New Chapter!!

~~~~

 

I don't suppose I mentioned this in the first chapter, but practically everyone will be OOC, out of character and this is an AU, alternative universe. As in, no demons, hanyous Feudal Era…Sorry, but I guess that's the way this story came out. Also, Kagome's birthday party was on a Thursday…Just as a reminder in case you don't get it from reading this chapter.

 

Title: Ten Fingers

Chapter Two: Breakfast at Doc's

 

 

It was a Friday and today Inuyasha had to work. He was contemplating on if he should actually attend class that day. Inuyasha almost had his mind made up when he remembered he had to do a presentation that day for his American Government class. He inwardly groaned, for a Friday it sure was already starting to suck. That was when he received a phone call.

 

“Yeah, what do you want?” Inuyasha asked, not even bothering to look at who called him. Only one person would call him this early in the morning.

 

“You sound so happy to talk to me,” Miroku laughed at his friend.

 

“That's funny, because I'm not,” Inuyasha bit back. He never really was one for the mornings. Sure, he got up early almost everyday, either for school or, if he had nothing important to do in school, work. “And why are you calling me? Your girly not give you any last night?” Inuyasha smirked, pleased that he could at least make someone else's morning as bad as his was turning out to be.

 

“She had a slumber party at her friends,” Miroku sounded gloomy; Inuyasha had to bite his tongue at his friend's disappointed state of mind. “Anyways, I called to ask if you were going to work today or not.”

 

Inuyasha sucked in a breath. “Yeah, I sort of have to go. I'm up today for the presentation. Plus, it looks like it's gonna be a hot one today and I don't want to spend my time outside in the blazing hot sun working construction.” Inuyasha got out of bed and slowly put some clothes on. He had a thing for sleeping only with a pair of boxers on, clothes were too constricting for him so he chose to wear as little as possible whenever he could.

 

“I see,” Miroku said knowingly, “Are you prepared for the presentation then? What are you doing it on, again?”

 

“Uhh, kinda no and kinda yeah,” Inuyasha mumbled, he was putting on a black shirt over his head. “It's on the similarities of the Bush Administration and Hitler and his Nazis'.” Inuyasha, now fully dressed, grinned; it was going to be one hell of a day for him. “Okay, Miroku, I need to go now. School starts soon.”

 

Miroku laughed at his best friend, “You nerd. You're a senior! You have the authority of waltzing into your first period class ten, even twenty minutes late!”

 

“Ah, I can't help it. You know how I am. A good boy at heart,” Inuyasha snickered, feigning to be sincere.

 

“Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm going to go pick up Sango and her girlfriends to go to breakfast, then to school. So I'll meet you at school later? Or do you have enough time to catch a bite to eat with your bestest pal?”

 

“Ah, sure. Meet you at Doc's in ten.” With that, they both hung up. Inuyasha put his phone into his jean pockets, grabbed his keys and went to the front door. No need to say bye to anyone because no one was home. He'd been living on his own ever since he emancipated himself at age fifteen. He never got along with his father or his step-brother. Mainly because they only talked about the business they established and owned, Taki Taffy, and Inuyasha never was one to enjoy himself in the field of business.

 

Once his mother died, Inuyasha couldn't stand living under the same roof as his father or brother because she was the only one to keep the peace. She was a special woman, his mother, which is why Inuyasha still doesn't like talking about her. Her death is still very raw to him, even after three years.

 

The circumstances in which Inuyasha had to follow in order for him to be able to live on his own were, according to Inuyasha, fairly unreasonable. He had to have a job that could help provide food, clothes, and the basic essentials of owning a place because his father would not pay for it. His father would only pay for the house Inuyasha owned because it was his wife's house before she moved into the mansion with him and, as stated in her will, the house would go to Inuyasha.

 

Another thing Inuyasha was required to have was to be in school and at least finish high school. This was the only rule Inuyasha had no problem to comply with because, in all honesty, Inuyasha enjoyed learning new things. Especially history. He had a really good history teacher in junior high that helped motivate Inuyasha into wanting to discover what went on around the world. Inuyasha's goal in life is to become a photographer because he wants to travel the world, in addition to, capturing the different cultures and different architectural facts around the globe on film.

