InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'll miss ya ❯ Chapter 2

Chapter 2

`Well today was interesting' I thought entering the house I now called my home. I walked in through the door and threw the keys on the table next to the door. "Hey Kari... You home? Kari?" I said as I walked through the living room and into a room that I shared with my best friend. "Hey Kari how was your day?" I asked when I finally saw my best friend. "Hey Tori, wanna go out and watch a movie or something… or do you have a shit load of homework? `Cause I remember when I was in high school I had loads of homework… Of course now I have more now but that's not the point. So are you up for it?"

"Uh… Yea sure… I hear Troy's a great movie." I said

"Ok cool… Just let me get dressed and we'll go."

I smiled "Um you do know I'm not going anywhere dressed like this right? I hate this uniform crap."

"Of course." Kari laughed and went to the bathroom.

While Kari was in the bathroom I went to the closet and found a black leather mini skirt a pair of fishnets, and a red tank top. "Hey Kari are we going on your Harley?" I had asked her

"Um… If you want to… or we can take the car… its up to you…" Kari answered from the bathroom

"Alright then we'll take the bike." I said and put the skirt back in the closet and took out a pair of red bondage pants and put it all on. "Hey Kar get out of there I need to use it too… Don't forget you're not the only one living here anymore." She laughed. I liked spending time with Kari. She was like family to me, family that I didn't have anymore.

********** Flashback **********

A little girl with long dark blue hair, crystal eyes and gray markings on her hands and feet ran towards a man with long black hair and green eyes. "Daddy!" She called out to him. "Daddy! Have you returned? Are you staying this time?" She hugged him as tight as she could for a girl of such young age and jumped up into his arms. He kissed her on her forehead. "Yes darling," he answered her "I am." She smiled at his words and put her head on his shoulder as they walked through the village to their house. A pregnant woman with long blue hair and blue eyes stood next to the house. The girl lifted her head and screamed out "Mommy, mommy he's going to stay." The woman smiled and nodded. When they got to the door the girl jumped off and ran into the house. The man gave his wife a kiss and they followed her inside the house. Later that night they sat down to eat. They were joking, the father told them about his trip, and the mother told them about the latest gossip she had heard. While the girl sat happily at the table enjoying the food and was thankful that her father was finally back and she was going to have a baby brother and she was going to be the older sister that looked after him. After dinner she kissed her mothers tummy and wished her mommy and unborn brother goodnight. Her father tucked her into her bed and told her a bedtime stories, and when one finished she said "Daddy, I miss your stories tell me one more." And he told her another one and another one until she finally fell asleep. She woke up in the middle of the night crying. "Daddy!" she called out "Daddy! Daddy, where are you?!" She cried as she walked out of her room. She walked around the house and couldn't find anyone home. "Mommy? Where are you mommy?" She walked out of the house and saw both of her parents dead on the ground. They were bleeding from their heads; all over their bodies they had cuts, little cuts, big cuts, deep cuts, shallow cuts. Blood was still pouring out of them like water. A huge puddle of blood surrounded them. "MOMMY! DADDY!" She screamed out as tears were streaming down her face.

********** End of Flashback **********

Tears rolled down my cheeks. "Daddy," I said "I miss you. You promised you'd stay. Why did you leave me?" I whispered looking up at the ceiling. I wiped the tears with the back of my hand. "Kari! Get out of there already. You're always taking so long to get ready...What is it that you do in there that takes you so long."

"Ok, Ok. I'm getting out, there happy? I'm out." She said as she walked into the bedroom. I ran for the bathroom at super speed. "Hey! Who bit your ass?" Kari laughed

I washed her face so that there was no trace of tears. I rubbed and rubbed until my whole face went pink. I didn't really like crying. I don't do it that often, and when I do it's not over something stupid like boys or friends. I got out and grabbed my pack of `Newport' and stuffed them in my pocket. "Come one Kari." I said as I walked to the door and grabbed my keys. I walked up to the bike and said "Should I drive or will you?" I liked it a lot; I preferred the bike over the car. It was a great thing to ride in when you're out with your best friend. "Um… Do you really think I'd trust you with the Harley? The car maybe but the Harley, move over I'm driving."

