InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Perfect Christmas Gift ❯ The Party ( Chapter 2 )

The Party

"Hey Erica! Your parents are gone! You ready to party?" Ashley said as soon as the door was open.

"You know it," Erica said with a grin, "Let's get downstairs to make things look… inviting."

The two girl jumped down the stairs to the kitchen, leaving the others in dust.

"This is bound to be an… interesting night," Kagome deducted. Meanwhile Inuyasha was hitting himself in the head muttering `I can't believe I asked the girl, I can't believe I asked the girl…" etc, and Shippou and Kristina were smiling broadly, holding hands at the top of Erica's bed. Music blasting from downstairs invaded the bedroom and Inuyasha held his ears to keep from going insane.

"You guys coming down?" Ashley yelled.

"Be there in a moment!" Kristina said, dragging Shippou with her (I don't think he minded.).

Eventually the others followed, walking downstairs to find that the table was covered in food and some of the furniture moved aside. Erica and Ashley were screaming along with "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor". The door bell rang.

"Got it!" Kristina yelled, her hand still glued to Shippou's. The first guests turned out to be a very out of breath David with Josh right behind him.

"He ran all the way to my house for a ride and hasn't recovered since," Josh explained as David collapsed on the couch. "He said something about getting here early because the weird chick on the phone said so." Kagome turned pale.

"Sorry, I needed an emergency date…" she apologized, walking over to David's side. Josh's mouth fell open as he saw her.

"Lucky bastard… no wonder he wanted to get here soon…" he muttered under his breath, but he forgot everything as he noticed the food table. "I'm gone!" he said as he ran over to all the snacks they had set up.

"Kagome, this is David," Erica said pointing to the teenager passed our on her couch, "your date."

"I nearly killed him!" she replied.

"Hey Erica," Kristina whisper, "Doesn't David live, like, only two blocks away from Josh?" Erica replied with a smile and a wink. Kristina and Ashley cracked up and once again the door bell rang. In walked Denny, Manda, Emily, Gaylen, Cheese, Tamara, Adam, Stephanie, and everyone's least favorite ex-boyfriend- Jake.

"Welcome to my lovely home… freaks…" Erica said happily.

"Well, well, well, little miss perfect is doing something `bad' for once," Jake muttered in his angsty teenage heartthrob voice.

"Try little miss corrupted, jackass, and if your gonna act like, well, yourself tonight you might as well leave and save yourself a doctor's bill…"

"Ha, ha," Jake responded dully, " You wouldn't lay a hand on me, and neither would your so-called friends, if they know what's good for them. C'mon, Raz," he said sweetly, using an old nickname, "I thought we had something special! I love you, I love you, I love you! What do you think of me now?" Erica's face reddened as it did whenever someone said that to her, but this time it was of rage.

"You make me retch," she muttered as she walked again. Mandy and Emily, also Jake's ex-girlfriends, laughed loudly, and Kristina, who just hated his guts, joined them. Erica stopped at Stephanie, his newest girlfriend.

"You're his date right? She nodded. "He doesn't love you. He's probably dumping you tonight." For that comment, Erica received a quick slap across the face. She seemed stunned for a moment, but soon kept walking to the food table.

Tamara observed the surrounding until she spotted something she liked- Inuyasha. She meandered her way over and smiled sweetly.

"Hey," she whispered in her sexiest voice, "I'm Tamara. Wanna dan- HOLY FUCK ARE THOSE CAT EARS?!"

"Actually," Inuyasha began, "They're dog ears, thank you very much." Everyone turned to stare at him.

"He's a Hanyou," Kagome explained. Half of he party nodded in understanding, some nodded in stupidity, and the rest just stared in disbelief.

"And by the way I have a date," he said motioning towards Erica who walked back to them, attracted by the commotion. This Tamara girl made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Aww, Erica has a date!" Jake mocked, "Woe is me! That's one big surprise. Of course, it had to be the freak with cat ears."

"Dog ears," Erica corrected, even though she hadn't noticed until Inuyasha had said so, "And at least I have a date!"

"I do too," Jake replied. Stephanie clung close to his arm, but he pushed her away saying, "I think we should see other people." He walked towards Kagome as Stephanie ran out the door crying. Kagome was kneeling by David, who had recently awakened.

