InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Worthless Child ❯ A New Friend ( Chapter 12 )

"A New Friend"

Kagome walked down the street to Sango's house. As she walked up the tile floor to the front door, she rang the doorbell. The door opens a crack. Before she could say anything, Sango burst out grabbing her by the hand and racing her off to the family car. Once inside, Sango was the first to speak.

"Okay. Spill."

"Uh-uh. Starbucks first, then you get your story."

"Your not gonna keep anything from me right?"

Kagome ignored her and the rest of the car trip was spent in silence. As they reached the drive through Sango ordered their favorite coffees. A Caramel Frappuccino with extra Caramel for Kagome, and an Iced Tea for herself. Sango kept quite as she knew Kagome would start soon.

She didn't have to wait long as Kagome started "I told you about when we first met right?"

"Ya you did. I wanna know what's been happening between you two. We are best friends right? Best friends don't keep secrets from each other. Right?"

Kagome lowered her head as her cheeks burned in embarrassment. "Did I tell you about the promise that I made to Kikyo?"

Sango drew her eyebrows down in confusion. "No you haven't. I thought she was dead, what do you mean promise? And what does that have to do with Inuyasha?"

"Slow down Sango" Kagome stopping her friend's barrage of questions. "One question at a time. Let me start at the beginning and we can go from there."

An hour later, Kagome had told all of what had happened with Inuyasha. Sango paused a minute going over all of what she had said. "So, you think he sees you as Kikyo?"

"Ya, he gets this weird look in his eyes. I noticed it a few times, and it's almost the same look when someone mentions Kikyo and he's remembering the good times with her. It made so angry to think that he was using me as a replacement. The only problem is that I have to deal with him everyday during tutoring. I know my mother is gonna bug me to make amends with him, especially since she thinks he's an angel. You should have seen him in front of her, he was like a totally different person. What a jerk."

"Really? He probably just wanted to get you into trouble." Sango paused as a wicked idea formed in her head. "Now instead of complaining, why don't you think of how you're gonna get him back. You should act all nice again, and then hit him when you have an opportunity presents itself. I even wanna help because nobody messes with my friends."

A smile crept on Kagome face as the plan formulated inside her head. Sango smiled, "Now that you're all cheered up, how'd it go with Hojo?"

Kagome's face instantly turned redder than a cherry. "Well...um... It's none of your business" she shouted.

Sango just smiled "That's all I wanted to know Kagome."

Kagome was silent for a minute as it dawned on her of what she was implying. "Sango you got it all wrong. We didn't go that far, get your mind out of the gutter." Suddenly Kagome got an idea. "You have been around Miroku for way too long, thinking about those kinds of things."

The tables were turned as Sango shouted "Kagome, I ha..."

Obnoxiously loud giggles interrupted her and could be heard inside the Civic all the way home.

(Back to Inuyasha when he walked out)

Inuyasha couldn't stand it anymore. Watching them make out made something inside his stomach tighten making him feel sick. Noticing that he wasn't going to get anymore attention he turned around and walked away taking a different exit. Instead of heading home, he took a different route heading toward his father's new gym. The one of the few things that his father ever did for him was giving him membership. Usually he never went, but now he felt his youkai blood stir inside him, demanding that he go back to school and tear the couple apart and shred the boy to pieces. Obviously the kid didn't learn to stay away from him, and he needed to do something to get them out of his thoughts.

As Inuyasha walked inside the gym the receptionist asked him "Sir are you here to apply for new membership or do you have a card?"

Inuyasha pulled out his wallet, showed her his card, which had VIP label clearly showing. The young intern had a puzzled looked across her face before a suspicious one was rapidly taking its place. Asking as politely as possible, "Sir may I see your card along with your drivers license."

Inuyasha handed the girl his card and drivers license while saying, "You know, if my father finds out about how poorly you're treating VIP customers..."

Immediately recognizing the last name she handed back both cards bowing and apologizing profusely. "Sumimasen Kawase-sama, it's just that I didn't recognize you, as you have rarely ever been here before. I guarantee that this will never happen again. Gome-nasai for any trouble I may have caused you."

