InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Boulevard of Broken Dreams ❯ Boulevard of Broken Dreams ( Chapter 1 )

Inuyasha, or Inuyasha Taisho as he's called now, stood in front of the jewelry store eyeing a beautiful princess cut diamond engagement ring. After 500 years of living alone, 500 years of watching the world change, friends and family die at the hands of others, he found the one girl who he thought would complete his soul. Sure she was human, but he never held that against her. True humans killed his big brother Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, when he was weakened in battle. They took it as their opportunity to kill the one that protected them from the demon from the main land.

 

Shaking hi head to clear the painful memory if watching his brother die, laughing at the irony, since they had just started to get along, he enters the store. He took the day away from the office of the Construction and Architecture Company he owned, deciding to surprise his girlfriend of 3 years, Kikyo Tama.

 

He had planned it out perfectly, first he would buy the ring, then he would go home and place rose petals drawing and arrow to the dining room, where dinner would be waiting. After the roses he would start cooking a romantic dinner, complete with dessert and a surprise.

 

After leaving the jewelry store and stopping at the florist, he heads home. As he pulls into the driveway, he notices something's off, something just doesn't smell right. Crinkling his nose in disgust, he slowly and quietly opens the front door, hoping his worst fear would not be realized.

 

As he crept slowly through the living room and up the stairs, soft moans reach his sensitive ears. Reaching the top of the stairs, he tries to relax, deciding that he won't kill her, yet. Grabbing the door knob, he slowly opens the bed room door to a sight that stops his heart. Kikyo and his soon to be ex best friend!!

 

He watches as Onigumo ravages the body of the woman he swore would be his mate. Inuyasha decides to just swallow his pride and let them know he was there, he could stand the sight. Pushing the door open, he steps inside:

 

“Ahem” Inuyasha clears his throat

 

“Oh hi Inuyasha” Onigumo says with a lazy smile as Kikyo rushes to cover up her body.

 

“Please don't bother covering up” Inuyasha sneers

 

“But, Yashie baby, I'm so sorry” Kikyo says trying to sound ashamed

 

“You're not sorry, I want you gone by the time I get back so I can burn that bed” he says turning to leave.

 

“But Inuyasha … baby? I …” Kikyo starts but is cut off

 

“Don't bother Kikyo. Take all your shit when you go. I'm starting a bonfire when I get back with anything that's left. Now, unless you want me to RIP YOUR THROAT OUT!” he yells then relaxes a bit “I suggest you let me leave”

 

 

As soon as he starts to leave again, Kikyo opens her mouth again to protest and call him back but Onigumo slaps a hand over her mouth, shaking his head no.

 

“I want to live to see tomorrow” Onigumo gasps out in whispers

 

Hearing the words that left his ex best friend's lips, Inuyasha smiles as he walks down the stairs and out to his car. Getting into the car and turning the key, he hears the intro to his favorite Green Day song, “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”.

 

“Now this is a song I can relate to” he sighs and starts to think back.

 

I walk a lonely road

The only one that I have ever know

Don't know where it goes

But it's only me and I walk alone

 

Inuyasha remembers when he was a child sitting on his mother's knee as she told him what a great demon his father was, and how he laid down his life to save theirs.

 

I walk this empty street

On the Boulevard of broken dreams

Where the city sleeps

And I'm the only one and I walk alone

 

He still remembered the day his mother was murdered and he was driven away from the only home he could remember. It was a nice village but the kids teased him and the adults threw things at him. But it was still home.

 

I walk alone

I walk alone

 

I walk alone

I walk a…

 

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me

Till then I walk alone

 

He remembered what it was like being a little hanyou, not accepted by humans or demons, chased by all, damn near killed or tortured by them. He used to have to steal for food and get beaten when caught.

 

I'm waling down the line

That divides me some where in my mind

ON the border line

Of the edge and where I walk alone

 

“Damn Sesshomaru” he mutters as he remembers how his only living relative, denied him for years. When he was a pup, he wanted his brother to care for him since he didn't have anyone else. But his brother wanted nothing to do with a “worthless half breed” like him. So he spent years belonging to no where, to no family, to no clan. Wanted and loved by no one.

 

Read between the lines

What's fucked up and everything's alright

Check my vital sign

To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

 

Then finally when Sesshomaru accepted him, finally wanted him to be a part of his family, he's killed. Murdered by the damn humans he decided to protect. The one day Sesshomaru decides to grow a heart and care for a human other than Rin, he got himself weakened and murdered. And he couldn't do a damn thing to help him out. Someone slapped a ward to his back, forcing him to watch.

 

It was Rin who finally released him with tears in her eyes. It was she who told him exactly what happened to him and why Sesshomaru was killed. He vowed to care for Rin until she didn't need him anymore.

 

Listening to the chorus before the song ended he thought back to when Rin told him that she wouldn't leave his side. That she would be his retainer, since he inherited the Western Lands from his brother at long last. She said that she never left Sesshomaru's side, so she would never leave his. That he would never be lonely again. And he wasn't, until the day Rin died.

 

By that time the era of the Taiyoukai had ended and the human villages expanded pushing demons in the background of the world's events. Watching time pass by, 400 years he waiting, slowly building a small fortune. He hated having to pin his ears to the top of his head so the humans wouldn't figure out what he was.

 

He finally thought he found a girl, a human girl, who accepted him for who and what he was. He thought she was something special. He even decided to do a “human wedding” for her. And this is how she treats him. She betrayed him!

 

“The little whore” he thinks and he drives back to his office

 

Now he's alone again. Vowing to never pursue another woman, especially not a human. Suddenly the phone starts ringing; looking at the caller ID he realizes it's his ex whore, Kikyo.

 

“What do you want wench?” Inuyasha snaps answering the phone

 

“Inuyasha please listen to me, it was an accident” Kikyo pleads

 

“What' did you accidentally fall on his penis? Didn't you think I could smell it? What do you want bitch?” he retorts

 

“Please baby, don't kick me out. It won't happen again.” She says crying

 

“Bitch please, get your shit out of my house” he says rolling his eyes

 

 

Arriving at his office, he hangs up on Kikyo and shuts off his phone, for some quality alone time.
