InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Project IY14 ❯ Chapter 2 - Space Truckers ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

The year is 2500 A.D.

The blood of humans and youkai is almost completely integrated. IN fact the full blood youkai died out almost 600 years ago, taking with them the ability to transform into the great beast Gods that ruled the lands of the earth. Many attempts have been made to recapture this lost power through cloning and genetic engineering, but with no genetic map from a full blood youkai, all attempts failed.

Until now...

Pairings: Sessh/Rin, Inuyasha/Kagome, Miroku/Sango

Chapter 2

The Midoriko hand once been a military vessel shipping soldiers and supplies around the various galaxies. It was basically a moving barracks, each room had four beds situated against the wall, the cluster shaped like an elongated honeycomb. The ship was much too outdated in its technology and speed for the ever changing world of the military, but for a crew of six space truckers it worked out just perfectly, everyone their own room to them selves.

Inuyasha Wakahisa was sitting on the small couch in his room, rubbing both sides of his face angrily. Who did that girl think she was anyway? She'd only been with them for a week and already she was acting like head mechanic instead of his assistant. Trust Miroku to pick up the headstrong ones, if only Kougahadn't decided to run off and married that girl on planet Chehalis.

Sure he had called Kagome a whiny bitch, but she didn't have to deck him one for it. Besides, she had it coming. The first thing she did when Miroku introduced her to him was run up and tweak the fuzzy white ears on top of his head to “see if they were real.” Of course they were real, what rock had she crawled out from under that she had never seen a hanyou before?

Of course he wasn't a full hanyou, meaning he had one full blood youkai parent, full blooded youkai had died out 600 years ago, and full hanyous had disappeared not long after that. Not that Inuyasha knew who his parents were, he had no memories before his adopted mother Izayoi Wakahisa had found him, beaten and broken in a back alley of Tokyo.

Still, even if he was not a full hanyou, many people with less than one quarter of youkai blood in their family had shown animal characteristics, like fuzzy ears or tails or occasionally claws. It all depended on the genetic lottery of phenotypes.

Inuyasha's left cheek smarted again and he continued to rub it. He had to admit Kagome had a pretty good right hook. Unfortunately, as he stumbled out into the hallway after Kagome's punch, he muttered something about women being nothing but troublemakers just as co-pilot Sango walked in and she decked him one on the other cheek.

Women.

Still, that Kagome has a nice figure… He'd never actually run up and groped a girl, like Miroku seemed to enjoy doing to Sango, and every other girl he met above the age of fifteen for that matter, but for Inuyasha there was no harm in just looking Kagome over once in awhile…

A knock at the door to his room snapped the hanyou out of his reverie.

“Yeah?”

“It's Miroku.”

“Come on in.”

Inuyasha leaned back against the couch, as his partner entered the room. Miroku looked as if he had just gotten away scott-free from groping Sango's butt.

“Successful venture with Sango?” Inuyasha smirked.

“No, but this cheered me up quite well. I was just contacted by general Kagura; she wants us to run supply shipments for her bioweapons facility.” Miroku beamed. “The last contractor quit for some reason.”

“Alright, where is it?” The idea of a military contract had perked up Inuyasha's curiosity.

“Shikon Military Base, planet Toki.”

“What?! That's out in the middle of effing nowhere!” Inuyasha protested.

“I know, so I need you and Kagome to make sure the jump-boosters are in tip top condition,” Miroku said, while trying to muster up as much authority as he could.

“But it's in the middle of effing nowhere!” Inuyasha's ears flattened against the back of his head in annoyance.

Miroku played his trump card, “But we're going to get paid five times our normal fee.”

Inuyasha's ears perked straight up on his head. “Five times?”

“Yeah, and the work is going to be steady, for however long their current project on that planet is going to last.”

“Well.” Inuyasha sighed. “I guess I'd better get to those jump-engines.” Inuyasha got up and walked to the door.

“Good!”

“By the way, what's Rin cooking tonight?” The white hair hanyou asked, pressing the button that signaled the door to open.

“Rib eye steak.”

“Real steak or soy packs?” Inuyasha crossed his arms and leaned on the doorway.

“Well, since we got this juicy contract we decided to splurge and get real meat!”

“Alright! Life is good. Now if I could just get Kagome to not be such a bitch.”

Unfortunately, just as Inuyasha said that, Kagome was walking down the hallway. Upon hearing the hanyou's comment, her fist clenched around the wrench she held in her hand and she smacked him upside the head with said fist.

“Jerk!” She snapped, before storming off down the corridor.

“Oy…. Who was it who said `Life is good?'” Miroku sighed, watching Inuyasha growling after Kagome
