The Boy Who Overcame Time
Chapter 3

"I still can't believe you dumped Hojo." Eri said from her spot by the window. She with Ayume and Yuka had been friends with Kagome since Junior High now they shared an apartment in a nice section of town. Everyone was sure that Kagome would marry Hojo, he had been her steady guy since then. With the exception of, as Kagome herself described him, that rude, arrogant, selfish, two timer they had never met.

Kagome just shrugged. Her room mates just didn't understand. How could Hojo hope to compare with someone who waited a thousand years for you. Someone who had saved your life more times than you could count. Someone who made your heart race just by being in the same room. It had only been one week since Inu Yasha had shown up at the park. One wonderful week of dinners, theaters, movies, and long walks. He'd told her last night to pack up her old backpack and be ready.

Her call to Hojo the following day hadn't gone well at all. She hadn't told Inu Yasha but Hojo had frightened her the way he had been going on. She had finally had to hang up on him. He had tried to call several times since then, if you call once an hour on the hour several.

"Oh my god he's gorgeous." Eri's attention was riveted to something outside.

"Who? Where?" Ayume and Yuka asked almost in unison rushing towards the window.

"That guy, black leather by that silver motorcycle." Eri pointed. "Damn, no man has the right to look that scrumptious."

"Ok mine!" They all said, followed quickly by a trio of voices. "Shoes!" "Where are my shoes? "Poor guy looks lost."

Kagome smirked and went to look out the window, she had a feeling she knew who they were looking at. Sure enough there was Inu Yasha standing by a motorcycle with helmet in hand looking at the paper in his hand. She tapped the glass and he instantly turned and looked up, a smile lit his face as he waved to her. "No girls, to quote a song, The Boy Is Mine." She turned and grabbed the yellow backpack. "Gotta go, see you Sunday night."

"Hold it girl." All three left the window to surround her. "You aren't going anywhere till you tell us the whole story of how you met Mr. Drop Dead Gorgeous, and if he has a brother."

"Yes he does have an older half-brother. Details to follow, on Sunday." She shouldered her way past them and opened the door. There he stood hand raised to knock on the door, black jeans that looked poured on, black tank top emphasizing every muscle in his chest, the black leather jacket was almost too much. Her mouth went dry, she suddenly found herself remembering to breathe. His silver hair pulled back in the ever present ponytail. Her eyes drank him in. 'God' she thought 'he should have worn black more often.' "I'm ready."

"Great, let's get going. Here let me carry that." He took the backpack from her and threw it over his shoulder. She smiled at the familiar action.

"Ummm Kagome aren't you going to introduce us to your friend?" Eri called sweetly.

"Eri, Ayume, and Yuka this is Miroku." She would never get use to introducing him as Miroku but he had insisted, and even shown her his drivers license to prove he was using the monks name. "Miroku this is Eri, Ayume and Yuka."

"Nice to meet you ladies." Pleasantries over he turned back to Kagome, "Shall we..."

"Miroku, why don't you sit down and visit for a while." Ayume purred at him as she led him away from Kagome and into the apartment.

"Yes, we don't know a thing about you." Yuka cooed taking the backpack from his hand, handing it back to Kagome.

Inu Yasha looked over his shoulder at Kagome, his eyes begging for rescue. She didn't disappoint him. She looped her arm through his and steered him back towards the door, pausing to grab the stuffed backpack. "Bye roomies see ya Sunday." She called shutting the door behind them.

"Thanks. I didn't want to be rude or anything. So you ready to go?"

"Sure am. So where are we going." She noticed his slight blush. 'Still, my shy hanyou.'

"Well first I thought you might like to visit Sango and Miroku's graves. Then maybe do a little trip down memory lane. Sound good to you?"

"Sure does."

"Besides I think we need to get out of town. Hojo has been following you and I can't exactly protect you my way in Tokyo."
