Chapter 2: Two Imposters

 

 

At approximately 5:26 a.m. an uproarious chain of swears emitting from Little Betty's Diner was reported to be faintly heard all the way from Looneyville, Texas.

 

Two tangled, distressed bodies lie in the entrance of Little Betty's Diner sore from gravity's advantage. Though both were conscious, the previous incident replayed relentlessly in each of their minds, thus preventing the two startled bodies from rising. They remained that way for another twenty seconds until…

 

“Get the hell off of me, wench,” a crude voice interrupted Kagome's thoughts. The peculiar man pried the waitress from his body and shoved her aside.

 

“Oh god. I'm- oh dammit- I am so sorry,” Kagome sputtered while eyeing the clock timidly. She crawled uneasily over to the victim of the collision, only to be pushed back by his muscular arm.

 

“Stay away from me, wench! You already broke my nose,” the man whined immaturely. However, this only annoyed Kagome further while he persisted to call her “wench” instead of her given name. Perturbed by the childish man, she muttered insults under her breath.

 

Soft, delicate ears faintly picked up Kagome's angry babble and a frustrated expression clouded the man's face. “Speak up, wench, I can't hear you.”

 

A vein popped out on Kagome's usually smooth forehead and she grabbed the man's white, shirt collar furiously. “I said, you arrogant asshole, my name is Kagome. Ka-go-me,” she stated callously while her voice projected throughout the diner.

 

Taken aback slightly by the infuriated woman's reaction, he watched wide eyed as Kagome fearfully crawled away, mumbling something along the lines of “Please don't fire me. I'm sorry…” while she avoided his stare. 'This girl is absolutely mad!'

 

'She must think I'm Sesshomaru.' He decided as collected his strength and sprung to his feet, taking a pen from his pocket and a lone napkin from the bar's counter. “What's your name again, wench?” the man asked with a toothy grin. 'This could be amusing'

 

Kagome, agitated by the stranger's cocky attitude, couldn't help herself while she glided over to the man and she pounded down a fist on the glossy counter. “It's Kagome, Kagome Higurashi,” she eyed the pen as he wrote down her name on the napkin and placed the folded note in his pocket. “And are you the notorious Sesshomaru, who cowardly rules this diner from his office?” Kagome continued in a juvenile tone.

 

Hearing Kagome verbally accuse him of being Sesshomaru made the man feel unusually sick, therefore he decided that he'd end this little game. “Actually, wench, my name is Inuyasha and I've come to collect the money. So if you'll please step aside, little girl.” Inuyasha strutted arrogantly past Kagome and to the cash register, ignoring the confused teen's grunts of protest.

 

Suddenly aware of Inuyasha's intention she threw her fragile body in front of the cash register fending off the intruder. Looking at him through squinted eyes, Kagome was finally able to fully observe Inuyasha. His sleek, silver hair was tied back in a loose pony tail, while strands of hair framed his face as an effect of the collision. Sitting comfortably on top of Inuyasha's head, two furry triangles twitched sensitively when a gust of cool air blew past them. Though he appeared to be demonic, she noted that his clothing was that of an average human as he wore a white polo shirt and a pair of clean jeans. When she had looked him up and down, piercing golden eyes bored holes in Kagome's own and forced her to look away blushing. Finding her confidence once again, Kagome spoke up:

 

“I'll call the cops if you don't leave this instant. I've already seen your face and I won't hesitate to inform them of your burglary attempt,” Kagome said proudly as she puffed her chest out in a pathetic attempt to appear forceful.

 

In reality a situation in where you're threatened with the police wouldn't appear humorous…that is if you were anybody else but Inuyasha.

 

To be truthful Inuyasha did not want to truly offend the obviously proud young girl before him, but the situation itself was just too ridiculous to be looked past. Kagome fell back into the counter as she suspiciously eyed the delighted Inuyasha roar with laughter. Getting a little offended by his obvious rudeness, the dainty waitress crossed her arms and pouted while she waited for Inuyasha to calm down.