Kari was always smiling, she had a great life, and she had loads of friends and a wonderful family that supported her in anything she did. I loved Kari and Kari's family thought of Tori as their own daughter. When my parents died they took me in as their own, since then it was impossible to separate us. When Kari went to college and moved out I moved in with her I couldn't live with out her and didn't know what I would do if god forbid one day Kari would die. They rode to the movie theater and got the tickets. While Kari was getting popcorn I went to the theater where Troy was playing. I found great seats, not too far and not too close, just right. I sat there and waited for Kari. "Hey Tori you haven't been causing any trouble at school have you?" Kari asked when she had found me. "Um… no" I said looking to the side "Why would you say that?"

"Oh its just that I just saw Kaede and she told me that you pulled your prank on two new girls at school…True?"

"Uh… Their two preps and their so annoying they were sitting there in front of me giggling and talking about a bunch of non sense and well you know me… I just had to do something to ruin their day…Although I highly doubt that I succeeded at that."

"Babe why?!?! I mean imagine if someone did that to you, just because you look different and do different things----"I cut her short "Shh the movie's starting." I smiled and stuffed my mouth with popcorn.

After the movie Kari wanted to go to the mall to the furniture store. We were remodeling our living room and needed new furniture to match. At the moment the living room had black walls and a white ceiling, we wanted to get it done in a beige color walls and a brick red ceiling. "Oh look! What do you think of that couch?" I said pointing at a white leather couch. "It's nice but its leather; I don't really like leather unless it's on me. Plus leather couches stick to you in the summer and their all icky and crap"

"Ok well then what do you think of that red one?" I said and pointed at a blood red corner couch.

"Oooh… I like it. The color is oh so pretty and it would go perfectly in our living room. And look it comes with the two armchairs to match. And that little glass coffee table is perfect. Oh but look at the cost…Will we be able to handle that?"

"Sure we will with my credit card and yours we'll be able to do it."

We walked around a bit more and didn't find anything else that we liked. We left the store making plans of payment. We both knew that my job wasn't the greatest in the world but it was something. And Kari had a really good job and got a lot of money. But being a college student she needed all the money she could get.

On their way to the parking lot Kari saw a few of her friends "Hey Tori could you wait here I'll be back in a second" She told me and ran towards her friends. I was left standing in front of the bike. I stood there for around 30 minutes and started to get pissed off… `God I hate this' I thought. Just then I spotted the two new girls from school `Oh great just what I needed to make my day better.' I turned around and decided to walk home. It wouldn't be that far its only a half an hour walk from the mall. `It's a good thing I left the parking lot before those two saw me… I don't think I'd hear the end of their bull shit.' I thought as I walked down a long block. Just then I spotted a boy with cute little doggy ears and long white hair in a white wife beater and jeans. `Hum… Looks interesting, wonder who he is.' As I walked closer I saw another guy next to him with black hair up to the shoulders in a purple t-shirt and black bondage pants. As I was walking closer to them I was listening in on their conversation.

"Hey remember that chick with the black hair and brown eyes?" Said the one with shoulder length hair.

"Yea, what about her. Oh shit you like her don't ya?" The other one said.

"Hell no. She's an ugly wretch. I mean did you see the way she walked? And that short ass skirt, she didn't even bother tugging at it like that other chick she was with."

"Sure Miroku. Why is it that I dun believe ya?"

"Hun. I dun know." The one named Miroku said "Maybe cuz you like her." He laughed "The great hanyou likes a human. Never thought I'd see the day, but then again it may be your human side Inu Yasha."

"I dun like her ya Baka, why would I like that wench?!?!?" The boy named Inu Yasha said.

`Oh shit' I thought `so that's what they think of those two new girls. Maybe I should tell them… Nah I shouldn't their right anyway, their damn preps should rot in hell… Hmm the one with the black hair sounds so ferminilar… And that scent, the scent of… freshness…hmm I cant quite put my finger on it yet… Oh my god!!!' I walked past them making sure I bumped into them. I didn't want to look at them or hear anything else they were talking about, I just walked as fast as I could.