The Hanyou smirked, `This is one great thing that money gives you, people bowing at your feet. Not that I want them too, but hey, it's a great change of pace with all the insults and beatings I usually receive. I guess I should be polite, no need to make enemies so soon, plus, if I got a few to called friends, they'll be bending over backwards for me.' As he turned around to face the girl one last time he flashed a rare but small smile. "Can you please show me where the youkai boxing or wrestling ring is, as well as the vending machines so I can grab some water?"

Glad that she got on his good side, and that he didn't seem so bad after everything that happened, she replied back. "Sure, why don't I show you where the boxing ring is, and while you get set up, I'll get you your drink. Just bottled water right?" She turned to leave as Inuyasha stood there confused. `Where is she going without any money?' Finally getting fed up he asked before she was out of earshot.

"I didn't give you any yen, how are you going to pay for the drinks?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry about it, that's a standard VIP option."

"Well then, why don't you get yourself a drink, and if you got time, watch me fight. I'll put on a show for you." Inuyasha said with a wink.

The girl blushed slightly, "You don't have to do that Kawase-sama…"

Inuyasha interrupted "It's Inuyasha. And I insist." He turned around and followed the signs to the boxing ring, but not before hearing her call back.

"It's Megu. Kakashi Megu. And your locker number is B17 in the VIP section"

Inuyasha walked into the locker room, found his locker in the VIP section, and opened it. He was surprised to see a white shirt, black shorts, and warm-up suit all ready and folded neatly inside. Each piece of clothing had a small VIP emblem engraved into it. He stripped off his clothing grabbed the shorts, slipped them on, and shoved his own clothes inside the locker. He reached inside his backpack, grabbed the lock he kept for the gym, threw his backpack inside and locked it.

Walking outside he noticed Megu waiting for him, 3 bottles of water, and one iced tea in her hands. She handed him his water and opened her iced tea to take a quick sip. "Thanks for the drink Inuyasha."

Inuyasha grunted and walked inside the boxing ring, staring at the wolf youkai who was boredly waiting for an opponent. (Oh ya you all know where this is going!) Inuyasha stared at him a second longer wondering why this youkai looked and smelled familiar. Then it hit him. "So Koga, ready to get your ass beat down again?"

This caused everyone in the room to stop dead in there tracks. No one had seen the Wolf Prince Youkai get beaten, as he was the undisputed king of ring in this gym.

That woke Koga up real quickly as he snapped his head up. Glaring at Inuyasha, he decided to taunt back. "That was only a fluke, and I was only sizing you up. Now I got the chance to show who really is the boss around here."

"Bring it on Wolf-Shit."

With that said, Koga was on Inuyasha before he could even blink with a right hook. Inuyasha barely had enough time to put up a guard to block some of the damage as he was thrown to the floor. Everyone gasped. Rarely had they seen Koga so mad and so serious.

The ref started counting while hitting the ground. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8" When the ref got to eight he stood straight up and shook his head. Now ready to fight, and anger boiling for getting knocked down first he smirked at the wolf. "That's all you got?"

Koga stood in shock. Never had he seen anyone take a full blow from him in the head and live or stay conscious.

Taking advantage of Koga's defenseless stance Inuyasha rushed in. Just as he was about to return the right hook back at Koga, he stepped back and paid full attention on the fight. Inuyasha slightly stumbled as he had lost his footing for a brief second. Looking expectantly at Koga he noticed the gleam in his eyes, and knew what he wanted. A challenge.

"How about we raise the stakes a little bit?" Inuyasha started for Koga.

"5 days of slavery for the loser. Tomorrow (Tuesday) to Saturday, Anytime, Anywhere, for Anything."

Inuyasha smirked loving the idea of having this `supposedly' top notch youkai as his slave. Multiple plans ran through his mind at once.

"Agreed, everyone here is the witness. Now shake on it." They each grabbed each others gloves and shook it. Each then turned around and headed toward their own corner as the last of the pain Inuyasha had received was wearing off.

The ref started, "The rules and stakes have been stated, Inuyasha in the blue corner, Koga in the Red. Let's have a nice and clean match. Round 1, Fight!"

