InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Treading Water ❯ 10- Boy Meets Girl ( Chapter 10 )

Be warned the language in this tale just went up a few notches.

 

 

 

No one seemed to notice the shadow that fell across the open front door.

 

“What the fuck is going on here?! Kiba! Tsume!”

 

The dogs leapt from the girl to their master, even happier than before at his sudden return. Miroku's mayonnaise covered face took on a look of annoyed frustration.

 

“Ya know when I agreed to dog sit for you, Yash, you told me those mutts were trained.”

 

“They are trained.” He said simply. Yash snapped his fingers and pointed to the ground at his feet. At the command the two dogs ceased the energetic leaping and sat, one to either side of their master, facing Miroku and company looking like nothing so much as two gargoyles. “And they're not mutts.”

 

The girls all took a moment to take in the new guy. His white sneakers were partially hidden by the hem of his slightly baggy blue jeans. He wore a white under shirt with a dark red button up shirt over it. He had long, wild looking bangs and a bandana that matched his shirt in his hair. The silvery color of his hair was almost as amazing as its length. And his gold eyes were absolutely captivating. Kagome's mind briefly flicked back to her morning with Sango. Sango said I could have the blondes…does silver count as blonde? She flushed lightly at the thought.

 

“The black one looks weird for a Dobie.” Eri commented. Yash turned to her with a condescending glare.

 

“Kiba `looks weird' because he isn't mutilated.” Once the words had been said it became blaringly obvious that the Doberman had never been cropped. His long tail twitched happily under the attention and his long floppy ears gave him a happy, laid back look that Dobermans were purposely cropped to avoid.

 

Wanting to head off an argument before it got started Miroku cleared his throat and announced, “InuYasha, these are my friends. Guys, this is my best friend, InuYasha.”

 

It was then InuYasha turned to look at his friend.

 

“Dude. What the fuck? Bukkake home videos?” Miroku's eyebrows shot up into his bangs as he swung around to look in the mirror above the fireplace.

 

Seeing his face covered in mayonnaise he understood. He tried, but he couldn't stop his shoulders from shaking with laughter.

 

InuYasha looked to the girl with a dainty dollop of the white stuff on her nose and smirked. “Lemme guess, Sango?” He said as he extended his hand. She blushed, nodded and shook his hand, only to be pushed out of the way as another girl waltzed over.

 

“Hi there, handsome.” The girl leaned into him, staring up into his large, golden eyes.

 

“You must be Yuka.”

 

She pouted as she batted her lashes and continued to stare up at him, “How'd you know?”

 

Yuka frowned as InuYasha removed her from his personal space and stepped away from her.

 

“Simple. Like he said, best friend. Who do you think he whined to about how big a bitch and slut you are?”

 

Sango laughed, Miroku paled and the rest of their friends' faces were all wearing varying degrees of shock.

 

“So boys DO gossip.” The girl on the floor sat up as she laughed. And just that easily the tension in the room melted. Yuka still looked pissed, but no one else was paying attention to her as they giggled and easily accepted the new guy.

 

“Keh.” InuYasha refused to turn in her direction. He could tell she was staring at him and he was looking for anything he could do to piss her off. Besides, he was here to see Miroku, not these bitches. “Go ahead guys.” He made a shooing motion with his hand and the dogs relaxed and headed back over to Kagome, who was happy paying attention to them.

 

“How old are they?” Most women he met were scared of big dog breeds. His brain was threatening to be impressed by the girl on the floor that had taken so quickly to his companions.

 

“Tsume is 8 months, Kiba 6.”

 

“Knew it. They aren't big enough yet.” She muttered, turning back to the puppies practically crawling into her lap. Pitch-black brows rose into his silver hair. Most chicks are afraid of them and she thinks theyaren't big enough yet?!

 

He couldn't help it, he turned to look at the unusual girl, a very lewd retort about sizes dying on his tongue.

 

She felt his eyes on her and looked up.

 

InuYasha felt like he'd been struck by lightning… or shot.

 

The girl had stormy blue-gray eyes, plump, sensuous lips and long midnight colored tresses. She seemed so familiar and he didn't know why, he knew he had never seen her before, she was too beautiful not to be remembered.

 

“Keh.”

 

InuYasha turned and fled the room, dragging Miroku into the kitchen. He waited for his friend to wash his face before he whispered roughly, “Who's the weird one on the floor?”

 

That was not what Miroku had been expecting. He cleared his throat and answered quietly.

 

“That's Kagome. Sango's best friend.”

 

InuYasha's eyebrows again rose sky high.

 

“You've gotta be shittin' me. That's the one you pawed?!” He had been about to say `That's the tart you almost raped?' but thought better of it at the last moment. He knew Miroku would have stopped eventually, before he did something he might never be able to scrub his soul clean of, but he also knew his friend still felt like shit about laying a hand on her at all, and the last thing he wanted was to cause the further erosion of his friend's sense of self worth.

 

`Cause, ya know, he'd have to be the supportive shoulder Miroku turned to cry on and shit. InuYasha almost huffed a laugh at the turn his thoughts had taken. Even in the darkest corners of his mind he couldn't hold onto the bravado and pretend he didn't care about the pervert.

 

Miroku nodded sadly, still unnerved at how that long gone situation had gotten out of hand so quickly.

