InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Chance ❯ Wrong Place, Wrong Time ( Chapter 1 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
A/N: I thought about this one day while trying to figure out last names for another story. Then… this came up. It's what the title says, Chance. That's what this is all about… Basically this doesn't have a plot-line. Though I do have a vague idea of what I can do with this. It's just complete randomness that could happen in everyday life.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and co.; though I do own the characters I made up.
Summary: Have you ever missed that one great opportunity, and never got it back…? Or have you ever thought a risk was simple, but it turned out to be a dangerous one? Has anything ever seemed possible but you never did take the given advantage of it at that moment…?

This is how my story starts out… about how everybody met everybody. Yeah sounds simple, right? Well, as this story continues it gets harder and more complicated. Especially with the things we all had to go through. Now, let's continue on with my story, shall we…?
-Inuyasha
Chance.
The way things turn out; the happenings of events by accidents. The fact of being possible, or just the time to take advantage of the given moment, opportunity. A simple risk or a dangerous gamble.
That's what chances are all about.
It was another simple, yet hard working day in the ER of Moshuno Hospital for Kagome. She was tending to a patient that had fallen from a set of stairs, when he came in. Him, who was causing a bit of a ruckus when he was first, wheeled in.
“Ahh! Come on! I'm okay! I don't need you're help! I'm just fine!! I'm a demon… I heal better than you lowly humans!”
Great, another stereotypical male… a demon stereotypical male… who thinks he's better than humans… just what I need. Why can't he just get the fact that we all get along and live together? It's not the Sengoku Jidai! Kagome couldn't help but heft a sigh. It was people like them that needed to either get out more or just deal with life's facts and move on. But sometimes… they were just too stubborn.
Wanting to see what kind of commotion there was Dr. Higurashi decided to check it out for herself. She finished up with her patient and bid her farewell before trudging down the busy hallway.
He seemed to be a fire demon from Kagome's line of eyesight. He didn't look to shabby; she wondered if he knew how hot he was… For his facial features he had vibrant ruby-orange eyes, and slightly spiked up blonde hair. His build was none to bad either, and from the looks of it he did know he looked damn good. Especially by the way he was trying to make up from his earlier outburst.
It seemed he had just been acquainted with Harli. She was a frequent visitor to her sick grandmother. Kagome had met her when she had found out about her cancer-driven relative. And being a cat-person Kagome knew that cats would mourn, and it was good to just let them deal with it until they were okay. And seeing how Harli kept nervously glancing around and her gradually drooping ears she decided to go help out.
(A/N: Harli is a cat demon… if you didn't get that.)
“Hey Harli, were you just leaving? Because before you go I have news on your grandmother! She's recovering quickly especially with that new antidote they've come out with to help with cancer. Oh, hello! Who are you?” Kagome explained all at once as she asked the fire demon his identity. After all, when she oh so nicely intruded on his prey's conversation his pleasant features slowly melted into a hard little glare.
“Uh yeah, that's good to know!” the cat demon remarked quietly, ears perking up a bit at the news. She bowed her head in silent thanks and started to make her way out. “Thanks Kagome! I'll see you tomorrow!”
“Yeah, I'll be seeing you! So, who are you again?” Kagome asked. It seemed that the blonde had been studying her every movement with his tangerine-red hinted eyes. “Okay…” deciding to try a different method… “I'll be your doctor today, Dr. Kagome Higurashi,” Kagome presented her hand and tried the discrete approach to crack the ice.
And nicely the advance worked fairly well.
“I'm Ro, Satsuru Ro,” he finally answered and took her offered hand and began to shake it.
“Well what happened Satsuru? Fall? Hmm?” Kagome asked taking a clipboard. “Oh, and I'll handle this one Bonnie,”
“I'm a kick-boxer. And well wouldn't ya know it... Someone tried to murder me. I don't have any idea who… but they did.”
“Wait… someone tried to murder you? How? You don't seem to be hurt… much. Shouldn't you be at the police station and not here at the hospital? Oh and I've heard of you… you're that…” Add physical finger quotation marks. “Ladies Man” End quotation marks.
“Yeah… so you've noticed? And I got shot.” He explained as he moved his arms away to reveal a bloodied wound.
And that's how the doctor met her next patient.
“Fuck! Get out of the fucking way! Damn it don't you people know how to fucking drive? From the looks of it you stupid dumbasses don't! Stupid fucking assholes!” The poor hanyou couldn't help but curse at his unlucky streak of getting into traffic when he was already late for his dumbass brother's meeting.
Sometimes I wonder why I had to be next in line for president of that gay ass company… all we do is make computers…
As maneuvered his American Mercedes through the other cars, his ears perked up to hear a strange sound.
