InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Always By Your Side ❯ Introductions ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha, its characters or any quotes I may use.

 

A/N: It's me….AGAIN…Okay…..my wonderful mind who pays NO attention to what I want or say….has got another story.

Yeesh, you write one story and it's like the Hover Dam broke; EVERYTHING COMES FLOODING OUT!

…sighs…but I'm not complaining….Not. At. All.

Little explanation to this story; this one is going to take a COMPLETELY different path then my other stories. It is an AU, and there will most likely be OOCness. This story is actually based off of an original story I'm working on, so I am mixing my own character's personalities into the InuYasha characters. I shouldn't, I know. But that's what's so great about being a fanfic author. You can do whatever the hell you want. :)

I gave most everybody a last name; something that was somehow connected to the character. But let's be honest. They're all pretty lame….sighs again….oh well…

Uhhhhh…..I do not hate anybody from the series (except for Naraku of course), but there will be a bit of character bashing. I think. Well actually I'm not sure `cause I don't even know what would count as bashing. But anyways….

Another thing to add to the un-normalness of this. I know in the series they wear uniforms, the school has different grades, etc. …but for this story…I'm changing it. So the story is in Japan, but the school is like American-ness…I think.

I luv being an author.

I'm sure there are some other things that will seem out of place. So if you notice something tell me and I will either fix it, or explain why it is like it is.

Get it? Got it. Good.

Now I will quit my endless babbling and get on with the story.

 

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTIONS

 

Hey! My name is Sango Taijiya and I am a junior at Shikon High. The school was named after the legendary Jewel of Four Souls; rumored to be buried somewhere near the school. But that is a completely different story!

I'm here to tell you a twisted love story. It's about a girl, and a boy; who grow up together, fell in love, and didn't even know it. Of course I and my friends helped them realize this little piece of information. But not without some heartache and betrayal along the way. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let me introduce everyone, and then we can all tell you the story from the beginning.

First there is Kagome Higurashi. She is also a junior. She's my closest girlfriend and one of the few girls that don't drive me crazy. I met her at a summer camp when we were 13. So it's been about 3 years. Kagome's pretty down to earth, a fanatic about finishing school and has a big heart. She's had some dark times in her life; her father died in a car accident when she was 7. She had an older brother, but he was killed in a gang fight, right after we met actually. It was hard on her, and she doesn't talk about it. Kagome's usually got a smile on her face, but in her eyes there is a sadness that never goes away. And she never cries. Not in front of us anyways. I've asked InuYasha if she's cried in front of him; but he just frowns and tells me to mind my own business.

And that brings me to the second important person in this story.

InuYasha Taisho. He's also a junior. InuYasha and Kagome have been best friend since….forever. You hardly see one without the other. He's a bit of an arrogant ass with a quick temper and a foul mouth. But he takes care of his friends and is deeply devoted to Kagome. He plays basketball and is worshiped for it, but never lets it really get to his head. Thanks to Kagome. He's gotten into a few fights, but never throws the first punch; fighting brings up bad memories for Kagome, so he tries to avoid it as much as he can. InuYasha is also a hottie. Hmmm, that sounded weird coming from me. But it's the truth. He's got long sliver hair and the most gorgeous golden eyes. And two little white ears on top his head. Yep I said white ears. He's half dog demon. His Dog Demon father died before he was born and his Human mother shortly after. Sad really. But he had his godfather, Myoga the flea demon, to look after him. And his older half brother Sesshomaru. But that's not really saying much.

Sesshomaru Taisho. Arrogant bastard. That about sums it up really. He's a senior and plays on the football team. He and InuYasha had the same father, but they don't get along very well. Shortly after Sesshomaru was born his mother and father divorced and then his father married InuYasha's mother. Not a happy family. But as nasty as Sesshomaru and InuYasha are to each other, they do remember they are brothers and look out for each other. Sesshomaru is also on the hottie list. Good god I'm starting to sound like a fan girl. Anyways, like InuYasha, Sesshomaru has long silver hair and golden godlike eyes. But his eyes are hard and his face a cold mask. That guy does not know the meaning of “relax.” Also…NEVER ask how he plays football with that hair. Miroku said something about needing a “hair pretty” to hold his hair while he played. Good thing the school nurse doesn't charge money; that boy would be broke.

Ah yes. Miroku Houshi. Pervert extraordinaire. He's a junior, but you'd think with all the hits to the head he receives, mostly from me, he would have brain damage and be stuck on learning his ABC's. Miroku is a track runner, practical joker and a lecher. He can't keep his hands to himself nor can he be serious for too long. If you were lying on you death bed with some painful dieses he'd make a joke. But he is a good friend all in all. He wears an arm band that goes from his palm to nearly his elbow. When I first met Miroku at summer camp he explained he was in a fire when he was a child. It claimed the life of his father, and left his right hand and arm scared. He wore it to cover the damage, and as a reminder of his father. He's got a few gold earrings, got dark brown hair that pulls into a tiny ponytail at the base of his neck and violet blue eyes. He's also on the very good-looking side….but tell him I said that and you die.

Who's next?.....Oh yeah. Shippo!

Shippo Kitsune is pretty cool. He's a year younger then us, but still a junior. This kid is a genius. So of course most study parties are at his house. He's pretty naïve sometimes, but he's got a heart of gold and adores Kagome. He's a Fox Demon and loves to play tricks on InuYasha. They argue a lot, but it's unspoken they've got each other's backs. In fact that's how it's with all of us. Without even saying it, we all know; no matter who falls, someone will catch them. But I'm getting off subject again…where was I? Shippo. That's right. Okay….What else is there to tell? He's got red hair, cute green eyes and a major crush on senior Kirara Neko. Oops. Did I say that out loud? Haha…oh well. Just don't tell him I said anything. Kirara isn't an important part of the story, but she's in there once in a while. She's my older cousin and Shippo's idol. Anyways, moving on.

