InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Gamble ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

A/n: My imagination acted up again, and came up with a good idea… I didn't want it to slip away. I loved the idea… I know I'm writing three other fics already, but I didn't want this to hit the back burner and go blank… So, I'm gonna give it a voice. It's gonna be pretty different, but pretty similar too. *shrugs* I dunno, tell me what you think. It's hopefully gonna be only a short story… we'll see… *sigh* Anyway, here we go!

***UPDATED A/n: I'm going to smooth this story out and work out the kinks. I love it, but realized it's all too jagged and ugly :x.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or any of the characters. So meh.



Life is full of choices…

...you choose what socks you're going to wear in the morning, if you care if you're a mess or not before you head out, or even if you're going to eat.

No matter what you choose though, you'll have to face the consequences, whether positive or negative… and those consequences are up to you to determine if they're worth it.

All in all, I guess I believe in fate…

My dad always ragged on me for being so skeptical, too indulged in the practicality of humanity… Not really caring about heaven or hell, or Kami. But I do believe in one thing…

There's no such thing as coincidence.

Maybe that sounds like me being superstitious, I don't fucking know…

Hence why I believe in fate.

...I guess that sounds kind of dumb, not believe in Kami, but believing in fate? Well, hell, I believe in karma. Because, well, from first hand experience, I know it's true. What goes around comes around. Every person in the fucking world knows that one, even if they don't admit it.

So, it comes down to free will.

What choices will you make? A lot of things depend on this.

I realized that not too long ago.

But I also realized that sometimes you just don't know what to decide, so you gotta take a gamble.

You gotta take a risk.

And that's how I ended up with my best friend of a billion years… Higurashi Kagome.

Sweet, gorgeous angel I don't know how the hell I got with.

On the other end, it's also how I ended up with Nisemono Kikyo.

The complete opposite of my angel.

...They were both gambles.

Both risks I took.

...And I guess in the end it turned out all right.

But there are so many times when you fuck up on that risk, and you toss the dice… and you fucking loose everything.

Absolutely everything.

That's… well, why I wanna tell my story. It's not some amazing, epic, love story tragedy…

...it's just a story about a bunch of high school kids who were looking for security, warmth… in perhaps, all the wrong places.

You just gotta find out though. So, do you really give a shit?

It's not anything special or anything… it's just something personal, something on my mind, and if you're willing to listen… I'll tell you.

Anyway, my name is Taisho Inuyasha. This is my story. Take it or leave it, because I suppose when it boils down to it, that's your choice and your choice alone.

Maybe you'll learn something, and maybe it'll have just been a huge fucking waste of your time.

Take the gamble.

Keh… maybe you'll like what you reap.
