn't bad?" Miroko was practically falling off the couch laughing. Kagome twitched slight 'what did he mean by that?'

"He was very nice when I met him" Sango retorted glaring at Miroko.

"Yeah but come on. For someone like Kagome I would expect he would be flirting with her non-stop" He smirked.

"Why?" Kagome asked.

Miroko paused his laughter looking at the girl, her face was full of intent, she wasn't gonna let him get away with avoiding this question and he knew it.

"Well it's just, Inuyasha and I have known each other since we were really young. But the guy isn't the brightest bulb. He likes to bring home girls like a pack of gum, chew them up, then blow them into a bubble till they pop. Don't get me wrong he is a really nice guy, but he hasn't held a relationship for more than a month. Mainly because of his temper. He is also possessive. But some girls like that. Anyway, I am surprised he didn't try and get you into bed with him." Miroko clasped his hand over his mouth staring at Kagome.

Kagome's head was tilted downwards now as she stared at her feet "Oh...well."

"Kagome he is a great guy believe me. He just never found that girl that was it for him ya know? I think he will turn around when he does though. I seriously can't believe you don't remember him though." Miroko said shaking his head.

"Remember him from where?" Kagome asked.

"Our wedding" Sango chimed in "He's the one who got drunk and then asked the DJ if he could sing Karaoke then took the microphone and sang 'Never gonna give you up'.."

Kagome thought for her moment, her eyes widen when she realized she did remember that moment.

Not only that but he was wearing a stupid hat that day too!

"Miroko! What is with that hat he is always wearing?" She asked her body lurching at the edge of her seat.

Miroko's face went pale for a split second before he cleared his throat "Um..that's something Inuyasha should tell you, not me.."

From the tone of his voice Kagome knew he wasn't gonna tell her, even if she tortured him by hanging him from his thumbs.

Damn, and she was already to hear his screams too.

"Okay Kagome that is the last of the kitchen stuff, boxes are all labeled. So can we go home now?" Miroko whined leaning against the door way.

"No way! Not until you guys pay your debt for doing the nasty on my guest bed!" She yelled turning towards him. His mouth seemed to quiver a bit before turning into a huge grin.

"Oh come on Kaggy!" He said mimicking Sango's voice.

Kagome opened her mouth to scream at him, when a knock on the door stopped her for a second. 'I haven't ordered the take out yet...and I'm not expecting anyone'

Miroko's smile widened as Kagome passed him to open the side door of the house. When she did open it, it took everything in her body not to gawk.

Because standing in front of her, was the man who made her day. Inuyasha.

Only this time she actually noticed him more than a blob, she noticed the muscles that were clearing suffocated by his buttoned now shirt, and his black slacks that made him look that much hotter.

Overall Kagome was shocked she wasn't drooling.

"Uh hi.." He said looking at Kagome. He was sure she was going to pass out bu the way her face suddenly went pale.

"What..are you doing here?" She muttered.

"Miroko texted me saying you were holding him hostage and that he needed help...I told him every man for himself, then he told me you guys were gonna get Ramen for dinner. Who could say no to that?" He smirked, and now Kagome saw how enchanting it really was.

"Oh um...okay well come on in.." she said backing away from the door. She turned to Miroko her eyes blazing with embarrassment as Inuyasha shut the door.

"So when are we ordering the Ramen?" He asked turning towards her.

Her lips had suddenly went numb, why she didn't know. All she could do was give a small shrug of her shoulders. He smiled and nodded "Well as long as I am here I might as well give a hand.." He said walking over to Miroko.

Kagome stared for a moment before finally letting herself breathe again.

She wasn't surprised she already started plotting 5 new ways to kill Miroko.

When Kagome came into the kitchen ten minutes later she swore Miroko only had 5 minutes to live.

CRASH!

Make that 30 seconds...

She clenched her fists staring at the two boys who were fighting on the floor, Inuyasha clearing had more strength than Miroko, but Miroko was cunning. It took one blow to the chest though to send Miroko running for the hills. When he ran past Kagome he swore half of his body went limp from the anger pouring out of her. The best part of it all was he left Inuyasha on the floor to take all the blame.

Kagome walked over to the broken plate picking up the pieces, her gaze never leaving Inuyasha.

"Sorry about that.." He whispered shame overcoming his features.

She didn't say anything, she just picked up all the pieces and tossed them into the garbage before turning away.

"Awe come on Kaggy, don't give me the silent treatment." He mumbled.

She froze turning her head to look at him over her shoulder "What did you call me?"

He gulped before speaking again "Uh..Kaggy?"

She turned to look at him her face bright red, he couldn't tell if it was from anger or if she was upset, all he knew for sure was she was gonna kill him. And from the way Miroko had talked about her earlier he knew she would make it look like an accident.

"Don't ever call me that again!" She yelled her fists clenched.

"Whoa whoa calm down okay?" he said in a soothing voice. He was standing now trying to get closer to her but the way she kept herself made his mind tell him to not do that.

"No you don't get to call me that! Even Miroko doesn't! Only Sango can, got it?!" She yelled.

His expression became stern as he watched the girl "Okay fine but you don't have to get so angry it was a mistake ya know?"

"Oh I didn't huh?!" She yelled again.

"No, you didn't" he said his voice as serious as before. Kagome paused for a moment, the clouds in her mind vanishing as she stared at the man in front of her. 'Why had she gotten so angry that he called her kaggy?' she thought.

'because Kouga use to call you that..' another voice stated. Her body perched up at the other voice.

'but Sango calls me that all the time...why wouldn't I get angry with her..?'

'because Sango is a girl Your best friend. You barely know Inuyasha..' the voice said practically fading into a whisper.

Kagome's eyes seemed to shift back and forth between Inuyasha in the floor. The man was now shifting uneasily in his place.

She let out a heavy sigh before landing her gaze back on him "Your right..I'm sorry.." She whispered.

His eyes soften as he flashed her a weak smile. "It's okay."

She had expected him to return the apology, after all he should have checked to make sure it was alright to call her Kaggy..Although she felt a bit annoyed she couldn't help but smile back.

The way his hat twitched when ever he smiled made her think he was more than adorable.

Wait, his hat was twitching again!

Maybe she wasn't so crazy after all...
