Title: Life and Love, One Big Wipe-Out

Author: Lovely Winds ' Lovely Seas

Summary: Inuyasha has suffered a great deal in his life and surfing is the only thing that can take his mind off all of it, until he meets another surfer by the name of Kagome. Can she melt the ice around his fragile heart or are they all in for one big wipe-out?

A/N: The story has been in my head for a while and I figured it is time to put it to good use. Alot of the characters from the Inuyasha series will appear in the story. It takes place in present-day Japan. Demons, hanyous, and the supernatural coexist with humans in a world where anything is possible.

Bold- translation of any Japanese phrases or songs into English.

Italics- thoughts and sometimes songs

Translations for surfing terms are at the bottom of the page for anyone who doesn't understand something.

I do not own Inuyasha or any related characters for the manga or anime series. I also do not own any songs I might use in my story.

Seasons are changing

And waves are crashing

And stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one

Chapter One: A Rainy Day Encounter

Inuyasha had lived a life full of more hard ship and heart ache, than people ever have to deal with. His mother died of cancer when he was still very young and his father died protecting his mother from an aggressive stalker after he was born. Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older half brother, refused to take care of him because of his human blood. With no where else to go, Myoga, a friend of the family took him in. Still more hardships began to plagued Inuyasha wherever he went. Inuyasha, now 200 years later, has grown up cautious of the dangers of people, life, and ever becoming close to someone again.

"Today is going to suck ass," murmured an irritated Inuyasha. The rain pounded heavily on the roof of his house as he ate a breakfast of cold cereal. "First day of summer vacation ruined." The rain pounded more heavily as he said this. "Maybe some good can come out of this after all." Throwing his bowl into the sink he made his way upstairs to get changed. Inuyasha's room was trashed, clothes, books, and anything else the hanyou was too lazily to pick up. His "uncle" Myoga no longer lived with him, so Inuyasha was able to live a life as he pleased. Grabbing a pair of red board shorts with a gold strip on the side, Inuyasha slipped them over his boxers, snatched his keys, and made his was down the stairs. The rain only got steadily worse as he made his way outside, running through the rain with his bare feet as he made his way to his car.

The car, a bright blue Toyota Supra, revved its engine as Inuyasha made his way down the streets of Tokyo. His destination was not Tokyo but a place far past its outskirts. Inuyasha had always hated the city even though he did not live directly in the heart of it. He still could not stand it, like some other demons. Inuyasha's destination was Sunset Beach, a little known surf spot. He had began surfing and skim boarding since he was a child, it seemed to take his mind off of everything and he was getting pretty good. The Beach is about three hours from the heart of Tokyo, but one for Inuyasha, if you took into consideration speeding. Turning up his radio, Inuyasha sped faster to his destination. Dir En Grey's song The Final began to be heard, a human band who knew the hardships of life, which was easily relatable for the hanyou. They were one of Inuyasha's favorites but they often drew up painful memories for him.

toketeshimau ito o mitsume... monji ni dekinai hidari te desu.
chi o nagasu tabi ni ikiteiru wake... miidasu kotoba ga azayakade

I watch my purpose disappear...

my left hand unable to write the words.

every time I shed blood, my reason for living...

the words come to me clearly.

te no naka ni wa aisu beku hito sae mo hanabanashiku chitte
te no naka ni wa ikita imi kizan demo munashiki hana to shiru

in my hands, even my beloved is scattered gloriously

in my hands, even if I cut the meaning of my life in,

I know it's a meaningless flower.

The song struck a chord in his heart, and he began singing.

The Final

hitotsu futatsu to fuetsutzukeru... naze ni waraenai esa tonaru?

fukai goku no shin keshite modore wa shinai
ashita wo furarenai jigyakuteki haibokusha
Suicide is the proof of life

te no naka ni wa aisu beku hito sae mo hanabanashiku chitte
te no naka ni wa ikita imi kizan demo munashiki hana to chiru

The Final

one, two and growing... why do I become the humorless feed?

the deep prison at my core, I can never return.

a masochistic loser unable to feel tomorrow

Suicide is the proof of life.

in my hands, even my beloved is scattered gloriously

in my hands, even if I cut the meaning of my life in,

perishes a meaningless flower.

So I can't live
So I can't live
Sou naku shita mono wa
So I can't live
So I can't live
mo umarenai
So I can't live
So I can't live
ikiteu akashi sae
So I can't live
So I can't live
motomerarenai uta

So I can't live, so I can't live

Yes, that which I've lost

So I can't live, so I can't live

can't be made again.

So I can't live, so I can't live

the song doesn't even seek

So I can't live, so I can't live

to prove my life

Inuyasha sung the last part with all his might.

Let's put an end... The Final

misui no tsubomi sakase yo

Let's put an end... The Final

I'll make the bud of a suicide attempt blossom.

Before he knew it, Inuyasha was at the beach. He pulled his car to a small parking lot at the side of the road in a rural area surrounded by trees.

"Awesome no other cars here, I don't have to deal with any stupid people or shark biscuits for that matter."

