InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harmony Parking Lot ❯ Food Fight, Journey, and the Coppers ( Chapter 9 )

Well folks after a furious battle with writers block and a morphing of all the half assed ideas I had for this chapter along with a few beers in between it’s finally here, chapter 9. CHEERS ^^

Drink, Fight, and Fuck…that was the epitome of last week. Perhaps not so much the latter part. Either way I’m so fucking glad it’s all over with now. But here I am now sprawled out on the couch while Skunk and Hojo have one of their discussions of anarchy and the social structure of how it is human nature to go from order to disorder…blah blah blah. I agree with most of it and would throw in two cents if I didn’t hear them bring up the same points every damn time they discuss it.

“So Inuyasha what time is Sesshomaru suppose to get in to town?” Miroku said sitting down next to me sipping on the piss warm beer that has been in the corner for two weeks.

“FUCK don’t tell me that is today! And Miroku why are you drinking that shit?” No way has it been an exact week already. I was hoping it was Thursday not Friday.

“Every beer should be loved. Plus do you know how much this shit costs now days? But, if it helps any I’ll give it to Sesshomaru you know as a welcome to our shit hole gift.” Miroku laughed.

“You know Miroku, I like your thinking. I just can’t see why Kagome even wants to have dinner with them.”

The phone rang and Miroku got up to get it only to hand it over to me. I put the phone to my ear and heard Kagome on the other end.

“You excited for tonight?” Kagome asked giddily.

“And if I said no?” I rubbed my eyebrows.

“And this is why I talk to Rin and make the arrangements. You are being a drama queen Inuyasha.”

“Did you forget that her boyfriend was willing to kill you to get to me?” Girls, they have no comprehension of logic or common sense especially when they get it in their brain to have a dinner party.

“Sesshomaru wasn’t going to kill me and you know it. Plus he apologized.” Sesshomaru never apologizes.

“Yeah, I bet Rin was the one that apologized.”

“Inuyasha they will be in town in two hours. I’m on my way over now and you will not only help me get the dinner and the place ready, but you will sit down and play nice! And look descent!” And with that she hung up the phone. I hung up my end and went over to the cabinet next to the fridge and took out a shot glass and vodka. There was no way that I’m going to be able to get through this without my best friend Mr. Wolfschmidt.

After downing a few shots I dragged myself into my room and opened my closet. What the hell does she mean descent? Eh, I look fine enough. I closed my closet and put in a cigarette.

I went onto the fire escape and puffed out O’s into the wind. I had pushed the thought of what would actually happen seeing my brother and old friends and trying to be cordial towards each other. Now it’s all I can think about.

After what was said and done the last time they came around. I can’t trust the guy, hell I still hate the bastard. Yet, I have to have dinner with them. It’s not only going to be awkward as hell, but I have to grit my teeth and spew out bullshit for however long they are in town. God damnit Kagome, what were you thinking.

“Hey, there.” A voice said from behind me and I could tell by the way she spoke and the scent coming off of her that it was Kagome.


“Hey.” I got up to my feet and placed my elbows on the railing behind me.

“Inuyasha, I hardly think this is what I meant by looking nice.” She said sternly, but gave a little smile. I saw the wheels in her head were turning and before I could make a move for it she pulled me by my arm, making me drop my smoke.

“Kagome what are you doing? You owe me a smoke!” I yelled as she opened up my room door and finally let go. I fell onto my bed and looked back up at her.

“Eh, so you want a quickie huh?” I grinned. Kagome just rolled her eyes and headed to my closet.

“You can be such a pig sometimes you know that. Now, let’s make you look nice.” She smiled. I already know I’m not going to like this.

“What’s the point? Sesshomaru is probably going to be wearing his torn up jacket and holed jeans. Why should I be the one looking like a corporate guppy?”

“I believe you’ve relished plenty of times in the fact that you aren’t like your brother. Therefore, you are going to put on something nice.” I crossed my arms. There is no way I’m going to like this.