Kohaku Taijiya. He's my younger twin brother. He's a bit of a smart aleck, but shy when it comes to girls. He's very protective of me, and close friends; but he's been having a problem when it comes to knowing which guys are the bad guys, a.k.a. Naraku Saimyoushou. But I'll get to him later. Kohaku is a junior as well and pretty smart. He gets along with most people; except for Sesshomaru. And all because of a girl. Weird huh? Kohaku's got shaggy dark brown hair and wide dark eyes. He's my best friend and I don't know what I'd do without him.

Now on to that girl.

Rin. She was orphaned at the age of 7 and wasn't treated very well in her foster homes. Rin is a very pretty girl with long dark brown hair and light brown eyes. She's a sophomore, and has known Kagome the longest. In fact that's where she's living right now. Rin is very sweet tempered and soft spoken. She hardly ever gets angry, and if someone actually manages to rile her angry; then it's “Hell hath no fury.” She's the other girl that I don't wish to strangle on a daily basis.

She and Kohaku are close friends, but nothing more. Sesshomaru and Rin are somewhat together, so Sesshomaru doesn't like it when those two get together. But he doesn't really openly say he's with Rin. It must be a Taisho family thing to dance around the issue of saying you're in love.

NEXT!

Looks like it's my turn. Well you already know my name, what else. I've got long dark brown hair and dark eyes. I'm a tomboy and love to get down and dirty. NOT like THAT though. Perverts.

I guess that's why Kagome and I get along so well. She's not as boyish as I am, but she doesn't start drooling at the sight of boys. I am fiercely protective of my friends, and I don't let any evil deed go unpunished. Hence why Miroku is usually unconscious when I'm around. I luv volleyball and am told I talk too much. I tend to be bold and blunt out the truth. But hey if I don't say it; it'll NEVER get said. Not much else to say about me….but if you got any questions I'm sure I could answer them.

 

Well…I think I've finished with our little circle of friends. Next are the people play a part in this story.

I'll start with Ayame Niji. She's a friend of ours, but not as close. She's a senior and the cheerleading caption. She IS however one of the girl I DO wish to strangle once in a while. She's very happy, girly and gives me a headache. But her heart's in the right place, most of the time, and when you need a friend she's there. She's a Wolf Demon, so she and InuYasha tend to stay away from each other, but everyone else gets along pretty well. Ayame's got beautiful green eyes and deep red hair; she also has a MAJOR crush on Kouga Ookami. And that sometimes proves to be a strain on hers and Kagome's friendship. I'll explain.

Kouga Ookami. He's the school football quarterback, arrogant and a lady's man. He and InuYasha have hated each other ever since they learned the meaning of the word. Kagome doesn't like him either, but he's always had a fascination with her; which makes the feud between InuYasha and Kouga even worse. That and Kouga's a Wolf Demon. Guess Dogs and Wolf aren't supposed to mix. Kouga is the school heartthrob, present company excluded in that drool fest, with black hair and deep blue eyes. He's a junior, but has walked around like he owns the place since freshman year. Stupid twit.

Next is the person I loath more then I ever though humanly possible.

Naraku Saimyoushou.

He's a 17 year old senior and bad news. You name it; he's done it, or been the cause of it. I heard he just got out on parole again after assaulting a teacher; twice. He's also been giving Kohaku trouble. Which makes my blood boil. I would love to teach him a lesson, but I'm no fool and I know he's not a push-over. He's dangerous. But damn it so I am when my brother's in trouble!

Damn. Off subject again.

Naraku isn't one of those fakes that walks around thinking he's all that with nothing to back it up. He knows what he can do, and isn't afraid to do it. He's even got a few teachers afraid of him. Nothing else really to say about the bastard. I know he's a half demon, but I have no idea what.

Kagura Ryuuja. She's also a 17 year old senior. I hear she's Naraku's girlfriend, but neither are faithful to the other. We usually keep our distance from each other, no reason to intact; but I heard she's a real nasty bitch. We all lovingly refer to her and her sister as “Naraku's lackeys”. Kagura is also a Wind Demon.

Kanna Munashii. Kagura's younger step-sister and a 16 year old junior. From what I hear Kagura's mother married Kanna's father. But Kagura kept her father's name. Kanna's also known as Naraku's “spy.” She's is usually quite, but seems to know just about everything there is to know going on in the school. She gives me the creeps. And I don't know what kind of demon she is. Which creeps me out more.

Then there is Jaken Nintoujou. A 15 year old sophomore that worships the ground Sesshomaru walks on. Jaken is very geeky, but quite in handy when information is needed. Also know as the school's “Snitch.” He's an Imp Demon.

I think that's it….well except for Kikyo. But she's not really into the picture yet. But you'll find out about her soon enough.

So if you got any questions, ask.

 

And as for my friends, we all pretty much met at summer camp; except for Kagome and InuYasha of course. And now we're together through thick and thin. At least until this year. But I'm getting ahead of myself again. Now that you know about everyone, let's start.

I may not be one for romantics; but this is my far, my favorite love story.

 

A/N: I know that's not much of a start…but I wanted to get this part out of the way. Next chapter will be the real story. PLEASE REVIEW