I got home and threw the keys on the table next to the door. `Why does this always happen to me? Why does she always do this to me? Always leaving me when she sees her friends. Never even bothering to give me the keys to the car or the bike just incase she gets held up. How can you do that to a friend? Ditch me on every chance she gets. I love her to death but what the hell is this crap?!?!' I walked in to the bathroom and took off my clothes. I got in the shower and turned on the scolding hot water Kari loved to bathe in. Usually I hated taking showers in hot water but today was a different story… After the shower I went to our room to do my homework. At about 7pm I heard the door open. "Tori!!!" I heard my best friend calling, I didn't pay attention. I just got up and closed the door and went back to my work. "Tori are you home?!" Kari called out again "Tori I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you alone for so long." I didn't even bother listening to her. I hated my best friend at the moment. I hated it when she did this to me. But there was nothing I could have done at the moment. I couldn't leave because when I would come back I would still have to face her and talk to her about it. I couldn't run away because I had no where else to go. It was a good thing we had the upstairs floor which was like another apartment. `I'll do my homework and pack up my shit and move up stairs… It's not that hard to do.' I thought. *knock, knock* "Tori sweetie open the door please. I know you're in there come on open the door babe." Kari said `You can do it your self the door is no locked or anything…' I thought. Just then door burst open and Kari stood in the door frame. I felt my friend's eyes upon me. I knew she was staring at me but didn't want to turn my face to face her.

"It's not the first time you do this to me Kari." I finally said. "You always do this to me when you see your friends. Wouldn't it be nice if just one day you locked me out of the house or something just cuz your friends would be over. I mean hey if your going don't ask me to wait cuz you know that your not gonna be with them for just 5 minutes so gimme the keys and go and I wont have to walk home, you would cuz u were the one who did this but hey, you know its not like you care anyway. I'm sorry if you don't have as much fun with me as you do with your pals, but please when you're with me don't ditch me for them. It makes me feel like shit and unwanted." Kari stood there amazed at how I had just told her off. She couldn't say anything to me because she knew I was right. "Mind sleeping in the other room tonight?" I asked. I heard Kari slowly walking up the steps. I got up and closed the door, going back to the table and I looked at my homework. `I think I'm going to move up stairs tomorrow… It'll make life for both of us so much easier. I wont even bother going to school tomorrow, I'll move all of my stuff upstairs and I'll do my homework them.' I thought. I went to her closet and started getting all of my stuff out of there. I fell to the floor in tears when I found a picture of Kari and me when we were younger; I just wanted to be that carefree again and never grow up. I hated being 17 and living in the city, I liked it when we all lived in the village, but in order to go to school they had to live in the city. I didn't want to move out of this room but knew that if I didn't things would only get worse. Plus the guest bedroom was much better then this one. It wasn't just a bedroom up there. We made it into a whole new apartment. There was a huge bedroom which had a huge bathroom. There was a living room and a kitchen. I always liked it up there. There was also a balcony over looking the ocean. Moving upstairs was like moving into a whole new apartment for me. `Its worth it' I thought. `We have our fights now and then and now I'll be able to escape from it all when ever I want to… Of course I'll need to get some furniture for it… since no one used the upstairs place before we never bothered putting in furniture and now I'll have to work my ass off and get me some great stuff up there.' I got all of my things out of the closet and went upstairs. "Kari I'm moving up here, so if you don't mind please go down in the living room so that I can do this on my own." I said, as I walked closer to the door I heard muffled crying. "Kar?" I said "Kari are you ok?" "Yea, I'm fine *sniffle* I'll go down in a second." She said through the closed door. I heard her walking to the bathroom and turning on the water. `God I feel so bad now… I never meant to make her cry.' I thought. `But its only for out own good. We'll be happier this way. Plus there's a back door to this floor so it's actually like I'm getting my own place.' Kari got out of the room and hugged me. "I'm sorry babe." Kari said "Forgive?" I just smiled and walking into the bedroom. When I was finished with all my stuff being so tired I just fell asleep.