 

As Inuyasha swung his leg over his new BMW K 1200 S red motorcycle*, the next door neighbor, Lady Kaede, yelled out for him. “Oh great,” Inuyasha said aloud, rolling his eyes. “I wonder what the old hag wants.”

 

While he was approaching the old woman, she smiled at him and said, “Are you off to school already?”

 

“No, Lady Kaede. But if you don't hurry up I'll only have time to go to schoo,” Inuyasha bit back.

 

Kaede's eyes flashed for a moment but she remained tranquil, only, now talking with a snap in her words. “Well, young man. I was just going to tell you that tonight there is a show where my boy, Shippou, is playing at. I was hoping you would be a dear and go. You know how he idolizes you.” She fluttered her lashes.

 

“Ugh,” Inuyasha groaned, he was hoping to go bar hopping tonight to find some girls. Then again, he really liked Shippou's band; they were pretty good for a local punk band. “Tonight?” Inuyasha asked, still thinking about it, “I might be able to. Where is it and how much are the tickets?”

 

Kaede smiled, she knew she had Inuyasha hooked, “At the door, seven dollars. But, if you buy a few now, I'll make you a deal.”

 

“What kind of deal?” Inuyasha chuckled, this old hag was a “show girl” and gambler back in her prime. Then she stopped because she got pregnant and decided to settle down. Old habits sure do die hard. He involuntarily shivered, the thought of both of her old habits dying hard nerved him, making him want to hurry up and go to school. “Ah, just forget it. Give me three.” Inuyasha pulled out a twenty, received the tickets from Kaede that were so conveniently placed in her pocket, then left for breakfast.

 

At Doc's, the name local residents gave it, Inuyasha sat down and ate breakfast with Miroku and his “attachments.”

 

“So tell me again, why did all of you come?” Inuyasha asked, annoyed at the fact that there were two hot, available girls sitting across from him and one couple making out in the corner. He got no response from Miroku, so decided to kick him in his balls.

 

“OUCH!” screamed Miroku, “Shit that hurts! What?”

 

Inuyasha smirked, he seemed to be doing that a lot today, “Why are these fine looking ladies here?” Inuyasha wiggled his eyebrows suggestively towards Kagome and Kikyo.

 

The two blushed in response, Kikyo giggled and pressed her lips together while Kagome remained neutral, he red face giving away her expression. Kikyo nudged Kagome and eyed Sango until she got her attention. When it was received, Kikyo motioned her head to the bathroom and immediately the two women understood. They were to go chat in the bathroom.

 

“Excuse me, Miroku, but I have to go powder up. Care to join me, ladies?” The girls chuckled and went on their way, leaving Inuyasha and Miroku alone.

 

“Was it something I said?” Inuyasha asked, scared. Out of all his time spent with women, he knows that when they go to the restroom, they talk about something that just took place.

 

“I don't know, man. But did you see that transaction? All Kikyo did was move her head in a funny way. You must have done something,” Miroku offered, completely in a daze as to what was just witnessed.

 

“Oh well. Bob? More coffee, please.” Inuyasha raised his hand to the waiter.

 

“Yeah, it sure is going to be a long day.”

 

“Funny, I was thinking the same thing.”

 

Women's restroom. The three girls, as mentioned by Inuyasha and Miroku, were talking.

 

“Did you see that? Did you see what Inuyasha said!” Kikyo exclaimed, rather than questioned.

 

“Yes! Yes I did. I was going to say something, but you had it under control,” Sango said. Kagome, on the other hand, did not understand what was going on.

 

“What went on? I'm hungry! Wah! This is too early to wake up.”

 

“Oh, you big baby. I'm suffering, too.” Sango said.

 

“Ha! Yeah right. Suffering from what?” Kagome questioned.

 

“Asphyxiation!” Kikyo exclaimed. And, at the expense of Sango, Kagome and Kikyo laughed.

 

“Losers. We have found out who you can have a fling with, Kagome!” Sango yelled, quickly changing topics.

 

“Oh yeah! You'll love it!” Kikyo joined.

 

“Who?” Kagome asked.

 

Sango and Kikyo grinned a grin that would have made the Grinch look like Barney.

 

“Inuyasha.”
