InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ In The Fast Lane ❯ Black and Blue ( Chapter 2 )

Kagome sat in the large cafeteria stirring what looked to be mash potato with her plastic fork, dreading putting the yellowish mush into her system, let alone her mouth. Looking over she sighed as she watched Sango eat her bagged lunch, well her bagged lunch from McDonalds. Yet Inuyasha seemed to be enjoying his meal, he ate the cafeteria food like it was going out of style, he even went up for seconds with the chief was glad to give to him for free. Looking back to Sango, Kagome put on the biggest puppy eyes she could muster.

"Nope," Sango shook her head at her friend. "For the last and final time I am not giving you any."

"I know," Kagome groaned, she was about to go on when she noticed Sango's gaze wasn't on her but behind her. Listening intently she heard snickering and shuffling of feet. "If I turn around and see someone behind I swear I will hunt him or her down," she growled as she spun around on the cafeteria bench only to see a tray of the nasty slim and gunk fall onto her. Standing up she held her hands out and tried to wipe off some of the food.

"Would look at what you made me do bitch?" She could hear Inuyasha laugh

"You Fucking Asshole!" She yelled as she jumped at him, however Sango held her down. "LET GO! I'LL KILL HIM!"

"Yeah, let go Sango… Let's see what damage she can do," One of Inuyasha's many followers yelled. Sighing she let go off the struggling girl, who stormed up to Inuyasha.

"You are damn well proud of yourself, now aren't you?" Kagome asked as she poked him in the chest with her pointer finger.

"Actually yeah, having pudding in your hair is sure an improvement," Inuyasha started laughing at her only fueling her anger. "See this little girl can't do much harm, all she can do is poke."

There! That was it her patience had finally snapped, everything she had been holding in all day let go in one blazing ball of fire and there was only one way for Kagome to get rid of it all. Gripping her hand into a tight fist before she let all her anger and frustration through that signal punch, right into Inuyasha's left cheek. Taking her hand away she shook it held it between her knees until the pain subsided. Looking to Inuyasha, she saw that he had a hand lifted to his cheek, touching it gently.

Hearing the bell for everyone to head to their classes Kagome went to walk past however she stopped by his side.

"Now hear here Takashi… If I knew you were remotely capable of riding a bike I would settle this on the black top." Kagome whispered so only he heard it. "Now if you would excuse me I need to go change." She added loudly as she shoved past him.

Slowing his car down Inuyasha parked his red mustang in front of Miroku's garage. It was more of a home than anything else, before Miroku he had no home. He was forced to live with his half brother Sesshomaru, since his parents were never home let alone in the same country as him. He'd probable spent more time at Miroku's than at his own house, though his brother didn't seem to care much.

Looking the doors of his car he grabbed a black gym bag and walked through the front door. The front lobby was large and modern unlike the outside of the worn down warehouse. He knew there were a lot more in the building than just a garage, he had made sure of it when he helped Miroku remodel the building.

"Yo! Miroku, you back there?" he yelled through the back door into the garage.

"Come on back," he heard his friend call out. Sighing Inuyasha dropped his bag by the counter and ventured through the back door. He stopped by an old run down car that had his friend's feet sticking out from underneath it. Kicking them Miroku shoved himself from underneath it.

"Hey man." Miroku patted his friend on his back with greasy hands getting his white shirt dirty. "How's the… cheek," he asked as he looked at his friend's abused area, which was still purple and blue however the swelling had gone down somewhat.

"Who knew a girl her size could do that much damage." He laughed as he playfully punched Miroku in the arm.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look I have something to show you," Miroku said pushing Inuyasha towards the back of the garage to where something was covered by a white blanket.

Miroku took hold of the blankets corners and tugged underneath was a custom Honda 2004 Interceptor. The bike had a base color of black with a large white dog the ran across its side with it's mouth open as if it were to catch it's prey. Inuyasha knew by the look of it had over six hundred cubic centimeters of liquid cooled, in-line cylinders with digital ignition and much, much more. It was made for comfort and racing.

"So what ya think?" Miroku asked as he stood back and admired his handy work.

"Some nice handy work if you ask me," Inuyasha ran his hands over the aluminum covering.

"Will you race it than?"

"Nope."

"Oh come on Yash," Miroku asked as he put his hands together.

"Look I didn't come here to strike a bargain with you, I came to use the gym, kay?" Inuyasha more demanded than asked.

"Yeah I just gotta warn ya that my cousin's girl is in there." Miroku followed Inuyasha another door that led into a junction of hallways.

"I thought you were adopted?" Inuyasha inquired as he led Miroku down the halls.

"I was, but hey! Its still family."

"Have you met this girl?"

"Nope! Kouga can be pretty protective over his `girls', so that said, she had to be damn hot after the beating he gave me when I made some suggestions to his… life," Miroku laughed nervously, rubbing the bump on his head.

