InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Scandalous ❯ Reunion ( Chapter 17 )

Chapter 17: Reunion!

 

Aine looked at her stomach in the body mirror hanging in her room. It was pretty much healed all the way, but the word `mate' was scarred into her stomach. She sighed and ran her finger over the word. The silver birthmarks that ran all over her back had disappeared around the time Kurana scarred her stomach. She wondered why that was.

 

She dropped her shirt and ran down stairs for breakfast. “Good morning everyone!” she smiled as she grabbed an apple.

 

“Good morning Aine. How did you sleep?” Kagome asked.

 

“Very well thank you! I'm going to go out for a jog now,” Aine stated walking to the door.

 

“Wait a second Aine! The next time you see Dustin, tell him I'd like to speak with him about some things,” Inuyasha called.

 

“Will do dad!” Aine called back and walked out the door. She began walking down the sidewalk until she came to a dirt trail leading into a forest. This is where she would always run when she needed to. She took off down the path and ran for about thirty minutes before stopping at her favorite tree. She walked around it to cool down from her run and then sat down to catch her breath.

 

She ran her hands over her face to wipe off the little beads of sweat that had formed there. Something started rustling in the branches up above her. She looked up and saw a black figure hop from one branch to another. What the hell was that?

 

She stood and got ready to fight if she had to. She had no idea what that thing was, but she didn't want to take any chances. The figure jumped down in front of her and stepped to where Aine could see it clearly. Her eyes widened considerably and a smile spread across her face. She ran forward and jumped on to the figure.

 

“Oh my god Jiro! Where did you come from?!” Aine asked hugging the wolf demon. It was Jiro. He looked exactly the same as before. How was this possible? Did he come to her time by accident?

 

“Aine? Is that really you?” he asked.

 

“Yes! It is! Did you come here with me and Dustin too? Where's Shiori?” Aine asked.

 

“What are you talking about Aine? The last time I talked to you was over 500 years ago,” Jiro stated.

 

“That doesn't make sense! I just saw you a week ago! You still look exactly the same! How would you remember me if it's been 500 years?” Aine said confused.

 

“I'm a demon Aine. We are basically immortal unless someone kills us. Besides how could I forget my first potential mate? It's kinda hard to forget the girl you think you fell in love with for the first time,” Jiro smiled.

 

“Is Shiori with you? What happened with Kurana? Tell me everything! Wait! Let's go get Dustin!” Aine exclaimed getting hyper from all the excitement.

 

“Slow down Aine. Why don't you go get Dustin and meet me back here in an hour? Don't get too excited over this,” Jiro said pushing her toward the path.

 

“Okay! I'll be back in an hour so don't move!” she called as she began running to the city.

“I'm kind of working right now Aine,” Dustin stated filling out some paper work for his new song.

 

“Forget work! You have got to see this!” Aine yelled slamming her hands on the table.

 

“I can't just forget work Aine. It's not like school,” Dustin said.

 

“But this is really important! I found our friend from the past!” Aine smiled.

 

“It's going to have to wait because I have a deadline on this paper work!” he snapped, knowing it came out harsher than he intended it to be. He saw Aine visibly flinched and looked at him with a hurt expression.

 

“Aine, I didn't mean to snap at you like that,” he said standing up from his seat.

 

“No, I understand now. You're job is more important than me and our friends!” she yelled and began to walk out of the room.

 

Dustin ran and grabbed her arm, stopping her. “I'm sorry Aine. I really am. I just pulled an all-nighter and these papers are due in fifteen minutes, so I'm a little cranky and stressed. Once I'm done I'll go see what you want okay?” he sighed.

 

“Okay, I'm sorry for misunderstanding,” she smiled.

 

“Thank you,” he said gratefully and kissed her forehead before returning to work. Aine sat next to him and watched what he was doing.

 

“Was that our first fight?” she asked.

 

“I hardly call that a fight. It's more of a misunderstanding,” he stated.

 

“What do you think our first will be about?” she asked.

 

“I already know. It's going to be about me being famous,” he said finishing up everything. He looked up at her expecting her to answer him.

 

“Why would we fight about that? I know that you love singing and I won't stop you from being famous,” she said.

