Living The College Life by Saiyuna-san

The Introductions

Kagome's Pov

I stood there looking at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a light blue summer dress with sakura blossom decorations. I had to admit even though I couldn't fill out the dress properly with my scrawny body, the dress did go well with the hue of my gray bluish eyes.

'My body should be more curvaceous at my age.' I sighed it really didn't matter to me I wasn't really 'dressing to impress' anyone. I sighed again "How do I get myself into these situations."

********************Flashback************************

( Still in Kagome's POV )

" Mom what are you all smiley about" I had just woke up and came down for breakfast when My mom greeted me with a smile and went into the kitchen to get the pancakes I could smell as soon as I woke up. 'I hate mornings and what's even worse than mornings are morning people'.

" Oh nothing dear I just got a call from my old friend Hikaru she invited us to her home for dinner and catching up." my mom said with the smile never leaving her face.

" Ohhh reeeeaaalyyy, how exciting." I dragged on the words to show my sarcasm while kept repeating ' I hate mornings' in my head.'

" Oh dear I'm so glad your excited." I nearly fell out of my chair. 'Am I imagining things or is my mom getting more oblivious to the world every day?'

"Okay mother..." I said trying to sound a little enthusiastic for her sake... " When are we going?" I asked as I put away the dishes I ate the pancakes from.

" Its this Saturday dear." ( it was Thursday ) I looked at the clock in the living room of the shrine and saw 7:30. ' I should get going'

"Mom I am going to get dress and I'll be leaving at 8:30 to reserve my dorm at the university." I was heading upstairs when my mom called out " Oh....I almost forgot dear yourself, Souta, and I are going shopping for your clothing for dinner." "Souta's going ?' was all I thought while I headed back for my room.

*******************End Flashback************

"Awe....Look at my little girl she's all grown up" I was caught out of my thoughts by my mom. 'Here we go again......' Since the last year of High School my mom has been having these 'moments' as I call them when she starts with tears of joy and takes a long walk down memory lane.' ( Kagome is in the summer before she starts college )

" Oh please mom..." Trying to get her of the subject I tried to make up something else for her to talk about. " Ssssoooo were is Souta?"

Sesshoumaru's POV

' Why am I doing this?' I stood up from my position on the couch in the houses library. (In this fiction Sesshoumaru doesn't hate Hikaru, Inuyasha's mother even though his father remarried after his mom died....you can say he respects her but, but he still hates Inuyasha and its not just because of the remarried thing its because he dislikes Inuyasha's attitude. ) Hikaru( Inuyasha's Mom>he calls her by her first name ) said one of her old friends Shiora ( don't know Kag mom's name or Inuyasha's, I am just making them up ) is coming over with her older daughter and younger son.

' I can put up with a lot and restrain myself but.....' Sesshoumaru almost sighed. Almost. 'But that baka will most likely be the most rude to the guest.' I looked at the mirror seeing the emotionless mask that covered my face. 'Is that how people really see me.' I could barely keep in the miserable laugh that threatened to leave my mouth.

'If they only knew what I had to go through.' With one last look in the mirror I headed back to his room.

********Kagome's Pov******

So here I am in my mom's car, as usual she's oblivious to the fact I really don't want to go. I looked over my left shoulder to check on Souta only to see him absorbed into his hand held video game.

'Such a simple mind.' I sighed 'I wish I could continue living like that.' Suddenly something sunk into my brain. " Souta, why did you bring that? It's really rude if you keep playing that at the house! Where are your manners?"

I looked at him while he looked up at me. "I just brought it just in case I get really bored. You know how mom gets with old friends, I got to be prepared for a boredom emergency."

I just sighed and looked at my mom she was just there driving with that never removable smile. I sighed again for what seemed like the millionth time this week. 'Oh yeah completely and utterly oblivious to the world around her.'

I looked straight, ahead it was 5:30 now. " Wow..." I said barely above a whisper this house...er..um...mansion is huge. As we stepped out the car I saw out of the corner of my eye Souta had the same expression as me.

When I looked over at my mom I thought no... it couldn't be.....it was imposs... yep it did. ' My mom's smile got even wider.' As we walked the pathway to the house I looked around and saw a very beautifully furnished garden.

I nearly tripped over my brother who some how got in front of me and made a sudden stop.( I Know there wasn't much description but don't worry I'll make up for it later in the story.) 'It seemed we reached the door.' I thought as I heard my mom ring the doorbell.

The doorbell was really loud since I was so close to the door. I never really told any of my friends this but I have very sensitive ears.

"Hello Lady Shiora, Hikaru-sama has been expecting all of you."

I was a bit taken aback by the servant's formalness. We went into the house and the servant led us to the living room again. 'Repetitively wow.' I think the living room is half the size of my house on the shrine.'

But my thoughts were soon interrupted by a loud shriek. "Shiooorrraaa!"

"Hiiikkkaaaruuuu!" 'Yep there goes my sensitive ears.' Hikaru led us to the two parallel couches facing each other. Souta and I sat down on one couch and Hikaru and 'Shiora' sat down on the other one.

They were talking and catching up as it seemed to me. "So Hikaru how has it be..." That was my cue to zone out of there conversation knowing they weren't going to notice Souta and I until the subject of children came up.

Looking out of the corner of my right eye I noticed it wasn't just my cue to zone out. It was also Souta's cue to pull back out his video game. I sighed. ' Souta was right about how mom gets when she meets up with old friends.'

I looked to where Hikaru was. She had long dark ebony hair. It was in a low ponytail and from what I could assume if she let it out it would fall down past her knees.

I looked over at my mom....Oh My Gosh....I nearly choked when I saw my mom. She was grinning and actually looked knowing to what was going on around her. 'Whoa' I thought to myself. 'I wish I had been paying attention to what they were saying so I would be able to know what made my mom grin.'

I looked back at Souta he seemed to be still absorbed into his video game. "Kagome!" I looked over at my mom when I finally noticed her calling me. She had her ever abundant smile back on her face. ( did I use abundant right ) 'Figures' I thought.

"Hikaru this is my daughter Kagome and my son Souta." Hikaru looked at us with kind eyes. I looked over at Souta once again to see at lightning speed he had put away his game.

To where? I have no idea. I sighed once again it was going to be a looong night.