“Don’t you have any nice suites?” Kagome asked rummaging through my clothes.

“I never had a reason to own one. Besides who gives an honest shit anyway what I look like?”

“I do!” Kagome was getting testy and went out of the room. I thought I had actually broke her of the idea of me dressing up into a stooge, but then she came back in with a black pin striped suite with a god awful red tie.

“Here try this on. Miroku is lending it to you.” Kagome said as she threw the clothes on me.

“I need privacy to change.”

“Sure you do. That’s never stopped you after we’ve had sex or anything. Now, put them on.”

I struggled putting it on and felt claustrophobic. It was like all life was being drained by the god damn thing. It doesn’t even fit right; the pants go above my ankles and the arms are too short.

“I feel stupid.” I said not even bothering to put on the tie. Kagome gave me her “shut up” look and picked up the tie and began to tie it around my neck.

“Stop being difficult.” Kagome said and made a point by cinching up the tie extra tight.

I was too busy being pissed about dressing up to even notice what Kagome was wearing. She looked like a pin up doll. Wearing bright red lipstick and a short black dress with black and white stiletto’s on. If I wasn’t so pissed I might actually tell her that she looked hot.

It took her ten minutes to even get me out of my room. And of course as soon as she did everyone who saw me began to burst out laughing.

“Meeting with Bill Gates, Inuyasha?” Kouga smirked.

“Wow, Kouga is that all you can come up with? Your lack of wit stuns me.” Before I could genuinely give Kouga a piece of my mind Kagome got between us and guided me to the kitchen.

Kagome then started to take out the food she had brought over and began preparing them.

“Need help Kagome?” Hojo asked coming out of the living room. I guess he and Skunk came to a stalemate in their discussion.

“Why thank you Hojo. Maybe you should be my boyfriend since I don’t see Inuyasha lifting any weight.” Kagome looked over and gave a glare which I returned with a bit of a snarl before taking another drink of the nice cold beer.

I got bored waiting for dinner to be ready and like hell if I’m going to sit around waiting for my doom. Maybe Miroku wouldn’t mind splitting with me a bowl or ten.

“Hey Miroku let’s smoke a bowl.” I grabbed him and we sat down on the big couch. I swear Skunks senses went off because he was in the bathroom and all of a sudden he threw open the door and like Scooby to food followed the scent of the ganja into the living room.

“I heard the mention of marijuana.” Skunk smiled. Skunk took out his own bag and before we knew it there was two pipes going around our three man circle.

“Inuyasha did Sango tell you where she was going to this morning?” Miroku asked exhaling the smoke.

“Why? Do you plan on stalking her?” I laughed, “Anyway, I think she went to hang-out with her brother or something. In any case ask Kagome, her and Sango might as well be married.”

The weed started to take effect. Pretty soon all of our heads were tilted and we looked like we were mentally challenged.

I don’t mind this deal of me smoking while Kagome is busy in the kitchen making me dinner. Of course she would flip if I told her that. Right when I finally was able to put my brother’s upcoming visit in the back of my mind I heard a knock at the door.

“Oh good they are just in time.” Kagome said opening the door. I groaned and hid behind Miroku and Skunk.


That was until I saw what Sesshomaru was wearing. He looked worse than I did. He had his hair slicked back and wearing a white suite with pink lining and a pink tie. He was obviously way more uncomfortable than I was. Behind him was Rin who was wearing a pink dress and heels then followed by the little rodent, and Jaken. I guess the rest of the group didn’t feel like coming. Thank fucking god.

“Hey guys I’m glad you could make it!” Kagome smiled embracing Rin. Rin returned the greeting and elbowed Sesshomaru in the ribs in which he also returned the gesture. Shippo of course clung to Kagome as soon as he stepped foot in the door. Hojo offered Sesshomaru a beer in which Sesshomaru nodded and took the beer then came by where Skunk, Miroku, and I were and slumped down on the couch.

“You can stop hiding.” Sesshomaru let out chugging at the amber liquid.

