ramble and ON WITH THE STORY!!! Happy reading!

Chapter
3: What Was That?

Kagome
was at a loss for words for a few moments, eyes wide and blinking,
mouth hanging open. In short, she must have looked pretty darn
stupid. Then, snapping out of her shock, she asked the one
question that was on her mind at that moment.

“What
are you all doing here?” Then, realizing how rude she
must have sounded, she shook her head, laughed nervously and offered
more politely, “Uh sorry, that was rude...But uhm...hello.”
She sighed and blushed, looking into two pairs of
amber eyes, one of which held a little mirth, while the other held
what looked like an apology.

It
was one thing to watch old friends from afar but it was another to
have them suddenly walk up to your door step and bring a whole lot of
their friends with them...especially when you haven't talked to them
for...more than just a few years.

But
she was ready to forgive; they probably had a reason and she was
ready to listen. The girl smiled warmly and said softly,
“Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha...it's good to see you two
again...properly anyways. Come in, please, all of you.”

She
stood to the side, allowing the group to enter while they, one by
one, smiled at her and offered their thanks. The two brothers and one
surly looking Bankotsu stayed behind, probably hoping to have a word
with her.

Inuyasha
opened his mouth to speak but much to his annoyance, his brother cut
in first. “Forgive us for this intrusion, Higurashi.
However this was more intended as a...visit to a
friend.” He said all this with a soft smile in his eyes and
Kagome melted under that gaze. Those amber eyes of Sesshoumaru rarely
had any warmth...but that was because they always reserved it for
her, ever since she was younger he always looked at her like that.

Kagome
mock frowned and pouted. “Sesshoumaru...so serious. But it's
good to see you, you too Inuyasha.” She then noticed a pair of
cerulean eyes upon her and took this chance to tell the Turomiki
brothers to enter. However, she did not miss the warning whisper
Inuyasha hissed to his friend.

“Don't
try anything.”

After
they entered, Kagome turned her attention to the braided boy who was
currently the object of her distaste. She raised a brow and asked,
“Are you scared that I'm going to bite?”

He
snorted. “I'd bite you before you get the chance to.”

Brown
eyes narrowed as she said in a sinister tone. “Oh, I'm
sure you would. But anyway...would you like
to tell me why there is an enormous group of people currently in my
house?”

He
seemed to ponder for a moment. “Because A: You invited them in,
B: You were too good to NOT be polite and C:...You're what some
people would call a nice person.” A wicked grin appeared
on his well-refined features. “Am I wrong?”

This
earned him a reluctant, amused smile from the girl in front of him.
As much as she didn't want to admit it, he was
pretty funny and he was right for the first two answers. “You're
making fun of me, aren't you?”

Looking
as innocent as someone who's not innocent can be, he said
dramatically, “Me? Why I could never do such a thing.”

“Whatever.
Get in before I slam the door in your face.”

She
stepped aside for him but before he walked past her and into the
house, he said with a smirk, “For the record though, I do
like your lingerie.”

He
scooted past with a laugh before she could whack him, though, and the
girl growled angrily, closing the door with a bang. She
walked through to find that they had all gathered in her living room
and were walking around, looking at the various pictures on the walls
and on the table. Ayame, Sango and Kikyo were laughing at a picture
of her and Inuyasha while the boy was glaring at them, telling them
that it was a long time ago and he was young and a little clumsy.

Turning
away from the girls, the hanyou called out, “Oi! Kagome! Got
anything to drink? I'm thirsty!”

Rolling
her eyes, the girl said, “Hai, hai. I'll get them, though I'm
assuming you all want one too right?”

Her
answer was a loud round of “Yes.” And so she grabbed the
hanyou by the arm and pulled him into the kitchen, despite all his
protests. “Lemme go wench!”

“I
thought I told your friend this. The name's Kagome, Dog-boy.”

Once
they reached the kitchen, Kagome rounded on him and smirked. “You
remember where the cups are right? Get them for me will you?”

“Not
if my life depends on it.” He looked at her and grinned. “You
haven't changed much have you?”

Pulling
out a two jugs of homemade lemonade from the fridge, Kagome laughed,
“Well, I'm more mature than last time. I'm not much of an
annoying little bug anymore-”

“Oh
I think you still are,” he cut her off, scoffing.

“Oh
really now? And you're still the same insufferable jerk I knew all
those years ago!” He glared at her while she stuck out her
tongue.

“Feh!
Think whatever you want,” he snapped, turning around and
folding his arms. He hadn't done that in front of
her in a very long time.

This
little gesture brought a nostalgic smile to her face. It made her
want to cry, seeing how he still sulked when he didn't get his way
with her. Before they knew it, she had walked up to him from
behind and put his arms around him, causing him to jump and stiffen.