 

InuYasha chuckled darkly, “I think I get her a bit better now. Don't be surprised she fuckin' flipped on you man, she's untouched.” He crossed his arms under his chest as he turned toward the door.

 

“Untouched?” The word sounded so archaic in Miroku's ears. He also prayed it didn't mean the one thing his brain had latched onto for possible meaning.

 

“Virgin.”

 

Miroku paled. He was swapping stories with InuYasha by the time he was fourteen or fifteen. And everyone knew Kagome had a boyfriend now. He really hoped her abstinence had absolutely nothing to do with him, but the thought nagged the back of his brain.

 

“Then again,” Yash began conversationally, “It's not just Kagome. Sango too. They frigid or just bitchy?” He smirked.

 

“Don't say that where they can hear you, man. They're nice, sweet, caring, and beautiful but fully reject the idea of the damsel in distress. They're just strong and the dickless assholes we go to school with are all intimidated by them.”

 

InuYasha nodded sagely, he understood completely.

 

“Bitchy, got it.”

 

Miroku groaned and had InuYasha help him with the trays of sandwiches that had been prepared for lunch.

Kagome stared as InuYasha and Miroku vanished into the kitchen. His voice had been flowing over her body like silk over skin. She knew that voice from somewhere. She was tempted to smack herself in the head to try to jolt her memory. She desperately wanted to know why he seemed so familiar.

 

She caught Sango smirking at her and turned to regard her best friend. Sango quirked an eyebrow and Kagome realized her mouth was hanging open. She quickly shut her trap and looked around the room.

 

Koharu and Akitoki were snuggled cozily into the window seat, Eri and Yuka were glaring at the kitchen doorway, Ayumi looked lost.

 

Kagome motioned Ayumi and Sango over. Once the three were sitting on the floor around the low coffee table Kagome wiped off Sango's nose. Ayumi and Kags giggled when Sango blushed.

 

“Don't like him, huh?”

 

“He's a perv.”

 

“He's a cute, sweet, romantic, considerate perv. Give me some credit Sango. I've known him going on three years now. And I have good taste in friends.” Kags stuck her tongue out at Sango, who returned it.

 

“Did anyone else think InuYasha is hot? Or just me?” Ayumi piped up.

 

“He looks a bit dangerous to me.” Koharu said from the cozy nest of Akitoki's arms.

 

Yuka sneered and Eri glowered. “He's a jerk. Completely brushed me off. I was just trying to be friendly.”

 

“Yeah but no matter how friendly you want to be he's already heard all about you from Miroku.”

 

No one noticed the two boys who stood to either side of the doorway, listening to the entire conversation.

 

“He's heard one side of a completely biased tale from Miroku.” Yuka scoffed. “He knows nothing about me, but I think I want to change that.” The predatory tone of her voice had InuYasha' hackles up, a low, deep growl threatening to radiate from his chest.

 

“I don't think that's such a hot idea, Yuka.” That voice belonged to Kagome. “Did you see how comfortable those two are with each other? Trying to come between them is a piss poor idea. Not to mention I don't think you could do it. They're as close as brothers and you already have a bad reputation with them, I don't even know if you could convince him to be your friend.”

 

His respect for Kagome went up a notch, he knew he would have to be careful. She was one smart bitch.

 

“Who asked you? No man turns me down unless they're gay.”

 

Barging back into the living room with the food InuYasha declared somewhat loudly, “Any man who doesn't want his dick to rot off would turn you down easy. I can't even tell what you smell like, you're saturated by the scent of different men. And I don't touch sluts, thanks.”

 

Yuka stood, face beet red, and gathered her things, stomping to the door with Eri in tow. She pushed Eri through the door and whirled around to face the people in the room.

 

“Cock sucking faggot!” She screamed shrilly before exiting and slamming the door behind her.

 

InuYasha turned incredulous eyes to Miroku as everyone watched with bated breath.

 

“You were with her how long? Tell me she's fantastic in bed or I'm having you committed.”

 

“That's a pretty shallow thing to say, you jerk! And what do you mean you couldn't smell her?”

 

InuYasha rounded on Kagome. “Who are you? Who asked you? Do you ever keep your nose out of other people's shit? And have you heard of demons?!” With that he reached up and yanked the bandana off his head, revealing two downy soft puppy ears.

 

Kagome's eyes grew wide as saucers as she stared at his ears.

 

Uh-oh. InuYasha quickly became nervous under her intense scrutiny. What the fuck is she gonna do to me?

A/N: Yippie skippy, longer than normal chapter!

 

And a big hug to fallenangel7583 and leila-chan for the reviews that they sling my way less than an hour after I post lol It's like getting hit with a boomerang in the back of the head =)

 

And btw Leila-chan, thanks for giving me a heart attack! Geez, here I am thinking I can slide Inu into this no prob and I felt like the gal whose friend just said, “So you need to cut through the electrified fence, take out the pack of attack dogs, scale the impenetrable wall, bypass the state of the art security and shut down the launch sequence or the planet is DOOMED! But ya know, no pressure.” *grin* I'm just messing with you…sorta =P

 

And even though I got this one out after the drama with my cousin(who Souta will be based on in this story) I find myself with a lack of inspiration. I'll try to get the next chapter out in a timely fashion, but no promises. Feel free to leave r&r, I seem to get pumped when I get responses so it may help. *grin*
