InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'll miss ya ❯ Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I was sitting in my usual spot outside at lunchtime. I was alone of course, until Kagome and Sango came up to me. "Hey there Tori." Sango said.

"Hello, look you guys, I just want apologize for the other day. And it was really nice of you to come here now, and ask me to hang out with you the other day."

"Um… well that's why we came here. We got a job the other day and well they told us they'd call and they did."

"Yea, today in the morning." Sango interrupted a bit pissed off. "Well anyway they called and asked to come in today. I'm really sorry Tori can we reschedule?"

"Ahem… We're sorry." Kagome corrected her best friend, whom just smiled.

"Oh." I looked at them "Yea sure… we could reschedule, I'll call you later or something." I got up and left. I think they called after me and said something like "Tori you don't have our numbers." But I wasn't paying attention.

`Great. I should have known better. I let my guard down for one day and this is what happens. I'm never agreeing to do anything with them again' I thought.

-------------------------------------------------

After school Kagome and Sango went home to drop off their books. They met up in a few minutes and took Sango's uncle's car again.

"Man, I'm so thankful for this car, I'm glad he lets me use it. My father would never let me use it. He trusted me with a lot of things, but not cars. Always thought I'd kill myself and others. Heh, reckless driver, Am not." Sango said.

"Um…Sango… You did almost kill Tori the other day and you do go quite fa--" Kagome stopped when she saw Sango staring at her. "Sorry."

"No don't apologize you're only saying that because it's true. Be thankful uncle trusts me."

With that said they were off to work.

-------------------------------------------------------

I went home as usual. `Great it's Friday night, Kari's somewhere, no to be found as usual. I'm home by myself, great days.' I thought. As I continued to walk I tripped over my bondage straps and was expecting to fall face first onto the hard ground, but instead I only felt warmth, smelled something fresh and something soft underneath me. Just then I realized that I had fallen on someone. I opened my eyes and saw that I was on someone's bare back. `Why are people walking around with no shirts on?!' I thought `Ah crap, it's him again.' I thought recognizing the scent. I got up quickly and tried not to blush, but that was easier said then done.

"Seems we're always bumping into each other." The guy said.

"Um…Yea…" I tried to smile but couldn't.

"Tori, would you mind hanging out? It's Friday night and well my friends ditched me, and well knowing you, which I think I do, you don't have any plans either. So how about it?"

"Um… I don't know… I was going to go home and just relax… but ok, fine I guess. Just let me go home drop my stuff off and we could go."

"Ok great, I'll go with you if you like."

"Um…. No that's ok. Just lemme get your number and I'll call you when I'm ready."

"Ok… My number is 917-750-0777. As soon as you can go call me."

"Aha… Ok, see ya." And with that I left.

`Hmm… should I hang out with him…? It kinda feels weird… eh why now? I mean it's not like I have anything better to do.' I said to myself entering the house. `Although I do need some furniture for my apartment… So I'll hang out with him for a few hours and then go to the mall. Oh man, I have work tomorrow and Sunday eh…' I went upstairs to my room and put my stuff down on the desk. I decided to make a list of the furniture I'd need to get. `A new desk, couch, maybe a coffee table, hmm…*walks into the kitchen* a new table for the kitchen… maybe a new entertainment thing for the living room…. I think that's all I'll need. *walks into bedroom* hmm… maybe I'll look for a new bed… I think I'm good.' I wrote it all down in a little blue pad that I always keep with me and put it back into my pants pocket. I sat down in front of my computer and took out my Mp3 I uploaded a few more songs on it and went to the closet. `Let's see… what shall I wear?' I took out my grey bondage pants a light green t-shirt and a black sweater that said `Skinny Kitty'. It was pretty chilly outside today and she didn't want to get cold. I looked around my room and found a pack of cigarettes `Kari should have more; I'll get it from her when I get home.' I put it in my pants and went to the phone. I called him and left the house. We were to meet up a few blocks down no too far from the park. I was listening to my Mp3 as I was walking to the corner to meet him.

"Hey." He said

"Right back at ya." Was all I could manage to say and gave him a weak little smile.

"Oh come on what's wrong? You used to smile all the time before. What's wrong?"

"Yea… I used to smile when I were around you lots of reasons. Are you sure your girlfriend wont stalk me now?"

"No… I don't have one."

"Yea, that's what you said last time. And then their calling me at school calling me at school and bothering me when ever they got a chance to. Thanks." I smiled.

"Oh look you smiled." He said sarcastically.

"*gasp* Oh now… what shall I ever do?" She answered in the same sarcastic tone.

"So are we just gonna stand here? Or go somewhere?"

"We're waiting for a friend of mine and then we go to the park."

"Yea… Are you sure this `friend of yours' wont kill me?"

"Yes, he doesn't even know you. Don't worry."

We stood there for a few more minutes without saying a word to each other.

"Hey Miroku!" We heard. I turned around and saw that white haired hanyou I saw Miroku with earlier in the week. I took out my pack of cigarettes and took one out. I lit it and was happy that she had done so… it was a way for her to relieve some of her tension.

"Still smoking I see."

"Yea, you thought I'd quit? I've been smoking since 7th grade it's kinda like an addiction."

"You really shouldn't… its bad for you."

"You wanna talk about what's bad for you?" He shook his head. "Didn't think so, so let's not start telling me what's bad for me…Hello." I extended my hand to the hanyou that had just joined them. He shook my hand and said "Hi, I'm Inu Yasha."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Tori." I said smiling a bit

"Oh so you smile when you shake hands with him but all I get is a `Right back at ya' and a smirk…You suck Tori."