“I've
missed you, baka.” She hugged him, smiling all the while. “I'm
glad you finally came and talked to me.” He relaxed, turning
back and giving her a softened look.

“Me
too.”

They
arrived back in the living room a few minuted later, both visibly
content and relaxed. “We can go sit outside in the backyard.
Kaede-chan is a little strict about the neatness of our house.”
The group walked into the backyard, most marveling at the size and
beauty of it. A large tree grew to one side, it was crooked
and old, carrying many branches, ideal for climbing, and all around
were flowerbeds of wild and bright colours.

They
each took their fill of lemonade and chatted amongst each other, all
of which completely oblivious to the question on her mind; why they
were here. Was it because Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru wanted to see her
and ended up inviting the rest of them over? Well geez! At
least give the girl some warning! Kagome smiled when the three other
girls came up and sat by her.

“We're
sorry for the short notice, Kagome. We probably shouldn't have
all decided to come.” Sango apologized, looking
sheepish.

“Yes.
We'll be sure to call next time,” Kikyo stated smoothly,
looking in the direction of the boys.

The
wolf girl was too busy looking around with a huge smile on her face.
“I can't believe you live here! It's beautiful! It's
big...but...homey, too. Our house is nothing like
that. It's just...a big old, cold, mansion with goodness knows how
many rooms, some of which I haven't even seen.”

The
raven haired girl laughed and shook her head. “It doesn't have
to be cold you know. Put in a few touches of yourself around and
it'll be as homey as anything. I like to find my own living space
around, some place that's just for myself. Like an
attic...though you have to be careful of spiders. They
tend to stick around up there.”

They
sat in comfortable silence before Kagome began to fidget. “What's
on your mind?” Kikyo asked, without even looking at her.

The
girl blushed at this and was greeted with three pairs of expectant
eyes. “Ano...what exactly did you all come here for?”

Ayame
and Sango laughed at this, Kikyo just sporting a small smile. “It
was Inuyasha and Bankotsu. The old jerk was complaining about you and
how you fought with him this afternoon. Inuyasha, I expect,
probably just wanted to see you again. He told us
you were old friends and I guess he just thought that this was the
time for you to meet up again. And he probably thought
Bankotsu might be able to settle the score between you and him. Quite
funny actually,” the wolf filled in, her beautiful green eyes
glittering.

Kagome
blushed and lowered her head. “I did get a little out of line
today didn't I?”

“Pfft!
No way, Bankotsu deserved it! Could you please use that
magic on the others?” the Taijiya exclaimed.

By
this time, they were walking around the garden, admiring the flowers
and taking in the last days of the glorious weather. All of a sudden,
there was a shout and a rustle of running and a very loud bark.
Kagome whipped around just in time to be knocked to the ground, a
huge object on top of her.

“Whoa!”
the girl exclaimed as the wind was knocked out of her.

“Shit
that thing's gonna hurt her!” she heard one of the boys shout.
A few started running towards her but stopped when
Kagome started laughing.

“Ahaha.
Awww, Momo, don't worry, they're not going to hurt me.” The
huge dog was standing over her protectively, growling fiercely at
anyone who dared to venture close enough. The dog looked down at her,
concern evident in her dark brown eyes.

“Yes
I'm sure, don't worry, they're fine, they wont hurt us. Now please
get off, I can't breathe.” The girl laughed and got up, hugging
her rotweiller and giving her a big kiss on the head.

She
stood up looking at everyone, smiling and saying, “Everyone,
I'd like you to meet Momo. Don't worry, she wont bite...unless you
give her reason to.”

The
dog just growled at the group, looking at each and every one of them
warily. They had calmed down somewhat, though, as they sat down
again, they did keep shooting glances at the huge animal who had
placed herself under the tree, keeping a watchful eye on her
mistress.

&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&

“Hey,
Inuyasha...is that thing going to eat us?” the blue-eyed boy
asked his long time friend, inkling away from the big dog.

A
silvery brow rose as Inuyasha looked at his friend, the look clearly
saying, 'Are you stupid?'

“If
he does, I'll kill it for your revenge-” But he was cut off by
a painful tug on his furry ears, followed by a painful shout.

“Oh
no you wont! And Momo's a girl by the way. And if you touch
her or her babies...when she has them, that is, you won't live
another full moon!” the brown eyed girl warned. She
quite surprised Bankotsu, this morning he was the victim and it was
funny how she changed so quickly. To his dismay, he rather
despised this, muttering under his breath,

“Well,
she obviously enjoys changes.”

“Ouch!
Get off of me, wench, or I'll rip your throat out!” the
hanyou shouted, gripping her wrist tightly.

