InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Perfect Meal ❯ Pleasant scent ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter 1: Pleasant Scent

 

Kagome sighed as she walked into her apartment after a long day at work. She took off her jacket and hung it up onto the coat rack.

 

“Meow,” her cat Buyo cried. Kagome leaned down and pet the overweight cat. Life was so boring… So predictable…

 

Kagome went to go eat some dinner then she would go take a bath. That's what she always did after work. She wished something would happen. Anything would happen.

Inuyasha walked through the artificially lit streets heading home. He was bored. He needed some excitement. Time to explore the human world he decided heading towards the door leading to the surface.

 

His long silver hair flowed around him as he opened the heavy steal door. His gold eyes scanned his surroundings before jumping up out of the dark ally he came out of. He landed on a building roof and examined the bright city.

 

Inuyasha wasn't human to be blunt. He was a demon. A half-demon to be exact. His mother was human and his father was demon making him in the middle of both worlds.

 

He jumped from building to building not knowing where he was going. As a demon he needed to eat humans to stay alive, but he refused to eat them. Instead he would eat other animals to keep up his strength. They actually didn't eat the whole human. They mainly focused on blood. Blood was what they needed.

 

A sweet scent drifted into Inuyasha's nose causing him to change directions. He followed the scent until he got to an apartment building. This scent was driving him crazy in more ways than one. He jumped down onto a balcony and looked into the dark apartment. Suddenly the lights came on and Inuyasha his away from the glass doors. A young woman walked into the room wearing a towel around her body. Good lord was she beautiful. Inuyasha couldn't look away. The girl began to put on some comfortable clothes. Who was this beautiful creature? Why was he so affected be her?

 

Inuyasha grew tense when he smelled another demon around. He knew this demon. Naraku was his name and he liked torturing his meals before actually eating them. Naraku appeared in the doorway of her bedroom and Inuyasha growled protectively. Before Naraku could pounce Inuyasha burst into the room. The girl let out a scream and fell back onto her bed. Naraku looked at Inuyasha in shock. When Naraku was denied something he only wanted it more.

 

“Now now Inuyasha. There is enough for both of us,” Naraku smirked.

 

“Don't even think about touching her,” Inuyasha growled. Naraku snarled at him before pouncing toward him. The girl screamed with the two men collided. It sounded like two animals fighting with all the growls and snarls that were coming from them. Naraku threw Inuyasha toward the bed and he landed next to the girl.

 

“What are you still doing here? Run!” Inuyasha demanded. The girl didn't have to be told twice before getting up and running out of the room.

 

“Why are you scaring away my dinner?” Naraku asked.

 

“Find your dinner elsewhere. This girl is my perfect meal,” Inuyasha stated. “I am going to hunt her myself.”

 

“We'll settle this in the morning then,” Naraku said and disappeared. Inuyasha sighed in relief and stared at the now dirty room. He began to pick up all the stuff that had been knocked over. The girl cautiously entered her room, but gasped when she saw Inuyasha. He turned to face her and put down the pillow he was holding.

 

“Are you alright?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Who are you and what do you want with me?”

 

“It's complicated. I should probably leave you alone now.” Inuyasha went towards the balcony.

 

“Wait! Thank you for saving my life. If that's what you were trying to do.”

 

“It's no problem. May I know your name before I leave?”

 

“It's Kagome. Kagome Higurashi.”

 

“I'm Inuyasha. Well have a nice life Kagome Higurashi.” With that Inuyasha jumped off of the balcony.

 

Kagome ran over to the railing and looked down at the ground. He was gone. She sighed and went back into her room. She climbed into her bed and snuggled under the covers.

 

Inuyasha watched Kagome fall asleep and stayed near her all night to make sure she was safe.

Inuyasha entered the demon would again to find Naraku waiting for him.

 

“Tell me what that was all about,” Naraku demanded.

 

“She's my perfect meal. I'd appreciate it if you left her alone,” Inuyasha explained.

 

“What a bunch of lies! You don't eat humans!”

 

“Even so I don't want you touching her. She's mine.”

 

“I don't take well to threats. I will get her whether you like it or not.”