Both rushed in and they met in the center. Koga was the first to throw a fast but powerful jab. Inuyasha ducked underneath and bent down and readied himself for his famous uppercut wanting to finish this quickly. Koga noticed this and slammed his arms together to form a guard. Inuyasha smirked. This was gonna work perfectly. Using his legs he forcefully slammed his fist against Koga's guard breaking them apart slightly while lifting him up about 2 inches from the ground. Using his youkai speed, he quickly turned his fist 90 degree's, slipped through his guard, and slammed it painfully against his chin. Koga reeled in shock, dazed that his guard failed as he was thrown in the air a good foot and a half. Koga landed on his back, unconscious. Everyone was cheering Inuyasha on as the ref screamed "Down! Blue head to your neutral corner." Then he started the counting. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!" The ref walked up to Inuyasha took his right hand and raised it. "Inuyasha is the winner"

Ignoring all the cheering he walked up to Megu who was holding a towel in one hand, a cold open water bottle in the other, and a wide grin on her face. "Well that was quite a show, nobody has ever beat Koga before. The only one who comes close is your father, but he has never won."

An awkward silence fell between them as Inuyasha opened his last bottle of water. Unable to stand the silence anymore, Megu asked "So a big strong youkai like yourself must have a cute girlfriend."

Suddenly Inuyasha's face turned cold as painful memories of Kikyo entered his mind. Noticing the change in his face Megu quickly apologized, "Sorry Inuyasha, I shouldn't have asked, it wasn't my place to ask that."

Not wanting her to blame herself, and for some reason not wanting her to feel bad, he started with an explanation. "No it's ok. It's just that my girlfriend died, and I still haven't gotten over it yet. By the way, I'm not a youkai."

"If you're not a youkai then you must be a Hanyou" Megu thought out loud. "That's why everyone was treating you so badly. It's such a shame, because you're such a nice guy."

Inuyasha was shocked beyond all belief. Not many people said that him, and it showed on his face.

Megu smiled innocently "What? What's with the face? The water to cold or something?"

"It's just that not many people would say that to me. I thought you were gonna start insulting me like everyone else."

"Well I'm not most people. I'm Megu. I don't care what you are, you were respectful to me when all the other VIP's think that they're the king and I'm here to serve them. I like that you were nice. It makes me want to be your friend. We can be friends right?" she asked uncertainly.

"Sure. You know I haven't had someone to talk to in two years. Now that I have someone I know here, I'll stop by more often. I usually only come here to work of my anger."

"Yup" Megu giggled with a beaming smile, latched herself on to Inuyasha's arm, happy to have a new friend.

xiamurgodx's COMPLAINT: (Draechaeli and InuYashaxBabiexGirl are exempt)

I have only one complaint so far. I don't write this story for reviews, but rather to test out and perfect different writing styles and ideas that are in my head, so I don't expect many reviews. But only 3 reviews for 2 chapters????? Come on people I need some feedback. I even want flames if they tell me what's wrong and what I should fix. Ideas are even better, since xaggor-sama is being lazy about this story. Grrrrrr, I have to go to his house and whip him back in shape for being lazy and not beta the last two chapters or giving any ideas for this one. Anyway on with the A/N.

A/N

xiamurgodx

First things first, I said this chapter was gonna be evil, well, that's gonna be next chapter, as we finally are getting some plot. Not much but enough to work with. I'm still perfecting the story, and I still have yet to introduce Miroku, but I'm working on that. I really need some ideas for that. I'm decided if I should give myself extra work, and build the relationship between Sango/Miroku or start them off as b/g friend. I think I'm leaning toward b/g friend, but having them unstable. Don't know yet.

Man, I had my first case of writers block, and it took forever to figure out an idea of what would happen at the gym. I didn't want to make it boring, as there are way too many boring chapters in my opinion. Things are finally starting to get good. Inuyasha and Kagome hate each other. I know Inuyasha was a little OOC, but you will find out why in the next chapter. While I having some writers block, I planned out the next 4-5 chapters so there should be faster updates. Hopefully xaggor-sama will beta faster so I can update 2 chapters a week. Anyway, do you guys mind some of the Japanese? It comes naturally for me, and I end up erasing a lot of it. The reason I write so much Japanese is because I always write on my break after taking Japanese class, so it's still in my mind. Trust me, I take most of it out after I proof it.

Xagor-sama

Dunno know what to write. So BLAH! Enjoy this fan finct! Write reviews! Do my Homework! If I had less I can beta this faster! Give me money!

(Lol, he is poor, he gave me lots of money for lots of anime, now I'm rich)