"Hey, I'm Jake," he began.

"And I," Kagome said looking up and scooting closer to David, "am taken." The room erupted with laughter.

"So much for having a date, Jake! That's one you let go, and one who said no!" Denny laughed.

"Shut up, faggot, I don't see you with a chick!" Jake responded testily. Sang, who was standing next to him, turned and smiled.

"Hey, Denny, wanna be my date?"

"Sure."

"Hey, bitch, that's not funny!" Jake yelled clenching his fists.

"Hey Jackass, lay off my friends!" Erica screamed, ready to pounce, "I'm throwing a party here so shut up and be pleasant or get out and burn In hell!"

"As far as I'm concerned, this is hell, you posing, goody-goody, mother-fucking, bit-" and that was all he could say before the hanyou was on top of him.

"That's my date!" he barked as he tackled him. It had happened in a flash of silver and red. Blood was everywhere.

"Oh my god!" Erica screamed. She ran over and pulled the boy off each other. Jake had ten scratches along his stomach, and Inuyasha had one long slice across his chest. The knife was stabbed in by his heart.

"That bastard pulled a knife out on me!" Jake screamed, struggling to escape Denny and Cheese, who had to hold him back.

"Inuyasha doesn't carry knives!" Kagome defended her ex.

"And that knife is yours!" Erica flamed her ex.

Inuyasha removed the knife from his chest and tossed it on the ground by Jake's feet.

"Is…is he gonna be ok?" Ashley whispered, staring at Inuyasha's chest wound.

"Yah, he is a hanyou," Erica explained, not bothering to explain what hanyou was.

"No one cares about me?" Jake asked with a false smile.

"You ripped my Zim shirt," Cheese muttered.

"You're ok," Emily said, looking him out and down.

"That bastard pulled a knife on me!" Jake yelled again, looking for sympathy.

"No, he didn't," Kagome said again, starting to get irate, "He doesn't own knives. He used his claws, very lightly it seems. Your lucky he didn't go full demon!"

"He has claws…?" Ashley asked.

"For the last time! HE'S A FRIGGIN HANYOU!" Erica screamed. Soon enough the turmoil died down. Kagome and David were laughing together, Denny and Sango were mocking Jake behind his back, Tamara and Adam were making out in the closet, Ashley, Emily, Cheese and Josh were having fun at the food table, Shippou and Kristina were messing around upstairs, Miroku was chatting with Gaylen, and Kouga was dancing with Mandy. Even Jake was having fun hanging with Kikyo. Meanwhile, Erica insisted Inuyasha cleaned his wounds.

"So, are you sure it doesn't hurt at all?" she asked with a concerned look.

"Yah," Inuyasha muttered. He was used to so much concern by a girl he hardly knew, and he was hurt that Kagome wasn't worried. Erica poked his wound.

"Ow!" he yelped.

"So it DOES hurt…"

"Yah, if you stab it!"

"All I did was poke it!"

"You shouldn't poke open wounds!"

"You should stab people you don't know!"

"He was insulting you! He had no right to walk in here (Who invited him?) and start treating you like dirt! I think he is very rude!"

"It's not like you don't like insulting me! Although I do thank you for sticking up for me (I think Kristina did) you can't just do that! You could get in serious trouble!"

"Why should you care if some jerk gets me in trouble?"

"Why should you care if some jerk insults me?"

Silence fell between them for a moment or two until Erica sighed.

"Take off your shirt." Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow.

"I need to cover the wounds! (What else would I do?!)"

"Fine! (I don't know! You could be a rapist! I only met you today!)"

Erica tightly wrapped his chest in bandages. When she was done she simply stared at him.

"What?" he asked, feeling a bit weird. He put the blood covered shirt back on.

"Oh, it's nothing… just…" Erica leaned very close to him and caught the hanyou by surprise by… reaching over and feeling his ears.

"Dog ears are weird…" she murmured. Inuyasha sighed.

"Why is it everyone has to do that when they meet me?" he pondered. "I was scared there for a second, I was sure you were gonna kiss me or something!" With that Erica leaned over once more and kissed him softly on the lips.

"God," Inuyasha said, "American girls are weird."