 

Reaching a clawed hand towards Kagome's shoulder, Inuyasha fought to clutch onto her when she tried to pull away. With tear-filled and elated eyes, Inuyasha looked once again at Kagome trying to stifle his outbursts of laughter.

 

“You stupid wench, I'm his brother. I hope you realize I can have you fired for what you tried to pull just now.” Kagome shriveled under Inuyasha's hand and inwardly cursed her tainted luck for insulting her manager's own blood!

 

“Half-brother,” a monotone voice said from the doorway.

 

Instinctively, Inuyasha and Kagome split apart as if the other was diseased. A man of about 23 leaned against the cerise doors' frame in a casual and bored manner. Kagome couldn't recall ever seeing him before, but decided against interrogating the already intimidating looking man.

 

“Sesshomaru,” Inuyasha greeted the tall man grimly. Opening the cash register swiftly, Inuyasha gathered up the money and handed it to the eerily patient Sesshomaru.

 

“He's only my half-brother, Kagome, so don't be intimidated by the weakling. And until Inuyasha turns 20 he's under my care,” Sesshomaru reminded the two before he exited into the darkness of his office. Kagome gave Inuyasha a questioning look, but he shrugged it off saying it was “family matters”.

 

Once again Kagome was hit with the reality that she was now 45 minutes late, when she looked down at Inuyasha's silver watcher. 'Oh Souta…'

 

Inuyasha began to open the door to freedom, before he took one guilty glance at the distressed girl standing beside the cash register. 'That wench had been in such a hurry… I'm sure I made her late.' Deciding at last that he would be civil, Inuyasha opened the door slightly and turned towards Kagome. “Hey wench, I know it was your fault in the first place, but you look stupid just standing there. Do you want me to give you a ride home?”

 

The petite waitress looked incredulously at Inuyasha, before nodding her head ever so slightly. She threw her robin's egg blue skate over her shoulder and trumped out of the diner, unhappy about being in Inuyasha's presence longer than needed. Once in the parking lot, her silver-haired nemesis led her towards a sharp-looking, red sports car.

 

“This is yours?” Kagome asked uncomfortably before he finally nudged her into the car. She traced the leather seats with her long index finger before she began to toy with the door's lock. However, like a child being denied an ice cream cone, Inuyasha gripped onto Kagome's wandering hands and gave her a dirty look. (a/n: that sounded a lot worse than it had to…)

 

“Don't get used to it, okay? Just tell me when to turn and I'll make this ride as quick as possible,” Inuyasha warned fervently as he released her aching fingers.

 

As promised, the car ride was a quick and silent one, relieving both Inuyasha and Kagome when she asked him to stop. Instantly fleeting from her seat once the sports car halted, Kagome shyly thanked Inuyasha and turned toward the massive iron Gate that guarded the large brink house. Getting the hint that Kagome wanted him to leave Inuyasha sped off onto another street before leaving for his own home.

 

An exasperated sigh escaped Kagome's cherry red lips, while she bent over to tie her roller-skates back on her feet. 'What did I do now?' Kagome craned her neck to observe her surroundings before looking back at the beautiful, brick house. Its lush garden of yellows and pinks and large oak trees appealed to Kagome in a way that only seemed fit for dreaming.

 

However, what she forgot to mention to Inuyasha was that she was on the brink of loosing her own apartment that she shared with her mother and younger brother. Fortunately, the apartment complex was within a mile's distance and she had recently developed the ability to skate quickly. 'But was this really worth impressing Inuyasha?' Kagome shook her head quickly and let the thought briskly evaporate from her mind. With one last look at her supposed “house”, Kagome impulsively passed through the lovely neighborhood.

 

Once Inuyasha had pulled into his driveway and parked his car, his hand went instinctively towards his pocket to find the phone his girlfriend had no doubt been texting constantly. Instead a crumpled napkin plummeted into his palm and he glanced at the name written on it. “Kagome Higurashi,” it read, “who are you?”

 

To the human eye one could not tell what Inuyasha was feeling, for he currently wore a mask much like his brother's…yet if one looked very, very close they might be able to see that slight flicker in Inuyasha's amber eyes that spoke of his wonder for that unlikely girl.