 

“Touch her and you're dead. I promise you that,” Inuyasha warned and left. He went to the apartment that he shared with his brother, Sesshomaru. He sighed as he entered his home.

 

“Where have you been all night?” Sesshomaru asked.

 

“I've been exploring. I found an interesting girl,” Inuyasha smiled.

 

“Good for you. I'm going to work now,” Sesshomaru stated and left. Inuyasha went to his couch and lay down. Demons usually never slept so there was no need for any beds, Inuyasha stared at the ceiling thinking about the human girl he just met.

Kagome rushed down the sidewalk trying to catch the bus on time. She had woken up late and barely had any time to get ready. She made it to the bus on time and climbed on to it quickly. Kagome was a poor college student that worked at a restaurant to help pay for some of her fees. She chewed on her bottom lip trying to figure out if last night had been real or not.

 

Kagome got out on her stop and went to her university. After a painful morning of lectures she had to work. It was as if last night never even happened. She was still stuck in her boring life. She began to wait tables not caring who was actually at the restaurant.

 

Something abnormal caught her attention and she saw her savior from last night. In a corner booth sat Inuyasha. She slowly walked over to him as if he would vanish into thin air if she moved quickly.

 

“Are you ready to order sir?”

 

“I'll have a glass of water. That's all.”

 

“I'll bring that right away,” Kagome smiled and walked away. Did he remember her? Did last night even happen? She returned with the water and set it down in front of him.

 

“Thank you Kagome. I appreciate it,” Inuyasha smiled as she walked away. She stopped and turned back to him.

 

“Do you remember me from last night?” she asked hopefully.

 

“Of course I do. This must sound creepy, but I am following you around,” Inuyasha stated.

 

“Why are you doing that? I am no one exciting.”

 

“The other man that was there last night is hunting you. You are in a lot of danger.”

 

Kagome burst out laughing, not believing a word he said. Why would anyone want to “hunt” her? What kind of joke was this?

 

“Are you serious? What do you mean by hunt?” Kagome questioned.

 

“I can't explain it to you. It's really complicated and I think you need to get back to work.”

 

“After my shift we will have to talk. I can't be in danger, I live a normal and boring life.” Kagome got back to work and tried to concentrate on getting her shift done with.

 

………………………&# 8230;………………………… …………………………̷ 0;……………………

 

“Time to explain Inuyasha,” Kagome demanded.

 

“Promise me you won't laugh or completely ignore me?”

 

“Fine, fine, just explain everything to me.”

 

“Well I am a demon. There is a whole world of demons underground and all of them come out at night to feed on humans. Last night Naraku picked you as his meal, but I stopped him. When I got back to the demon world he didn't like my threats and said he would hunt you no matter what.”

 

Kagome just looked at him trying to soak everything in. Her eyes grew wide in fascination. Was this guy for real? Did he really expect her to believe that?

 

“Okay, who are you really? Are you some crazy serial killer that's going to make me his next victim?”

 

“No, I'm a demon. I know it's hard to believe, but you have to. Your life depends on it.”

 

“Demons don't exist! What are you talking about? You're not making any sense to me.”

 

“Look at me Kagome. Look at my hair and my eyes. Don't you find them strange at all?”

 

“Where I work I see a lot of different hair colors and there is this thing called colored contacts.”

 

Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders and made her hold eye contact with him. “How do you explain what happened last night? Think about it logically.”

 

“No, you think logically. You sound absolutely crazy!”

 

“Just stop thinking for two seconds and just try to accept that there is the tiniest possibility that demons do exist. Who ever told you they didn't?”

 

Kagome stared at him in shock. She began to accept it, but she still wasn't sure. She didn't know how this was possible, but she would play along with his little fantasy for now. If he was telling the truth then she really was in danger.

 

“Why is this happening to me? Why are you protecting me?”

 

“I don't eat humans. It's hard to explain why. We'll have to save it for another day.”

 

“This is my life you're talking about! Why are you so calm?”

 

“Calm down, Kagome. I won't let him lay a finger on you. I promise you that,” Inuyasha promised looking her dead in the eyes. Kagome felt better and decided to trust Inuyasha for now.