“Rin?” I asked looking at his clothes.

“Yeah. Kagome?”

“Yep.” We both then took another swig of beer.

Kagome and Rin were busy away in the kitchen with Shippo chipping in while Sesshomaru, Jaken and I sat in silence. Miroku, Skunk, and Hojo looked awkward. Neither of them actually trying to break the ice either that was until Hojo began to stare at Jaken. Jaken was short and stubby and looked even more disgusting (I didn’t even think was possible) in human form.

“What’s that on the side of your cheek?” Hojo said unsure pointing at a little patch of green showing through Jaken’s skin.

“What? Nothing it’s nothing.” I hate Jaken. He has always been so sniveling and the biggest sycophant in the world to Sesshomaru.

“Jaken if your skin is peeling just change into your youkai form.” Sesshomaru said without even looking at the pathetic lizard thing.

“But master…what of the h.u.m.a.n.s?”

“Hey Jaken they can spell you know. And if you hadn‘t noticed they already know.” I sneered.

Jaken chanted a few words and was released from his human form and everyone faces turned in a bit of disgust.

“So, not all demons have cute attributes.” Hojo said looking Jaken up and down.

“Hey! I’ve been told that I’m quite adorable.” This is the part where I fight the urge to hit him.

After another ten minutes of pure silence Miroku got up.

“You know we should go help the girls in the kitchen.” Miroku said beckoning to Skunk and Hojo.

Thanks for leaving me alone with Sesshomaru and Jaken assholes.

Another five minutes of silence and utter disgust looking at Jaken lick every remaining drop of beer out of his bottle with his lizard like tongue. I at least prefer the silence then listening to Sesshomaru talking to himself.

“Sesshomaru, why don’t you tell Inuyasha about your recent great success?” Jaken said boiling over with dumbfuckary.

“We recently had a mission in which some of our group infiltrated the capital by buying off some cops. So now Jankotsu and Bankotsu are agents to our governor. ” Wow, that took a lot of effort. It’s so hard to buy your way in. Their ideas are really skewed. I rolled my eyes and tuned out as Sesshomaru went on and on about how youkai of all kinds were now going to take back the world.

I was fighting the urge to kill myself when Rin and Kagome came into the room to announce that dinner was ready.

Miroku, Skunk, Hojo, Kouga and Shippo were already sitting at the table. Sesshomaru and Rin sat across from Kagome and me. The kit took its place next to Kagome while Miroku sat next to me, Hojo at one end and Kouga at the other, and Skunk was next to Sesshomaru.

“Well thanks to Rin, Sesshomaru, Jaken, and little Shippo for being able to join us for dinner.” Kagome smiled.

“Yeah, thanks for letting me see Sesshomaru dressed up as faggot.” I smirked.

“INUYASHA.” Kagome said between her gritted teeth.

“What I said thank you and being gay isn’t a bad thing. We always knew that Rin wore the pants in that relationship I just didn’t know that Sesshomaru preferred the skirt.”

“Wow, you did that all by yourself little brother? I’m sure this suite matches the panties that you used to wear around your head. I heard there’s an operation for your types now.” Rin and Kagome’s eyebrows started to rise in agitation.

“Panties huh, I didn’t know you lived two lives Inuyasha.” Miroku laughed. That’s it Sesshomaru is dead!

“I WAS FIVE! And I distinctly remember you using your tail as a measuring device.”

“Ha. What can I say I suppose not all Hanyou’s get that side of the Youkai trait.” Sesshomaru smirked.

“HA! Mr. Limp dick. I heard all about it from Rin!” That should get him. Kouga was nearly falling out of his chair from laughing. Rin’s face on the other hand turned bright red and grew with furry. By now Sesshomaru and I were standing yelling across the table. The girls in unison got up too. Rin hit Sesshomaru on the top of the head and Kagome was pulling for me to sit down.