 

“With the press and everything it's going to suck. You're not going to get any privacy and they will answer you stupid questions that you have to lie to. I'll also be traveling a lot which is why I don't want a family until I'm done with the business,” he explained.

 

“Well that sucks. I still won't stop you though. The most you travel away is for a couple weeks right?” she asked.

 

“Not when I'm touring, I could be gone for months then,” he sighed.

 

“Are you saying all of this to scare me away?” she asked getting defensive.

 

“No, it's more of a warning. I know you have goals of your own, like starting a family while you're young, but if you're with me that won't happen,” he stated.

 

“Well maybe I don't want a family at all!” she snapped.

 

“Why not? Don't you think it would be fun to be a mother?” he asked as he stood up. He picked up the papers and put them in a folder. He gestured Aine to follow him as he walked down the hall. He dropped off the folder in a big office and walked back to Aine.

 

“Are you ever going to leave me?” she asked.

 

“Of course not. Why do you ask that?” he asked wrapping his arms around her.

 

“Forget it! Let's go to the place where I want to go! I have a surprise for you!” she smiled. They began to walk out of the building, but was stopped by Dustin's producer.

 

“Is there something I can do for you Sasaki?” Dustin asked.

 

“What the hell is this?!” the producer yelled holding up a music magazine. On the front cover there was a picture of Dustin and Aine kissing and then Dustin and Aine on the Ferris wheel with fireworks around them.

 

“Oh my god! That's the perfect picture! I want a copy of it!” Aine smiled and grabbed the magazine. Sasaki pulled Dustin away form Aine and continued the conversation.

 

“What's wrong Sasaki? I just took my girlfriend on a date that's all,” Dustin smiled.

 

“She's ruining your image Dustin! What's with the beanie that she always wears? She's nothing compared to you! You need to date celebrities! Fix this right now!” Sasaki ordered.

 

“I love her, I'm not letting her go. Fuck celebrity status, maybe this will give hope to other girls that it's not impossible for a rock star to fall in love with an ordinary high school student. If you don't like it then I quit,” Dustin threatened.

 

“Fine, but don't blame me if she gets hurt by your crazy fans. I warned you kid,” Sasaki said and left. Dustin went back over to Aine and grabbed her hand.

 

“Where's the fire?” she asked.

 

“I want you to stay out of sight for a while, okay?” he said.

 

“What's going on?” she asked getting worried.

 

“Just do it okay? It's for your own good,” he said.

 

“Alright, I'll stay out of sight for a while,” she promised.

 

“Now that that's settled, let's go see my surprise!” he smiled. Aine nodded and pulled Dustin down the road until they came to their destination.

 

“We are in the middle of nowhere. You aren't going to rape me and kill me, right?” Dustin joked.

 

“Remember dear, it's not rape if you're willing,” Aine smirked and stuck her tongue out at him.

 

“I always forget that part,” he laughed.

 

Aine turned to look up at the tree and called out, “Jiro! Come out, come out wherever you are!”

 

Jiro jumped down from the branch he was on with Shiori following. “You're alive!” Aine yelled pointing at Shiori.

 

“Nice to see you two again,” Shiori smiled.

 

“This can't be Jiro,” Dustin said walking up putting his face right in front of Jiro's to examine it. Dustin's hand went up and flicked his nose.

 

“What the hell are you doing, you filthy human!” Jiro growled and shoved Dustin back on to his butt.

 

“I take that back, it is Jiro,” Dustin smiled and stood up, dusting off his butt.

 

“Yeah it's me! I'm glad you finally realized it!” Jiro yelled.

 

“No need to yell, honey. These are our old friends remember?” Shiori said trying to calm Jiro down.

 

“We still have a fight to finish human,” Jiro smirked ignoring Shiori.

 

“You seriously want to fight me?” Dustin asked.

 

“Yeah, unless if you're scared or something,” Jiro stated.

 

“Like hell I am!” Dustin spat moving toward Jiro, but Aine stopped him.

 

“Bring it on!” Jiro taunted, but Shiori grabbed on to his ponytail.

 

“There will be no fighting!” Aine and Shiori yelled.

 

“Yes ma'am,” Dustin and Jiro said at the same time.

 

This was just like old times. What they didn't know was that another person from the past had made it 500 years along with Jiro and Shiori and he wasn't so friendly…