“I'm
sure you will,” she muttered, letting go and walking away.

To
infuriate the blue-eyed boy even further, his other friend had to
say, “Damn, dog-boy, if I could get some of that I'd be the
happiest wolf on the Earth!”

“Feh!
Like you'd enjoy having some chick tug on your ears all the time!”

“That's
why you just grab her and start showing her some tugging!”
Kouga laughed, slapping Bankotsu on the back. The
other boy just scowled and turned away.

His
brothers noticed this and smirked, having a silent conversation with
each other. Suikotsu nodded, snorting as he looked at Bankotsu's sour
face. “Hey, brother! Why the sulking face?”

Green
eyes met dark blue in a clash of moods. “Don't mess with
me, Suikotsu,” he warned.

His
brother just draped an arm over his shoulders and asked, “Don't
worry about chicks like her. I'm sure there are plenty of others
who'll gladly take her place and give you some real loving.” To
Suikotsu's enjoyment, the look on his brother's face only darkened.

“Why
are you yelling at me for? Yell at your guardian! She's the
one who made this bloody thing so sweet!”

The
shout brought everyone's attention to a couple who were currently
glaring at each other. It was bright golden orbs versus dark
brown ones and no one had to guess who'd win this one.

“Well
you didn't have to spit it out did you?” Kagome asked, rather
annoyed. “And you got it right on Kikyo's white shirt. Kami
knows what else has been in that fanged mouth of yours!”

“Shut
up bitch, my mouth is cleaner than yours!” he snarled.

Throughout
this whole argument, a certain braided boy was watching with little
amusement. He scowled at the scene; the two were too close for his
comfort.

“Humpf!
The same goes for your swearing doesn't it? Come on Kikyo,
I'll help you get it cleaned up,” she said more softly to the
tall Miko, who was currently looking at Inuyasha with narrowed eyes.

As
the two walked away, a green eyed boy took this chance to
accidentally spill his own lemonade down his brother's shirt, causing
said brother to let out a yelp at the coldness of the drink. “What
the hell! Suikotsu you idiot!” He stood up, dripping wet.

“Geez,
it's only lemonade, go get it washed, it's not going to kill you,”
his other brother, Jakotsu, said lazily.

“Ah!
Fuck you all!” he said angrily, stomping inside, leaving
the boys to snicker as he left.

“Someone's
pretty angry today, ain't he?” Ayame grinned, sitting
next to Kouga who just snorted and nodded his head.

“I'll
be surprised if his mood only gets worse if he doesn't have another
fight with that girl,” Jakotsu yawned, stretching out.

“Hm.
He seemed pretty pissed when she spent all that time just now with
Inuyasha,” Renkotsu offered, smirking deeply.

“Feh!
What of it? He can have the wench...after I make sure he dies a
thousand deaths first.”

Sango
turned to him and smiled softly. “You're being very protective.
You've seen her, Kagome's not a little girl. She'll be fine with us.
We're not that bad you know? And neither is Bankotsu.”

“Wise
words from a wise and beautiful woman-” the Monk-in-training
said calmly, only to be cut off with a slap to the face.
Unfortunately, his hands had gone to places where they were
unwanted...again.

“How
many times do I have to tell you Miroku? Don't touch me!”

The
Taijiya was glaring daggers at the violet-eyed boy and if looks could
kill...he'd have died a million times by now. “It's this darned
hand of mine; it can't seem to get enough of you, Sango my dear!”
was the Monk's defense.

“And
this hand can't seem to get enough of your cheek, can it Miroku?”
Sango huffed and moved to sit by Sesshoumaru who regarded the
scene without much enthusiasm.

“It
amazes me that however many times the Taijiya inflicts pain on the
Monk, he continually violates her,” the dog youkai said without
any emotion.

Ayame
laughed and patted his arm. “He's a masochist, not to mention a
lover of any touch she gives him.”

“Interesting,
yet stupid,” he replied, turning away. A
loud dog bark confirmed the lot that Momo thought so too.

%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&

“There,
all gone,” Kagome chirped happily.

Kikyo
regarded her shirt, satisfied at its cleaner state. “Thank
you, you're very kind.”

“No
problem, I'll just clean up in here, you go on down.”

As
the tall girl left the bathroom, her eyes met a blue pair as the
owner leaned against the banister boredly. She smiled knowingly and
nodded to him, walking past, whispering softly, “Enjoy the
short time you have with her.”

Snorting
and pushing himself up straight, he walked into the bathroom. It
wasn't big, holding only a small shower compartment, a sink and a
toilet. It was tiled in white, with a light bulb hanging from the
ceiling, the string hanging next to it. It cast an orange-like
glow around the place. He watched as Kagome washed a cloth in the
sink, inwardly laughed when she looked up and jumped with a shriek,
noticing him in the mirror.