There was a blast on the freeway bridge. Smoke started to seep though his open window; he started to hack on the oncoming gas. Since he couldn't see the road his car slowly tipped from where the bomb had blasted. So he pushed the brakes, but unluckily fell from the bridge to more oncoming traffic.
Then everything went black.
Inuyasha slowly, but groggily woke up in a white room that smelled of strange chemicals.
Was he dead? Or was he in some strange place?
“Where am I?”
“You're in… a hospital,” came a hesitant voice.
“Then why am I strapped to the bed? Where exactly is this? What do you want from me?”
“Nothing… just the main hospital, Moshuno Hospital was packed so we brought you here. The… doctor will be here shortly.” And when the feminine voice finished its little speech a hand holding a cloth was swiftly placed in front of his nose.
“Hmm, I wonder where that half-brother of mine is… he's already two hours late.” Sesshoumaru commented lightly.
Kagura, Naraku and himself had been waiting for the past couple of hours for his brother to show. Either he was sick or just stuck in long-ass traffic. Why couldn't he be normal and call to tell them where he was?
On the other hand, he didn't mind being in the presence of the oh-so beautiful Kagura Mizuno. Nevertheless she was his past lover, and boy did she have a grudge against him. However, she was still the same beauty he had been with four years ago.
But he did mind being within the charisma of Naraku; he was such a creepy fellow.
“Mr. Tetsuiko, my attendant and I…” Naraku began as he gave a sideways glance to Kikyo Sanna, his right hand woman of his leading company, Gumo Inc. “Pardon the rudeness but, we don't have all day,”
“Yes Sesshoumaru, we don't have all day! I need to pick up Kanna from Urima Academy for lunch, and that damned college campus is all the way across Tokyo! Can't we reschedule?” Kagura asked, slightly peeved at being with her exlover.
“I suppose since he's already two hours late. I wonder what happened… I shall see you at the end of the week, at about eleven,”
“Thanks… I've gotta go to my psychiatrist...” She mumbled on her way out.
“Well it seems she'll be able to make it… you, Naraku? Will you be able too?”
“I'll have to see my schedule, but I think I will… Come, Kikyo we must be present at other matters…”
“Yes Naraku… we do,”
Weird, it was as if Kikyo was a female version of Naraku… just a bit less creepy.
“Hmm I wonder where my brother really is…” Deciding to call his home phone first, he took out his cell phone. Sesshoumaru dialed the heart remembered and waited till the answer machine picked up; though he was surprised when someone picked up.
“Hello? Sugiyama Residence… Ayuo speaking…” Ahh, Inuyasha's house-keeper's daughter…
“Yes, is Inuyasha in? He's two hours late for an already canceled meeting at work,”
“Oh, I'm sorry Tetsuiko-san… Mr. Sugiyama left about three hours ago as not to go into traffic. However the streets were already flooded with cars. I would have expected him to be there in and hour… Is he alright?” she asked, scared
“I'm not really sure, but when I find him he better have a good explanation. Good-bye Ayuo, and thanks,” he said as he hung his phone.
Next he tried his brother's cell phone. He was then reminded of the tune Inuyasha had put for it, Just Don't Give A Fuck, by Eminem.
Inuyasha's voicemail snapped him out of his small reverie.
“Hey this is Yash, I'm sorry I'm not able to come to my cell, but leave what ya need me to know and I'll just try to get back to ya! Later…”
“Inuyasha… where are you? If you haven't noticed, even though I wouldn't expect you too… You're two hours late for the postponed meeting! Ayuo said that you left an hour to get here on time… where the fuck's name are you?! Call me when you can… -Sesshoumaru”
He decided to go pay Rin a little visit… maybe his surrogate daughter might know where her uncle was… After all, she wouldn't lie to her father, now would she?
“Hello?? Where the fuck is this so-called doctor?! Can you please loosen these damn straps! Hello?! Hey fuck-heads! Can you hear me?!”
Inuyasha was getting pissed off, after that anonymous chick slipped him with that rag he had woken up a bit later and there was still a no show for that damned so-called doctor!
“Can you shut the hell up?!”
“Finally someone isn't deaf around here!”
Just then a dark figure popped out of no where, and punched the half-dog demon in the jaw.
“I said shut the hell up! Don't you get it? When I say shut up… that means your mouth goes up… like this! Not down like this!”
Oh this bastard just didn't do what I think he did? That's it… time to stop being a good doggie! With that last thought on mind, Inuyasha slashed free from his previous restraints. Which of course was nothing to his hanyou strength, it was like ripping paper.
“Look… I know you said shut up, and I know how to do it… but just to make sure let me try it on you to see if I do it the correct way!”
He then kicked his tormenter, and decided to find his things and get out of there. Besides… this place didn't even look like anything close to a hospital.