“THAT’S IT!” I’m sick of Sesshomaru’s shit! Somewhere between the yelling and screaming a butter roll hit me in the head. If they wanted to play childish then it was on!

Soon there were mashed potatoes and noodles flying through the air. Kagome dumped the fruit salad on top of my head and I got her good with gravy down her shirt. Everyone was by then participating and the yelling eventually faded into laughter.

Kouga threw a tomato and the juices ran down the side of my head. That little furry bastard! I jumped on the table and repeatedly through deviled eggs in his face. Kagome in the meantime jumped on me making my arm go the other way and my ammo hit Miroku instead in which he shoved my head into the bowl of punch.

After awhile there was a dog pile on me. Food was dripping all over the place and everyone was drenched in mashed potatoes, fruit salad, butter, and god knows what else.

“Oh fuck…what’s that sound?” As soon as I said that everyone’s attention was peaked at the table that was holding us up.

The creaking grew louder; BOOM! We were on the ground and contorted with mash potatoes in places that mash potatoes shouldn’t be.

Everyone peeled themselves off of each other and sorely made their way onto the couch to rest from the vigorous food fight. So this night wasn’t a complete waste. I got to shove food in not only my pompous ass of a brother’s face, but Kouga’s as well.

“So much for our work, huh Kagome.” Rin smiled.

“No kidding. I think that the boys get to clean it up.”

“But that’s what having girlfriends are for.” I said laying my head back onto my hands and kicking up my feet.

“Hey, Inuyasha.” Kagome said fluttering her eye lashes.

“Yeah?”“I have a pretty little word that starts with “S” for you if you don’t clean your mess up!” Oh cruel tricks. I was hoping that she would make me a sandwich…I didn’t get to eat dinner.

Miroku lit up a pipe and sent it around. I can’t believe no one is fighting. This is weird.

Rin took a giant hit and biffed it. She began coughing so hard that her eyes were tearing up and Sesshomaru actually showed a brief look of a smile and even a laugh. Though his laughing was always kind of creepy sounding.

When it came to Sesshomaru’s hit he, trying to be big macho-man, took a big drag and didn’t just cough, but coughed so hard he had to rush to the bathroom. So there is a thing called Karma.

“See you have no room to talk Sesshomaru.” Rin grinned.

“I haven’t smoked in awhile.” He retorted still letting out the occasional cough.

“Bullshit. We smoked yesterday. You just completely bitched it!” Rin giggled.

“Oh, but you bitched it so gracefully Sesshomaru.” Jaken grinned only to be met by Sesshomaru’s fist.

The rest of the night was too terrible. Outside of Sesshomaru, and I having to clean up the kitchen all by ourselves while everyone else drank and picked food out of their asses. Shippo insisted on staying by Kagome at all times. By the time Rin, Jaken, and Sesshomaru were getting ready to leave Shippo refused to let go of Kagome’s leg. So like an idiot Kagome suggested that since they were spending the night at a hotel before they go back home they let Shippo stay with her for the night.

This means no sex for me and everyone has school the day after tomorrow so I won’t really be able to see her till Thursday which means no sex for four days. God damnit.

“Alright who gets the shower first?” Hojo asked picking the remaining food particles out of his hair. Without a word being said everyone ran for the bathroom door.

As we pushed to be the first one through the bathroom door there were elbows in faces and contorted limbs to try and block the others. I thought I had finally made it in and closed the door. I saw that Kagome had made it in also.

“So, looks like we do get some time alone.” I went over to her and brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
“Sango always has bubbles for a bubble bath.” Kagome said swaying over to me. I like were this is going…
The next morning Shippo came running through my bedroom door.

“Kagome!” Shippo yelled. Fuck I knew I should have locked my door. I turned over and threw my pillow over my ears.

“Shippo…what time is it?” Kagome said getting to a sitting position and rubbing her eyes.

“I think it’s about seven.” SEVEN! What the hell is wrong with this kid?

“Why are you up so early?” Kagome yawned.

“Because I leave tonight and I want as much Kagome and Shippo time so we need to start early.” Shippo said cheerfully.