Letting in a breath of air, Tori sighed as she stood in front of her favorite bar. Tori had waist length blue hair, and turquoise eyes that darkened dangerously when she was angered, and cat ears. She had on a red tank top and a black leather mini skirt. `Where can she be?' She wondered. A few miles ahead, she heard a bike and smelled the sweet sent of the fresh rain. `Kari,' she thought. As the bike got closer she could make out a shadow of a woman on it. The girl had a black vinyl shirt, black leather pants and a worn out trench coat. Her hair was pink, and full. It fell to her waist. She had blue-green eyes and pointed ears, the kind of ears that only full demons had. Kari a descendent of Basset had feline features. "Tori!" The girl on the bike screamed out. "Kari!" Tori, Screamed back and ran to the girl parking the bike. When Kari got off she hugged her. "It's been so long. I missed you so much. How are you?" Kari asked. They walked toward the bar together talking about their week. When they walked in through the door, they noticed a brawl, a small group of 3 demons of full blood, fighting with the "half breads" in the bar. "Fuck, not now," Kari mumbled, "you can't be seen." They quickly turned to leave, but it was too late. They, by opening the door, let the sun in and one of the demons spotted them. He threw a dagger at Tori, She dodged it and it hit the door behind them. Another demon was walking up to them. Tori took out her dagger and threw it hard at his right shoulder. Bewildered, he looked to his shoulder and saw that the blood from the wound was going down his leather jacket. "You fuckin' whore!" He screamed out. Enraged, he called the other two to his side. One of them demanded of Kari. "Are you with the half-breed?" Kari taking out her sword and answered. "Yes, I am." The moment she said that, the three forgot about their previous engagements and cornered Tori and Kari. `Bleep!' Thought Tori. `I knew this would happen sooner or later, but why now?' She saw her best friend, her only friend being attacked. She jumped forward in front of her. "You'll have to go through me first." The demons didn't care whom to kill. He threw another dagger at Tori she dodged it again. She took out her sword and cut off his right hand. One of the other demons walked up to her and was about to stab her. "No!!!" Kari screamed out as she ran toward her and pushed her away. Tori hit the wall and blacked out. When she regained consciousness, she saw Kari on the flood bleeding and covered in bruises. She gathered all her strength and tried to get up and walk to Kari, but she was unable to do so due to the impact of the landing she broke her leg. She knew that it was going to get better in a few minutes or so. She felt her bones growing back together and getting back in place. After another few minutes, she tried to get up again and succeeded. She walked toward the other side of the bar.

The floor was covered with dead half-breeds and humans, decapitated heads, scattered body parts. She was getting sick. `Stupid f****.' She thought. `Why is it always that on my birthday something has to happen?' She walked over to where Kari laid. She looked at her best friend; there was blood all over her, a few bruises here and there. Her body was trying to heal itself only it wasn't possible. Tori knew that she would not survive Kari was strong but not strong enough to fight off three demons all by herself. "Why did you do that?" she asked her as she came closer to her. She cut her own bicep, dipped her fingers in her own blood, put her fingers on Kari's heart and whispered Blood re-birth. Trying to help out her best friend, but it wasn't helping. "I love you Tori. You never give up hope." Kari said as soon as she got up enough strength to speak. "Don't you leave me too. I need you and you know it. You're the only one I have left." Tori said as tears were pouring out of her eyes. "I know Tori. We've been friends for 20 years now but I must go. I want you to have all of my possessions. Take all my money, things you might need. I want you to have my honor, my dagger, my sword and the Harley, as a memory of me." Kari told her. "No," Tori said. "You are not going to die! Your strong your body will heal itself." They both knew she was lying. "There's no need for false hope." Kari said. "We all know it won't help, and we both know I will not make it." "It never hurts to try." Tori said with a small smile, and tears rolling down her cheeks. "Don't cry Tor. Just remember do your best, fight your heart out and do try to pass your classes." She smiled a weak little smile. Tori crawled closer to her and embraced her in the tightest hug.

"I'm never gonna let you go." She said. "I love you Tori." Tori heard her best friend's heart beat slow down. "I love you too Kari." She said as her heart pounded its last two beats and stopped. Tori sat there on the floor of the bar crying, still holding her best friend

I awoke from my nightmare, wet with sweat. My moist bed sheets where tangled around me in strangling knots. I wiped my face, and looked down at the mess on my bed. I noticed blood on my sheets and on myself. I looked at the markings on my body and saw that a lot of them were bleeding. `Damn it,' I thought `this always happens when I have these dreams. Will they ever stop?' I groaned and tore the covers off of myself. I got off the bed carefully and went into the bathroom. I stood there for a moment, glancing in my mirror. I sighed and turned on the faucet, grabbed a nearby towel. As I dipped the towel into luck warm water, and washed off the blood carefully with the wet towel. I was thinking the dream over in I head. As soon as the blood was off the cuts disappeared. I went back to my room and looked at the clock. As I was laying down the clock read exactly 2 A.M. Tired, I fell fast asleep.