Inuyasha removed his board for the surf rack and headed down a small path with a small duffle bag. His board was a white short board with red claw marks going across it. The board itself was outlined in a red boarder. It wasn't much but it had worked for Inuyasha as long as he could remember. When Inuyasha got to the end of the small forest it gave way to the beach and the ocean. The water was rough and the waves were a great height, a little over twenty feet because of the storm. At the edge of the beach Inuyasha set down the bag, attached the Velcro of the leash around his right foot and set way into the water.

He began to paddle out immediately in order to get past the first few sets of waves, diving as he needed. For any human it would have been extremely difficult to paddle out with the storm but Inuyasha's demon strength gave him the power to do so. About thirty feet out Inuyasha stopped his paddling, where the line up would have been, and sat up. The rain made it difficult to see the beach or anything other than water around him. When he saw a wave begin to approach him, he began to paddle. The first wave went passed him but a second wave came soon after. Catching hold of the wave, Inuyasha stood with ease and began to carve into the wave.

This is what life should be like all the time, none of that other bullshit.

Inuyasha made a cutback motion and began going the other way. Twenty feet from shore now, Inuyasha decided to try something before the wave broke. He rode to the top of the wave and slashed, sending a splash of water as he did. The wave broke throwing Inuyasha off guard and he fell into the wave. When the wave passed Inuyasha managed to come up.

Fucking water in my ear already, damn.

He grabbed the rails of his board and maneuvered himself up on to the deck and made his way back out to the line up. Sitting up Inuyasha banged his hand against his head a few times to remove the unsightly water. The shore was now more visible to Inuyasha as the storm had already begun to clear. As he peered out he noticed some one had come onto the beach. A girl surfer in a wet suit, by what Inuyasha could see.

"Feh, pathetic human, she won't even paddle out 10 feet in these waves. God this is going to be so funny."

+ On the shore +

Kagome Higurashi, a girl of seventeen, was about to make her way out into the water. She was tall and skinny with a great figure from being on the school's track and soccer teams. Her light blue eyes scanned the distance to see anyone in the water but she found no one. The rain was only lightly falling now as she attached her leash to her right ankle.

"Hmm, the storm is already beginning to clear but it is still going to be difficult to paddle out. I wish some other people were here."

Kagome made her way into the water, jumped on her light green Roxy short board, and began paddling out. The waves were a slight hassle for Kagome, as she paddled and dove under breaking waves.

+ In the Line Up +

A small laugh escaped Inuyasha as she watched the girl tried to maneuver herself through the waves.

Pathetic humans

A wave began to approach Inuyasha as he paddled. Catching hold of the wave, Inuyasha did not carve into the wave; instead he was going to go straight for the girl.

Let's see her avoid this

Kagome saw the surfer coming from ten feet away, " Hey man you better turn," she yelled knowing the man would not probably hear her. Inuyasha did hear her and as he approached the girl had no intention of turning yet. He was going to possibly avoid her at the last minute but something in his heart told him not to. Inuyasha decided to cutback on the wave before he came close to the girl and avoided her completely.

Damn why did I cut back?

Kagome dove under the wave, not wanting to get hammered off her board.

"Jerk, you saw me there," she yelled at the figure.

Soon she made it to the line up and sat up, she saw the boy approaching but noticed he was not a boy at all. He was a dog demon from what Kagome could see. The sun began to break through the clouds. It shone off Inuyasha's long silvery hair, giving him a kind of radiance.

"Wow," Kagome murmured, her heart beating quickly, than she caught sight of his ears.

O, look at his doggie ears, I just want to touch them.

When Inuyasha was only a few feet away Kagome said, "I thought you were going to hit me there for a second. Anyway the line up is packed today, don't you think?"

Inuyasha ignored her completely and began to paddle away from her.

"Hey that's kind of rude," said Kagome

Inuyasha stopped his paddling for a moment and turned his head toward her, "And I care why?"

Kagome thought for a moment, "I don't know."

"Exactly," he responded as he began paddling again.

"Hey, ya know I am starting to think you tried to hit me back there," she shouted at him.

Inuyasha continued paddling and shouted, "Hmm, I think I was, I don't need people nor pathetic humans for that matter, crowding up the water."

Kagome's temper began to flair, "Excuse me, but I am sorry that you are so fat that the ocean can't even sustain you hugeness or your ego for that matter. I wouldn't want to hear you if one more person came into the water. You might lose it."

Inuyasha turned around and paddled towards her. A small wave of fear shot through her body.

Kagome what were you thinking he is a demon!?

Inuyasha came directly up besides her board, "You pathetic wench. What did you say?"

"I said you have a huge ego and you are a fat ass, didn't you hear me!" she shouted back.

A wave began to approach the two and Kagome began paddling, leaving Inuyasha yelling back at her various vulgar expressions. She caught hold of the wave and stood up carving into the wave. Kagome gracefully rode the wave, maneuvering a few tricks as she went. Inuyasha stopped his ranting as he watched her slash off the wave, soon the wave became a barrel and he could no longer see her. Kagome rode the wave even after it broke all the way into shore, right up onto the beach. She unhooked her leash, grabbed her bag, and made her way down the path and out of sight.

Stupid wench she's pretty good though. Maybe I will see her around.