“Shippo right now Kagome needs more sleep.” Kagome replied flopping back down.

“Kagome! Please!” Shippo whined and jumped onto the bed.

“Shippo!” I growled while he kicked me in the side as he snuggled up to Kagome. Shippo paid no mind to me and continued to be annoying as fuck.

“Ok I’m up. I’m up. What do you want for breakfast Shippo?” Kagome stretched then patted the kit on the head. She got out of the covers and I had forgotten that she had borrowed one of my shirts to sleep in. My “Circle Jerks” t-shirt hung on her small frame.

“Waffles!” The kit shouted jumping off of the bed and following after Kagome down the hall. Finally I can go back to sleep.



What time is it? Huh, I don’t hear the annoying sound of Shippo. Did they leave?
I got up threw on clothes and headed out to the kitchen. Where the hell is everyone? This place is fucking empty.

I jumped when I heard the front door creak open. I looked over and saw that it was Miroku rubbing the back of his neck with Kouga next to him.

“What’s with the looks?” I asked noticing the creasing of stress on Miroku’s face.

“The club is hemorrhaging money. Kouga and I just looked over the books.”


“How is that possible? There is always a giant crowd.”

“Yeah, well when you look at how much money we get being divided into running the place, paying the bands, getting inventory for the bar, the rent for the space, paying employees, taxes, and our living expenses you run out of money pretty quickly.” Kouga added.

“So what’s going to happen?” I asked as they headed into the living room.

“I don’t know…but we need to think of something fast rent is due next week and we might be able to pay for that, but we are fucked after that. We don’t have any big shows booked until June.” Miroku gave out a sigh.

“Move up the show then!”

“It doesn’t work like that. We would still have to pay everyone.” Miroku’s face became even paler.

“Let’s have a benefit show we can set it up for this Friday and see if some bands will volunteer. Then we can come up with something during the week.” Ha. I’m a genius.

“That’s not a bad idea. Kouga go get a hold of the employees. But what would we do during the week? Kouga and everyone else have school to think about.”

“We could rent the space out to bands that don’t have a place to practice.”

“I like your thinking. Alright, tonight and tomorrow we get a hold of the bands, promoting for the benefit show starts Tuesday and post notices up around the high schools for the practice space.” Miroku was eager to get this underway. I’d hate to see this place get shut down.

“Hey Miroku by the way do you know where Kagome and the kid went?”

“I think they went back to a playground or something.” It’s still hard to imagine my first impression of the kit to how he is now. He is actually acting like his age, which is why I never want to have kids.

So hanging out with my girlfriend is out of the picture and with Miroku busy with keeping the business afloat. What else is there to do? I guess that just leaves Hoagie and Skunk. I went over to the phone and dialed Skunk first knowing that Hojo was probably over there anyway.

The conversation was brief, but they were free and so we decided to meet up by the bridge. At least it’s better than sitting on my ass all day listening to Kouga.

I pulled out a beer and headed out the door. Underneath the bridge was a dingy place usually filled with runaways, the occasional prostitots, raver kids, filthy assholes, and your humble alcoholics and druggies. I was surprised to see that it was just Hojo and Skunk there besides a few bums.

“Hey guys.” I said approaching them and throwing my now empty beer on the grown.

“Hey!” They replied Skunk throwing me a forty.

We mainly sat in silence commenting on one thing or another as we sipped at our beer. Watching police cars and shouting at them as they drove by.

Hojo got so shit tanked that he began falling all over himself and waving his scrawny arms around yelling about oppression. The one that everyone treated as the mother of the group, the responsible one who doesn’t do drugs, yet who was always the best one of us to hold liquor was now out of his god damn mind. Maybe all those years of drinking have impacted his brain cells so much that there isn’t anything left.

“Hojo maybe you should…” Before I could finish my sentence he pressed his finger to my lips and then the unspeakable happened.

“JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL LIVING IN A LONELY WOOORLLLD SHE TOOK THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN GOING ANYWHERE…I CAN’T REMEMBER THE NEXT PART…. DON’T STOP BELIEVING!!” Oh good god!

“What the hell Hojo! Journey…really!” Skunks face was stupefied.

“Thank you!” Hojo again flailed his arms in what I think was an attempt to bow, but instead fell off the cement block that we were sitting on.

“What should we do with him?” I asked peering down to see him muttering on about something.

“We could always have him work the curb and bring us some money he is pretty enough and drunk enough that he won’t remember anything.”

“I just hope they are Journey fans.”

“Encore!” One of the bums shouted from their cardboard box.

“Alright, let’s get his fat ass off of the ground.” Skunk and I heaved Hoagie up while he continued in his delirium.

We took him by either side and tried to keep him in a straight line. Though there wasn’t anything masking his god awful singing.

“This is why you play trumpet.” I said after giving up the battle of making him shut up.

“Wha…Inuyasha you don’t like my perrty singin’ voice.” Hojo said sluggishly tilting his head over to stare at me.

“No!” Skunk and I both yelled.
“Well, Fuuuck youuuu twoo! I don’t need any of you!” He slurred getting out of our grip and walking away for about two feet before falling back down. As we once again struggled to get back up he began to sing a new song.

“IF I FALL BACK DOWN YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO HELP ME BACK UP AGAIN!”
“Well at least the music is better.” Skunk shrugged.

“Yeah, but not his voice.” Ha. I know what will shut him up. I took off my boot and pulled off one of my socks and shoved it into Hojo’s mouth. Then Skunk and I lifted him back up to lean on our shoulders making sure we held his hand so he couldn’t take the damn thing out.

“Fuck Inuyasha. There is a copper up ahead.”

“Don’t be fucking paranoid Skunk. Just play it off.”

“Hey you kids!” The bastard yelled and came towards us.

“Good day officer.” I said.

“What’s up with your friend there?” The pig said using his billy club to poke Hojo in the gut.

“Oh he had too much of the old drink.” Skunk smiled.

“He looks no older than 15 and there is a sock in his mouth. Just what in hell are you boys on up to?” The pig was getting high in mighty now. And good ol’ responsible Hojo was completely gone he managed to spit out the sock.

“Hey piggy got anyone better to squeal at? You fascist mother fucker why doooon’t you go eat more of those donuts and smoke up that confiscated crack!” Fuck…great Hojo of all the times to get balls.

“RUN!” I yelled. Hojo kept yelling as we dashed for it with him dragging his feet along.

It took some serious maneuvering this pig being scrawnier then the others, but we finally managed to out run him. We gave a sigh of relief when we got to the back entrance of the Wind Tunnel.

As we opened up the door that lead to the stairs we heard yelling coming from the club. We rushed into the club still dragging Hojo and saw the cops facing us. It was cops everywhere a completely different sight then when I left.

Skunk and I threw Hojo in the elevator and pressed up so he wouldn’t say anything stupid again. We ran over to Miroku who was on a bar stool.

“What the fuck is going on?” I asked as a cop came up from behind me and pulled back my arm and pushed me down on the bar counter.

“What the fuck! Get the fuck off of me!” I felt the cold steel of the cuffs and I knew this wasn’t about running from the squealer from before.

“Miroku! Answer me god damnit what the fuck is going on!” I could now see that his hands had the silver bracelets too.

“We’re being arrested Inuyasha. That’s what’s happening.” Miroku looked at me with the coldest stare it was a look that Sesshomaru would give. At that moment all I knew was there is no way out.

A/N: Well looks like those duke boys…wait wrong story and a crappy one at that. Anywho! Miroku and Inuyasha might have to watch their ass in jail. Also, I would like to thank a good friend of mine who’s complete drunkenness lead to horrible Journeyness and a great inspiration to put it into my story out of his embarrassment. Well I hope you liked it remember to R&R Until next time bone daddies. ;)