"Oh well. I want to work out and no wolf is gonna stop me!"

"I warned ya," Miroku shrugged when he went into a room as Inuyasha kept walking.

Opening the large glass door to the gym Inuyasha held in a yell. There doing sit ups on the floor was no other than Kocora (Kagome, but Inuyasha doesn't know that). She wore a hot pink sports bra and tight black shorts. A man slightly taller than Inuyasha with long brown hair that was tied up into a tight ponytail stood over her.

"150!" he exclaimed. "Come on K. only 50 more to go."

"Than after that it will be an hour on the treadmill, 150 pushups, 70 minutes on a bike and if you feel like it, I will probable just start all over again," She breathed as her breath kept getting caught in her sore throat.

Inuyasha looked at the two that faced away from him, Kocora's muscular tan body glistened from sweat as she finished her sit-ups. The concentration in her face was evident as she listened to the man's coaching. Once she got to 200 she stood, the sweat running down her sleek body leaving thin lines on her tight muscular stomach. That's when he saw it, the tattoo on her stomach close to her belt line. A black butterfly with red wings that imitated flames, it seemed do familiar to him. Looking to her face, he saw her eyes travel to him slowly.

"So tell me Inuyasha, do you always sneak up on girls when they're exercising?" She asked him sarcastically with her hands on her hips.

"Well… I…NO!" Inuyasha stuttered as he looked for an intelligent answer.

"What's wrong Dog-Boy? Cat got your tongue?" Asked the man next to Kocora.

"Kouga that's enough, why don't you go get something to eat while I talk to Inuyasha," Kocora said as she shoved Kouga out the door.

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha hissed at Kocora as she shut the door.

"I'm living here for the time being," Kocora walked over to a treadmill and began to run.

"What do you mean `you're living here'?" He was finding it hard to concentrate, here was this beautiful young woman covered in glistening sweat running on a treadmill wearing nothing but a sports bra and shorts, and he was trying to have some what of a civilized conversation.

"We needed somewhere to stay…" Kocora said more to her self than to Inuyasha.

"We?"

"Me and my… family," Kocora was unsure of her answer, saying it slowing. The door to the gym creaked open slowly as two new heads popped in. Running a hand over her face Kocora stared at the two intruders. "Yes, Ginta… Hakkaku?" She growled out slowly.

"We…a…just wanted to see what you were doing," they answered nervously scared at the glare their friend was giving them quietly.

"Huh… Well what's up with the exercising," Inuyasha tried to strike up another conversation. He didn't want her to leave; there was something about her that he wanted to know, what he needed to know. She was intriguing to him, though she could throw one hell of a punch.

And yet again the door creaked open to reveal a curious Miroku, spotting Kocora he walked up to her. Taking both hands in his, he looked to her innocently.

"My fair lady, yet have I to come across such a fair lady, may I ask thy name?"

"Ummm… Kocora?" She answered him nervously.

"May I ask you a question, Kocora?"

"…Sure…"

"Will you bare my child?" He winced waiting for the punch to his skull, the thrash in the face however it never came. He felt her get off the treadmill opening his eyes he watched her remove her hands from his and run it down his chest.

"Actually you know what?" Miroku shook his head nervously. Kocora smiled somewhat and brought her knee up in one swift motion, "I don't have sex with a guy I only know for 10 seconds, NOW GET OUT MIROKU!" Nodding he ran to the door as fast as he could. Sighing Kocora stepped back onto the treadmill.

"I've seen girls hit him over heads with everything from books to chairs to medal poles but never have I seen a girl do that," Inuyasha commented as he tried to keep his laughter in. "Why did you do that anyways?"

Kocora was about to answer him when the glass door opened and a young red headed girl stepped in. "Umm… It's time to go, it's 8:45." She said as she looked between the two.

"I'll be right there in a moment, thanks Ayami." Kocora got off the treadmill and grabbed a towel when the red head left.

"Is everyone in your `family' wolf Youkai?" Inuyasha asked as he tossed his gym bag over against the wall.

"Their not my real family, were all kind of run-away's or have no where else to go." Kocora walked over to the door. "Well I guess I'll be seeing you in school tomorrow than."

Inuyasha watched her as she walked out the door. Why was she so familiar to him?! Hopping on the treadmill he ran losing track of time, lost in his own thoughts that were interrupted by the glass door opening once again.

"Can't anyone give someone any privacy in this fucking building," he cursed as he watched Miroku walk in.

"I am sorry your mighty highness Inuyasha. I was just wondering if you wanted to come with me tonight…"

"Where?"

"Downtown, just for a bit, have some fun," Miroku shrugged his shoulders. Regardless of what his instincts were telling him he agreed.
