InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cutterflies ❯ Inuyasha's Reveries (part 1) ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2

 

Hot water rained down on Inuyasha's back and the sound of the radio drifted in from the bedroom. He liked to leave the door open when no one else was home. The apartment was lonely when he was the only one there. He didn't like having extra time alone like most did. He enjoyed being around his friends. Well, one friend in particular, but she was too clueless to notice.

 

Stepping out of the shower, he took his towel from the counter and began to scrub the droplets off his body. He still hadn't grown facial hair, and his skin revealed his virginity of the razorblade. Checking the front door was locked, he whispered something under his breath and a quick moment later, he looked into the mirror to find a white haired, dog eared version of himself staring back.

 

He'd known Kagome for many long years, but never told her his secret. He grew up on the streets after his mother had died of a mysterious accident, and he'd gone to school from the orphanage he'd been taken to. That's when he met Kagome in 3rd grade. She was so kind to him and his clothes- which had been hand-me-downs for ages and look rather funky and gross- didn't bother her. In fact, they'd not even known each other more than a few weeks and she'd bought him a pair of jeans and three shirts with the money she'd been saving for her Christmas fund. After that, they'd become inseparable, and told each other many secrets. They had both not liked where they lived and had moved out together into an apartment at the age of 15.

 

He smiled when he remembered that day…

 

****

 

Kagome's father stared at his daughter and then back at this Inuyasha fellow she'd been hanging around with since grade school. Narrowing his eyes he snapped at her, “What are you pregnant then? Is that why you're leaving?”

 

Kagome and Inuyasha's faces grew so red he'd thought their faces were made of blood. “No!” they both yelled and then stared at each other a second before turning back to her father.

 

“We just want to get a head start,” Kagome sighed, “We're best friends, and we trust each other more than anyone else. And I hate it here dad. You're always getting drunk, and you always yell at me and hit me when you don't mean to. I just don't want anything to happen to either of us if one day you get drunk and go too far…”

 

Tears threatened to escape from her eyes, but she held them there, stubbornly refusing to let him see her pain. He stood and angrily stormed into her bedroom, grabbing her old photo album, and returning to the living room, dropping it on the table. Turning to the last page he grunted and gestured at the envelope that lay there.

 

Confused, Kagome took the envelope addressed to her in fancy and feminine handwriting, and opened it. Inside was a check for $25,000, and a note. In the same handwriting as on the front, it read,

 

 

“My Dearest Kagome,

 

I know you will probably hate me for this, because what kind of mother leaves her daughter alone after her birth? But I want to tell you that, over the past few years, I've been watching you. You and Inuyasha.

I must say that I am very proud of you. You've done so much already and made such a difference to those around you. I knew you'd be like me, and want to move out at a young age. I'm terribly sorry that I never wrote to you. But the secrets I have are too great for you to know me or for you to even see me.

I will always be near and you can always be sure that you are always safe…

But you must promise never to fall in love with anyone. Because then you will fall victim to things you'd never know how to handle. Call her. Your father knows who.

Promise me you'll never give up on anything that you start. Never stop trying. You come from me, and you are a part of me. You will always have the strength to complete any task you begin, no matter how clouded your path.

I will pay for your new apartment, and all living expenses. I will send checks monthly to you, my daughter, and extra money if Inuyasha may need it.

Remember, my Little One, that no matter what, I will always love you, and you will ALWAYS be my daughter, my pride, my strength.

 

Love, Mommy

 

 

******

 

Inuyasha shook from his reverie, and heard steps coming from outside the door. Hastily muttering again, his hair bled black once more and just as the front door opened, he pulled his shirt over his chest and smiled at a very pissed off looking Kagome.

 

“Inuyasha, YOU BAKA! You never told me that it's SATURDAY! I went all the way to work this morning, FOR NOTHING? I'm going to kill you!”

 

Kagome screamed all this at once, and with each sentence she got louder.

 

The truth was, he'd forgotten as well. But he quickly found a way to make himself look as if he'd known all along. He had a thing about keeping his pride strong, though he'd never verbally admit it.

 

Inuyasha grinned evilly, and said, “You told me last night to wake you up at 5:00 in the morning so you could go to cram school. You never asked if, or told me that, today was Saturday.”

 

Kagome's mouth dropped. Her hair looked like she'd been fussing with it, and her eyes were red. She was dressed in her favorite sweatpants, and a black silk tank top, her black boots barely poking out from under the hem of her long pants.

 

Inuyasha hid his smile, and smirked instead. She was so cute, even when she looked so stressed out. Taking one step back, Inuyasha slowly began to turn towards the hall, when Kagome let out a yell and stomped towards him.

 

`Yep, just like normal' Inuyasha thought. She always hated when he twisted what she told him. So he did it just to tease her. A loud bang sounded throughout their apartment, and Inuyasha bolted out the front door as Kagome came hollering at him, “YOU STUPID JERK!!”

InuyashasChic—yeah, they are roommates. Sorry, I only said it once in the summary! Lol but yeah, they've been living together in the apartment for a few years. They're the same age in my story (kagome 16 - inuyasha 17).