Turning
around, she hissed angrily, “You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Don't sneak up on me like that!”

Rolling
his eyes, he walked up to her and looked down at his shirt. “A
little help with the shirt?”

She
looked down and raised a brow. “Are you always this clumsy?
That's a lot of drink on it.”

“I
know, now are you gonna help or not?” he snapped, thoroughly
irritated.

Brown
eyes narrowed dangerously. “Well excuse me, Mr.
I-Can-Yell-At-The-Person-Who's-Helping-Him! A
little please and thank you won't hurt!” She threw the
wet cloth at him and pushed past.

Groaning
inwardly in frustration, the boy grabbed her wrist and held her back,
looking straight ahead, not even turning back. “Please? And
thank you,” he murmured.

Pushing
her hair back, she turned back to him. When he dared to look at her,
he noticed a smug look of satisfaction. “Of course. One
thing I need to ask though, why do people wear white when they know
it'll get dirty?”

He
shrugged, saying fully, “Because they know they'll look
good in it.”

A
black brow rose wryly. “Sure.”

Looking
at his shirt up and down, she shook her head. “That's one large
wet patch. You'll have to take it off.”

A
little surprised at her boldness, he nodded and began unbuttoning his
shirt as she dug through a basket for a spare t-shirt. Turning around
however, she screamed and blushed crimson, turning around and closing
her eyes. “Not in front of me!”

Bankotsu
was so taken back that he just began laughing. This only made her
blush deepen about a hundred shades and she bit her lip, squeezing
her brown orbs shut more tightly. “Don't laugh at me like that,
I'm embarrassed.”

“Of
what? Seeing a shirtless man?” he choked out, still
unable to contain his cackling. “What a
prude!”

Turning
around, she frowned, biting out, “I am not!” only to turn
sheepish again as she noticed his naked upper half. She turned around
and handed him the t-shirt from behind, “Here.”

Her
voice was quiet, like the whisper of a small child and he smiled at
it. He sauntered closer, pressing his chest against her back, making
her whimper. Blowing into her ear, he whispered, “Thanks,
babe.” Taking the piece of garment, he put
it on and handed her his other one.

The
brown-eyed girl said nothing as she soaked his piece of clothing and
cleaned it, removing any trace of yellow. Hanging
it up, over the shower curtain railing to dry, she turned around and
nodded. “It'll take a while to dry. I can give it to you
tomorrow.”

Tilting
his head up, he scoffed and said, “I'll wait.”

“But
your friends might leave bef-”

“Let
them go.”

“But
you might get bor-”

Rolling
his eyes, he fixed her with a pointed look which clearly said, 'Drop
it already.'

Frowning
slightly, Kagome agreed, nodding her head. She moved past him,
heading back down without a backwards glance, sighing in frustration
at the stubbornness of the boy. Bankotsu just smirked and followed
her, taking in the shape of her body from the back. He had to admit,
for someone who wasn't smitten with her, he enjoyed watching her hips
sway, her long legs move and her hair bounce up and down.

It
was like a dance to him. A very feminine yet boyish twist,
usually resulting in dark brown glares, scowls and harsh comebacks
from the dancer, but it was entertaining, if not a little humiliating
towards him since he ended up the loser twice in a row.

The
girl suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning around and fixing him
with a shrewd look. “Stop it, will you?”

Raising
a brow, he scowled and asked, “Stop what exactly?”

“Looking
at my arse! I don't really like people putting their eyes on
private places,” she huffed.

“Right,
then would you rather I use my hands instead? Or what about my-”

“You
keep your body parts to yourself Braid Boy or I swear by the graves
of my ancestors I will chop them off...slowly.” Her
growl ignited something in him that sent an odd feeling throughout
his whole body. It was like a shiver, yet a warm one. He
quirked a smile and looked down at the smaller girl in front of him,
leaning down.

Kagome
noticeably stiffened at this and her eyes widened. “What
do you think you're doing?” she breathed, frantically.

Blue
eyes roamed over her features, small on a squarish, yet gentle face.
Her features were sweet to him, more so than beautiful. She reminded
him of some lost soul in his memory...someone from a very long time
ago. But what drew him to her at that moment were her eyes.
They were hard and fiery, sparkling with an unseen
emotion, dulled by another. “Kagome?” he asked
softly.

Looking
warily up at him, she replied, “Yes?”

Her
soft voice was rather soothing to his ears after all her yelling.
“You...thank you.” And then, not knowing what had
compelled him to do so, he kissed her on the cheek.
