Chapter One; Juice

Inuyasha Takahashi sat in front of his television set, tired from a long day at the office. Today was one of those days in which he wanted to do absolutely nothing more than open a beer and sit in front of the television to watch baseball. But appears even that simple wish is much too complicated as a soft knock reached the ears atop of his head.

With a grunt, the 25 year old hanyou stood up from his couch and went to answer the door.

'Who the fuc-"

His thought never finished as the knocking started up again, this time sounding more sloppy than the previous.

"I'm coming, damn it!" Inuyasha yelled as he opened the door, revealing his next-door neighbor as the disturbance to his quiet evening. Before he could tell her off, she had the nerve to shove a bottle of apple juice into his hands.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but would you mind opening my apple juice for me?" she asked him. Inuyasha looked at her.

"What?" he asked her, in disbelief. She sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose with her hand.

"As you can see, my arm is broken," she said, motioning to her right arm that was in a cast covered with the signatures of what he assumed to be her family and friends. "I can't open the juice with only one hand, no matter how hard I scream 'Open Sesame'. Could you please..."

She trailed off and Inuyasha still couldn't stop looking at her as if she had just asked him to go swimming with piranhas. She fidgeted and scratched the back of her head while Inuyasha tried to come up with an answer.

"Look you don't have to if you don't want to. I can just wait till my roommate comes home, hopefully before I dehydrate to death or the juice goes bad. I can wait. I think." she babbled. Inuyasha scoffed, feeling like an idiot for going so unresponsive for so long, and without effort, opened the bottle.

"Keh. Here, wench." He handed her back the bottle as a look of shock came on her face.

"Wench? My name is Ka-Go-MayGot that?" She replied with an angry huff. He nearly smiled, noting how cute she looked angry. She tried to cross her arms, but to her embarrassment, her cast prevented her from doing so. She opted to snatch the bottle back from his extended hand and walked back to her apartment. The door slammed and Inuyasha chuckled.

"Crazy wench."

He shut his door and made his way over to his couch, turning up the volume to the television. He took a drink of his beer and chuckled once more at Ka-Go-May.
