Kagome stood shivering at the front door and hopped from one leg to the other. She rang again. Nothing.
The girl sighed and stared up at the cloudy sky. "Looks like snow," she muttered, rubbing her upper arms with her hands to keep herself warm. The wind lashed her face and she pulled up her scarf.
While Kagome waited for her family, she dug her cell phone out of her jacket pocket and dialed Sango's number. Hopefully she wasn't angry about it anymore, after all she had to wait 40 minutes and then she and Miroku didn't come. She was torn from her thoughts when Sango answered.
"Hi Sango."
"Hey Kagome, are you back in front of the door?" She asked and you couldn't fail to hear that she was gleeful.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter," she said indifferently, "that's why I'm on TV."
"Oh, they interviewed you?" Sango asked in astonishment. "Which channel is this coming on?"
"They'll probably be broadcasting that tomorrow on TV Tokyo."
"Oh .. well, I wanted to tell you something else. You know Inuyasha right?"
Confused, Kagome replied: "Sure, the outsider. What about him? Did you meet him at the club?"
"Yes, I did, he came to me and we talked a little. I'm his girlfriend now."
"You're his girlfriend?", Kagome laughed, "just like that? And what about Miroku?"
"Of course not his 'steady' girlfriend. A normal one. Besides, Miroku's nothing goes, okay?", Sango explained.
"But he disagrees. He says that there is 'spark' between you and that you only protest when he 'touches' you because you don't want him to think you are easy to get."
They both started giggling.
"To get back to the topic: why did you decide that the outsider would be your new friend?" Asked Kagome.
"Because I feel sorry for him and he's a half-demon. You know how much they get annoyed. And please don't call him an outsider, you don't know him at all!", Sango defended him.
"Yes, I'm sorry. You, my mother is here, I'll get back to you later, then we can arrange a meeting with Inuyasha. Okay?"
"Gladly! See you later!"

Somewhat later:

Sango and Kagome had made an appointment for tomorrow, and the demon hunter had been trying to reach Inuyasha for 10 minutes. Maybe he's asleep already? she thought and hung up when only the mailbox answered. She made herself very comfortable in front of the TV and immersed herself in her favorite series.
An hour later her cell phone rang, it was Inuyasha.
"S-Sango?" He asked her uncertainly and you could hear music and voices in the background, probably he was working.
"Inuyasha! Are you working?"
"Um, yes. What did you want?"
Sango laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hold you back from your work any longer. Miroku, Kagome and I wanted to go to the cinema tomorrow, are you coming with me? Say yes! Please!"
Inuyasha hesitated, after all, the two just knew each other from a 20-minute conversation! Besides, he didn't even know Miroku and Kagome.
"You don't have to, if you don't want to. I just thought you would enjoy socializing ...", Sango said in the middle of his thoughts.
'Great, now she's trying to manipulate me too,' thought Inuyasha. "Well, I'll come with you. When exactly and where?"
The girl grinned to herself and gave him the information he wanted, then they hung up. She turned off her TV and stroked her demon cat, Kirara. "Do you think we can pair them up?"

The next day, Inuyasha woke up feeling queasy. Today he had made an appointment with the three of them and he was scared, damn scared. 'What if they're just kidding me and figuring out a plan to bring me down? 'He sighed and went to the kitchen after the morning bathroom.
"Good morning my darling!" His mother greeted him immediately.
"Mum, don't always call me that ..", he said and sat down at the table.Izayoi rolled her eyes and put a plate full of scrambled eggs in front of him. Inuyasha eyed 'it' funny and poked around with a fork. "Do you now know how to make rürhei?" He asked suspiciously and shoved a load into his mouth. "Yes, I got the recipe from the Internet. Don't you like it?" Her son had just grimaced, but now he continued to chew enthusiastically. “Sure, it tastes great!” Izayoi sighed and took the plate away from him. Inuyasha let out a sigh of relief. 'Man, not as bad as the pancakes, but still hideous. 'He got up to do something for himself.
His mother watched him do it and casually asked him what he was up to today.
"I'm meeting up with friends."
She looked at him with wide eyes. "With friends? Which ones?"
Inuyasha turned and glared at her. "Yes, with friends! I met Sango in the club, she was waiting for her friends, but they didn't come. After a while I sat down with her and we talked." Izayoi smiled at him.
"That's nice. How do you like the girl? Is she pretty?"
"Hm.", Inuyasha only made because Sesshomaru was on the way to the kitchen and he didn't want him to notice anything. He immediately entered the room and his gaze was fixed on Inuyasha. "Who are you meeting with today? Sango? Sango Nakamaru?" He only nodded in response and continued to take care of his food. "Keep your hands off her."
Confused, he turned to his half-brother, who had been watching him continuously. "What?" - "You want to keep your hands off her. Miroku Akimoto has been looking after her for years, so leave her alone.", His ice-cold look matched his voice. "I don't want anything from her, I like her friend", Inuyasha said and sat down at the table next to his mother. He shoveled his food in while Sesshomaru smeared himself some bread. He didn't want to know what his stepmother's scrambled eggs tasted like, it was enough for him to smell it."Kagome Higurashi .. Hm," he said suddenly and sat down next to his brother. "Yes, Kagome. Does she have a boyfriend?" Inuyasha asked, hoping to hear a no. His prayers would probably be answered: "No, as far as I don't know. But there are a few guys who like them ... But I usually do that."
Baff looked at Inuyasha at his brother. He took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a number.
"What did you do with my brother? He turned out so nice!"
Sesshomaru laughed and picked up the phone from the half-demon. "Hi Rin. - I'm fine, thank you, you? - I miss you too ..." He got up and went out. Izayoi smiled. 'Finally the two stand together.'

After breakfast, Inuyasha went to his room. They had a big house, you could actually call it a villa. His father owned the hottest clubs in Tokyo and the surrounding area and he liked to work at 'Insomnia' on the side. It was his favorite club because it was cozy but not boring.
While he was going up the long stairs, he decided to pick up his cell phone and talk to his brother. They got along well, even when they pretended they didn't know each other at school. Most of the time Inuyasha stood alone in the school yard, only in summer he hid in trees. He was actually a nice and funny person, but still had no friends, because either he was despised or feared.
Before Inuyasha could knock on Sesshomaru's door, he called from inside: “Come in!” He entered the room and saw his brother sitting at the desk. He must have been doing homework. Inuyasha closed the door and sat on the couch. "Sess?" He started and he grunted in response. When the half-demon stopped speaking, he turned and looked at him. "What is it? About Kagome?"
Inuyasha blushed. "Hmm .. Yes, partly too.", He exhaled, "How should I behave towards you?"
He felt sorry for his little brother the way he sat with his ears cocked to the side.He looked so ... lost. "Be completely normal and don't pretend ... Where do you want to go anyway? In the club?"
"No, to the cinema and then to a café."
"Well, that's good! You don't talk in the cinema anyway and afterwards you can talk about the film in the café."
Inuyasha nodded his thanks and then disappeared into his room with his cell phone. Sesshomaru smiled sadly. "Hopefully he'll finally find friends ..."