He ran down the empty hallway and spotted an open door. He sniffed the air. It seemed that the occupants of the room were asleep, exceptionally by the sounds of there light breezy breathing.
Inuyasha poked his head through the doorway and spotted a girl on lying on the couch, her eyes shut. He glanced around the room doing a once over. He saw a window and another person, (a man to be exact) and his stuff on a nearby table. He softly padded towards the window to see exactly where he was being kept at.
It seemed he was in the slums of Tokyo, and that he was in a two story level. He grabbed his things, pressed the pressure points of the two other inhabitants of the room leaving them unconscious. When that was done he opened the window and jumped out, making his way towards the real hospital, just to check himself out.
Sango sighed as she stroked her two-tailed cat. It was just another boring day for her at the mechanics shop. She was already finished with her latest “projects” and well no one had been by to pick up or drop off their fixed or broken vehicles.
That is it was boring until a shady looking man dropped by.
“Yeah? What can I do you for?” the young mechanic inquired, already alert.
“You see that Mercedes over there? Can you fix it?”
“Whose is it?”
“My boss's, there was an explosion on the bridge he was driving on and he crashed onto the street below. Luckily he's alright… so can you fix it?”
“Yeah… but it'll cost ya.”
“How much?”
“Well considering the fact that the front end is completely smashed in… and the engine maybe a bit bad off as well… Counting the windshield… And that it's a foreign car… with foreign parts… Oh about 40,000 yen.” She replied calmly.
“Alright just get her fixed.”
“Whatever… be here two weeks from now. Considering the small time to order parts and repair it… I should get it done by then.”
“With no help? Are you sure?” he asked slightly impressed.
“Yeah… if no one else comes here with an even worse off car,”
“Alright… my boss will be here. See ya,”
“Yeah… bye,”
Then as the man left, another man came into the shop. This time a bit more agreeable looking.
“Yes sir? Can I help you?”
“Yes you can… is Daisho Hiiro in?”
Sango stiffened at her father's name. “No… not at the moment… but can I help you… Mr…”
“Noribachi, Miroku Noribachi. I'm looking for Daisho. Is he going to be in later?”
“No… he's dead.” She hurriedly put her hand up. “And no I don't need pity. I'm just as good as him… considering cars. Moreover, what business do you have with my deceased father?”
“I was wondering if he was ever done with my car… its right there,” he pointed towards the back of the car shop.
It was the forest green 1969 Corvette Stingray. Her father always had seemed to be working on it.
“How do you know my father?” Sango asked, growing a bit suspicious.
“My father knew him. He said he had a car for me… he promised it to me when I was 21. I haven't heard from him since… It's been about… 7 years? I just decided to stop by to see how it was going… It was hard finding this shop…”
“Who'd you say you were again? Miroku? Your name does sound a bit familiar… where do you work?”
“Hoshi Productions… I'm a producer there. Are you Sango? Daisho's oldest?
“Yeah… I think I've met you before? Was it when I…”
“Yes, if I do recall… you were blushing because you and I fell in Sumita Lake.”
“Was it because you felt me up?? Because if I remember… you're the one that groped me that day! Now that I think about it! You're that pervert who grabbed my ass!”
“Uh… yeah… I think that was me… I'm not really sure…”
“Well take your stupid Corvette! I need to get started on my newest `project'! It's going to need a lot of work…” she yelled as she started to push him out of the shop. “Oh and I'll get the car for you!”
“Sango… Sango really do you need to be so mean? I'm… just here to pick up my car!”
“Look… we can catch up later… if I feel like it. Or if I'm just really desperate… okay? Now if you don't mind I need to get to work…”
“Sango… wait…”
Being as semi-stubborn as he could, he turned around and tried to get the keys to his awaiting automobile. However it didn't turn out as he planned… just to get the keys and go for the car. It seemed lady luck had other plans instead of his thought out actions, he fell on the ground from her pushing and Sango being surprised fell on top of him.
Oh… did Miroku enjoy this…
And that's just how Kouga Dono found them.
A/N: Well this is my new fanfic… Chance. Hope you like it. I'm sorry I stopped A New Lingo, and In Fate's Hands. I just wanted to see how this turned out. And besides… I didn't like the way they were turning out… When I thought of this, it caught my attention more than any other story. I'm also working on another story… but that won't be out until this is finished or until I see that the progress of this one is going good! Well, sorry for the deletion of my other stories… but I think you'll like this story better… (or at least I hope!) Just to clear things up… this story is about everyday life… just with weird events that happen to the characters…
I will also be introducing the others in the next chapter! Harli & Satsuru are my characters! I'll be introducing the other four in chapter two… and everybody else will leak in through chapter two and three. Like I said… this story is about everyday life, but with weird/twisted events that happen to the characters. Oh and it's also about… chance!
I hope you got that…
Bye for now