"Thanks Miroku, as if I haven't heard that one in the beginning of the year." I snapped back at him.

"Wow, you're the chick that… Oh shit… man Miroku you're an ass." Inu Yasha said. I looked at him knowing what he was talking about and looked down at the ground… I couldn't let anyone see weakness in my eyes.

"Ok are we just gonna stand here or go somewhere?" I asked a bit more aggravated not wishing to hear anything else about her past. Everyone just looked at me and smiled "What?!" I asked confused as to why they were smiling

"Oh nothing Tor, come on lets go to the park." Miroku said sighing and put a hand around her shoulders. `Damn she's hot, why did I ever do what I did to her? Oh yes, Kikyou.' Miroku thought `But I don't think she was even worth all the crap. She wasn't even that pleasurable.' He looked over at Tori who was now walking in front of him. His hand was about to touch her ass when a hand went flying into his face. "I didn't do anything." He said

"You were about to, I know you Miroku. You still haven't changed one bit." He just smiled and his eyes trailed off to my ass again. I shook my head and went back to the conversation I was having with the hanyou. He was blabbering on about Martial Arts, and things I had already known.

"Yea well if you think that's bad, try having Miroku as a friend. All he does is grope your but…Well that's if you're a chick." I smiled at the look Inu Yasha was giving me.

"Yea, I see the way he treats women. It's horrible, he's horrible."

"Look…I bet you anything he's staring at my ass right about now…" Inu Yasha looks back and nodes. "And right about now he's going in for another grope." Sure enough he was. And again I smacked him before he was able to do anything. We both laughed at the face he was making.

`How the hell does she do that?' Miroku thought `probably her cat instinct. Man that still freaks me out.' He looked from Tori to Inu Yasha `looks like their bonding. A hanyou and a cat demon, how nice. Shouldn't they be fighting over something like cats and dogs usually do. I never thought a cat and a dog would get along so well.'

We got to the park and went to the swing part. I jumped over the gate and grabbed my favorite swing. `Since there are only two swigs, those two would either have to share or well share.' I laughed at my thoughts. I swung myself not paying attention to the bickering of those two. `How could Inu Yasha and I be bonding so damn well? It's not possible for a hanyou and a cat demon to be like this without fighting.' I shrugged at my thought. It didn't bother me at the moment. I turned on my Mp3 player and sung along to Alice Cooper - Poison. They looked at me in amazement; obviously neither one of them had ever heard me sing. Nor have any of them ever thought that she would listen to that kind of music. `Hmm I wonder what the look on their faces would be like if I were to sing Mudvayne.' I took my Mp3 out of my pocket and clicked on the `next' button until I found the song I was looking for - Mudvayne - World So Cold. The look on their faces was unforgettable. The fact that Miroku had thought that I didn't listen to that kind of music cracked me up inside. I hung out with them for a few more hours at the park and said that I need to get to the mall before it closes. I asked them if they'd like to join me and they agreed. I found a really great table for the kitchen it had these carvings of all types of swords it was really beautiful, the table for my bedroom is really a simple one, although the legs were carved in a spiraling way and it looked like it had vines running around it. I actually found this nice bed; it was a canopy bed with light blue and white curtains. Although I couldn't find anything for the living room everything was great. Not only that but I was actually having a great time with Miroku and Inu Yasha. I had never expected to see Miroku again, let alone have fun with him. After hanging out with the two I went home. I was a little tired and needed to get some rest before work tomorrow. Miroku had asked me to hang out with them again and I agreed. So I'll have to call them tomorrow after work. It was a great day; I never thought I would spend a day with Miroku again after what had happened earlier this year.

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

Tori was sitting in fashion illustration drawing a new outfit for the model that she had drawn on the paper. She was talking to a girl; she had met at a concert she had gone to earlier that week, about bands and other things. All of the sudden her foot vibrated, she got a little freaked out but then remembered it was just her cell. She took out her silver flip phone and saw the name `Miroku' flashing. She got all happy inside she didn't speak to him in a long time and wanted to hear his sweet voice. She asked to go to the bathroom and left the room. Instead of going to the bathroom she went on the stair case and dialed her voicemail. Instead of hearing Miroku's voice she heard some chick's snotty voice telling her to back off and leave `her man' alone. `Her man?!' She thought listening over and over to the message. A tear threatened to fall down her cheek but she fought it back. She closed her phone and made her way to the bathroom, now she really needed to wash her face with some cold water. She went back to her class after a few minutes in the bathroom. On her free she went outside to get some food. She found an acquaintance outside. Well she was more of a friend then an acquaintance. She told her what had happened in class and then her phone went off again. It was either that chick again or Miroku this time. She was still hoping it would be Miroku even though she knew it wouldn't be.

"Great." She said to her friend covering the mouth piece. "It's her again." Tori's mouth dropped open as she listened to the person on the phone. "The nerve." She was about to flip on the person on the other side of the phone but a hand on her shoulder reassured her.

"It'll be ok Tor, no need to flip, leave it be, just hang up and don't pick up the phone anymore." Tori did just that. "What'd she say?" The girl had asked Tori.

"She said that I'm a whore and arg, so much more crap that isn't true… its all so damn disgusting. I don't even want to talk about it."

"Yea, you do, but that's ok. I understand you know I'll be more then glad to listen and give advice if I can't when you're ready to tell me everything."

Tori fell back on to the grass and looked up at the sky as a tear rolled out of her eyes.

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

When I got home I took a long bath. Being tiered and all I went right to bed.
